"Actually, your aunt wasn't the only one who had this idea back then, right?"
Chen Xinyue said softly, "Your grandfather and your uncle share the same idea. They are afraid that Jingyu will drag your Peng family down, so they tacitly approve of your aunt's behavior."
"Really?"
Yang Shujue hadn't thought of it that way and looked at Peng Shiyu with a surprised expression.
Peng Shiyu nodded in shame.
She knew, in fact, that she couldn't hide it from anyone.
"No, your family..."
Yang Shujue blurted out, "Isn't that too shameless? They rush in when there's something to gain and retreat as soon as things go wrong. What do your grandfather and the others think of Jingyu?"
No wonder Jingyu broke off the engagement without saying a word.
It seems she had seen through all of this long ago and had no intention of persisting.
"To be honest, your grandfather and his family's behavior was really despicable and contemptible."
"I don't know how to explain this to you."
Peng Shiyu smiled bitterly, "Of course I know that it was our family that wronged Sister Jingyu."
My father and grandfather felt that our Peng family was already in decline and could not withstand any storms. It just so happened that the storm brought by Sister Jingyu was too big.
My grandfather and eldest uncle feared that the Peng family wouldn't be able to withstand this storm, that it would fall completely, leaving them no chance to recover.
"It is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune."
Chen Xinyue said coldly, "But when Jingyu got engaged to your older brother, she was already considered half a member of the Peng family."
Instead of offering her help and protection, your treatment of Jingyu like discarded shoes is truly disheartening.
I didn't know much about this matter at the time, but after I found out, I realized that it wasn't without reason that the Peng family gradually declined.
At least your family will only add to what's already good, but will never offer help in times of need.
With this kind of behavior, who would want to continue working with your family?
“Xin Yue is right.”
Yang Shujue's face showed a complicated expression, "When we first met you and your brother, we all thought you were pretty good."
Later, I got to know your parents first, and I also felt that your parents were very nice.
It's truly unexpected that your grandfather and uncle are such profit-driven people.
"Perhaps my grandfather wanted to see my eldest brother lead the Peng family to rise to prominence."
Peng Shiyu did not refute them, but expressed her own opinion, "That's why I made this decision."
Actually, my grandfather and my eldest uncle have always regretted it...
"What are you regretting?"
Yang Shujue couldn't help but sneer and say sarcastically, "Do you regret letting your aunt cause trouble so early?"
If we had just persevered a little longer, we would have seen Jingyu rise to higher positions.
If they don't regret it, I might think more highly of them; but if they do regret it, I'll find them even more shameful and despicable.
"..."
Peng Shiyu blushed and smiled wryly, not daring to say anything more.
"If Jingyu hadn't stepped in and blocked everything back then, did your grandfather and the others really think that the engagement could be annulled so easily?"
Chen Xinyue's expression was unfriendly as she spoke again: "Not to mention Jingyu's maternal grandfather and uncles, Jingyu's sect alone will not let your Peng family off the hook."
I don't believe your family doesn't know that your older brother survived the battlefield because someone else sacrificed their life for him.
He is a lay disciple of Jingyu's sect. Speaking of which, your Peng family still owes a life to a disciple of Emei.
It can only be said that Jingyu is kind-hearted and has no intention of arguing with the Peng family about these negative aspects.
After all, revealing it would only make your family lose face more, and another point is that your older brother just came back from the battlefield.
If it weren't for these reasons, your Peng family would probably have been wiped out by the Emei disciples long ago.
I believe this, and your grandfather and the others probably know it too.
Peng Shiyu looked a little embarrassed, then nodded, "I know."
"Since you know all this, I really don't understand how your grandfather and your uncle still dare to tolerate your aunt bullying Jingyu like this."
Chen Xinyue frowned deeply, "In the end, Jingyu doesn't owe your Peng family anything; it's only your Peng family that owes her something."
For your and your older brother's sake, Jingyu has already endured so much grievance.
If your aunt continues to take her anger out on Jingyu, I believe that even if Jingyu can tolerate it, others will not.
At least I heard Mo Yu say that he didn't want to endure it anymore.
Shiyu, we're sisters, I think you should pass on the message.
I hope your aunt will shut her mouth from now on, otherwise someone will settle all the old scores with her.
Yang Shujue nodded and added, "That's right, people shouldn't be too immoral..."
...
Peng Shiyu returned home dejectedly.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing her daughter's expression, Juliet couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you go to find Xinyue and Shujue?"
"yes!"
Peng Shiyu nodded and looked at her mother, "Sister Xinyue asked me to pass on a message..."
Juliet was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
"Here's what happened..."
Peng Shiyu did not hide it from her mother and told her about their conversation.
Upon hearing this, Juliet was stunned.
Seeing her mother's expression, Peng Shiyu couldn't help but ask again, "Mom, really... can't we stop Auntie from bullying Sister Jingyu?"
"This isn't a question of bullying or not."
Juliet looked helpless. "Everyone knows this is her unresolved issue. As long as your older brother doesn't get married and give her a grandson, she will continue to hold a grudge against Jingyu."
"What's wrong with Sister Guan Jingyu? This is truly a wonderful name."
