Chapter 573: Chapter 573: The Powerful Bullying People (1)_1

The Li family didn’t treat her well, looking down on her from their lofty position, especially after she had given birth to a girl instead of a boy, they were even less satisfied with her. After Li Baoxiang broke his arm and feared she would look down on him, he reluctantly started treating her a bit better. Sun Xiujin was not at all afraid of how the Li family would treat her. Divorce her? And after that still expect to find someone with her qualifications? They really think too highly of themselves!

Miao’s loved her daughter, who was a late-life child, and believed there was a reason behind her daughter’s wrongdoings, reasoning that if Pei Qin had not blocked her daughter’s path, things would have been different now. With a heart full of anger, she had to still treat Pei Qin as though she were her own sister, it was her daughter Xiujin who had been put in a difficult position!

Now they clung to a mere slip of paper, without even seeing that it was her daughter who wrote it, insisting it was evidence and demanding an explanation. Were they bullying them because they had no power or influence?

As Sun Lizheng worried about how to provide a satisfying explanation, he heard her continue to babble on and got up angrily, "Shut your mouth! Do you think just because our home life is comfortable, you have the right to destroy our entire household with your words?!"

Miao’s face turned green with his scolding and she retorted softly, "So the rich and powerful can bully others, and the weak and powerless are just supposed to take it?!"

"Who is bullying you?! Just because someone favored another over you, you think that person deserves to die for the crime?!" As Sun Lizheng let out these angry words, he also felt some fear, "You have spoiled and led our daughter astray! Failing to measure up yourself, you harbor resentment and plot against others, turning into such a fearsome person. How will you stand in the world in the future, educate your children?!"

"It’s not as bad as you make it out to be! She’s your own daughter, and even if you look down on her and suck up to others, you shouldn’t treat your flesh and blood in such a way! How can you still call yourself a father?!" Hearing his sharp words, Miao’s jumped up furiously.

"It’s because I, as a father, didn’t raise her properly, and I also failed to discipline you! Shut your mouth! If you bring disaster to our Sun family, I will not forgive you!" Sun Lizheng was so angry he wanted to hit her.

Unable to take it anymore, Miao’s replied, "We are all uneducated! Bringing trouble to the Sun family! If you have the guts, divorce me!"

The old couple started quarreling loudly inside the house, and the eldest daughter-in-law got dressed and came to stand at the door, listening for any developments so she could intervene early. However, she felt a chill in her teeth at Sun Xiujin’s resentment towards Pei Qin and her underhanded attempts to slander and secretly harm Pei Qin behind a facade of friendliness, and she felt an unwilling anger. Now that Sun Xiujin had done such things behind the scenes, Pei Qin would definitely not allow them to make a marriage alliance with the Fang family, agreeing to marry Tingyu into the Fang family.

Originally, this marriage proposal had been initiated, and just when it seemed Li Baolian would snatch it away, the situation took another twist. Now, Sun Xiujin had ruined it. Before, when she struggled to walk back home, Shen Songming had sent an attendant to say she was insistent on staying, and he was even willing to take her as a concubine. Unable to realize her dreams of wealth, she held a grudge against Pei Qin and committed such actions, causing such trouble for her own family.

They said not to let Li Baoxiang know, but he saw the note, and after hearing Sun Xiujin’s bitter words, and the late-night argument between Sun Lizheng and Miao’s, how could he not guess what was happening? His arm had gotten better before, and he had wanted Mo Heng to continue to instruct him in his studies, but had been refused under the pretext of caring for his pregnant wife. Now that Pei Qin had given birth to a daughter and was out of her confinement, his arm was also nearly recovered after having the cast removed, and with the imperial examination coming up in spring, Sun Xiujin had become someone who secretly harmed Pei Qin.

He was still a foster son of the Fang family, and he should have been on brotherly terms with Pei Qin, but at this critical moment, such an incident occurred. The Old Pei’s House and Zhang Shiqian who had offended Pei Qin had been severely punished, with Lady Zhu and Lady Chen, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who spread rumors, having their teeth forcibly removed. As for Sun Xiujin, the instigator who had secretly plotted all this, how would she seek revenge?!
