Because Lady Fang was a woman, and the one who suffered from Jian Xiao was her, she never showed indignation even if something was amiss, a fait accompli. She couldn't raise her head, couldn't straighten her back, for it was she herself who had agreed to this path in the first place.
In this household, Pei Qin, being Pei Loaer's biological daughter, had the most right to oppose Jian Xiao. Now that she had made her opposition clear, furious over the issue of Jian Xiao whose purpose was merely to ensure a male heir for the second branch—which by now already had a son—her demands for its annulment were completely justified.
Pei Houli could not oppose this. Should he even utter one word against it, that would send things spiraling in a bad direction.
