Chapter 142 Burst You (18)_1
Even she couldn’t have a say in this situation, so Pei Houli had no choice but to summon the Chen family over.
But the Chens were not easy to summon. Despite promising a future to the main branch in secret from Pei Houli’s two households, the Chen family had always held on to this as leverage. Especially after the Fang family announced they would no longer recognize Lady Fang as their daughter. This was also the reason why Lady Chen was so arrogant in Old Pei’s House.
Pei Houli rushed to Chen Building Village and brought back Grandma Chen, Old Man Chen, and the two sisters-in-law together.
The old Pei house suddenly became bustling with activity.
Grandma Chen and the two sisters-in-law from the Chen family arrived with great flaunting arrogance, intending to take Lady Fang and strangle both her and Sister Peiqin to death.
Old Pei, Lady Zhu, and Pei Houli all disagreed. They all understood how the arrangement was initially agreed upon. If Lady Fang was pushed too hard, humiliated, and died, once Peiqin and the others made a big fuss, Old Scholar Fang wouldn’t really turn a blind eye. If that happened, not only Pei Wenli’s career prospects would be ruined, but also the marriages of Pei Wenlee and Pei Wenbo! Although using the old scholar’s reputation wasn’t ideal, after all, Pei Wenli didn’t even have a title yet.
However, to ask the Chen family to take Lady Chen away and bear such humiliation, Old Pei’s House couldn’t just stand by without showing any reaction.
As dusk approached, Grandma Chen, Old Man Chen, and a few others arrived at the small courtyard together with Pei Houli and Lady Zhu.
Lady Fang and San Ya were cooking in the kitchen, Si Ya locked the door to prevent the Chen family from suddenly making trouble and bursting into their room.
With her legs crossed, Peiqin sat casually in the courtyard. "I can’t be bothered to listen to your nonsense. You just need to loudly answer my one question, then you can take the person with you."
