The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family
Chapter 1088 - 248: Tooth Pulling Technique

Chapter 1088: Chapter 248: Tooth Pulling Technique

General Moheng’s face immediately condensed with a layer of murderous intent, taking a step forward, he shielded Pei Qin, his gaze coldly fixed on Zheng Yuehan, with malice flashing in his eyes, "Take her away!"

The expressions of the onlookers changed, some looked at Zheng Yuehan with the belief that she had gone mad, daring to openly insult a General’s Wife in public—what audacity!

Others looked at Pei Qin, reasoning that since General Mo already had two daughters, it was unlikely that Pei Qin was incapable of bearing children. Zheng Yuehan, living in the General Mansion, may have stumbled upon some secrets, leading her to such foolish boldness, lashing out in vexation and frustrated desire!

Pei Qin let out a sigh.

Pei Yuan, Pei Wendong, and Chang Yonglin all seethed with anger, their worry and heartache growing upon hearing her sigh.

General Moheng tightly grasped her hand, he knew that although she said nothing, she understood better than anyone. Even if she wasn’t told, she could sense it. He was already searching for a solution with all his might but would never allow anyone to hurt her heart!

Yet Pei Qin felt it was actually quite good; she had already given birth to a second child, and not being able to have more meant she no longer had to think about contraception! The idea of an only daughter was not unheard of in ancient times, and she certainly didn’t cling to the idea of must having a son. She only felt... a bit of regret.

Seeing him holding her hand so tightly, as if he would never let go even in the next life, Pei Qin lifted the corners of her mouth, "Wait!"

Everyone’s gaze turned to her. Did Zheng Yuehan’s open naming and shaming truly hit a nerve, driving her to rage for not having birthed a son?

Jiang Dahai also halted his men in confusion. Although he was not one to gossip, in Capital Jingcheng he had to recognize and understand the key figures. One was Tiance General Pei Hansan—General Pei—and the other was General Moheng. General Pei’s private life was a mystery; even as he rose to the rank of Deputy Commander, Jiang had yet to see him in person. All he knew was that General Pei was greatly admired by women and might marry a Commandery Princess or even bring home a Princess.

General Moheng, on the other hand, was known to him, having taken Madam Yuanyang, a woman of remarkable ability, as a wife. They had two daughters, and with Madam Yuanyang’s health being poor, they had recently brought the daughters to the capital. To say that she couldn’t bear children—that closely guarded secret—was unknown. He halted his actions to see whether Pei Qin was looking to vent or otherwise.

Pei Qin returned the grip on General Moheng’s hand and stepped forward, "Which doctor told you that I can’t bear children?"

Only Doctor Qi and the Imperial Physicians who initially treated Pei Qin knew of her condition; no other doctors had been sent to check her pulse at home. Who else would know she couldn’t bear children? Second Madam Zheng was only surmising based on seeing Pei Qin’s severe illness and from Xie Ze’s words about the continuous use of charcoal for warmth; concluding her health was poor, barely clinging to life, let alone able to bear more children.

It was pure conjecture! Zheng Yuehan naturally believed her mother’s words, thinking that Pei Qin wouldn’t live much longer, making her even more incapable of bearing children.

Zheng Yuehan couldn’t answer and, out of spiteful rage, said, "You did this to harm me, treated me as a spy, aiming to push me to death’s door—it’s because you’re jealous of me, seeking revenge! I’m not a spy at all, yet you treat me this way!"

Pei Qin’s hands itched, clenching and unclenching into fists as she smiled at Zheng Yuehan, "Since you say I’m harming you, not hitting or touching you, but still getting the blame—how wronged I am!"

"What are you going to do? You dare to hit someone!?" Second Madam Zheng’s voice shrieked.

"Although violence can’t solve problems," Pei Qin said, "it can indeed deal with the person creating them!" She swung her foot up, landing a kick squarely on Zheng Yuehan’s face.

The two soldiers who were holding her had already stepped away, sensing trouble.

Zheng Yuehan screamed miserably, tumbling to the ground as she spat out a mouthful of blood, her big tooth following suit.

Old Lady Zheng, both frightened and furious, pointed at Pei Qin, trembling with rage, "You... You..."

"What ’you’? To insult an Imperial Wife, and you find yourselves aggrieved?" Pei Qin asked coldly, raising an eyebrow.

Old Lady Zheng turned pale, and her head buzzed even louder.

Pei Qin turned to Second Madam Zheng and Second Old Master Zheng, flexing her hands, "I’ve just arrived in Capital Jingcheng, you might not be familiar with me. I have a special skill, called the Tooth Pulling Technique. Painless tooth extraction! Listening to the two of you talk, it seems your teeth are already rotten to the core. How about I pull a couple out for treatment?"

"No!" Second Madam Zheng was the first to protest.

"A woman’s ’no’ often means ’yes’," Pei Qin said as she stepped forward and punched Second Madam Zheng hard in the face.

Second Madam Zheng screamed but hadn’t hit the ground when Pei Qin cried out, taking in a sharp breath of pain, "My hand hurts so much! Your damn thick skin hurts me to death!"
