When Pei Guangzong saw the truth revealed, fear and despair filled his heart.
Even if the real young master came to claim kinship and exposed his true colors, the Pei family might not believe it, including Fu Wanning.
But this time it came from Old Madam Fu, Cui Hailu's aunt and Zhao Baiping's benefactor, leaving the Pei family no choice but to believe her.
"Grandpa and Grandma, don't listen to Auntie's nonsense, she just doesn't like us..."
“That’s right. Auntie had a falling out with Uncle and the others, and then blamed us for the mistakes. That’s just too inhuman.” Pei Antong had learned a bit about Old Madam Fu’s shady dealings from her own mother. “You were divorced by the Fu family, that’s your own problem. What does it have to do with us? It was clearly your own doing. Why don’t your children and grandchildren support you? Don’t think I don’t know that you’ve been bullying your younger son in the Fu family, favoring him and tormenting your eldest daughter-in-law and grandchildren. If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to tolerate it either.”
“Fu Yuzhong, you are blindly loyal and filial, and you can’t even protect your own wife and children. It’s no wonder your cousins don’t support you. You have only yourself to blame. You can’t blame others. Just because you hate someone doesn’t mean you can spread rumors about Guangzong’s background.”
Grandma Fu felt once again that she had misplaced her sincerity. Cui Hailu was immoral, Pei Antong was arrogant and domineering, and Pei Guangzong had also gone astray. "Who would believe that? My sister knows perfectly well how I treated you all before."
"I just want to say one thing: Fu Jingchen and Fu Wanning look very similar. You can tell they are siblings just by looking at them. Do you know why my nephews don't come to Beijing? It's because they are worried that the Pei family will see his appearance. Pei Guangzong is his younger version. Realizing this, no matter how much my nephews and nieces miss their son, my brother and sister-in-law and Cui Hailu will not allow any accidents to happen."
"They are still waiting for Guangzong to inherit the Pei family and lead the Cui family out of poverty and into a prominent family in the capital, thus securing a place for themselves. The Pei family is the stepping stone for the Cui family to rise to power. Cui Hailu is not entirely sincere towards you Zexing. She approached him with ulterior motives and persuaded me to help her make the connection. In the end, I am Zhao Meizi's benefactor. With Zhao Meizi's help, the two of them got married as they wished. The marriage was the beginning of the child swap."
"Actually, when I first met Guangzong during my visit to Beijing, I felt a connection with him. I didn't think he looked like my niece at all. After all, there are many similar people in the world. I just thought he was raised by my niece. I was happy for my niece that he looked like her. As her stepmother, she had a well-behaved and sensible stepson. However, when Fu Jingchen told me the truth, I finally understood."
“I regret agreeing to help her so much. I almost ruined the Pei family. If I had known from the beginning that she wanted to switch the Pei family’s child, I would never have agreed. I should not have been soft-hearted back then. My mistake has been punished on my own grandson.”
To outsiders, Old Lady Fu was a pitiful woman who had suffered betrayal from her own family. She was devoted to her family, but in return, she was treated cruelly. No wonder she exploded and even disregarded the happiness of her own grandnephew.
In their opinion, the Cui family went too far.
In fact, not only Zhao Baiping, but Pei Tai and Pei Zexing could also see how much Old Madam Fu loved Cui Hailu and her daughter back then. Because of this love, Pei Guangzong also loved her very much. Every time he came to the capital, he would bring large and small gifts to Cui Hailu and even give her money as a subsidy.
Fu Laotai went to great lengths to win Cui Hailu's favor in front of Zhao Baiping, which shows that she treated Cui Hailu like her own daughter.
