Chapter 908: Chapter 201: Entry Allowed_3

Pei Qin glanced at her, then went over to speak with Fang Fu for a moment.

Fang Fu nodded, went outside to make a gesture of farewell and told everyone to disperse. If there was trouble, they should pretend they knew nothing about it and closed their doors to resolve their family matters on their own.

Seeing that it was Pei Qin’s suggestion, everyone agreed and dispersed in groups. However, privately, they discussed the outcome of Fang Li’s romantic debt. Widow Yang was carrying a child, and Fang Li stubbornly refused to let her into the family. It might have been possible before, but now that Pei Qin had arrived, could Widow Yang still gain entry? It seemed impossible!

Widow Yang was also afraid and clutched Fang Li’s arm tightly. Now, without Fang Zhi’s support, she had to rely on herself to make Fang Li insist on marrying her!

Pei Qin no longer looked at the two of them, instead going inside to persuade Old Scholar Fang, Grandma Fang, and Lady Yu with a few words, "...my intention is to let Widow Yang enter the family."

"Qinqin!?" Old Scholar Fang disagreed. Once a precedent was set, the family could forget about having peace! Widow Yang had managed to sneak into the temple and fool around with Fang Li, carrying an illegitimate child, and was intent on entering the family with all her scheming—she would certainly disturb the peace of the household! They could not let her in!

Grandma Fang disagreed as well, "The family is already in shambles..."

Pei Yuan gently held Lady Yu’s hand and whispered, "To have or not to have, let her in, Aunt. It’s better to keep an eye on her and deal with her directly. Otherwise, before long, once your husband loses interest in her, she will be less than a servant in this household."

Pei Qian frowned, she also disagreed with letting that slutty Widow Yang enter the family. Even if she could manage her, she was going to accompany Fang Liuming to his post, and her mother-in-law was simply no match for that vulgar whore! Her gaze turned to Fang Liuming, who had yet to make a statement.

Fang Liuming, sensing her look, softened his somber expression by a touch. He understood his eldest sister’s reasoning, but the thought of his mother having to watch Widow Yang...

Lady Yu’s eyes were bloodshot as she clutched Pei Yuan’s hand, her lips pressed tightly, "I agree! Let her in! Allow him to marry her!"

"First daughter-in-law!" Grandma Fang called out to her, that wretched woman must not be allowed in!

Pei Qin gave her a reassuring glance, "Allowing Widow Yang into the family is to save your eldest uncle!"

Grandma Fang looked at her, then at Fang Li in the courtyard.

Fang Fu sighed, "There is no wall without cracks in this world, and what happened today will sooner or later be reported to the Government Office. Although ’without the people’s report officials do not investigate,’ if there is a complaint and it’s reported, eighty heavy strikes could land on Brother Fang, leaving him dead or crippled!"

Fang Li shivered inwardly upon hearing this. He didn’t want to be beaten! Eighty heavy strikes would kill him! He dragged Widow Yang over, "If I marry Yu Lan, it will be perfect! Then, even if others say something and report us to the Government Office, I’ll be completely justified!"

Widow Yang also realized that the situation had taken a turn—ultimately, this was a scandal. The higher their status, the more face they needed to save. They’d still choose to cover it up!

"You two were illicitly intimate, and yet you dare to speak of being completely justified?! You even went as far as to indulge in your flagrant liaison within the temple, and you still have the audacity to argue your case!?" Grandma Fang trembled with rage.

Fang Li’s face turned dark, stubbornly insisting, "In any case, Yu Lan must be let into the family now!"

"She can enter, but..." Pei Qin said, turning to look at Widow Yang, and briefly scanned her belly.

Widow Yang felt her heart tremble with anxiety under Pei Qin’s gaze, watching her warily as she gripped Fang Li tightly.

"But what!?" Fang Li asked aggressively.

Pei Qian spoke for him, "But this harlot’s child in her belly must be aborted!"

Widow Yang gasped, covering her stomach, "No! This is my child, you can’t abort my child!" She looked at the closed front door, the distancing crowd, without Fang Zhi around. She was alone as if she had fallen into a den of wolves, her face turning pale with fright.

Fang Li also glared resentfully, "Wicked woman! All you want is to harm Yu Lan’s child, so I can’t marry her, isn’t that right!?"

Pei Qian looked at him with his temples throbbing, wishing she could just disable him, "You want her to abort a bastard and enter our home? Let them go to the Government Office and take those eighty heavy strikes! Whether they die or become disabled, it’s none of our concern!"

Fang Fu frowned as well, "Big brother! Aborting the bastard child is entirely for your own good. If someone reports you and it goes to the Government Office, you deny everything, and without evidence, the Government Office won’t be forceful in beaing you. But with this bastard child as evidence of your illicit relationship, once those eighty strikes land, you both can contemplate the consequences yourselves!"

Widow Yang turned deathly pale, "Brother Fang..."

Fang Li’s expression was also unattractive. If it really came to going to the Government Office, the family couldn’t just stand by and watch him get beaten to death or crippled, could they?
