But Old Master Pei didn't want to hear anything anymore. He waved his hand lazily and gave instructions to Butler Wang.

"Take them away!"

Two bodyguards stepped forward and forcibly pulled Pei Minghua out of Madam Pei's arms.

Pei Minghua cried and made a scene, and Madam Pei held onto her tightly. Even so, the bodyguards forcibly pulled her out of Madam Pei's arms and dragged her toward the basement.

Pei Minghua cried uncontrollably and desperately reached out to Madam Pei for help.

"Mom, save me! Mom, I don't want to go to the dark room! Please save me! I don't want to go, Mom! I'm your own son, you can't abandon me!"

Seeing her son like this, and hearing his heart-wrenching cries in her ear, Madam Pei rushed forward and knelt before Old Master Pei, grabbing his clothes and pleading loudly.

"Grandpa, Dad! Minghua is still a child, he doesn't understand anything! Punish me instead, it's all my fault, I didn't teach him well. I beg you, please forgive Minghua, I'm willing to punish me however you want! Just let Minghua go."

Old Master Pei stared coldly at Madam Pei, his eyes lowered, and spoke each word clearly.

“No matter how old he is, if he makes a mistake, he makes a mistake, and he should be punished! If he is punished this time, he will remember it and never dare to do it again! Punishing you is useless; he won't remember it and will just do it again next time!”

Madam Pei shook her head, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Dad, one of my sons has already been sent to Russia and will never come back. Are you going to do this to me too? This is too cruel for me! Are you really going to force me to die?"

"You're forcing me to live! I might as well die right in front of you!"

As Madam Pei spoke, she stood up and was about to crash into the pillar.

Ye Ningwan reacted quickly and grabbed Madam Pei.

If she had actually run into that pillar today, she probably wouldn't have died, but Old Master Pei wouldn't have been able to punish Pei Minghua any further, so the matter was left at that.

That's impossible!
