When Du Ruo heard Cheng Yunshuo's concerned words, she couldn't help but feel sad, and she told Cheng Yunshuo that her unsatisfactory brother had incurred gambling debts and had affected her.
"My brother has been addicted to gambling during this time and owes a lot of money. He asked me to borrow money several times. Every time he said he would not gamble anymore. Today, everyone in the gambling house has gone to the Hou Mansion to collect debts and owes a huge amount again. debt!"
Du Ruo regards Cheng Yunshuo as her husband and is completely trustworthy.
She had no idea of covering up and telling him all the bad things her parents had done.
"I'm really mad. Last time my eldest brother came over and asked me to borrow a hundred taels. He said he would keep an eye on him and never ask him to gamble again. Today it's three hundred taels again, and I asked them to pay for my dowry. Empty, how could they do this!”
Du Ruo looked extremely depressed, then heard Cheng Yunshuo speak.
"Betting dogs are like this. They are full of lies. Can you believe a word they say? They are one thing when they want money, and another thing when they have money. They are as disgusting as flies in a cesspool!"
Cheng Yunshuo's words shocked Du Ruo, who was chattering endlessly. She raised her head in disbelief and looked at Cheng Yunshuo who said these words.
"I said before that the two of them are not doing their jobs properly. Now it's not unusual at all to be obsessed with gambling." Cheng Yunshuo sat alone and poured himself a cup of hot tea with a look of disgust on his face. "You should break up with your two brothers as soon as possible." Don’t worry about the relationship, so you don’t get entangled with this kind of gambling dog, and it will be embarrassing to our Marquis Mansion in the future!"
"Cheng Yunshuo!"
Du Ruo screamed uncontrollably.
"What are you doing?" Cheng Yunshuo raised his eyebrows with a strange look on his face.
"How can you say that about my brother? That's my brother!"
"Ha!" Cheng Yunshuo snorted coldly, "My dear brother, the dear brother who came to you to ask for money to settle his gambling debts?"
"That's also my dowry money. I didn't use the money from the Hou Mansion! I didn't use a penny from you!"
Cheng Yunshuo looked at her strangely, "Did I say you used the money from the Hou Mansion?"
"Cheng Yunshuo, why are you such a person!" Du Ruo felt extremely aggrieved.
She didn't use him a penny!
Why should he dislike her?
Why scold her brother!
"What kind of person am I?" Cheng Yunshuo was puzzled. He was talking about the matter, and which word was wrong.
"No matter how bad my brothers are, they are still my brothers. How can you say that to them!"
"Ha!" Cheng Yunshuo tilted his head and took a sip of tea, "You didn't tell me that!"
For a moment, Du Ruo felt as if he had drawn a bow and shot an arrow into his heart.
From the beginning, she talked heart-to-heart to Cheng Yunshuo about her family affairs, treating him as someone who was of the same mind as hers, whom she could trust without reservation, and whom she could rely on unconditionally. She wanted to get comfort and even a little help from Cheng Yunshuo.
He could scold them, but he should stand with her and accuse them of not doing well, and he should help her persuade her brothers.
But Cheng Yunshuo...her husband, the person she trusted the most, only felt disgusted after hearing about her.
This kind of disgust was like a stab in the back, pricking her heart hard, and it was because of what she said to him...
What she told him would allow him to unscrupulously insult her brother and her family!
After all, he didn't look down on her brother, he looked down on her!
At this moment, a suffocating pain crawled into her heart.
"Why are you such a person!" Du Ruo rushed forward and beat Cheng Yunshuo, "My brother has never been sorry to you, and our Du family has never been sorry to you! You want to humiliate us like this!"
Cheng Yunshuo was confused by her sudden anger, "How could I humiliate your family? Isn't it because you said that your brother asked for money again and again? Whoever listened would not say that they were dog gamblers!"
"Then you are not allowed to talk about them!" Du Ruo screamed.
Cheng Yunshuo pushed her away, "You are so unreasonable!"
"Get out, get out, get out!" Du Ruo rushed up again, punching and kicking him.
Cheng Yunshuo was not used to it. After being hit twice, he turned around and left, "Humph!"
After Cheng Yunshuo was beaten away by Du Ruo, Du Ruo was so angry and annoyed that he hugged himself tightly in the room and cried bitterly.
The quarrel in Xiaoheyuan quickly spread to Lu Lingyun.
It's not that the maid came and said it, it was Cheng Yunshuo who came and said it himself.
"Lingyun, do you think Du Ruo is being unreasonable? I said something wrong. Her brother owed gambling debts and brought them to our house. I called him a gambling dog, but she started crying first."
Lu Lingjun: "......"
The more Cheng Yunshuo thought about it, the angrier he became. Du Ruo's brother was causing trouble outside, so how could it be his fault?
Lu Lingjun looked at his confused and depressed face, and smiled in her heart. She suppressed a secret smile and said generously and relieved, "Aunt Du is also eager to protect her family. Anyone who hears others scolding her family will be unhappy."
"I didn't say that first! She told me herself!" Cheng Yunshuo turned his head to the side, "Besides, why did I call her brother a dog bettor? His brother is a dog bettor! I was right!"
Lu Lingjun looked at Cheng Yunshuo, who was angry like a child, with a faint smile on his lips.
Men always mature later than women, or in other words, they remain a big boy all their lives.
Cheng Yunshuo was more tolerant and tolerant of Du Ruo than others, but in the end, he was just a child who grew up being pampered by a group of people.
Even with his experience, he is still a noble man who wants others to accommodate him.
Where can I calm down and listen carefully to what women are thinking? If a woman has expectations for him, she will definitely be disappointed.
Lu Lingjun let him vent his grievances here. After expressing his dissatisfaction, he looked at the children after dinner, and his face looked a little more mature.
After coaxing the children, he returned to his Yaoguang Pavilion to rest.
I didn’t go to Xiaoheyuan the next day either.
Du Ruo didn't give in and took the initiative to find him.
On the third day, Du Ruo asked to go back to her aunt's house for two days, and Lu Lingjun agreed.
Du Ruo returned to her parents' home for three days at a time, during which Cheng Yunshuo asked once.
He didn't say anything after learning that she had returned to her parents' home.
Fast forward a few days, Cheng Yunshuo had just finished his errand today, left the palace gate, and was riding back to the house when a figure came over.
"Yunshuo!"
"Brother-in-law!"
The familiar voice was Du Ruo's brother.
Seeing it was Du Yang, Cheng Yunshuo frowned slightly.
"What's your business?"
Du Yang stepped forward eagerly, "Yun Shuo, my unlucky brother has encountered something recently. Please lend me some money for help!"
When Cheng Yunshuo heard that he was borrowing money, he immediately raised his eyebrows while sitting on the horse with a look of disgust on his face, "He went gambling again?"
"Oh, I knew I couldn't hide it from you." Du Yang said with a look of hatred, "He was tricked and arrested by the gambling house people!"
