"What leverage could I have on you that could fall into someone's hands?"

Mrs. Pei immediately slammed the table and stood up, staring at Pei Sangyu with a pair of red eyes. "I'm doing this all for your own good! You've finally secured the position of CEO of Pei Corporation, and so many eyes are watching you in the Pei family! If you were to be burdened with the scandal of irresponsibly playing with women at this time, do you know the consequences?"

"For my own good?" Pei Sangyu stood up and sneered, "For whom exactly? You know it yourself."

"You!" Madam Pei looked at Pei Sangyu with an increasingly ferocious look in her eyes. "Come up with me right now."

After Mrs. Pei finished speaking, she stood up and walked upstairs.

Pei Sangyu lowered his eyes, a hint of sneer flashed in his eyes, and then he walked upstairs.

Not long after, the sound of a whip could be faintly heard from inside the tightly closed study door on the second floor.

One sound after another, continuing for a long time...

……

The Pei family ancestral hall is in the backyard of the old house.

To go to the ancestral hall, you must pass by the artificial lake.

That's where people died every year in their previous lives...

Xu Jiayun's heart twitched, and his pace suddenly quickened a lot when passing the artificial lake.

Han's mother thought she was going to run away, so she quickly chased after her.

"Miss Xu, slow down!"

Xu Jiayun ignored him until she reached outside the ancestral hall.

Mother Han walked up to her and saw that she had no intention of running away. She cleared her throat awkwardly and said, "Mrs. Pei has been in a bad mood since the chairman passed away. Asking you to kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment is actually..."

"I know."

Xu Jiayun interrupted Han Ma and smiled at her. "That's Madam Pei, Ayu's mother. I will try my best to accommodate and tolerate her."

Han's mother looked at her with some surprise.

Seeing her reaction, Xu Jiayun asked with a helpless smile, "Why are you looking at me like that? What did I say wrong?"

"No." Han's mother shook her head and couldn't help but sigh: "Miss Xu, you are doing very well now."

Hearing this, Xu Jiayun touched her belly and said helplessly, "Who made me love Ayu?! For him, I even dared to get pregnant before marriage. What does this little grievance mean?"

Han's mother frowned, and finally just sighed and found a cushion.

Xu Jiayun didn't say anything and knelt down quietly.

The bodyguards were guarding outside, while Han's mother received a phone call and left in a hurry.

As soon as Han Ma left, Xu Jiayun supported himself on the ground with one hand and sat down directly on the cushion.

Although kneeling on the cushion didn't hurt, she was pregnant and it would be very difficult for her to kneel like this for a whole day.

When it comes to acting, just pretend.

Xu Jiayun glanced around.

As expected of the Pei family, the ancestral hall is built magnificently and solemnly.

Her gaze stopped on Pei's father's tablet, and her eyes were cold.

This man let down two women, one was Mrs. Pei and the other was her biological mother.

Although no one knows what exactly happened back then, both the Shen family and the Pei family said that it was the mother who killed Pei's father.

What the truth was, she had no way of knowing until her death in her previous life.

Now that she has a new life, she will never again foolishly bear the crime of being the daughter of a murderer just because of the one-sided words of the Shen and Pei families.

Atonement for the mother's sins is even more nonsense.

In her previous life, she was foolish and was PUA'd by everyone from the Shen family and the Pei family. Only when she died did she realize that her so-called atonement was nothing but a joke in their eyes!

The Shen family doesn't acknowledge her as their daughter, but wants to use her as a token of sincerity to be trampled upon and vented by Pei Sangyu!

The Pei family kept saying that she owed them a life, but who had she harmed from beginning to end?

The only person she felt sorry for in her previous life was Nian Nian!

As a mother, she didn't give Nian Nian a legitimate identity, didn't give her a happy and normal childhood, and even in the end, she couldn't give her a proper funeral...

Hatred surged in my heart.

Xu Jiayun lowered her eyes and looked at her belly.

