"Alright, you two, stop believing everything you hear. The neighbors are making it sound so real, like it's the truth. Do they have any evidence? If not, it's just nonsense. To put it bluntly, they're just jealous of the Pei family and can't stand our relationship with the Lower Five Families." Zhao Baiping was confident in this. Although she was only a distant relative, she shared the same surname as the Zhao family elder of the Lower Five Families. Distant relatives are still relatives, they're all family, there's no need to be so clear about it.
She was proud of being from a family that was considered one of the lowest five generations of her family, and even the son-in-law and future granddaughter-in-law she chose came from such families.
She had such an enviable family background, and she enjoyed seeing her neighbors' envy and jealousy to satisfy her vanity.
“I believe in Hailu’s innocence. She is the niece of my benefactor’s sister, and her character is guaranteed. Even if she has some minor flaws, it’s not a big problem. She won’t do anything to bring shame to our Pei family.”
"See for yourself!" Knowing his wife didn't believe him, Pei Tai simply slapped the flyer in front of her.
"What the hell?" Zhao Baiping picked up the flyer and her vision went black. The flyer was filled with accusations against Cui Hailu and her two children, including a picture of the mother and her two children in disarray. And here's the kicker: the photo was in color. "What are you...?"
With current technology, the chances of it being fake are slim, so the content of the photo must be genuine.
Just moments ago, Cui Hailu had confidently assured everyone that she wouldn't embarrass herself, but now she was immediately proven wrong. "No, this isn't true..."
Pei Antong's expression changed drastically as she stared intently at the contents of the flyer. "That damned Fu Wanning tricked us! She didn't completely destroy the photos; she still has the negatives..."
Pei Guangzong was dumbfounded. "What should I do? If my fiancée sees this, will she break off the engagement?"
Rumors can be deadly; even innocent people can be hard-pressed to clear their names if there are photos of leaflets as evidence.
Upon hearing this, the three members of the Pei family knew that it was an undeniable fact.
Zhao Baiping couldn't believe that if these flyers were distributed all over the streets, how would the Pei family face anyone?
How can they face their former relatives and friends? And also endure the strange looks from their neighbors?
"So you were really seen naked? How could I have daughters-in-law and granddaughters like you? Where am I supposed to put my face now? You've made me unable to hold my head up in front of my relatives. Old Pei, Zexing, is this the only one? Can't you at least cover it up?"
She was the one who actively brought up Pei Zexing and Cui Hailu's marriage back then, even guaranteeing it for them. And what happened? Cui Hailu betrayed her trust and affection, causing such a huge problem for the Pei family.
Pei Tai's face was unusually gloomy. "We can't suppress it. It's plastered all over the streets and alleys. It's too late... Our Pei family's reputation is ruined. The neighbors are even mocking us for abusing Fu Wan Ning, saying that Ze Xing used Fu Yan Zhou's whereabouts to blackmail Fu Qing Ning into marrying him, that he colluded with his mistress Cui Hai Lu to have an affair, that he drove Fu Qing Ning to her death, and that Fu Qing Ning's fate is unknown. They also say that Guang Zong is a fake young master..."
Pei Zexing glared at Cui Hailu through gritted teeth, "There are also several single old men who stopped me, all of whom have their eyes on you, Cui Hailu and Pei Antong, and want to pay you for one night. You are truly my good wife and good daughter. Now everyone knows that you are immoral, and I have been cuckolded!"
