"Dad, Mom, why did my second uncle and second aunt all leave?" Pei Mingxia's voice came before she arrived.

Soon, the family came in.

"Dad, Mom, what are you doing..." Pei Mingxia hesitated. The family was standing or sitting, no one was talking, and they even drove away all the relatives. What was going on?

She walked into the living room and saw Shen Yimei was there too. She passed by Lu Nong and Pei Ji'an, happily sat down next to Shen Yimei and said, "Sister Yimei, you're here too? Stay for dinner later. The food my sister-in-law cooked today is much better than what my mother cooks."

When she arrived at her parents' home, Pei Mingxia immediately had an attitude of turning the tables and becoming the master. Not to mention her step-sister-in-law Lu Nong, she didn't even pay attention to her second brother Pei Ji'an and eldest sister-in-law Feng Xiaoyuan. She implied that her eldest sister-in-law was the one who cooked for her.

Feng Xiaoyuan was speechless when she saw Pei Mingxia's clueless look. The Pei family had three children. The eldest and second oldest were both successful, but the third child, Pei Mingxia, was the youngest daughter and was spoiled by her father and mother. She was not only willful and selfish, but also didn't even know how to read a word.

Feng Xiaoyuan is now thankful that her parents don't like her, and also don't like the daughter she gave birth to. Otherwise, Xiao Su would have been raised by them and spoiled into a devilish person like Pei Mingxia, and she would have had no place to cry.

Pei Mingxia's husband Song Yeju knew what was going on. He coughed lightly and said to Pei Mingxia, "Mingxia, let's go upstairs and coax Qianqian to sleep. You see, Qianqian is already sleepy."

But Pei Mingxia's brain was really full of holes. Not only did she fail to hear her husband's hint, she even added fuel to the fire: "If you want to go up, go up first. I have something to say to Sister Yi Mei. It's said that people from the same family stick together. Sister Yi Mei and I get along well. In this life, I will only regard Sister Yi Mei as my sister-in-law..."

Song Yeju: “…” Are you a fucking shit stirrer?

Song Yeju really had a thousand curse words stuck in his heart that he couldn't utter. Fortunately, his parents, brothers and sisters were not in Beijing. It was hard to imagine what would happen to the family if his family was closer, with Pei Mingxia's personality.

"Some people should stop dreaming, thinking that they can really become a wife just by marrying into a rich family. My brother has been waiting for Sister Yimei for so many years, you know why he married you..." Pei Mingxia was still chattering.

Before Lu Nong could say anything, Pei Mingxia was stopped by an angry shout. Pei's mother and Shen Yimei were also startled.

“That’s enough!”

The wrinkles on Pei's father's forehead were deeply wrinkled. When he saw Shen Yimei sitting on the sofa and heard the second son and his wife whispering upstairs just now, he finally understood what had happened and felt ashamed and embarrassed.

Who should be blamed for this? Should we blame Yimei Xiaoshun for sending them some supplements during the Mid-Autumn Festival?

Or was it Pei Ji'an's fault for bringing his new wife? It was the old couple who personally called and asked him to come and meet the family relatives.

But Pei Mingxia's words touched the heart of the listeners. Pei's mother's expression changed when she heard it. Could it be that there was something behind Ji An's marrying a new wife?

Doesn't he really want to marry someone new?

Shen Yimei's face turned terribly pale after she saw Pei Jinan holding Lu Nong's hand. Until she heard Pei Mingxia's words, it was like a serious criminal being given a reprieve before his death, allowing him to live for the time being.

He looked at Pei Jinan with a look of grievance, fear and expectation.

For so many years, she relied on Pei Mingxia to constantly remind and tell her that Pei Jianan had not married because of her, that Pei Jianan loved her, he just didn't forgive her, and that one day she would be able to wait for Pei Jianan's forgiveness, and they would be together again.

If she was just using it to numb herself at first, after listening to it for more than ten years, she would have believed it without a doubt.

Even Song Yeju's face showed hesitation. Pei Mingxia had brainwashed herself, Shen Yimei and her family with the saying that "Pei Jinan is waiting for Shen Yimei" for more than ten years. After marrying Song Yeju, she brainwashed Song Yeju again, causing Song Yeju to begin to half-believe and half-doubt.

