Unable to withstand the pressure from her family, Lady Zhu claimed that Pei Qin and her siblings were indeed descendants of Old Pei's House. Since Pei Qin and her sisters would eventually marry, Pei Wendong would have to return to Old Pei's House, and the imperial rewards would belong to them! Sooner or later, it would all come to them!
After a few words from Qian Wanxiu, Pei Zongli came back and said, being looked down upon now was only temporary. Decades later, even a century later, once Old Pei's House had become an aristocratic family, people would only look up to the descendants of Old Pei's House and admire the formidable ancestors. No one would question whether the rewards from The Imperial Court should belong to them. Those who spoke ill were just sour grapes, driven by jealousy.
The Imperial Court's rewards had already been issued, and there was nothing more Old Pei could say. He could only kneel and accept them.
