C99 The Dust of the past

Old Master Pei recalled the memories bit by bit until he thought through everything once and made sure that he did not miss anything. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief. "Old Wu, follow me back to the countryside to retire. This place will be their young man's world in the future."

Uncle Wu respectfully stepped forward and supported Old Master Pei who was about to stand up, "Yes."

He had been Old Master Pei's housekeeper all his life. It could be said that he had watched these children grow up. Seeing them like this made him feel very uncomfortable. Now, since Old Master Pei had said this, he was happy to leave. Facing these children, he did not know what to do.

It would be the best if he could leave with the old master.

Looking at the backs of the two old men supporting each other as they left, Pei Yichen had a complicated expression on his face. He wasn't sure if what he had done was right or wrong.

He used to think that he had to find out all the answers, but when the truth of blood was revealed, he was not relieved, but the complete division of the family.

He didn't know if he should continue investigating.

Pei Yuanfan frowned as well. Only at this moment did this carefree boy understand how ridiculous he used to think he was.

"Yichen, please guide me in the future."

Pei Yichen nodded but didn't say anything. Instead, he walked out and said, "I'll go and see how Aunt is doing."

In this family, if one were to say who was the most innocent, it would be this aunt.

When he was young, when he first came to this house, under the circumstances that everyone rejected him, it was this aunt who first stuffed a candy into her hands.

She was gentle and demure, but she was not virtuous.

Pei Yuanfan hesitated for a moment before following after her. Although his aunt was taking care of his aunt, he was still a little worried. He did not know if this tolerant and gentle woman would be able to withstand such a huge change.

After everyone left, Ning Xia, who had been hiding in the corridor, walked out. She didn't want to eavesdrop, but for some reason, she walked out of the room and hid here.

She had never thought that Pei Family, a family that looked much happier than an ordinary family, would have such troubles.

Pei Yichen, on the other hand, lit the fire oil with his own hands and burned the entire house.

However, when she thought about what Pei Jianye and his son had done, she couldn't help but want to say that they deserved it. They should pay for what they had done, right?

They had already touched the bottom line of this family. It was something that no one could tolerate.

However, Big Aunt, how innocent.

Ning Xia did not know why, but she felt a little depressed. She did not know if it was anger or sympathy.

If she had chosen to leave bravely when she first discovered that her husband was engaged, would there have been no follow-up?

But she chose to endure, to endure the betrayal of her husband, to endure this marriage that existed only in name, to endure the indifference of her son. But in the end, she discovered that all her forbearance was only her own wishful thinking. Her husband's heart was not hers, and even her son was not hers...

Ning Xia couldn't help but think of herself. If it was her, what would she choose?

She was married for the first time and loved someone for the first time. If one day, in this seductive world, her Chen was also lost, what would she choose to do?

Was the Wealthy Class destined from the start to have so many things that they could not help but do?

Had they ever repented before the things they thought were sealed up?

The Pei Family was not as simple as she had imagined.

However, Ning Xia knew very well that she did not have the ability to face all these together with Pei Yichen.

Thinking about her aunt's situation, she hesitated for a moment. She also wanted to take a look, but...

However, she did not dare to do so. She did not care whether she faced Zhang Wen or herself. She was afraid that one day, she would be like her, completely in despair.

Ning Xia hesitated for a moment before she chose to turn around and return to her room. Perhaps she should wait until everyone had calmed down before appearing.

Since Pei Yichen had chosen to keep her out from the start, she could not let him down.

In the infirmary, Zhang Wen was still unconscious, but her condition was much better.

Pei Sizhu saw the two brothers coming over together and was a little surprised. She wanted to ask her father about the situation, but when she thought that her father might have already made other arrangements, she did not ask anything, "After the injection later, we will send sister-in-law to the hospital to observe for a few days. I will accompany her. You can rest assured."

Although Pei Sizhu was cold to people, she knew from the bottom of her heart that they were family. So when something happened, she would definitely help.

"Thank you, aunt."

Pei Yuanfan had been afraid of his aunt since he was young, but at this moment, he couldn't wait to give her a big hug. She looked like she was smiling, but she wasn't necessarily a good person. She looked cold, but she wasn't necessarily a bad person.

"Where's Grandfather?"

Pei Sizhu knew it was useless to ask Pei Yichen, so she asked Pei Yuanfan directly.

"Grandpa arranged a lot of things and then left with Uncle Wu. He should have gone back to the small garden in the countryside. I want to see him two days later."

Pei Yuanfan shrugged. He didn't know what to say to his grandfather now. Comforting? It seemed useless, but doing something else made him feel uncomfortable. Maybe they should all calm down.

Pei Sizhu nodded and fell silent. There were some things that she did not want to mention and did not want to ask. Those unhappy things would be forgotten and sealed by time. To them, these things were a trauma to each and every one of them. Not mentioning them was the greatest comfort.

They tacitly agreed and did not say anything. On the other side, Pei Shijie's wound had already been treated. According to Old Master Pei's instructions, they needed to treat him first before sending him to the police station. So, whether he was willing or not, Pei Yichen had to do it.

"Son... my son..."

Zhang Wen slowly woke up and muttered to call out. Pei Sizhu's heart was somewhat heavy, "Sister-in-law, rest well first. We will go to the hospital later..."

"Pei Yichen! Yichen..."

After Zhang Wen clearly saw the people in the room, she crazily rushed out of bed, completely ignoring the fact that the needle on her wrist was pulled out and blood was flowing out. She directly threw herself in front of Pei Yichen and tightly grabbed Pei Yichen's arm and begged, "Please, bring my child back, okay? Even if he is already dead, let him return to my side okay?"
