Qian Wanxiu had no choice but to compromise.
Pei Qin then asked, "What are the rules for promoting a concubine to the principal wife?"
With one question, the faces of Pei Zongli, Qian Wanxiu, and several others all turned green.
"You shameless creature! Wanxiu has already been humiliated enough, agreeing to perform the rites as the succeeding wife, what more do you want!? Who do you think you are!?" Lady Zhu wished she could tear Pei Qin's mouth apart.
Qian Wanxiu trembled with anger and cried with a face full of pear blossom tears, "Pei Zongli! I humbled myself to marry you, bore you two sons, never wronging you in any way, yet you let me suffer today's indignity!"
"Wanxiu…" Pei Zongli was also unwilling, but now that he had returned, he could not fail to consider the overall situation of Old Pei's House.
