Chapter 577: Chapter 577: The Powerful Bullying People (5)_1

"To please us, to give us an explanation, how can they not act quickly!?" Pei Qian’s words had barely fallen when people from the Li family arrived.

The cries of a small child carried over from afar.

Upon hearing the child’s cries, Jiujiu, who was crying just as loudly, twisted her head in the arms of her nurse, her black grape-like eyes sparkling and clear, scanning around as if searching for the source of the sound.

The nurse took her back to the courtyard to soothe her.

The Li party arrived, with Grandma Li’s eyes red and filled with unceasing anger, Old Man Li sighing continuously, and Bao Xiang looking dejected and dreadful. Their daughter, not yet a year old, kept crying in his arms.

Pei Qin frowned at the crying and angry words, then offered them tea and dispensed the order to see the guests out, sending them off.

"Divorcing his wife was their own willing decision, yet they speak as if it was for our sake, they really have no shame! It’s always others who are at fault, they are the only good ones! Truly disgusting!" Pei Qian muttered disdainfully.

"It looks like we’ve got to be on guard against them spreading rumors first. Otherwise, in the end, it might turn out that rumors circulate about us being too heartless, forcing them to divorce," Pei Yuan sighed.

"Then there’s no need to save face for them. Let’s spread the news of what they’ve done themselves so that people can see their true colors!" Pei Qian said uncompromisingly, not concerned about their reputation in the slightest. After all, they had unabashedly slandered their elder sister with rumors flying high, without the slightest regard.

Once the matter was in Pei Qian’s hands, she handled it with swift efficiency. The Sun family originally planned to remedy Sun Xiujin’s reputation and keep things under wraps. However, when the news of the Li family’s divorce got out, it shocked many, who wondered what could have prompted Bao Xiang to divorce Sun Xiujin?

With a single circuit made by Pei Qian, quickly everyone knew that the main schemer behind the harm done to Pei Qin was Sun Xiujin. Because Song Ming did not fancy her and her seduction failed, she bore a grudge against Pei Qin for not helping her move up the social ladder. After Song Ming proposed to Pei Qin, she hated Pei Qin even more and wanted her to be ruined and die a miserable death.

Such news, once it spread, was hard to believe for many, who held a skeptical attitude. In Taiping Town, Pei Qin, besides the Sun Tiezhu family, the Sun Quanliang family where the men worked as laborers, and the Sun Dashun family whose daughters-in-law took contracts for the noodle shop, had the best relationship with the Sun Lizheng family. Sun Xiujin and Sun Tingyu, the aunt and nephew, were often seen going to Liu’er Alley to play and bringing vegetables. How could she possibly scheme against Pei Qin!?

Soon, people’s attention turned to Song Ming because Sun Xiujin wanted to cling to this high branch and could not, which led to her resentment towards Pei Qin. Was it truly the case?

Shuang Xi, this time becoming more astute, subtly disclosed Sun Xiujin’s scheming ways, indirectly confirming the story of Sun Xiujin’s failed seduction of Song Ming.

The villagers all shook their heads in dismay. Sun Xiujin ordinarily appeared gentle, virtuous, educated, and reasonable. Yet, she turned out to be vain and harbored such a sinister heart. Full of hate, she wanted to harm someone, yet she often went to that person with a smiling face. Thinking about such a person was truly frightening!

However, she was already married, and to a good match at that. Why harbor resentment!? Although she was Lizheng’s daughter, Song Ming fancied Pei Qin. It was just that Pei Qin, despite being an orphan and having a temper, was capable and could earn money, not to mention she was more striking than her. If Song Ming fancied Pei Qin and overlooked her, that was Song Ming’s issue, not something to be resented against Pei Qin. It truly made no sense!

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Sun family heard a bunch of gossip when she went out and came back holding her daughter, Sun Tingyu, in tears. Those people spoke with disdain, and now the rumors had spread far and wide, fearing that her daughter’s prospects for marriage had been damaged too!

Bao Xiang went to the Fang family to explain the divorce.

Old Scholar Fang, Grandma Fang, and Lady Yu hastened to arrive.
