Chapter 508: Chapter 508: Quick Quarrel and Divorce (3)_1

Zhang Gengshan, after they left, coughed twice, "Third Miss... is frank and direct."

Pei Qin ahead turned back, frowned and glared at Pei Qian, signaling that even if she disliked them, she should stop her habit of making cutting remarks.

Pei Qian, unconcerned, curled her lip. If she didn’t speak up, their family’s matter would be spread throughout the town by everyone thinking it was the wedding that caused the premature birth. They’d blame them, making them carry the blame and take advantage of them behind their backs.

The Li family’s members had also come over, their expressions not looking particularly good.

Miao’s heart ached for her daughter and she was angry at the Li family’s complaints, "No one wished for Xiujin to give birth prematurely. It’s just that Pei Qin is getting married, and she’s been close with her sisters for many years. It was only natural for her to go over to congratulate. Who would have thought that it wouldn’t be long after her return that it would happen..."

Upon hearing this, Pei Qin’s smile remained untouched, but her gaze grew distant. She came forward, offered a few apologetic words, inquired about Sun Xiujin and the baby’s condition, left the gifts she brought, and went inside to have a look.

Seeing that Sun Xiujin and the baby were both sleeping, she said her hellos and then took her leave, "There’s still quite a bit at home that wasn’t tidied up yesterday." She declined Grandma Li’s invitation to stay longer.

"This girl, now that she’s married, this dressing up... she really looks great!" Grandma Li couldn’t help but sing her praises.

Miao pursed her lips and forced a smile, "She married into an even better household! Not only is he handsome, but his knowledge is also formidable." A good girl naturally matches with a good family!

Grandma Li seized the chance to inquire about Mo Heng.

Miao knew only a little; before Pei Qin married Mo Heng, she had never seen what Mo Heng looked like. She only met him for the first time yesterday. However, he was excessively handsome, ridiculously good-looking! A woman’s beauty is trouble; a man being too handsome... that’s not necessarily a good thing, is it?! Besides, Pei Qin had been set on marrying Young Master Shen Songming; now she suddenly refused his distinguished status and good person, insisting on marrying Mo Heng, most likely because of his handsome appearance.

Such thoughts were not uncommon since Mo Heng’s beauty was so otherworldly compared to these ordinary folks that it felt like he was from a different world. Pei Qin’s unwillingness to marry Young Master Shen must have been due to being dazzled by his looks.

"He’s also the fallen son hailing from an aristocratic family, with such looks, he might well be a fox demon in disguise!" Lady Zhu ground her teeth with resentment.

Yesterday, they deliberately took a detour through the town, right when they saw Mo Heng receiving Pei Qin’s bridal sedan chair and parading around Taiping Town.

"One covets beauty, the other lusts after Silver Coin; isn’t it a perfect match!?" Lady Chen scoffed with disdain. Such a handsome person, how could he possibly fancy Pei Qin, that lowly wench. Once he deceives her and gets her Silver, he’ll kick her to the curb, and let’s see that cheap girl cry herself to death!

"Hurry up and call off my engagement, I don’t want to marry Zhao Junchao! Why should that lowly, cheap person get to marry someone good and I have to marry Zhao Junchao! I won’t marry him!" Pei Wenlee bit her teeth in fury, her eyes red as she shouted her protest.

"Aren’t we trying to find a way out!?" Lady Chen responded, somewhat impatiently appeasing her. Indeed, these past days had been exhausting and irritating dealing with her.

Pei Wenlee, seeing her mother’s perfunctory attitude, laid down an ultimatum, "If you really insist on making me marry him, I’ll just die!" Pei Qin, that little cheap thing, got a good match; she insisted on marrying someone even better!

Lady Chen, noting her contorted, sullen face, quickly tried to comfort her, "Don’t be foolish! Mother will definitely call off this engagement!"

In any case, she would rather die than marry the self-righteous Zhao Junchao! Pei Wenlee gnashed her teeth with hatred. That lowly Pei Qin was surely going to marry a pretty boy and would suffer for it later!

After the initial shock of Mo Heng’s stunning looks, almost everyone questioned how such a handsome man could take an interest in Pei Qin. Was it skin-to-skin contact that happened when she saved his life, or what?
