The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 1230 - 284: Time of Death Arrives_2

Jiujiu looked at her perplexedly, "Learn what, Mom?"

"Learn your dad’s expressionless poker face!" Pei Qin patted her little head and took the bowl from her.

Jiujiu placed her hands on her hips and raised her little chin, "I don’t want to be like Dad at all! I am a vibrant and youthful beauty!"

"Right! Just minus a few teeth!" Pei Qin nodded in agreement.

"I’m just changing my teeth! They’ll grow back soon!" Jiujiu complained dissatisfied.

Xixi felt her own teeth, "My teeth are strong!"

Mom and the girls laughed and played together.

Xiao Chonghua came with a box of bird’s nest, "Master! Did Master Dad buy up all of this year’s blood bird’s nests!?"

Pei Qin looked at him smoothly switching between ’Master’ and ’Master Dad’ and couldn’t help but look up at the ceiling. She only taught him casually, how did she become his master!? Just one ’Master Dad’ had bought Mo Heng’s loyalty; in the future, she needed to keep a closer eye on her precious daughter! There were so many lads out in the wide world! How could one be tied to just one tree!?

Xixi saw him coming over and scurried towards him, "Xiao Chonghua, did you bring any snacks?"

Xiao Chonghua looked at her chubby, tender little face, resembling a little bun, and couldn’t help but smile, as he squatted down to look at her eye-to-eye, "Not only did I bring snacks, but guess what else I have brought!"

Xixi sniffed, "Fried milk pigeon!"

"Little foodie! Sharp nose! But it’s not just fried milk pigeon, I’ve also brought sweet bean jelly!" Xiao Chonghua chuckled as he tickled her nose and handed the fried milk pigeon to the maid to have her wash her hands.

After they had their snacks, Pei Qin tidied up, and Happy also arrived. Pei Qin started to teach everyone drawing skills.

Pei Yuan and Pei Qian, Xi Yun, and Dan Mingzhu gathered together to discuss styles and production of summer outfits. It was getting hot, and it would soon be time to switch to summer clothes.

Jun Suxue silently carried a basket of needlework, making clothes for Pei Qin under the porch. The General was pregnant; surely even the heavens could not stand by idly—they must have sent this child to save the General! Those vile women plotting to bear the Son of the Xining Marquis’s child can finally quiet down!

Wei Shu, however, didn’t believe Pei Qin could be pregnant. Someone who was struck with a severe poison, whose life was nearly forfeit, how could they possibly conceive again? Now the Marquis Mansion Yongchang was sealed off, and Mo Han couldn’t help her anymore. Thinking of her being violated and schemed against made Wei Shu’s nails almost dig into her flesh.

Lady Mo’s wet nurse came to her, begging her to appeal for mercy for Lady Mo and her child, to save Lady Mo.

With the Marquis Mansion Yongchang fallen and the case grave, almost no one in The Imperial Court dared to intervene. Luo Zhen had died, and although the Mo family was also running around to help, they were more afraid Mo Heng would turn the blame toward them, opting instead for a policy of wise protection.

Wei Shu and Lady Mo had always had a good relationship. Seeing her wet nurse crying pitifully, Wei Shu also tearfully cried with her, "I will definitely find a way to save Sister Han and her child!"

The wet nurse wept with gratitude and kowtowed to show her thanks.

Wei Shu thought for a while before deciding to seek out Mo Heng directly.

The Manufacturing Bureau now could almost be considered a vital location for The Imperial Court, controlling new types of firearms, and holding the lifeline of the military of Great Chu. Even without a nation’s soldiers, as long as one had rifles and grenades, no force was a match. When Xiao Guangzhao was in power, he had tried hard to keep the Manufacturing Bureau under his control.

When Xiao Guangjing took power, he handed over the entire Manufacturing Bureau to Pei Qin and Mo Heng, with Xiao Yong only working as an assistant. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Now that Pei Qin was pregnant, Mo Heng directly took over all responsibilities of the Manufacturing Bureau. He would stand in for Pei Qin during roll call in the army and then sit in the Manufacturing Bureau for her.

However, he wasn’t as enthusiastic about these matters and wasn’t like Pei Qin, who took to the battlefield personally; he clocked out on time to go home.

Wei Shu stopped directly in front of his horse, "Jiu Heng!"

Mo Heng looked down at her coldly, his expression disdainful.

Wei Shu had wanted to see him for a while but could only watch from afar. Seeing him stop his horse, she looked up at him; his increasingly composed and handsome appearance unwittingly mesmerized her, "Jiu Heng!" Yet in her heart, she felt a stabbing pain. This man should have been hers!

Mo Heng’s eyes showed undisguised disgust. He pulled the horse’s reins, preparing to go around her.

Seeing him about to leave, Wei Shu stepped forward to stop him again, "Jiu Heng! I have something to say to you!"

Mo Heng looked at her coldly, "Please address me as the Marquis of Xining!"

"Jiu Heng..." Wei Shu looked at him, her eyes brimming with tears, "I really have something to say to you! I need to ask you for a favor!"

Mo Heng’s gaze flashed, and he took out his pocket watch to check the time before dismounting from his horse.

Wei Shu felt joy surge in her heart and immediately invited him to a nearby teahouse to talk.

As many who recognized Pei Qin, so too did many recognize Mo Heng, the husband of General Pei, a man equally outstanding, the Marquis of Xining!
