Li Mochuan instantly understood what Ye Ningwan meant from her gaze.

He muttered a curse under his breath.

"Ye Ningwan, where did you get this bad habit of using things without thinking?"

Ye Ningwan smiled and said it as if it were perfectly natural.

"Pei Fengzhi trusts you so much that he entrusted his wife to your care, so it's only natural that you do me a small favor."

Li Mochuan almost cursed.

"But this small favor doesn't include helping his wife take care of her illegitimate child, right?"

Ye Ningwan's smile remained as bright as ever, as she spoke, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"It doesn't even include wanting to have a one-night stand with his wife, Mr. Li, you did it anyway."

Li Mochuan was rendered speechless by Ye Ningwan's retort and had no choice but to agree, feeling both amused and exasperated.

He rubbed his forehead and leaned back on the sofa, saying helplessly.

"You'd better leave quickly, or I'll regret it."

...

Ye Ningwan drove the Aston Martin she had "borrowed" from Li Mochuan at breakneck speed to the Pei family's old residence.

About an hour later, Ye Ningwan's car stopped in front of the Pei family's old residence, just in time to run into Madam Pei, who had just arrived.

When Madam Pei saw Ye Ningwan arrogantly park her car at the gate of the old mansion, she couldn't help but frown and scold her unhappily.

"What's going on? Who dares to park their car at the main gate? Have they forgotten the Pei family rules? The servants are getting more and more disrespectful and unruly!"

She acted as if she didn't see Ye Ningwan in the car, and continued to lecture her indirectly.

The bodyguards and servants at the door all lowered their heads, not daring to argue with Madam Pei. They simply kept their eyes down, staring at the tips of their shoes without saying a word or offering any explanation.

Having spent so much time in the old house, they had all become shrewd and worldly-wise; how could they not know that Madam Pei's words were directed at Ye Ningwan?

Now that Pei Fengzhi has been embroiled in such a scandal, the other branches of the Pei family rushed over overnight, eager to see Old Master Pei.

The well-informed servants had already heard that the other branches of the Pei family were wary of Pei Fengzhi and wanted to take this opportunity to drive him out of the Pei family, thus completely eliminating his possibility of becoming the heir of the Pei family.

In this way, even Pei Fengzhi is like a grasshopper in autumn, let alone a mere woman sent to Pei Fengzhi to bring him good luck.

Those servants were all sycophants, so of course none of them would help Ye Ningwan. Instead, some of them were excitedly planning to watch a good show.

Madam Pei's curses were incredibly clear in the quiet of the night, each word like a slap in the face, distinct and obvious.

The people from the second and fourth branches of the family arrived almost immediately after the people from the first branch of the family. Naturally, they heard Madam Pei scolding the servants and also saw the Aston Martin parked at the door.

The two families exchanged a glance, both understanding each other perfectly.

The second branch of the family had always disliked Pei Fengzhi, and naturally they didn't take Ye Ningwan seriously either, simply standing aside watching the show with a mocking expression.

For the second branch of the family, it would be best if Ye Ningwan could fight with Madam Pei, the more exciting the better, and ideally, she could anger Old Master Pei. In that case, not only Pei Fengzhi, but also the members of the first branch of the family would be stripped of their status as heirs by the old master.

This time, only Madam Pei from the fourth branch of the family came. Master Pei was away on a business trip and was not at home. She was always kind to others, and when she heard Madam Pei making such veiled insults at Ye Ningwan, she immediately felt compassion.

She stepped forward and whispered her advice to Madam Pei.

"Sister-in-law, let it go. Ninth Sister-in-law has only been married into the family for a short time, and she and Ninth Brother don't live in the old house. She doesn't know much about the old house's rules. She'll remember them next time. Please don't make things difficult for her."

Madam Pei turned her head, her eyes sharply fixed on Madam Pei the Fourth, and gave a cold laugh, saying to Madam Pei the Fourth.

"Fourth sister-in-law, what do you mean by that? Am I deliberately making things difficult for Ye Ningwan? With such a huge accusation thrown at me, I have nowhere to hide!"

Madam Pei was speechless for a moment after being rebuked by Madam Pei.

She has never been good at talking, and she is also dull and not good at socializing. When it comes to arguing, she is no match for Madam Pei at all. She can only stare with wide eyes, tears welling up in her eyes.

Seeing Madam Pei's reaction, Madam Pei rolled her eyes and said irritably.

"Always like this, anyone would think I'm bullying you! What bad luck!"

Just then, Ye Ningwan opened the car door and slowly stepped out of the car.

Madam Pei immediately questioned Ye Ningwan.

"Ninth sister-in-law, tell me, I was just scolding these servants! Fourth sister-in-law insists that I was scolding you. Tell me, what does she mean by that? Isn't this ruining the relationship between us sisters-in-law? Now I'm caught in the middle!"

As Madam Pei spoke, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her aggrieved appearance a stark contrast to her previous demeanor.

Seeing Madam Pei's behavior, Fourth Madam Pei was afraid that Ye Ningwan would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained.

"Ninth Sister-in-law, please don't misunderstand, that's not what I meant, I just..."

Madam Pei stammered for a long time, but still couldn't utter a complete sentence. She could only sigh deeply and fall silent as if resigned to her fate.

Ye Ningwan glanced at Madam Pei the Fourth, said nothing, and then turned to give Madam Pei the First a slight smile.

"Oh, did my sister-in-law say something just now? I didn't hear it."

Upon hearing this, Madam Pei laughed smugly and gave Madam Pei the smug look.
