The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 1245 - 285: Grand Finale Part 1_11

Pei Qin held the melon and began to dig into it with a spoon, not even wanting to eat dinner anymore.

Shen Songming came over and saw her eating the melon, his face immediately stretched long, "Eating all by yourself, huh!"

Pei Qin was puzzled, "How is this eating all by myself? I had someone send one to you too!"

Having too many was bad luck, she liked them, so she gave them just one each, the rest was for Pei Qin herself.

Mo Heng, who was more narrow-minded than the point of a needle, was jealous that Shen Songming woke Pei Qin up, which is why he withheld that melon.

Once Pei Qin saw his face, realizing it hadn’t been delivered, she coughed twice, "Hasn’t it been delivered yet? Tell them not to bother sending it, just bring this one here and finish it off!" she instructed Huang Qiu.

Huang Qiu’s eyes flickered, smiled, and went down. He washed another watermelon, dried it, and brought it over.

Shen Songming pouted, moved over a reclining chair, and sat next to Pei Qin, also holding a melon, digging into it with a spoon and devouring a large bite, "Add a cool breeze to this, that’s what I call life!"

After finishing a watermelon, Pei Qin belched twice and comfortably adjusted the back of her chair.

Seeing her like this, Shen Songming asked, "What do you plan to do with that bunch from Old Pei’s House? If you let them out, Pei Wendong could instantly gain two more fathers and a heap of relatives!" He wasn’t there to probe, but rather to tell Pei Qin to stay out of it. Leave it to Mo Heng, who was heartless—if he took action, those people from Old Pei’s House only had death awaiting them with no way out!

"Men handle the external affairs, women manage the internal. For matters outside, just look for my husband!" Pei Qin rubbed her belly, having eaten too much.

Shen Songming nodded and leaned in to ask her, "Want to check out the crystal mine? Over at Andong Wei’s place, they’ve already established a market for mining, cutting, processing, and selling crystals all in one. A lot of jewelry products are using crystals now! I’ve arranged an exhibition, let’s go have a look!" He wanted to take her out for a change of scenery to nurture her fetus and heal from poisoning.

Pei Qin glanced at him, "I absolutely can’t go right now! I have a challenging mission!"

"The Manufacturing Bureau can be completely handed over to Xiao Yong now. As for Xiao Chonghua, you can take her with you! Going out will broaden her horizons! It’s definitely better than being stuck in the Palace," urged Shen Songming, pushing her a bit.

"I can’t go," Pei Qin shook her head, "With the vinegar jar in hand, there’s no place to go!"

It was clear she just didn’t want to leave. The challenging mission was her arranging her affairs. Shen Songming stared at her for a while, his feelings indescribable, "Pei Qin! Your husband needs disciplining! If a husband doesn’t obey, it’s mostly because he’s been spoiled. Just beat him to death once and it’ll be fine!"

"Can you beat him?" Pei Qin gave him a sideways glance.

Shen Songming replied with a dark face, "No, I can’t."

"I can’t beat him either." Pei Qin gave him a look as well. In this world where the fist reigns supreme, she only had the role to be suppressed.

Lady Zhu also discovered she couldn’t beat Qian Wanxiu when she became ruthless.

Old Pei made her stop stirring trouble. The most important thing now was to escape!

Qian Wanxiu, beaten to a bruised and swollen face, sat bitterly in a corner of the prison cell. She didn’t want to die! She wanted to see with her own eyes Pei Qin, that wretched woman, meet a bad end! A terrible fate! As for those people from the Pei family... As long as they pinned the blame on Emperor Yongle, Xiao Guangzhao, they could head to the execution grounds!

But Qian Wanxiu still had her son inside; it was her son who had taken the lead, and he couldn’t escape either. He was her beloved son, and she couldn’t bear it!

Soon, the Cabinet drafted a regulation: all of the Pei family were to be exiled to the Northern Place with the Rong Clan!

The main culprits, Pei Wenchen, Pei Wenli, and Pei Zongli, continued to be imprisoned.

Lady Zhu and a few others cried and screamed, refusing to leave no matter what. Being exiled to live with the Rong Clan was even worse than being locked up in prison.

Old Pei despairingly looked at the blazing sun, with darkness flashing before his eyes. It was over! Old Pei’s House was thoroughly ruined!

Pei Zongli refused to accept it, making a fuss and demanding to be resentenced. He shouted that Pei Wendong was his son, that he had been fooled and threatened by Pei Wenchen and Lady Qian, and that was why he followed them in foolishly calling Pei Qin a demon. He cried out, begging Pei Wendong to save him, claiming that he was the real father of the top scholar and the father-in-law of the Commandery Princess!

He was immediately flogged by the prison guard, "Hurry up and leave! Or you’ll regret it!"

Whether staying or leaving, there was no good end! In such scorching heat, having to travel thousands of miles, after another round of uproar, they all slowly fell into despair.

Wei Shu, looking at the news, felt a chill in her heart. At this point, she dared not stir any further. With Qian Wanxiu captured and thrown into the great prison, if anyone else caused trouble, it would surely affect her.

Still, there were whispers circulating. Not daring to show up overtly, they discussed in private. Pei Qin was not normal! She wasn’t a normal human being! Xie Yi went out to offer incense, and the strange lightning that struck her down was the proof!
