Chan Xue said, "But... you're going to marry the Fifth Prince in the future, so why should you worry about the Second Miss?"
Duan Qingxi just doesn’t like Chanxue being too smart. It’s too difficult to deceive her!
"This... this is the problem! What if Duan Shishi doesn't want me to marry the Fifth Prince?! And even if I succeed in marrying him, I still need the support of my parents to gain a foothold in the Fifth Prince's Mansion. If my brother doesn't join my camp at that time, won't he be bullied to death?"
Chanxue thought about it and felt that this was the truth.
Duan Qingxi took the opportunity to say, "You're smarter than Qiao Yun, and you've been to a brothel before, so you're better at reading people's expressions and adapting to changing circumstances. The reason I've asked you to stay by my brother's side so I can help keep an eye on him and prevent Duan Shishi's men from taking advantage of me!"
Chan Xue originally thought that Duan Qingxi wanted to send her to Duan Sijin again, but after hearing what she said, she dispelled her original suspicion.
"So that's how it is..."
Since this is the task assigned to her by the young lady, she should indeed complete it well!
Besides... she thought Duan Yu was a nice guy, and she didn't know if she could stay with the young lady for the rest of her life.
Therefore, it seems like a good idea to take advantage of this time to investigate Duan Yu.
If Duan Qingxi knew what Chanxue was thinking, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood!
How can I not be angry after working so hard to make wedding dresses for others?
However, Duan Qingxi's worries were indeed right.
Duan Shishi also realized that if she wanted to gain a foothold in the General's Mansion in the future, the smartest thing to do would be to win over Duan Sijin.
No matter how much Duan Hong loves and pampers her now, he will still die in the future.
Once he died, Duan Sijin would be in charge of the entire general's mansion.
Although Duan Sijin has not yet entered the court to serve as an official, he is the only disciple of the imperial teacher, so becoming an official is just a matter of a word.
Duan Shishi is also smart. She knows that women and treasures have little appeal to Duan Sijin, so she takes the initiative to please him in person.
It’s a pity that Duan Sijin didn’t take her flattery seriously at all, so the woman planned to start with Duan Hong.
No one knew what she said or did, but Duan Hong actually forced Duan Sijin to swear at the dinner table that he would treat Duan Shishi well in the future and protect her for the rest of her life no matter what she did.
Duan Sijin naturally knew what Duan Shishi was thinking, and he also knew that Duan Hong had poured all his love and affection for the first lady into her.
Not wanting to break up with Duan Hong at the dinner table, but also not wanting to be schemed against by Duan Shishi, he had no choice but to say, "If she behaves well and doesn't do anything that harms the world, I will naturally protect her for the rest of her life. Even if she wants to be the Crown Princess, as long as the Crown Prince is willing to marry her, I am willing to help her ascend to that position."
After a brief pause, Duan Sijin's tone suddenly became stern, "But if I find out that she has done anything outrageous or abused her power to bully the weak, not only will I not protect her, I will kill her myself!"
Duan Shishi was frightened by Duan Sijin's tone. She secretly pulled Duan Hong's sleeve and pretended to be pitiful with red eyes.
Duan Hong was immediately dissatisfied, but before he could say anything, Duan Sijin said, "Dad, you're not going to make me swear that even if she commits murder and arson, I will fight to the death to protect her, right?! She's your daughter, so am I not your son?! To put it bluntly, it's me who will take care of you in your old age, not you, the daughter who will get married sooner or later!"
Duan Hong didn't expect Duan Sijin to suddenly lose his temper. In his memory, although his son was a bit cold and not easy to get close to others, he had never been like this before.
Moreover, what Duan Sijin said does make sense.
But he still said, "What are you doing? Dad is just worried that you have misunderstood Shishi because of what happened before. Don't say that Shishi is not that kind of person. If she is, I won't let her go even if you don't take action. Your worry is completely unnecessary."