Probably the only people in the room who completely believed in Pei Jinan were Lu Nong, Feng Xiaoyuan and Pei Su.

Pei Ji'an scanned everyone's expressions one by one and revealed a very strange expression, a mixture of disgust, absurdity, ridiculousness and indifference, "I have waited for Shen Yimei for so many years... How come I didn't know it myself?"

If it weren't for today, he wouldn't have known that Shen Yimei still had such thoughts.

In the first few years after his divorce from Shen Yimei, Pei Ji'an's parents and the Shen family had always wanted him to remarry Shen Yimei, and even used their future to pressure him, just like they had used Shen Yimei's innocence and his future to force him to marry Shen Yimei.

After Pei Ji'an sneered, he made it clear that he would never marry Shen Yimei in his lifetime, and told her that anyone who wanted to threaten him could do so, and then he went to the battlefield.

After risking his life several times on the battlefield, as Pei Jian's military rank and position rose higher in recent years, the Pei family and the Shen family no longer threatened him to marry Shen Yimei.

He thought that was the end of it, and he did live a clean life for a few years.

Who would have known that in recent years they had taken a more conciliatory approach, and as if the two families had agreed upon it, they still addressed each other as in-laws, hinting to others that Shen Yimei was still Pei's daughter-in-law, and that Pei's second son and Shen's eldest daughter were a couple. Pei Jinan only found out about this afterwards.

Pei Ji'an is busy with work and seldom goes back to visit his parents in a year, but he always runs into Shen Yimei every time he comes back. After so many times, he guessed what his parents are planning.

Pei Ji'an found it absurd and ridiculous and gave up communicating with the Pei and Shen family, which made them think that his attitude had softened.

Perhaps thinking that the time was right, at the beginning of this year Pei's father directly asked Pei Ji'an when he would marry Shen Yimei.

Pei Ji'an was also very direct. He refused without any hesitation and immediately agreed to Gu Weiguo's last words and married Lu Nong.

The reason why Pei Jinan married Lu Nong was because he was entrusted by Gu Weiguo to protect Lu Nong and make her worry-free in this life. At the same time, it was mutually beneficial and Pei Jinan would be free from harassment from then on.

Since both the Pei and Shen families want him to get married, then he should get married and completely cut off the Pei and Shen families' thoughts.

He didn't expect that someone had secretly arranged a "romantic drama" for him, and was so confident about it. This was the second time Pei Mingxia said this in front of him without changing her expression. She couldn't fool herself while fooling others, right?

Pei Mingxia was shocked, "Second brother, what are you talking about? Have you forgotten about Sister Yi Mei now that you have your little fairy? She has been waiting for you for more than ten years, you can't do this to her!"

"Don't think I don't know. This little devil is Gu Weiguo's ex-wife. You married her because Gu Weiguo entrusted you with his care before his death. If not, you would never have been with her."

Pei Mingxia was like a mechanical warehouse, constantly outputting her ideas and making convincing arguments.

After hearing this, Lu Nong, who had been silent, felt genuine sympathy for Pei Jinan. No wonder Pei Jinan was too lazy to talk to Pei Mingxia. This guy just couldn't understand what people said.

Pei Ji'an had clearly stated that he didn't want to remarry Shen Yimei at all, but Pei Mingxia was still immersed in her own theories, as if she was obsessed with supporting a couple and didn't believe the truth told by others, but only believed the "truth" in her own imagination.

It is conceivable that if this kind of entanglement happens too many times, the parties involved will just feel numb and bored.

Pei Jinan calmed down at this time. He was extremely calm and patient. He answered all of Pei Mingxia's questions and got what she asked.

"I have said this many times. I will not remarry Shen Yimei and I have never developed any feelings for her."

"My marriage to Lu Nong was approved by the organization. No matter what the reason, I will spend the rest of my life with her. You have to call her sister-in-law."

