Chapter 929: Give you million!
Leave the Pei family!
The moment these words came out of Pei Runnian's mouth, even though Pei Qingniao had already vaguely guessed what Pei Runnian meant, his heart still felt as if a huge rock had fallen down, and it began to shake violently.
For a moment, Pei Qingniao was shocked, but also felt an instinctive joy and relief after escaping a desperate situation.
But this joy and relief did not last long, and turned into an intense and inextricable heaviness and panic.
Indeed, under the current situation, leaving the Pei family, or escaping from the Pei family can indeed be said to be the only solution to avoid Pei Qingniao's fatal disaster.
Within the Pei family, under the pressure of overwhelming opinions from everyone in the Pei family, Pei Runnian simply could not and would not be willing to protect Pei Qingniao.
If Pei Qingniao was a rare genius, or a person with important interests involved, then Pei Runnian might be able to risk his reputation as the head of the family and use his authority to forcibly keep her.
But in the final analysis, Pei Qingniao was just a woman who was like a plaything in bed. She was rewarded with a job by Pei Runnian only because she slept with Pei Runnian and gave birth to a son. Then, with the help of Pei Runnian's power as the head of the family, she had the glory and status she has today.
However, all this glory and status were destroyed by Pei Qingniao himself when he abandoned Pei Xingchen and ran back to the Pei family alone.
Pei Qingniao abandoned Pei Xingchen without authorization, leaving Pei Xingchen alone in front of Tian San, Tian Qi and Qin Tianshuang, causing all the secrets of the underground base of Tianbo Building to be exposed and causing the Pei family's reputation to be ruined. Such a shameless operation and such a bad influence, if Qingniao was not dealt with, Pei Runnian's own authority as the head of the family would be greatly affected, let alone thinking of taking advantage of the death of Pei Qinghai and Pei Qingwu to gather the power of the fourth and fifth houses.
Because the fourth and fifth rooms will definitely not accept this. How can a patriarch who indulges his women and ruins the reputation of the Pei family, but does not take any action, be qualified to be the master of the fourth and fifth rooms?
If one is not careful at that time, it may very likely lead to internal turmoil in the Pei family, or even a serious crisis such as infighting.
Therefore, if Pei Qingniao continued to stay in the Pei family, he would certainly not be able to avoid being beheaded.
But Pei Qingniao is a human being after all, and she certainly doesn't want to die. In this case, there is only one way out left for her, which is the one pointed out by Pei Runnian, and that is to leave the Pei family!
Or, it would be more accurate to say, escape from the Pei family!
Once he left the Pei family, even if he was branded as a fugitive for fear of crime, it would still make the Pei family extremely angry. However, there was a powerful enemy like Chu Longtu who was eyeing him covetously from the outside, and the head of the family, Pei Runnian, was protecting Pei Qingniao from the inside. They could easily shift the conflict to Chu Longtu by finding an excuse that they needed internal unity in the face of a powerful enemy.
Once a war breaks out with Chu Longtu, how many people will still remember Pei Qingniao’s bad deeds?
Everyone has run away, and there are continuous battles ahead. Unless someone is really idle and has nothing to do, he will probably not let go of Pei Qingniao.
On the contrary, by then no one would probably remember who Pei Qingniao was. Instead, everyone would be attracted by the bloody battle in front of them and the countless opportunities to get promoted, and would not continue to pursue Pei Qingniao's existence.
You know, once a full-scale battle with Chu Longtu begins, the internal conflicts of the entire Pei family will be transferred to external battles, and at the same time, these battles also contain endless opportunities.
Apart from anything else, with the death of Pei Qinghai and Pei Qingwu, two positions of elders in the Pei family were left vacant.
Even if Pei Runnian wanted to completely subdue the fourth and fifth houses, after he subdued them, it would be impossible for him to personally handle all the affairs of the fourth and fifth houses.
Pei Runnian was too busy and there was no need to do that.
The reason why the Pei family designed the position of elders was, on the one hand, to favor certain clan members who were older and had made greater contributions, and on the other hand, to select some leaders of various factions to serve as assistants to the head of the family, who could help the head of the family manage and deal with the internal affairs of the Pei family.
Therefore, even if Pei Runnian finally conquered the Fourth and Fifth Houses, he would definitely re-establish the elders and select two obedient elders to help him manage the affairs of the Fourth and Fifth Houses.
Moreover, these two elders must be from the fourth and fifth houses.
The reason for doing this is not only because we need help to manage the fourth and fifth rooms, but also to appease the people in the fourth and fifth rooms.
After all, the fourth and fifth houses have been alienated from the family represented by Pei Runnian for ten years. Even if they were to join Pei Runnian's team, they would certainly be uneasy. Even if they bowed to Pei Runnian, they would certainly wait and see.
After all, there are too many things like abandoning the donkey after it has done its job and destroying the bridge after crossing it, and it is not uncommon.
If Pei Runnian chooses to select two people from the clan to serve as the elders of the fourth and fifth houses, then there is no doubt that the fourth and fifth houses will be furious, thinking that Pei Runnian does not trust the fourth and fifth houses at all, and that the so-called appeasement before was nothing but a deception of them, and that they will eventually be completely separated and incorporated into the clan.
How could the people from the fourth and fifth rooms allow this?
