Chapter 1552: Another New Brother-in-Law Has Arrived

an right away.At this time, he had some vague ideas in his mind.At this time, it was past noon. Ye Fan took a few puffs of smoke and then took out a banknote from his pocket and handed it to Tu Tu, sa...It has to be said, no matter what, the most fickle of all things is not nuclear physics or particles, but human hearts.

Looking at Aunt Wu, dressed in splendor, flitting through the courtyard like a butterfly amongst flowers, Duan Ning felt a surge of emotions. It brought to mind this saying:

Just a week ago, the Dali Duan clan was under intense scrutiny due to suspicions of leaking top-secret military intelligence. A joint investigation team comprising powerful agencies like Military Intelligence, National Security Bureau, and the Presidential Guard had been formed. Fear gripped every member of the Duan family – even Old Master Duan, after Li Nanfang decided to head north to retrieve his life-or-death notebook, uttered in a frail voice, "From now on, the Dali Duan clan will continue to remain low-key."

Those words still echoed in Duan Ning's ears. Li Nanfang, Duan Xiangning, and Duan Lingxing, who had gone to the peninsula, were still without news. However, the Dali Duan clan, due to Duan Xiang's miraculous engagement with Yue Qingke, their ambition, which had been sealed, suddenly broke out of its confinement.

Of course, Duan Ning also knew that Grandpa had made this decision after much deliberation and careful consideration.

After all, everyone in the Duan family, including the guard dogs who cooperated with the hospital patrols, sincerely hoped that the Duan family could become even stronger.

Only when the Duan family becomes even stronger can everyone live a better life.

The saying "water flows to low places, and people go to high places" has always been an indisputable adage.

So Duan Ning didn't think Grandpa "going back on his word" was wrong, and she didn't think there was anything amiss with using such a grand ceremony to welcome Yue Qingke who had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.

She hadn't forgotten that years ago, when Duan Xiangning married into the mediocre Lu family in the capital city, the Duan family had treated it with great ceremony.

Can the Lu family compare to the Yue family

Hehehe.

This question is just a joke.

Even if the Lu family cultivated for another hundred years, they wouldn't be able to catch up to the Yue family.

Especially since Yue Zitong became the head of the Yue family this year, he has brought in too many benefits for the Yue family.

Therefore, when Yue Qingke, the third-generation eldest grandson of the Yue family's direct lineage, came to the Duan family as Duan Xiang's fiancé, wouldn't the Duan family have been overjoyed and prepared a grand welcome

Regardless of whether he will be seen by Yue Zitong in the Yue family, he is the eldest grandson of the third generation of the Yue family.

This is what's called brand effect.

If Duan Xiang could really become the daughter-in-law of the Jinghua Yue family, even if Yue Zitou held absolute power in the Yue family, he wouldn't be able to stop Yue Qingke from finding a wife, right

And it's even more important not to hinder Yue Qingke and his wife from, under the banner of the Beijing Yue family, fighting for their rightful interests within their purview

From the perspective of the Duan clan in Dali, Yue Qingke's current predicament is actually the most advantageous for their family.

In the upper echelons of society, it's common knowledge that Yue Qingke and his son were trampled upon by Yue Zichong. They desperately need assistance to restore their former status.

Then, as the top family in China, Dali Duan's family should be Yue Qingke's biggest supporter.

As long as he could successfully marry Duan Xiang, the Dali Duan clan could, under the banner of helping their son-in-law, openly march north to offer assistance.

While helping Yue Qingke, following Duan Lao's cunning strategies, one could completely cultivate their own power in Jiangbei within the "潤物細無聲" (subtle and imperceptible) approach.

At that time, regardless of whether Yue Zitong was satisfied or not, the Jinghua Yue family would stand in the way for the Dali Duan clan's power to move north.

That's why Lao Duan would carefully consider and consult with Duan Erdai, Duan Chuhuang and others before making this momentous decision, welcoming Yue Qingke to Dali for a proposal — even hosting a grand wedding there.

