Meng Tao was willing to talk to Gu Panpan because, first, she was curious about what she was going to do, second, she wanted to get to know more about Feng Liuyun through her, and third, she was free anyway, so she might as well chat with her to kill time before the banquet started. But chatting was one thing, but she couldn't disturb others.

Meng Tao said to Gu Panpan, "This is the Dou Mansion, not your home. It is not your turn to arrange for the guests. You should be quiet and don't cause trouble, so as not to be disliked by the host."

Gu Panpan sneered: "You are the one who is despised. It's pathetic that you don't have any self-awareness. You will be finished when Dou Nannan finds out. I am doing this for your own good. I urge you to listen to me, so as not to be kicked out and humiliated in front of everyone."

Meng Tao: "Then tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Fu Yuting and Su Meiling looked at Gu Panpan like a fool. Was this to scare a child? Madam Dou personally brought Meng Tao in. Everyone knew that the Xu family loved their only grandson Shen Yu very much, and they protected their grandson's wife even more tightly. The relationship between the Xu and Dou families was so good, how could they drive Meng Tao out? But after hearing what Meng Tao said, they realized that she really believed Gu Panpan. Fu Yuting and Su Meiling were busy trying to persuade her, but when they looked up, they saw Dou Nannan and Han Dongdong walking in from the door.

The two thought: Well, this is a coincidence, no need to say anything. They closed their mouths at the same time, each grabbed a handful of melon seeds and ate them, waiting to watch the fun.

Meng Tao also saw Dou Nannan and Han Dongdong. Gu Panpan and Feng Liuyun had their backs to the door and didn't notice. Gu Panpan thought she had persuaded Meng Tao and was secretly happy. She pretended to be calm and continued, "Don't blame Dou Nannan for hating you. Dou Nannan loves Shen Yu so much, but you married Shen Yu first. You are stealing her lover and are her love rival. Do you think she will not retaliate against you? For love, she can do anything. But you can trust me and cooperate with me. I promise to keep you safe and will not be retaliated against by Dou Nannan."

"What are you going to cooperate with me for? How can you guarantee my safety?"

"Dou Nannan and I have been good sisters and friends since childhood. I know her best. Anyway, don't worry about it. I have a way to persuade her to let go of her hatred for you and stop making things difficult for you. If I help you, you owe me a favor. When I need you, you have to repay me. This is our cooperation. Don't worry, what I want you to do is not difficult. It may be as simple as a few words for you."

With her sixth sense, Meng Tao almost immediately guessed what Gu Panpan wanted her to do for him - her eldest cousin Xu Hengkai was already dating Gu Yingying, and both families agreed, and it was gradually known in the circle, but Gu Panpan still didn't give up. She was now restricted by Grandma Xu and couldn't enter the Xu Mansion at will. Pan Lina also had a tense relationship with her and even refused to meet her. She turned to use Meng Tao. If Meng Tao listened to her and invited her, she could enter and leave the Xu Mansion freely, so why worry about not being able to get close to Xu Hengkai? Opportunities are reserved for those who are determined, and in the end she will definitely achieve her wish! In his previous life, Xu Hengkai was probably tricked by Gu Panpan and Pan Lina's joint "cooperation" and had to marry Gu Panpan.

No matter how smart or powerful he is, he can't protect his own family.

There is no such thing in this life. Meng Tao is not Pan Lina.

Meng Tao saw Dou Nannan standing behind Gu Panpan with a pale face, clenching his fists but not moving. Maybe he wanted to hear something from Gu Panpan, so he said slowly, "When I heard this, it felt mysterious. You don't want me to do any spying, do you? I can't do that."

"What spy? You? Oh hahahaha… you're so funny!"

Gu Panpan finished laughing and said, "It's hard to discuss in detail with so many people here. Anyway, it's not difficult. I'm not asking you to do anything bad. You just need to trust me. Dou Nannan and I have a very close relationship. No one can help you persuade her except me. You have to know that Dou Nannan is very fierce and cruel. It's very scary when she gets angry..."

"How can I be fierce? Is that so?"

Dou Nannan really couldn't stand it anymore, so she walked forward, picked up the teapot in one hand, and poured the warm tea directly on Gu Panpan's head. With the other hand, she grabbed a rag and stuffed it into her mouth before Gu Panpan could scream. Gu Panpan had to thank the Dou family for hosting a banquet today. All the rags were newly opened white towels, and apart from being soaked in tea and stained with dust, they were not very dirty.

Feng Liuyun, who was listening attentively and cooperating with Gu Panpan like a little fan girl worshipping her idol, was so scared that she wanted to open her mouth and scream, but Han Dongdong did the same to her and blocked her mouth, and then twisted her elbow and buckled it on her back. Feng Liuyun's body twisted like a shrimp in pain, and she made a whimpering sound like a puppy.

There was a carved sandalwood screen separating the tea table. People on the other side were busy chatting and laughing, and didn't notice what was happening here.

Meng Tao couldn't imagine that both girls had practiced martial arts before, and their techniques were neat and sharp. Dou Nannan looked quite serious with her cold and arrogant expression, and had a kind of sharp chivalrous air. Han Dongdong was quite surprising, she was soft and cute like a harmless little white rabbit, but she actually had experienced the pain of practicing martial arts.

Gu Panpan was treated better than Feng Liuyun. Apart from having a pot of tea poured over her mouth to block it, she did not suffer any physical pain. However, she was held tightly in Dou Nannan's hand and could not break free.

