How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 548: How Does She Control People?

Pei Zixian saw that everyone’s expressions had turned hostile, and she immediately began to cry and apologize.

"I’m sorry, Jingyi, I... didn’t mean it earlier."

Pei Shu’er coldly said, "Oh? So you’re saying that a concubine’s daughter bullying a legitimate daughter was intentional? Tut tut tut, what a well-taught daughter by the concubine mother."

Pei Zixian’s face changed when Pei Shu’er involved her concubine mother. Gone was her earlier arrogance, and she kept apologizing.

Her demeanor became increasingly humble, and this time she was genuinely crying.

A feeling of fear.

Tang Zan’s voice was cold: "I feel that this matter is still a family affair of the Pei household. Princess Consort should not interfere too much. I’ll just mention it to Father-in-law later."

At these words, the hearts of the concubine-born sons and daughters of the Pei household leaped.

It was as if their lives were being claimed.

These people repeatedly apologized.

"Sorry, we’ve acted wrongly before, and we request your forgiveness. We won’t do it anymore."

"Yes, yes, we’ll remember our status at all times and never compete with them again."

They spoke just to dispel Tang Zan’s intention for now.

Tang Zan’s eyes were filled with coldness.

"It’s too late, what were you doing earlier?"

Then he left with the people from Prince Zhan Mansion.

The heads of the concubine-born sons and daughters of Prince Zhan Mansion hung even lower, fully aware of the situation.

This pair of husband and wife were not easy to provoke; whoever crossed them would face grave danger.

After the people from Prince Zhan Mansion left, the Pei household people pointed at Pei Zixian’s nose and cursed.

"You fool, why did you provoke her for no reason? Now look, we’re all doomed."

Some even pushed Pei Zixian, causing her to fall to the ground in panic.

At the same time, she regretted it, wondering why she had to go and bump into Pei Jingyi in the first place.

That’s right, it was because Pei Lingling said that Pei Jingyi was too much in the way, and that fabric should have been hers...

Only now did Pei Zixian’s face turn pale as she looked towards Pei Lingling.

Just looking at the Double-sided Brocade on Pei Shu’er, it was obvious that the Double-sided Brocade on Pei Jingyi couldn’t have been given by the Pei Family.

So, was it possible that she had once again been used by Pei Lingling?

Pei Lingling noticed Pei Zixian’s gaze and looked at her with a smile.

"Zixian, what’s wrong?"

Pei Zixian shook her head, merely suspicious, and didn’t dare to speak out.

It was still afternoon, not yet time for dinner, so the maid led everyone to stroll around the residence.

Lin Su leaned closer to the maid and asked softly.

"Where is the Third Prince? Where did he go?"

The maid smiled and said, "Miss Lin, our Prince is currently waiting for everyone on Lake Island."

The eyes of some noble ladies lit up, and they all heightened their spirits.

They strove to be in their best state when meeting the Third Prince.

Everyone led the noble ladies over, while Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan looked towards the maid.

"We won’t join in on the excitement, just lead us to the courtyard."

The maid looked towards Pei Shu’er.

"Princess Consort, the Third Prince specifically named that he wants to see you."

With the top-grade golden silkworm gu on Yan Hengyin, him wanting to see her must mean there’s something to report.

Pei Shu’er said, "Sure."

The two of them went towards Lake Heart Pavilion.

To reach Lake Island, they needed to take a boat.

Although Pei Shu’er knew how to swim, she instinctively resisted.

In such situations, there was bound to be someone falling into the water.

After all, palace and household intrigues were often written like that.

She, having read countless novels, naturally wanted to avoid danger as much as possible.

Sure enough, during the trip, someone let out a scream—someone had fallen into the water.

Pei Shu’er went to watch the commotion and felt someone pushing her from behind.

But she had already anticipated this and stood firm, not being pushed.

Instead, her hand grasped a woman behind her.

Pei Shu’er turned to look—it was Pei Zixian.

Pei Zixian was so frightened that her face turned pale.

Pei Shu’er grinned, wasn’t this just courting death?

Pei Zixian was terrified by Pei Shu’er’s smile and took a few steps back.

But soon, she felt her body acting against her will, jumping towards the center of the lake as if it wanted to die.

Terror filled Pei Zixian’s eyes, and her fear intensified when she hit the water.

Although she could swim, at that moment, her body lacked the instinct to save herself, stiffly sinking to the bottom of the lake.

This was truly like being possessed.

Was it Pei Shu’er?

But could Pei Shu’er have such abilities?

Could she control people?

By what means?

She didn’t even notice anything.

Some guards hurriedly jumped into the water to save her; after all, a life couldn’t be lost during the Third Prince’s birthday feast.

How unlucky.

Soon, Pei Lingling was rescued, with her rescuer being Young Master Lin of the Lin Family.

Meanwhile, Pei Zixian had fainted, and only after a guard gave her CPR did she finally wake up.

When Pei Zixian saw the guard’s face, she screamed and slapped him immediately.

The guard saved her but instead of gratitude, he was slapped. The crowd’s gaze towards Pei Zixian changed.

Pei Zixian was pointed at, the Pei family’s education was criticized, and she was accused of biting the hand that fed her.

The concubine-born sons and daughters of the Pei Family were collectively ashamed.

Everyone silently cursed Pei Zixian in their hearts.

Pei Zixian’s reputation had collapsed, tainting her chastity as well, making it hard for her to find a good family.

And it implicated the women of the Pei household too.

Tears immediately flowed from her eyes, full of sorrow.

But no one cared; they only felt she deserved it.

On reaching Lake Island, everyone went ashore.

Pei Zixian didn’t go up but sat in a concealed spot, hugging her knees, then went back to the Pei Mansion the way she came.

She felt she never wanted to go out again, it was too humiliating!

Today, she had lost all the face she had for a year.

The concubine-born daughters of the Pei Family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Pei Lingling, when she was rescued, Young Master Lin immediately covered her with his dry cloak.

Thus, she didn’t leave, being taken care of the whole time.

Because of Young Master Lin’s attentive care, she drew another wave of attention.

Upon arriving on Lake Island, Young Master Lin and Pei Lingling were taken by a maid to change clothes.

The eyes of the other women exchanged glances; who didn’t know that Young Master Lin favored Pei Lingling the most, and he didn’t even have a concubine or a chamber maid?

Would they make it official today?

Lin Su was fuming inside, cursing Lin Wei as a fool!

She had gone through much trouble to provoke a noble lady to push Pei Lingling into the water to humiliate her.

But her brother, in such cold weather, jumped into the water to save her!

Did someone as scheming as Pei Lingli deserve it?

Wrapped in the cloak, Pei Lingling had an unpleasant expression, pondering who wanted to harm her.

But thinking about it only revealed too many people wanted her harmed.

The noble ladies in the Capital all envied her.

After all, she had monopolized the title of the Capital’s first talented woman for several years.
