Chapter 456: Chapter 456: Be My Maid (3)_1

Previously, there had been letters from Shen Songming, most of which were idle chatter, some concerning business, or Shen Songming’s poor attempts at humor. Pei Qin did not conceal them, letting her party read them, but this time, she flatly refused.

"Find a way to get that letter," Mo Heng instructed Feng Wei.

Feng Wei was troubled, "Young Master! If it were only Lu Hai, I could obtain it, but both siblings are not weak, and Ms. Pei is a martial artist as well, very sharp."

Mo Heng simply ordered, how to obtain it was up to him.

Feng Wei had to give it a try.

He didn’t get the letter, with time pressing, he only opened it and glanced over, then went back and briefed Mo Heng on the gist, "...even if he doesn’t want the Shen family, he still wants to marry Ms. Pei. He doesn’t care that Ms. Pei is already yours."

Mo Heng’s complexion changed slightly, and his brows furrowed.

"Young Master?" Feng Wei looked at him questioningly. He really didn’t understand what was so good about Pei Qin, Young Master, Shen Songming, they all seemed beguiled by her. She was only a bit more formidable than the average country woman.

"It seems it can’t be guarded against," Mo Heng slightly curved his lips, his eyes dark and shining like a lion emerging from its den.

Seeing him like that, Feng Wei knew he was preparing to take the offensive. He was determined to marry Pei Qin, "What about Shen Songming..."

Mo Heng raised an eyebrow. Shen Songming had the upper hand over everyone else, but he was a step late.

Feng Wei pursed his lips and said nothing more.

Mo Heng had him summon a matchmaker to propose marriage.

The matchmaker needed only one glance at Mo Heng, and without a second word came over to propose marriage, "Oh my! Ms. Pei! I’ve been a matchmaker for over twenty years, and I’ve never seen such a handsome young man! He’s not only handsome and tall but also has an extraordinary demeanor. You both are acquainted, and the Young Master is extremely sincere, wanting to take Ms. Pei as his legal wife. This match, I think, is second to none!" Apart from his family background, which couldn’t compare to Young Master Shen’s, but looking at his manner and dress, he’s surely from a wealthy family. Pei Qin is truly fortunate, every man she knows is from a rich household or an aristocratic family. This Young Master, I myself would take him if I were thirty years younger!

Pei Qin listened with a chuckling smile, cursing Mo Heng several times in her heart. He hadn’t been honest for long before starting again. It’s been nearly a year since he left, and he still hasn’t gotten lost!

The matchmaker spoke at length, and seeing Pei Qin only chuckling without response, guessed she was still thinking of Shen Songming. She continued to praise Mo Heng; although his family background was somewhat lacking, he wouldn’t let Pei Qin be secondary. As long as she nodded in agreement, he would immediately marry her as his principal wife. If she followed Shen Songming, the hope of becoming the principal wife was next to none, and there was a chance she might not even become a proper concubine but have to be a mistress!

"Are you done?" Pei Qin, growing impatient with the matchmaker’s tiresome prattle, rolled her eyes towards the ceiling.

The matchmaker felt somewhat awkward; indeed, she didn’t know much about that Young Master, not even his financial status or family background. "But the Young Master did say that the bride price will definitely satisfy Ms. Pei, and it won’t bring dishonor to her!" she added.

"Go back and tell him if he pulls anything like this again, I’ll gouge out his eyes!" Pei Qin said with a smile.

The matchmaker was taken aback by her smile, staring at her incredulously, "Ms. Pei! The Young Master is so good..." she couldn’t believe she was rejecting the proposal; it was simply unfathomable.

Seeing her stand up, the matchmaker quickly rose, said a few words, and hurriedly took her leave to go respond to Mo Heng.

Mo Heng hadn’t counted on the matchmaker, it was merely a way to send Pei Qin a message, telling her he would not give up!

The very next day, he came calling again with a pair of geese.

One would not take no for an answer, the other persisted every day. Pei Qin grew furious, "I’m not a prize to be won, just look at this bear of a face. What do you see in me? Whatever it is, I swear I’ll change it!"
