Is there any room for negotiation about her marriage? Is a person named Pei worthy of her coming to stay as a widow?

But when Master Cao heard this, his eyes lit up.

Yes, the Jiang family can legitimately annex the Pei family with this trick, and so can the Cao family.

If Cao Hui takes over the Pei family, within three years, the Cao family will be able to take over most of the Pei family's power and property and overwhelm the Jiang family through her status as the matron.

The Jiang family simply didn't say hello to them when they did this. People were divided, and the Cao family would naturally not give up the benefits they had gained for the sake of the other party.

So Head Cao stood up and Dayi Lingran said, "What a joke, are we, the Cao family, such treacherous people?"

"My daughter from the Cao family is very loyal and has only one husband's family in my life. My nephew died young, so my daughter from the Cao family will be married to his memorial tablet so that he can come to this world and not leave alone."

This is bullshit. Who doesn’t know that Master Pei has countless beautiful concubines? He has several concubines and concubines.

However, this was the Pei family's own proposal. Even if they knew what the Cao family had in mind, outsiders wouldn't have a problem with it.

Now it was the Jiang family's turn to be anxious. Head Jiang took a deep look at Pei Liang.

I had underestimated this girl before, and they easily separated the two families. Their previous calculation gave this girl an opportunity to take advantage of.

Cao Hui quit. She looked at her father in disbelief, "Dad? I won't marry!"

Leader Cao's face darkened, "You have no business speaking."

Seeing that the marriage is about to be finalized, marrying a dead person is different from marrying a living person who observes filial piety. The sooner the better.

Seeing this, the Jiang family couldn't sit still. Boss Jiang and Jiang Xun were fine. They were deep in thought and kept their faces under control, but they forgot that they had brought a stick-like Jiang Wu with them today.

Jiang Wu said, "Instead of Miss Cao marrying into the Pei family, it would be better for Miss Pei to marry my nephew as soon as possible."

"No matter how good Miss Cao is, she can only take care of the back house. She still needs a man to support you. Otherwise, like today, anyone can bully and extort you orphans and widowed mothers."

"My niece, do you think so or not?"

Pei Liang looked at Jiang Wu with a blank look on his face, "What Uncle Jiang Shi said is true, but our Pei family does not lack a person at the helm to support the family. We just lack a mistress to manage the back house."

"I am getting married to Senior Brother Jiang in advance. Is it possible that Senior Brother Jiang is not willing to be the son-in-law of my Pei family? Otherwise, it will be beyond our reach. This proposal is not fruitful, and it disturbs my filial piety for my father, brother and grandmother. Why did Uncle Jiang say this?"

Jiang Wu was anxious, "I'm afraid my niece is too sad and talking nonsense. Now that both your father and brother are dead, and the old lady is gone, is there anyone in the Pei family who can intimidate me?"

When Pei Liang heard this, his eyes fell behind him, which was in the direction of the entrance to the mourning hall.

Then a smile appeared on his face, "Thank you Uncle Jiang Shi for worrying about my Pei family's concerns, but I am afraid that Uncle Jiang Shi has forgotten that my grandfather is not a descendant of my father."

Pei San? That thing that can't support the wall, let alone support the lintel, just standing there is a joke.

And it's not that Mrs. Pei or Pei San was so angry that she was still locked up right now?

As Jiang Wu thought this, he noticed that the expression of his brother, Master Jiang, suddenly changed.

What kind of expression is that? It's like the expression where all the plans have been exhausted, but the most important part has been forgotten, and all plans have failed.

Others around him also took a breath, many people were shaken, and even had excited looks on their faces.

Jiang Wu didn't understand why and turned around.

Then I saw a strange, yet somehow familiar man walking in.

The other party only wore a plain green robe, his hair was neatly styled and fixed with only a wooden hairpin, and his beard was cleanly shaved. He looked to be in his early thirties.

But everyone present knew that this man was over fifty.

Several old friends present stood up excitedly, "Brother Pei, where have you been all these years? Are you finally back?"

Only then did Jiang Wu remember that the person who came was actually Pei Ye, the eldest brother of the head of the Zhanyue Sect, the previous head of the Zhanyue Sect, who had unparalleled martial arts skills and was famous in the martial arts world.

He was stupid, and so were the Jiang family and Cao family.

Pei Ye disappeared for more than ten years, and the world has long forgotten him. No one knows his whereabouts, and many people even assume that he is dead.

Sect Leader Pei came to this position in a disgraceful way, so he never mentioned his elder brother outside, and only sealed the back mountain, so that no one knew that Pei Ye, who had been missing for so many years, was actually at Zhanyue Villa.

If Pei Ye were here, with his martial arts character, talents and connections, it wouldn't matter whether Leader Pei died or not.

Those who thought that the Pei family was in decline and that the family was full of orphans and young children, and even those who had their own thoughts, immediately put away their thoughts.

At this time, everyone came up and were excited about Pei Ye's appearance, but Pei Ye said calmly, "You don't have to be polite."

"Pei has become accustomed to being quiet over the years, and will not go out unless there is something important in the future. It is only because my niece took over the position of head at a young age to prevent Xiaoxiao from bullying her when she is young, so I just came down the mountain to provide support."

As soon as these words came out, even Pei Liang was a little surprised.

However, Uncle Pei has no intention of killing anything at the Moon Gate. He is a madman but not a fool. After a few days, he will naturally know Pei Liang's abilities clearly.

He also knew that all she needed was to be deterred by force, so why bother caring about anything else?

As soon as Uncle Pei spoke, the dispute over the position of head of Zhanyue Sect was over before it started.

