Upon hearing Ye Ningwan's words, Madam Pei immediately became nervous.

"You... Ye Ningwan... what else do you want to do to Minghan!"

Startled by Madam Pei's shout, Ye Ningwan immediately shrank behind Pei Fengzhi, tugging at his clothes and speaking in a coquettish voice.

"Ninth Master, my sister-in-law is so fierce, I'm scared."

Pei Fengzhi knew perfectly well that Ye Ningwan was just pretending, but he didn't care much. He simply held Ye Ningwan's hand tightly and pulled her back into his arms.

"Don't be afraid, she won't dare to do anything to you."

After saying that, Pei Fengzhi looked up and stared at Madam Pei with a half-smile, his smile chilling.

"Right, sister-in-law?"

Madam Pei took two steps back as Pei Fengzhi looked at her, her lower back involuntarily bumping into the tea table.

She paused, turned around to look at Old Master Pei who was adjusting the tea tray, and hurriedly explained.

"Dad, I didn't mean to do anything to Ninth Brother's wife! But there's something you probably don't know: the reason Minghan is like this is all because of Ninth Brother's wife!"

This matter can no longer be kept secret.

Since that's the case, she might as well drag someone else down with her. She'd rather die than let Ye Ningwan continue to be so smug!

Madam Pei, with tears in her eyes, complained to Old Master Pei.

"Dad, you know Minghan is the apple of my eye! That night, Minghan only wanted to comfort Ye Ningwan because of their past relationship! But who knew that Ye Ningwan would suddenly attack Minghan and end up like this!"

"My Minghan is so pitiful! What sins has she committed?! I might as well be dead!"

Madam Pei knelt down in front of Old Master Pei, grabbed his sleeve, and cried out.

"You must stand up for me! My husband works hard outside, and I'm the only woman at home. Minghan was at least somewhat obedient and could help me, but now it's suddenly turned out like this. It's like tearing my heart out!"
