Chapter 178 You're So Cruel
Sun Wuguo shoved him away, yelling, "You're crazy!"

"Sun Wuguo, you beast! You have more than one mistress, and you even frequent prostitutes! You are disgusting and filthy!"

"Who knows if what he said is true? You crazy woman, you pounced on me without even knowing what happened. If I fall, do you think you'll have a good ending?"

Pei Yuanjun threw the evidence on the table at Sun Wuguo: "See for yourself!"

Looking at the evidence in his hand, Sun Wuguo could no longer act arrogantly!

"Yuanjun, you must save my brother-in-law! I was just momentarily blinded by greed! Even if you don't think of me, you should at least think of your sister, right?"

Pei Yuanjun said gently, "So I bought the evidence at a high price and saved my brother-in-law's life, preventing you from spending the rest of your life in prison. Shouldn't you thank me?"

"But...you are clearly the prime minister, these are just simple matters, why do you insist on removing me from my post?"

Pei Shuya and her mother, Madam Wang, were slightly surprised. He had just said that Yuanjun was the Prime Minister? The Prime Minister, who was second only to the Emperor?

Pei Yuanjun observed Qi Yunran's expression and saw that there was no unusual look on her face.

A deep, unfathomable glint flashed in his eyes!

"If that's the case, why did you dismiss your brother-in-law from his post, Dalang?"

"What you're saying, sister, is truly hilarious. Even if I were the prime minister, I would still have to follow the rules of the court! Do you think you own the palace? Or do you think I would risk the crime of deceiving the emperor and having my entire family executed to help you?"

Upon hearing the heinous crime of exterminating nine generations of one's family, Pei's mother's heart pounded wildly; she had no desire to die!
She hasn't even enjoyed the riches and honors yet!

"Besides, sister, with your brother-in-law like this, you no longer need to worry about him finding a mistress. You also don't need to worry about that mistress daring to threaten your position!" He won't even think about going so far as to sell his sister-in-law off!
“You…” Sun Wuguo felt a little guilty!
"Brother-in-law, you'd better treat my sister well, or I'll take this evidence to court and let the Emperor decide."

"You...you're so vicious...humph..." Sun Wuguo, nearly driven mad with anger, angrily flung his sleeves and left.

Although Pei Shuya was unhappy with Sun Wuguo keeping a mistress, as long as Sun Wuguo remained powerful, she was still, at least, an official's wife. But now she had nothing!
"Big brother, please help your brother-in-law! Don't give him a promotion, just let him stay in his original position, okay?" Pei Shuya pleaded.

Pei Yuanjun's eyes were icy cold: "What gives you the right to say this, sister? When you wanted to sell my wife, did you get her consent?"

Pei Shuya stared at Pei Yuanjun with wide, horrified eyes: "So, this is... revenge against me?"

Pei's mother's hands trembled slightly; she had been blinded by greed. She regretted it! If she had known her son cared so much about Qi Yunran, she wouldn't have laid a finger on her.

"Revenge? Sun Wuguo didn't make a mistake and get investigated; I saved his life, and you still blame me? Then I don't need a sister like you!"
"Mother, please don't come to me with these thankless tasks anymore. After all, a married daughter is like water spilled from a cup. It's best not to keep running back to your parents' house! Otherwise, people will laugh at you!"

Wang was too taciturn to utter a sound, and Yuanjun looked at her with a strange and distant gaze.

After Pei Yuanjun finished speaking, he pinched Qi Yunran's stunned and incredulous face.

He took her back into the house.

Qi Yunran snapped out of her disbelief.

Is this what Pei Yuanjun meant by not letting anyone who hurt her get away with it?
Given Pei Shuya's consistently arrogant personality, wouldn't she go crazy if her dream of becoming an official's wife were shattered?
Wang had always hoped that Pei Yuanjun would take her to the capital to enjoy wealth and luxury, but now she knew that Pei Yuanjun harbored resentment towards her.

Even if she went to the capital, she wouldn't dare to act rashly unless Pei Yuanjun explicitly forgave her. Instead, she would carefully observe Pei Yuanjun's expression.

Why did she inexplicably feel so good?

Haha, that's hilarious!
