Pei Danfeng knew her daughter's character; that sharp tongue of hers was particularly unforgiving, and she didn't even try to hide her scheming against others. Now, she was caught red-handed by Madam Sheng and Qin Feifei. However, even she didn't expect that the daughter-in-law Madam Sheng acknowledged was actually Qin Feifei, whom her daughter had once flattered. Qin Feifei's affairs had been widely discussed in Beijing's social circles.
If it were her, then the daughter would have absolutely no chance.
“Madam Sheng, why be so aggressive? Can’t you talk things out? Why do you have to hit my daughter? No matter what, my nephew is a regimental commander, and my nephew’s wife is a member of the Gu family. Even if your Sheng family doesn’t care about the monk, you should at least care about the Buddha. No matter how bad my Pei family is, we are still related to the Gu family by marriage.”
Upon hearing this, Madam Sheng hesitated for a moment. She could look down on Pei Danfeng and her daughter, but she could not ignore the powerful backers behind them. The Gu family was the head of the five great families. Although she disliked the Gu siblings, she had to maintain appearances.
Seeing that Madam Sheng was intimidated, Pei Danfeng was quite smug. "Madam Sheng, aren't you afraid that I'll tell the Gu family and they'll come after you? If things really escalate, your Sheng family won't come out on top. Don't make things difficult between the two families."
Despite her resentment towards Gu Wanwan, Xie Meigui had no choice but to bring up Gu Wanwan and Fu Jingchen to suppress her. "Qin Feifei, even if you have the Sheng family backing you up, I still have the Gu family behind me. Did I show off my arrogance?"
Pei Antong couldn't stand seeing the mother and daughter so smug, so she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Madam Sheng, don't be fooled by Pei Danfeng and her daughter. Princess Gu looks down on the Pei family, and Fu Jingchen is not a child of the Pei family. He has no blood relation to the Pei family whatsoever. On the contrary, the Fu siblings hate the Pei family to the bone and would never support the Pei family. The reason they said that is just to scare you."
Pei Danfeng panicked, wishing she could strangle the other woman. "You brat, you dare to ruin my plans! I'll tear your stinking mouth apart!"
"Stop making excuses. How would I know about your scandalous affairs? It was Gu Wanwan and Fu Wanning who told me. It seems those two sisters-in-law really dislike you." Qin Feifei, without any restraint from Madam Sheng, proceeded to give Pei Danfeng and her daughter another beating.
Aunt Feng was equally ruthless, torturing the mother and daughter mercilessly to make them clearly realize the consequences of opposing Qin Feifei.
Pei Antong felt extremely satisfied watching this, and wished that Pei Danfeng and her daughter would be crippled.
Her goal was simple: to use Qin Feifei to deal with Xie Meigui, and then reap the benefits herself.
She watched from the sidelines, basking in her own smug satisfaction.
Little did she know, her little schemes could not escape the eyes of Madam Sheng and Aunt Feng. Aunt Feng walked up to the gloating Pei Antong and slapped her twice across the face.
Pei Antong was stunned by the beating. "Madam Sheng, what are you doing? I know my place very well. I have already abandoned Chief Sheng and even helped you expose Pei Danfeng and her daughter. Why are you still hitting me? I am on your side and support Chief Sheng and Qin Feifei."
"Feifei is naive and unaware of your wicked intentions. I'm not easily fooled." Madam Sheng maintained her contemptuous attitude and swept her critical gaze over Pei Antong. "Your mother is a mistress who has risen to power. Don't think I don't know. If it weren't for the fact that your Pei and Xie families are collateral relatives of the lower five families, you would have died eight hundred times over. I'm warning you, don't you dare ruin my daughter-in-law's important plans."
