Chapter 560: Carrying a Nezha in the Womb (7)_1
Grandma Sun, upon hearing the news, breathed a sigh of relief, "If Xiao Pei had been harmed by that thing he was carrying, it would have meant the loss of two lives!" Then she went outside and told everyone she met that Zhang Shiqian harmed others only to harm himself, and that punishment was soon to come for Old Pei’s House as well.
After learning what had happened, Sun Xiujin gritted her teeth in anger within the confines of her home. She bought a bag of eggs and some red sugar and millet to visit Li Baolian. Looking at the guilt-ridden and dispirited Zhang Shiqian, she wished she could curse him to death. Idiot! A complete idiot! Having possession of that thing, he should have somehow stuffed it into that wench Pei Qin! And yet he carried it on his person, causing Li Baolian to miscarry.
Once the matter turned out like this, the Li family hurried over, infuriated beyond words. It had been over a hundred days since Bao Xiang’s arm was injured, and they had been thinking of removing the plaster cast. If there were no problems with the arm, they would ask Mo Heng to resume teaching Bao Xiang. At this critical juncture, Zhang Shiqian, as the Li family’s son-in-law, was found carrying that harmful substance, precisely at a time when there might be people wanting to harm the child in Pei Qin’s womb.
No matter the explanation, the villagers still suspected Zhang Shiqian wanted revenge on Pei Qin. Even the rumors that had spread about Pei Qin being pregnant before marriage were pinned on him.
Li Baolian, crying and shouting, wanted to return to her maternal home. If it weren’t for the fact that she was in her postpartum confinement and couldn’t sit on another family’s stools or beds, Grandma Li would have really wanted to take her away.
Bao Xiang was also extremely angry.
The time had come to remove his plaster cast, and Old Scholar Fang, Fang Li, and Lady Yu all came over.
Grandma Li and Old Man Li were even more concerned about their son’s arm, waiting anxiously at the Sun Lizheng family’s home.
With her belly showing, Pei Qin came over accompanied by Mo Heng, followed by Lu Hai, Feng Wei, and the ever-vigilant Pei Qian.
Seeing her arrive with Mo Heng and Pei Qian, even just for a short distance to their home, accompanied by two martially adept, stone-faced guards, Sun Lizheng felt a tremor of unease. Could it be that even his family was under suspicion and had to be guarded against?
