Chapter 826: Chapter 177: Not Done by this Old Lady_2

Pei Qin lifted her head from a pile of formulas, "I heard!"

"You heard and you have no reaction!?" Pei Qian glared at her.

Pei Qin put down her pen, "Goodness! Kong’s is actually pregnant during the mourning period? Then Pei Wenli is definitely doomed! First selling his mother for wealth, now lecherous during the mourning period, shall we take this opportunity to finish him off?"

Pei Qian’s face darkened, seeing her opening her eyes wide and blinking as if she was speaking the truth, "I want to strangle you!"

Pei Qin rolled her eyes at her, "Heaven’s acts can be forgiven, one’s own cannot live on! They’re busy courting death, you just need to stand by and enjoy the show!"

"I want to add fuel to the fire! Kick them while they’re down!" Pei Qian said with a stern face.

Pei Qin raised an eyebrow, "Then go start a fire! Just adding a little oil won’t even cover the cost of the oil!"

Pei Qian thought so too, but wasn’t she the one who didn’t want to get blood on her hands?

Pei Qin tidied up the things on the desk and threw them into the drawer, "Where has Jiujiu run off to now?"

"She went to find Xingwang," Pei Qian said.

Pei Qin drank a cup of hot water, then went outside for a stroll.

The weather in February had already warmed up, people had begun planting sweet potato seedlings, the air was cool after the rain, but the cold edge of winter was gone.

People started to come out and move around.

Seeing Pei Qin come out, they all greeted her with a smile, "Lady Mo is out for a walk again!"

"Yes, moving around, makes the body tough, less suffering during childbirth," Pei Qin also smiled and greeted in return.

Along the way, everyone who saw Pei Qin greeted her, she hadn’t walked far when someone came up to her, secretly sharing the news of Kong’s pregnancy, "... Her mother just got buried, and the two of them messed around during the mourning period, and even got pregnant, this really is laughable!"

"How could she possibly be pregnant?" Pei Qin inquired with a smile of disbelief.

"Heard it from the butcher’s wife, said she’s already having morning sickness! Can there be any doubt?"

Pei Qin sighed twice.

Not far along, someone else came to curry favor, "Heard that Kong’s is pregnant, huh!"

After just a couple of alleys, another person came, "Pei Wenli’s household, they actually got pregnant during the mourning period! The world is truly declining, no sense of filial piety!"

As Pei Qin walked around, several people looking to ingratiate themselves quickly spread the news of Kong’s pregnancy throughout the town.

Pei Wenli and Zhang Shiqian finished speaking and came face to face with her as Pei Qin was talking with a few women at a stall. Pei Wenli’s face immediately darkened.

"That secretive manner, definitely spreading rumors to ruin your reputation," Zhang Shiqian whispered.

Pei Wenli stared at Pei Qin, a sinister light flickering in his eyes.

Some people saw Pei Wenli and quickly said to Pei Qin, "He also has the look of a scholar!"

Pei Qin turned her head and looked at Pei Wenli and Zhang Shiqian, raising her eyebrow.

Pei Wenli grew even more irate, "Madam Yuanyang is actually a gossiper too, speaking ill of others behind their backs, spreading rumors!"

"Spreading rumors? What rumors?" Pei Qin asked, puzzled.

"You were just spreading rumors, we caught you red-handed, and you still won’t admit it?" Zhang Shiqian, seeing Pei Wenli speak up, also quickly chimed in.

Pei Qin suddenly realized, "You mean about Kong’s being pregnant? I heard she was vomiting in the street, but what does that have to do with me? It’s not like I made her pregnant!"

The several wives and older women beside them all had a twitch of their faces. Of course, Kong’s pregnancy wasn’t her doing—it was Pei Wenli’s!

Pei Wenli’s face turned green.

"You’re talking nonsense! Wenli and Sister-in-law are definitely not pregnant, yet you are here ruining their reputation. As Madam Yuanyang, you can just slander people at will!?" Zhang Shiqian fumed.

"Then cut off my ears!" Pei Qin chuckled.

"Gossiping behind backs, committing verbal misdeeds, Madam Yuanyang should probably refrain from speaking of uncertain matters! To avoid compromising one’s virtue," Pei Wenli said coldly.

"Compromising virtue, huh?" Pei Qin said, glancing at Zhang Shiqian, "I remember last time, not far from here, someone said ’no manners’."

Zhang Shiqian’s complexion shifted slightly.

Pei Wenli met her gaze, "The one spreading rumors and talking about people behind their backs is indeed you. What more do you want?"

"I still want to give you a good thrashing!" Pei Qin lifted her leg and kicked towards him.

Pei Wenli, thinking she wouldn’t dare to strike, especially in front of so many people and with her pregnant belly, quickly dodged when she actually made a move.

Pei Qin, who hadn’t missed a day of training even while pregnant, wasn’t going to let him escape. She firmly kicked him in the chest.

Pei Wenli let out a miserable yell, staggered back two steps, and still didn’t manage to steady himself, tumbling down by the riverbank.

Zhang Shiqian pointed at Pei Qin, his face flushed with anger, "Broad daylight and you’re striking people!?"
