Chapter 559: Carrying a Nezha in the Womb (6)_1
Sister Peiqin and her brothers did not set up their stall again, Lady Yu said Peiqin was so upset that she was unwell, and those vicious tactics of Old Pei’s House that plotted against human life, "... are just the work of those who can’t stand to see others become rich and successful, who, after listening to a few instigations, blindly throw mud, becoming accomplices to the Pei family, helping them to harm others!"
With this said, many people dared not say anything further, and some, who were indifferent and believed that Peiqin had been involved in a suspicious marriage and had become pregnant before her wedding, also refrained from speaking about it in public.
Sun Xiujin had not expected that the uproar caused by Grandma Fang and Lady Yu at the market would silence those people, which infuriated her.
Both Grandma Fang and the mother and daughter-in-law Yu were the Scholar’s mother, and with three scholars produced from the same family, even though Magistrate Wu had left, Peiqin was still an imperial merchant, and the imperial gift of the Pai Building was still standing amidst the sweet potato fields. Those who repeated rumors hesitated to spread them further, and began to question whether the Pei family’s spread of such rumors, tarnishing Peiqin’s reputation, was really an act of plotting against someone’s life!?
Zhang Shiqian, infuriated, walked around the street and noticed that no one was speaking ill about Peiqin anymore. Instead, there were whispers that Old Pei’s House was employing their old tricks to harm others. Clutching the musk sachet on his body, he gritted his teeth and began thinking of new plans. To show these people by causing that wretched woman to have a premature birth!
However, before he could use his musk on Peiqin, Li Baolian, who was on her way to the Sun family to visit Sun Xiujin, suddenly felt abdominal pain and started bleeding from below.
Passersby were frightened and quickly called for help, supporting her to the nearby pharmacy to see a doctor.
The doctor diagnosed that she had accidentally ingested ’Duan Menzi,’ leading to a miscarriage.
