This is the best demonstration of what is meant by a depth charge.
Pei Ku is not old, he is a hundred years old, if not eighty, and this can be seen in his cultivation level.
And Pei Mu, around only sixteen years old. The difference between Pei Gu’s age and that of the other two can be seen.
The difference in age, Pei Gu as Pei Mu’s grandfather is enough, but, these two are brothers.
How could the two couples not be at a loss, not be frightened, not be surprised?
“Brother?” Su Yingxia frowned: “This is not possible, right? The difference in age between the two of them ……”
The black shadow smiled gently, “This is the truth.”
Su Yingxia wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Han Qianqian.
Han Qianqian smiled gently, “He should be telling the truth, because only then would everything also make sense. It’s also the same problem we mentioned before, this incident doesn’t look like Pei Gu did it.”
With Han Qianqian’s reminder, Su Yingxia also seemed to reflect on it.
When she thought about it, it seemed that, some parts did make sense.
“Actually, this is the old family head’s scandal.”
“Before the family head ascended the throne, the old family head still held all the affairs of the Pei family, and at that time, the Pei family was in the early stages of development and had just the right momentum. The family head, because of his youth, was always leading the army in external battles, while the old family head handled internal affairs.”
“But at the time of development, there were so many affairs that the old family head worked day and night.”
“One day, after dealing with official documents, he drank some wine, and it happened that a female slave ……”
“After this incident happened, the old family head regretted it. After all, he was already an old man and doing such a thing would inevitably make people sigh and even more outsiders talk.”
“The old family head did not want to damage the Pei family’s reputation, and even more so, he ordered me to secretly send that female slave out of the house, and gave her a sum of money, and also asked me to arrange a marriage for her.”
Hearing this, Han Qianqian basically understood.
Pei Mu’s father, in fact, was not his real father, to be precise, he just had a catch.
“Actually, everything manipulated was still okay. But who knows, that slave girl got pregnant.”
“And as her belly got bigger and bigger, something started to get hidden.”
“So, you started killing people?”
He nodded, “There was no way out, if outsiders knew that Pei Mu was the old family head’s son, think about where the old family head would have gone. And think about what kind of changes would happen to the Pei family at that time?”
“Understood.” Su Yingxia also nodded.
Both the man and the woman’s families had been exterminated, in fact, because of suspicions and perhaps even the knowledge that the child was someone else.
To avoid them investigating in order to create trouble, simply he did not do anything about it.
“When the child is older, many things become more and more brutal, therefore, in response to such a situation, I devised such a ploy.”
“To make Pei Mu a complete bogeyman that everyone dislikes.”
“In this way, no one will get close to him, and naturally, no one will know his secrets.”
“Of course, this will also save his life, it’s better than killing him, right? He is, after all, still the son of the old family head.”
Understanding and understanding, no wonder when the two couples, Han Qianqian, reviewed the matter before, they always felt that every analysis seemed to be able to tell the story clearly, but they would always be badly buttoned up on the key link.
It turns out that, from the beginning to the end, they had all locked their eyes on Pei Gu, and had never thought that the old family head would have an old son.
This conjecture was indeed too bold and too pie-in-the-sky.
“This matter has been known to me alone since the old family head pa*sed away, and has nothing to do with others.” The black shadow finished and looked at Han Qianqian, “I also hope that Young Warrior Han and Your Ladyship can keep their mouths shut after learning this secret.”
“Of course, if you stand on Pei Mu’s side, you can also kill me at any time; this life of the old man should have accompanied the old family head a long time ago.”
“This is your family matter, I have no right to dispose of you. However, do you really intend to keep Pei Mu in the dark like this for the rest of your life? Is it fair to him that he is targeted at every turn because of his status, yet he has not gained a single benefit because of it?” Han Qianqian asked.
“I know I’m sorry for him, but I have no other choice. For the sake of the old family head’s reputation, I can only ……”
Su Yingxia stepped forward at this moment, “Can I say something?”
