"He hasn't seen you all these years because he wants to protect you. But you also think that he really deserves to die?"
Madam Pei: "Of course my brother shouldn't die!"
"But he shouldn't live like this!"
"The children of our Pei family, the souls and bloodlines of our Pei family, and all the heroes of our Pei family from generation to generation, they protect the stability of the country and the people of the world!"
"Although he is dead, the Pei family's innocence will remain forever!"
"And even if I die cleanly, it's still better than living in darkness and harming others!"
"As for who killed him, I owe him. If I knew the truth, I would avenge him even if it cost me my life!"
"You turned him into this, a puppet for your selfish benefit. Do you think I should still like you?!"
Zaina was devastated.
He sat down with a pale face, completely destroying the belief he had always held in his heart.
"Did I...really do something wrong..."
Mrs. Pei turned her face away.
The pain made me cry.
Prince Su looked at Leng Dian. After a long while, Pei Sanlang was dragged up.
Li Qingluo looked at Pei Sanlang and saw that he had changed into a clean set of clothes, the wound on his hand had been temporarily treated, and even his messy hair had been combed and washed.
Li Qingluo nodded gratefully to Prince Su. His grandmother probably wouldn't feel sorry for him seeing him like this.
Unexpectedly, when Mrs. Pei saw Pei Sanlang for the first time, she went up and slapped him in the face.
"brute!"
"You bastard!"
"The Pei family actually gave birth to a foolish, ignorant, vicious and evil creature like you. This is truly the greatest misfortune for my third brother!"
Pei Qinghong looked at the scene in front of him in astonishment, and looked at Old Madam Pei without saying a word.
Li Qingluo was afraid that he didn't know who his grandmother was, so she introduced her: "This is my grandmother, and she is also your grandfather's biological sister."
Pei Qinghong: "Aunt, Auntie... I wonder what my nephew has done wrong? Everything I do is according to my great grandfather's orders. I just want to earn a brighter future for the Pei family. What's wrong with that?"
"Our Pei family has been loyal to the emperor and patriotic for generations, but in return, we have all died tragically. Shouldn't we hate them?"
"Grandma has never interfered with the Pei family's affairs in these years, so she shouldn't be scolding us so righteously now."
He seemed unaware of his mistakes.
Madam Pei smiled coldly.
"So, your solution is to depose the Crown Prince? Supporting the deposed Crown Prince to reinstate him, and then ascending to that position in the future, will give the Pei family a brighter future?"
Pei San said nothing.
Madam Pei said, "So, brother resolutely gave up all his military power, even if it meant dragging his sick body into a demon, even if it meant destroying so many innocent maids in the Pei Mansion and killing even more innocent women, just for this lousy plan!?"
"The current emperor was afraid of the Pei family back then, so he was willing to purge them, guard against them, and deal with them. Doesn't his son know how to do that?!"
Pei San: "Of course not—!"
Madam Pei stared at him.
"What is that?"
Pei San fell silent again.
He just gritted his teeth and turned his head away stubbornly.
Madam Pei turned and looked at Zaina again: "Then will you tell me or not? I'll give you a chance, don't you have to tell me everything?"
Zaina glanced at Pei San: "This..."
Madam Pei: "Are you connected to the Lotus Cult? Are you using the Lotus Cult to overthrow the dynasty and seek revenge?"
Zaina: "No. Of course not!"
Li Qingluo pressed on, "Then how did you end up in the Lotus Sect's hands?"
Pei Sanlang became emotional: "No, you can't say...you can't say!"
Zaina closed her eyes and said, "I was taken away."
"A few years ago, when Pei Lang became increasingly confused, I also gradually became unable to move."
"In fact, Pei Lang had already wanted to end his life at that time. Every time he was sober, he had the thought of not living with me anymore."
"But I'm a child Gu, so if he dies, I'll die with him."
"So even if he persisted all these years, it was all for me! The lives of those women he killed later were also killed for my sake..."
"However, before we could make up our minds, my...my sister appeared."
"My elder sister came to the Pei Mansion to look for me. She deceived me and took me out of the Pei family. Then, for the past few years, I have been locked up by her."
Li Qingluo: "Your sister? You mean, she's also a witch doctor, right? She also knows how to use poison?"
Zaina: "Yes. And my elder sister's poison technique has always been very powerful. She is more talented than me and is more favored by the master."
"So, she could have unknowingly poisoned all the men in the Pei Mansion with a kind of Gu that could draw the silk."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this!
All the men in Pei Mansion!?
Are they all poisoned? !?
Is Zaina's sister really that powerful and terrifying?!
Pei Sanlang cried out in a shrill and dejected voice: "No..."
All the darkness and weakness of the Pei family were now exposed to the light...