Although Duan Ning might be considered too naive and far inferior to Duan Xiang, she also understood that this matter benefited the Duan clan of Dali greatly.

also at Lao Duan's meeting of core family members, without hesitation, raised his hand and voted in agreement.

But secretly, she harbored a strong resentment: "No matter what, we should wait for Li Nanzhang, my sister, and Lingxing to return before we busy ourselves with Duan Xiang's wedding. Is it too late"

Duan Ning, with her amiable and docile personality, was never one to be ruthless or decisive. It was destined that she would never achieve great things. She could be considered the most ordinary among the four phoenixes of the Duan family, lacking the ability to seize opportunities. This is why she failed to understand that at this juncture, a swift marriage alliance with the Jinghua Yue family was the only way to secure greater benefits for the Duan family.

While secretly resentful, she also looked down upon Wu's domineering manner.

I couldn't help but think back to a few days ago, when my aunt and her family strongly urged grandpa to punish Duan Xiangning as compensation for Duan Xiang's being hit hard. But just then, Xiangning brought back Li Nanfang, and the expressions on their faces were truly priceless.

"Oh, even if you don't care about your brother-in-law and Sister Xiangning who went to the peninsula risking their lives for the Duan family, Lingxing is your own biological daughter, isn't she Now that she hasn't made contact, how can you be so cheerful right now"

The more he looked at Feiyang, who seemed to have grown ten years younger, the more displeased Duan Xiang became. He couldn't help but purse his lips and look towards Emperor Duanchu instead.

Compared to a week ago, Duan Sheng Huang is truly mature now.

While most people in the house were excitedly preparing to welcome the future groom, he stood quietly at the entrance of the villa, his expression serene as he looked down the mountain. He seemed like an unshakeable mountain, giving Duan Ning a sense of inexplicable security that made her want to get closer to him.

As soon as she subconsciously took a step towards that direction, she saw a guard rush quickly to Emperor Duan's side and whisper something in his ear.

Duandushu Huang smiled and nodded before quickly walking down the mountain.

Originally, Yue Qingke's car stopped over a thousand meters away from the manor gate, and he walked here on foot to show his respect for the Duan family and Old Master Duan.

Since Yue Qingke was so polite, Duan Shuhuang, who welcomed him at the gate of the manor, naturally had to greet him quickly and walk up the mountain with him.

Actually, Duan Xiang should also have gone to greet him.

It was just that she couldn't walk well—the couple of Duan Lao Wu, who were incredibly surprised their daughter could marry Yue Qing Ke, truly wanted to disregard their status and go with Duan Chuo Huang to welcome the arrival of their son-in-law.

But no.

Indeed, even if it means losing face for the Dàlǐ Duàn family.

They can't go, Duan Xiang isn't convenient to go either, but Duan Ning should go.

Duan Ning is not only the third-generation core figure of the Duan family, but also the cousin of Duan Xiang. Going with her cousin Duan Chuhuang to greet her second sister's husband is absolutely the most suitable choice.

But she was not aware of this, still standing there with her neck craned, her innocent eyes wide, gazing far down the mountain.

Lao Wu's family was a bit bothered and immediately shouted loudly, "Du Ning, why are you still standing here foolishly Aren't you welcoming your sister-in-law"

Duan Ning was stunned. She immediately retorted, "Who's my brother-in-law My brother-in-law is Li, Ye Shen. I don't have any other brothers-in-law besides him."

"You, you... how can you speak like that"

Lao Wu's family refused, and Bai Jing's fair face immediately turned red. She glared angrily and scolded, "Don't you acknowledge that Duan Xiang is your sister"

She is, of course, my sister.

