Anyone with a normal hearing would clearly sense that something was wrong!

For example, the onlookers looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.

"Gu Huaiwu? That name sounds familiar, like he's a big shot..."

"Shh, his name is the same as the eldest son of the Gu family, one of the five great families, and the Gu siblings also share the surname Gu. Considering what Shen Chunman just said about Gu Peichuan being the Crown Prince, you should carefully consider the deeper meaning behind this!"

"My goodness, Old Master Gu's grandson really is a prince! The Pei family is doomed. In order to please the Du family, they have offended a real benefactor. I bet they will regret it to death!"

"I knew the Gu family was something special. Turns out they've been planning something big. But judging from the reactions of the Du and Pei families, they don't seem to believe it!"

"Whether they believe it or not, we believe it anyway. Pei Danfeng's in-laws are not innocent. Who told her husband to try to capture the younger sister of the Gu family princess? That's the Fu family siblings' big backer!"

"..."

Pei Tai and Pei Zexing were stunned for a moment, then realized how outrageous it was.

Zhao Baiping thought Gu Peichuan's words were clumsy. At least a lie would be believable; a normal person could tell it was just bragging.

Pei Danfeng's reaction was completely opposite to that of her parents and brothers. Especially when she saw Shi Zhenxiang's furrowed brows and incredulous expression, she belatedly realized that the Pei family seemed to have offended someone they shouldn't have.

Just now, Fu Jingchen said that he comes from one of the top five families and is irreconcilably opposed to the bottom five families.

In fact, the Gu siblings belonged to the Upper Five Families, while Fu Jingchen became the son-in-law of the Upper Five Families.

She had heard of Gu Huaiwu's name; it was the same name as the eldest son of the head of the five great families.

If what Gu Peichuan said is true, then... the background of the Gu siblings is terrifying!

So it was no accident that her husband's family would fall; it was inevitable. Because she and the Pei family had bullied Fu Wanning, her husband wanted to arrest Fu Wanning and put her in jail. Gu Wanwan eliminated the Xie family to avenge her sister-in-law.

Perhaps startled, her previously chaotic mind suddenly cleared up. She suddenly remembered what her friends in the Beijing circle had mentioned: the Jian family's property had been confiscated and they had been sent to the countryside. It was said that Gu Jia's daughter and her boyfriend were behind it. In order to seek justice for the Gu couple, her friends in the circle said, "Don't mess with Gu Jia's princess."

It is said that Princess Gu has made outstanding achievements and is very familiar with special departments, which is why even Zhao Lao, one of the five lower-class families, could not rescue his own daughter and son-in-law despite his efforts.

Just as she guessed, in ancient times, Gu Wanwan would be the princess of the Gu family, and Fu Jingchen would be the prince consort who gained status through his wife!

This is dozens of levels below being the son-in-law of the Du family. No wonder Fu Jingchen looks down on the Du family. And the Pei family has made a huge mess of things by trying to snatch their grandson-in-law from Old Master Gu. Isn't that courting death?

Now that the Xie family has fallen, it's time for the Du family, or perhaps the Pei family, to follow...
