"That's right, Young Master Zhen is the most handsome man I've ever seen. He's even more handsome than He Wenyan, who's famous in Beijing. His girlfriend is just as beautiful as him. They're a perfect match. But where is she? I just saw her."
"I saw it too. They're a perfect match, both talented and beautiful. They don't look like peasants at all. You can tell a lot about a person by their demeanor. This couple looks like important people, much more imposing than Battalion Commander Du."
"Probably because I'm a military family member, I look a bit like a military officer; in any case, I'm definitely not an ordinary worker."
"..."
Grandma Fu naturally wouldn't tell Cui Hailu and the others that Fu Jingchen was a military officer, nor did she ever intend to have Fu Jingchen acknowledge his ancestors. At this moment, Fu Jingchen and Gu Wanwan were still in Xiangyang Village and it was impossible for them to appear in Beijing.
It can only be said that someone is spreading rumors. If Fu Wanning and Fu Jingchen were to recognize each other beforehand, then her trick of sowing discord would fail.
When the Pei family learned that the scandal had been witnessed by onlookers, they felt as if the sky was about to fall.
"You, you..."
Cui Hailu was struck dumb. There was no way to clear her name now. Everyone knew that her own aunt had exposed her and knew about the wrong things the Cui family had done. There was no need to wait until tomorrow; by the afternoon, the entire city of Beijing would know that Pei Guangzong was a fake young master.
If the Du family can't tolerate it, Pei Guangzong's life will be ruined.
"You're all in cahoots with Fu Wanning. You've never even met Fu Jingchen, so why are you speaking up for him..."
The onlookers looked at her with disdain and just watched her make excuses; they simply didn't believe her.
"Young Master Zhen and his wife just came down here because he and Fu Wanning look very alike. You can tell they are siblings just by their appearance."
"Now I finally understand why the real young master didn't go in to acknowledge his sister. He knows the Pei family is unreliable and harbors resentment towards them. After all, the Pei family is biased and has been tormenting his own sister. Now that the truth is out, why didn't they kick the fake young master out?"
"Is the Pei family planning to raise the real young master and the fake young master under the same roof? Aren't they afraid they'll fight each other? Or are they choosing to continue tolerating the fake young master because they want to salvage the marriage with the Du family?"
“Whether he resents it or not is one thing. Young Master Zhen has no intention of acknowledging the Pei family. You didn’t see it just now, but when Zhao Baiping learned that Young Master Zhen was living in the countryside, she frowned. It’s obvious that she dislikes Young Master Zhen. It’s right that Young Master Zhen didn’t come back.”
"That Du Lixue doesn't know her worth. Luckily, the man she's engaged to isn't a real young master, otherwise he wouldn't be able to tolerate her temper. Pei Guangzong is only marrying up to her because of the Du family behind her; it's just a business relationship."
"..."
Saying too much leads to mistakes, but saying nothing also leads to mistakes, causing the Pei family and Cui Hailu to lose their composure.
Old Mrs. Fu coldly watched Cui Hailu and the other two suffer their retribution. She thought that ungrateful bastards didn't deserve happiness. It would be best if they ended up like her, divorced, abandoned by everyone, and becoming homeless ghosts. Only then could the resentment in her heart dissipate a little.
Du Lixue was furious when she was publicly called out. She couldn't stand being criticized for her poor taste. "So what if Pei Guangzong isn't my biological son? You all said it yourselves, my fiancé is him. What does he have to do with the real young master? It's not like we were betrothed since birth. In today's society, marriage is free, and arranged marriages are forbidden. My fiancé is Pei Guangzong. The real young master doesn't get any advantage. His background is unknown. Even if he is the real young master, he's not good enough for me."
"I, Du Lixue, would never fall in love with someone else. Don't insult my love!"
