Liu Yiyi naturally refused, and the two of them had an argument, which led to the scene just now.
Although she was smart, how could she be a match for a savage woman like Yang Wanyi? When she was accused of seducing Pei Yun, she didn't know how to refute for a moment and her face turned red with anger.
Yang Wanyi left the store and began to cry to the crowd.
"Fellow villagers, please judge for yourself! The silks in Jinyunfang are all the inheritance left by my husband Pei Yi!"
"My son Pei Mingde is Pei Yi's biological child, so he should have a share of this shop. Now Pei Yun wants to take over the family business for himself and even refuses to acknowledge me as his adoptive mother!"
As she spoke, she pushed Pei Yujiao forward. Pei Yujiao was born weak, and now she was even more tearful, sobbing:
"My brother is now a thousand households, and he is about to marry the prince's daughter. Naturally, he looks down on us poor relatives... But the silk in this shop is indeed what Dad left behind!"
The onlookers were talking about it, some were pointing, some were showing sympathy, and some were showing anger on their faces.
In this era, filial piety is more important than anything else. No matter how mean the adoptive mother is, she is still a "mother" in name. If Pei Yun really doesn't recognize her, his reputation will be ruined if the news gets out.
Pei Feng was also in the crowd. Listening to the discussions of the people around him, he suddenly felt refreshed. They just wanted to ruin Pei Yun's reputation. Pei Li had written a letter to the prince before, but there had been no response for such a long time. The letter should not reach the prince's hands.
Pei Yanshu came up with this idea. If the matter became a big deal and reached the prince's ears, he would definitely dislike Pei Yun.
As long as Pei Yun does not become the prince's son-in-law, but only has the status of a thousand households, it will not be that difficult for his Pei family to deal with him.
Moreover, if his reputation is ruined, he might not even be able to become a thousand households. Then the influence of the gentry will be used to suppress him. I don't believe that Pei Yun will not spit out silk and ceramics.
In Pei Yanshu's opinion, the reason why Pei Yun was so powerful was, firstly, because he was a thousand households, and secondly, because he was going to marry the prince's daughter.
If it weren't for these two identities, Pei Yun would just be a bandit. How could he fight against the gentry?
To ruin Pei Yun's reputation and make him have no place to stand is to kill him and destroy his heart!