Dou Nannan said to Su Meiling and Fu Yuting, "My sisters-in-law have seen it all. She slandered me behind my back. I can't let this happen. Now go to the yard and walk around. Pretend you didn't see anything. We'll leave later. This is a matter between her and me. We'll be done with it after we've settled the score. It won't bother you."

Su Meiling nodded, Fu Yuting pulled Meng Tao up, and Dou Nannan rolled her eyes at Meng Tao: "How old are you? Do you believe anything they say to you? You still want to cooperate with others, you have no brains!"

Meng Tao: “…”

Han Dongdong shouted anxiously: "Sister Nannan, stop talking. It will be bad if someone comes!"

Dou Nannan snorted, "Come on, you guys, be natural and relaxed, don't let anyone notice!"

Oh, that's arrogant.

Meng Tao really wanted to argue, but seeing how hard Han Dongdong was working by lip-syncing and blinking at her, she decided to put it aside for the time being and tolerate her a little longer.

Watching Meng Tao walk out with Su Meiling and Fu Yuting, Han Dongdong breathed a sigh of relief, secretly feeling proud of his own cleverness.

She just went to find her grandfather, who told her not to worry and whispered to her: The girl from the Gu family would use Wen Lan to cause trouble for the Meng family in such occasions, and someone might also want to provoke Sister Tao Tao, because there were many girls who liked Shen Yu, but in the end he married Sister Tao Tao who came from another province. This was a good thing, but it would also bring some trouble to Sister Tao Tao.

Grandpa told her to come back quickly to stay with Sister Taotao, and to pay special attention to Dou Nannan. Dou Nannan, like Meng Wenxin, also liked Shen Yu, and the two often attacked and ridiculed each other at various gatherings.

The Dou family is treating us all to a meal today, and Dou Nannan might not do anything out of line for the sake of her family's reputation, but if she wanted to make things a little difficult for Sister Taotao, no one else would be able to tell.

Grandpa was worried and asked her to take good care of Sister Taotao and not let her suffer any harm.

Han Dongdong came here in response to orders and happened to meet Dou Nannan in the corridor. She suddenly had an idea and remembered that Dou Nannan and Meng Wenxin were sworn enemies and both hated Meng Wenlan. The girl brought by Gu Panpan claimed to be Meng Wenlan's closest and best friend.

If Dou Nannan knew that Gu Panpan secretly brought a friend of someone she hated extremely, not only to her house to inquire about Meng Wenlan, but also to eat her birthday banquet, according to Dou Nannan's personality, she would definitely not let Gu Panpan off! Chao Dongdong was excited: Isn't this a ready-made three birds with one stone? Just need to pull Dou Nannan, not only will Gu Panpan get rid of the trouble with her grandfather, but also use Feng Liuyun to attract Dou Nannan's attention, so that she will not have the heart to do small tricks for Sister Taotao; she can also have fun easily, without having to always watch over Sister Taotao! But I didn't expect that Gu Panpan would be so stubborn, saying so many bad things about Dou Nannan behind her back and was caught - from now on, her temper will not be very good... No, no, Sister Nannan, who hates evil, has another mortal enemy, alas.

Han Dongdong was muttering to herself, but it did not affect her actions at all. She was very considerate and helped Dou Nannan to take Gu Panpan and Feng Liuyun out of the wing hall and to the side yard where they were locked in two separate rooms. Dou Nannan talked to Gu Panpan first, while Han Dongdong tactfully closed the door and left, running to find her friends.

There is no need to worry about Dou Nannan. She is strong enough to deal with two or three men at the same time. Gu Panpan doesn't know martial arts, and Feng Liuyun is spineless. If these two don't give in, they will never be able to escape from Dou Nannan's control no matter what.

Meng Tao followed Su Meiling and Fu Yuting to other halls and rooms, talked to different people, and then prepared to start the meal.

Madam Dou came to find Meng Tao specially, took her to the main room, and arranged her to sit at the table where Granny Xu, Old Madam Dou and others were sitting. This was a high-standard treatment, and other young wives could only envy them. However, Meng Tao knew that she actually preferred to sit at an ordinary seat, so that she could eat more comfortably and eat more.

About half an hour after the meal, Shen Yu came to pick up Meng Tao. The couple went to say goodbye to the host and other elders. Han Shufang took Xiao Mingming and went home with them. Liu Yongsheng would be back later. It was still early and most of the guests were still there. The host asked him to stay for a while to talk.

After the banquet, Meng Tao never saw Han Dongdong again. She didn't go to find Han Dongdong to inquire about it. She was not curious about what kind of conflict had occurred between Dou Nannan and Gu Panpan. With Gu Panpan's bad character, it would not be excessive for Dou Nannan to do anything to her.

But you have to keep an eye on Feng Liuyun.

Xiao Mingming got in the car, chatting and laughing with Meng Tao, but suddenly he tilted his head and leaned on his grandmother's arms and didn't move. Meng Tao hurried to hold his little hand, worried that something had happened to him. Han Shufang smiled and said, "He fell asleep. He met some children at the Dou Mansion today. He had a lot of fun but also felt tired. He started to feel sleepy during dinner. So we hurried home to wash him and let him rest."

"He suddenly fell asleep while talking. It scared me!"

Meng Tao couldn't help laughing. Is this the legendary sleep-in-a-second thing? (End of this chapter)
