His wife and children were by his side. They were not the kind of people who were blinded by the reputation of an aristocratic family. All of their faces were deathly pale, their expressions terrified. For a moment, no one spoke. The room was terrifyingly quiet. After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, "Father, why don't we divide the sect? If the main family does not agree, then simply ask to be removed from the clan."
Being removed from the clan was not a joke. Under normal circumstances, it was a huge mistake. Being removed from the clan was not their fault, it was all their fault.
But now, the people present did not feel that there was anything wrong with this. There was even a trace of hope on their faces.
As the head of the family, he naturally thought of this point. But now, at this juncture, this kind of thing could not be done easily. If it was done, it would be throwing stones at someone who was down, being ungrateful and having a bad reputation. No matter what they did in the future, at least for a considerable period of time, it would be difficult to establish a foothold. Unless it was a last resort, this kind of move absolutely could not be taken.
However, if Jin Qinwang really made things difficult for the entire Pei clan, their final result may not be better than Zi Qing being removed from the clan.
"… … Even if it is a different kind of surrender, Jin Qinwang may not be happy. Perhaps he would even hate it even more. That good clan leader of ours suffered a big loss because of his conjecture. Even now, he is still unaware. Moreover, even if he asks to be removed from the clan, it is probably too late. Therefore, we cannot be sloppy, absolutely cannot be sloppy. Let Father think about this matter, think about it carefully." He stroked his beard again and again. Occasionally, he accidentally used too much force and this beard was accidentally broken. The result was that he did not feel it at all.
Everyone once again fell into silence. This was absolutely not a joke.
More importantly, they now knew the inside story. Jin Qinwang, in order to better achieve his goal, their family should not even think about leaving Chuanzhou Fu. That's right, even if they wanted to arrange Xiao Bei in another place, it was absolutely impossible. It was clearly not their fault, but because of a coincidence, they had to bear the brunt of Jin Qinwang's anger.
This silence lasted for less than half a sichen. "Go and prepare a generous gift, I am going to ask for an audience with Jin Qinwang." As the saying goes, the one who tied the bell must untie it. As long as Jin Qinwang relented, this matter would naturally be over. As for what would happen to the main family, what would happen to the other clansmen, now that they could not even protect themselves, who would care about them?
It had to be said that this was the only benefit of bumping into the tip of the blade.
Speaking of which, no matter how generous the gift was, it was just like that. After all, Jin Qinwang was someone who did not lack money, nor did he lack good things. No matter how precious something was, no matter how rare it was, Li Hongyuan could think of ways to get it. Many times, precious was not as good as the heart.
Everyone knew this, and the mistress immediately went to prepare. Ignoring everything else, the two most outstanding items were two pairs of jade pomegranates. Each one was bigger than a fist and had a good head. More importantly, the cracks were just right, and the two rows of pomegranate seeds were bright red and sparkling. At first glance, one would think that they were real. The meaning was good enough, and the value of the pomegranate itself was enough to be used as a family heirloom. The mistress of the house touched it again and again. Back then, she couldn't even bear to give it to her two daughters as a dowry. Now, for the sake of the whole family, she could only reluctantly part with it. Another thing, knowing that Jin Qinwang Fei loved flowers and plants, it just so happened that there was a pot of camellias at home. This was the treasure of the head of the household.
The gift, along with the invitation, was sent to Jin Qinwang's courtyard. Then, they could only wait apprehensively.
After busying herself here, the servant then reported Pei Ming Ying's situation. The situation was worse than expected. The body was not a problem, as it would be fine after some rest. The problem was that her teeth were loose, and the possibility of them falling out was more than seventy percent. Another thing was her hair. Because it was pulled hard on a large area, a large piece of her scalp fell off, and blood accumulated under the scalp. It was estimated that all of her hair would fall off. For a woman, this was absolutely fatal, especially for a woman who had not yet married and was especially concerned about her appearance.
After listening to the report, not to mention the head of the household, everyone else was the same. They did not know what kind of expression they should show.
Thinking about the Clan Head's Furen who had not yet woken up and was just hanging on by a thread, they did not know if she could wake up. The more they thought about it, the more stifled they felt. It was another sleepless night. The only gratifying thing was that the gift that was sent out was not returned. Then there was still a glimmer of hope.
Fortunately, the next day, Jin Qinwang gave a reply. The head of the Pei family's residence pulled himself together and brought his eldest son to see Jin Qinwang.
Naturally, he was respectful and reverent. His words were careful and cautious. There were some words that he did not dare to say out loud, but the meaning was more obvious. It was to ask Jin Qinwang if there was any leeway to turn the situation around. If there was, he asked Jin Qinwang to point out a clear path, as long as he could protect his family, old and young, he would go through water and tread on fire, and would not hesitate to die ten thousand deaths.
Li Hongyuan calmly drank tea, "Pei Shi was so honest from the beginning, why did Ben Wang have to spend so much effort."
The father and son duo did not dare to speak. Although they did not do it, but, as the saying goes, one stroke cannot write two Pei characters.
"Alright, for the sake of those few jade pomegranates, your family, Ben Wang can let it go. But, don't do what you shouldn't do." That kind of thing with a good meaning, stained with the smell of blood, was not very good.
"Many thanks to Wangye, many thanks to Wangye." He was absolutely overjoyed.
