Chapter 414 Completely Breaking Away from Old Pei’s House (1)_1
Concubines need the consent of the first wife’s family to be promoted, something country folks really don’t know about, they whispered among themselves. Even if Qian Wanxiu comes from a wealthy family, she is still just a concubine, unable to become the legitimate wife!?
"You little slut! You lowly spawn! You... you dare to assault your elders, this is unfilial! I’m going to the Government Office to accuse you! I’ll have you locked up for life!" Lady Zhu cursed angrily.
"Go ahead and accuse! You won’t win at the Government Office, you might as well go to the Yamen!" Pei Qin looked at her and laughed.
"Pei Qin! With your brazen boldness, you’re bound to bring disaster upon your head!" Old Pei said through clenched teeth, enraged.
"Hahaha..." Pei Qin laughed loudly, and kicked him, "Old thing! If I dare to be bold, it’s because I have the backing for it! A disaster on my head? I’ve seen worse! Go ahead and accuse me, but let me remind you, forget the County Government Office, go straight to the Yamen! The Qian family struck from the shadows, nearly imprisoning my siblings and me, and now they have snatched away the rewards, see if Meng Dinglun will give you face this time!"
The Qian family struck from shadows, leading them to face prison!? The villagers were all unaware of this, even Old Pei’s House was ignorant about it.
Pei Qian clenched her teeth and said to those around, "Last year my elder sister and I were taken away by the Yamen officials. They said it was for questioning about sweet potatoes, but someone had reported us for planting them, claiming we were spies from a foreign country intending to rebel. They wanted to execute us on those charges! If we hadn’t had the Shen family’s card with us, we would have been thrown into jail on the spot!"
Everyone was shocked and doubtful, having never heard of such a thing, "Is this true or just a fabrication?"
"Use your knees to think about it. Sweet potatoes have only been planted for a year, and only the people of Yuanyang County would know about it. Runing Prefecture is so far away, how did they find out so clearly, and even report us as spies from a foreign country!?" Pei Qian hummed angrily.
