Li Hongyuan stood with his hands behind his back and looked down at Clan Leader Pei. Tsk, he still didn't forget to scheme even at this time. The living King of Hell was very unhappy.
"… This commoner knows that he has made a big mistake and angered Your Highness, but this commoner …" Pain flashed across Clan Leader Pei's face. "It was all done by the main family. The rest of the family didn't know. As the saying goes, the ignorant are not guilty. I ask Your Highness to be lenient." These words were so sincere.
As soon as he finished speaking, the people beside him also begged for forgiveness and asked Li Hongyuan to be lenient. However, these people didn't plead for him. Was it because Clan Leader Pei's prestige was too high, or was it arranged before he came out? As the saying goes, the law can't punish the majority. Clan Leader Pei thought that although he had schemed against Li Hongyuan, he didn't cause any harm to him. He had already caused Clan Leader Pei to fall to such a state. He wouldn't kill him, especially now that his relationship with Clan Leader Pei had been exposed. If he acted too ruthlessly, he would definitely be criticized. Such ruthlessness and mercilessness, even killing blood relatives, would definitely displease the Emperor.
Clan Leader Pei insisted on this point. That was why he exposed Li Hongyuan as the true culprit behind Clan Leader Pei's "persecution" in front of everyone. Then, he used public opinion to threaten Li Hongyuan to not do anything to Clan Leader Pei. Even if Clan Leader Pei rapidly shrank and even withdrew from the ranks of aristocratic families, as long as Clan Leader Pei's foundation was still there, and now that the truth had been revealed, Clan Leader Pei didn't need to worry about not entering the court and not being related to the imperial family. With Clan Leader Pei's foundation and many outstanding descendants, it was only a matter of time before Clan Leader Pei stood up again.
Because of all these plans, Clan Leader Pei's heart was still burning. He didn't look dispirited at all.
That was why Clan Leader Pei had clearly suffered a great loss because of his "self-righteousness", but the current situation was still the same. Perhaps Clan Leader Pei would rise again one day, but it definitely had nothing to do with him. It was Li Hongyuan's nature to never accept threats.
Perhaps it was because Li Hongyuan didn't speak for a long time, some people cautiously raised their heads. Some people were stunned when they saw Li Hongyuan's face clearly, especially the few people around Clan Leader Pei who looked younger than him. They were obviously Clan Leader Pei's sons. They were even more stunned when they looked at him …
It's no wonder that Mother fell sick after seeing you … "Only then did he realize that something was wrong." Your Highness, please forgive this commoner. This commoner didn't mean it that way. Mother fell sick because she missed Little Sister all year round. She fell sick because of depression. When she saw Your Highness, she was agitated … "
Li Hongyuan's lips hooked into a cold smile. This blood uncle of his who didn't know his ranking, mumbled and didn't dare to continue speaking.
In the entire Pei County, who didn't know that Clan Leader Pei's wife had already passed away. Logically speaking, even if she saw her grandson, it was possible that her body couldn't bear the excitement. However, unless she was already a lamp that had withered away and had no regrets after seeing the person she missed, she would be able to smile in the underworld for a short period of time. Other than that, as long as she endured through that period of time, as the saying goes, when a person meets a happy occasion, their spirit would be refreshed. After that, she should be even more healthy. The result was that she fell sick and died. Clan Leader Pei's wife had a serious illness, but she didn't pass away in a day or two. Therefore, it made people suspect that being too agitated might not be "happy." It could be that Jin Qinwang was too fickle and said or did something that really agitated the old lady.
Under the influence of people with ulterior motives, the people of Pei County knew Li Hongyuan in great detail.
Li Hongyuan finally got down from the carriage and walked in front of Clan Leader Pei, "Clan Leader Pei has given a lot of thought. Why don't you personally put on a good show of blood splashing on the spot? Wouldn't the effect be even better?"
These words were neither light nor heavy. The people watching from the outside couldn't hear it, but the people near him could hear it clearly.
Clan Leader Pei's entire body stiffened. He faintly felt that it might be … "Wangye is joking. This commoner sincerely asks for forgiveness and has no other intentions."
"Great Grandfather really didn't have any other intentions? Wasn't it because great-grandmother's condition had greatly improved, and you deliberately stopped her medicine in order to scheme against her grandson so that you could achieve some unspeakable goal, causing great-grandmother to be so angry that she vomited blood and died? " Not far behind, Pei Xiuying, who was dressed in mourning clothes, suddenly stood up. Her voice was clear and cold as she spoke of the "inside story". Her voice faintly contained suppressed pain and grief.
