Chapter 393: Don’t Play Intelligence with Mom (7)_1
He was actually worrying needlessly; Pei Qin was very safe and honest!
But it wasn’t just him who was worried; everyone at Old Pei’s House could be described as being on tenterhooks every day.
The Zhao family was in a desperate hurry to marry, but they didn’t dare to collide with this timing, for fear of provoking Pei Qin to vent her anger on them! If it came down to a situation where both sides were destroyed, it would be more than enough trouble for them! So they kept pressuring Old Pei’s House, urging them to fulfill the marriage contract as soon as possible.
Sun Xiujin also hoped every day that the Zhao family would make a fuss as soon as possible and take Pei Qin away while Shen Songming was not around. Otherwise, if the Zhao family yielded to the power of the Shen family, they might be threatened into calling off the engagement, making Pei Qin even more pitied by Shen Songming because she had lost the reward!
Zhao Junchao felt the same way; he also feared that Pei Qin might be aspiring to climb the high branch that was Shen Songming, and once he arrived, the Zhao family couldn’t compete with Shen Songming. Although they could get some benefits from the magistrate of the Shen family, it was far less than what marrying Pei Qin would bring!
Landlord Chang also began to worry about Pei Qin’s marriage, picking out well-educated, good-looking, and well-off young men from the Chang’s clan, but none of them were quite right. Even though the reward had turned out this way, Pei Qin probably wouldn’t let it go easily, and Shen Songming should respond. So, those who weren’t outstanding were somewhat lacking for Pei Qin.
Landlord Zhao, being a nephew, was also a talented individual serving as a minor team leader at the guardhouse and had a few men under his command; there was definite hope for his promotion. Pei Qin didn’t like bookish scholars too much, but rough young men skilled in martial arts often caught her eye.
Pei Qin now wasn’t interested in anything; she was preparing for Lady Fang’s annual memorial service.
