Reborn, meet you again!

Pei Qingyan knew that the show could not go on today.

Forget it, he had said long ago that even without the Jiang family, he could still bring honor to the family on his own.

It just takes a little more effort.

Since Jiang Wanqiao wanted to leave, he would grant her wish!

"Okay! Let's divorce..." Divorce.

But before he could utter the other two words, Pei Yujiao dropped her pretentious demeanor and interrupted him sharply.

"Brother, you can't!"

"Jiang Wanqiao has violated the seven grounds for divorce, so even if she leaves, my mansion will divorce her!"

Mrs. Pei's voice also rang out.

She looked at Pei Qingyan and winked at him.

"Qingyan, your sister is right!"

"Everything should be done with reason. The Jiang family once owned the Marquis of En Mansion. Since the in-laws want to take their daughter away today, it's not easy for us to stop them."

"But let's be clear. If you agree to a divorce today, those outside who don't know the truth will talk about our mansion. This matter must be made clear!"

Pei Qingyan naturally knew what his mother and sister were thinking.

But when Jiang Wanqiao found out that Jiahe was pregnant, he felt that he had lost face in front of her.

Thinking of the disdainful look she had given him just now, he felt that all the righteous words he had said to her in the past seemed to be slapping himself in the face.

He didn't want Jiang Wanqiao to think that he was thinking about her dowry.

But he couldn't go against his mother's wishes.

He could only shake his hands in annoyance and walk to a chair nearby to sit down.

"It doesn't matter to me how Jiang left the mansion."

"But since Mother objects, you can discuss it among yourselves..."

Mrs. Pei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her son did not insist.

The son had never taken care of the household, so he had no idea how financially strained the Marquis's mansion would be if Jiang Wanqiao left with the dowry.

Lord Pei, who had been silent all this time, also frowned slightly at this moment.

It is said that businessmen value profit. He thought that since the Jiang family's business was so big, Jiang Zheng must be a clear-headed person. He didn't expect that today he seemed so confused.

He looked at Jiang Zheng, and the kind look on his face disappeared, and there was a hint of oppression in his eyes.

"Jiang Zheng, think carefully. If Jiang Wanqiao and my son are no longer together, your Jiang family's affairs will no longer have anything to do with my mansion!"

"The dangers of Shangjing City are even worse than those in Jiangnan..."

"When the time comes, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Jiang Zheng naturally understood what Lord Pei said.

But seeing the sudden change of expression of the Pei family members in the room, he no longer dared to expect the Jiang family to rely on the Marquis' Mansion.

"I understand what you said, Lord. Please rest assured, Lord. As long as the Marquis' Mansion is willing to let my daughter return home, we will not have to worry about whether our Jiang family suffers in the future or not!"

Seeing Jiang Zheng being so ungrateful, Lord Pei couldn't help but snort coldly, his face completely cold. He glanced at Madam Pei indifferently and said no more.

Mrs. Pei accepted her husband's gaze without hesitation.

Things have come to this point, and the Jiang family can no longer be relied upon in the future, so they can only get the immediate benefits first.

Mrs. Pei thought about it and straightened up.

"Alright, since your Jiang family has made up their minds to leave, we at the Marquisate won't force you any further. However, we absolutely will not agree to this divorce!"

"Jiang Wanqiao has violated the seven grounds for divorce. If he wants to leave the Marquis' Mansion, there is only one possibility, and that is divorce!"

Hearing the word "divorce", Liu turned her gaze away from Jiang Wanqiao with a look of heartache.

A pair of beautiful eyes looked at Madam Pei with a hint of sharpness.

"The seven grounds for divorce that Madam Pei mentioned are nothing more than jealousy and unfilial piety."

"But my daughter opposed Miss Shen's marriage because she had an affair with Master Pei first. As the legal wife, it's only natural for my daughter to stop her! How can it be jealous?"

"As for being unfilial, Qiao Qiao has already said it just now. It's just about taking back my own dowry!"

"If you, the Pei family, really want to make a fuss about this, aren't you afraid that we will expose the fact that the Marquis's Mansion tried to seize my daughter's dowry, as well as the fact that Miss Shen is pregnant?"

Mrs. Pei naturally did not take Liu's threat seriously.

"What do you think this Shangjing City is? If Jiang Wanqiao was really divorced by my son and kicked out, do you think anyone would believe her words as an abandoned woman?"

