"Mom, did we do something really wrong?! Why did those people punish us?! Mom, what is a 'needle whip'? Does it hurt when you hit us?!"
The light is the darkest inside the sacrificial hall.
When Ji Yuqi lowered her head, she saw that Ji Niancheng was so frightened that not only was his face pale, but even his lips had lost color. She quickly comforted him, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Didn't you hear that Grandpa and Second Uncle are protecting you?! They won't allow anyone to whip you, and Mom won't allow it either."
"What about Dad? When will Dad come back?!" When Ji Niancheng raised his head and asked Ji Yuqi, tears couldn't stop flowing down.
Ji Yuqi moved his lips, wanting to explain, but didn't know how to explain.
Although Ji Niancheng is young, Ji Yuqi has rarely lied to him since he grew up.
"Mom, does Daddy not want us anymore?!" Seeing that his mother didn't say anything, Ji Niancheng asked directly, "I heard the servants talking last night, saying that Daddy was in Jincheng, taking care of his girlfriend. Mom, why does Daddy still have a girlfriend? Aren't you his wife?!"
"..." Ji Yuqi didn't know how to explain it anymore. She just subconsciously hugged Ji Niancheng tighter. At the end, she just murmured, "Don't listen to the servants' nonsense. How could Daddy not want you?! He loves you very much..."
…
Pei Jiqing and Pei Quyan had a big quarrel.
Both of them were about to fight.
When Pei Huaijin saw someone bullying his father, he jumped unprecedentedly high.
The main hall was in chaos.
Cui Zhen stood aside, just watching with cold and gloomy eyes.
How could he not see through Pei Quyan's intention to provoke Pei Jiqing?!
Changing the concept.
Divert conflicts.
Disturbing the audience.
Did he think that by doing so, the entire Pei family would focus tonight's purpose and emphasis on him and Pei Jiqing?!
Ha~!
Cui Zhen smiled coldly, then turned and looked directly at his confidant. In less than ten minutes, fifty of Cui family's elite guards appeared in the main hall of the ancestral temple with guns in hand.
Well-trained and with a tough attitude, they separated and restrained the heads of the various families who were in chaos in the hall.
Everyone was shocked to see Cui Zhen making such a big scene.
Pei Huaijin stared at Cui Zhen, whose expression was stern, in amazement. His voice trembled as he spoke: "Cui Zhen, are you crazy?!"
The Pei family ancestral temple is the most sacred place of the Pei family.
Without permission, Cui Zhen signaled his guards and barged in. Was he trying to...rebel?!
He should know better than anyone: any use of force and violence is prohibited in the Peidi Ancestral Temple.
Such behavior is more than just treason.
It's basically: courting death.
Entering the forbidden area of the Pei residence, Cui Zhen remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic. His face was expressionless and he spoke calmly, "Since the Pei family's guard dispatch authority has been reclaimed by Master Pei, then at this time, I have no choice but to take the risk of sending my own guards in. After all, the two branches of the Pei family share the same bloodline. If things get out of hand, as the chief steward, I will be blamed and a sinner for the entire family."
Pei Huaijin was furious at Cui Zhen's words.
It was clearly an act of showing off one's power and being disrespectful to one's superiors, but he defined it as a righteous statement made out of helplessness.
C.ao~——! ! ! !
Although he was being held down by the Cui family guards, the head of the family, who had just been angered, was still restless and wanted to continue making trouble.
Upon hearing this, Cui Zhen immediately said quietly, "Now that the head of the Pei family is married, according to clan rules, the Ji family must be listed as the first of the outer relatives. However, the laws of this world are that what comes in must go out. How many outer relatives want to be expelled along with the last family of the secondary lineage this time? It's perfect! It's time for some fresh blood in the outer relatives!"
