After much deliberation, Pei Tai and his son decided to discipline Fu Jingchen according to the Pei family's rules. As for Fu Jingchen's educated youth partner, they would skip that and the Pei family would find him a suitable match.
Xu Luoxue didn't like him. The Xu family was the in-laws of the Gu family, one of the top five noble families. They could use Fu Jingchen to arrange a marriage.
Before that, the Pei family had to break up the couple. As a member of the Pei family, Fu Jingchen should contribute to the family. This is the value of Fu Jingchen's existence. As for the Pei family's property, it was all left to Pei Yaozu. The Pei family should be grateful that Fu Jingchen was able to recognize his ancestors and return to the family. He should not covet the property that did not belong to him.
If Wan Jie and Chen Ge knew what the Pei family was thinking, they would only complain, "Does the Pei family even have any inheritance? They're making it seem like the Pei family is a hot commodity that they absolutely have to acknowledge."
"Forget about Guangzong. He's the son-in-law of the Du family and will be getting married soon. He doesn't need to go to the countryside for the wedding. Let Antong accompany Wan Ning to the countryside." In reality, Pei Tai wanted Pei Antong to monitor Fu Wan Ning.
Pei Antong had schemed so much to avoid being sent to the countryside, but after visiting the educated youth office, she couldn't escape the Pei family's decision. "Grandpa, I don't want to! I'll die if I go to the Northwest! There's a shortage of food there, and we can't even take a bath. It's so smelly! No way, no way..."
When it came to her biological daughter's future, Cui Hailu hurriedly advised, "Zexing, Antong is spoiled and can't handle this. Otherwise, we'll find her a good marriage. Once she's married, no one will be able to find fault with her."
"You're just a country bumpkin coming to the city, while Wan Ning is a true city dweller. You're not good enough, but Wan Ning is? She already had a job, but you all forced her to go to the countryside. What did Wan Ning do wrong? The mistake is having a wicked stepmother like Cui Hailu, who caused her to be separated from Fu Jingchen and his sister." To win Fu Wan Ning's favor, Old Madam Fu spoke up for her, while also reprimanding the three delusional Cui Hailu.
It's a pity we couldn't kill Pei Guangzong.
“She’s lost her innocence. Even if she’s a virgin, which family would dare to marry Pei Antong? She’s vain, has a bad temper, and even dares to insult her. No wealthy family would marry a troublemaker into their family.”
Fu Wanning naturally didn't believe Old Madam Fu's good intentions. "Look, this is what a human being says. Old Madam Fu has already put aside her own family for the greater good. Pei Antong, you shouldn't struggle anymore. In the end, you'll be the one going to the countryside anyway. You can't just freeload and wait to die in the Pei family. The Pei family is not what it used to be. They won't spoil you or allow you to squander your money recklessly!"
“Your maternal grandmother’s family has fallen, and no one will support you and your mother anymore. The Pei family can’t support a bunch of useless people, can they? And let me tell you, you only have marriage left. With the Pei family’s financial situation, they can’t afford to buy you a job. Your reputation is only good enough to marry an older widower. You can’t count on a scion of a prominent family. It would be a disgrace for them to marry you.”
Pei Antong was furious. She secretly decided to strike first and send someone to the educated youth office to report Fu Wanning. She was determined to make the educated youth office send Fu Wanning to the countryside so that she could finally put her mind at ease.
Fu Wanning could guess Pei Antong's filthy thoughts with her toes. Sorry, the educated youth office was under the command of a special department, and as the secretary of the head of the special department, was she proud of it?
In the end, Pei Tai made the final decision: "Put the rural trip aside for now. Have someone bring Fu Jingchen back to the Pei family tomorrow. No matter what, the Pei family has to give him an explanation."
Pei Guangzong's expression changed drastically. "What if he tries to take everything from me? Grandpa, don't forget, he has offended the Gu and Xu families."
Seeing that the time was right, Old Mrs. Fu cleared her throat and said, "Actually, there's something I've thought about and decided to tell you, which is..."
