Chapter 173: You Will Lose Completely (9)_1
Grandma Fang was also approaching fifty this year, her hair already half white. She wore her hair in a bun secured with a wooden pin and was dressed in an indigo overcoat that had washed to a pale hue. Her face was a canvas of wrinkles, marked by age, her body slightly stooped.
Lady Yu then pressed on to ask how Lady Fang died, was it because Pei Zongli had come back from the dead and, after bringing back a rich family’s daughter and two sons, the Pei family drove Lady Fang to her death!?
Pei Qin recounted the process of Lady Fang’s death, "I was in the town at the time and didn’t know what Mother had heard. She left quietly before dawn, leaving behind a blood letter and collided to her death at the entrance of the Pei family’s house."
"Where’s the blood letter? What exactly did your mother write!?" Lady Yu asked urgently, grabbing her.
"It detailed the secrets of the Jian Xiao, but the Pei family took it," Pei Qin said calmly.
Grandma Fang’s voice suddenly became sharp as she interrogated, "Was she forced into the Jian Xiao? Was it the Pei family, the Pei family’s people who forcibly made her do it, wasn’t it? Wasn’t it!?" Her daughter was literate and attractive, and her father had been fond of her from a young age, teaching her to be knowledgeable and reasonable. Even if Pei Zongli was dead and he appeared in her dreams wanting a son, she would never have abandoned her morality, dignity, and chastity to demean herself by having a Jian Xiao with her uncle to bear Pei Zongli a son to leave behind a legacy. For years, she had been filled with regret and confusion, yet when her husband was so angry he disowned her, she said not a word!
Pei Qin watched her agitated and angry manner and said nothing.
"It was the Pei family who forced her! It was the Pei family who harmed her! It was the Pei family who harmed her!" Grandma Fang shrieked and cried.
