Chapter 747: Forgive You (2)_1
"Let someone else be the matchmaker! With the lady bearing a child, and our families being so far apart, the rough ride back and forth could disturb the fetal energy," Mo Heng flatly refused.
Grandma Li and Old Man Li hurriedly said, "No need to run back and forth! No need! Just showing up and going through the motions will suffice!"
"In this freezing weather, with her heavily pregnant, running around all over the place – if there’s an accident, no one could bear the responsibility," Mo Heng disagreed.
Grandma Fang also advised, "Bao Xiang’s mother should find someone else! How can Qinqin, a pregnant woman, be expected to hustle about? Surely, we can’t disregard her health."
Pei Qian standing at the door sneered, "You want the Lady of the Third-Rank Enjoin to save face for you, expecting her to run around heavily pregnant in the freezing cold – you’ve got the matchmaker’s gift ready!?"
Seeing her mocking and cold eyes, Grandma Li’s face stiffened. Old Man Li, too, felt like he was losing face. He had said it’d be impossible to get her to agree, yet they insisted on asking her. Now, being bluntly refused to her face, how embarrassing!
Grandma Li’s eyes shifted, pulling Grandma Fang to ask Lady Yu to be the matchmaker, "This is her godmother, and that family are her maternal cousins. If Pei Qin can’t make it, we can only ask Bao Xiang’s godmother!"
"She’s been engaged by the Yu family as a Quan Furen, so she can’t be the matchmaker. When it comes down to it, the matchmaker will still have to do the running – you might as well hire one!" Grandma Fang did not support the idea of their family becoming related to the Yu family.
Yet, Lady Yu’s cousin’s family believed Li Baoxiang had prospects and, as the godson of the Fang family with a good household status, despite being a second wife, with no sons in the primary line, it truly was a good match, and they’d discussed becoming family.
Seeing she couldn’t invite anyone, Grandma Li then turned to look at Pei Qin.
Pei Qin shrugged her shoulders.
