Chapter 281: Paranoid Warlord and Vengeful Undercover (40)
As soon as Ruan Guannan said this, Wen Shuqin's face changed instantly. She quickly walked to Pei Shichang, pointed at the two people outside and said sternly:
"Look, Marshal. One is your good son, and the other is the woman you brought into the mansion. In the end, they both clearly wanted to kill our family!"
After saying that, she threw herself into Pei Shichang's arms and sobbed, "You have to think of a solution quickly. Sizhe is our only son. If he dies, I won't be able to live anymore..."
Pei Shichang was hugged by Wen Shuqin in front of him, and he couldn't push her away for a while. After all, she had been with him for so many years. He felt a little uncomfortable. He looked up at Pei Jingmo outside the window and asked with a sullen face:
"Jing Mo, you're just going to let her humiliate your family like this?"
"If this matter gets out, aren't you afraid that outsiders will point fingers at you and call you cruel, disloyal and unfilial? How can you hold on to your position as the Marshal then?"
Pei Shichang bombarded him with questions in quick succession, and the more he spoke, the more fluent he became, completely forgetting whether what he had done was worthy of forgiveness.
Pei Jingmo raised his eyelids and glanced at them. The smile on his lips looked sarcastic. "Cruel and ruthless? I don't deserve it."
After saying this, he moved closer, his expression darkening, "You killed my mother, and your wife and children persecuted my wife's family. How dare you talk nonsense here?"
He raised his hand to smooth down the hair of the person next to him. The murderous intent and coldness in his eyes instantly faded away, and were filled with tenderness and doting. "I am very satisfied with this proposal from my wife."
Ruan Guannan turned his head to look at him and did not object to the title of "Madam". The smile in Pei Jingmo's eyes deepened a little.
He picked up a pocket watch on his chest and looked at it. "Choose quickly, or no one will survive."
Seeing that there was no room for maneuver, Pei Shichang's heart sank to the bottom. He had been sitting in the position of Marshal for so many years, and he had long since learned to bow his head, let alone beg for mercy from his own son.
He had never felt so powerless as he did now, and his already not young face looked even more decadent and old.
Wen Shuqin, who was holding him, was even more desperate. She thought the Marshal would have a backup plan, and she didn't quite believe that her son would really kill her. As long as the Marshal didn't die, she and Sizhe would be fine.
She never expected that Pei Jingmo would be so cruel, and that the Marshal... would become so incompetent now!
Just as she was worried about herself and her son, she suddenly heard a muffled groan from above her head, and she staggered a few steps along with Pei Shichang.
She looked up in confusion, her pupils suddenly shrank, and she opened her mouth but couldn't even scream. It was obvious that she was terrified to the extreme.
"Si... Sizhe... you..."
Wen Shuqin trembled and looked at her son in shock, as well as the knife in his hand that was still dripping with blood. She then realized what was happening and began to tremble with fear all over.
Pei Sizhe stretched out his hand with difficulty to catch Pei Shichang who had fallen to the ground, squatted beside him and said sadly:
"Dad, Pei Jingmo is crazy. I am your only son. I cannot die. You will understand me, right?"
Pei Shichang's face turned red, and he grabbed his collar with all his strength, his eyes full of disbelief and anger.
This was the good son he had always protected. He was willing to offend his elder son for him. In the end, he was stabbed in the back by this rebellious son. He regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.
What’s funny is that he was actually considering letting him live just now, but the current situation really makes him want to kill him.
Pei Sizhe pried his hands apart little by little and released his collar. His expression was a little crazy. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he whispered:
"Don't worry, Dad. I will take good care of the son born to the eighth concubine after I get out. You can rest assured."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards Wen Shuqin in the corner, with both tears and smiles on his face.
Wen Shuqin was almost frightened to death. She looked at her son who kept approaching and kept shaking her head and crying:
"Si... Sizhe, I am your mother, you can't do this to me..."
A trace of pity flashed across Pei Sizhe's eyes, but it was quickly suppressed by the desire to live.
He squatted in front of Wen Shuqin, raised his hand and pointed at Ruan Guannan outside and said softly:
"Mom, do you know who she is? You killed her parents. As long as she's around, you won't be able to survive anyway."
After saying that, he raised his hand to tidy up Wen Shuqin's messy hair.
"My son is still so young. Can you bear to let me die in this dark place? Since you have killed so many people for me, can you save me again and die for me?"
Wen Shuqin stared at him blankly, then looked at Ruan Guannan outside, and finally understood the grudge with her. If Ruan Guannan was the child who escaped from the Ruan family that year, she would not let herself live.
After she figured it out, Wen Shuqin fell silent for a rare moment. She looked up at the son she had loved for so many years, and her heart was chilled.
"Okay, I'll make it happen for you."
After saying that, she snatched the knife from his hand, scaring Pei Sizhe so much that he immediately stood up and took a few steps back, which made Wen Shuqin feel disappointed and uncomfortable.
Finally, in front of Pei Sizhe's shocked gaze, he slashed his neck with a knife and died miserably in front of Pei Sizhe.
Pei Sizhe's expression was dull. After he came to his senses, he collapsed and yelled, crying and wailing while holding Wen Shuqin's gradually cooling body.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
The two people standing at the window looked indifferent, watching Pei Sizhe going crazy inside.
They really didn't expect that Pei Sizhe would be the first to take action. After all, no matter how damnable Pei Shichang and Wen Shuqin were, they truly loved Pei Sizhe and often covered up for him behind his back.
Now that he has been betrayed by his own children, it seems absurd and ridiculous no matter how you look at it.
Just when the two of them had no interest in watching any further, the shouting inside suddenly stopped.
The two men looked up suddenly and found that Pei Shichang, who had been lying on the ground for a long time, was still alive. He used his last bit of strength to strangle Pei Sizhe's neck from behind, and refused to let go no matter how Pei Sizhe slapped him.
"You are worse than an animal. You killed your father... and your mother. I... don't have a son like you."
In the end, Pei Sizhe was strangled to death by Pei Shichang, and Pei Shichang also used up the last of his strength, collapsed on the ground in a mess, and closed his eyes unwillingly.
A family that loved and respected each other ended up dying together on the same day in this way.
Ruan Guannan's revenge was finally achieved, and the depression that had been suppressed for many years was finally swept away. Looking at the tragedy inside, he whispered "blessings":
"How pitiful! I hope you can still be a family in your next life."
Pei Jingmo came back to his senses, and when he heard this "blessing", his expression was somewhat meaningful.
"I hope so."
