Chapter 1091: Chapter 248: Tooth Pulling Technique_4

Mo Heng spoke seriously, "My wife has been feeling unwell, and when she was severely ill earlier, they had their malicious schemes. If I hadn’t been vigilantly protecting her, I fear I would have become a widower by now."

Jiang Dahai stared wide-eyed and blinked, "General Mo... loves his wife deeply!" Feeling unwell? Severely ill? He thought Pei Qin didn’t look unwell in the slightest, her Tooth Pulling Technique was precise every time!

Mo Heng slightly lifted his lips.

After he left, Jiang Dahai came to his senses, the Zheng family truly harbored malevolent intentions! It doesn’t matter if Pei Qin was just ill; even if she had really died, it still wouldn’t have concerned Zheng Yuehan!

Back at home sharing this as a joke with his wife, Grandma Jiang wasn’t surprised, "Such matters aren’t rare, there’s also the elder sister who fell ill, and the younger sister who took advantage of nursing her to get involved with her brother-in-law. As soon as one side breathes their last, the other is carried through the door!"

"No wonder Lady Mo was so angered that she took action," Jiang Dahai grinned as he nodded.

Grandma Jiang chuckled lightly, "The matters of the inner quarters are endlessly filthy and secretive! But General Mo truly is devoted, I heard there isn’t even a single concubine in his household! Just not sure if it’s true that Lady Mo can’t bear children!"

People were also spreading and guessing about this issue, if Pei Qin truly was barren, Zheng Yuehan wasn’t to Mo Heng’s liking, but there were others marked by stunning beauty, outstanding in both family background and looks.

Fang Hui finally found something to talk about, claiming she was Pei Qin’s maternal aunt, disgusted by their poor relatives who dragged them down, disowning them and not letting them enter their home, only allowing them to set up a small stall. Pei Qin was truly ill, "...she lay in bed for months barely able to go out, constantly heating with charcoal, her life was saved by spending a great deal of money, and she can still bear children!?"

Their family sold noodle dishes and many people recognized them, knowing they were cousins to General Mo’s wife, when they heard her talk, many couldn’t help but believe. Coming from her close aunt, could it be false?

Jun Suxue, carrying a vegetable basket, stood not far away watching Fang Hui talk endlessly about Pei Qin, her gaze icy.

Fang Hui noticed her hostile look, "What are you glaring at! Do I have a grudge with you!?"

"Yes, a grudge!" Jun Suxue walked straight over.

Fang Hui didn’t even recognize her and scoffed, "Are you sick!? I don’t even know you, how can we have a grudge!? Did I kill your mother and rob your father!?"

Bystanders who were listening to the gossip chimed in, "Exactly! Who are you? Coming here to pick a fight!?"

The few who hadn’t spoken sized up Jun Suxue, sensing she carried an aura unlike common folk, they also asked, "Whose servant are you?"

"Tiance General Mansion!" Jun Suxue said coldly, looking at Fang Hui.

Fang Hui’s gaze sharpened, "What Tiance General Mansion, coming out to boast and bluff people! Furthermore, we don’t even know Tiance General Mansion, let alone have any grievances!"

As the bystanders heard ’Tiance General Mansion’, their view towards Fang Hui shifted. Does this noodle-selling family have a feud with General Pei!?

Jun Suxue gave a cold smile, picking up her vegetable basket and leaving.

Behind her, two strong maids immediately followed with their items.

To onlookers, it was clear these were servants of a rich household out for shopping; those with whom she purchased items, like the meat vendor, asked, "Whose people are they?" Not even the meat vendor knew, "She buys little meat, mostly game; you should ask there!"

The game vendor was reluctant to speak, simply saying not to provoke these people, that he only reserved his best and freshest game for her.

The attitude of the game vendor made everyone curious, were they really from Tiance General Mansion!?

Meanwhile, Fang Hui’s noodle stall gradually circulated rumors of having offended Tiance General Mansion, and those fond of their noodles slowly stopped visiting. Who was General Pei? He was their Great Chu’s legendary deity general who saved the entire land of Great Chu and all its people! Without General Pei, they wouldn’t even talk of going home; they might have become spectral slaves under the knives of Waci People! Offending anyone was acceptable, but not Tiance General Mansion!

Fang Hui was utterly baffled; when had their family offended Tiance General Mansion?

Feng Bo watched as business dwindled, his face contorted with hate, "It must be a servant of Tiance General Mansion who once ate our noodle dish, pretending to use the mansion’s name to oppress us!" He even suspected that Pei Qin had bribed a servant from Tiance General Mansion to purposefully use the name to harm their business.

They hadn’t sought trouble; Pei Qin had likely forgotten them entirely. Bribing someone to ruin their business was definitely something Pei Qian would do in Capital Jingcheng.
