As soon as the words fell, Madam Liu suddenly rushed out.
With a heavy thud, she fell to her knees before Ren Tianye and cried out, Lord Duke, you... you cannot kill him! You cannot kill him!
You are supposed to execute Pei Jingzhi's entire clan.
My son has absolutely nothing to do with Pei Jingzhi!
Pei Jingzhi, whose mind was already in turmoil, froze upon hearing this. He raised his head in disbelief, looking at his son, and then at Madam Liu.
Not only Pei Jingzhi, but Ren Tianye also looked over in astonishment.
As did Wang Ming.
Su Jin reacted the same way.
Even...
Ren Tianye subconsciously exchanged a glance with Wang Ming.
Both men shared the exact same thought.
Why did this scene feel so reminiscent of what once happened at the Eldest Princess's estate!
Thus, Wang Ming said coldly, You say there is no relation, and we are just supposed to believe it? Hmph, who in this world doesn't know that this young man is Lord Pei's son, his one and only son!
No, no... Madam Liu cried out. He is not Pei Jingzhi's son! When Pei Jingzhi and I first got together, I was already pregnant. It was only because I was with child that I agreed to marry him!
Boom!
It was like a clap of thunder.
Only then did Pei Jingzhi realize the truth. Back then, when he cared for Madam Liu, who was drowning in sorrow after losing her true love, she wasn't moved by his gentle consideration. Instead...
Her pregnancy was about to show.
She couldn't hide it anymore!
No wonder Madam Liu had returned to her maiden home during the time she gave birth. So she was hiding all of this!
So, he, Pei Jingzhi, had spent decades raising another man's son?
Ren Tianye also understood the implication of these words, his mouth nearly dropping into an O shape.
No way?
He had only heard of this kind of drama before he time-traveled.
Now... he was actually witnessing it live?
And it was happening to the exceptionally talented Minister of the Imperial Household, the man who constantly put out fires for the Empress, Xiao Mingzhao!
He was a high-ranking minister, yet his life was this tragic?
Ren Tianye held himself back, keeping his facial expression neutral, but he shot a pointed look at Wang Ming.
Wang Ming understood instantly.
He deliberately gave Pei Jingzhi a meaningful glance before turning to Madam Liu. Since that is the case, this son is not included in Pei Jingzhi's immediate clan. In that case...
Let him go!
Having narrowly escaped death, the son's face flushed with extreme excitement. He looked as if he wanted to jump up and dance with joy, shouting excitedly, I knew it! I was right to disown Pei Jingzhi just now. If I had cut ties with him earlier, I wouldn't have even had to suffer this ordeal!
Pei Jingzhi's body trembled once more.
With slightly reddened eyes, he looked at... this son of his.
Even if they shared no blood, this was someone who had called him Father for decades. How could he be so... callous?
Was the grace of raising him so cheap, so utterly worthless?
However, what Pei Jingzhi expected even less was that it wasn't just the son; his two daughters were also eager to sever ties with him.
Though being held down, the two daughters struggled to rush toward Madam Liu.
Mother, Mother! We must be your true love's daughters too, right? We have nothing to do with Pei Jingzhi either, right?
Mother, you must have had triplets and given birth to us! We are all your true love's daughters. That must be it!
...
Unfortunately, their claims didn't hold water at all.
After all, there was a significant age gap between them and the son. Based on the timeline, they were undoubtedly conceived and born after Madam Liu and Pei Jingzhi were already together, so...
Wang Ming said, You two young ladies, stop dreaming.
He may not be Pei Jingzhi's son, but you two are his flesh and blood. You will accompany Pei Jingzhi in the execution of his clan.
Now...
Prepare to die!
However, just as Wang Ming finished speaking, Madam Liu rushed out once again.
R-reporting to the General! My two daughters are not Pei Jingzhi's biological children either! They have absolutely no blood relation to Pei Jingzhi!
...
