Chapter 1584: Hidden Truth (2)
"Heihei..." Hao Jian chuckled foolishly, "Even the Beast is getting married, I can’t fall behind him..."
"I knew it would be this." Yang Ruxin also laughed, "Pass my congratulations to Qin Shou."
"No problem, I’m off, Sister Ruxin..."
After Hao Jian walked away, Yang Ruxin glanced at Du Man: "You’re from Quanzhou. Do you know anything about the Meng Family from Quanzhou?"
"Can’t say I know much, but I’ve heard of them." Du Juan’s expression turned a bit peculiar, "They used to rely on the Chu Family to survive... As for the specifics... Miss, you’d better ask my parents. They’re... much clearer on these things than I am."
Yang Ruxin gave Du Man a look. Based on this girl’s reaction, they seemed familiar with the Meng Family. Without delay, she rushed back and summoned Du Chengxiu (to avoid confusion, we’ll use this name instead of Xiaofeng going forward) and his wife to her side.
"The Meng Family." The moment Du Chengxiu heard "Meng Family," his face darkened, and even the hand hanging by his side clenched tightly, "How could I not know the Meng Family?"
"They’re just heartless, ungrateful scum." Ye Shi cursed directly, her rage making her entire body tremble.
"Mother," Du Man hurried over to support Ye Shi, "It’s all in the past now."
Yang Ruxin raised an eyebrow slightly—was there more to this?
"Miss, I won’t hide it from you. Back then, Meng Huaizhong’s younger daughter, Meng Keran, had a marriage contract with Yunpeng..." Du Chengxiu let out a bitter smile, "But later, a girl from the Meng Family entered the palace and reportedly gained favor from someone of high status. Then, my dear younger brother thought this would be a good match and colluded with Meng Huaizhong..." He shook his head as he recounted. "Our branch was destroyed... At the time, the second and third branches sabotaged us, and we fled from the Du Family. Thinking we had in-laws, we reached out to the Meng Family, but unexpectedly... This leg of mine was broken when assassins found me due to their leaking the information."