Everyone looked at Pei Xiuying with different expressions. Naturally, most of them were shocked.
Clan Leader Pei didn't turn her head. She just clenched her fists. Her loose skin seemed to be stretched so tight that it was almost flat. Because her head was slightly lowered, no one could see the emotions in her eyes.
Pei Xiuying's words weren't finished, "… That year, you didn't care about the flesh and blood relationship and pushed Great Grandmother out, causing Great Grandmother to be heartbroken. She accompanied you by your side for decades. Even if she didn't make any contributions, she still gave birth to your children. Everyone else saw her as having limitless glory. In the backyard of a person like you who wants to control everything, what difference is there between her and that puppet? Have you ever truly given her the slightest bit of honor? Now, you don't care about the relationship between husband and wife. In order to achieve your goal, you don't hesitate to kill your wife. How can you bear to do this? "
Some people looked at Clan Leader Pei. Their eyes were a bit subtle. Speaking of which, you're a big man and also a clan leader. You have full control of the backyard, hehe …
"… According to seniority, I'm Jin Qinwang's cousin's niece. But you schemed and almost sent me to his bed. Under normal circumstances, doing this would only cause people to say a few words. However, for someone who often talks about the rules of an aristocratic family, to do this kind of thing, such a hypocritical thing, how can people despise you? Moreover, you keep telling me that I'm the most honorable di daughter of an aristocratic family. I have my dignity and pride, yet you treat me like this? Is it really like some rumors, that we're all playthings for your benefit and there's not the slightest bit of emotion? "
Pei Xiuying's voice was slightly choked, but every word was exceptionally clear.
The people around her were all juniors. In addition, Pei Xiuying's status was high in the past, so no one dared to offend her. Now, they were so frightened by her that their hands and feet went soft. For a moment, no one stopped her. Her parents and grandparents were so frightened that their souls almost left their bodies. But just as they wanted to stand up, they were "stopped" by Li Hongyuan's low voice.
"I know that I'm being unfilial by saying this, but it's really Great Grandfather that makes people's hearts cold. You even did things that pushed Pei shi into the abyss. Now, you still want to scheme against Jin Qinwang, have you thought of the consequences? It's true that Jin Qinwang is Pei shi's maternal grandson, but first, he's a Prince. Then we talk about other things. If he angers the current Emperor, what will happen to Pei shi? Great Grandfather, don't be obstinate. Wait until Pei shi is gone, then it'll be too late to regret. " Speaking to this point, Pei Xiuying suddenly pulled out a dagger and ruthlessly stabbed it into her neck. That dagger was unusually sharp. In an instant, blood flowed out along the dagger … …
Pei Xiuying's face flashed with an unusually complex emotion. Then, her eyes started to slacken. Her body went soft and she started to fall down.
All of this happened too suddenly. The people around her all had their heads lowered. Until she fell down, they saw the bright red blood. One by one, they screamed and scattered. As a result, the large circle around Pei Xiuying was completely empty. Only she was left lying in the middle. Her body was white and dazzling red. Such a sharp contrast inexplicably made people somewhat frightened.
"Placing righteousness before family", this kind of thing, some people praised. But there were also people who felt that this kind of person was heartless and unscrupulous. Not only was she unfilial, she was also disloyal, heartless and unjust. In short, if it was their own family, they couldn't wait to strangle her to death. Because, there was no lack of people who scolded Pei Xiuying in their hearts. Naturally, there were also people who doubted the authenticity of it. After all, Pei Clan Head's good name was out there … …
Now, she was dead. She committed suicide. Without any hesitation, she sacrificed herself for her family. She might be unfilial, but she used her life to atone for her sins. No matter what, everything could be wiped clean.
Only then did Clan Head Pei stand up. His body was faintly trembling. He slowly turned around and saw Pei Xiuying lying in a pool of blood with her eyes wide open. His eyes were filled with deep disbelief and uncontrollable anger! He was actually framed by someone he had carefully cultivated. Moreover, because the other party was dead, there was no way he could clear his name. Compared to losing his life in public, no one would believe his words.
He thought that everything was under his control, but reality gave him a ruthless slap. He thought that she was just a good chess piece. Even if she was crippled, he could still squeeze her a little more … …