Liu raised her eyebrows and curled the corners of her lips slightly.

"People die for money, birds die for food. Although my Jiang family doesn't have much power in Shangjing, we have plenty of money!"

"If we really go all out and spend a lot of money, who can say which way the wind will blow in the capital?"

"But can your Ningyuan Marquisate afford the consequences?"

What she cared about was not the dowry, but her daughter was only eighteen years old. If she was really divorced and expelled from the house with the reputation of being unfilial and jealous, she would find it difficult to hold her head up high in the future.

She knew that her words might not be able to shock the Marquis's Mansion.

but……

For the sake of her daughter's future, she has to give it a try!

When Lord Pei heard what Liu said, he suddenly slammed the table and stood up, looking at Liu coldly.

"you dare!"

"This marriage was personally granted by the Queen Mother. If you, the Jiang family, dare to spread rumors, you are questioning the Queen Mother's decree and are slapping the reputation of the royal family!"

"My mansion will only bear some stigma at most, which is a minor injury. But your Jiang family will have to bear the wrath of thunder!"

"If you want to perish with my Pei family, you should consider whether you are qualified for it!"

As Lord Pei spoke, a hint of cruelty appeared between his eyebrows.

"I originally agreed to my son's divorce today only because of our past relationship!"

"If you continue to be so ungrateful, then forget about this divorce letter!"

"Jiang Wanqiao, from now on you will be a member of my Pei family in life and a ghost of my Pei family in death. Never think of leaving the Marquis' Mansion!"

Jiang Zheng's heart skipped a beat when he saw the fierce look in Lord Pei's eyes.

Is the Marquis' Mansion... planning to kill?

Thinking of this, he winked at Liu, suppressed the anger in his heart, and spoke hurriedly.

"My Lord, my wife just spoke carelessly in a moment of impatience and did not intend to offend! I beg you to be magnanimous and not take issue with a woman like her!"

Lord Pei snorted coldly when he heard this.

"I don't have time to argue with you guys. I'll just ask you one last time: do you want this letter of divorce?"

If he didn't want to cause a death and tarnish his son's reputation, he would have dealt with this man long ago!

Is there any need to waste time talking to them?

He has thousands of ways to kill a powerless married-out daughter in the backyard.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zheng was afraid that the Marquis' Mansion would really go back on its word, so he was about to agree immediately, but Song Wan's voice sounded in the hall first.

"Of course not!"

"I said, I want a divorce! Did Lord Pei not hear clearly?"

When Lord Pei saw that Jiang Wanqiao was still so arrogant at this point, he couldn't help but laugh contemptuously.

"How dare you negotiate with me? You're really overestimating yourself!"

"I've already given you the chance. Since you don't want it, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Come here, please take the young lady back to her room and show her away!"

Song Wan stood still as a mountain, staring straight at Lord Pei.

She had already understood the Jiang family's attitude, so there was no need for her to argue with the Pei family.

"My Lord, why are you so anxious? I haven't finished what I'm saying yet."

"I know that you Pei family members have always been very smart. If I don't have enough confidence, how can I dare to overestimate my abilities in front of you?"

Song Wan spoke with a hint of teasing in her eyes, enunciating each word.

"I just wonder... what my mother just said, combined with what happened on Danxia Peak... is enough to negotiate terms with you?"

Song Wan's extremely clear voice reached Lord Pei's ears, causing his pupils to shrink unconsciously.

A huge wave rose in my heart.

"What did you say?"

The smile on Song Wan's lips grew wider.

"Does the Marquis really want me to say this in front of so many people? I don't mind..."

"Back then, you led five hundred elite soldiers to transport food and fodder to the southern border. When you passed through Danxia Peak..."

But before Song Wan could continue, Lord Pei suddenly interrupted her.

"Wait!"

He forced himself to steady himself, but there was a barely perceptible tremor in his voice.

"You... follow me into the inner hall!"

Jiang Zheng didn't know what was going on, but he could feel that this matter was of great importance and was worried that his daughter would suffer.

"Qiao Qiao, I'll go with you!"

Song Wan gave Jiang Zheng a reassuring look.

"Don't worry, father. I have my own plans. You just stay here with me!"

Then, leaving the room full of puzzled looks, he followed Lord Pei out of the main hall.
