Pei Tai and the other two were still unaware of the seriousness of the situation. "What exactly happened?"
At first, Cui Hailu felt a little guilty, but compared to the suffering her nephew was about to endure, that guilt seemed insignificant. "Perhaps Lixue has come to her senses and is preparing to marry Guangzong. Mom and Dad, this is a great thing for our Pei family."
Pei Antong couldn't hide her schadenfreude. She would only feel relieved and happy if Pei Guangzong's deeds were exposed. "It's a bad thing, isn't it? Originally, the Du family and the Pei family could get along peacefully, but after you two aunt and nephew did this, the two families will probably become enemies."
Her biological mother and Pei Guangzong never hid their schemes from her. She watched as her biological mother busied herself with everything for her nephew, just to protect his position in the Pei family and to help him escape being sent to the countryside, while completely ignoring her, his own daughter.
Pei Guangzong watched Cui Hailu take care of everything for him and took it all for granted. He even broke off relations with his cousin in private and said to his own mother that she was a money-losing daughter who was going to marry out of the country. His mother didn't react at all, probably because she agreed with her nephew's nonsense.
At that moment, her heart turned ice-cold. Cui Hailu had gone mad for her nephew, unaware that her current actions were no different from those of Old Lady Fu back then. Her own mother was gradually approaching the fate of Old Lady Fu.
In the end, he was abandoned by everyone. The selfish and self-serving nature of the Cui family was fully embodied in Pei Guangzong.
Did her own mother think she was helping Pei Guangzong? No, she was only pushing herself and Pei Guangzong toward destruction.
She would watch all of this unfold without intervening or pleading, simply because she overheard Pei Guangzong suggesting to his mother that she be sent to the bed of the old man who led the company, to become his mistress in secret, in exchange for Pei Guangzong's future.
Her biological mother didn't refuse at the time; instead, she considered the possibility of it. From that moment on, she knew that all the blood ties were fake, and that she was just a stepping stone for Pei Guangzong to rise to power.
“Pei Zexing, your wife is really something this time. She was worried that her nephew would suffer in the countryside, so she took a huge risk. The two of them are incredibly audacious and spread the word everywhere that Du Lixue is pregnant with Pei Guangzong’s child. People are going to come after them.”
When Pei Tai and the other two heard about this, their first reaction was not to care about Du Lixue's innocence, but to wonder if the two had really gotten together.
"You really touched Lixie?"
Once the deal is done, things will be easier to discuss, and the marriage can be arranged. After all the twists and turns, the two families will eventually become in-laws, which will strengthen their bond and elevate their relationship to a higher level.
Seeing Pei Guangzong's expression, the Pei family members felt somewhat better; Pei Guangzong had finally done something worthwhile.
They were too happy too soon; they didn't realize it was a rumor.
Du Lixue's shouts and threats unsurprisingly attracted the attention of onlookers, who rushed to the Fu family to watch the show, some even bringing melon seeds and stools.
Now that the Fu family has no bodyguards on guard, and Fu Wanning is a 'warm and hospitable' person who welcomes onlookers, they were able to wait in the courtyard without any hindrance, finding various spots to watch the drama unfold.
