Chapter 420: Chapter 420: Completely Breaking Away from Old Pei’s House (7)_1

Pei Yuan always felt that she was worrying about Shen Songming as if this trip brought with it a heavy load of trouble.

Pei Qin quickly began to lead a carefree life, setting up a stall at the market, delivering fried peanuts to the county, and wandering around the snack shops. At home, she taught a few Little Radishes, watched the construction of the Pai Building, and also waited for someone from Old Pei’s House to deliver a beating.

The news had already spread throughout the town, that Old Pei’s House had secretly betrothed Pei Qin and used her as a trade to help Pei Wenli pass the imperial exam.

Once Wu Dongsi got wind of the news, he summoned Pei Wenli to the Government Office for questioning.

The questioning was just cursory. When Pei Wenli came out of the Government Office, his complexion was so gloomy and ugly that it seemed he could wring out water.

The Zhao family was in no hurry now, simply grinding down Old Pei’s House.

Qian Wanxiu was not scared of them either. She directly played a ruthless move, suggesting that Pei Wenli admit that Zhao Yaocheng taught him how to cheat in the examination room. After the betrothal, it was Zhao Yaocheng who took the initiative, and he was an unknowing party. Even if his scholarly title was revoked, he could take the exam again. As for Zhao Yaocheng, he could look forward to spending the rest of his life in jail!

Pei Wenli’s accomplishments, with a change in County Magistrate, they could spend silver to get him back his title, but how much silver could the Zhao family spend to fish a cheating Clerk out of prison!?

This made the Zhao family urge Zhao Junchao to agree to marry Pei Wenlee. If he didn’t like her, he could well discipline her after marriage. After all, in the dark, all are the same.

Zhao Junchao grudgingly consented, carrying resentment in his heart, and left the arrangements to his family.

Soon, new news came out that it was Pei Wenlee who was betrothed to Zhao Junchao, and the wedding date discussed was for the end of the year—not Pei Qin.

After Old Pei’s House switched the marriage agreement, they intentionally or unintentionally guided public opinion, accusing the Zhao family of wanting to have both the sisters.

The Zhao family was also resentful. They didn’t want to destroy everything beyond repair, so they agreed to this marriage alliance. Now both families could live in peace, but Old Pei’s House had actually played dirty with them. Pei Wenlee hadn’t even married into the Zhao family, and they had already thought of countless ways to torment and teach her a lesson.

The issue with the marriage arrangement was resolved; next was to secure the consent letter from the Fang family.

The words laid down by Pei Qin made them come to her one by one to get beaten until she was satisfied. Pei Zongli was fearful inside, but the issue had to be resolved. He could not let Wanxiu and his two sons suffer this humiliation and grievance.

None of his family members wanted to accompany him, all fearing a beating. Pei Qin was downright merciless when striking. They were all her elders, and with anyone else, she would definitely not have dared to lift a hand. But as a maiden, regardless of whether they were elders or not, she would beat them mercilessly to their very death.

Pei Zongli, his scalp tingling with pressure, came alone to see Pei Qin regarding the matter.

Seeing that it was him, Pei Qin laughed, "Oh! Second Old Master Pei! Are you here to get beaten?"

Pei Zongli’s complexion changed slightly, and fear crept into his heart first, "Qinqin! I have always considered you my most accomplished eldest daughter. You already beat me last time, I let it go thinking you were young. Do I really mean nothing to you as your father?"

"Mean your sister’s mean!" Pei Qin landed a sharp hook punch on his face, "Damn it! I thought if you came here and took your beating like you should, I might let you off the hook. Instead, you come lecturing me about feelings! Haven’t you heard that hitting is affection, scolding is love?" She cursed and kicked him fiercely in the knee.

Pei Zongli cried out in pain as his knee went numb, and he immediately knelt on the ground.

"You’re the worst of them all! And you dare claim to be my father? Even if I had a father, you wouldn’t be worthy!" Remembering her father, Pei Qin’s fists flew even harder. Was her real father something that Pei Zongli, the scum, could compare with?

Pei Zongli could only beg for mercy.

Seeing his cowardly appearance, Pei Qin stopped the beating, "Get lost! Don’t wait for me to rest and regain my strength!"
