Chapter 571: Chapter 571: Snapping Off Your Canine Teeth (8)_1

"If he resists again," Pei Qin scoffed, "don’t bother fighting him, just shove it up his nostrils!"

Ji Bingchu’s complexion changed, "You’re ruthless!"

Many people outside also said in private that Pei Qin was too ruthless. The Old Pei’s House deserved a beating, and so did Zhang Shiqian, but it should have been enough just to beat them up. After she had a daughter, her life didn’t match what she had previously claimed, but it had been proven, and no one would talk anymore. Yet she had used pliers to break off the front teeth of Lady Chen and Lady Zhu. How could they manage without teeth in the future?

Mo Heng examined the slip of paper over and over, and after dinner, he left the house to go directly to Sun Lizheng’s home.

Seeing him come over so suddenly, Sun Lizheng thought about how Mo Heng had followed Pei Qin to attack the Old Pei’s House and Zhang Shiqian’s house earlier that day, wondering if he had come to give a heads-up about something.

Sun Xiujin also came over to listen, wondering if he was here because Pei Qin had caused trouble by being too harsh when she beat people and if he was seeking her family’s intervention.

Instead, Mo Heng presented the slip of paper directly to Sun Lizheng, "The handwriting on this has been slightly altered, but it should be very familiar to you, shouldn’t it?"

Sun Lizheng took the piece of paper, soaked in a patch of pork oil, and after reading its contents, frowned.

However, Sun Xiujin’s face changed drastically, and she became noticeably uneasy. This slip of paper... How could this paper still exist? Hadn’t the Old Pei’s House ripped it up or burned it?

Mo Heng glanced at her expression and remarked, "If Sun Lizheng can’t recognize it, perhaps your daughter can help identify it."

Sun Lizheng looked up at Sun Xiujin, who was sitting not too far away, and felt a sinking feeling in his heart. Could the content on this slip of paper... have been written by Xiujin? No! Impossible! Xiujin has always been on good terms with Pei Qin. Even if they weren’t that close, she wouldn’t possibly write such a paper!

His gaze returned to Sun Xiujin, and as his eyes landed on the signature of the slip of paper, he said, "Zhang Shiqian really harbors deep hatred towards Pei Qin, constantly seeking revenge. You all..."

"Do you truly believe this was written by Zhang Shiqian?" Mo Heng asked, taking out several sheets of paper. "These are Zhang Shiqian’s actual handwriting. The imitation is overly dissimilar; instead, his own writing betrays him in every aspect."

Sun Lizheng’s heart went cold, and a pale tinge emerged on his face.

Li Baoxiang, frowning, said, "Are you suspecting that someone from the Sun family wrote this!?" As he spoke, he glanced at Sun Xiujin, whose complexion had suddenly changed, his confusion evident.

"You should recognize the handwriting on this slip of paper," said Mo Heng, handing the paper over for him to see.

Sun Xiujin might have some learning, but Li Baoxiang was a scholar who had studied hard for his official examinations; his recognition of handwriting was far more profound than hers. Upon closer inspection of the slip of paper, he felt it was familiar, looked at Sun Xiujin with suspicion, yet found it hard to believe.

Mo Heng took back the slip of paper, "I hope you can provide me with a satisfactory explanation soon." After finishing, he didn’t linger and left promptly.

Once Mo Heng had gone, Sun Lizheng turned to look at Sun Xiujin, whose face had turned pale, "What is the matter with that slip of paper?"

"You really wrote it!?" Li Baoxiang looked at her in disbelief. While others couldn’t wait to be on good terms with Pei Qin, she had actually...

"You actually suspect me too!?" Sun Xiujin struggled desperately, refusing to admit it was her doing. "That paper was clearly written by Zhang Shiqian!"

"Xiujin!" Sun Lizheng barked angrily, "Tell me the truth, did you write it?"

"No!" Sun Xiujin replied defiantly.

Miao’s retorted to Sun Lizheng, "Why do you insist on placing the blame on your own daughter, even when she said she didn’t do it!?"

But the handwriting was clearly hers... Sun Lizheng felt a mix of heartache and anger, "Weren’t you on good terms with Pei Qin? You used to frequently bring her gifts and spend time with them. Our family has no grudge against them! Now Mo Heng has come with such a slip of paper, and everyone has recognized it!"
