Chapter 747: Chapter 747: Forgive You (2)_1

"Let someone else be the matchmaker! With the lady bearing a child, and our families being so far apart, the rough ride back and forth could disturb the fetal energy," Mo Heng flatly refused.

Grandma Li and Old Man Li hurriedly said, "No need to run back and forth! No need! Just showing up and going through the motions will suffice!"

"In this freezing weather, with her heavily pregnant, running around all over the place – if there’s an accident, no one could bear the responsibility," Mo Heng disagreed.

Grandma Fang also advised, "Bao Xiang’s mother should find someone else! How can Qinqin, a pregnant woman, be expected to hustle about? Surely, we can’t disregard her health."

Pei Qian standing at the door sneered, "You want the Lady of the Third-Rank Enjoin to save face for you, expecting her to run around heavily pregnant in the freezing cold – you’ve got the matchmaker’s gift ready!?"

Seeing her mocking and cold eyes, Grandma Li’s face stiffened. Old Man Li, too, felt like he was losing face. He had said it’d be impossible to get her to agree, yet they insisted on asking her. Now, being bluntly refused to her face, how embarrassing!

Grandma Li’s eyes shifted, pulling Grandma Fang to ask Lady Yu to be the matchmaker, "This is her godmother, and that family are her maternal cousins. If Pei Qin can’t make it, we can only ask Bao Xiang’s godmother!"

"She’s been engaged by the Yu family as a Quan Furen, so she can’t be the matchmaker. When it comes down to it, the matchmaker will still have to do the running – you might as well hire one!" Grandma Fang did not support the idea of their family becoming related to the Yu family.

Yet, Lady Yu’s cousin’s family believed Li Baoxiang had prospects and, as the godson of the Fang family with a good household status, despite being a second wife, with no sons in the primary line, it truly was a good match, and they’d discussed becoming family.

Seeing she couldn’t invite anyone, Grandma Li then turned to look at Pei Qin.

Pei Qin shrugged her shoulders.

Grandma Li’s gaze fell on Grandma Fang.

Grandma Fang quickly said, "Dalang’s mother has already become a Quan Furen, our family cannot take on any more responsibilities. We’ve taken our share, it’s time for others to get a chance!"

At a loss, Grandma Li looked toward Fang Hui and Feng Shouxing, "What are you here for then?"

In front of them all, Fang Hui felt utterly humiliated and looked at Pei Qin.

Pei Qin turned her face away and leisurely sipped her tea.

Although Feng Shouxing felt embarrassed, seeing Pei Qin acting this way, it seemed like she wasn’t truly forgiving them, it was too obviously perfunctory. Despite the shame, with Grandma Li and her husband present, the promise Pei Qin made could now not be retracted. Saying they were forgiven meant they must continue to get along well. With an awkward expression, he explained for a moment and inadvertently mentioned the broken Jade Cabbage Sculpture, bowing repeatedly, "We have come with all sincerity to apologize! Qinqin, please forgive us! We are all family, there’s no enmity that can’t be overcome!"

Grandma Li turned her head to look at the crushed item and the shelf beside it, exclaimed, "That was a large jade piece, must be worth a lot of silver! The Jade Cabbage is a symbol of wealth, normally it shouldn’t be touched – how could it have been broken!?"

Seeing her add fuel to the fire, Fang Hui felt annoyed and looked at Pei Qin with tears in her eyes, "Qinqin! I genuinely know I was wrong, and felt too ashamed to come and apologize myself, which is why I asked your grandma to accompany me. It’s all my fault, I said those cruel words in shock. Please forgive me! Your little aunt has come to apologize to you!" She stood up to give Pei Qin a formal apology.

Grandma Fang also spoke up, "Qinqin!?" With Grandma Li and her husband there, it was hard for them to even speak properly.

Pei Qin was perplexed, "But I’ve already said that I forgive you all!"

Fang Hui was taken aback, "You really forgive us?"

"Yes!" Though Pei Qin thought watching them perform their sobbing drama was harmless, the others had already been cold-shouldered.

"Since it wasn’t deliberate, and since the broken item will be compensated for by half, let’s put the matter to rest. There’s no need for any of you to concern yourselves further," Mo Heng said indifferently.
