Chapter 477: Chapter 477: The Child’s Mother Gets Married (4)_1

The Sun Quanliang family was in the middle of their work, cutting red potato vines with their son and daughter to feed the pigs back home. When they saw her walking through the potato field, they greeted her from a distance.

When Pei Qin truly became angry, she recognized no one. Glancing over, with an ugly expression, she crossed through the red potato field toward Taiping Mountain.

Sun Quanliang’s family was still puzzled, "What’s wrong with the head of the household? Her face looks quite unpleasant."

Sun Erya then asked, "The head of the household’s younger sister is already engaged, when will she get married?"

"Childish nonsense, don’t you ask too many questions!" scolded Erya’s mother from the Sun Quanliang family, suppressing her own curiosity, as neither the head of the household nor the grandparents allowed such prying.

Seeing her mother’s reprimand, Sun Erya quickly clamped her mouth shut and looked up as Pei Qin walked further away.

The Sun Quanliang family looked on from a distance, unable to suppress a sigh. They thought she was destined for a better life, that her suffering would turn to sweetness, that fortune would finally turn in her favor. Yet, her life remained embittered. Her younger sister was engaged, but her own matter was still hanging in the air. They wondered what was happening with Young Master Shen, why there was no news from him.

Sun Xiujin returned to her parental home with a baby bump proudly displayed, and upon seeing her, the villagers praised her good fortune. She had married well, and within the change of the year, had conceived; they congratulated her on the prospect of bearing a healthy baby boy.

Li Baoxiang’s family also hoped for a boy from Sun Xiujin’s pregnancy and treated her much better than before. Upon mentioning her wish to visit her parental home, Li Baoxiang immediately escorted her over.

Shortly after arriving, Sun Xiujin sought out Pei Qin. The men who plotted against her, Zhao Junchao and Zhang Shiqian, not only failed but also ended up with the reputation of being thieves who were jailed. Knowing Pei Qin’s formidable nature, she had stayed home for a few months nurturing her pregnancy, and now, seizing the opportunity to stay at her parental home, she wanted to probe the situation further.

She had always aspired to marry Young Master Shen, but after all this time waiting, she had become an old maid, soon to be considered "passed her prime". Without any sign of Young Master Shen coming to take her as a wife, it seemed there was no hope left. What kind of family was the Shen family, that they would take a country village girl like her into their home? Young Master Shen probably had seen his share of beauties, and once the novelty of her freshness wore off, he cast her aside!

Thinking about how the daughter of the Official’s family had planted double-season rice and become the County Magistrate, while all Pei Qin got was the Pai Building, a mere honorific, Sun Xiujin couldn’t help but find it laughable. Surely she must be furious, right? Even as an imperial merchant, it was nothing but a fancy title for someone who supplied the palace with a bit of soy sauce and red potatoes.

Pei Qian and Pei Yuan were at home sewing, and when they saw her arrive with her protruding belly, Pei Qian’s gaze immediately turned hostile.

Sun Tingyu, following behind her aunt, exclaimed, "You’re sewing!" Observing the silk and satin fabrics they were using, she pursed her lips, filled with envy.

Sun Xiujin praised the sisters’ needlework and asked about Pei Qin, "I haven’t seen her, is she in the workshop again?"

Pei Yuan answered, inviting her to sit down.

Sun Xiujin sat down and discussed fabric colors and embroidery patterns with the two, waiting for Pei Qin to return.

Pei Qin had stayed on Taiping Mountain until the sun had set and descended from the mountain only as twilight approached, making her way home in the dimming light.

Unable to wait any longer, Sun Xiujin had already returned to her parental home for dinner.

But another person had been waiting for her return.

When Pei Qin saw the dark, specter-like figure of Mo Heng, she passed by him without a hint of emotion.

Mo Heng followed her; his lips and tongue and even that place were aching, but the joy in his heart could not be contained. At the same time, he was gripped by an anxious fear, unsure if she would harden her heart and not want their child.

Upon entering the house, Pei Qin slammed the door shut with a loud bang, locking him outside.

Mo Heng stood outside the door, staring like a statue yearning for its wife.

Having returned home and skipped dinner, Pei Qin pulled a long face and instructed her two "Little Radishes," Pei Wendong and Chang Yonglin, "You don’t need to go there to study anymore, they’re going to be kicked out!"
