Pei Zongli didn't know what Lady Fang had written in her blood letter; he watched Old Pei holding it, considering giving it back to them.
But Old Pei couldn't return it, for after its return, the reputation of Old Pei's House would be ruined! With Lady Fang dead, those people would definitely pity them and would believe her nonsense, turning to curse and despise the Old Pei House!
This was precisely Lady Fang's intent. No matter how many people believed what her blood letter said, after her death, it would all be taken as truth! It would become fact! People would no longer look at Sister Peiqin and her siblings with the same disdain and contempt; they would not see them as beneath them anymore! This was the only thing she could do for her children now!
No one dared to stop Pei Qin; everyone made way, their eyes fixed as she carried Lady Fang's body out of the village, with San Ya, Si Ya, and the not-yet-five-year-old Pei Wendong following behind.
