Chapter 156: Being Slapped in the Face

Duwei Mansion.

The Jinwu Guards, who had nothing to do, gathered in groups of three or five to chat and talk.

"It's so boring!"

"Who said it wasn't true? There isn't even a girl in the Duwei Mansion. There are only a bunch of us old masters. What's the point?"

"It would be nice if Aruo was still here."

When someone mentioned Du Ruo, the eyes of the people around him immediately lit up.

"Yes, I miss A Ruo."

"It's fun to have Aru here."

"Why did Aruo insist on living in Cheng Yunshuo's house? She stopped coming to the Duwei Mansion."

At this moment, in the small garden behind the group of people, the eyes of a young woman also lit up.

Everyone's words fell into her ears.

A subtle sense of self-confidence arose in her heart, a kind of pride that she had weight in the hearts of others and was admired by a group of people. She just felt satisfied and proud in her heart. She inadvertently glanced at the woman standing next to her.

Just when Du Ruo was showing off and feeling proud, a loud laugh came from several Jinwu Guards.

“Hahaha! Hahaha!”

"Ah Kun, what are you laughing at!"

Wei Kun, who was laughing non-stop, held onto the corridor pillar and looked at the others with a gleaming face, "Do you know what Du Ruo secretly said to me last time?"

"What?"

"Tell me now, I wanted to ask you that day. Aruo looked strange. Could it be that she wanted to marry you?"

"That's right! She just came to me and asked me to marry her!"

The surrounding Jinwu guards were stunned for a moment, and the next moment, everyone burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!"

“I am dying of laughter!”

"That silly girl Du Ruo is so interesting!"

Du Ruo, who was eavesdropping at the back of the garden, froze instantly when he heard these people's laughter.

She had been dealing with these people for a long time and could hear the meaning in their laughter.

It was a mocking laugh she had never heard before.

The group of Kingu Guards laughed even louder, and their laughter was full of mockery.

It attracted all the Jinwu guards passing by.

Everyone asked them what they were laughing at.

These people told them that Du Ruo asked Wei Kun to marry her.

In an instant, the Jinwu Guards who were walking over also joined in laughing.

"Is that girl really out of her mind?"

"She even wants Wei Kun to marry her. How can she say such ridiculous things!"

"She doesn't even look at who she is! How can she enter the Wei family's gate?"

"What qualifications does she have to enter the Wei family and become the first wife? How dare you ask you to marry her? Because her two brothers are both Jinwu Guards!"

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. A-Kun, are you going to marry Du Ruo?"

"Get lost!" Wei Kun said with disgust, "That crazy girl is crazy, but my family is not crazy! Whoever wants her can have her!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

His disgusted words once again made everyone around him laugh.

"No, no, no, I don't want it!"

"I can't bear it even if Du Ruo gives it to me!"

"Give it to you. Aren't you the one who dotes on Du Ruo the most?"

"Come on! It's just a joke, who would marry her if they really wanted to?"

Normally, as Du Ruo was the sister of their colleague, they would give her some face even though they saw her often.

Besides, the Commandant's Mansion was really boring. Du Ruo was the only girl there, and everyone treated her like a little pet and pampered her, lifting her up from time to time to kill time.

But in the end, no one really took her seriously.

Not to mention marrying her!

Because of Du Ruo's cheerful and uninhibited behavior, he was actually the first one they disliked when he mixed with them!

Who would marry a virtuous woman from a noble family as his main wife? Who would marry a wife if he did not marry her family background and father? Who would marry Du Ruo?

The mocking laughter came one after another. Since Cheng Yunshuo was no longer in the Duwei Mansion, they became even more unscrupulous.

Du Ruo, who was standing behind the garden, heard the mocking laughter with a look of disbelief on his face.

They, they actually looked at her like this from behind...

All of them were so nice and doting to her on weekdays, but they all laughed at her behind her back!

No one even looks up to her!

In an instant, a bunch of complex emotions such as shock, shame, anger, grievance, etc. all flooded into my eyes.

After the disbelief, a burning sensation rose on my face.

It was like being slapped in the face in public.

The flame of anger suddenly burned in her heart and she rushed forward.

"A Ruo!" Lu Lingyun couldn't help but see Du Ruo rushing directly into the group of Jinwu Guards who were laughing at her, and laughing at Wei Kun who was still laughing in the center.

There was a loud and crisp sound of a slap.

When Wei Kun saw Du Ruo rushing out, he was stunned at first, with a bit of guilt and panic in his eyes, but the next second, Wei Kun, who was slapped in the face, became angry instantly.

"Du Ruo, you are crazy, aren't you!"

"Why did you tell me? Why did you lie to me?"

Du Ruo first questioned why he said it, and then questioned why he lied to her.

She was furious because she was more angry at Wei Kun for humiliating her than at Wei Kun for deceiving her.

In fact, she also had some idea in her heart that Wei Kun might not marry her.

But, but, why did he just say it so directly and humiliate her in public!

Wei Kun sneered when he heard this, "You really take yourself too seriously! Just because everyone praises you, you really think you are a princess. Go back and look in the mirror!"

"I'll kill you!" Du Ruo screamed and rushed up to hit him.

People around rushed to stop her.

"Aruo!"

"Forget it, forget it."

"Aruo, aren't you the most carefree one, the one who cares the least about these things? This is just a joke!"

"Everyone is kidding!"

Du Ruo heard all the persuasions and objections from the people around her, especially those who said that she was carefree and didn't care about the world and was joking. These words were like one loud slap after another, hitting Du Ruo in the face.

She used to love saying this to others.

In this chaotic moment, a cold and sharp voice came, "Stop it!"

Lu Lingyun came forward with a few servants. When everyone saw Lu Lingyun, they all stopped.

Lu Lingjun frowned and looked around at the people around him, then forcibly pulled Du Ruo back.

Du Ruo, who was pulled back, felt the gazes of the people around her. She suddenly pushed everyone away, covered her face and ran out of the Duwei Mansion.

"Aruo!"

"Du Ruo!"

Du Ruo ran back to her aunt's house in one breath.

Lu Lingyun followed the whole process and explained the situation to her aunt when they arrived at her aunt's house.

This was a serious incident and Du Ruo's brothers heard about it in the Duwei Mansion. After they returned and saw the closed door, Du Ruo thanked Lu Lingyun.

They said they would keep an eye on Du Ruo. When Lu Lingyun saw that Du Ruo's family had returned, he breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the Marquis' Mansion.
