Chapter 700: Chapter 700: Charming Liniang (2)_1

"Mother!" Jiujiu was still showing off to her, waiting to be praised.

"Mm, good! Jiujiu is really amazing!" Pei Qin took off the little straw hat from her, took the wet cloth handed by Xue Dong, and wiped her little face and neck, telling her to drink a cup of water before playing again.

After drinking a cup of water, Jiujiu, holding the longhorn beetle by its antenna, ran out to play again.

Pei Qin looked down at her belly, she really didn’t want to be pregnant for another year.

Pei Qian brought over some washed grapes and called Jiujiu to eat them, "Why is there still no news from Old Pei’s House? Don’t they know the Kong’s tricked Pei Wenbo into going to Capital Jingcheng with her?"

Pei Qin caught a grape and tossed it into her mouth, "Even if they knew, there’s nothing they can do about it!"

It had been several days already. The Kong’s couldn’t have traveled so fast, yet neither Pei Houli nor Pei Wenbo had sent any word back home. Lady Chen, focused solely on Pei Houli bringing back The Kong’s mother and daughter, so as not to let them ruin her eldest son’s affairs in Capital Jingcheng, never imagined that Pei Houli and Pei Wenbo had followed The Kong’s all the way to Capital Jingcheng.

Day by day without any news, Lady Chen also grew anxious.

Before Pei Qian had to seek them out, right when the breeding farm was completed and she was there to inspect it, Lady Chen and Lady Zhu came to her on their own initiative.

Pei Qian looked at the two of them with a scornful expression, "You want to fish for news from me?"

"It’s you who incited the Kong’s, isn’t it!?" Gritting her teeth secretly, Lady Chen was seething with resentment. The Kong’s wouldn’t dare leave without a word and take the family’s silver to Capital Jingcheng by herself. That far of a journey, a woman alone with a young child wouldn’t dare to undertake it. These despicable illegitimate children, bent on ruining and oppressing them, must have enticed the Kong’s to go to Capital Jingcheng.

"Blame for inciting her can’t be pinned on us! Pei Wenli wants to divorce and remarry; the Kong’s couldn’t accept it, so going to find him is what she should do! Do you think everyone is like my mother, who you bully without her even making a sound!?" Pei Qian scoffed coldly.

Seeing her angry and resentful appearance, Lady Chen was certain it was their doing and wished she could tear Pei Qian’s face to shreds.

Lady Zhu asked with a sullen face, "Where did you take the Kong’s?" It’s been so long since Dalang and Er Lang left, and there hasn’t been a word from them. They couldn’t have traveled that quickly unless they were hidden or abducted.

Pei Qian’s lips curled into a sneer, "You’re so sure the Kong’s were taken by us, yet you don’t know she’s already gone to Capital Jingcheng with father-in-law and my little uncle!?"

Lady Chen’s face turned pale with a purplish tint, and her voice suddenly rose, shrill, "They all went to Capital Jingcheng!?"

Pei Qian laughed disdainfully, "You can go and see for yourselves!"

Lady Chen and Lady Zhu exchanged a glance, both enraged. The Kong’s secretly took the family silver to Capital Jingcheng, and instead of bringing her back, Pei Houli and Pei Wenbo ended up accompanying her to Capital Jingcheng.

When Old Pei heard about it, he sat down with a frown, "Since they’ve gone, so be it!" Although the Kong’s seemed compliant, the fact that she could take her daughter and run away from her parents’ house to Capital Jingcheng to find Dalang meant she was no pushover. If Dalang truly intended to divorce and remarry, it was likely to not end peacefully. Now with external threats to the Pei family and the Fang family and Sister Peiqin eyeing them covetously, they could not have any troubles within the family! The Kong’s was capable, virtuous in managing a household, and could also support Dalang.

"Her going there will ruin Dalang’s chances!" Lady Chen darkened her face.

"What chances would be ruined? If the accusation of divorcing to remarry came to light, that would indeed ruin Dalang’s life!" Old Pei reprimanded angrily.

"What divorcing to remarry? The second son also married Lady Qian, and when it comes to Dalang’s turn, there’s a daughter of an official family, so the parents begin to show favoritism!?" Lady Chen was currently fed up with the Kong’s, trying to suppress her, and she dared to jeopardize her son’s affairs.
