Chapter 556: Chapter 556: Carrying a Nezha in the Womb (3)_1

"Sit up straight, stand up tall. Once the baby is born, they’ll naturally shut up!" Pei Qin looked at her and said.

Seeing that she wasn’t worried at all—that even if she didn’t give birth prematurely and carried the baby to term, which according to the time since her wedding wouldn’t match up, was she planning to claim it was a premature birth!? Sun Xiujin hesitated before asking her, "You... You aren’t worried at all? What if you give birth in the seventh month..."

"Worried? Please." Mo Heng was such a marvel, giving birth after twelve months and it’s part of her family history. What’s there for me to worry about!

Sun Xiujin sneered inwardly, Not worried? Even with a well-crafted excuse, you can’t escape the stigma of premarital indiscretions. And what about Pei Yuan’s marriage arrangements? Aren’t you afraid those will fall through?

"The person who should be most worried right now is the one spreading this news, trying to ruin my reputation," Pei Qin chuckled.

Sun Xiujin felt a chill down her spine and asked her, "So what are you going to do about it?"

"Haven’t thought about it yet," Pei Qin replied nonchalantly.

Seeing her not elaborate, Sun Xiujin smiled, "Tell me, and maybe I can help you!"

"Could you think of a solution?" Pei Qin frowned and asked.

Sun Xiujin’s expression stiffened. "I... I don’t have any good ideas. I can only resort to arguing with those who slander you..."

"Then go home and think of a strategy for me!" Pei Qin patted her, requesting.

Sun Xiujin coming up with a plan? She wished nothing more than to see Pei Qin ruined and miserable. Help her? She’d rather help others stomp her into the ground! Leaving Liu’er Alley, Sun Xiujin curled her lip in disdain, her eyes filled with cold mockery and sarcasm. Although Old Pei’s House was foolish, this direct and widely known method still had significant destructive power. Pei Qin was bound to get caught in the crossfire of a scandalous reputation for premarital promiscuity!

She wouldn’t consult a doctor to take her pulse because she got pregnant before her marriage. She had to give birth, after full term at that, and then claim it was premature. How many people would believe her then? If she really, out of anger, endangered the pregnancy and had a premature birth, now that would be something to see!

Pei Wendong and Chang Yonglin hadn’t returned even though it was quite late.

"The meal is ready; why haven’t they come back yet?" Pei Yuan wondered.

Lu Hao said, "I’ll go look for them."

Soon after, he returned with Pei Wendong and Chang Yonglin, both of whom had marks on their faces.

Seeing this, Pei Qin instantly furrowed her brow, "Who did this?"

Chang Yonglin, seeing that she wasn’t blaming them but was angry that someone dared to hit them, quickly said, "Sister Qin! Someone was badmouthing us, so we fought back! Although they had more people, we still turned them into pig-headed faces!"

Pei Wendong was silent, his little face sullen and his eyes red and swollen.

"Come here!" Pei Qin reached out to him.

Pei Wendong looked up at her, his gaze falling on her protruding belly, and his little face tensed even more. If only he wasn’t so young and useless, his elder sister wouldn’t have been insulted and badmouthed. It used to be just people from Old Pei’s House, but now others were saying ugly things about his big sister.

Pei Qian, quick to speak, immediately told him about Mo Heng and how three generations had pregnancies lasting twelve months each, "... When it’s time, count the days, and it will be exactly ten months of pregnancy!"

Pei Wendong looked incredulously at Pei Qin and then stared at Mo Heng.

Chang Yonglin was somewhat skeptical, wondering if they had made this up just to reassure them. Everyone knew pregnancy lasts ten months, who heard of twelve?

"If you don’t believe it, just wait and see!" Pei Qin patted both of their little heads, "Now go wash your faces, apply the medicine, and eat! Otherwise, if they come to seek revenge tomorrow, how will you have the strength to deal with them?"

"We know martial arts!" Chang Yonglin huffed, not afraid at all. If it hadn’t been for them striking first, he would have tossed all those who hit them into jail.
