Chapter 1112: Chapter 253: Facilitating Marriage

"What’s wrong?" Pei Qin saw that he looked off and couldn’t help but frown.

Chang Yonglin thought about it and then said, "Ms. Dan came over ever since you left and has been staying here. We’ve directed hot spring water into the house, and she went to bathe in it when she found out. That’s when she encountered a snake... I heard her screaming, thought something was wrong, and rushed in out of panic. But I didn’t see anything clearly!" he hastened to emphasize after speaking.

"You didn’t see anything clearly because your eyesight is bad, or you’re just saying you saw her naked?!" Pei Qin scolded him as if disappointed in steel that hadn’t become iron.

Chang Yonglin’s mouth twitched slightly, his ears turning red, "I proposed to her, said I’d take responsibility for her, and she..."

"She didn’t agree?" Pei Qin could tell from Dan Mingzhu’s expression when she saw him; she just snorted.

Chang Yonglin’s smile was forced, "Sister Qin! I know I might not be worthy of the daughter of the Leader of the Transport Gang, so I told her, let’s wait until after my civil service examination before proposing."

Pei Qin nodded, "That’s a fair explanation."

"She didn’t say she agreed, but she also didn’t say she disagreed," Chang Yonglin murmured, his voice dull. He knew she liked Shen Songming, but now it was impossible for the two of them, otherwise, Ji Bingchu wouldn’t let Dan Mingzhu off either. And he...he wasn’t too far off, right?!

"Have you pursued her?" Pei Qin asked him.

Chang Yonglin nodded, "I did! Because of this, she moved out. So, I just... I made some food at home and took it to her, brought her some small toys to play with. I didn’t dare to give her anything else. The jade bracelet grandma handed down to me, I tried to give it to her twice but couldn’t."

"Now that there’s this connection between you two, you should work hard these days. After the examination, I’ll help you propose!" Pei Qin patted him on the back.

Chang Yonglin immediately grabbed her arm and smiled beamingly, "Sister Qin! I’m counting on you to help me get a wife!"

Pei Qin scoffed at him, "After all the cajoling, tell me how did the snake get into the hot spring room?"

Chang Yonglin’s eyes flickered, "It’s Jiujiu’s snake. It got into the hot spring room."

"Holy shit! Jiujiu’s keeping snakes at home?! Who got them for her?!" Pei Qin jumped up all of a sudden.

Chang Yonglin sniffed, "I heard she took in two younger brothers from outside, and then... Ms. Dan is quite brave, but she’s naturally afraid of snakes. Now when she sees Jiujiu, she steers clear."

Pei Qin’s face twitched, "Did Jiujiu put the snake there on purpose?"

Chang Yonglin paused for a moment, "Jiujiu’s snake, I don’t know how it got loose. Right before Ms. Dan went to bathe in the hot springs... Xie Yi was the one bathing."

Jiujiu was always smart and sensible at home, and while sometimes unreliable, Dan Mingzhu had always been close to Shen Songming and Ji Bingchu, hoping to become her godmother and treating her extraordinarily well. Knowing Jiujiu was afraid of snakes, she wouldn’t have put a snake there to scare her.

Pei Qin was silent for a while, "I’m aware of the situation now."

Chang Yonglin didn’t mention it again and started talking to her about Dan Mingzhu drawing fortune-telling sticks, "...It was the best possible fortune. Doesn’t that refer to me?! I’m her destined match!"

Pei Qin reached out and patted his head, "Brother! With that shameless demeanor of yours, go for it! You’re sure to succeed!"

Chang Yonglin chuckled, "I learned this thick-skinned attitude from sister-in-law!"

"What did you say?" Pei Qin’s expression turned stern.

Chang Yonglin hurriedly backed off, "Sister Qin, you should rest early, I’m going back to sleep!"

"Go back and study!" Pei Qin shouted from behind.

"Okay! Studying!" Chang Yonglin shouted back, already gone like a shadow.

Xie Yi had a restless night, worrying about what Chang Yonglin had told Pei Qin. The snake belonged to Jiujiu, but Dan Mingzhu had said on the spot that it wasn’t Jiujiu’s. It was Xie Yi who had bathed there before, was she being suspected?! She tossed and turned, only falling asleep halfway through the night. Xie Yi didn’t feel any regret; Chang Yonglin was good-looking too, and it looked like he liked Dan Mingzhu. This outcome was better than Pei Wendong! She had had a physical relationship with Pei Wendong, so he wouldn’t and couldn’t abandon her!

Pei Qin had just returned home, and Pei Yuan hadn’t told her much about what was happening at home, just settled her down to rest.

Jiujiu and Xixi jumped onto their parents’ bed together, diving into the covers early, "Mom! We’ve warmed up the blankets for you!" completely ignoring Mo Heng.

Pei Qin also washed up and snuggled in, "Good! Mom will tell you a story!"

"I don’t want to hear a story! I want to hear about Mom fighting the Rong Clan!" Jiujiu hugged her.

"Me too!" Xixi hugged her from the other side.

"Alright! Mom will tell you!" Pei Qin held her two precious daughters and began to brag about how she scolded that bastard Ji Le, how he was so scared he didn’t dare leave the city. Then, how she and Mo Heng fought their way to the Rong Clan’s lair, Ji Le getting so frightened he peed his pants and hurriedly surrendered.
