Madam Pei the Second chuckled and spoke calmly to Madam Pei the First.

"That's not impossible. After all, Pei Fengzhi has been bedridden for so many years. We don't even know if he's still useful. With such a beautiful woman on his bed, he can only look at her but not use her. It's normal for him to become a pervert."

"Besides, he might have had that kind of interest before he became a vegetable. After all, he was thrown into Zone 1 when he was young. There were no women there, only men. And he had to undergo such strict training from a young age. The pressure was immense, so his personality might have become distorted."

"Otherwise, why haven't we heard of any men or women around Pei Fengzhi for the past thirty years? He must have some preferences that he doesn't want outsiders to know."

Pei Minghao agreed wholeheartedly.

He couldn't help but say it sarcastically.

"Our old man thought Pei Fengzhi was a man of few desires, but I wonder what he thought after seeing his true colors?"

The thought of how he had been scolded countless times by Old Master Pei for his womanizing ways, often staying out all night drinking and playing with women, and most recently being locked up at home by Old Master Pei to reflect on his mistakes, filled Pei Minghao with resentment.

He was eager to see how angry and regretful Old Master Pei would be after he learned what his most precious son was like. Just thinking about that scene made him feel good.

However, Madam Pei backed down at this crucial moment.

She bit her lip and asked with concern.

"But what if Pei Fengzhi is innocent? Wouldn't the old man feel even more sorry for him then? If the old man investigates thoroughly and finds out that we framed Pei Fengzhi, neither of our branches will be able to get away with it. Wouldn't that just let the third branch reap the benefits?"

Madam Pei scoffed and rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Sister-in-law, you look so timid and hesitant, it's really unsightly."

Madam Pei's face immediately turned ugly after being insulted by Madam Pei's second wife. She gritted her teeth, stood up, and glared at Madam Pei's second wife.

"you!"

How dare you speak to me like that?

Madam Pei the Second lowered her head and drank her tea, ignoring Madam Pei the First.

Pei Minghao was helpless. These two women simply couldn't stand each other and it was like they were going to war the moment they met, but now they had to sit down and discuss things.

Pei Minghao had no choice but to coax his mother a few times, and only then did Madam Pei's expression improve.

Pei Minghao then spoke softly to Madam Pei.

"Second Aunt, don't be angry. The most important thing for us now is to discuss how to deal with Pei Fengzhi and that child. We can't start arguing here. Wouldn't that just make our loved ones suffer and our enemies rejoice?"

"Now that Pei Fengzhi has woken up, he's doing everything he can to nibble away at our shares!"

Madam Pei's eyebrows twitched slightly. She knew exactly what was going on, but her words were evasive.

"Minghao, so that's what you were thinking. But things are different now. Your Ninth Uncle only has those few lousy companies left. At most, they make a hundred million in profit a year. What can they possibly make? They're probably struggling to even cover his daily expenses, aren't they?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Minghao couldn't help but sneer, raising his eyebrows and giving a cold glance at Madam Pei.

"Second Aunt, it's really meaningless of you to say that. Don't you know the truth in your heart?"

"Think about what kind of life we ​​lived when Pei Fengzhi was in power. He was the only one who could do whatever he wanted in the Pei family. There wasn't even room for us to stand when he was sitting down. He ate meat, but we weren't even given a chance to drink soup! The whole family had to depend on him, and he always had that stern face, looking down on everyone!"

"Second Aunt, tell me, is that a life for a human being? Or do you want to go back to the old days? Pei Fengzhi isn't the kind of person who's soft-hearted. There's nothing he can't get if he wants it, and nothing he can't do if he wants to do it! He's keeping a low profile now because he knows he might just wipe out our entire Pei family in one fell swoop!"

Madam Pei's expression grew increasingly grim.

How could she not know what happened back then? She was probably the one who feared Pei Fengzhi the most and hated him the most!

Then, Madam Pei's soft voice echoed in the tea room.

“Minghao, you were just a child back then, and you were studying abroad. You probably don’t know about what happened between your second aunt and your ninth uncle!”

Pei Minghao pretended not to understand and immediately asked.

"Oh, what is it? Is there something about the family that I don't know?"

Madam Pei glanced at Madam Pei's unpleasant expression, suppressed the smugness in her eyes, and forced out a few tears before hesitantly speaking.

"Back then, your second brother was the old man's favorite grandson. He was not only good-looking, but he also played the piano very well. But because your second brother offended your ninth uncle, your ninth uncle had someone crush your second brother's fingers one by one with the piano lid. At that time, you knelt in front of your ninth uncle and begged him to show mercy. You cried until you were almost blind, but it was still of no use."

Pei Minghao was taken aback, but recalling Pei Fengzhi from his memories, he realized that he was indeed a stern and ruthless man.

He took a deep breath, stole a glance at Madam Pei's expression, and asked cautiously.

"And then what happened? It seems like I haven't seen my second brother much since then. I only heard that he's been in Germany all these years and hasn't come home."

Madam Pei the Second almost gritted her teeth, gave Pei Minghao and Madam Pei the First a cold glance, and coughed twice forcefully.

Seeing that Second Madam Pei looked like she was about to strangle someone, Madam Pei didn't say anything more and quickly shut her mouth.

She knew all too well what the consequences would be if she pushed someone to their breaking point.

Then Madam Pei interrupted the mother and son's conversation, bringing the topic back on track.

"Just find someone to report Pei Fengzhi. When the police storm in and arrest him, let's put Pei Fengzhi in jail first."

Madam Pei stared at Madam Pei's face, which was filled with hatred, and asked hesitantly.

"Will this work? The police aren't stupid, and Pei Fengzhi isn't the kind of person who lets you throw mud at him without him being prepared at all."

Madam Pei snorted.

"Even if Pei Fengzhi really has nothing to do with that child, so what? Pei Fengzhi's reputation is already ruined. Even if he had a hundred mouths, he couldn't clear his name. Sister-in-law, do you know what it means to be unable to clear your name even if you jump into the Yellow River?"

"As for the police... we can find someone who will leave the police speechless to call the police!"

The three people present looked at each other and then figured it out.

You mean?

...

late at night.

Tang Ruanruan had already gone to sleep, but she was still woken up by the knocking on the door.

She immediately put on her clothes and got up. As soon as she opened the bedroom door, she saw Yu Yu peeking out from the master bedroom.