After all, even after disappearing for many years, Uncle Pei still has more prestige for Zhanyue Sect than Head Pei, and he is the truly talented and virtuous helmsman in everyone's mind.

Many people who had the ambition to succeed were promoted by him in the past, but now Uncle Wu Youyou and Pei are intimidated, and Miss Wenyou has performed well recently, and she was able to thwart the ambitions of the Jiang and Cao families just now.

Where is the sign of decline in Zhanyue Sect?

The Jiang and Cao families felt extremely regretful at this time, and Japan came with the intention of annexing the Pei family.

But what was the result? None of the benefits from the Pei family were torn away, but a large amount of money was cut off that was enough to make them feel heartbroken.

The Cao family is even more unlucky. They have even promised to marry their daughter. As the legitimate daughter of the Cao family, Cao Hui's marriage is naturally a big bargaining chip, but now it is given to the Pei family for free?

It is said that she is taking care of the back house, but what kind of virtue is Cao Hui? How can she do three things under Pei Liang's mind?

If the Cao family can't reach out, then what's the point of giving away a daughter for free and adding a dowry to get in?

Seeing that everyone around them was paying attention to Pei Ye, the Cao family hoped to fool him today and think of something later.

As a result, Pei Ye suddenly turned around and said to Head Cao, "Brother Cao understands the righteousness, let's go back to the topic just now."

"Since the Cao family still plans to marry their daughter to my Pei family, let's get married as soon as possible before my nephew is far away from Huangquan! It's also a good idea to give him a warning that he has a wife."

Leader Cao broke into a cold sweat, and Cao Hui even collapsed——

"Why? Dad! I don't want to marry a dead person. What's the point of a marriage contract when people are dead?"

Then he pointed at Pei Liang, "Your Pei family broke your engagement with the Han family. Why do you ask me to come here and be a widow?"

Pei Liang smiled and said, "Miss Cao is serious. What she said just now, but everyone here can hear it clearly. My Pei family has given you a choice and has never meant to coerce you."

"Headmaster Cao made the decision from the beginning to the end, but now he blames my Pei family?"

The people around were suppressing their laughter. Everyone was well aware of the Cao family's plan. Before, she was still the eldest daughter of the Pei family - no, now she should be the head of the Pei family.

Previously, I thought that Head Pei had no choice but to dig a hole for the Cao family. The Cao family was so smart, but now they couldn't get out of trouble.

But Cao Hui didn't care about this, she said in a cunning manner, "I don't care, unless you resume your engagement with the Han family, otherwise -"

"sure!"

Cao Hui's unspoken words were stuck in her mouth. Perhaps she was imagining that the Pei Jiang family had long wanted to break off their engagement. Cao Hui suddenly heard Pei Liang say this.

For a moment, he forgot his own situation, and his face showed surprises, including the fire pomegranate behind him.

She ignored it and said, "Really?"

Pei Liang hasn't answered yet, but the Jiang family is not happy.

Jiang Xun said quickly, "Junior sister Cao must be careful. Marriage matters are subject to the parents' orders and the words of the matchmaker. Previously, Pei Shibo had his own considerations when he terminated the engagement with the Han family. As children, we just have to obey."

"Now, Junior Sister Liang and I are officially an unmarried couple, and Junior Sister Cao will also get married, so why do we need your advice?"

Cao Hui looked at Jiang Xun in disbelief, her eyes filled with sadness and pain, and tears fell down.

It's not like Head Cao didn't know that his daughter had a crush on Jiang Xun, so he wanted to scold her back to prevent her from making a fool of herself again.

Unexpectedly, Pei Liang, who was at the center of the accident, watched the excitement and did not mind that the incident was serious.

He asked in a confused tone, "What is Junior Sister Cao doing? Those who don't know would think that you and Senior Brother Jiang were lovers and were separated."

As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Xun, "Senior brother seems to like to brag and show off in front of Junior Sister Cao. If you two are based on status, we will be sister-in-law and brother-in-law from now on."

"Although people in the world don't stick to trivial matters, are you two acting for me by crying Ai Ai?"

Jiang Xun quickly explained, "Junior Sister Liang, please don't misunderstand me. I only have a brother-sister relationship with Junior Sister Cao. I don't do anything outrageous, let alone have any ambiguous thoughts."

"I, Jiang, only have Junior Sister Liang in my heart, and I will only recognize you as my wife in this life. My feelings for Junior Sister Liang can be learned from the sun and the moon. If I say anything false, I would rather be struck by thunder from the sky."

In the eyes of the ancients, especially those in the world of martial arts, this was the most serious oath.

Even just now, I felt that something was wrong between Cao and Jiang, but now I just thought that Miss Cao was infatuated and made a mistake.

Also, who in the world does not regard the jade-faced Young Master Jiang Xun as the lover of their dreams? There are so many women who are obsessed with him. It is really rare for Young Master Jiang to refuse the temptation and devote himself to his fiancée.

There was a sect of female warriors present, and when they saw this, they also looked at him approvingly, and they were very envious of Pei Liang.

When Cao Hui heard Jiang Xun swearing like this, her heart ached.

Head Cao quickly pulled her back and said in a deep voice, "If you don't want to be locked up at home and never see Jiang Xun for the rest of your life, then just go ahead and make a fuss."

Cao Hui stopped making trouble, but before Master Cao could let go, Pei Liang startled everyone with his words again.

She said warmly, "Of course I belong to Senior Brother Xinjiang. In this way, the misunderstanding will be resolved."

"Last month, our brother and sister invited senior brother, junior sister Cao, and uncle and aunt Jiang Shi to the hot spring resort. It turned out that senior brother and junior sister Cao were naked on the stone platform of the hot spring, using each other's bodies to rub each other's pancreatic soap, right?"
