Chapter 578: Chapter 578: The Powerful Bullying People (6)_1

Lady Yu feared that Pei Qin appeared carefree on the surface but harbored suppressed anger within. She dreaded that if she and Rong Niang had done something like this behind someone’s back, they surely wouldn’t have been able to bear it.

Hearing her advice, Pei Qin hooked the corner of her mouth in a cold laugh, "She’s just a woman who comes and goes often!"

Privately, Lady Yu also spoke to Pei Yuan, asking her to persuade Pei Qin more, "... She’s carrying a child now, and it’s not good for her to get upset."

Pei Yuan smiled, "Auntie doesn’t need to worry, Older Sister is just angry that someone schemed against her and Jiujiu. Regarding Sun Xiujin... Older Sister still quite likes to visit others. When she has free time, she goes to Grandma Sun’s house for a visit, plays with Xingwang, sometimes goes to Sun Quanliang’s family too, to see them making pickled vegetables, clothes, and shoes, but she rarely ever visits Sun Xiujin’s family!"

Lady Yu looked at her with furrowed brows.

"Older Sister is straightforward, appearing easy to befriend, but in reality, it’s very difficult to become her friend! Sun Xiujin and her ilk were just showing good will from the start; they are not friends of mutual interests and genuine connection with Older Sister!" Pei Yuan, sensitive and perceptive, has more or less grasped the nuances of her Older Sister’s temperament over the years.

"That’s good! People like that are unworthy of friendship anyway!" Lady Yu nodded.

Grandma Fang also decreed that the marriage arrangement for Fang Liuming will definitely not consider the Lizheng family, even if Sun Tingyu is outstanding, she’s not to be considered!

In fact, after acknowledging Li Baoxiang, Old Scholar Fang no longer planned to seek marriage ties with the Lizheng family, preferring to branch out. He was already looking for suitable marriage prospects for the eldest grandson, and once things were almost settled, they would finalize it this year. Once he married, Fang Fang would also be free to marry off.

Speaking of Fang Liuming’s marriage matter, Grandma Fang asked Pei Qin to also keep an eye out, "You have good judgment, and Dalang has always respected you as his sister. If he talks to you about anything, you should also help keep an eye out for him!"

"Of course! Even though I’m not a matchmaker, I can still watch people from the sidelines!" Pei Qin replied with a laugh. Fang Liuming was also seventeen now. At this age in this period, it was indeed time to discuss marriage. Actually, it could wait another year, until after next year’s imperial examinations, depending on how things go.

Old Scholar Fang had already notified Landlord Zhao and his acquaintances, asking them to keep an eye out for him.

Lady Yu now had no worries about her son’s marriage prospects, but her daughter’s situation was causing her sleepless nights. At this point, with no other choice, she turned to Pei Qin for help, hoping she could keep a lookout and perhaps find a connection for her daughter.

Pei Qin thought for a moment and agreed to help watch when she encountered a potential match.

With both Fang Liuming and Fang Fang’s marriage matters at hand, the entire Fang family was mobilized, feeling incredibly busy and anxious.

The Li family had also hinted at them, implying that they should put some effort into thinking about Li Baoxiang’s marriage prospects.

After the Fang family left, Mo Heng refused to give Li Baoxiang any academic guidance, instructing him only to read a few books he had mentioned, to study them himself, or to seek teaching from a teacher at the school.

They all dismissed Sun Xiujin and disgraced her, and Mo Heng’s attitude towards them also made Grandma Li very dissatisfied and uneasy. If he was unwilling to teach his son, what would they do if his son failed the exams again next year!?

Li Baoxiang was also uneasy; the books recommended by Mo Heng couldn’t calm his nerves for proper study. After dismissing Sun Xiujin, his daughter, now without her mother, cried daily, causing him much frustration and irritation.

A few days later, Sun Xiujin could no longer bear it, becoming increasingly regretful and afraid, crying incessantly at home.

Shen Songming was also driven away by Pei Qin’s anger; she had actually revealed their origin’s secret to that damned blind man—could he be trusted? Was he trustworthy? Hadn’t he already started to associate with people like Ji Bingchu? What troubles could arise in the future? She hadn’t thought it through at all! It infuriated her to no end! The dividend Silver she was originally given had also been taken back by him. She wouldn’t give it to her! With Silver in hand, it all would have been utilized by that damned blind Mo Heng, invested in his bank for turnover, benefiting him and she would not let it benefit that damned blind man!
