The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 1154 - 264: Nine Heavens’ Lady_3

"It was she who seduced my son! She’s a demoness! Even the master said she’s a demoness! A disaster-bringing demoness who deserves to die!" Pei Qin had initially begged, crying and clinging, wanting to marry Dalang from her house, but later when she generously gave in, that wretched woman actually disagreed, disdainfully looking down upon their family and clinging to higher branches. She deserved to be burned alive!

"You are envious and hateful, spreading rumors and slandering my elder sister, obviously with a heart as venomous as a scorpion’s, trying to murder with a borrowed knife!" Pei Wendong looked at her twisted, cursing face, feeling the impulse to kill uncontrollably within him.

"She deserves to die! Being a demoness, she must die!" Grandma Zhang’s heart had been filled with hatred ever since Sister Peiqin and her brother began to prosper more and more, unceasing for nearly a decade!

Pei Wenli waved his hand to stop her, looking sharply at Pei Wendong with cold eyes, "Pei Wendong! Because you profit from the demoness you speak against your conscience saying she’s not a demoness!? Think for yourself, consult your own conscience. Those noodles and pancakes she could make, what about the arithmetic? What about those scribblings of letters? Ask yourself, how did she suddenly come to know all these things overnight? If it’s not demoness, then what is it?" He had only found a bit of this during these two years back home, but it was clear as day to him!

Pei Wendong thought about the numbers, those increasingly complex calculations, the scribblings of letters in the letters between his elder sister and Shen Songming. He had doubted before, but no matter what, she was their elder sister! The very elder sister who raised them!

"What, can’t answer me? Because all those things were conjured up by her out of nothing, overnight! If she’s not a demoness, how else did she come to know these things? From whom did she learn? In this world, who taught her?" Pei Wenli’s mouth curled maliciously.

"Let me tell you where those things came from," Chang Yonglin said coldly. Pei Wenli and Pei Wenchen had already lost their minds! Talk of creating and fostering evil, he should have gotten rid of them long ago!

"Make up! Let’s see what you can make up!" Pei Wenli sneered extensively.

"Since ancient times, chaos brings forth heroes! Wa Ci invaded, the Rong Clan aggressed, and Nanjiang stirred, signaling great turmoil. General Pei was enlightened in a dream, created cannons and bombs, mastered thirty-six stratagems of warfare, thus securing the realm, repelling foes, and protecting the homeland! Yet you, envious and hateful, repeatedly framed her, and now you stop at nothing to plot against the Great Chu Divine General, but remember, the divine is always watchful three feet above! The retribution destined for the Old Pei’s House is already at hand!" Chang Yonglin steered the conversation towards firearms and military tactics since he could not explain the arithmetic or the scribblings, because Sister Qin, even if resurrected by borrowing a dead body, was a celestial descendent, not a demoness! Everything she did was for the nation and its people, those plotting against her are the true monstrous demonesses!

Fang Liuming glanced at Pei Qin, feeling slightly hesitant. Elder sister... the knowledge she possessed must have come from some extraordinary encounter, but Yonglin’s intent to deify elder sister would only intensify Xiao Guangzhao’s resolve to eliminate her. Even if one day Xiao Guangjing ascends the throne, he would likely harbor no place in his heart for elder sister.

Upon hearing Chang Yonglin’s words, the crowd immediately reacted, "Anciently there was the Nine Heavens’ Lady, overseeing the military, an ordained celestial war goddess aiding the heroes in eradicating evil. Only General Pei possessed the brilliance and strategy to drive back Wa Ci, subdue the Rong Clan, expand the territories, quell violence, and protect the nation! She is indeed the Nine Heavens’ Lady descended!"

"Exactly! General Pei is the Nine Heavens’ Lady! Those strategies and cannons, all are within her capability! She originally is a war goddess! The Nine Heavens’ Lady!"

"General Pei is the Nine Heavens’ Lady! General Pei is a War Goddess! Invincible in attack, unbeatable in battle! Those who accuse General Pei of being a demoness are themselves the demonesses! Venomous hearts, mischievous plagues!"

Once such words were spoken, those who originally supported Pei Qin and harbored doubts instantly became agitated, vocally protesting, "General Pei is the Nine Heavens’ Lady! A War Goddess descended! General Pei is not a demoness!"

"You are the demonesses! You plot against General Pei, you are the real demonesses!"

"You are inhumane and wicked, deserving death! You all should be burned! Release General Pei!"

"Release our General Pei!"

Below, these commoners held Pei Qin in the highest regard; although Master Duxu is a high monk, Pei Qin possessed tangible military exploits, safeguarding and benefiting the people, who were all beneficiaries!

Liang Bing shouted loudly to quiet them down and stop, but no one heard his voice.
