Chapter 439: Chapter 439 Pei Qin, You Must Abide by the Women’s Code (4)_1

"If you’ve finished hitting me, agree to get married," Mo Heng said bluntly.

Seeing his serious and persistent demeanor, Pei Qin really felt like exploding and she ground her teeth harshly, "I should have never gotten involved with you!" If she’d known he was this stubborn, Pei Qin would definitely have kicked him to the curb from the start and found someone else.

Mo Heng followed behind her, a smile playing in his eyes, "When will you talk to me?"

Pei Qin covered her ears.

"We’ve already consummated the marriage; we are husband and wife," Mo Heng stepped closer.

Pei Qin held her head, "Big brother! I only overpowered you once, and I even cured your impotence, you didn’t lose out. Can we call it even?"

"No! You’re already mine, I must marry you and take responsibility. You can’t be with other men anymore, you must observe the duties of a wife," Mo Heng knew exactly what to say to provoke her.

"I’ll be damned if I ever plan to marry in this lifetime!" Observe the duties of a wife!? She wanted to hit him until he couldn’t uphold human decency!

Mo Heng furrowed his brows, fell silent for a moment, and then looked at her, "Is it because of me!?"

"You’re not thinking straight! Don’t let me see you this month, or else I’ll really give you a beating until you can’t uphold human decency!" Pei Qin grabbed his lapel, found that the height difference was more than a bit much as she had to stand on tiptoes, and with a stifled anger, she pushed him away and left with a face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Mo Heng quietly followed behind her.

Three days later, it was the next month.

Mo Heng sent over a pair of geese.

Since geese were a symbol of loyalty, they were used for proposals in ancient times.

Pei Qin ordered the geese to be slaughtered and made into soup.

Pei Yuan felt it was a pity, but seeing Pei Qin’s extremely unpleasant expression, she dared not say anything.

Upon hearing this, the very next day, Mo Heng sent over a pot of stewed goose soup.

Pei Qin gritted her teeth, "It doesn’t taste good!"

Mo Heng then changed it to a pot of old duck soup and sent it over.

Feng Wei and Zhang Gengshan were indignant. It was clear that Pei Qin was being difficult! The young master was already lowering himself to please her, and yet she went so far as to slaughter the geese and challenge the young master time and again.

However, Mo Heng accepted it like it was the sweetest nectar and continued tirelessly.

Zhang Gengshan secretly wiped away tears and asked Feng Wei, "Is the young master... too idle? Is that why he’s so attentive?"

But the young master had not neglected any of his duties and his martial arts were recovering. Feng Wei sometimes thought that if the young master went out, countless young ladies would flock to him. Yet the young master was fixated on Pei Qin alone.

Another letter from Shen Songming arrived, saying he was on his way, and would soon arrive in Yuanyang County, bringing along snacks and mooncakes he’d gathered along his journey. The assassination attempt would be dealt with when he arrived; in the meantime, Zhao Junchao and members of the Qian family were to be detained.

After reading the letter, Pei Qin threw it aside and fell into deep thought, looking at the bamboo shoot soup that Mo Heng had sent over.

"Elder sister?" Pei Qian had been very worried these past few days that she had been seduced by Mo Heng.

"I’ll wait for him to come!" Pei Qin stood up and went into the kitchen to serve some food.

Pei Qian’s face gradually filled with smiles, the elder sister still liked Brother Songming! Once Brother Songming arrived, that blind man Mo would have to step aside!

Very soon, Shen Songming hurried over.

Seeing him travel-worn, Pei Yuan and Pei Qian hurriedly prepared hot water and food for him.

"Where’s everyone?" Shen Songming looked around and didn’t see Pei Qin at home.

"She went to the workshop. Shall I go call her?" Pei Qian said quickly.

"I’ll go myself; you don’t need to accompany me," said Shen Songming, already striding out the door.

Pei Qian and Pei Yuan exchanged puzzled looks and turned to Shen Songming’s servant Shuang Xi, asking him what was going on.

Shuang Xi’s eyes were lackluster, his expression somewhat listless; he didn’t have much energy. He was suspected by his young master again. Someone had forged his master’s handwriting and secret code to deceive Ms. Pei into leaving her home to attempt an assassination. The young master suspected that it was he who leaked the secret code, but he really hadn’t! Even though he felt Ms. Pei wasn’t worthy of his master, he still supported the master if he wanted to take her as a wife. After all, it was whom the master liked. So how could he possibly have leaked the secret codes from the master’s letter, letting someone attempt to assassinate Ms. Pei!?
