According to seniority, the man is Ye Qingyan's fourth uncle.

After the fourth uncle finished speaking, he looked at Pei Hengfeng, his eyes darkened slightly.

"Hengfeng, Qingyan has been outside all these years. Has she neglected some aspects? How can she act like a princess?"

Pei Jinyu said coldly: "So what? She doesn't need to do anything, of course I will support her."

He Shuwan also said: "The Pei family can't support it, so I will take the two children back to the He family. The Pei family has a high family status, and I can't afford it."

The woman on the side said, "What are you talking about? It's okay to live outside for twenty years. Now that I'm back, there's no reason to leave again. Shuwan, you still have to distinguish between your own family and outsiders."

Everyone present understood the meaning of the woman's words. Pei Hengfeng had been training Pei Jinyu, and now he had great power.

It would be fine if Pei Hengfeng's children were in power, but now an unknown person is in charge of the Pei family.

People from the collateral branch and the main family had complaints in their hearts. At first, Pei Hengfeng promoted that his son and He Shuwan had gone abroad.

Everyone definitely didn't believe it, but they couldn't find any evidence.

All the little tricks were stopped by Pei Jinyu and Pei Hengfeng. When they heard that Pei Qingyan was coming back, they rushed over early in the morning.

I wanted to see what was outstanding about this eldest lady who had been raised outside since she was a child, but now it seems that she is just mediocre.

Everyone immediately started talking.

"Yes, now that the real heir of the Pei family has returned, Jin Yu, it's time for you to give up the throne. At that time, Hengfeng Ke personally announced that Qingyan was the heir."

"Third uncle is right, it's time for Jin Yu to give way."

"Those who don't know better think that Jin Yu is Hengfeng's child, so where can we put the dignity of our royal family?"

"Yes, raising one's own children abroad, and now bringing back a woman claiming to be the eldest lady of the Pei family, is simply confusing the royal bloodline."

……

Pei Hengfeng's eyes were gloomy and he said coldly: "That's enough. If everyone comes here early in the morning just to talk about this, we're afraid we won't be able to entertain and see off the guests."

At this time, the old man sitting in the middle seat spoke.

"Hengfeng misunderstood. We are just outsiders. Naturally, we cannot interfere in your family's affairs. We do have something to discuss when we come here."

This man is from Pei Hengfeng's father's generation. According to his seniority, Pei Hengfeng should be called his second uncle.

The relationship within the Pei family is not very good. From the secret stumbling blocks before to the blatant accusations now, it symbolizes that the Pei family is not harmonious on the surface.

The wealthy nobles of Country C also want to bring down the Pei family. After all, outsiders can take charge of the royal family, so why can't they?

"Shuwan, take the children for a walk."

He Shuwan pulled Ye Qingyan and Ye Lanyao out and walked out. The female family members present also knew that these people wanted to talk and it was inconvenient to continue sitting.

We could only go to the back garden alone or two for company.

He Shuwan and Ye Qingyan sat in the courtyard, "Sorry, the Pei family is like this, selfish. They were polite to us before, but now they are becoming more and more blatant."

"It's okay. Our family has always been like this. As long as you don't care in your heart, you won't be hurt by those people's words."

He Shuwan looked at Ye Lanyao, her frown slowly relaxed.

"Yao Yao is right. If you don't care, you won't be sad."

At this time, a woman came over with a faint smile on her face, "Shuwan, so you are here."

Ye Qingyan recognized the woman in front of him, the woman who just said that her family should be distinguished from outsiders.

He Shuwan's eyes turned cold, "What are you doing here?"

"I have something to tell you."

"I have nothing to say to you."

The woman seemed not to have expected that He Shuwan would talk to her like this, and her eyes were very surprised.

"Shuwan, I haven't seen you for so many years. I didn't expect your temperament to change so much."

"Yanyan, Yaoyao, I will take you there to have a look."

He Shuwan took the hands of Ye Qingyan and Ye Lanyao and planned to leave.

The woman blocked their way and looked at them with a half-smile.

"This is the sister Qingyan recognizes from outside. Qingyan is supposed to be the eldest lady of the Pei family. I didn't expect Shuwan that you would let an outsider come in front of Qingyan."

Ye Qingyan's eyes were slightly cold, "Do you think everyone cares about power? I'm not, and I don't care about the position of the eldest daughter of the Pei family. There are people more important to me than that position."

"you……"

He Shuwan interrupted the woman, "That's enough, Zhang Keman, since you're fine, let's talk."

Ye Qingyan and Ye Lanyao were walking on the road, their expressions were very serious.

A girl from the front came over and whispered hello: "Hello...you guys."

Ye Qingyan smiled at her and said, "Hello."

"Are you really sister Qingyan?"

"Why do you ask that?"

The girl held her clothes in her hands and spoke hesitantly under the encouragement of Ye Qingyan's eyes.

"I heard from my father that something might have happened to Pei Qingyan a long time ago. Uncle Pei didn't want to let the matter out, so he announced that you were abroad. In order not to cause confusion, he randomly found a substitute and brought him back."

After hearing what the girl said, Ye Qingyan couldn't help laughing.

She asked, "What do you think?"

"I...I don't know, but I feel like you are sister Qingyan."

Ye Lanyao was also amused by the girl's simplicity and kindness, "Did you want to tell me, or your family asked you to come."

The girl raised a smile, her eyes sparkling, "I think you are a good person, and I don't want to see you bullied."

Ye Qingyan looked at those clear and bright eyes, feeling a little absent-minded.

She seemed to be so innocent in the past, until she experienced too many things, and her eyes no longer had stars, as if they were ashes.

"Then you are wrong. I am not a good person."

"That's not true. You don't know how awesome you were in the hall just now. Your fourth aunt was speechless and had nothing to say. I really wanted to laugh behind you, but unfortunately I didn't dare."

"What's your name?"

"Pei Li, Li of dawn."

After hearing this, Ye Lanyao's lips slightly raised, "It's a very nice name."

Pei Li looked at Ye Lanyao, his eyes shining, "You are sister Yaoyao, right? Did you two stay together before? I feel like you two have a super good relationship, which makes me very envious."

"Hello, I am Ye Lanyao."

"I know, I heard my father and the others discussing you two that day, as if it would be detrimental to you."

"Then how do you say it?"

"Because I think you two are good people. My father is just too profit-minded and doesn't have any malicious intentions."

Pei Li's eyes turned red as he spoke.

Ye Qingyan couldn't help but rub her head, "You don't need to explain, he is him, and you are you."

"Can I be your good friend? It's really not my father who asked me to get close to you. Everyone else looks down on me and no one wants to pay attention to me."

Pei Li rubbed his eyes and wiped away tears, trying not to cry.

She doesn't look very smart. People in the Pei family don't like her. Even her father says she is a fool.
