Daily life of the mistress

Chapter 184 Breaking off the relationship as soon as possible

When Du Ruo heard Cheng Yunshuo's caring words, she couldn't help but feel sad, and she told Cheng Yunshuo about her useless brother who owed gambling debts and implicated her.
    "My brother has been addicted to gambling recently and owes a lot of money. He asked me to borrow money several times, but every time he said he didn't want to gamble anymore. Today, the people from the gambling house came to the Marquis' Mansion to collect the debt, and he owes a lot of debt again!"

    Du Ruo treats Cheng Yunshuo as her own husband and she can completely trust him.

    She didn't think of hiding anything and told him all the terrible things that happened in her mother's family.

    "I'm really going to die of anger. Last time my eldest brother came over and asked me to borrow 100 taels, I said I would watch him and never let him gamble again. Today he asked for 300 taels again. They emptied my dowry. How could they do this!"

    Du Ruo looked extremely depressed and sad, then she heard Cheng Yunshuo speak.

    "Gamblers are all like this, full of lies. Can you believe a word they say? They are one way when they want money and another way when they have money. They are as disgusting as flies in a cesspool!"

    Cheng Yunshuo's words made the chattering Du Ruo pause. She looked up in disbelief and looked at Cheng Yunshuo who said this.

    "I've said before that they are not doing their jobs properly. It's not surprising that they are addicted to gambling now," Cheng Yunshuo sat by himself, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and said with disgust, "You should break off your relationship with your two brothers as soon as possible, so as to avoid being entangled by these gamblers and bringing shame to our mansion in the future!"

    "Cheng Yunshuo!"

    Du Ruo screamed.

    "What are you doing?" Cheng Yunshuo raised his eyebrows with a strange look on his face.

    "How can you say that about my brother? He's my real brother!"

    "Oh!" Cheng Yunshuo snorted coldly, "My dear brother, the one who asked you for money to pay off your gambling debts?"

    "That was my dowry money. I didn't use any money from the Marquis' Mansion! I didn't use a single cent of yours!"

    Cheng Yunshuo looked at her strangely, "Did I say you used the money from the Marquis' Mansion?"

    "Cheng Yunshuo, how can you be such a person!" Du Ruo felt extremely aggrieved in his heart in an instant.

    She didn't spend a penny of his money!

    Why does he despise her!

    Why scold her brother?

    "What kind of person am I?" Cheng Yunshuo was puzzled. He just talked about the matter and asked which word he said was wrong.

    "No matter how bad my brothers are, they are still my brothers. How can you say that about them!"

    "Oh!" Cheng Yunshuo tilted his head and took a sip of tea. "You're the one who told me that!"

    For a moment, Du Ruo felt as if he had drawn a bow and shot an arrow into his heart.

    At the beginning, she opened her heart to Cheng Yunshuo about her family affairs, treating him as someone who was of the same mind as her, someone she could trust without reservation and rely on unconditionally. She wanted to get comfort and even a little help from Cheng Yunshuo.

    He could scold them, but he should also stand on the same side as her, criticize them for their poor performance, and help her persuade her brothers.
