Cui Hailu patted her best friend's shoulder and sighed, "Danfeng, don't say anything more. If Wan Ning gets angry, she'll ask us for twenty years' worth of rent again."
Pei Danfeng, still not remembering the slap, still thought Fu Wanning was easy to manipulate. "Is she even human? The Pei family raised her for twenty years. Is it necessary to be so petty? It's really petty. If you ask me, she should take out the property certificate and change the name to the Pei family to repay the twenty years of nurturing. What kind of granddaughter asks her elders for rent? It'll make people laugh if word gets out!"
Pei Guangzong had witnessed Pei Danfeng's prowess firsthand. "Auntie, that brat is quite something. You'd better teach her a lesson for us."
"The debt of raising you? Do you believe that? Who raised whom? Do you want me to settle accounts with you one by one?" Fu Wanning reached out and patted Pei Danfeng's cheek. "Do you really think I'm fighting alone? You idiot, a fool who was used by Cui Hailu and her niece. Your husband has been arrested. Do you want to go in too? I heard that as soon as the Pigeon Tail Society heard that your husband was in trouble, they immediately fired him and issued a statement to sever ties. Your in-laws have become rats in the street. Former relatives and friends are all avoiding you, afraid of being implicated by the Xie family."
"Do you still think you're so high and mighty, a daughter of the Pei family and a daughter-in-law of the Xie family? Remember your place and your situation. One day you, Pei Danfeng, will be begging me on your knees."
"Don't mess with me. We have no relationship whatsoever. You can't morally blackmail me. Are you pointing your finger at me and asking me to break it for you?"
Pei Danfeng's eyes turned bloodshot with anger. "It was you who did this! Give me back my husband! You jinx! You've ruined my in-laws' lives! If anything happens to my husband, I won't let you get away with this!"
Fu Wanning raised an eyebrow, not angry but amused, "If you want revenge, go find your good friend Cui Hailu, your dear nephew Pei Guangzong, and your most filial mother. They are the ones who really harmed you. Without your parents' tacit approval and your good friend's instigation, your husband wouldn't have died so quickly and could have struggled for a while!"
"They wanted to use you two to frame me, but you got caught red-handed by the special department. Who can you blame? Your husband might get away with it one day, but he won't get away with it the next. The special department has been watching him for a while now, since he wrongly accused my great-grandfather and great-grandmother. Everyone else keeps a low profile, but he came to our door to cause trouble in such a big way. Who else should they arrest?"
"Ask yourself honestly, how many people has your husband offended, schemed against, and wronged over the years? It was Cui Hailu and her niece who were vengeful and caused your marriage to break apart. They only wanted to ruin me and didn't care about your safety or that of your husband's family at all."
"And your parents, if something happens to your in-laws, do you think they'll sever ties with you in the newspaper? You know what kind of people your parents are."
When Cui Hailu saw Fu Wanning pass the buck back to her in a few words, she was a little confused. "Danfeng, I didn't know this would happen. Don't be fooled by Fu Wanning. She wants us sisters to fall out."
Zhao Baiping and Pei Tai did indeed have such thoughts. The Pei family members are all selfish and self-serving. Even their most beloved daughter would be painfully abandoned when it comes to life and death.
“I am Cui Hailu’s aunt, and I know her personality best. In fact, she doesn’t consider you a sister at all. When I visited her before, she complained to me in private that you love to meddle in other people’s business. Even though you are both married out of the family, you always want to interfere in your husband’s family’s affairs. If it weren’t for the fact that you can help her mediate the conflicts between her husband’s family and stand with her, Cui Hailu would not be willing to flatter you.”
"Cui Hailu despises you. She says you're arrogant and willful. She, Pei Guangzong, and Pei Antong all laugh at you in private for being stupid, treating the imposter like a nephew. They also laugh at you for not being able to control your husband's heart. No wonder your husband goes out to find other women, and the women he's with are young girls who serve tea and water at the Pigeon Tail. She didn't tell you any of this, did she? And you still consider her a good friend."
“All three of them, including Cui Hailu, knew it, but you were kept in the dark.”
Pei Danfeng's expression changed as she watched Cui Hailu.
