The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 1232 - 284: The End is Nigh_4

Wei Shu opened her mouth, "Outside the city... I was framed!"

"It was you who arranged to meet Jun Suxue outside, but Jun Suxue didn’t go, and you got into trouble yourself," Mo Heng looked at her indifferently.

Wei Shu’s heart tightened, gazing at his eyes deep and still as an ancient well, serene and tranquil, the same way he had looked at her years ago, and her mind fuzzed, "I..."

"She never targeted you, never harmed you. She doesn’t even see these things. She hasn’t pursued the sins of Old Pei’s House. Not to mention the Marquis Mansion Yongchang, she doesn’t recognize it either. She hasn’t harmed any of you. So, why have you been pressuring her step by step?" Mo Heng asked her.

Wei Shu looked at him blankly, "Jiu Heng..."

"I used every means to have her! It’s only been eight years, but you, step by step, pressuring her, wanting to take her away from me! Ruin her!" Mo Heng clutched at his chest, she was his most precious! His most beloved!

Wei Shu suddenly remembered what he had said years ago at Songshan Academy, "You... Jiu Heng, you... love her?"

Mo Heng stood up, looking coldly at her, "I love her! Even without her, even without leaving the Mo family, I would never marry someone I do not love! And I most certainly would not marry you!"

Wei Shu staggered as if struck by thunder, taking two unsteady steps back, shaking her head, "No!" She couldn’t believe it! Jiu Heng was surely fond of her! He used to spend time with her frequently, indifferent and distant from other women, he was fond of her!

"Wei Shu! In consideration of Old Mr. Wei, I’m warning you for the last time. If there is any further action, take the Marquis Mansion Yongchang as a precedent!" Mo Heng bore no grudge toward the Wei family, but he had tolerated Wei Shu as much as he could!

"Jiu Heng... Jiu Heng..." Wei Shu cried, reaching out to grab him.

Mo Heng circulated his energy, flung his sleeve, drew his sword, and with the guards, left.

Wei Shu was thrown to the ground, her face pale and desperate, "Jiu Heng! Jiu Heng!" He was just using Pei Qin! Only using her! Her Jiu Heng, how could he fall in love with that vile woman, Pei Qin!? She was harming people! She was merely garnering public sympathy, having everyone side with her, exonerating her! She’s a demoness! A demoness who has bewitched Jiu Heng!

Mo Heng’s warning did not lead her to sudden repentance or make her shrink back in fear, instead, it further ignited her hatred for Pei Qin.

Many people were watching, this shameless Ms. Wei, blocking Mo Heng to speak, was it another attempt at seduction? Mo Heng came down from the tea house, sword in hand and a cold expression, and people started crowding around to watch the joke that was Wei Shu.

Maidservants cried, trying to console her for a long time, but Wei Shu’s hatred remained unchanging, her resentment bursting forth. Pei Qin, a woman soon to die, yet pregnant with Jiu Heng’s child...

A wad of paper was thrown towards her.

Wei Shu looked at the somewhat familiar paper ball, picked it up, and it turned out to be a page of medical records, detailing a secret technique where the fetus absorbs toxins from the mother’s body to save her life. The more she read, the more shocked she became, and suddenly understood, "Jiu Heng... is using this method to save Pei Qin!?"

She immediately decided to take action first.

Mo Heng did not go out in the afternoon, staying at home and napping for most of the day with Pei Qin.

Xie Yi came over with her four-month pregnant belly to pay her respects.

Sleepy-eyed, Pei Qin yawned, leaning on Mo Heng as she came out, "Blame you, you made me sleep too much, the more I sleep, the sleepier I get!"

"Every time, with the child, you become fond of sleep, it gets better after four months. If tired, sleep a bit more," Mo Heng said, holding her as they went out.

Xie Yi looked at their intimacy, even in front of their servants, without any shame, completely disgraceful!

Qing Ju attended to her, and seeing that she didn’t go forward, bowed from a distance to Pei Qin and Mo Heng.

Mo Heng directly took Pei Qin to the garden to wake up, "Have the snacks and tonic soup sent to The Plum Garden."

Xue Dong heard the order and went to the kitchen to prepare.

Xie Yi hurriedly followed, "Marquis! Madam!"

Pei Qin stopped, turning to look at her, her gaze sweeping over the bulging belly with a slight raise of the eyebrows, "Is there something?"

Xie Yi looked at Mo Heng, "I would like to leave the mansion for a bit."

"Why leave the mansion? You are with child; you should be taking good care of yourself," Pei Qin asked her with an "oh" sound.

This was prearranged, Xie Yi insisted on leaving the mansion, "I keep having nightmares lately, I want to go to the temple to offer incense, to ask for a peace talisman!"

"Have Zhang Gengshan arrange the carriage," Mo Heng instructed Qing Ju.

Qing Ju bowed in response.

Mo Heng led Pei Qin into the garden.

Xie Yi gloomily watched the two for a while, "I’ll go for a walk in the garden too."

Qing Ju glanced at her dispassionately, "Ms. Xie! Tiance Mansion has rules; when the Marquis and Madam are in the garden, no one else is allowed to enter. This is to prevent any accidents!"
