Chapter 422: Completely Breaking Away from Old Pei’s House (9)_1
"There’s also the simplest method," Old Scholar Fang said, which was already very lenient of him, "to erase the name directly in the genealogy and let Wendong establish his own branch! All you have to do is sign a life and death pledge to never interact with each other ever again."
Old Pei snorted coldly, "Can you guarantee that you won’t oppress and trample over us ever again!?"
"Can you guarantee you won’t persecute her and her brother anymore!?" Old Scholar Fang retorted with scorn. He was willing to give them the document of consent, allowing his two grandsons to become legitimate heirs, and they still dared to make so many demands.
Old Pei fell silent, his eyes glaring at Old Scholar Fang with a rage as sharp as knives.
Old Scholar Fang also stared back at him with a cold derision, "Pei Yaozu, you are a clever man, but you’ll be ruin by your descendants."
Old Pei huffed, "Then let’s wait and see!" Apart from him, there was no one of worth in the Fang family!
At this, neither man spoke any further. They’d address future issues later; for now, they’d focus on the present. They agreed and drafted the life and death pledge, signed and thumb printed by members of both branches of Old Pei’s House, alongside Sister Peiqin and her brother, and a few relatively conciliatory people from the Pei family in Taiping Town and Back Mountain Village.
With the consent document in hand, Pei Zongli went to the Government Office to take care of the matters concerning Qian Wanxiu, Pei Wenchen, and Pei Wensheng.
