Two days ago, their attitude was a bit better; at least they called him Grandpa Pei and Grandma Pei. Now they're using his full name.
Something must have happened again!
“What exactly happened? Tell me…” He pointed at Pei Guangzong.
Pei Guangzong dared not admit to coveting Fu Wanning, as doing so would arouse suspicion.
Cui Hailu was on edge, caught in a dilemma. How could she bring up such an embarrassing matter?
“Fu Wanning was at fault first…” Pei Antong tried to change the subject. “So many things have happened in the Pei family, it must be related to her. Yes, it was her who did it. Even my mother and I have no savings left.”
Fu Wanning scoffed, "You guys don't have any secret stash of money. You either spend it all recklessly or send it back to the Cui family in Xiangyang Village. I'm not taking the blame for that."
Zhao Baiping was indeed led astray, her triangular eyes glaring at Fu Wanning, "You brat, did you steal the money in the house? You're the only one in the Pei family with the most motive, because you're dissatisfied with the elders' favoritism, dissatisfied with Hailu and her son, do you want to destroy the Pei family before you're satisfied?"
Fu Wanning was so angry she laughed. "Zhao Baiping, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't just throw mud at people. You keep saying I stole things, but what did I steal from you? Tell me!"
Zhao Baiping couldn't think of anyone, "Anyway, it was you who stole it."
"I was locked up by Cui Hailu and her son for two whole days, without any food or water. They had people watching me in shifts. Tell me, how could I steal anything? Do you think I'm some kind of god who can walk through walls and float away?" Fu Wanning glanced at me coldly and sneered meaningfully. "Maybe someone did too many bad things, or even killed someone, and that person turned into a vengeful ghost to disrupt the Pei family. You suspect me of stealing, and I'm actually quite grateful to Cui Hailu and her son for testifying for me. If they hadn't locked me up, how could I have proven my innocence?"
The expressions on Cui Hailu and the other two's faces were as if they had eaten shit; their confinement, ironically, cleared Fu Wanning of suspicion.
Pei Tai, Zhao Baiping, and Pei Zexing only then remembered this matter. Fu Wanning was locked in the room and had no chance of committing the crime. Why were they so sure that the money was lost in the last two days?
Take Zhao Baiping for example. She has a habit of touching the money every day to feel at ease.
Because his workplace was close to his house, Pei Tai would go to his courtyard house to rest every day at noon after get off work, and take the opportunity to check on the huge sum of money. The money was still there when he checked yesterday, but when he checked again today, it had been moved out without a trace.
Putting aside the fact that she was imprisoned, Fu Wanning usually made simple friends and had no extraordinary ability to command someone to sneak into his courtyard to steal things. Moreover, the bodyguards at the gate said that everything was normal and no one had entered or left, but the money disappeared for no reason.
The Pei family has a history of taint; could they really be telling Fu Wanning that it's a vengeful ghost?
This matter became an unsolved mystery for the Pei family. The feeling of losing something but not being able to report it was too unpleasant. Unfortunately, the head of the Hat Bureau was from one of the top five families, so they couldn't afford to give the other side any leverage.
Zhao Baiping's attitude was firm: "If it wasn't her, who else hates the Pei family? You must apologize to Guang Zong for hitting him!"
Fu Wanning pointed her chin at the imposter, "What about Pei Guangzong bullying me?"
Zhao Baiping, spoiled and biased, instinctively defended Pei Guangzong, saying, "He's your brother, how could he bully you? You brat, you just love to lie."
"He's not my biological brother!" Fu Wanning's words were like a bomb dropped on them.
