The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 565: Snapping Off Your Canine Teeth (2)_1

Seeing him stand up and head for the door, Pei Qian called out to him, "Eldest sister said she wanted to do it herself! She told us not to go!"

Shen Songming let out a cold laugh, "She can do what she wants, but what I want to move is mine!"

Pei Qian, puzzled, exchanged a glance with Pei Yuan and watched as he strode out the door.

A day later, Shen Songming’s mood had just barely improved when he returned to hold his baby girl.

Two days later, news came that Zhao Junchao had been beaten on a night walk, breaking both his legs.

Pei Qian, who had been closely monitoring the situation, couldn’t help but laugh. She had thought they would beat Zhang Shiqian, but instead, they’d gone after Zhao Junchao! Both his legs were broken, which was letting him off lightly! Well done! Such a person deserves to be beaten to death! fгeewebnovёl.com

Old Pei’s House, which had been searching desperately for a way to break off the engagement, now seized this opportunity and forcefully called it off.

At this critical juncture, with the engagement already set, calling it off wouldn’t sound good, but it also made sense. Zhao Junchao had broken both legs and was like a disabled man; regardless of the circumstances, Pei Wenlee, with her able arms and legs, surely couldn’t marry someone crippled.

Moreover, the rumor was that he’d been beaten so brutally that he couldn’t perform his marital duties anymore.

With both legs broken and becoming a cripple, plus such a hidden ailment, Old Pei’s House had every right to call off the engagement.

The Zhao family strongly opposed this, refusing to cancel the engagement and insisting that Old Pei’s House hurry up and marry Pei Wenlee off to take care of Zhao Junchao.

The two families took their dispute to the County Government Office, where Magistrate Huang directly annulled the marriage agreement and told Zhao Junchao not to waste the young lady’s time.

Zhao Junchao didn’t know who exactly had beaten him, but he was certain of a few suspects; if it wasn’t them, it had to be Shen Songming, who was the most likely. But the Zhao family didn’t dare to confront Shen Songming directly, so they pinned the blame for Zhao Junchao’s beating on Old Pei’s House, claiming they had broken Zhao’s legs in order to break off the engagement.

However, without evidence, this case was not the doing of Old Pei’s House, and they firmly denied it.

The dispute between the two families became unmanageable.

Zhang Shiqian, however, was terrified. As soon as Shen Songming arrived, Zhao Junchao’s legs were broken—it must have something to do with him. He was doing it to avenge Pei Qin! Having dealt with Zhao Junchao, he must be next, right? Sister Lian had been cold to him since the miscarriage. If his legs were broken, she would only despise him more and then abandon him to remarry, wouldn’t she?

From hearing the news, he didn’t dare to leave his house for several days and couldn’t even sleep soundly.

Jiujiu also welcomed her full month celebration.

Aside from a few relatives, not only the townspeople, but even people from Capital Jingcheng who had business dealings came to give gifts and congratulations.

Garbed in a blue cloud-patterned straight robe, Ji Bingchu wore a sachet and a jade pendant at his waist and fanned himself with a playful smirk on his handsome face, the very picture of a dashing, indifferent young master. "They say the little one looks just like her dad. Show her to me first!"

Seeing him, Mo Heng’s brows immediately furrowed, refusing to let him see his daughter.

Ji Bingchu clicked his tongue twice, "Why do you make that face as soon as you see me? I’m not trying to steal your daughter!" Closing his fan and adjusting his locks with a motion of his hand, he called out, "Xiao Qinqin! I’ve traveled far and wide to offer my congratulations, hurry up and bring out your little Jiujiu!"

Pei Qin, who had just tidied up and was feeling refreshed, stumbled at the address—Xiao Qinqin!? Who was he calling that?

Mo Heng’s handsome face also instantly darkened, his gaze dangerously fixed on Ji Bingchu, as if ready to draw his sword.

The people outside in the courtyard were also surprised, speculating about the noble young master who had suddenly appeared. Was he also acquainted with Pei Qin? But that address... was really too... Even Mo Heng wouldn’t be that nauseating, right? What was his relationship to Pei Qin?
