Chapter 560: Chapter 560: Carrying a Nezha in the Womb (7)_1

Grandma Sun, upon hearing the news, breathed a sigh of relief, "If Xiao Pei had been harmed by that thing he was carrying, it would have meant the loss of two lives!" Then she went outside and told everyone she met that Zhang Shiqian harmed others only to harm himself, and that punishment was soon to come for Old Pei’s House as well.

After learning what had happened, Sun Xiujin gritted her teeth in anger within the confines of her home. She bought a bag of eggs and some red sugar and millet to visit Li Baolian. Looking at the guilt-ridden and dispirited Zhang Shiqian, she wished she could curse him to death. Idiot! A complete idiot! Having possession of that thing, he should have somehow stuffed it into that wench Pei Qin! And yet he carried it on his person, causing Li Baolian to miscarry.

Once the matter turned out like this, the Li family hurried over, infuriated beyond words. It had been over a hundred days since Bao Xiang’s arm was injured, and they had been thinking of removing the plaster cast. If there were no problems with the arm, they would ask Mo Heng to resume teaching Bao Xiang. At this critical juncture, Zhang Shiqian, as the Li family’s son-in-law, was found carrying that harmful substance, precisely at a time when there might be people wanting to harm the child in Pei Qin’s womb.

No matter the explanation, the villagers still suspected Zhang Shiqian wanted revenge on Pei Qin. Even the rumors that had spread about Pei Qin being pregnant before marriage were pinned on him.

Li Baolian, crying and shouting, wanted to return to her maternal home. If it weren’t for the fact that she was in her postpartum confinement and couldn’t sit on another family’s stools or beds, Grandma Li would have really wanted to take her away.

Bao Xiang was also extremely angry.

The time had come to remove his plaster cast, and Old Scholar Fang, Fang Li, and Lady Yu all came over.

Grandma Li and Old Man Li were even more concerned about their son’s arm, waiting anxiously at the Sun Lizheng family’s home.

With her belly showing, Pei Qin came over accompanied by Mo Heng, followed by Lu Hai, Feng Wei, and the ever-vigilant Pei Qian.

Seeing her arrive with Mo Heng and Pei Qian, even just for a short distance to their home, accompanied by two martially adept, stone-faced guards, Sun Lizheng felt a tremor of unease. Could it be that even his family was under suspicion and had to be guarded against?

"Having worn this plaster cast for so many days, the bones should be completely healed by now!" Pei Qin said and asked Feng Wei to assist the doctor with removing the plaster cast.

The Li grandmothers all watched intently, and Bao Xiang was immensely anxious, hoping that his arm would be healed.

Once the plaster cast was removed, Bao Xiang moved his arm, trying to bend it despite the stiffness, and exclaimed joyfully, "It seems I can move it!"

"Gently massage it every day, or soak it in hot salt water, and do a fair amount of overall arm movements for rehabilitation training. Soon, there will be nothing wrong with your arm," Pei Qin said, then turned to look at Old Scholar Fang to see if he had anything else to say before leaving.

Old Scholar Fang asked the doctor in detail and confirmed that as long as Bao Xiang trained properly and refrained from heavy labor, there would be no issues. After laying down a pile of eggs, duck eggs, and meat supplements, he sat for a while and then got up to leave.

Sun Lizheng invited them to stay for a meal.

Old Scholar Fang smiled and declined, "If we’re going to eat, it should be on a day when we have the chance, at the Li family’s home!"

With those words being said, Grandma Li and the others found it inappropriate to insist on their staying.

However, the fact that Bao Xiang’s arm could still heal was indeed a cause for celebration.

Upon returning to Liu’er Alley, Old Scholar Fang inquired about Mo Heng’s hand, "Can it also be nearly healed?"

Pei Qin glanced at the obvious scar on Mo Heng’s right palm and pursed her lips. Before the new year, she had gone to Fu City to deliver soy sauce, and Mo Heng had accompanied her to consult with famous doctors, who weren’t as good as the ones from the Wang family. But all they could do was help Mo Heng to the extent of holding a bowl or picking up an item; his hand couldn’t hold a pen to write or wield a sword for martial arts practice.

"It’s almost as good as it’s going to get. As long as I don’t exert too much force while holding a pen, it’s just like normal," Mo Heng said indifferently.

"Fortunately, you are gifted, able to use your left hand with ease," Old Scholar Fang nodded in acknowledgment. Seeing Pei Qin’s expression, he didn’t dwell on the topic and instead brought up the matter of Zhang Shiqian, "I heard he was carrying something meant to harm you and your daughter, but he ended up harming his own child instead!?"
