Chapter 362: Chapter 362 Pei Qin, I Will Marry You (4)_1
Pei Yuan thought for a moment, frowning as she nodded, "Then we’ll just say we’re going out to look at cabbages. Eldest sister surely won’t rest easy, so we’ll have Lu Hao follow us. We don’t want Lu Hao, let’s have Lu Hai tag along, she doesn’t talk much." Lu Hao sometimes talked too much.
"That’s settled! Tomorrow, we’ll tell Eldest Sister!" Pei Qian also thought it was a good idea, as Lu Hai couldn’t string three words together, while Lu Hao was too chatty in comparison.
Outside, Lu Hao sneezed twice in a row, wondering if it was because the weather had turned chilly, or if he hadn’t slept well and was catching a cold.
Having agreed on their plan, the next day, they reported to Pei Qin that they wanted to go out.
Pei Qin indeed asked Lu Hao to help with driving the carriage, but they declined Lu Hao’s help and asked for Lu Hai instead.
The three of them drove out and went straight to a temple in the west city of Yuanyang County. Once there, they shouted for the most powerful monk to help match their birth charts.
Seeing that the two of them were fairly young girls accompanied by Lu Hai, who looked like an adult but acted like an attendant, the old monk in the temple agreed to help with a smile.
Pei Qian hurriedly handed over the paper with the birth charts written on it and waited on the side.
They ended up waiting for a full two hours as noon approached. The sisters had paid their respects to all the Buddhas and deities in every hall and were growing impatient when finally, the result came out: extremely auspicious.
Upon hearing this, Pei Qian’s face broke into a broad smile, indicating a perfect match. She didn’t even notice the old monk’s look of confusion and suspicion and, taking the results, she dragged Pei Yuan back home. They even made it a point to tell Lu Hai on the way back not to tell Pei Qin and to keep quiet once they got home.
Lu Hai kept a stone-faced expression the whole time, not saying a word.
The sisters rarely saw her speak and assumed she was unable to.
However, as soon as they got home, Lu Hai went straight to Pei Qin and told her, "... they didn’t go to look at cabbages, they went to the temple and matched your birth chart with Young Master Shen’s. The result was, extremely auspicious."
Pei Qin’s eyes widened in shock. "Have those two Little Radishes gone mad!? They secretly matched my birth chart with Shen Songming’s!?"
Lu Hai continued to look at her without any expression.
Pei Qin’s face changed several times.
After Lu Hai finished speaking, she walked out.
When she encountered Lu Hao, he asked what was going on, and Lu Hai simply told him the result.
Lu Hao nearly jumped up, but after thinking for a bit, he said, "I reckon Young Master Shen would be delighted!"
Lu Hai didn’t respond, just gave a silent acknowledgment.
Meanwhile, Pei Qin summoned Pei Yuan and Pei Qian to her room for questioning, "Out with it, where did you two go today?"
Confronted with her penetrating gaze, the sisters exchanged a glance before Pei Qian spoke, "We went out to find cabbages, of course!"
"And after finding cabbages, you didn’t do anything else at the temple?" Pei Qin raised an eyebrow.
Pei Qian stomped her foot, "Lu Hai actually told you everything!?"
Pei Qin watched them with a stern look.
Pei Yuan, somewhat sheepishly, confessed everything, "...Brother Songming is also very good! He’s the son of the Magistrate, but he has a tough fate that overpowers his wives. However, the birth charts we matched, they don’t show any overbearing influence on Eldest Sister! And he’s more reliable than other people!"
Pei Qian raised her voice too, "He has a tough fate that overpowers his wives and can’t find a bride! Being matched with Eldest Sister is also lucky for his family, they wouldn’t look down on ours! Our family was rewarded for growing sweet potatoes, so we are not unworthy in any respect! Anyway, he overpowers his wives!"
Pei Qin watched the two, her mouth twitching again and again.
Outside, Shen Songming, holding a jar of sauce pig’s feet, also had his mouth twitching. So all their constant badmouthing was for this. As if she couldn’t match him! They were really overestimating him! He wouldn’t dare dream of courting the female overlords of Rongdu!
Lu Hai, who had overheard the conversation among the sisters, even called out, "Why doesn’t Young Master Shen come inside?"
The three people inside the room were all startled.
