Chapter 480: Chapter 480: The Child’s Mother Gets Married (7)_1

"So, you all need to help out appropriately," Mo Heng said, looking at the group.

Seeing him act like he was about to become their brother-in-law, Pei Yuan frowned, "If our eldest sister is determined not to marry, her aversion is so strong that she will never agree, no matter what!"

"She will!" The people Mo Heng set his sights on couldn’t escape.

Pei Yuan didn’t have a response to that. If her elder sister didn’t marry him, what would become of the baby in her belly!?

Pei Qin really wanted to gulp down a bowl of medicine and end it, but she feared it might be a counterfeit product that would ruin her health. And besides... she was somewhat... reluctant to do so.

After all, it was an innocent life, just a piece of flesh for now, no, not even flesh yet, but in a few months, it would grow into a "Little Radish." Pei Qin was so troubled that she was about to burst into flames.

She threw a stone to the ground and, clenching her teeth, said, "Give birth! It’s just a child! With genes like that, the child won’t turn out too bad! And it’s not like we can’t afford to raise one!"

Lu Hai listened in silence, "Are you planning not to go out for ten months and then deliver the baby yourself?"

"Won’t I just go and give birth outside the city!?" Pei Qin’s decision led to a flood of plans coming to mind. It was winter now, so wearing thick cotton clothes would conceal her condition. By next spring, when it was time to change outfits and her pregnancy would become more apparent, she could say she was going to Capital Jingcheng to do business. Then, she could find a suitable place to rest for a few months to have the baby and return home. She could claim the child was found or given by someone! Damn it! Wasn’t it just being forced upon her!? How could she get pregnant after she had drunk the "Contraceptive Soup"!?

Seeing that she wasn’t considering marriage at all, Lu Hai stared at her, "Do you really plan never to marry?" But if the child looked a lot like her, anyone with eyes could tell, right?

Pei Qin laughed. She had never entertained that idea.

Lu Hai didn’t know how to persuade her and simply stopped talking. She didn’t want to marry, probably because Mo Heng wouldn’t agree. His methods were too ruthless, and his actions too merciless. He just didn’t know how Young Master Shen would react upon hearing this.

Shen Songming was on his way.

When the Shen family heard he wanted to travel far, they immediately tried to stop him, fearing that once he left, he might not plan to return for years.

Shen Songming only mentioned he was going on a business trip and didn’t want to fall out with the Shen family, turning relatives into strangers who never see each other. Madam Shen felt cold and disappointed, telling everyone not to stop him and to let him go.

With that, nobody tried to force him to stay any longer, and Shen Songming couldn’t wait to head south. He had already found out about Ms. Liangsan, who had fallen and hit her head the year before last. After a bout of illness, she woke up changed. Although not by much, she suddenly became proficient in many areas, turned formidable, and made many connections. She was also becoming more favored at home.

If she wasn’t a time traveler like him, then her soul must have changed. If she wasn’t one of their own, she was very likely reborn.

He and Pei Qin had time-traveled a thousand years back, so it was entirely possible that Ms. Liangsan had been reborn. She had taken the initiative, so she knew about double-cropping rice. Was she from his and Pei Qin’s past life? Or just Pei Qin’s? Knowing Pei Qin’s capabilities, she both grew double-cropping rice and sent people to kill Pei Qin!

Although it might be the Shen family’s doing, Pei Qin hadn’t exposed much of herself yet, and her current identity was low-profile, making that possibility not very high.

Only Liang San, who had taken the initiative, knew Pei Qin’s power, so she hired murderers to kill Pei Qin.

Clear on this point, Shen Songming immediately brought people south. He needed to arrange a few more guards for Pei Qin, at least ensuring she was not in danger. Then they could discuss the matter of her marrying him. With him by her side, he would never allow anyone to harm her!

Pei Qin had already encountered danger.

After several "Little Radishes" learned of her pregnancy, Pei Qin had a serious talk with them and then went to find Mo Heng, making clear to him her decision. She would have the child, but she would not marry—and that included not marrying him.

Mo Heng silently followed her out and watched her go home.

But in the blink of an eye, several black-clad assassins burst forth, attacking Pei Qin with lethal intent.

Mo Heng’s eyes narrowed fiercely as he rushed forward, "Pei Qin!"

Lu Hai unsheathed his sword to fight.

Feng Wei quickly arrived as well.

This time there were as many attackers as before, but their martial arts skills were clearly superior. Lu Hai soon found it challenging with several people fighting in tandem.

Even Mo Heng had to catch the long sword Feng Wei threw at him, and while protecting Pei Qin, he struggled to fend off the attacks.

Seeing that he knew martial arts and was quite skilled, Pei Qin was taken aback for a moment.

Mo Heng’s martial arts skills had not fully recovered. He could manage for a while, but over time, and with their sheer numbers and relentless attacks, protecting Pei Qin became increasingly difficult.

Feng Wei suddenly delivered a powerful strike that repelled the assailants around him and moved to help Mo Heng, urging him to leave first.

Mo Heng’s arm tightly wrapped around Pei Qin’s waist, "Let’s go!"

Pei Qin, with a stern face, followed him.

They hadn’t gone far when they encountered another ambush.

Mo Heng protected Pei Qin tightly, unwilling to let her go first, he could only shield her within his embrace.

Pei Qin was shaken.

In a moment of distraction, "Be careful!" Mo Heng, without time to counter, used his hand to block an attack aimed at her.

Seeing the long sword piercing his right hand, Pei Qin’s eyes widened, "Mo Jiu!?"

The long sword in Mo Heng’s hand dropped, and refusing to relax, he kicked up the fallen sword, grasped it in his left hand, and cut off the sword embedded in his palm.

He then suffered another sword wound to his back in an instant.
