Chapter 296 The Fish is Hooked
[Your father is a stubborn and foolish filial son. If he is released without any problem this time, these heartless people will shamelessly cling to him.
Maybe then they will turn the tables and blame you and mother, and even implicate Prince Zhong and the Third Master Xie.
Harm them unjustly.
Although your father is foolishly filial, he is a good man. Mother doesn't want him to offend the nobles because of this.
I don't want your reputation to be damaged because of this.
Only when these heartless people can no longer stand up to your father can our family of three be completely liberated.]
Shen Zhao looked at Madam Pei, she was an understanding person.
Pei Yuanyi has a wife like this, what else could he ask for?
She might as well give her a hand.
Shen Zhao threw the consent form in his hand in the face of the Pei clan leader.
"This is your Pei family's business, and has nothing to do with me. If you want to sign, then sign.
However, this prince and Mr. Xie San have witnessed this today, and this serves as personal evidence to prove that you have severed your relationship with Pei Yuanyi."
The Pei clan leader took the paper from his face and was about to write his own name with the blood on his fingers.
Chen Zhao's eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke again:
"Even if your clan expel Pei Yuanyi from the family now, it is too late.
Now only I and Third Young Master Xie are here. Apart from you, the Pei family, Third Young Master Xie and I are the only ones who know about this.
If Lord Pei is truly a traitor and is punished by His Majesty, then none of you Pei clan members will be able to escape. After all, His Majesty doesn't know that you expelled Pei Yuanyi from the Pei clan.
The common people don't know that Master Pei is no longer a member of the Pei clan, and they will continue to vent their anger on you."
Chen Zhao looked at the unpredictable expressions of the Pei family and continued, "I'm sure everyone has had a very bad time these past two days."
After being told this by Shen Zhao, the Pei family members became angry and their eyes were filled with grievance.
These days they are like rats crossing the street, everyone is shouting and beating them.
Even when I came to Pei Mansion today, I sneaked in through the dog hole.
The gate was blocked by people who came to cause trouble.
I originally wanted to enter the house through the back door.
The back door, like the main door, was surrounded by people.
They had no choice but to put aside their dignity and crawl in through the dog hole.
If it weren't for that unscrupulous beast Pei Yuanyi...
Chen Zhao listened to the grievances of these people and just wanted to laugh.
Everyone was blaming and cursing Pei Yuanyi in their hearts.
But I also forgot that if it weren't for Pei Yuanyi and his people, I probably wouldn't even know what Kyoto City looks like.
Pei Yuanyi provided them with food, clothing, housing and transportation, so how could they have the nerve to blame him?
"I'm afraid your signature will be in vain. After all, only Mr. Xie and I know about it. The people outside the palace and His Majesty in the palace are unaware of it."
Shen Zhao's words made everyone in the Pei family look gloomy.
Yes, Prince Zhong is right.
Even if they expelled Pei Yuanyi from the family now, only their Pei clan members and Prince Zhong and Mr. Xie San would know about it.
The people outside the palace don’t know this.
People outside the palace!
Suddenly, Madam Pei spoke in surprise, her eyes sparkling, "The people outside the palace haven't left yet."
The Pei clan leader was instantly awakened and continued, "Yes, the people outside the palace haven't dispersed yet.
We can open the gates of the Pei Mansion and expel Pei Yuanyi from the clan in front of everyone."
Now he no longer felt the pain in the corner of his mouth and his speech became clearer.
In this way, they could get rid of Pei Yuanyi in front of everyone.
Even if the emperor wanted to kill or chop off Pei Yuanyi, it would have nothing to do with them.
The other members of the Pei family suddenly understood, and their eyes shone with gold.
In this way, they also announced to the world that Pei Yuanyi was no longer a member of the Pei family.
They no longer have to worry about being implicated by Pei Yuanyi.
A hint of sneer flashed in Shen Zhao's eyes.
The fish is hooked!
Madam Pei urged everyone in the mansion:
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and open the door."
"Let's see who dares!" Mrs. Pei stood on the stone steps.
He spoke tearfully, "Old Madam, Yuan Yi has always respected you as his mother, always doing what you wished and honoring you. He has never contradicted you. Yuan Yi will always meet your orders and requests."
"Now that Yuan Yi is in trouble, are you going to abandon him?"
"Do you know what it would mean if the Pei family expelled Yuan Yi from the family now?"
"Have you ever thought about what others will think of Yuan Yi?"
Madam Pei said to Madam Pei with a bad face: "I am his elder, he should respect me! I am the elder and he is the younger, he should meet my requests. If he dares not to meet my requests, it would be disrespectful to me.
In the State of Southern Chu, from the royal family to the common people, everyone values filial piety the most. How dare Pei Yuanyi disobey me!
It's not that I want to abandon him. He has no blood relationship with me, and he has done something so evil and rebellious.
What's wrong with the Pei family for driving such a scourge out of the clan? "
Old Madam Pei rolled her eyes at the shaky Madam Pei, thinking to herself, "Useless thing, she can't stand it anymore. When Pei Yuanyi dies, I'll kick her and her son out of the Pei Mansion. She'll have plenty of time to cry."
Chen Zhao looked at Madam Pei's complacent look, and wondered who would be the one crying then!
Madam Pei said with disdain, "What do people think of him? What can they think of him? He's a traitor, so why should he be afraid of what others think of him?"
She asked Madam Pei to support her, walked up to Madam Pei, and said disgustedly:
"You have no manners, get out of here right now."
He suddenly pushed Madam Pei aside and said to the maids and servants behind him, "Are you all dead? Why don't you open the door? I'm here, and I don't see who dares to stop us!"
Pei Xiaosi hurriedly stepped forward to support his mother. Just as he was about to speak, Mrs. Pei secretly squeezed Pei Xiaosi's hand.
He shook his head at her to signal her not to speak.
All the servants in the mansion saw this scene. Not all the people in the mansion belonged to Old Lady Pei.
By then, they won't be able to deny it even if they want to.
Pei Xiaosi held back, but Xie Yuheng couldn't.
With him and Brother Chu here, no one can bully Pei Xiaosi and Madam Pei.
Chen Zhao listened to Xie Yuheng's inner thoughts and really wanted to kick him twice.
How come you are just full of energy and can't you read the signals and act accordingly?
"Yuheng, come here!"
At the moment when Xie Yuheng was about to rush out, Shen Zhao spoke in a calm voice.
"This is the Pei family's family affair. You and I cannot interfere. I know you care about the people and cannot bear to see those who died unjustly suffer injustice. I, like you, will do the same. With His Majesty and the Supreme Court investigating this case, we will definitely give everyone justice."
Shen Zhao didn't dare show that she was biased towards Pei Xiaosi and her daughter, for fear that these people from the Pei family would see through her.
Xie Yuheng gave Brother Chu a strange look.
Brother Chu, there must be something deeper behind what you said.
Not sure, let him think about the meaning of Brother Chu's words again.
Anyway, Brother Chu knows the relationship between him and Pei Xiaosi.
I will never help the Pei family bully Xiao Si.
Shen Zhao's words made the Pei family more certain that the two nobles in front of them were here to cause trouble for Pei Yuanyi.
They were even more grateful for the wise decision to expel Pei Yuanyi from the Pei family.
