"Hmph!!" Pei Xingwen was furious and didn't give him any face at all.

"You bastard! Who told you to disguise yourself and enter Prince Feng's mansion? You're so brave!"

"Come here, beat him with sticks!"

The angry voice could be heard throughout Prince Feng's Mansion. The servant who brought Guan Ning in looked confused. What happened?

Immediately afterwards, five or six people rushed in with wooden sticks.

"Who dares to move?!" Shengqi roared, blocking the servants. His muscular body as strong as a rock was intimidating and no one dared to move forward.

"You, you lunatics, how dare you come to my Prince Feng's Mansion to cause trouble? You are looking for death!" Pei Xingwen shouted angrily.

Guan Ning glanced at Shengqi and quickly asked him to step back and not make a big deal out of it, as it would be bad for everyone.

"Grand Master, I know you look down on me, and I, Guan, don't even bother to come to you."

"But no matter what, for Nanyin's sake, we should sit down and talk calmly for a while." His voice was calm and rational.

"How dare you mention Nanyin?" Pei Xingwen was furious. He rushed forward in five steps, looking like an angry rooster, without any demeanor of a university scholar.

"Do you know how much trouble Nan Yin is in right now because of you, a bastard?"

"What's wrong with her?" Guan Ning's face changed slightly.

"I went to Qingping Temple. She was transferred. Was it you who did it?"

Pei Xingwen snorted coldly: "Do I need to tell you this? Who are you? Do you have the qualifications?"

Seeing how harsh and prejudiced he was, Guan Ning didn't bother to be polite.

"Pei Xingwen, I'm telling you straight out, Du Peng is not a good guy. Zhao Tai asked for marriage just to get revenge on me and Nan Yin."

"If you let her marry him, you'll be pushing her into the fire pit!"

"Shut up!" Pei Xingwen shouted.

"It is the emperor's decree that the nobles should marry. How can you give any advice?" His thinking was extremely old-fashioned. He knew that Guan Ning was not lying, but he was unwilling to admit it.

Guan Ning's face turned cold: "Do you really want to be an accomplice?"

"You better watch your words, brat. What is an accomplice?"

"You are the one who harmed Nan Yin!"

"If it weren't for you, Nanyin, as a princess, could have married an outstanding man in the world with great honor, instead of a mere fourth-rank warrior!"

"Because of the rumors about you and her, this wedding will be hastily completed within ten days. This is simply a huge insult to our Feng Palace!"

At the end of his words, he gritted his teeth and his voice became lower, as if he really felt ashamed.

Guan Ning was disappointed.

It turned out that his anger was just because he felt that Pei Nanyin was marrying someone of lower status, which was a disgrace to the family and was a helpless act, rather than caring whether Pei Nanyin was willing to marry or whether she would be happy in the future.

This is indeed a great tragedy of feudal society, especially among prominent families, where women are treated as commodities and vassals throughout their lives.

"I'll ask you one last time, does your Pei family care about this matter?!" He took a deep breath and looked at her sharply.

After all, the Pei family is not a small force. If they really want to take action, the emperor may be able to revoke his decision.

Pei Xingwen shuddered, then turned his anger into laughter, waving his sleeves and sneering, "I'll tell you one last time. Now that things have come to this, there's no turning back."

"I would rather she marry Du Peng than have anything to do with you again, and!"

He angrily said, "She caused such a big scandal, it's all her own fault. If it were any other day, I would never agree to it. But now the Zhao family has let bygones be bygones, it's her good fortune. I will never let her continue to degenerate!"

"As for you, just think about surviving, Prince Guan!"

Guan Ning knew his attitude towards him, but he didn't expect that the old man was so heartless and corrupt, even towards Pei Nanyin.

He had completely given up hope.

"If you can't even protect your own family, what kind of man are you?" Guan Ning's eyes were filled with contempt. If he wasn't Pei Nanyin's second uncle, he would have started beating him long ago.
