Chapter 554: Carrying a Nezha in the Womb (1)_1
"The rumors have spread everywhere by now, with all sorts of nasty things being said. Those malicious people are saying things that are extremely distasteful!" Grandma Sun was so angry she wished she could argue with someone, urging Pei Qin to think of a way to stop those rumors immediately.
"Where did the rumors begin?" Pei Qin asked with a dark expression.
Mo Heng looked toward Feng Wei, signaling him to investigate.
Grandma Sun speculated, "It must be a few vicious people from Old Pei’s House. They’re envious because you married well, and since they couldn’t succeed during Liuming’s time, now that the Fang family has produced three scholars, they’ve resorted to sneakily smearing you to ruin your reputation."
"But Old Pei’s House wouldn’t make up the story of my getting pregnant before marriage without reason," Pei Qin frowned.
Seeing the expressions on Pei Qin and Mo Heng’s faces, Grandma Sun tried to calm her down, "Xiao Pei, don’t get mad!

You’re pregnant now, getting angry might even lead to premature birth!"
Pei Qin nodded, telling her there was no need to argue with them, "It’s not easy for them to have such a juicy topic to gossip about. The more you argue with them, the more they’ll enjoy it and even argue back."
"I just can’t stand it! The villagers seem nice enough usually, but you see their true colors when something happens. You and your siblings have gotten wealthy in a short period, and they’re envious. The rumor that you got pregnant before marriage is really taking off!" Grandma Sun was infuriated as she relayed this, "I can’t argue with them, I just watch! When there’s work to be done and money to be made, let’s see how those people have the nerve to show their faces!"
