Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 259 Our girl is good at summarizing.

When Du Anrao learned the whole story, he couldn't resist watching the drama unfold.

[I used to think it was already exaggerated that a man was considered to be in his prime at forty. Goodness, my great-uncle is already in his seventies or eighties, and he's still highly sought after!]

Du Desheng: "..." The most coveted thing in people's eyes is not your great-uncle's old bones, but the assets behind me.

【But, auntie, isn't your matchmaking a bit unfair? My great-uncle is already in his seventies or eighties, while you look to be in your fifties at most. Your sister is definitely younger than you, introducing her to someone old enough to be her uncle as a husband—you sisters really have a deep bond!】

Du Anrao's words drew everyone's attention back to Madam Shen. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed as Du Anrao had described.
Grandma definitely doesn't know about this. I'll go back and tell her all about it after I get my things; she'll definitely be very interested.

Du Desheng: "!!!" Shut up, no, shut up too! What are you doing doing this on such a nice day? With your gossip, even your great-uncle won't be able to get into the bedroom tonight!

As the two women in yellow talked more and more outrageously, Du Anrao couldn't help but feel sorry for them for a few seconds.

The woman in yellow looked like a helpless sheep lost among wolves, her face a clear plea for help. Unfortunately, good advice is useless against these idiots; some people are just asking for trouble, sneaking into a wedding to spy on the newlyweds. This was probably the first time she'd encountered such a bizarre situation. If there were a hole in the ground, she'd definitely sneak into it to distance herself from these two fools.

Only then did the Du family members notice that behind the two women who were spouting nonsense was a woman in yellow who was huddled up in a ball, trying to make herself as inconspicuous as possible, and looking like she wanted to escape the scene at any moment.

It might seem... that it's really quite pitiful.

Du Desheng took a deep breath, feeling that he couldn't let this matter continue to escalate. At the very least, he had to nip the idea of ​​his granddaughter wanting to gossip about his blind date history to his wife in the bud!

"An'an, why aren't you going to the front to eat at the banquet? What are you doing hiding here?"

Du Desheng's sudden outburst not only startled Du Anrao, but also greatly frightened the few people who were whispering in front of him.

Especially the woman in yellow, with a look of panic as if she were about to face a great calamity and her soul was about to leave her body. If you didn't know better, you might think that she was the one gossiping behind people's backs, rather than the two brilliant strategists in front of her.

Despite being frightened, Du Anrao was not at all timid, and even somewhat self-righteous: "Grandpa, I was busy eavesdropping."

Du Desheng was almost amused by her: "Eavesdropping? What kind of eavesdropping made you so engrossed? You even forgot to eat?"

The group, already feeling guilty, suddenly realized that besides these newcomers, there was an uninvited guest who had been nearby and overheard their conversation. Their faces turned deathly pale.

Although Madam Shen's husband was more than ten years younger than Du Desheng, he held a high position in the clan, so she always considered herself Du Desheng's peer.

Upon discovering that the person "eavesdropping" was the young girl who had just helped the bride enter the bridal chamber, his face darkened instantly, and he immediately adopted the airs of an elder.

"Young people these days are becoming more and more unruly. Of all the things they could learn, they're doing sneaky, eavesdropping things. They have no manners whatsoever and are not presentable."

Before Du Anrao could say anything, her family members objected.

Du Hexuan snorted coldly, his gaze towards Madam Shen filled with disdain: "My sister is listening to people talk in her own home, that's called eavesdropping, that's called listening openly and honestly!" "Exactly," Du Yuxi quickly chimed in, her voice cold, "There's no such thing as something that can't be said to others. If this lady is truly upright, why is she afraid of people hearing what she's saying? Unless you know that what you're saying is some shameful and outrageous nonsense, then you're worried about being overheard, exposed, and losing face."

Du Yihan put one hand on her hip and sneered, "My little sister is young, and we didn't mind that your foul language offended her ears. But you're the one who's accusing us first, coming to our house to slander us. Do you really think we're all as kind and easy to bully as she is?"

Du Junyan watched his younger siblings launch into a tirade, then simply adjusted his glasses and declared definitively, "Whether our little sister is well-mannered or not is not for some gossipy woman who likes to come to other people's homes and spread rumors to judge."

Mr. and Mrs. Du: "..." Although we are happy that you love and protect our sister, you've already said everything, so what are we supposed to say?
After being rebuked by their children, the couple, who had run out of material to say but were unwilling to remain silent on the matter, decisively chose: "They are right!"

"Yes, I agree with them."

This drew a disdainful look from Du Desheng, who thought to himself, "What capable children and what useless parents they have."

Mr. and Mrs. Du: "..."

As the only non-Du family member in the group, Xi Jingyue silently kept his mouth shut at this moment, only giving Du Anrao a reassuring look that said "Don't be impatient."

“You…you all…” Madam Shen had never been so contradicted by a junior before. Her face turned ashen, and she looked furious, as if she might faint at any moment.

Du Desheng, however, was still not satisfied. He completely ignored her blustering attempt to save face and directly asked Du Anrao, "What did they say that made you so nervous? Tell your great-grandfather what they said."

These words indirectly defined the nature of their conversation, and the expressions of Madam Shen and Madam Kou changed slightly, their panic becoming visibly apparent.

"Old Du..."

"Did I ask you two?" Du Desheng's sharp gaze swept over them, making the two tremble and fall silent, not daring to utter another word.

"An'an, tell me."

Du Anrao chuckled: "She didn't say anything. This lady couldn't stand your deep affection and harmonious relationship with Grandma. She called Grandma a vixen who sucks people's life force and cheats them out of money and sex, and called Grandpa a blind and foolish ruler who is blinded by lust. She cursed you two to be unhappy after marriage, and that Grandpa would lose both his money and his reputation in his later years."

Du Anrao pointed at Madam Shen, then at Madam Kou: "This lady is even more outrageous. She is quite dissatisfied with how you deal with your unfilial descendants. She mocked you, Grandpa, that you will have no descendants in the future, no one to care for you in your old age, and a miserable end."

After finishing his sentence, Du Anrao pretended to wipe away non-existent tears: "Who would deliberately choose such an auspicious day to say such unlucky things? I suspect they are your enemies, Grandpa, who deliberately sent them to annoy you. You must investigate them thoroughly." Don't let them get away with this easily!

Xi Jingyue: Pfft...

The Du family members: "..." I have to say, our girl is good at summarizing. After this description, these two in front of us will be lucky to escape with their lives!
