Chapter 200: Confiscation and Exile Control Group 6
It would be a lie to say that General Pei and the people in the first wife were not disappointed, but after all, they were their own children and they had to protect them!
Madam Pei said sarcastically, "It's okay for a child to hide a few cakes to satisfy his cravings. Xinlan is really sharp-eyed!"
Madam Pei was not to be outdone: "It has been ten days since we were imprisoned in the prison, and Xinmei was still able to get cakes. I think she is quite capable.
I'm afraid my sister-in-law ate a lot of it while she was in prison, so no wonder she looked down on those black-faced steamed buns."
During those days in prison, the space was so small that Pei Xinmei was afraid of being discovered, so she didn't dare to eat any cakes.
Just now, while no one was paying attention, I secretly broke the pastry into small pieces and stuffed them into my mouth. Who would have thought that Pei Xinlan would find out so quickly!
Pei Xinmei glared at Pei Xinlan fiercely, but Pei Xinlan smiled at her, not taking it seriously at all!
I was still thinking in my mind, I have pointed out the abnormality to the people who came to monitor me, just focus on that one person.
The general's mansion was moved so cleanly that anyone could see the problem.
Now that Pei Xinlan has pointed out the abnormality, it can not only divert the attention of those monitoring the Pei family!
Even if the other members of the Pei family can't remember it for a while, they will be able to discover the strangeness after some time!
While they were still bickering, General Pei roared, "Shut up! Zheng, I just want to ask you one thing: are you going to give the things to the old lady or not?"
In the mansion, it is the eldest family who is now managing the household affairs."
The old lady still said, "You can give them some to use, but you can't hand it over!"
Seeing that the old lady was unmoved, the old general continued, "Aren't these for the eldest and second sons' families, as well as the things sent by the Lin family?
You've already ignored your second brother for this little thing, right?
Then don’t blame me for being cruel. Have you thought it through?
Second brother, do you agree too?"
The old lady didn't want to give all the things to the eldest family because only by saving her life first can she consider the matter of reputation. If she lost her life, it would be useless to say anything!
Who knows how many things will happen along the way. If we take them all out, the old lady will not feel at ease!
What the old general is doing now is really chilling.
The second son is also his son. Now he really doesn’t care about anything for the sake of the eldest son’s family!
Master Pei II looked at Madam Pei. In fact, he understood what his mother was thinking.
His mother had been married to his father all his life, and he couldn't bear to see her being divorced at the last moment!
It’s not that I’m afraid of what impact this will have on me.
But once his mother was divorced, all the married-out daughters of the Lin family would be implicated, and Master Pei II didn't want his mother to bear such a stigma!
Master Pei turned around and knelt in front of General Pei. Everyone thought that Master Pei was begging for mercy, even General Pei thought so.
The eldest wife of the Pei family all looked like they were watching the fun. General Pei also put on the attitude he had when he was still in the general's mansion. Then he heard Master Pei II say:
"Father, Mother has been with you all her life and has never broken any of the seven grounds for divorce.
Today, it’s just that you, father, don’t want my elder brother to suffer. You want him to have something to rely on so that he doesn’t have to look at other people’s faces!
But I think that I have respected my brother very much over the years and have never competed with him for anything.
Even back then, father, you wanted my eldest brother to inherit the general's mansion, and even though my martial arts talent was better than my eldest brother's, you didn't allow me to practice martial arts.
Without a second thought, I gave up martial arts and turned to literature!
My mother has always been devoted to my eldest brother. From childhood to adulthood, my mother has never treated him harshly.
What's more, after the eldest sister-in-law came into the family, he gave the housekeeping power to her!
Don’t talk about divorce today, we haven’t even left Kyoto yet!
I think it wouldn't be difficult if I could trouble the officers to report this to the Zheng Mansion!"
Master Pei II paused, then continued, "As long as the Zheng family arrives, you won't be able to divorce your wife!
It's really not worth it for such a small thing.
Father, why don’t we divide the family property and give mother to me. In the future, your elder brother will take care of you in your old age, and I will take care of mother in her old age!
This way, you don't have to worry about your mother mistreating your eldest brother's family.
My eldest brother is a capable man. Without our family as a burden, I think he will be able to live a better life!"
General Pei never expected that his son, whom he had always ignored, would say such words.
It clearly pointed out the unfairness he had treated Zheng and the second house over the years.
He also secretly threatened him that if he wanted to divorce his wife, the Zheng family in the nearby Kyoto City would never let him go!
"Okay, okay, it was my fault that I was shortsighted and mistook a wild tiger for a domestic cat.
You are really good, now you even dare to threaten your father!" General Pei was so angry that he gasped.
Master Pei Er remained neither humble nor arrogant, and said calmly, "Father, what are you talking about? I am just telling the truth!"
After what General Pei did today, the little bit of father-son love they had for so many years is gone!
By breaking out of the vicious circle of family affection, Mr. Pei can easily find a direction that is beneficial to him.
It was all calculation, Master Pei really didn't think he would lose!
General Pei snorted coldly, "Humph, since you want to divide the family, then you have to take out not only Zheng's things, but also Lin's things, otherwise forget it!"
Just as Madam Pei was about to stop her, Pei Xinlan moved quickly and held the old lady down.
Then he reached into the old lady's package, took out all the banknotes in front of the old lady, and hid them on himself.
In fact, it was quietly put into the space.
Seeing this, the old lady stopped talking.
Following the same method as before, the banknotes in the second lady's package were also taken out!
Master Pei II had already reached an agreement on the matter and agreed to General Pei's proposal to take out all the things and divide them equally with the eldest wife.
They also asked General Pei's first wife, the head of the Qi family and the former Minister of Rites to be witnesses.
Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Pei II also handed out the packages!
Ask the servant for paper and pen, and divide everything into two parts. The old general and the old lady will each be in charge of one person, and the family will be divided!
The head of the Qi family had been the prince's tutor for a period of time. Although he did not participate in the fight for the throne, being a teacher of a loser was his original sin.
The head of the Qi family has always been disapproving of the Pei family's split. After trying to persuade them with all his heart but to no avail, he could only shake his head helplessly!
When he left, he just whispered "confused" and returned to his team!
In fact, the smooth division of the family business was inseparable from Pei Xinlan’s external help!
We had just left the city, so this matter would never have gotten to this point!
