Chapter 390: Don’t Play Intelligence with Mom (4)_1
Old Pei’s House really had quite the scheme, turning the rewards granted to her and her brother into their own possessions, and even trying to coax them back only to swallow up all their wealth as well.
Pei Zongli hurriedly explained, "I didn’t have that kind of intention at all! All those properties were hard-earned by you siblings! In the future, they’ll serve as your dowries, and as private property for Wendong. No one will claim them!"
Lady Zhu curled her lip, a flash of disdain in her eyes, feeling smug inside. Once it was in their hands, wouldn’t she, this old lady, still have the final say?
Old Pei also knew that this was the only solution, the best solution. As long as Sister Peiqin and her brother returned to Old Pei’s House, whatever anyone else said would be irrelevant. He knew Pei Qin, despite appearing belligerent and fierce, was not lacking in intelligence. He stepped forward to assure her, "The properties you siblings have managed will still belong to you. When your sisters marry, Old Pei’s House will prepare dowries, and there will be a share of family property for Wendong! I am the one saying this, and my word is as good as gold!"
Lady Chen pursed her lips and stayed silent, her heart burning with hatred. They were the main branch of the family! The property should rightfully belong to them! Yet now it seemed everything was going to the second branch!? She thought, if that damned wretch Pei Qin came back, she would see to it that Pei Qin was taken care of!
Pei Qin looked at them with a sneer, slowly lifting her hands and clenching them, her knuckles cracking loudly.
Pei Zongli’s face changed, noticing she was standing at the very front, "Qinqin!? Don’t be impulsive!" He had already taken two big steps back.
Pei Wenli also stepped back subconsciously.
Apart from Old Pei, everyone from Old Pei’s House took a step back, afraid she would lash out and start a fight.
Old Pei’s voice was grave as he tried to warn her, "Pei Qin! Even if you strike someone, you’ll only feel satisfied for the moment, but have you thought about the consequences?"
