"Grandma Fu, stop making things worse." Pei Tai looked at the Fu mother and son with increasing disgust. Ever since the mother and son started causing trouble, the once-great Pei family was almost falling apart. "Enough, you lot, stop fighting. Do you think the Pei family hasn't made a big enough fool of itself? Do you want to attract the neighbors to watch the show?"
“We are still a family, so we should be rational and united against outsiders. What kind of behavior is it to fight and quarrel all day long? Pei Danfeng, if you don’t want to stay in your parents’ home, then go back to your husband’s home.”
Pei Danfeng stared at her father in disbelief. "Dad, I am your own daughter. Why are you speaking up for Cui Hailu, an outsider? She is not even as good as Fu Qingning before. At least Fu Qingning could make the Pei family rich. Cui Hailu didn't even have a dowry. She will only squander the Pei family's wealth."
"Or is it that you and Choi Hae-ro are having an affair? Is that why you can't bear to see Choi Hae-ro get hurt?"
Pei Tai's face darkened, and he angrily rebuked, "Shut up! The more you make a scene, the happier someone will be. Be careful of the camera and recorder she has. She can expose your ugly behavior to the public."
“Pei Danfeng, have I spoiled you too much? Your family home is too small to accommodate you. Go back to your husband’s family and reflect on your actions.”
Cui Hailu suppressed her anger and patiently persuaded her, "Dad is right, Danfeng, you need to be more rational. We should work together instead of falling for Fu Wanning and Old Madam Fu's divisive scheme."
"I'm truly innocent! If I had anything going on with Dad, would I still have married Zexing? You can't just convict me based on Old Madam Fu's one-sided story. Old Madam Fu would love for me to die!"
Fu Wanning and her mother, Old Madam Fu, have always been a hidden danger. It's not that she didn't notify her parents to come and deal with Old Madam Fu, but her parents were living a comfortable life and were traveling and didn't want to leave.
Fu Wanning was even more difficult to deal with, as she was impervious to both soft and hard approaches, but luckily managed to get in touch with a special department.
Pei Zexing was speechless; he had a black face the whole time and didn't even glance at Cui Hailu, as if she were a disgusting germ.
He'll never be allowed to touch that rotten woman again in this lifetime. Back then, he was almost able to convince Fu Qingning to marry him. If it weren't for Cui Hailu interfering, he and Fu Qingning would have gotten married long ago.
Zhao Baiping looked dissatisfied. Suspicious, she noticed something was off between Cui Hailu and Pei Tai. It was precisely because Cui Hailu was someone she had personally mentored that she felt even more angry and regretful.
She's definitely brought a vixen into her house.
"You old fool, are you even speaking human language? Our daughter went back to her husband's family and was still killed by her in-laws. They're trying to scheme against our daughter so they can get a divorce!"
She could tolerate her son-in-law having multiple wives and concubines, provided that her daughter remained firmly in the position of the principal wife.
She can accept other women, but she cannot accept that her daughter-in-law had an affair with her son-in-law.
This Cui Hailu is even more despicable and greedy than Fu Qingning, ruining her son and son-in-law.
"Or do you have a mistress outside? Have you even fathered illegitimate children? You, Pei Tai, have you been keeping a mistress behind my back? Although our Zhao family is not the direct line, we still represent the face of the five lower families. If you dare to betray me, I will take my son and daughter back to my parents' home and, like the Cheng family daughter of the upper five families, make them take my Zhao surname and become my family's descendants."
"Back then, your Pei family was just a declining family. If I hadn't married you, would your Pei family have been able to establish a connection with the lower five noble families?"
