Countless scholars and prominent figures arrived at the Pei family's mourning hall.
When they saw the woman inside the cubicle, still flickering with candlelight.
They all unanimously chose to sever all ties with the Pei family.
Even a fool would have realized something was wrong by now.
The reason why the Pei family was able to wield such power and influence in the imperial court was because of this.
Besides the fact that the Pei family held many official positions in the imperial court and local areas.
Most importantly, the Pei family enjoys an excellent reputation among scholars.
This is the network of connections that the Pei family has carefully cultivated over a century.
These reputations are the key to the Pei family's enduring strength.
However, at this moment, Pei Liang clearly felt that those connections and reputation were dissipating at an extremely rapid pace.
It wasn't until Mr. Dongshan appeared that Pei Liang completely broke down.
The emaciated Pei Liang sat before Pei Shaoji's coffin and looked at Mr. Dongshan standing in front of him, asking a question.
"Sir, are you also here to sever all ties with the Pei family?"
Mr. Dongshan gazed at the many figures inside the cubicle, and then sighed deeply.
"How could it come to this? The Pei family's century-old reputation has been ruined in an instant."
After saying this, Mr. Dongshan turned and left without lingering at all.
At this moment, all the disciples of the Pei family looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what had happened.
Just then, Pei Jianzhi, his face deathly pale, rushed into the mourning hall.
Looking at the people in the mourning hall who were looking at each other in bewilderment, Pei Jianzhi did not hesitate to immediately recount everything he had seen and heard in the capital.
As Pei Jianzhi's voice fell, Pei Liang's expression changed from shock to anger, and then from anger to deathly pale.
Pei Liang slumped to the ground, his eyes vacant, muttering to himself.
"A family of wax artisans! A family of wax artisans!"
At this moment, a figure reappeared in Pei Liang's mind.
He gave a bitter smile.
"Hahaha! Mu Zi'an! Mu Zi'an! Is this all the tricks you've got?"
Pei Liang went completely mad! The words "Human Wax Family" were a devastating blow to the Pei family!
The moment that label was attached to them, the Pei family was already sentenced to death!
The spark has ignited a prairie fire! The Pei family is now trapped like fish in a barrel!
Inside the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, Mu Zian heard the cold, mechanical voice of the system.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a choice!"
"Option 1: Observe the situation and remain behind the scenes to watch the Pei family fall apart. Reward: Top-tier charm (The host will gain the trust of others more easily and will have a fatal attraction to those of the opposite sex)."
"Option 2: Step forward and confront the Pei family head-on, delivering a fatal blow. Reward: Super Endurance (tenfold increase in endurance against negative effects such as pain, hunger, and poisoning)."
"Ding! Please make a decision, host!"
