Chapter 446: Chapter 446 Don’t Let Me Wear the Green Hat (4)_1

Seeing Pei Qin and Shen Songming, Zhao Junchao and Zhang Shiqian all had their expressions change.

"What do you want to do!? We have no idea who tried to assassinate you! Let us out of here quick!" Zhang Shiqian shouted, his eyes reddened.

Pei Qin, holding a hemp bag, said nothing and went straight up to put it over his head, fastening the bag’s opening tightly before pushing him over with a kick.

Zhao Junchao widened his eyes, "Pei Qin! You want to hit someone again!?"

Pei Qin snorted angrily and went up to put a hemp bag over him as well.

After bagging all three men, Pei Qin took the human-shaped sandbags and thrashed them fiercely until almost all her strength was spent.

When the two left the cell, the old man and several prison guards went in to see three motionless hemp bags and feared they might harbour deceased souls. Upon opening them, they found the men still breathing but so badly beaten they were beyond recognition. Their faces would take at least ten days to a fortnight to heal.

Wu Dongsi asked Shen Songming how to conclude the case, "If we continue the investigation, we can only resort to torture and severe interrogation."

"Just keep them locked up for now! We’ll talk about it in a few days!" Shen Songming said cheerfully.

Wu Dongsi had no choice but to keep the three confined, letting them spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in prison.

After giving a good thrashing, Pei Qin returned home with her mood lifted for several days, and even made mooncakes herself.

However, the little radishes couldn’t stomach the chive and egg mooncakes, the beef mooncakes, the pickled vegetable mooncakes, and the preserved vegetable pork mooncakes, with the mere thought bringing them to tears.

Pei Yuan firmly disagreed with offering these mooncakes to Lady Fang’s grave as a sacrificial product.

"You really don’t appreciate it!" Pei Qin said somewhat sullenly.

Shen Songming, on the other hand, knew how to appreciate them and praised her mooncakes as delicious, "I haven’t even had savory mooncakes other than with ham before! Delicious!"

The little radishes cast sympathetic glances towards him. Brother Songming really had it tough.

The mooncakes prepared for visiting relatives were store-bought, and even those given to Sun Tiezhu and other acquaintances of Sun Lizheng’s family were conventional mooncakes. This was a unanimous decision made by Pei Yuan, Pei Qian, and Pei Wendong. They couldn’t let their elder sister’s reputation be tarnished by such oddly-filled mooncakes.

The festive atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival grew stronger, and the moon became fuller.

Pei Wendong couldn’t help but ask, "Elder sister! Are we also sending some mooncakes to Feng Wei?"

Shen Songming immediately looked at him, had this kid’s heart been swayed towards that direction after spending his days with the blind Mo Jiu!?

"They’re not lacking in mooncakes," Pei Qin said without lifting her head.

Shen Songming smiled smugly, thinking to himself that the blind Mo Heng was far too early to try to snatch his wife away.

Mo Heng packed up the mooncakes, "Send them over."

Feng Wei and Zhang Gengshan both felt annoyed in their hearts, neither wanting to deliver this gift filled with their master’s unappreciated intentions. Pei Qin never cared about their master at all! His presence wasn’t in her heart! She was solely focused on attaching herself to the wealth of the Shen family; as soon as Song Ming arrived, the master was cast aside to the clouds.

"Send them over!" Mo Heng repeated.

Hearing his voice grow colder, Zhang Gengshan pursed his lips, took the mooncakes, and obediently went off to deliver them.

When the mooncakes arrived at Pei Qin’s place, several people were cutting up mooncakes to eat and drinking osmanthus wine.

Considering the last time Pei Qin got drunk and Mo Heng took advantage, Lu Hai was busy stopping Pei Qin from drinking further.

Hearing that Mo Heng had sent Zhang Gengshan to deliver mooncakes, everyone paused and turned their gaze to Pei Qin.

Pei Qin couldn’t help but frown slightly, then nonchalantly instructed Pei Yuan to accept the mooncakes and return two pounds of them.

The mooncakes that had been packed beforehand for visiting relatives hadn’t been given away yet and were placed together with other mooncakes in the house. Pei Yuan remembered they were on the left side, so she reached to the right, picked a box, and handed it to Zhang Gengshan, thanking him with a smile.
