Chapter 500: Chapter 500 Early Birth of a Precious Child (4)_1

"I should say it’s because of my mother’s death. I will never return to the Mo family," Mo Heng’s voice carried a chilling undertone.

Old Scholar Fang furrowed his brows, looking towards Pei Qin. Could it be that his mother was harmed by someone from the Mo family, and that’s why he decided to break off ties?

Pei Qin indicated she was aware, having heard a thing or two about it.

Old Scholar Fang pursed his lips, worried that Mo Heng might seek revenge and drag Sister Peiqin and her brother into it.

"Grandpa!" Pei Qin called out to him, signaling him to get the matter settled first. After all, she had already agreed to marry Mo Heng, and they could deal with the demons and monsters that may come later!

Old Scholar Fang sighed inwardly and then asked, "And what about the assassination attempt?" Did the Qian family still have the financial resources and audacity to hire assassins again?

"It must be because I was in someone’s way," Pei Qin answered vaguely, not yet clear on the details herself. In any case, it was important to secure the marriage first.

Old Scholar Fang had his suspicions, wondering whether Shen Songming’s interest in taking Pei Qin as his lawful wife had anything to do with the Shen family’s situation, once again raising doubts. However, now that Pei Qin was not marrying Shen Songming, but Mo Heng instead, such troubles should no longer arise.

"A life-saving grace... culminating in a union, truly makes a fine tale," Old Scholar Fang nodded, playing host and establishing the marriage agreement.

Pei Qin gave Mo Heng a look, signaling him to go back and lie down, while she would return home with Old Scholar Fang and the others.

Mo Heng came out to send them off.

Grandma Fang glanced at his bandaged hand and chuckled, "You’re still injured, so go back and rest. No need to see us out!"

Really stopping in his tracks, Mo Heng stretched out his hand to support himself on the doorframe.

Pei Qin looked back from afar and quietly said to Zhang Gengshan, who had come out to see off the guests, "Tell your young master that I’ll come back to see him."

Zhang Gengshan wanted to remind her that it was inappropriate to see each other before the wedding, but seeing her concern for Mo Heng and her lack of awareness of such customs, he kept quiet. After sending them off, he turned to Mo Heng and said, "Young Master! The young madam said she would come back to see you."

He was quick-witted, switching his form of address as soon as the marriage agreement was made.

Mo Heng’s mouth curved into a smile.

Seeing him so elated, Zhang Gengshan and Feng Wei exchanged glances and decided to say nothing further, going off to make preparations instead.

Back in Liu’er Alley, Old Scholar Fang asked Pei Qin once again about Mo Heng’s situation. Hearing it matched his own account, he nodded. "The timeframe is too urgent. If it were towards the year’s end, there would be more leeway."

"The timing isn’t tight! The selected auspicious day is perfect! Once the year turns, my second sister will have her hairpinning ceremony and will also need to prepare for her marriage. We can’t have the two events too close together!" Pei Qian added quickly. Any later and the eldest sister’s pregnancy would start to show.

Pei Qin also nodded in agreement.

Seeing that they had made up their minds, Old Scholar Fang felt it best not to interfere too much and simply concurred, "None of you kids have handled such matters before, so I’ll stay for the next two days and take charge of the wedding preparations."

With him staying to help, having an elder around would certainly make things much easier.

Grandma Fang agreed to stay as well, leaving the household in the care of Fang Li and Lady Yu.

After seeing off Fang Li and Lady Yu, Old Scholar Fang and Pei Wendong went to inform the Feng family of the good news, also inviting all the well-acquainted neighbors.

Once Pei Qin had some free time, she came over to see Mo Heng.

Mo Heng was lying on the kang bed with his eyes closed, asleep.

After asking Feng Wei about his condition and learning that he had fallen asleep again after not being able to hold up in the morning, and that he had taken his medicine and sat for a while, she got up to head home.

After she left, Mo Heng on the kang opened his eyes and sat up.

Feng Wei came over with a large cushion to prop him up, "Young Master?" He didn’t understand why the young master, who was so eager for her visit, pretended to be asleep when she came.
