Madam Pei staggered forward two steps, almost falling, but she managed to stand firm.
Madam Pei walked towards Ye Ningwan step by step until she reached Ye Ningwan. Only then did she grab Ye Ningwan tightly and let out a cold sneer.
"Ye Ningwan, you've been deceived by men more than once, so why are you still so naive and so easily fooled by them?"
"Pei Fengzhi is lying to you! He doesn't love you at all. He has a white moonlight in his heart that he can't let go of, and that is his true love! He's just using you as a convenient shield! Do you really think you're important to him? When you're no longer useful, he'll throw you into the hazardous waste bin like a used battery, just waiting to dispose of you!"
"This man is not as simple as you think! He's a scumbag who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals!"
Madam Pei's face and Ye Ningwan's face were almost touching.
From this angle, Ye Ningwan could clearly see every wrinkle and every open pore on Madam Pei's ferocious face.
She chuckled softly and easily broke free from the nearly insane Madam Pei.
Madam Pei stumbled a couple of steps, finally lost her balance, and fell to the ground again.
This time, however, no one paid any attention to her anymore. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Ye Ningwan, waiting to see how she would react.
Grandpa Pei finally spoke to comfort Ye Ningwan.
"Wanwan, I will stand up for you in this matter. Whatever the outcome, just tell the truth without worry. Dad promises he won't blame you!"
Meanwhile, Madam Pei, sitting on the ground, stared intently at Ye Ningwan with her bloodshot eyes, warning her.
"Ye Ningwan, being love-struck will never end well! You trusted Pei Fengzhi too much, and in the end, you'll only end up being abandoned by him!"
Ye Ningwan ignored everyone's words, calmly scanning each person present before finally speaking.
“Pei Fengzhi never ordered me to do anything. Besides, when this accident happened, Pei Fengzhi had already been detained in the police station for more than a week. It was impossible for him to have foreseen that Pei Minghan would blatantly harass me.”
Before Ye Ningwan could finish speaking, Madam Pei began to scream with a distorted expression.
"You're talking nonsense! This is slander! This is defamation! My son would never harass you! How could he possibly harass you?! You're just a discarded woman he threw away, a dumped wife! Would a man come back to a woman he didn't want? You must have deliberately seduced him!"
Ye Ningwan scoffed and gave Madam Pei a disdainful look.
"Do you think I would go back to a man I don't want? I already have someone better, why would I force myself to eat something bad again? Do I have some kind of self-torture fetish?"
Madam Pei was rendered speechless by Ye Ningwan's retort.
"You! Ye Ningwan, you!"
Madam Pei gritted her teeth in hatred. She wished she could tear Ye Ningwan's mouth to shreds and then sew it back up tightly with the thickest needle, so that her vile mouth would never be able to utter another word!
Madam Pei clenched her fists.
There will definitely be a chance. One day she will definitely crush that annoying woman Ye Ningwan under her feet and let her know how powerful she is!
"Ye Ningwan, watch your words. If you dare to tell even a single lie, neither I nor the old man will let you off the hook!"
Ye Ningwan asked without any hesitation.
"Sister-in-law, are you threatening me?"
Madam Pei's face turned a deep purplish-red as she roared in righteous indignation.
"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I threaten you? I was just reminding you to tell the truth."
Ye Ningwan smiled, a smile so radiant it sent chills down one's spine.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I won't tell a single lie."
She walked towards Old Master Pei, looked at him seriously, and her clear voice rang out clearly in everyone's ears.
“Grandpa, everything I said is true. Ninth Master never instructed me to do anything, not even the slightest hint. The reason I took action against Pei Minghan was simply because I was in a bad mood that day, and Pei Minghan’s repeated harassment was unbearable.”
Ye Ningwan took out her phone and pulled out several screenshots.
"These are the harassing text messages Pei Minghan sent me before. Some of them were suggestive, while others were too explicit. I can't go into details, you can just read them yourself and you'll understand."
"I'm not the kind of woman who's promiscuous. After getting married, all I want is to be with my husband. I have no intention of having multiple partners. These kinds of words just disgust me!"
Old Master Pei frowned, looking down at the screenshots carefully. His fingers flew across the phone screen, and the gloom on his face grew deeper.
Madam Pei stared intently at Old Master Pei's face, unable to ignore even the slightest expression. She felt as if she had been doused with cold water, her entire body gradually freezing over, her heartbeat stopping, and her blood freezing and congealing along with her stopped heartbeat.
For a second, she seemed to lose the ability to speak, and could only stand there in a daze. It was as if there was a plastic film in her ears, and the surrounding sounds were separated by a layer, so far yet so close.
In a daze, she heard Ye Ningwan's semi-transparent voice.
"Grandpa, I know I've gone too far this time, and you certainly won't let me off easily. I don't want to put you and Ninth Master in a difficult position, so I will take the initiative to divorce Ninth Master! I'll leave with nothing!"
The four words were spoken with resounding force, and the moment they fell, Ye Ningwan felt an icy chill behind her that almost froze her completely.
A chill ran down her spine, rising from her heels to the top of her head. If it weren't for her strong self-control keeping her calm, Ye Ningwan would have collapsed to the ground, her legs weak.
She didn't dare turn around to look at the expression on Pei Fengzhi's face at that moment.
In fact, Ye Ningwan never looked back at Pei Fengzhi, who was standing there, from beginning to end.
She took a deep breath, trying to ignore the almost tangible dark gaze behind her, and managed to calm herself down before speaking to Old Master Pei in a composed tone.
"Old man..."
Grandpa Pei gave Ye Ningwan a deep look.
He scrutinized Ye Ningwan with an almost harsh, critical gaze, his half-cloudy eyes filled with a sharp and melancholic light.
To be honest, he looked down on this daughter-in-law. Not only was she born into a poor family, but her private life before marriage was also very messy. She even had a five-year relationship with his eldest grandson, Pei Minghan.
In the past, this kind of woman wouldn't even be qualified to be presented to him as a candidate for daughter-in-law, let alone be matched with his most beloved youngest son.
If it weren't for Ye Ningwan's auspicious birth chart...
But now that Pei Fengzhi has woken up, this woman's existence is essentially dispensable.
Why not take advantage of the present moment...
