Pei Tai frowned unhappily. When he was young, many people did mock him as a gigolo and a son-in-law of the Zhao family. When his parents-in-law were still alive, they ridiculed him a lot and compared him with other sons-in-law. He endured it with resentment and humiliation until his parents-in-law passed away, and then no one dared to mention the son-in-law in front of him.
"Fu Wanning, don't fan the flames, you're just making things more and more outrageous."
"What did I say? Or are you feeling guilty? Zhao Baiping, you need to investigate carefully to see if Pei Tai has any children outside who are fighting with Pei Zexing for the family fortune. Although the Pei family is penniless now, there's nothing to fight over." After saying that, Fu Wanning changed the subject, "Pei Danfeng, your own mother is advising you to be magnanimous and get used to sharing your husband with a young mistress. Be a virtuous and magnanimous wife. As long as it doesn't affect your position as the legal wife, just turn a blind eye."
Pei Danfeng looked constipated. Xie Jiaming dared to have a mistress and illegitimate child behind her back, so he might as well stay in jail. Just thinking about the relationship between the mistress and her mother-in-law, and the day the mistress and her son would come to provoke her, made her want to explode.
Grandma Fu's next words were like a bombshell: "Your legal wife might not be able to stay. Your in-laws have already promised the mistress that Xie Jiaming will divorce you and make her the legal wife. Once you divorce, the mistress will be taken to the Xie family. Anyway, you've already given birth to children for the Xie family. Even if you divorce, you can still get along well with the Pei family and support each other by relying on your children. This is what Cui Hailu and the others heard."
Cui Hailu was terrified and hurriedly explained to her best friend, "Danfeng, listen to me, it's not like that. Old Madam Fu wants to ruin our relationship. We're best friends, I would never lie to you. I just didn't want you to be too heartbroken, that's why I kept it from you..."
Pei Antong didn't care and was too lazy to continue pretending. Pei Guangzong was also flustered with guilt. The falling out between his aunt and Pei Danfeng meant that the Pei family, aunt and nephew, was walking on thin ice.
"Before she got together with Pei Zexing, she had an affair with your husband. Whether they had a secret relationship, I don't know." Regardless of whether Old Madam Fu's words were true or false, they were enough to ruin Cui Hailu's image in the Pei family.
Pei Zexing, who had been silent all along, became angry.
Pei Danfeng could no longer bear it and felt disgusted at being played by her best friend. "You, Cui Hailu, you are truly despicable. I must have been blind to consider you my best friend. You are not grateful at all. If it weren't for my matchmaking and my speaking well of you in front of my parents, you wouldn't be able to secure your position as a daughter-in-law in the Pei family."
"You ungrateful wretches! You and your niece are all ungrateful wretches! You used me, you ruined me! I'm not done with you yet! Give me back my husband..."
The once close sisters are now fighting, with Pei Danfeng beating Cui Hailu and hurling insults at her aunt and niece.
Cui Hailu didn't even have time to protest her innocence. She admitted that she knew the Xie family's secret, but she had seduced Xie Jiaming before Pei Danfeng started dating him. It didn't count as a third party interfering at all, because the Pei and Xie families had a good relationship. Back when they lived in the old house, it was evidence that Xie Jiaming and Pei Danfeng were childhood sweethearts who grew up together. Even after they moved, Xie Jiaming would visit the Pei family whenever he had free time.
Because her aunt was the Pei family's savior, she had met Xie Jiaming at the Pei family. At that time, Xie Jiaming was her first choice, while Pei Zexing was her second, because Pei Zexing was completely devoted to Fu Qingning, and she felt it was difficult for him to get involved.
Unfortunately, the Xie family required a marriage between people of equal social standing, so she had to settle for second best. If it weren't for this favor, she, a peasant from the city, wouldn't even have been able to enter the Pei family's gate.
Pei Danfeng went berserk, "You've ruined my marriage, I'll beat you to death..."
