"Compared to your indulgence of your grandson wielding a knife and committing violence, compared to your constant cursing of Nian'an as a bastard, my little bit of 'viciousness' is nothing at all."
He paused, his tone laced with menace, "If you want to save him, go find a doctor yourself. Don't come here causing trouble. If you dare make another sound, I'll kick you all out!"
Madam Pei was so frightened by his imposing manner that she took two steps back, but she still cried out in despair. However, Pei Wuwang ignored her completely and turned back to the manor.
The Pei family was left helplessly at the door.
Pei Jindan's breath grew weaker and weaker, and Pei's second uncle and Madam Qin were extremely anxious.
Madam Qin cried and wailed, constantly cursing Pei Wuwang and Shen Qingtang for being cold-blooded.
Just then, Lu Jiaojiao suddenly stepped out from behind the crowd.
With a strange smile on his face, he said, "I do have a way to save the golden egg, but I don't know if you're willing to listen to me."
The Pei family felt like they had grasped at a straw.
They immediately surrounded it.
Madam Qin grabbed Lu Jiaojiao's hand and said urgently, "Miss Lu, we're willing to do anything to save Jindan!"
Lu Jiaojiao's lips curled into a sinister smile as she lowered her voice and said, "Saving him isn't difficult, but you have to promise me that from now on, everyone in the Pei family will obey my orders and be my dogs. Whoever I tell you to bite, you'll bite, especially Shen Qingtang; you must help me bring them down!"
The elder Qin and the younger Qin exchanged a glance, a hint of hesitation flashing in their eyes.
But looking at Pei Jindan, who was barely alive in his arms...
He gritted his teeth and nodded. "Okay! We promise you! As long as it saves Golden Egg, we'll do whatever you say!"
Madam Qin said fiercely. She had long harbored resentment towards Pei Wuwang for not helping the Pei family and protecting Shen Qingtang at every turn. Now she was taking this opportunity to take revenge.
Madam Qin chimed in, "That's right! That ingrate Shen doesn't deserve to be a member of the Pei family! And Shen Qingtang, he's arrogant and domineering just because he has some skills. We've been fed up with him for a long time! From now on, we'll follow you and make sure they're brought down!"
Lu Jiaojiao smiled with satisfaction and took out a bottle of black ointment from her bosom.
He handed it to Madam Qin: "Apply this ointment to Jin Dan's wound. He'll wake up in half an hour. Remember what you said. If you dare to go back on your word, I have plenty of ways to make your Pei family suffer."
Madam Qin quickly took the ointment and carefully applied it to Pei Jindan.
Sure enough, not long after, Pei Jindan slowly woke up, though he was still very weak.
It seemed they were out of danger. The Pei family breathed a sigh of relief and became even more obedient to Lu Jiaojiao.
Lu Jiaojiao looked at the Pei family members in front of her, a hint of calculation flashing in her eyes, and then looked at Pei Yurou standing to the side.
Pei Yurou was quite beautiful.
However, she has been unable to find a good home because of the Pei family's decline.
Lu Jiaojiao walked up to her, patted her shoulder, and said in a seductive tone, "Yu Rou, let me show you a way out. Shen Mingzhao, the second young master of the Shen family, is handsome and talented, and he is also Shen Qingtang's second brother. If you can seduce him and get together with him, you can gain a foothold in the Shen family in the future. Not only can he help me gather information, but he can also ensure that you will be well-off for the rest of your life. Isn't that better than staying in this lousy Pei family?"
Pei Yurou's eyes flickered; she had long envied the Shen family's wealth.
He also had some feelings for the gentle and refined Shen Mingzhao, but he never had the chance to get close to him.
Now, hearing Lu Jiaojiao's words...
A sudden surge of desire welled up within him. He looked up at Lu Jiaojiao and asked hesitantly, "Is...is it really okay? What if Shen Mingzhao doesn't like me?"
