Chapter 292 The Woman Xie Yuheng Admired

If I were a man, I wouldn't be restricted like I am now. I hate why I am a woman.

He cannot stand on his own and cannot shoulder the burden of the family.

Unable to take the imperial examination and become an official like his father, he could only live in fear all day long, pretending to be a playboy.

Shen Zhao listened to Pei Xiaosi's thoughts and fell into deep thought.

Pei Xiaosi is a woman.

She is also a woman with great ambitions for revenge.

Although she didn't know why Pei Xiaosi concealed his female identity and disguised himself as a man.

Then Xie Yuheng said indignantly:

"I'm so pissed off."

"Brother Chu, you don't know that those two guys can live a rich and prosperous life thanks to Pei Xiaosi's grandmother and his father."

Shen Zhao remained silent, perhaps to learn the reason from Yu Heng's mouth. Xie Yu Heng continued to speak indignantly.

"The Pei family's ancestors were not wealthy, and the family only had a small amount of money."

"Old Master Pei is a student of Tongsheng, and he will remain a student of Tongsheng throughout his life."

"The eldest son of the Pei family, who is still harbouring Pei Xiaosi, is not Madam Pei's biological son, nor is he Pei Yuanyi's biological elder brother."

She seemed to know why Pei Xiaosi dressed as a man.

Not sure, listen again!

"But it's the child of the late Master Pei's cousin."

Well, it’s confirmed!

Pei Yuanyi has only one child, Pei Xiaosi. If Pei Xiaosi was a girl, the Pei family's property would probably fall into the hands of outsiders in the future.

At this point, Xie Yuheng snorted coldly.

"Back then, that old bastard, Old Master Pei, was so obsessed with his illegitimate cousin that he refused to sleep with Old Madam Pei."

"For five whole years, Madam Pei has been burdened with the stigma of being infertile."

"Until the concubine gave birth to a son, Old Master Pei took the son back to the Pei family as an orphan."

"Let Madam Pei raise her under her knees."

At this point, Xie Yuheng became obviously even more angry.

"The turning point occurred when Pei Yuanyi became an official in the capital. The Pei family moved to Kyoto, and even the clan members moved with them."

"That indifferent old bastard of the Pei family couldn't sit still anymore. He brought his concubine cousin into the mansion and forced Madam Pei to acknowledge the concubine's identity and accompany them to the capital."

"Only when this matter broke out did Old Madam Pei realize that she had been manipulated by Old Master Pei and his mistress all these years."

Not to mention that Xie Yuheng was angry, even she, as an outsider, felt sorry for Madam Pei and wanted to beat up the old beast.

They were really good at planning, and they did it just before Pei Yuanyi entered the capital.

Catch everyone off guard.

Xie Yuheng's tone contained a hint of pity that he himself was not even aware of.

"In order not to delay Master Pei's return to the capital to resume his post, Madam Pei endured the utmost and accepted the concubine and brought her with her to the capital."

“It was Madam Pei’s compromise that allowed those beasts to become even more unscrupulous.

As Pei Yuanyi's official position grew, Old Master Pei and his mistress became more and more arrogant and disregarded Old Madam Pei, forcing her to agree to make the mistress his equal wife.

"They also forced Madam Pei to agree to return Boss Pei, whom she had raised for over thirty years, to her illegitimate cousin."

Chen Zhao saw a hint of anger in Xie Yuheng's eyes, and his gaze fell back on Pei Xiaosi, who was dressed as a man but was still so bright and beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off her.

In addition, ever since Lord Pei got into trouble, Yu Heng's mind and eyes have been full of Pei Xiaosi.

This can only mean one thing, Xie Yuheng fell in love with Pei Xiaosi without knowing it.

Suddenly, Shen Zhao thought of Li Yuwan who came from another world, and silently shed a tear of sympathy for her.

A lover sent from heaven is no match for one born and raised there, especially when meeting Xie Yuheng, who doesn't understand the relationship between men and women and mistakes love for brotherhood.

Xie Yuheng's suddenly raised voice brought Shen Zhao back from his drifting thoughts.

"That old beast, his mistress, and the Pei family's eldest wife were causing too much trouble. He even said that if Madam Pei didn't respond, he would go to Pei Yuanyi's government office and cause trouble."

"Then we will disgrace Pei Yuanyi and make him lose his foothold in Kyoto and become a laughing stock among his colleagues."

"For Master Pei's sake, Madam Pei swallowed her anger and didn't bother with those beasts. She promoted her illegitimate cousin to a co-wife and married Master Pei back to the illegitimate cousin."

Hearing this, Shen Zhao's eyes lit up. If Xie Yuheng really liked Pei Xiaosi, he could take this opportunity to eliminate pests for the Pei family.

By then, even if Yu Heng marries Pei Xiaosi, he won’t have any troublesome relatives.

"So, now the Pei family's main house is not under Madam Pei's name?"

Xie Yuheng listened to Brother Chu's inexplicable question and replied, "No, but later on, the old beast and the concubine wanted to make Madam Pei recognize Boss Pei.

They still used Lord Pei as a threat. Old Madam Pei had been exhausted over the years. Under their repeated pressure, she fell ill instantly.

He left with hatred before a month had passed. It was impossible for Boss Pei to return to the name of Old Madam Pei.

Because Mrs. Pei left a will that she would never recognize the son who abandoned his mother.

That old beast committed so many evil things that he died of a serious illness less than half a year after Madam Pei passed away.

What’s hateful is that the concubine is still alive and well, and relies on her status as an elder to often bully Pei Xiaosi’s mother, Madam Pei.

Lord Pei is good in every way except that he is too foolishly filial and too concerned with blood ties. He is filial to both those who should be filial and those who shouldn't be filial, and he cares about all those who are related to him by blood.

Pei Xiaosi suffered a lot because of this.

"Brother Chu, why are you asking this? Think of a way quickly. While Lord Pei is imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, quickly get rid of these blood-sucking insects for Pei Xiaosi."

This Lord Pei is really similar to Chu Mu!

"They can still live in luxury, wearing gold and silver jewelry and being served by maids and servants, all thanks to Pei Xiaosi's father. Now that Master Pei has been stigmatized, not only do they not try to save Master Pei, they are now taking advantage of his misfortune and mocking him."

He became more and more angry as he spoke, until finally, Xie Yuheng couldn't help but blurt out a swear word.

"What a bunch of brainless idiots! Don't they know the principle of sharing weal and woe? If Lord Pei is really punished, do they think they can get away with it?"

They could not escape. According to Li Yuwan's thoughts, not only them, but even the members of the Pei family could not escape. They were all convicted and beheaded.

"The old lady is here..."

Following the high-pitched singing of a woman, Shen Zhao and Xie Yuheng both looked towards the source of the sound.

An old woman with a hair full of colorful hairpins and a rose-red long dress with wide sleeves appeared in front of the two of them.

With her white hair and wrinkled face, it is so incongruous.

Xie Yuheng snorted.

"She's sixty-seven years old. Brother Chu, do you think she has any sense of shame? She's an old witch who doesn't respect her age."

Old Madam Pei walked with the wind. She came up to Madam Pei and slapped her in the face.

"Snap"

"Rong, look at the kind of person you've brought up. I heard this little beast talking back to her uncle and aunt from afar. This is the rule of your Rong family!

Why don't you let this little bastard kneel down and apologize to her uncle and aunt? And you, why are you crying like that? I'm not dead yet, are you cursing me to death? "

Xie Yuheng could no longer sit still upon hearing the sound, and suddenly jumped down from the high wall.
