"For the sake of our 20-year relationship as aunt and niece, please help your aunt this once. Your aunt really doesn't want to be a widow."
"Please, this is the most humble request I, Pei Danfeng, have ever made in my life. If you are willing to help me, I will do anything for you from now on. Whatever you want, I will try my best to satisfy you. I am willing to apologize for what I did to you in the past. It was my fault back then."
To save her husband, Pei Danfeng went to great lengths, even abandoning all pretense of decency.
This kneeling was a heavy slap in the face to the entire Pei family, an admission of the fact that they had mistreated Fu Wanning.
Zhao Baiping was exasperated, feeling that her daughter was desperate and had tried anything without proper guidance.
Pei Tai and Pei Zexing also thought Pei Danfeng was incredibly stupid. She knew that Fu Wanning resented the Pei family and would never help her, yet she still knelt down and begged. Just wait and see, Fu Wanning would definitely use this opportunity to humiliate her and the Pei family.
Cui Hailu and the other two believed that Pei Danfeng had knelt for nothing, saying, "Fu Wanning is just playing with you!"
Unexpectedly, Fu Wanning readily agreed, "Seeing how sincere you are, I'll help you out. I won't let you become a widow, and I'll make sure your husband gets a lighter sentence so he doesn't have to eat peanuts."
"By the way, don't call yourself aunt, we're not related."
If you ask her if she truly believes Pei Danfeng has reformed and admitted her mistakes, the answer is definitely no!
Pei Danfeng didn't admit her mistake; rather, she knew her husband was on the verge of death, so she was able to bend and stretch, kneeling down in public.
Once Xie Jiaming regains his freedom, Pei Danfeng will reveal her true nature again. Her current forbearance, bowing her head, and compromising are all an act.
Pei Danfeng was very dissatisfied with the result. "Are you playing me? I've already knelt down to you, what more do you want?"
Fu Wanning glanced at her coldly, "Do you know how serious your husband's crimes are? He's ruined several families, not just my grandfather. Just the fact that he's having affairs is enough to give him a hard time, not to mention his embezzlement, bribery, and even murder. Are you sure you don't want to be criticized? A few wouldn't be enough."
"Besides, am I fulfilling your wish not to become a widow? Your husband is just not reunited with you, not dead. Besides, do you think he'll fall in love with you, an old woman who's past her prime, once he's gone? He's an old man who's taken advantage of young women, with a young wife and son. He might not even bother coming home to face your old face. Your youngest son and eldest grandson are the apple of your eye, you'll have to get used to it!"
“If I were you, I would go back to the Xie family immediately, divorce them, and sever all ties with them to avoid being implicated by them. Since Xie’s parents-in-law and Xie Jiaming dote on his mistress and her son, let them take her into the family. We can share happiness and hardship together. That’s what makes a complete family.”
Pei Danfeng frowned, her expression furious. She and Xie Jiaming had been childhood sweethearts and had shared a bed for over twenty years. Although Xie Jiaming had become less gentle with her as they grew older, they had weathered many storms together, and she couldn't just get a divorce like that.
Even though she knew her husband was cheating on her, her in-laws disliked her, liked the mistress and her son, and strongly demanded that she get a divorce, she never even considered divorce. How could she possibly get a divorce just because of a few words from Fu Wanning?
