The nanny already felt that Cui Hailu had gone too far, so she nodded. "Yes, the madam and the others had a conflict with Miss Wan Ning. I overheard that it was related to the work trip to the countryside. Miss Wan Ning disagreed, so the madam and the others locked her in the room and wouldn't let her go out. They wouldn't even let me bring her food."
“At noon, Pei Zhenghong and his wife came by, but they didn’t come to deliver money. They were stopped by the bodyguards and couldn’t go in. You can ask the bodyguards. Miss Wan Ning didn’t have a chance to meet them.”
Pei Tai then asked the bodyguards, and they all gave the same answer: Pei Zhenghong and his wife had been there, but they had not met Fu Wanning. The other servants in the house also said that the door was locked from the outside, and the key was in Pei Guangzong's hands.
"Wan Ning, did you hear Pei Zheng Hong say something bad? Those are all lies. Grandpa and your great-uncle are family. How could he report his own brother?"
Fu Wanning wasn't stupid. Pei Tai usually didn't care about anything, but he was a hypocrite. "Grandpa Pei, you're not blood brothers. Cui Hailu and the others often gossiped about Pei's adopted son in front of you, and you've always let it go. Have you forgotten?"
"Grandpa Pei, you call yourselves a prestigious family and look down on Grandpa's background. Why do you insist on taking advantage of Grandpa's wealth? Are Grandpa Pei and Uncle Pei unemployed? Are you not overgrown children who need to be supported by Grandpa's family? Do you think you can't live without Grandpa's family? Grandpa and Uncle Pei are not the Pei family's wallet, and they have no obligation or responsibility to give everything for the Pei family."
"Besides, the premise of my great-uncle giving me money was that he hoped I would live a good life and that the money would be used for me. But you didn't keep your promise. So after they found out that Cui Hailu had me under house arrest, they stopped the monthly subsidies. I completely agree with their decision. They don't need to reinstate it anymore. Let the Pei family support themselves. We are two unrelated families with no blood ties anymore. Let's not get too involved. Do Grandpa Pei and Uncle Pei want people to laugh at the Pei family as beggars begging for money?"
"It's hard to go from extravagance to frugality. From now on, if the Pei family starts to adapt to a frugal life, our Mrs. Cui Hailu can no longer spend money extravagantly. If you want to be a rich lady, go ask your husband for money. You bought so many things for your children today, you must have spent all your living expenses at once. You want to wait for your uncle to send money, but unfortunately you will never get it."
"Don't even think about squeezing a single penny out of your grandfather's house again. You, Cui Hailu, need to learn how to be a thrifty and virtuous wife and mother. The Pei family can no longer afford your life as a rich lady. Of course, you won't be able to send money home anymore."
She even stopped calling him "Grandpa" and "Dad" and addressed them with distance, which really panicked the entire Pei family.
Pei Zexing corrected her unhappily, "You unfilial daughter, you don't even recognize your grandparents and father anymore?"
Fu Wanning was no longer a weak girl who could be slaughtered by them. She knew how to use the Pei family's weaknesses to fight back. "My surname is Fu, and yours is Pei. Anyone can tell that we are not family. You are allowed to scheme against me, but I am not allowed to fight back? You even call yourself my father. I seriously doubt that I have any relation to you."
Zhao Baiping, accustomed to a life of luxury, was suddenly brought back to reality. How could she tolerate it? "They dare not give it to me? Are they deliberately trying to make my Pei family a laughing stock? I'll go to them myself and ask for it back. I should have strangled you when you were born, you ungrateful wretch!"
Fu Wanning gave a mocking laugh, "How is earning your own living a joke? Tsk tsk, you finally admit it, you've wanted to kill me for a long time, but you won't get anything by killing me."
