With her spatial ability to raise beast husbands, the wicked female becomes the darling of the group

Chapter 252 Doubt

Although Dong Baishang doesn't like Duan Tingxuan much now, in her heart, Duan Tingxuan is still her beastly husband. Even if she neglects and insults him, the person Duan Tingxuan thinks about should still be her.

So she gritted her teeth and reminded Duan Tingxuan.

Duan Tingxuan's eyelids twitched slightly, concealing the shadows under his eyes, and he said nothing more.

Seeing Duan Tingxuan's attitude, Dong Baishang was furious. "Who are you trying to fool with your coldness? I'm talking to you, did you hear me?"

Dong Baishang spoke in a low voice, with members of the Duan family present. She didn't dare to treat Duan Tingxuan like that at home, so she kept her voice low, but her face was contorted.

If Qingfeng were here, he would definitely be gentle and considerate, and would even pour her tea and feed her.

Unfortunately, Qingfeng's status was lowly.

She needed the Duan family's status and power for help, and she also needed Duan Tingxuan's dowry.

Duan Tingxuan didn't even glance at Dong Baishang, nor did he answer anything. To him, it was as if Dong Baishang was just air.

Dong Baishang may have forgotten that when Duan Tingxuan first married into the Dong family, he always put her first, personally washing his hands and cooking for her, taking care of her in every way.

However, Dong Baishang was only pretending to be affectionate towards Duan Tingxuan. Over time, her true nature was exposed, and with the revelation of Qingfeng's existence, she deliberately neglected Duan Tingxuan. After Duan Tingxuan's heart turned cold, he became the indifferent person he is now.

"Duan Tingxuan, speak to me."

"Duan Tingxuan, do you think I wouldn't dare to do anything to you?"

"Let me tell you, I dare to do it. Anyway, you'll be the one who loses face."

After Dong Baishang finished speaking, Duan Tingxuan did not react at all. She could only grit her teeth and say hatefully, "Duan Tingxuan, you may not care, but don't forget that Su Muyao and her beastly husbands are still at the palace banquet."

"You don't care about face, but your Duan family certainly does, right?"

Duan Tingxuan turned to look at Dong Baishang, and seeing her twisted and malicious expression, he felt a bitter and dull pain in his heart.

This was the woman he once trusted and wanted to treat with all his heart; for her sake, he married her against his family's wishes.

For her sake, he forcibly terminated his contract with Su Muyao back then, and he felt he would never regret it.

At the time, he thought Dong Baishang was so beautiful and kind, and she even said that she would only marry him as her beast husband and there would be no one else.

She would always buy him all sorts of things to coax him.

He later learned that it was all an act, and that the things were all bought by her servants.

Now, his heart was cold and numb. He didn't even want to be angry with her. He just said indifferently, "What exactly do you want?"

Seeing Duan Tingxuan speak, Dong Baishang knew he was concerned about the current situation, so she took the opportunity to threaten him: "Hand over your dowry, and give me the shops and estates that the Duan family gave you to manage."

"you……"

Duan Tingxuan suddenly smiled; so that was what she was planning.

"Those shops and estates are not under my name; the Duan family took them back."

He still remembers how his parents strongly opposed his marriage to Dong Baishang, but they couldn't persuade him otherwise and had to agree. However, they made some precautions with the dowry they gave him. He didn't know this at first, but later, when the matter between Dong Baishang and Qingfeng became a big deal, his parents took back the estate and shops.

It wasn't registered in his name to begin with.

Dong Baishang gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, very fine."

She'll definitely get her revenge later and make them all look bad.

……

The head of the Yan family had been observing everything at the palace banquet, and naturally he could see how good the relationship was between Su Muyao and her beast husbands. The intimate and harmonious feeling surprised him.

Would a female be so indulgent and gentle towards her beast mate?
Looking at Duan Tingxuan and Dong Baishang, the Yan family head's expression was not good. No matter what, he would not allow Yan Zhaoye to marry down. He would not even think about marrying Liu Mengyan.

