Should we lock Fu Wanning in the house until she goes to the countryside and then release her?
But what if Fu Wanning makes a huge fuss and the neighbors can hear her?
Are we going to shut her up?
Pei Zexing looked at Cui Hailu and the other two with a serious expression, then at Fu Wanning, seemingly lost in thought, unsure whether he believed their excuses.
Finally, Zhao Baiping spoke up, "A person who would even slander his own brother should be locked up and reflect on his mistakes. He can only be released when he realizes his wrongdoing."
That's what they said, but their main concern was that Fu Wanning would go around spreading rumors, ruining the Pei family's reputation and destroying Pei Guangzong's marriage.
Fu Wanning rolled her eyes, looking fearless. "Do you think you can just play dumb and trap me with this door? I can get out anytime I want. We'll see who can shut me up and who can poison me to make me mute."
"Cui Hailu and her two children locked me up for two days without food or water, but I'm still alive and well. I advise you not to waste your energy. The Pei family has no good reputation for a long time. Do you think you have any face because you rely on your great-grandfather's family to support you? Who in the neighborhood doesn't laugh at the Pei family for losing their great-grandfather's subsidies and mock you for being giant babies? You're all adults and still need to be supported by others. It's shameful... I'm ashamed for you."
"There are plenty of rumors about Cui Hailu and the other two in the neighborhood. I don't believe you haven't heard them. Anyway, Pei Guangzong isn't my brother, and I won't acknowledge an imposter."
With that, she slammed the door shut. "Lock it if you want, I don't care. In the end, I'm definitely not the one who will die!"
"Look at her attitude! She doesn't respect her grandparents or her father at all. I wonder who's been gossiping about her. She's out of control now." Pei Antong glared hatefully at the door, as if she wanted to kill Fu Wanning inside with her eyes.
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel that the way my grandfather and father look at my mother and Guangzong is filled with dissatisfaction and doubt.
Fortunately, Guangzong has this marriage to stabilize things, so Grandpa and Dad probably won't listen to Fu Wanning's instigation.
Pei Taiheng, wielding his power, instructed the crowd, "Alright, isn't the house chaotic enough already? Have someone keep an eye on Wan Ning, don't let her go and talk nonsense to Battalion Commander Du. Release her after she goes to the countryside."
The Pei family believed that placing Fu Wanning under house arrest would solve the problem at its root.
Little did they know that they underestimated the power of rumors and the speed at which they could spread them.
