Chapter 178: The Concubine Is Promoted (5)_1
Pei Qin quietly squeezed San Ya’s hand and glanced at Pei Zongli a few times before lowering her head.
Old Pei noticed her emotionally moved expression and her hesitation as she looked at Pei Zongli.
Pei Zongli stood up and came over, pulling Pei Qin, "Qinqin! After this, I will definitely make it up to you!" The scene of the eldest daughter smashing them with the Silver Ingot still flashed before his eyes, and before, he had also promised Qian Wanxiu, to divorce Lady Fang and didn’t want the eldest daughter, but now he had no choice but to...
"So she would be the new stepmother?" Pei Qin looked towards Qian Wanxiu.
Qian Wanxiu felt her eyelids twitch under Pei Qin’s stare.
Pei Zongli looked into her eyes, which resembled his own phoenix eyes, wanting to nod but feeling unable to do so.
Lady Zhu felt great injustice for Qian Wanxiu, her gaze filled with unparalleled darkness.
Lady Chen had been silent all along. Pei Houli, that beast, had long taken a fancy to that shameless woman’s pretty looks. If the affair about the three cups of wine were to be exposed, it would be her son’s reputation and future that would suffer! Even if she hated them, she had to swallow her teeth and blood. Now that the second house had returned, it was pressing down hard on their head, bypassing their first house in everything. She could only hope that her eldest son would soar, and nothing could ruin Dalang’s pursuit of officialdom!
As for these three little bastards, even if she took them in, in the future, under her control - once she turned the tables, wouldn’t they still be at her mercy to mold as she wished? When the time comes, she would let them understand her might! Not just anyone could eat whatever they wanted or say whatever they wished!
Qian Wanxiu also felt furious inside. She had thought that it would be easy to deal with Lady Fang being Jian Xiao, but she didn’t expect that even with Lady Fang’s death, the scandalous details had exploded, leaving them with endless infamy and bringing such humiliation upon her! She wanted to acknowledge Pei Qin as her stepdaughter and deal with her later, but now she had to admit that she was the successor to the main wife and had to pay respects to Lady Fang.
