Inside the banquet hall, the crowd had just taken their seats.
There were dozens of banquet tables, and Han Qianqian was naturally invited to the main table.
Although Pei Lin’er, the Seventh Princess, was Pei Gu’s daughter, she was not favoured and could only sit at the guest table.
This is a living example of what it means to be a phoenix on a branch.
At the main table, apart from the Seventh Princess, there were several other good-looking women, very young, who should also be Pei Gu’s daughters.
Seeing the situation, Pei Gu felt that something was wrong, frowned and got up angrily, looked at Pei Hu coldly and shouted: “During the banquet, did my father not teach you manners? Or, do you want to rebel?”
Pei Hu and his group came to a halt in front of Pei Ku and the others, Pei Hu’s face was slightly cold as he gave a salute to his father and said, “Father, Pei Hu is loyal to the family and filial to his father, I would never dare to do something treacherous.”
“I have no other intention than to bring a group of people in, but I just want to ask a clear question.”
Pei Gu gritted his teeth and tried his best to suppress his anger: “Go ahead.”
“Father is treating Han Qianqian as his guest, does that mean that our Pei family has completely parted ways with the forces that we used to work with, or even become enemies with them?” Pei Hu said.
“So what if it is?” Pei Hu said in a cold voice.
“Father, other people have hundreds of thousands of troops and deep roots, so if we make enemies with them, have you ever thought about how dangerous it will be for my family? To put it politely, this could even bring about the destruction of my Pei family.
When these words were spoken, many people in the audience were shocked, and the voices of discussion on the stage were quietly rising at this time.
“A few hundred thousand straw men will also lose to a few tens of thousands of elites. Also, as the head of the Pei family, I have my own considerations on what to do, there seems to be no need to explain clearly to you, right?” Pei Ku said in a cold voice.
“Father naturally does not need to give an account to my son for what he does, but the power of the Pei family is shared by the Pei family, shouldn’t father give them an account?”
“To worship a trash as a guest and to turn against a great power, I am afraid that, father’s move, will not settle the hearts of the people, right?” Pei Hu snorted coldly.
Pei Ku’s face was icy cold as he cursed angrily, “You rebellious son, are you teaching me to do something? Also, apologise to the VIP at once, otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless to you.”
“If the king wants his subjects to die, they have to die, and what’s more, you are still my son’s father. But before I die, I still have to ask for clarity and understanding for the thousands of my subjects. Pei Hu was not afraid at all and said in a cold voice.
According to his budget, at worst, his father would have to compromise himself, and at best, he could take advantage of this to establish his authority and gain a deeper grip on the future family headship.
Or, even, ascend to the throne sooner.
“The Crown Prince has a point, and I would ask the Lord of the Family, to give an explanation.”
“That’s right, the crown prince is also thinking of the whole clan, although he has offended, but it is justifiable, please also ask the family head to explain in detail.”
Many of the prince’s party also took advantage of this to put up pouting words at the bottom, forcing Pei Gu to be in the court.
Seeing such a situation, Pei Gu’s brow was furrowed and his heart was anxious and angry.
“The family head has always acted in a measured manner, and he still has to explain to you and others? Who are you and others?”
“That’s right, the master of the family is supreme, how can he allow you to question him here? Where are the guards? Take down these traitors and rebels.”
Some people supported the Crown Prince, and naturally others supported the current family head, especially many of the patriarchs.
With these voices of support, many of the old courtiers also rose up and stood up for Pei Gu.
Although the guards took orders, they were hesitant for a while, as it was inappropriate to listen to either the old family head or the future family head.
But at that moment, Pei Gu spoke out, “Stop!”