"But she hasn't married yet, where is her brother-in-law"

"Who said she is not married"

Old Fifth hadn't expected that Duan Ning, whom he could easily bully at home, would dare to talk back to him. He immediately glared and scolded her in a harsh voice: "You're not blind, are you Didn't you see that Young Master Yue is almost here"

"Of course my eyes aren't blind, I can see Young Master Yue is coming. But Fifth Aunt, you said it yourself, he's Young Master Yue, not Second Uncle from the Duan family."

Lao Wu's words, "You're not blind," spoken out of worry, completely angered Duan Ning. She retorted without hesitation, "So now I don't need to worry about calling him my brother-in-law. I can wait until he truly marries Duan Xiangjie before considering him family. Besides, I think Aunt Wu, you shouldn't only focus on Duan Xiangjie right now. You should also worry about the scattered individuals who are risking their lives outside for the Duan family."

Old Fifth’s family was surprised once again that Duan Ning dared to talk back again and again. Feeling ashamed and enraged, he gritted his teeth and said, “Ling Xing has long since sacrificed for the Duan family, so I — ”

Just as she said this, Duan Lao Wu, who was standing beside her, suddenly changed color. He reached out and grabbed her arm, whispering angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about"

"Where did I talk nonsense"

After being scolded by his wife, Lao Wu, as was his habit, glared. He was about to show off his power, but his face turned pale with fear. Realizing that he might have spoken wrongly, he immediately shut his mouth.

They absolutely must not be allowed to bring Duan Xiangning and Duan Lingxing back to life.

This was a decision made by Lao after much deliberation to ensure the overall interests of the Dali Duan clan.

When making this decision, Old Man Duan must have consulted with his family.

But it was just a discussion, not seeking their opinions.

Or, to be more blunt, issue them a notice and repeatedly argue from all angles how the sacrifice of the Duan Xiangning sisters on the peninsula would benefit the Duan family.

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. This is a well-known saying of truth.

Although the fifth son was unreasonable, he loved his two daughters dearly. He especially doted on his youngest daughter, who was innocent and full of potential.

So when she first heard Old Master Duan say he would sacrifice his youngest daughter on the peninsula, even though she knew that the old man's decision would never be changed, she still knelt down with her husband and begged Old Master Duan to take back his order.

Besides him, a family of three generations from the Duan clan also knelt down.

Because they knew very well that Duan Xiangning and Duan Xing sisters were sacrificed because of the trouble caused by Emperor Duan Chu.

If Duan Shurong and Shen Yun were not in love, why would the Dali Duan clan be pushed to the brink of ruin

Even though it turned out that the Duan family had not leaked top-secret military intelligence, Li Nanshan had already successfully obtained the notebook. However, in order to completely eliminate the negative impact the Duan family had caused by this incident, Old Duan had no choice but to make a drastic and painful decision.

All of this, is the fault of Duan Shu Huang.

Even though he had no say in the matter, he had to kneel down immediately.

Their pleas fell on deaf ears to Lao Duan.

His quivering lips, even though he tried to hide it, still betrayed the immense pain he was feeling.

This matter, Duan Xiang and Duan Ning sisters were unaware of.

But with Duan Xiang's intelligence, he could definitely glean something from his parents' expressions over the next few days.

Duan Ning is not Duan Xiang, so she didn't notice her parents' abnormality until now, and she has always hoped that her sisters and Li Nanfang will return safely.

Until the fifth sibling accidentally let it slip, she was stunned into silence. Then, with a gasp, she asked, "You... you what"

The fifth son didn't reply and was dragged away by the fifth son in a hurry.

Duan Ning was just a bit too naive, but she wasn't stupid. Even if her reaction was a little slow, she could still figure things out from the reactions of Fifth Aunt and her husband.

She looked at her parents.

Mr. and Mrs. Duan, whose daughter also died in the peninsula region, were certainly not in a good mood. They knew that now was definitely not the time to talk about this. Duan Lao Si only avoided his wife's inquiring eyes, sighed, and turned to quickly walk into the manor.

Duan Ning was about to chase after him, but he was stopped by Duan Xiang, who pushed a chair over.
