Chapter 554: Chapter 554: Carrying a Nezha in the Womb (1)_1

"The rumors have spread everywhere by now, with all sorts of nasty things being said. Those malicious people are saying things that are extremely distasteful!" Grandma Sun was so angry she wished she could argue with someone, urging Pei Qin to think of a way to stop those rumors immediately.

"Where did the rumors begin?" Pei Qin asked with a dark expression.

Mo Heng looked toward Feng Wei, signaling him to investigate.

Grandma Sun speculated, "It must be a few vicious people from Old Pei’s House. They’re envious because you married well, and since they couldn’t succeed during Liuming’s time, now that the Fang family has produced three scholars, they’ve resorted to sneakily smearing you to ruin your reputation."

"But Old Pei’s House wouldn’t make up the story of my getting pregnant before marriage without reason," Pei Qin frowned.

Seeing the expressions on Pei Qin and Mo Heng’s faces, Grandma Sun tried to calm her down, "Xiao Pei, don’t get mad! They’re spreading the rumor around, saying that if you give birth seven months into the marriage, it means you were pregnant beforehand. You’re pregnant now, getting angry might even lead to premature birth!"

Pei Qin nodded, telling her there was no need to argue with them, "It’s not easy for them to have such a juicy topic to gossip about. The more you argue with them, the more they’ll enjoy it and even argue back."

"I just can’t stand it! The villagers seem nice enough usually, but you see their true colors when something happens. You and your siblings have gotten wealthy in a short period, and they’re envious. The rumor that you got pregnant before marriage is really taking off!" Grandma Sun was infuriated as she relayed this, "I can’t argue with them, I just watch! When there’s work to be done and money to be made, let’s see how those people have the nerve to show their faces!"

Just after Grandma Sun left, Pei Yuan and Pei Qian ran back, "Elder Sister! Everyone outside is saying..."

"I already know!" Pei Qin cut them off.

"So, what do we do now? Those old hags surnamed Kong are saying that if a baby is born seven months into the marriage, it must have been conceived beforehand!" Pei Qian’s face turned red with anger.

Pei Qin clenched her fists, "I did indeed get pregnant before marriage, so what is there to be afraid of admitting it?" Who had stirred up this mess, thinking they could tarnish her reputation and get away with it easily?

Seeing her setjawed face and sharp gaze, Pei Yuan knew that she had truly been angered by the matter.

"If you admit it, your entire reputation will be destroyed! Have you lost your desire to live!?" Pei Qian’s face was contorted in distress.

Pei Qin was never afraid of her own reputation being damaged, yet it would mean the reputation of all the Little Radishes was ruined as well.

Mo Heng grabbed her shoulders, getting her to sit down, "Let me handle this." It was his despicable act to bind her to marriage with the pregnancy; he had orchestrated this situation, and he would be the one to resolve it all.

"You just sit tight! I’ll deal with that bunch of lowlifes in the shadows this time!" She wanted to deal with them herself and smooth things over!

"Leave it to me to settle everything!" Mo Heng’s grip tightened.

Pei Qin cursed, "Damn! You think you’re capable, huh? If it weren’t for you, I’d just be carrying a ’ball’ around every day!"

Mo Heng’s heart clenched at her words, but upon looking closely, he could see she wasn’t truly blaming him. He let go of her shoulder and tightly grasped her hand, "Are you scared?"

"Scared my ass!" What Pei Qin feared the least was people causing trouble; from the time she got pregnant until now, she hadn’t even had a chance to exert herself physically, and those people seemed to have forgotten what her fists and kicks felt like!

Mo Heng drew her into his embrace, holding her tightly.

"Hey! Have you lost your mind?" Pei Qin pushed him away; what was going through his head? Didn’t he see that Pei Yuan and Pei Qian were still in the room, and Lu Hai and others were outside?

Pei Yuan’s face turned red, and she quickly turned away, not looking.

Pei Qian was filled with anger and didn’t know what to scold him for. If it weren’t for him, her elder sister wouldn’t have been pregnant before marriage and wouldn’t now be slandered by those vile people.

"I was born at twelve months."