The words "never developed any feelings" were too destructive. Not only did they deny Pei Mingxia's statement that Pei Jianan was waiting for Shen Yimei, they also completely denied the short marriage between Pei Jianan and Shen Yimei.

Shen Yimei's years of painstaking waiting almost became a joke.

"no!!"

Shen Yimei, who had always been elegant, finally exploded. She questioned and accused Pei Ji'an with tears in her eyes, as if Pei Ji'an was a scumbag who abandoned her: "I love you so much, why can't you see it? Can someone love you the same way for more than ten years? Can the woman next to you do it?"

She was jealous, jealous to the point of going crazy.

The lies Pei Mingxia told over the years were lies after all. How could Shen Yimei, the person who made the mistake, not know Pei Jian's true attitude towards her?

But Pei Mingxia's words and the fact that Pei Jianan never got married gave Shen Yimei a reason to dream. She thought that as long as she stayed quietly by Pei Jianan's side, did not fight or compete with him, was filial to his parents, and cared for his brothers and sisters and family, he would see her efforts.

Their marriage started so badly and ended so shortly, not enough for Pei Ji'an to fall in love with Shen Yimei. There was plenty of time after the divorce, if one year didn't work, then two years, if two years didn't work, then three years, if three years didn't work, then ten years.

One day Pei Jian will be moved by her dedication and persistence, he will forgive himself and truly fall in love with her.

"Why... can't you look at me." Shen Yimei choked and tears kept flowing. Her crying broke Pei's mother and Pei Mingxia's hearts. Even Song Yeju and sister-in-law Feng Xiaoyuan couldn't bear to see it.

Sometimes people are always moved by some deep feelings.

Pei Ji'an almost laughed out of anger. So their divorce more than a decade ago only meant something to him?

"Yimei! Are you okay?"

With a scream, two strange old men and Shen Yiming's family of three appeared at the door of Pei's house. They also heard what Pei Ji'an and Shen Yimei had just said.

"My dear daughter, stop crying. Your crying breaks your heart." Shen's mother quickly stepped forward and hugged Shen Yimei. "It's Pei Ji'an who is unlucky. It's the Pei family who is unlucky. Let's go. From now on, our Shen family and their Pei family will have no ties."

Pei's mother was anxious. She and Shen's mother were old comrades-in-arms for many years. Shen's father once saved Pei's father's life. How could the relationship between the two families be severed so easily?

She stepped forward and tried to hold Shen's mother's hand, "My dear, don't be angry..."

"Who are your relatives?" Mother Shen pushed Mother Pei away. "Your son and my daughter have already divorced. Even if our Shen family is not good enough, we will not let our daughter stoop to cling to a married man."

"Besides, they all said that they never had any feelings for Yimei," Shen's mother sneered, "Did Pei Zheng grow out of the ground? Were we the ones who forced him to destroy my daughter's innocence? He said he would take responsibility, but what happened? He insisted on getting a divorce after only three years. Is this your responsibility, Pei Ji'an? Is this your Pei family's responsibility?"

Shen's mother was also too much. She was completely at odds with him and didn't intend to save face for Pei Ji'an at all.

Lu Nong was surprised and subconsciously looked up at Pei Ji'an, while Pei Ji'an subconsciously held Lu Nong's hand tightly.

"Pei Ji'an!" Shen Yiming intentionally or unintentionally shifted everyone's attention from the topic mentioned by Shen's mother to himself. He gritted his teeth and glared at Pei Ji'an, "Do you still have a heart? My sister loves you so much, but you are unwilling to tell a lie that you loved her and were moved by her. Is your heart made of iron?"

Pei's mother also spoke at the right time, "Ji'an, what you said is too hurtful. Hurry up and apologize to your aunt Shen and Yimei."

Everyone looked at Pei Ji'an with condemnation, as if Pei Ji'an did not love Shen Yimei and was a heinous crime to betray Shen Yimei's deep affection.

They wanted to see Pei Ji'an repent and suffer.

Lu Nong gently shook Pei Ji'an's hand back. In fact, she sometimes didn't quite understand the values ​​of people in this era. Why do you have to repay someone who is affectionate to you?

