Han Qianqian did not answer, but his expression already said everything.
With a heavy sigh, he shook his head bitterly, “Actually, this matter should not be something that anyone can know about, whether it’s you guys or the Pei family.”
“Even, it’s my family head.”
Pei Ku?!
Han Qianqian’s brow furrowed, what did this mean? That meant that even Pei Gu himself, didn’t know what this matter was all about?
This was a bit beyond Han Qianqian’s expectation, because even though Han Qianqian had made many speculations and formulated a final plan, he still missed the point that Pei Gu did not know.
“You may not believe it when you say it. Nowadays, the Pei family is all under the control of the family head, so how could there be anything that the family head doesn’t know about?”
Han Qianqian nodded, not denying what he said.
Yes, this was the Pei family, and it wasn’t in fact possible for the family head, or the emperor, to not have eyes and ears to know what was happening in the land under his command.
Especially, this was still the main city.
At the foot of the Son of Heaven.
How could Pei Gu not know about it?
However, from the tone of this man’s voice, Han Qianqian could again hear that it did not seem like he was lying to deceive himself.
“You are trying to exonerate Pei Gu, right? Actually, there is no need to do so, because in the end, these are always your Pei family’s own family matters, and our alliance is strategic, so ……” Su Yingxia said.
She really was the woman who knew her best, and Han Qianqian was satisfied with his outburst at this time.
The man shook his head, “I don’t need to exonerate him, as you said, this is always a family matter for the Pei family, so why would I need to help him get off the hook.”
“Then why do you need to cover up for half a day?” Su Yingxia questioned.
He smiled bitterly, “I am reluctant to say anything because the family scandal cannot be disclosed. Can we talk somewhere else?”
Su Yingxia glanced at Han Qianqian, who nodded, followed by a movement in his hand, and a true energy directly covered the house that was on fire, instantly extinguishing the fire.
After that, he grabbed the man in black by the shoulders and disappeared in place.
When he appeared, he was already in an isolated corner room in the front hall.
Han Qianqian let go of him and said, “Now you can talk.”
He nodded, making sure that there was indeed no one around, before he heaved a sigh.
“Actually, I quite like Pei Mu, but I’m also aware that I’ve been the one harming him all along.”
“Yes, as you all said, the whole Pei Mu Furies thing was actually my doing.”
“He’s just a kid, and looking at your age you should be old enough, there should be no hatred between you, why did you do this to him?” Su Yingxia asked.
“There is no hatred between us, we can even say that we are relatives.”
“Kin and you’re still like this?”
“I don’t want to.” He smiled bitterly, “But for the sake of the entire Pei family, I can only sacrifice myself. Some things, someone has to be the bad guy, don’t they?”
“Why?” Han Qianqian asked.
“Because Pei Mu’s identity is not as simple as you think.”
Su Yingxia snorted coldly, “In fact, I don’t even want to ask anymore, because he himself has said that it’s a relative, but what is this relative for? It’s even better to slander Pei Mu with the Furies, the most abominable thing is that he also killed Pei Mu’s parents, as well as two families.”
“For such a beast, what is there to say to him.”
This, in fact, was what Han Qianqian was most confused about.
To slander a child and suppress his identity, these weren’t really incomprehensible.
But the problem was that it was fine to create other gimmicks, such as the disappearance of live animals, or to create rumours, but it was not necessary to kill so many people, was it?
Or killing Pei Mu’s parents, and, for that matter, several of his relatives.
This was not a reason that could be covered up, it was simply a straw man.
At least, his eyes were relatively clean.
The mouth can lie, but the eyes, it’s hard.
After gently patting Su Yingxia’s hand and comforting her emotions, Han Qianqian let out a long breath, “I believe you have your own hardships, right?”
“But I must know the full truth of the matter.”
“I can tell you this, Pei Mu, is Pei Ku’s brother!”
What?!
A stone stirred a thousand waves, Han Qianqian and Su Yingxia were almost simultaneously shocked ……
