Neither side would back down, each sticking to their own version of events.
Pei Tai turned to Fu Wanning, who seemed unconcerned, and asked, "Wanning, is what they said true?"
Old Mrs. Fu felt her heart pounding with anxiety, as if she were about to faint. Given Fu Wan Ning's protectiveness towards her brother and sister-in-law, she would definitely take the opportunity to get rid of them.
"Half of it is true. That old hag did say a lot of bad things about my brother and sister-in-law to me, and we did have a conflict." Fu Wanning curled her lips. She couldn't do what they wanted. How could she not do something that would upset her stepmother and her two stepsisters? "I've never heard of any life-saving grace being fake. It's probably because Cui Hailu and the others felt that the treatment was too bad and couldn't tolerate Old Madam Fu and her son, so they just made up an excuse to get you to kick them out."
Grandma Fu never expected Fu Wanning to speak up for her. Could it be that her brainwashing had worked?
Fu Wanning is quite sensible; she knows that the enemy of her enemy is her friend.
Very good, we've taken another step closer to getting rid of Cui Hailu and the other two.
Fu Yuzhong was completely bewildered. Fu Wanning was clearly acting strangely; just moments ago she had been baring her teeth at them, mother and son, as if she intended to avenge her brother and sister-in-law.
Pei Guangzong and Pei Antong stared in disbelief at Fu Wanning's blatant lies. "No, you clearly asked her..."
“Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, we swear we’re not lying. There’s something wrong with the kindness shown to Grandma Fu.”
Fu Wanning raised an eyebrow. "If Old Madam Fu's kindness is fake, then she must be doing it for the Cui family. She wants to send Cui Hailu to the Pei family so that she can get close to them, exchange the child, marry Pei Zexing, have children, help the Cui family get rid of their peasant status, and then let her son inherit the Pei family."
"The Cui family is the one who enjoys all the benefits. Old Mrs. Fu didn't get any advantages. What did she gain? If I were her, I would definitely let my own daughter get to know Pei Zexing. A daughter is better than a niece. A niece will turn around and bite you."
Grandma Fu's pupils dilated. She knew that brat had no kind words. She had been happily thinking that they were on the same side, but she had gone and started analyzing the other layer of scheming behind the favor for the Pei family.
As expected of Fu Jingchen's younger sister, she's just as annoying as he is.
Cui Hailu was terrified and quickly stopped the farce. If they continued, the truth would be revealed. "Mom and Dad, Zexing, it might be a misunderstanding. Guangzong and Antong are just being immature. I apologize to Grandma Fu on their behalf."
Fu Wanning casually remarked, "An explanation? It's just a cover-up."
Old Mrs. Fu and Cui Hailu and others wished they could strangle Fu Wanning on the spot.
At this moment, Zhao Baiping could no longer distinguish between truth and falsehood, but she no longer blindly believed in Old Lady Fu.
On the surface, Pei Tai and his son did not question her, but in private they decided to send someone to investigate the truth of what happened back then. If they found that Old Madam Fu had deceived them, the Pei family would never let the mother and son and the Cui family off the hook.
Zhao Baiping looked at Old Madam Fu without saying a word, and upon closer inspection, she saw disappointment and doubt in her eyes. Later, after Pei Tai said something to her, the three of them left Fu Wanning's room.
Fu Wanning glanced at the group of people who were furious. "Tsk tsk, Grandma Fu, it seems your treatment is going to be worse too!"
Grandma Fu gritted her teeth, "Whose side are you on? Haven't you always wanted to drive Cui Hailu away?"