The Duan family head and his entourage were also at the palace banquet. Given the Duan family's status, they were seated at the front of the banquet hall. The Dong family, being of lower status, could only sit with Dong Baishang on the outer edge of the banquet hall, near the main entrance. The Duan family head and his group couldn't help but look at Duan Tingxuan, their expressions filled with worry.

Duan Tingxuan's younger brother, Duan Tingshu, gritted his teeth and said, "I wonder how that Dong Baishang is threatening my brother again."

"If my brother hadn't broken off the contract with the Su family back then, he'd probably be in the same situation as Young Master Xiao and the others now."

Looking at the smiles on their faces, you can tell they are doing well.

"Father, Mother, I see that my elder brother has become much more haggard and his complexion is not good. Everyone is laughing at him. Can't you let my elder brother leave the Dong family?"

Father Duan sighed and said, "It's not that easy. People are harsh on males. He forcibly left the Su family before. If he breaks off his relationship with the Dong family, no one will care what the female did. They will only think it's the male's fault. If it happens again, how will the other males in the Duan family get married? So Tingshu, you must listen to your parents and keep your eyes open. You can't marry down."

“Your elder brother could have inherited the family business, but he gave it up for Dong Baishang. Now that the Duan family is in your hands, you must take on the responsibility.”

Duan Tingshu lowered his head and said, "I know."

He could have done whatever he wanted, but now his family has filled his schedule with assignments, all of which he has to learn.

……

Just then, when almost everyone had arrived, Jiang Mochuan and Liu Mengyan leisurely arrived.

Liu Mengyan was still wearing a white ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), her black hair was styled into a delicate bun, adorned with a jade hairpin, her eyes were like water, her eyebrows were slender and long, and her eyes were full of shimmering autumn waves. Her appearance was elegant and graceful, her figure was graceful and delicate, and she looked as fragile as a willow, making her look pitiful.

In the past, whenever Liu Mengyan appeared, she was usually dressed simply like this, and everyone thought she was pure and beautiful.

Having just been amazed by Su Muyao, everyone found her somewhat bland when they looked at her again, for some reason.

Suddenly, everyone felt that only such a bright and beautiful appearance could truly amaze people.

Especially since most of the females at this palace banquet are dressed like this, everyone is getting tired of the look.

He glanced away and involuntarily looked towards Su Muyao.

"Don't you guys think Su Muyao is prettier?"

“Yes, when Su Muyao wasn’t around, we thought Liu Mengyan was so beautiful, but now we realize that Liu Mengyan’s looks can’t compare to Su Muyao’s.”

"Look at Jiang Mochuan, the heir of the Jiang family, such a noble person, yet he's now two steps behind Liu Mengyan. I don't know what he's thinking."

Some sober females and males felt uncomfortable seeing Jiang Mochuan like this, as if the noble and unapproachable male in their hearts had suddenly been lowered to the dust.

"Jiang Mochuan doesn't look well, and his energy seems off."

"That's right, Jiang Mochuan and Liu Mengyan were both wearing white, and they looked like they weren't feeling well."

"Perhaps it was because of Su Muyao's words."

Jiang Mochuan didn't know why, but ever since he got married, he had been lacking in energy. When he cultivated, he could hardly gather spiritual energy, and his spiritual energy would even leak out.

This made Jiang Mochuan very uneasy.

He suspected that Su Muyao had done something wrong that day, but when he consulted a doctor, the doctor said that he had no physical problems and that he was probably just overthinking things.

Liu Mengyan deliberately timed her arrival to create a stunning effect on everyone, but to her surprise, everyone only glanced at her before turning their heads away.

How could this be? It's completely different from what she expected.

……

Su Muyao had been observing them carefully since they appeared.

Shen Ci'an said in a low voice, "My lady, I've noticed that Liu Mengyan looks quite well, and she has even managed to condense a bit of supernatural power, but Jiang Mochuan's strength seems to have regressed."

Shen Ci'an possesses level ten strength, enabling him to see things that others cannot.
