Chapter 1383 - 272: Neither Able to Live nor Die (Second Update)
Yun Ya curled his lips into a gentle smile,"Alright, I will never leave you."
The couple embraced under the sunlight, the scene so beautiful and touching, Mingyue sat on the rooftop watching, her lips slightly upturned.
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a shadow sneaking around, darting over, she saw the person winding through twists and turns into Pei Ying’s room.
Mingyue silently flipped onto the rooftop, her steps light as a feather, she lifted a tile, squinting to peer inside.
"Are you sure?" Pei Ying’s hand paused as she held the prayer beads.
"Absolutely sure, I personally saw the people around Young Master Song knock out the lady and carry her out."
Pei Ying squinted, not knowing exactly what happened in Rongju Hall, but she was sure of one thing—the eldest sister-in-law is in trouble, and the wind direction in this household is about to change.
Could it be about that incident back then...? Her eyes suddenly darkened, the prayer beads unexpectedly snapped, scattering across the floor.
She paused for a moment, raised her hand to rub her brow: "I understand, you may leave now."
After the person left, Pei Xinyi emerged from behind the curtain, "Mom, what’s happening?"
"The matter with the eldest sister-in-law has been discovered, she is now yesterday’s news, thankfully we retreated in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable." As she spoke, she glanced at Pei Xinyi, "Be careful lately, don’t provoke the second household’s people, I need to think about how to handle this."
Pei Xinyi’s eyes flashed with indifference, but she obediently agreed.
"Mom, why do you need to fear them? Although Third Brother is formidable, his position is unstable, we might as well team up with Dongfang’s family, taking advantage of their struggle with the first household, we could profit like fishermen." Pei Xinyi suggested.
"Fool." Pei Ying’s gaze turned sharp as she glared at her, "If Lao San could be easily overthrown, he wouldn’t have come this far, collaborating with Dongfang’s family is akin to negotiating with a tiger, the price would be skin-deep. Your analysis is still so superficial, I don’t know if all these years of teaching you have gone to waste."
Pei Xinyi bit her lip, silently lowered her head.
Her hand under the sleeve clenched tightly into a fist.
After calming her emotions, Pei Ying said blandly: "We have endured for so many years, what’s a little longer, there’s a blade over the word ’endure’, they will reveal a flaw one day."
Pei Xinyi hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Mom, what exactly happened back then?" She was quite curious.
Pei Ying glanced at her indifferently, though not particularly imposing, it suddenly made one feel suffocated, Pei Xinyi tensed up, pressed her lips, not daring to utter another word.
"Curiosity killed the cat, knowing too much does you no good."
"I understand." Pei Xinyi whispered.
"By the way, how about Lao Si?" Pei Ying turned to ask.
"He... just said he needs to think about it..." Pei Xinyi’s hand rested on her stomach, last night she arduously tricked Yan Nanrong into coming back, told him she’s pregnant, Yan Nanrong’s expression was like being struck by lightning, he said nothing, only asked for time to think, then left.
Every time she recalls her heart aches, how can a man be so cruel when he turns heartless?
She’s not lying to Yan Nanrong, it’s possible she’s really pregnant, her period has been delayed for a long time, recently her appetite’s been poor, she thought it was her old stomach issue acting up again and didn’t mind, but mentioning pregnancy made her sensitive, plus she’s given birth before, she has experience, yet she still needs a hospital checkup to be sure.
Pei Ying glanced at her mockingly: "You can continue staying in this household."
Pei Xinyi pressed her lips, feeling a bitterness difficult to articulate.
Mingyue restored the tile, left silently.
Yun Ya had long known Pei Ying wasn’t so simple, but didn’t expect she was involved in that incident back then, what role exactly did she play in it?
Yan Song said in a deep voice: "There’s a very peculiar point about that incident back then, although Lu Xiane pushed grandma down and poisoned her inducement drug, yet all the handlers were dealt with immediately afterwards. Hence, for years there’s only Huang’s son as a clue, but at that time, although Lu Yuke had secured a foothold in the Yan Family, she didn’t have the clout to deal with these people, she was merely a brazen village girl who hadn’t seen much of the world, though somewhat clever, she didn’t have many tricks in inner household affairs, I’ve always been baffled by this."
Yun Ya raised her brow slightly: "It was Pei Ying who did it, she was a lady of the Pei Family, back then the Pei Family was considered a prestigious name in the Capital City, naturally had more inner household skills compared to Lu Xiane, but why would she harm grandma? She married Fourth Granduncle, had no enmity with grandma, why did she harm her?"