"Shen Yimei and Pei Ji'an have divorced. No matter how much Shen Yimei loves Pei Ji'an, what does it have to do with Pei Ji'an? If many people love Pei Ji'an madly now, does Pei Ji'an want to marry all of them?"

Lu Nong looked back at the eyes of the people present one by one, and finally made a final decision, "This is called moral kidnapping."

The people present listened thoughtfully. Song Yeju looked at Lu Nong in surprise, and once again looked at his brother-in-law's new wife with new eyes.

Lu Nong mainly wanted to hear Pei Ji'an explain about what Shen's mother said about Pei Ji'an destroying Shen Yimei's innocence. According to her current impression of the Pei and Shen families, she had to suspect that there was something inside.

Pei Ji'an was unusually calm, and became interested in Shen's mother's question. He said to her quietly, "I am responsible for Shen Yimei's innocence."

Pei Ji'an's eyes were like a lamp that penetrated the mist, piercing straight into Shen Yiming's eyes, "As for how Pei Zheng came here, aren't you two siblings very clear about it?"

Shen Yiming's pupils shrank, and Shen Yimei became obviously nervous.

"I also want to know why Shen Yimei appeared in your room after you invited me to drink and got me drunk. The next morning, I became the one who ruined Shen Yimei's innocence."

"Someone drugged me."

Pei Ji'an sneered. He was weak at that time, and his parents and siblings did not treat him as well as Shen Yimei, an outsider. Pei Ji'an did not believe that they did not doubt why Shen Yimei appeared in Shen Yiming's room, but no one cared about his explanation.

In the end, everyone felt that Shen Yimei was the one who suffered.

So many years have passed, and he did not mention it not to save face for Shen Yimei and Shen Yiming, but he hated it, hated himself and hated Shen Yiming, the so-called good brother, who stabbed him when he was least prepared.

He did not mention it afterwards because of Pei Zheng. He did not want Pei Zheng to know that his birth was full of schemes and shame.

Not getting married for many years was purely out of hatred, there was no other reason.

The room was silent for a while. The Pei family was so shocked that they couldn't speak, and everyone in the Shen family except Shen's mother was not surprised.

Pei Mingxia felt dizzy. Shen Yimei had always told her that she and her brother loved each other, so she told her parents the same thing after the incident.

She believed it for so many years, and now she was told that everything was a lie, and it was all a scam from the beginning.

Yes, her brother said that he didn't like Shen Yimei, but she felt that her brother didn't want to be responsible for Shen Yimei.

Shen Yiming's face was ugly. It was an old story many years ago. Everyone knew the truth. It didn't matter whether it was revealed or not. But it was a scar on Shen Yiming's heart. When he woke up in the middle of the night, he often thought that if he hadn't done this thing, he and Pei Ji'an would still be brothers who trusted each other with life and death.

His sister wouldn't be so crazy now.

It was all his fault. He was young and impetuous. He didn't know that he had to pay a price for doing some wrong things. He would have to pay the price for his sister's misfortune in his life - taking care of her for a lifetime.

Shen Yimei finally stopped sobbing. She was desperate and scared. It turned out that he had never forgotten it. It turned out that he hated himself from beginning to end.

In a trance, Shen Yimei's eyes flashed with scenes from many years ago. When she first met Pei Ji'an, he stood under a white plum tree. He was handsome and cold, and kept people away from him. Shen Yimei fell in love with him at first sight.

Later she knew that this man was a comrade-in-arms who studied in the military academy with her brother. Every time her brother came home, he would mention him, saying that he was very strong, how he was popular with girls, and that he never looked at any girl more than once.

Pei Ji'an was a person who was easy to fall in love with, and Shen Yimei was no exception. She always looked for opportunities to get along with him and begged her brother to invite friends home for gatherings, just to see Pei Ji'an more.

What made Shen Yimei happy was that it turned out that Pei Ji'an was the child of Uncle Pei and Aunt Pei. The reason why they had never met was because he had been fostered in a fellow villager's home until he was admitted to the military academy last year.

In other words, if Pei Ji'an grew up with Uncle Pei and Aunt Pei, then she and Pei Ji'an would be childhood sweethearts, and Shen Yimei was very happy about this fate.

