Chapter 540: Chapter 540 This Lifetime is Completely Ruined (10)_1

"Really don’t want to marry?" Pei Qin asked Fang Liuming.

Fang Liuming looked up, his face resolute, "I won’t marry!" He too wanted to marry the person of his own choosing.

"Then wait for more news," Pei Qin, seeing that he truly did not want to, had already met Li Baolian, and genuinely disliked her, did not pressure him, "Your task is the spring examination."

"Understood!" Fang Liuming nodded vigorously.

Grandma Sun, Sun Tiezhu, and Lady Zou all came over, "What’s the situation? The streets are buzzing with it already, someone attacked Liuming, trying to break his arm, to stop him from taking the academic examination, breaking the arm of Sun Lizheng’s son-in-law."

Mo Heng glanced at Zhang Gengshan.

Zhang Gengshan responded, "The assailant has already been captured, and we were just about to report it to the authorities!" Then he recounted the whole incident.

"These people from Old Pei’s House are really cursed! If you want to fight, do so openly and honorably, always using these underhanded and poisonous tricks, aren’t they afraid of divine retribution?" Grandma Sun spat out a curse.

Grandma Li was annoyed and frustrated. With Grandma Sun’s arrival, she now had someone to confide in.

On the side, Lady Zou reminded Pei Qin, "These people from Old Pei’s House have completely lost their minds! You’re now pregnant, so you must be extra careful. Don’t go anywhere without company."

Pei Qin nodded, she never went anywhere alone.

The situation outside was intense, and the news quickly reached Back Mountain Village.

The people from Old Pei’s House became extremely anxious. Pei Houli hurried out with a donkey cart to inform Pei Zongli and Qian Wanxiu.

Upon hearing the assailant had been captured by Pei Qin’s people, Qian Wanxiu was initially incredulous, but as time passed without news, and considering that Fang Liuming knew martial arts and had a guard with him, was it possible...?

"If the man is taken to the County Government Office, and they confess on the spot, we are finished!" Pei Zongli’s face turned pale.

"...It won’t happen, it won’t!" Qian Wanxiu clenched her handkerchief and spoke in a deep voice, "They won’t confess, even if they are taken to the government office, I will find a way to get them out."

"When I left, they hadn’t yet taken the person to the County Government Office. If they interrogate them themselves..." Pei Houli said anxiously, knowing that if the second branch was implicated, it would affect the main branch as well.

"If Pei Qin dares to set up her own court, I have ways to make her taste the torment of prison!" Qian Wanxiu gnashed her teeth in anger.

But even by evening, no one had appeared at the County Government Office to report the case.

The next day, unable to bear it any longer, Qian Wanxiu, taking two hairpins, went to visit the aunt of Magistrate Huang to have a casual chat.

Pei Qin also obtained some information. Li Baolian’s marriage had never materialized; it was previously arranged, the man agreed, but his family did not.

"Marriage is a serious matter, dependent upon the command of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, without the man’s family’s consent, they themselves agreed to the marriage!? Such a person cannot be married into our family!" Grandma Fang listened with even more dislike.

Receiving the message, the Feng family came over to visit, including Fang Hui and Feng Shouxing, followed by Feng Bo’s wife, Li Hua Ling.

Lady Yu’s eyes lit up upon seeing her, tapping her forehead, "I am so flustered with worry, I forgot that Hua Ling is from their village!"

Li Hua Ling and Bao Xiang came from the same village.

Lady Yu quickly pulled her aside to inquire about the situation with Li Baolian.

Li Hua Ling, hearing that the Li family had proposed letting Fang Liuming marry Li Baolian, hesitated and then said, "I heard someone mention she had an affair with a rich young master from the county town, but the marriage didn’t happen, and Bao Xiang was so angry that he stopped attending county school. As for who that young master was, I’ve forgotten. But I can go back to my parents’ home and ask about it."

Observing this, Fang Hui said, "Then go back and find out! If it turns out that the Li family girl is frivolous and unchaste, we will throw it right back in their faces!"