All their future and interests are too closely tied to the Fourth and Fifth Houses. If they are split up and the personnel are dispersed, those clansmen who originally held high positions in the Fourth and Fifth Houses will instantly become penniless, and the wealth, shares, and interests belonging to the Fourth and Fifth Houses in their hands will also be split up. Their own interests have been severely damaged, and it is very likely that they will fall directly from high positions to become small fry who are penniless and can only bow their heads and rely on Pei Runnian. It would be incredible if they could endure this!
Therefore, if the elders of the Fourth and Fifth Houses do not come from their respective branches, then there is no doubt that the Fourth and Fifth Houses will immediately raise the banner of rebellion and start a civil war without saying a word. That will be a real big trouble!
Therefore, in order to appease the people of the Fourth and Fifth Houses and completely control these two branches in his own hands, Pei Runnian would certainly not transfer people from other places, but would only select people from the Fourth and Fifth Houses themselves to serve as elders.
In addition to the elders, there will definitely be many transfers among the other deacons in charge of management affairs of the Fourth and Fifth Houses, and many positions will definitely be vacant by then.
These positions will inevitably be seen as opportunities for many frustrated members of the Pei family to rise to the top overnight, and they will definitely fight for them.
When that time really comes, the Pei family will be in a state of chaos among themselves. Who will remember Pei Qingniao's little thing? They will have forgotten about her long ago.
And Pei Qingniao was truly safe.
It was because Pei Qingniao understood this that she felt happy and relieved, because her life was saved.
But it is easier said than done. However, if you really want to escape from the Pei family, it is not as simple as just talking.
The prospect after escaping from the Pei family was the reason why Pei Qingniao suddenly felt so heavy in his heart.
Who is Pei Qingniao?
To put it nicely, she is Pei Runnian's beauty, to put it bluntly, she is a canary.
Born in the Pei family, because the Pei family passed down martial arts from generation to generation, he possessed mediocre martial arts skills.
And because she followed Pei Runnian and gave birth to a son for him, she was given a position and assignment with Pei Runnian's support. After a long period of influence, she also gained some vision.
But besides this, what else does Pei Qingniao have?
She has nothing!
She has no grand vision, no foresight, no decisiveness, no resolute responsibility, and even lacks the most basic ability to make a living.
Born in the Pei family, Pei Qingniao has truly never earned a penny by himself since he was born!
If she is a person who only knows how to spend money but not how to make money and has no way to make a living, and she is asked to escape from the Pei family, what can she do?
Even if he gave her some money before running away, considering Pei Qingniao had no idea how to make money, it would only be a waste of money!
Considering the enjoyment Pei Qingniao has enjoyed in the Pei family for so many years, even if she is given more money, if she does not have enough income, Pei Qingniao will most likely spend it all in a short period of time.
What will Pei Qingniao do when the money is gone?
It was precisely because of thinking about such a realistic and heavy prospect that Pei Qingniao felt such intense panic and depression in her heart, because she was confused!
Leaving the Pei family could certainly save her life, but Pei Qingniao really didn't know what to do!
That's why she is called a canary!
She spent the first half of her life enjoying endless wealth and glory in a cage called the Pei family, without having to worry about life at all.
But now that she has left the Pei family, she is like a canary that has been released from a cage. She needs to fight the wind and rain, fight against eagles and falcons, and find food on her own!
Such a cruel prospect is the reason why Pei Qingniao, a canary who has never worried about life, is so panicked!
Thinking of this, Pei Qingniao not only did not feel at peace for a moment, but became more and more panicked. His chest kept rising and falling, his eyes were full of fear, and he could not help but look at Pei Runnian begging.
"Homeowner..."
Pei Qingniao only said two words and didn't dare say anything else, for fear that she would anger Pei Runnian again. She could only look at Pei Runnian beggingly. The meaning was self-evident. She wanted Pei Runnian to give her a way out.
To be even more straightforward, he just wanted Pei Runnian to express his opinion again.
Even if Pei Qingniao left the Pei family, she still wanted Pei Runnian to continue to support her!
Pei Runnian and Pei Qingniao have slept in the same bed for decades. Even though there is no affection between the two of them, after such a long time, they are very familiar with each other's character and personality.
Just as Pei Qingniao knew Pei Runnian very well, Pei Runnian also knew Pei Qingniao very well.
To put it bluntly, as soon as Pei Qingniao sticks out his butt, Pei Runnian knows what Pei Qingniao is going to do!
As expected, Pei Qingniao had just uttered the words "head of the family" when Pei Runnian frowned. How could he not understand what Pei Qingniao meant?
Pei Runnian immediately felt a little impatient, even speechless.
He now couldn't understand why he had fallen for a good-for-nothing idiot like Pei Qingniao.
After thinking about it, I can only say that it was because of my youthful recklessness, coupled with the fact that Pei Qingniao had a really good-looking appearance.
It’s a pity that Pei Qingniao’s only outstanding feature is his appearance, the rest of his body is completely useless.
Otherwise, how could she think of escaping and still want Pei Runnian to support her with money!
Did he really think he was going on a trip while on the run and even brought her money to be reimbursed?
Pei Qingniao caused such a big disaster, but Pei Runnian did not kill her directly, which was already a special favor for the fact that they had been bed partners for decades. He even gave Pei Qingniao an idea to escape from the Pei family. As a result, Pei Qingniao actually wanted Pei Runnian to pay for her escape. What was she thinking?
If Pei Runnian really did this, how could he completely cut off ties with Pei Qingniao? Wouldn't it be in vain to let her escape?
