Chapter 995 Chapter 995
Seeing her eldest sister about to explode, she calmly said, "Mother is simply heartbroken. As her children, we are about to lose our lives!"
When Pei Qiuyun heard this, she roughly thought of the past.
The corners of his lips drooped slightly, revealing a sneer. "Aunt Qin gave birth to my third brother, but she passed away many years ago, so I won't mention it. But a mere concubine Fang, a prostitute bought from a brothel, is worthless and doesn't have the ability to harm us."
"Just a concubine Fang?"
Pei Chen looked at his confused elder sister and stood up, pointing at Aunt Cha who was about to come in, "All outsiders, get out!"
Auntie Cha glanced at Pei Qiuyun, who snorted and laughed, "Get out! I want to hear what Second Brother has to say."
Soon, Aunt Frost Moon Chu left the room. Xiao Yinxiu hesitated for a moment and stood up, "My Lord, I shall take my leave as well."
"You don't have to leave!"
Pei Chen pointed at the last maid who left without any hesitation and said, "Guard the outer door. No one is allowed to come in without my permission."
"Yes!"
This scene seems to be about something top secret.
Xiao Yinxiu was somewhat at a loss, "Sir, you should just talk to my elder sister. From what I hear, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. You and your mother are aunt and niece. If you don't listen, your Xiao family will be implicated in the future. You'll be like a fool, handing a knife to outsiders."
This is really unpleasant to hear.
Pei Qiuyun found it unbearable to listen to, and repeatedly scolded, "A Xiu is your first wife, and the Xiao family is our uncle's family. Pei Chen, you are so alarmist, how can you be so shameless?"
"Oh, my eldest sister, when she talks about others, she keeps saying how unbecoming. That old man believed the rumors early on, brought his two sisters, and without Liu Ke's knowledge, rushed to the gate of the mansion and knelt before father. What's wrong, Princess? How can you be so polite?"
"Pei Chen!"
Xiao Yinxiu saw that Pei Chen was so rude to her elder sister, and she probably knew that Pei Chen had reached the end of his patience.
Why?
My aunt is his biological mother, how could she not have any sympathy for him?
Pei Qiuyun felt uncomfortable seeing her second brother, who always respected her, suddenly become so tough. "Well, tell me, just because mother disciplined a concubine and daughter-in-law, should I be miserable for the rest of my life?"
Pei Chen snorted heavily, retracted all the warm expressions on his face, and glanced coldly at the two ignorant women in front of him.
"First, my mother is not innocent of Madam Xiao's death."
"impossible!"
Pei Qiuyun just heard the first crime and slammed the table and stood up, "Pei Chen, that's my mother, not someone else. Empress Xiao is not an outsider either, she is her sister."
My dear sister!
Hey!
My dear sister...
Pei Chen looked at Pei Qiuyun, "How did this marriage between father and mother come about? Don't you two know? Eldest sister and Ah Xiu, don't play dumb. This is a taboo of the Pei and Xiao families, but it's not something you two don't know."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yinxiu trembled all over.
Of course she knows...
She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails pierced her palms, but she was still unaware of it. Trying her best to suppress her panic, she whispered, "That was all a matter of the previous generation. Besides, my aunt has also risen to prominence and become a noble concubine—"
"What a meteoric rise to fame, yet being sent to the dragon chariot by your own sister, losing your innocence and your fiancé. Are you blind and can't see it?"
Pei Qiuyun's immense anger was suppressed by these words.
She spoke with great difficulty, emphasizing each word, "It's all old news. Mother was young and ignorant. Besides, if it weren't for her, how could we siblings exist?"
"I would rather not have been born."
Pei Chen stood in front of his eldest sister and wife, speaking in a calm tone, "Father hates Mother, but he also tries not to be harsh on us siblings. With Aunt Qin, the third child was born, and he and the fourth child are as close as twins. Father occasionally comes back to visit, and he can sit down and have a few gentle words with Mother. Isn't that good?"
"Then cheer?"
Pei Qiuyun turned her head to look at her brothers, "Mother dedicated her entire life's work to father, yet he favors his concubines and ignores his wife!"
"I stole it from my mother! My grandfather wanted to drown her in the pond. All your tricks are not half as cruel as my mother's. She is my mother, but she scares me!"
"you--"
Pei Qiuyun looked at Pei Chen with disappointment on her face.
"Are you afraid? Has your mother ever hurt you?"
"Not only does she want to harm me, she also wants to send the entire mansion to hell, including you, the famous princess of the county!"
"Mother..., no!"
Pei Chen sneered as if he had heard a child's joke, "No? She wants to kill the fourth brother's wife and everyone who disobeys her!"
Do not!
Xiao Yinxiu shook her head repeatedly, "Mother was only disciplining the Fourth Sister, not trying to take her life!"
"A Xiu, do you know where the Immortal Lady you invited came from?"
Xiao Yinxiu swallowed his saliva, "...He is the most skilled immortal in exorcising demons and catching monsters in the capital. Isn't this a well-known fact..."
"no!"
Pei Chen walked up to Xiao Yinxiu. Xiao Yinxiu was frightened and stood up, but Pei Chen put his hand on her shoulder, making her unable to move.
"I'll tell you one last time. He was bribed by Jin Fuyun. It just so happened that Mother had long disliked Guan Zhou's background. She knew it was inappropriate, but she still used him. During that time, Madam Xian sent someone to ask Mother, 'Such a monster, should we keep...or not?' You and Eldest Sister, guess what Mother said."
Xiao Yinxiu's face turned pale.
She heard two terrible things. One was that Madam Xian had been bribed by Jin Fuyun long ago, and the other was that Madam Xian had had dealings with her mother behind her back.
Xiao Yinxiu suddenly felt cold all over. She couldn't stop shivering and her speech became incoherent. "I... I don't know. Mother sent me to invite..."
"You heard the screams in the Jianshui room, Ah Xiu, you heard them. Why didn't you go in and take a look?"
Xiao Yinxiu fell back on the chair and shook her head repeatedly, "I don't know... I really don't know."
"A Xiu, you always feel that father, uncle, aunt, and even the fourth brother don't know about these things?"
Xiao Yinxiu could no longer bear Pei Chen's accusations, which were like a slow knife killing her. She pushed Pei Chen away, covered her face with her hands, and was in great pain.
"No, these are coincidences, not my doing—"
"You teamed up with Jin Fuyun for the second time to hunt down Guan Zhou at Long'en Temple. Because of this, your father took away your household supplies. You were disgruntled and constantly causing trouble. You even secretly wrote to your eldest sister, calling her back to support you, right?"
Pei Qiuyun was stunned when she heard this.
She turned her head to look at Pei Chen, forced herself to be strong, and refuted, "Mother, it's impossible that you want to kill Song. I really don't like that kind of stuff, so just divorce her!"
"Oh! Eldest sister, you also know that after Guan Zhou entered the family, his parents passed away and his adoptive brother wandered the world. With such a life experience, not to mention that father and the fourth brother would be reluctant to let him go, even the national laws and family rules would not allow him to divorce Guan Zhou!"
