Chapter 551: Chapter 551 Disgraced (3)_1

"I never bothered to calculate, I would give birth whenever it was time!" Pei Qin had never calculated the due date. Ever since she became pregnant with Little Radish, her periods had stopped. She felt comfortable in the early stages, but as her belly grew, it became increasingly cumbersome.

"Not even concerned about Huaiyu going into labor, such a big deal?" Sun Xiujin smiled, sneering inwardly. She hasn’t calculated, my foot! She had it all planned out early on and now that she’s unsure, she doesn’t dare to reveal it, right?

"Someone has been keeping track of the dates for me!" Pei Qin sighed. A certain sultry man, in order to satisfy his lust and desires, had long calculated her cycle, so why should she bother with that!

Sun Xiujin’s smiling face stiffened, and she said with envy, "Outside, everyone talks about how you married a pretty boy, but they don’t know how happy you truly are. If they knew, they would probably die of jealousy!"

Pei Qin chuckled. If someone else had a pretty boy like that, she certainly wouldn’t envy them. With his size and stamina, she was carrying Little Radish and didn’t dare let him go too hard on her. But after giving birth, who knows how she’d meet her end under him with consecutive bouts of dissatisfaction!

Seeing her triumphant smile, Sun Xiujin could only sit for a little while before she got up and excused herself.

Li Baolian and Zhang Shiqian’s engagement was set quickly, and a wedding date was fixed. Both were not young anymore, and they settled on early April. It was right before the busy farming season.

Pei Qin was busy forging a profound revolutionary friendship with locust flowers, creating stir-fries, pastries like locust flower buns, and cold dishes. Every meal at home had to include one such dish.

When Li Baolian married into the Zhang family, they came over to extend their greetings, hoping to smooth over past issues and establish a good relationship with Sister Peiqin and her brother. Pei Qin flatly refused them, "I certainly don’t possess the virtue of repaying evil with kindness!"

The Zhang family had nothing more to say and left dejectedly, hoping that they could mend the relationship through Li Baolian in the future. It wasn’t Zhang Shiqian’s idea to plot those things; he was dragged into it. The Zhang family hoped that by marrying into the Li family, they could turn their enmity with Sister Peiqin and her brother into friendship.

Li Baolian came to the marriage full of rage and resentment. How could she possibly consider the Zhang family’s interests and help them? Fang Liuming didn’t want to marry her, claiming he had someone else in his heart. He had been waiting for Pei Qin all this time, always visiting their house. Who knows, maybe Pei Qin was his beloved!

Her absence was perfect; Pei Qin wasn’t keen on dealing with her anyway.

However, Zhang Shiqian insisted on bringing Li Baolian over for a visit. With Pei Qin’s pregnancy reaching seven months soon and having highly skilled guards around her, people followed her every time she went out. It was not easy for him to get close, his only option was to use Li Baolian to approach Pei Qin.

Lu Hao opened the door to see them both, gifts in hand, then closed it again and went back to report, "Zhang Shiqian and Li Baolian are here?"

Pei Yuan was embroidering her wedding dress while Pei Qian was also working on needlecraft at home, making bellybands and tiny pants for the unborn Little Radish. The child would be born in the hottest time of the year, so they needed to embroider a few bellybands to wear in rotation.

Upon hearing Zhang Shiqian and Li Baolian had arrived, both frowned. Pei Qian spoke up decisively, "We won’t see them! A biting dog never changes its nature! They’re coming around now, but who’s to say they won’t turn around and bite us again? Tell them to scram!"

If it hadn’t been for Zhang Shiqian and Zhao Junchao maliciously drugging her eldest sister with an aphrodisiac, she wouldn’t have ended up consummating her relationship with Mo Heng. Such people, using aphrodisiacs, clearly intended to ruin her sister! It was already lenient not to have killed him in prison!

Hearing they weren’t welcome, Li Baolian’s face turned dark and ugly. She married Zhang Shiqian and even though there had been previous grudges, Zhang Shiqian took the initiative to make peace. Yet they still held themselves so high, looking down on even her now.

Zhang Shiqian looked somewhat embarrassed. Turning to Lu Hao, he pleaded, "I’ve come to apologize! Please could you relay this properly? I was foolish before, got dragged into doing bad things, now I’ve come to my senses! Since getting out of prison, I’ve been wanting to apologize, but I was too ashamed to come over. Now that Sister Lian married me, she and Pei Qin are practically sisters. I can’t allow my cowardice in failing to apologize to prevent them from being sisters."
