Chapter 1148: Open ancestral hall
Chapter 1148: Opening of Ancestral Hall
She looked at him with some caution, said nothing and did not dare to move.
Pei Ziheng's deep voice was particularly magnetic in the night: "What, I am a tiger and can eat people?"
Xia Ling said: "You are more terrifying than a tiger."
Pei Ziheng remembered her remarks about tiger poison not eating its seeds, and sneered and said, "Are you satisfied now? The whole world knows that you are pregnant with my child." He spent the whole afternoon in the study thinking about this matter. How to deal with the aftermath? His phone was about to explode, and Pei Zhenyuan roared at him to go back to his ancestral home and give an explanation to the entire clan. Even Secretary Xie and Chu Chen are very concerned about the progress of the situation, and they are all fighting.
As a person involved, it's good that she still has the heart to sleep here.
Pei Ziheng looked at her wrapped up in a quilt and said solemnly, "Sometimes I really want to strangle you to death."
"Then just strangle me to death." Xia Ling said slowly.
The two of them were silent for a while, and then Pei Ziheng's voice came from the darkness: "Xia Ling, don't think that I can't bear it."
She felt a pain in her heart, but she pretended not to care: "Oh? Are you willing to do it?" Her love had been broken long ago, leaving only riddled with holes. If it weren't for the sake of her children, maybe she would really end her own life. life. She looked at the man in front of her, what a man she loved so deeply...
But, what can we do if we love deeply?
There are too many people and things in this world who are more powerful than her, and her attempt to change her destiny is like trying to use a mantis' arm to fight a chariot.
Pei Ziheng said: "Don't show your face these days. Let Chu Chen and I handle the outside affairs."
She was the one who had caused such a big disaster and still needed his careful care. If it had been anyone else, she might have died 100,000 times.
As long as Xia Ling doesn't abort the child, everything will be fine, so she has no objection. But after all, I was still concerned about the progress of the situation, so I asked: "How do you plan to deal with this matter?"
Pei Ziheng looked at her solemnly, and the look in his eyes made her heart tremble.
Suddenly, he said: "Is this the result you want? I have already agreed with the Wang family that I will tell all the media that my engagement with Wang Jingwan was just an accident. It was the fortune teller who said that Wang Jingwan was destined to have a life-or-death event. Tribulation must lead to happiness, and I am the person who matches the horoscope, so the Wang family approached me.
"Miss Wang Jingwan doesn't love me, and I don't love her either. Our relationship is just friendship and support. We originally planned to terminate our engagement soon after the wedding. But I didn't expect that Miss Wang still couldn't get through that. A life-or-death calamity. In this way, those outside discussions about me being in two different situations, or who is the third party between you and Wang Jingwan, will be put to rest, which will be good for the three of us.
"In addition, I will also tell the media that you and I really love each other, but I have been unable to marry you because of the wedding. In addition, Wang Jingwan is newly mourned. Even if it is out of politeness, I will not hold the wedding at this time. If it’s appropriate, I can only let you give birth to the child first and make plans later.”
This is the best result he can achieve by mediating between various forces.
As for other things, we will do it step by step from now on.
Xia Ling also knew that it was not easy to get such a result, and it could even be said to be an unexpected surprise. She never expected that her identity would be exposed to the sun after the desperate situation, letting everyone know that she was Pei Ziheng's serious lover. Sweet, sour, bitter and spicy came to my heart together, a mixture of five flavors.
Pei Ziheng looked at her and said, "One more thing. You will be removed from the Pei family's genealogy to avoid being scolded as a ***. In a few days, prepare to go back to the ancestral hall with me."
Xia Ling was stunned for a moment, suddenly feeling lost. Being removed from the family tree? More than ten years ago, she was adopted by him so happily, looking forward to spending the rest of her life under his gentle care. But what about now? She was only in her twenties, and she was only halfway through her life before she was about to be expelled and kicked out of the house in embarrassment.
Yes, get out the door.
It was her shameless desire to give birth to this child that pushed the whole thing forward, not his desire. From now on, she will no longer be part of the Pei family, she will no longer be the daughter of the Pei family, and she will never be the daughter-in-law of the Pei family. Even whether her son can join the ancestral home is a matter of debate. But...even if it was so difficult, she still couldn't give up the child in her belly.
That is her and his baby, a lifetime treasure.
Pei Ziheng took off his clothes and went to bed. He took her into his arms from behind and said, "Go to sleep."
Her back was pressed against his chest, feeling his body temperature and heartbeat, and she had the illusion of being loved. She raised her head and looked out the window at the starry sky, her mood fluctuating with the starlight. Behind him, his deep voice suddenly came: "I'm sorry, I only have so much love, but I will give it all to you."
Her mind was shaken and she said nothing.
Pei Ziheng didn’t speak any more, and the surroundings fell into silence again.
The Wang family cooperated with the emperor to publish a public relations release and held a media conference. They unified the tone and issued a "happy" statement. The Wang family can only do this, otherwise Pei Ziheng will definitely come up with something to make them more embarrassed and ruin Wang Jingwan's reputation. With the joint help of all parties, the story of Pei Ziheng and Xia Ling was portrayed as a romantic love, which fascinated countless people and wished them an early success.
Pei Zhenyuan was so angry that he threw the newspaper on the table with a slap and cursed: "What a perfect match, a match made in heaven, it's all nonsense! I think it's just a rooster and a dog robber, working together!"
Pei Jingyu patted him on the back to cheer him up: "Grandpa, things have come to this point, so don't make it too embarrassing. From now on, you will have to rely on your eldest cousin in the family."
Pei Zhenyuan even scolded her: "Didn't you just go to Xicui Lake? Why did you turn your elbows outward! If you do it the other way around, everything will go the other way!"
Pei Jingyu just smiled and said nothing.
Pei Zhenyuan slapped the table: "On the day when the ancestral hall is opened, I must make her look good!"
The day came soon. Accompanied by Pei Ziheng, Xia Ling wore a loose light blue dress and slowly walked into the ancestral hall from the door. Now she is almost five months pregnant, and her belly is already visible, but her face is still very beautiful. Anyone who looks at her will praise her as a beauty, and even many members of the Pei clan cannot take their eyes away.
She stood still under the ancestral tablet, feeling the substantial gazes coming from all directions, and her back straightened. Now that she has come to this step, she will not be afraid of such a scene. No matter whether these Pei family members look down on her, no matter what, they can't change any decision she makes.
The child is destined to be born.
The person in charge of presiding over the ceremony was a highly respected old man in the clan. Before officially crossing off Xia Ling's name, he had to read out her "sins" in front of the entire clan, and then listen to the old man explain them one by one. Thinking about it, they are all vicious words about people who do not keep their duty, are shameless, and are ungrateful.
