Chapter 567: Chapter 567: Snapping Off Your Canine Teeth (4)_1

Shen Songming hummed.

Fang Hui had been remembering all the fine gifts given by Old Scholar Fang and Lady Yu earlier, and Li Hualing was also pregnant. When her grandson was born, she would have to send equally valuable presents. Seeing those gold, silver, and jade items later, she felt even more disgruntled.

Those who attended the full moon celebration were all stirred; they hadn’t seen the gifts Shen Songming had brought. Judging by their reactions, his gifts must have been more numerous and valuable than those from Third Young Master Ji. What a collection of precious gifts indeed! Everyone said Jiujiu was blessed and was surely destined for great wealth and nobility.

The full moon celebration passed with great festivity. The Zhao Xiaochen family didn’t leave that day but stayed at Landlord Zhao’s. They were not only there to congratulate the full moon celebration but also to discuss the wedding date, prepare to request a date, and take a daughter-in-law! By August, Pei Yuan had already reached the age of marriage, and it was time to set a date. If the wedding could be before the end of the year, that would be the best!

Pei Qin disagreed with setting a date before year’s end; Pei Yuan was only fifteen, still too young, and should at least wait until next year when she turned sixteen to get married. Marrying off early and getting pregnant was truly crossing the Gate of the Ghost.

The Zhao family was eager to take a bride, and with Pei Qin’s side not yielding, both parties eventually agreed to set the wedding date for April next year.

Seeing that she was still somewhat unsatisfied with the wedding date, the Zhao family hurriedly left. Taking a bride meant bringing gifts, and they needed to go home to prepare the gifts and hurry back to finalize the wedding date so as not to allow Pei Qin to change her mind and push it to the end of next year.

Shen Songming saw Pei Qin send off the guests and gestured her over to talk.

Pei Qin had just started to walk after being bedridden for a month, feeling incredibly stifled. Now, she could almost walk with a breeze, "Speak quickly if you have something to say, let it out if you have to fart! I still have vengeance to exact today!"

Shen Songming frowned as he surveyed her, "Childbirth drains one’s vital energy most severely; you must properly convalesce for several months. You may look recovered, but you’re not fully restored yet! Don’t cause unnecessary trouble!"

Pei Qin rolled her eyes, "What’s it about now?"

"Ji Bingchu is no good bird! Ignorant and dissolute; any woman who gets too close to him might end up pregnant! Stay away from him!" Shen Songming truly disapproved of Ji Bingchu. He had once thought that kind of unrestrained and carefree attitude was all right, but damn it when that carelessness reached Pei Qin. Fight!

Pei Qin drew in a breath, "You’re pregnant!?"

Seeing her start to get worked up, Shen Songming choked and turned a shade of green, reaching out to fiercely pinch her face, "They say a woman loses her wits for three years upon getting pregnant! Have you lost your mind!?"

Pei Qin saw his hand coming and leaned back to dodge, throwing a punch gesture at him, "Right now, I only feel like stretching my limbs a bit!"

Mo Heng stood behind her with a dark face, his icy gaze fixed on Shen Songming.

Shen Songming hmphed, "You should know whether that Ji fellow is a good bird or not! Don’t let him near my unspoiled daughter!"

Mo Heng naturally knew about Ji Bingchu; ’Xiao Qinqin’ had already successfully offended him!

"There you go again, envious behind my back of my beauty, charm, unrestraint, grandeur, and likability!" Ji Bingchu jumped over the wall and came in directly.

Shen Songming narrowed his eyes slightly, "What are you doing in Yuanyang County?"

"Congratulating, of course!" Ji Bingchu smiled with a carefree and charming glint in his eyes.

"Hmph!" Shen Songming didn’t believe him for a second. Out of a hundred sentences that came out of Ji Bingchu’s mouth, ninety-nine were lies, and the remaining one was half false.

Pei Qin looked at him, currently uninterested in why he had come to Yuanyang County. She had to resolve the issues she had put aside first.

Pei Yuan, Pei Qian, Pei Wendong, along with Chang Yonglin all changed into lighter attire and came out, "Big sister!"

Pei Qin told Lu Hai to stay, "Watch my daughter." With that, she strode outside with large steps.
