Chapter 433: Chapter 433: The Technology Gap is Killing Us (6)_1

Pei Qin finished washing up and came over, her face darkening at the sight of the black-bone chicken soup on the table.

Lu Hao immediately looked towards his sister, his eyes filled with inquiry.

Lu Hai still had a cold expression, showing no emotion.

"Our young master has been stewing this chicken soup all night, Ms. Pei, please enjoy it while it’s hot!" Zhang Gengshan forced a smile.

Seeing the strange looks from Pei Yuan, Pei Qian, and Lu Hao, Pei Qin grinned and said, "Thank you!"

Zhang Gengshan watched her sip a few mouthfuls before taking the clay pot back.

"I ran into them during the attack and was saved by them," Pei Qin still acknowledged Mo Heng and his servant’s act of saving people, although she was the one who had suffered.

Realization dawned on the three of them, and Pei Yuan asked, "Should we prepare some gifts to send over to them later through Wendong?"

Pei Qin thought for a moment. "Send them! You handle the preparations!" But her brow furrowed involuntarily. She wondered how she could have forgotten when she had forced herself upon that blind man; this was a feudal society where men were extremely chauvinistic, treating women as possessions. Although it was her who had slept with Mo the blind man, he wouldn’t now see her as a possession, would he?

Carrying the empty clay pot, Mo Heng asked Zhang Gengshan, "Did she drink it?"

"She did! This servant watched Ms. Pei finish a bowl before coming back. They said Ms. Pei has a good appetite, I reckon she could finish it all!" Zhang Gengshan replied with a smile.

Mo Heng nodded, then went to prepare the fire for the duck soup.

Zhang Gengshan’s face was filled with bitterness, on the verge of tears. His young master... had actually turned into this...

Tired of chicken soup after drinking two pots, Pei Qin spent the day at home flipping through books, not stepping outside.

That evening, just as the dinner had been served, Zhang Gengshan came over with another clay pot, "...a duck soup that has been stewed for a day."

Shen Songming never really cooked, merely helping with stoking the fire in the kitchen at most. So when Mo Heng suddenly started bringing over soup, it aroused suspicion among Pei Yuan and the others, Little Radishes.

Under the puzzled and somewhat strange gazes of the others, Pei Qin drank a bowl of the old duck soup. She felt she must talk to Mo Heng soon, to nip in the bud any idea he had of treating her as his property.

After dinner, Pei Qin had Pei Wendong and Chang Yonglin, the two Little Radishes, stay home to do homework while she went out to find Mo Heng.

Pei Qian followed behind, only to be stopped by Lu Hai. She exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that blind man Mo has taken a liking to our eldest sister, too? Is he going to compete with Brother Songming for Sister?"

Pei Yuan was startled. "No... no way, right? Brother Songming once said he’s not a good person..." They all knew that, Mo Jiu also came from an aristocratic family, and had sought refuge in Taiping Town after getting into serious trouble. He had also said his approach to their eldest sister was not with good intentions. Before this, he had shown no interest in getting close to their elder sister, and she had assumed Brother Songming was just worried their sister might fancy the more handsome Mo Jiu. What was the situation now?

Chang Yonglin and Pei Wendong exchanged looks, already convinced that Teacher Mo had set his sights on Sister Qin. Even though Mo Jiu taught them, and Feng Wei taught them martial arts, emotionally, they too, like Pei Yuan and Pei Qian, were more inclined towards Shen Songming.

"No way? If he doesn’t fancy our sister, then what’s he mean by sending over soup?" Pei Qian looked at Pei Yuan, then turned to Pei Wendong and Chang Yonglin.

Pei Qin was also staring at Mo Heng, "What do you mean by this?"

"Does it still hurt?" Mo Heng gazed at her softly.

Pei Qin’s face flushed, then grew dark, her teeth grinding, "Mo Jiu! I’m asking you what do you mean by this? Just because I slept with you once, you’re taking it seriously?"

Mo Heng looked at her without saying a word.

"What? A non-violent protest?" Pei Qin raised an eyebrow. She had to make it clear to him not to think that just because she slept with him once, he could treat her as a possession, trying to control her conduct and chastity.
