Pei Tai and the others naturally took note and wanted to drive away the neighbors, but Fu Wan Ning disagreed.
"Then let's close all the windows and doors. After all, this is a matter between the Pei and Du families."
"You have the guts to do it, but not the guts to admit it. Are you afraid of people finding out? No matter what, let everyone hear what your grandson Pei Guangzong has done." The speaker was Du Lixue's older brother, who was now furious. "Your Pei family must give our Du family an explanation."
Because of this scandal, the Du family became a laughing stock in Beijing's social circles.
Unable to bear it any longer, Du Lixue rushed over, abandoning all ladylike decorum, and started grabbing and hitting Pei Guangzong. "You scumbag, don't you know what it means to part amicably? Do I have to teach you? I really regret dating you. A fake is a fake. You don't deserve to be associated with my Du family. What kind of dog are you? If it weren't for your generosity, I wouldn't have bothered with you!"
"There are men lining up to pursue me all over the street. Do you think the Pei family is so powerful? Madam Pei is just a married-out daughter. Your Pei family is nothing more than a collateral branch of a lower-ranking family. Do you really think you're the direct descendant?"
"You almost ruined my Du family. I'm warning you, don't even think about ever seeing you again. I find you disgusting. Being engaged to you is a misfortune for my Du family."
Not satisfied with just one beating, she called her brother to help her beat him up.
Cui Hailu couldn't bear to see her nephew being beaten, so she rushed over to stop him. "Lixue, let's talk this out. Guangzong is your future husband. You two should support each other. How can you hurt each other? Listen to your mother, calm down, and sit down to talk things over."
"I'll talk about your mother!" Du Lixue saw through Cui Hailu's sinister face and stepped in to tear Cui Hailu apart. "You shameless mistress! If you hadn't interfered in the relationship between Uncle Pei and Fu Qingning's mother, they would have been married long ago. Everyone, take a look. When choosing a wife, choose a virtuous one. Beware of this kind of vixen entering the house and causing trouble, disrupting the peace of the household."
"You still expect me to marry Pei Guangzong? Why don't you just go to heaven? Bah... Your nephew deserves to suffer in the countryside. Don't worry, I'll use my connections to take good care of him."
"How dare you?" Cui Hailu roared, "A woman should obey her husband after marriage. You are being disobedient and unfaithful to your husband."
The aunt and niece were like leeches, sucking the Du family dry. Du Lixue was disgusted to death. "This is a new society, not the old feudal society. I, Du Lixue, will never marry Pei Guangzong. A peasant is only fit to marry a village girl. I advise you not to even dream about it. Even if you marry me, Pei Guangzong will still have to go to the countryside. I must be stupid to go to the countryside with him. With his toad-like appearance, I want to vomit in my dreams."
Despite being hit, Pei Guangzong suppressed his anger and didn't explode. "Lixue, no matter how much you hate me, you can hit me or scold me, but please don't harm the baby, okay?"
Pei Tai raised his voice and quickly tried to smooth things over, "Since you already have a child, it's time to put the marriage on the agenda. It concerns the reputation of both families, so Lixue, don't act impulsively. I assure you, as long as you marry Guangzong, Guangzong will always be the grandson recognized by the Pei family. I have already severed ties with the Fu siblings, and even if they regret it in the future, my Pei family will never accept them."
“If you don’t believe me, I can publish a statement in the newspaper announcing Guangzong’s status. He’s not a peasant; he’s worthy of you.”
Zhao Baiping thought the marriage was a done deal and subconsciously wanted to lecture her, "Lixue, a daughter-in-law shouldn't yell at her elders like that. Cui Hailu is still a member of the Pei family. If you hit her, you're disgracing the Pei family. You need to change your temper in the future."
"Since you're pregnant, you should get married sooner rather than later. Otherwise, if your belly gets bigger, people will misunderstand and think you're doing something indecent. If you get arrested, it won't be worth it. I'll make the decision for you two today. Get your marriage certificate first, and then have a banquet!"
