What he said was truly astonishing.

Everyone present was shocked.

Even Gu Nanzhi's almond-shaped eyes were full of surprise. Unlike others, there was no anger on her face, and there was a hint of bright color in her eyes.

Asking to be removed from the family tree... It would be a blessing if he could really escape from the dirty Pei family!

I'm afraid... the old lady and the others won't allow it!

Sure enough, the old lady had a stern look on her face, and her voice was split in anger, "Pei Zhaojiang, do you know what you are talking about? How dare you?"

A lowly thing, only for them to practice, dare to have such a rebellious idea, want to abandon the family, who gave him the courage?

Mrs. Zhao was so angry that her face turned red and her neck was thick. She still had the air of a noble lady. She pointed at Pei Zhaojiang's nose and cursed: "You little beast, why are you climbing up a high branch? You turned around just to get away." You support your family! If there is no Pei family, who are you?"

"I'm telling you, you are being unfilial, ah! If you want to ask yourself to be removed from the family tree, just go ahead and dream! Even if you die, you will be a bastard of the Pei family. You are destined to be an unworthy person in this life. If I want to blame you, I will blame you. Unfortunately, he was born in the belly of a concubine."

Pei Luobai also had a gloomy expression, "Third brother, what nonsense are you talking about, why don't you kowtow to your grandmother and mother to admit your mistake, let's let this matter go."

Spring is getting warmer.

The young man's green shirt was stained with blood and had a heavy mist on it. Even though they were yelling at each other, his back was still straight, his clear face showed no signs of flinching, and his eyes were extremely firm, "I'm afraid we can't let this matter go!"

Seeing that he was confident, Gu Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief quietly. He had always been smart and would never fight an unprepared battle. Moreover, brother said that it was he who took the initiative to approach brother and offer advice to help the government suppress the war. Damn it, it shows that he already has a countermeasure.

"Grandma and mother, are you really looking forward to my coming back? Is it better for me to die in Black Dragon Mountain?" He had a gentle smile on his face, but his words were sharp.

This is something that everyone understands, but no one dares to pierce this layer of window paper.

His words were tantamount to tearing apart the faces of the old lady and Mrs. Zhao in public.

The old lady was so angry that her liver ached, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Mrs. Zhao looked vicious, "If you want to leave the Pei family, fine! I'll help you. I'll order people to invite the clan elders to reopen the ancestral hall and expel you, an unworthy descendant, from the family."

Gu Nanzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and she couldn't help but sweat for Pei Zhaojiang. The Zhao family was really cruel, and a scholar's reputation was the most important. If he really had the reputation of being an unworthy descendant and was expelled from the family, what would happen to him in his life? It was all ruined.

Pei Luobai looked down at him with cold eyes, "Third brother, if you want to leave the family, this is the only way. If you nod, I will personally invite the clan elders."

Pei Zhaojiang faced the morning light, his thin figure stretched infinitely, his voice was deep, and he chuckled, "Grandmother and mother probably don't know that Master has already found someone to salvage the carriage that fell into the moat."

He paused for a moment as he spoke.

Zhao's eyes flickered slightly, and he tried his best to maintain his composure, "So what?"

The old lady glared at her calmly.

Gu Nanzhi lowered his eyes, and a cold smile flickered across his mouth.

"Who would have thought that the underside of the carriage was full of lead? Is this really an accident? Or was it intentional murder? I'm afraid it can only be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for a thorough investigation. The truth will naturally come to light." Pei Zhaojiang raised his chin slowly, his face was gentle Looking at Mrs. Zhao, she said word by word: "What does mother think?"

Zhao suddenly clenched her fingers, her eyes froze for a moment, and she stared at Pei Zhaojiang fiercely, "What murder? It's just your guess. The carriage has been in the moat for so many days. How could you know that you didn't do anything on it yourself? Turn around and rake it backwards."

Gu Nazhi raised her almond-shaped eyes slightly, and he could easily see the guilt in her eyes. She snorted coldly in her heart, and soon her eyes fell on Pei Zhaojiang.

He looked calm, "This time I was kidnapped by bandits from Black Dragon Mountain, does mother know who did it?"

Mrs. Zhao snorted coldly, "I don't know! It's just your bad luck."

She thought she had done it cleanly, without leaving any clues, and looked confident.

The old lady raised her eyes and cast a look at her, her hand holding the beads slightly loosened.

There was a hint of ridicule in Pei Zhaojiang's eyes. He took out a piece of fluttering paper from his sleeve and said, "Mother, do you want to know what this is?"

Zhao gave him a disdainful look, "What does it have to do with me? Luo Bai, go and invite the clan elders to come over immediately. Our Pei family will never tolerate such unfaithful and unfilial people."

She said with a sneering smile, "Guess, after you are expelled from the family, Zhou Daru will still recognize you as a disciple? Will Yuelu Academy accept a student with bad morals like you?"

Pei Zhaojiang still looked calm and composed, "I advise mother to see what this is first! To avoid regrets in the future."

Pei Luobai couldn't help feeling suspicious when he saw what he said with certainty. He strode forward, took the paper in Pei Zhaojiang's hand, opened it for a quick glance, and suddenly his expression changed dramatically.
