Chapter 512: Chapter 512: Quickly Falling Out and Getting Divorced (7)_1

Zhang Gengshan also let out a sigh of relief. Shen Songming had finally left; if he stayed any longer, dangling around the young master and the young mistress every day, indicating a closeness with the young mistress and sidelining the young master, the latter would have been infuriated.

Mo Heng held Pei Qin, pressing her onto the bed. She was slender, her entire body could be covered by his, at his mercy. But now, consumed by desire, he could only taste but not indulge.

Pei Qin had been kissed under his weight for quite a while. Seeing his frustrated desire, she struggled to push him away, "You’re feeling all better now, huh? Able to jump around again, huh? Tomorrow, you’re going to work for me!"

Mo Heng, with his robe hanging open and a look of infatuation on his handsome face, gently caressed her still flat belly, "You’re carrying a child. Rest these days! I’ll work tomorrow!"

Mismatched as an ox’s head to a horse’s mouth, Pei Qin felt she was out of options with him.

The next day, Mo Heng changed into lighter clothes and started doing chores.

It was only in the summer that Pei Qin managed to prepare soy sauce from the spring’s yellow beans. It wasn’t the best time to extract the sauce, so besides selling spicy cabbage and sweet potatoes, there wasn’t much work to do.

"There isn’t much to do at home, so if you don’t want to rest, go read your books!" Pei Qin pulled him back.

"I want... to help you as much as I can," Mo Heng murmured.

"The best help you can give me is to take care of yourself and not overdo it!" Pei Qin pulled him back to the room to read.

Mo Heng followed her into the study.

The study housed more than half of Mo Heng’s belongings, and Pei Qin’s books and writing materials had also been moved there, yet to be organized.

Upon entering the study and seeing the ink, brush, paper, and inkstone packed away on the desk, Pei Qin’s expression subtly changed. She looked down at Mo Heng’s right hand still wrapped in bandages, "Take your medicine properly, and with rehabilitation, you’ll recover before long!"

"Yes!" Mo Heng smiled and nodded, "I’ll read."

Pei Qin moved a stack of books onto the large bed by the window while she sat at the desk to do the bookkeeping.

Each kept busy with their tasks.

Pei Yuan came by to deliver some pastries.

Mo Heng flipped through a few books before selecting others from the bookshelf.

Pei Qin glanced at him, then lowered her head to continue the accounting. When it was time to eat lunch in the front yard, she asked Liuming to buy a few travelogue story collections while he was out and bring them back for Mo Heng to read.

Liuming knew about the cut tendons in Mo Heng’s right hand and was unsure if it could heal well, making it difficult for Mo Heng to write again. He immediately agreed and borrowed a few books from his classmates, "For cousin-in-law to read for fun!"

Mo Heng flipped through them, finding a book discussing the existence of ghosts and gods, he looked at him, "Thank you."

"No need to be polite, cousin-in-law! You helped me with writing essays, and I’m just finding you some miscellaneous books to read." Besides, he had never given up on marrying his cousin, which was how he narrowly escaped misfortune!

Mo Heng began reading, continuing even until bedtime when he moved the lamp to the bedside to read.

Pei Qin glanced over, "What’s so interesting about this! It’s not even as good as travelogues! At least those talk about local customs, famous foods, and they’re all true stories!"

"I’m wondering if what’s written here could be true!" Mo Heng said, looking up at her as he finally caught her attention.

"Ghosts and gods, are any of those real? Have you ever seen a ghost or a god?" Pei Qin took away his book, "Go to sleep early..." She glanced at the page and saw it was about ’Borrow the Dead to Resurrect the Soul,’ her expression flickering momentarily.

Mo Heng stared at her intently, "I have seen."

Pei Qin looked at him with an odd expression. Had she blown her cover? Or was it Shen Songming, the fool, who exposed her!? Time-traveling from a world thousands of years in the future wasn’t something anyone could imagine unless they were a charlatan!
