Grandma Pei's heart seethed with hatred. She had overseen Lady Meng for so many years, yet she allowed herself to commit adultery with Pei Houli. It didn't matter whether she resented Lady Meng or Pei Houli, both were despicable, worse than pigs and dogs! They even dared to throw a stone at her, so she resolutely brought both Lady Meng and Pei Houli to the Government Office.
Lady Meng was not well-known, but being the daughter-in-law of a Lizheng family and committing adultery made her the subject of intrigue. Especially since the man she committed adultery with was Pei Houli of Old Pei's House's legal wife, the lecher who had coerced his brother's widow, Jian Xiao!
Old Pei ordered Pei Houli not to confess, "If you confess to adultery with that Lady Meng, you'll ruin your reputation for life, and Wenli's reputation will be destroyed too!"
