After hearing Xiao Mianmian's words, Ma Taoer suddenly felt a chill running down her spine and was startled.
But thinking about the prosperity and wealth of the Zhou family, she gritted her teeth and continued to follow Du Wanchun into the house.
Du Wanchun walked in front and said as he walked: "Miss Ma is really infatuated. She wants to marry our eldest young master even though the yin and yang are separated. It's really touching. If our eldest brother had any knowledge..."
As she spoke, she deliberately slowed down her voice and said faintly: "I will definitely come back to take a good look at this beloved man."
Ma Taoer was startled again when she heard this, and her steps slowed down significantly.
Du Wanchun continued walking forward, but when he saw that she didn't reply, he smiled and said: "Miss Ma, you will see her later, don't be afraid."
Ma Taoer took courage and gritted her teeth and said: "It's just a portrait, why should you be afraid." ?.?????.???
Du Wanchun turned back and looked forward, deliberately lowering his tone again and murmuring: "You may not know that there are rumors among the people about Yin marriage, look at the portrait, if the person in the portrait looks at you, it means that he likes you. I’m obsessed with you every day.”
These are just nonsense, just to scare Ma Taoer.
Ma Taoer's face turned pale and she stopped, "In that case, let's not look at the portrait and just get married."
Du Wanchun smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, Miss Ma. It's just a rumor. If you don't believe it, you'd better go and have a look. If you like her, then agree to the marriage. If you don't like her, it's still too late."
She had made her words very clear and gave Ma Taoer a chance to regret it.
Ma Tao'er was a tough one. She wanted to go to Zhou's house. After a long silence, she said to Du Wanchun, "Shopkeeper Du, just take me to see it."
Du Wanchun saw that she had to live and die here, so he smiled and took her to the backyard.
There is a side room in the backyard, which is usually empty and used to store some unused items.
Du Wanchun asked Lian'er to tidy up early this morning and hung a portrait inside.
The portrait was painted by Zhou Ruiyuan last night according to what Du Wanchun said.
As soon as Ma Taoer entered the room, she was stunned by the portrait on the wall.
The young man in the portrait looked like a talented person like Yushu Linfeng, but his face was a bit strange.
There was no smile on his face, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he looked resentful.
Especially those eyes, which were completely blank, with no black pupils painted on them.
This startled Ma Tao'er. She stared closely at those eyes that were all white, and stood there with a coldness all over her body.
"Miss Ma~Miss Ma~"
Du Wanchun called several times in succession.
Ma Taoer came back to her senses slightly, her voice trembling, "Shopkeeper Du... why is this portrait so strange?"
Du Wanchun looked at the portrait again and again, and said with a smile: "This portrait is not strange at all."
Ma Taoer pointed to the eyes in the portrait and said, "Look at those eyes, why are there no eyeballs?"
Du Wanchun leaned over to take a look, "Miss Ma, you are wrong, there is obviously one."
Ma Taoer's face instantly turned pale, and her fingers trembled slightly.
Du Wanchun held her trembling hand and said, "Miss Ma, you have also seen this portrait. Are you really willing to marry our dead 'eldest brother'?"
Ma Taoer's eyes were always fixed on the person in the portrait, her lips were trembling and she didn't speak.
Du Wanchun continued: "If you agree, I will tell my mother and let her prepare for the marriage."
Ma Taoer took back her hand, tried hard to look away, turned sideways and said, "Shopkeeper Du, please let me think about it again."
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "Okay, we are waiting for your news. If you don't want to, we won't force you."
Ma Taoer was trembling all over, and before Du Wanchun finished speaking, she turned around and left the Zhou family quickly.
She almost ran away.
Nan Fengling and Lian'er, who had been hiding in the house, came out and said with a smile: "This girl Ma is really timid. My sister-in-law scared her away with just a few words."
Lian'er took a broom and swept the place where Ma Tao'er walked by just now, "She is really shameless. She can even think of such things as Yin marriage. She wants to marry an official's wife. She is crazy and doesn't even look at it. How many kilograms do you have?"
After she said this, her face was full of disgust towards Ma Taoer.
Lian'er grew up in the palace and saw a lot of intrigues. She was especially disgusted with this kind of woman who was obsessed with clinging to her master's position.
Nan Fengling also agreed with her words.
Du Wanchun brought Xiao Mianmian over and asked her, "What did you just say to that aunt?"
Xiao Mianmian raised her little head and said with a smile: "I didn't say anything.