Fortunately, God had mercy on them and their son.

In this life, she will never make the same mistake again.

There were footsteps outside.

Xu Jiayun immediately stood up and knelt down.

The door of the ancestral hall was pushed open.

Xu Jiayun turned around and looked.

Sheng Yixue walked towards her with a smug look on her face.

"Miss Xu, your aunt is worried about you being alone, so she asked me to come and accompany you!"

Under her gaze, Xu Jiayun sat cross-legged.

Or the kind with his back to the ancestors of the Pei family.

Sheng Yixue had never expected that she would dare to be so rude in the ancestral hall, and pointed at her and said angrily: "Believe it or not, I will tell my aunt!

"Go ahead!" Xu Jiayun raised an eyebrow and looked at her, "Miss Sheng, who do you think you are to give me orders?"

"You!" Sheng Yixue's face flushed with anger. "Don't think you can secure the position of Mrs. Pei just because you're pregnant with Brother Sang Yu's child! I'm telling you, forget it!"

Xu Jiayun raised an eyebrow. "I can't sit still? You can?"

"Of course I can!" Shen Zhiyan stared at her fiercely, "I'm the most favored daughter of the Sheng family! How can you, Xu Jiayun, an illegitimate daughter, marry Brother Sang Yu! You only know how to seduce men with cheap means! Just like your shameless mother!"

"Tsk." Xu Jiayun shook his head and scratched his ear. "The Sheng family's upbringing is just so-so. They curse so filthy. Does your good aunt know about it?"

"You..." Sheng Yixue's face turned pale and then red. She was frightened and angry. She gritted her teeth and said, "Xu Jiayun, don't be too proud! Aunt Pei will not let you give birth to this child!"

Hearing this, Xu Jiayun frowned, sensing a hint of danger in the words.

But she didn't show any panic. She just frowned and said, "Miss Sheng, don't let jealousy get the better of you. Madam Pei has already agreed to my marriage with A Yu, and naturally she also acknowledged the child. You're framing Madam Pei by saying this, don't you know?"

"You'll know later if it's a frame-up or not! You're the daughter of the murderer who killed Uncle Pei. Auntie hates you to death. How could she possibly accept a child born from you?"

Sheng Yixue looked at Xu Jiayun triumphantly, "I'm not in a hurry. I'm waiting for the day when your child will be buried with Uncle Pei!"

After saying that, Sheng Yixue snorted coldly, turned around and ordered the bodyguards outside, "Miss Xu doesn't kneel properly, you go in and teach her how to kneel!"

"Yes, Miss Sheng."

Two bodyguards walked in directly, held Xu Jiayun's arms and lifted her up, making her kneel firmly on the ground.

The cushion was kicked away by Sheng Yixue.

Xu Jiayun looked up and glared at her, "Sheng Yixue, don't be too proud."

"I represent my aunt, what can you do to me?"

Xu Jiayun stared at her with cold eyes.

Yes, she can’t do anything to Sheng Yixiu now.

But it doesn’t matter, she won’t suffer this little bit of physical pain in vain!

...

Study room on the second floor.

Mrs. Pei threw away the blood-stained whip.

"I can agree to the marriage, but this child cannot be kept." Mrs. Pei looked at her son who was kneeling on the ground with his head lowered. The madness in her eyes disappeared and her tone softened.

"Child..." Pei Sangyu's hoarse voice concealed immense pain, "You must stay."

Mrs. Pei walked over and squatted in front of him, raising her hand to touch his sweaty, cold face. "Son, that child inherited Xu Yinglan's bloodline. How can I accept this? You can have children in the future, with whomever you want. But this time, you listen to me, okay?"

"No." Pei Sangyu raised his eyes, his scarlet eyes in the dim light, and the unshakable persistence stung Mrs. Pei.

Madam Pei stood up suddenly, her cold voice full of strength: "I know you won't agree, so I've asked Xiaoxue to do it on my behalf."