A few years passed like this, and both the Shen family and the Pei family saw that Shen Yimei liked Pei Ji'an, and the two families tacitly agreed that they would get married in the future. After Shen Yimei got an accurate reply from her mother, she couldn't restrain her love and confessed to Pei Ji'an on impulse. Pei Ji'an rejected her and told her that he would not accept the family's arrangement to marry her.

Shen Yimei's love seemed to be destined to end from this moment, and everything just started from this time.

She was like a demon who had to have Pei Ji'an, and finally did something that got Pei Ji'an but also lost Pei Ji'an forever.

Together with his brother, he plotted against Pei Ji'an. Just as Pei Ji'an said, he took advantage of his trust in his brother and got him drunk. His brother knew Pei Ji'an's character. If he didn't do it absolutely, Pei Ji'an would never give in.

Two months later, Shen Yimei became pregnant, and she married Pei Ji'an as she wished.

But life after marriage was not easy. Whether before or after giving birth to Pei Zheng, Pei Ji'an never touched her again.

What Shen Yimei couldn't stand was the look in Pei Ji'an's eyes when he looked at her. It was a look that looked into her soul, calmly examining her filth, and seeing through her whole person.

No one likes to be seen through, no one likes to be examined, everything is terrible.

Sometimes she felt that Pei Ji'an knew that she loved her, but he was indifferent to her love. She wanted to shout and question, but she dared not, because she was the one who did something wrong, so she could only keep everything in her heart.

Pei Ji'an asked to be transferred out of Beijing just after Pei Zheng was born. He would rather fight on the battlefield than stay with her. This was the marriage that Shen Yimei had painstakingly designed.

Shen Yimei regretted it. She was originally a young lady who had never touched the water of the spring spring. After marriage, she had to take care of the children and breastfeed the children. Although she hired a nanny, she was still unhappy.

Until the appearance of a man broke her boring marriage life.

Shen Yimei didn't dare to think about it anymore. She lowered her head and said softly, "Mom, let's go."

"Why do you want to go? Let's just make things clear today." Sister-in-law Feng Xiaoyuan looked at the Shen family with disdain. How could this family have the face to do that? Her daughter and son did bad things, and in the end, because Pei Ji'an was a man, they turned the tables and put all the blame on Pei Ji'an, asking him to take responsibility and to fall in love with Shen Yimei willingly no matter what.

How could there be such shameless people and things in the world?

Their daughter of the Shen family was innocent, and she was dreaming of remarrying Pei Ji'an.

Feng Xiaoyuan almost vomited.

Since the relationship has been torn apart, Pei Ji'an simply laid everything out to avoid further entanglement in the future. He said expressionlessly: "As for the reason for the divorce, I think Aunt Shen can ask Shen Yimei in front of everyone now, what reasons does she have to divorce."

"What do you mean?" Shen's mother asked with a sullen face, and then looked at Shen Yimei.

Shen Yimei shrank back and tried to escape, but was grabbed by her arm by Shen's mother, "What's going on? Pei Ji'an means that you were the one who first proposed the divorce!?"

"Mom, don't ask, Yimei can't stand the stimulation." Shen Yiming couldn't bear her mother to force her sister to question.

"Do you know? You know that if you don't tell mom, mom will be like a shrew in front of Pei Ji'an. Shen Yiming, otherwise tell me if what Pei Ji'an said is true? If it is true, do you still know these words, loyalty, faith, courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame?"

Mother Shen was furious. From the brother and sister jointly designing Pei Ji'an to Shen Yimei's divorce, she felt that she was overturned. She was proud of her lifelong education, and the two children she raised by herself slapped her in the face and told her with facts that it was nothing more than this.

Shen Yiming died.

"Let me tell you something," Wang Hongmian stood in front of her husband, "What Pei Ji'an said is true. My husband Shen Yiming did something wrong many years ago. My sister-in-law divorced Pei Ji'an because she had an extramarital affair and got pregnant with that man's child, so she had to divorce!"

This statement was earth-shattering.
