The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 642 Unforgettable Great Kindness (2)_1

Mo Heng took the opportunity to say, "Prince, your great kindness is something I will never forget. Should you ever require my assistance in the future, please feel free to command me."

Xiao Guangbi came precisely to hear these words. Now that he heard them, his smile became more pleasant. "I saved you and your wife not for repayment. I have long admired your extraordinary talents and truly couldn’t stand to see you and your family suffer wrongful accusations, leading to the extermination of your entire household."

"A debt of gratitude must be repaid; to do otherwise is not the mark of a gentleman." Mo Heng insisted.

Xiao Guangbi’s smile deepened as he respectfully offered a cup of tea to Mo Heng, "If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to seek me out."

Mo Heng raised his teacup and clinked it with Xiao Guangbi’s.

After Mo Heng left, a middle-aged man dressed like an accountant emerged from a partition, "Prince! This man is quite scheming; we must be on our guard."

Xiao Guangbi was somewhat dismissive, "He only possesses some talent and has been held in too high esteem from an early age, which has made him lofty and aloof."

"Prince! This Mo Heng fell hard from a high place but managed to endure in silence for years and even married Pei Qin. He is not merely high-minded and proud," the man advised again.

"A gentleman may take revenge after ten years; has he merely endured for a few? If he is a formidable character who can be of use to me, wouldn’t that be even better?" Xiao Guangbi poured himself another cup of tea, "Pack a pound of this tea and send it to Mo Heng."

The guard beside him complied and quickly packed a pound of tea leaves, chasing after Mo Heng and delivering it to him.

Mo Heng returned with the tea leaves.

Shen Songming had not yet left.

Seeing his deep and cold gaze, Shen Songming snorted lightly. This was his private residence; he could stay as long as he liked!

"Let’s prepare to go home tomorrow," Mo Heng said to Pei Qin.

"Let’s wait another two days; there are still some matters to attend to." Since Pei Qin had already come, she took the opportunity to discuss the next steps with Shen Songming. And another thing, "Tomorrow, we should also pay a visit to the Shen family to express our thanks." Although Shen Bi provided an opening for others to exploit because he opposed Shen Songming marrying her, he did at least make a significant effort to save them this time.

Mo Heng looked at Shen Songming and agreed, "Alright."

When they returned to their room to rest, just after Pei Qin had finished washing up, he pulled her over to change her dressing, but instead of merely doing so, he pressed down on her and forcibly entered her.

"You... bastard..." Pei Qin gasped.

"Do not be alone with him! Do not talk too much with him!" Mo Heng panted low as he bit her ear.

"At what nonsense are you jealous... mmm..."

The next day, on the way to the Shen Mansion, Pei Qin was still somewhat drowsy and fatigued.

Shen Songming met them outside and, noticing that she did not look very energetic and after he cast a glance at the refreshed and spirited Mo Heng, he lowered his eyes and, after asking, led them inside.

Now Pei Qin also held a Third Rank Decree, and aside from Old Lady Shen and Madam Shen who held higher status, the other ladies of the Shen family were required to pay her respect. freeweɓnøvel.com

However, Pei Qin was not the least bit interested in warming relations with the female members of the Shen family, only in seeing Shen Songming’s mother in this lifetime.

Madam Shen was no longer young, a middle-aged woman who still maintained her charm.

But she had long harbored resentment towards Pei Qin, waiting for her to come and express her gratitude since her release from prison, wanting to see what kind of person had captivated her son to the point of his refusal to marry and settle down.

Expecting to see a vixen of at least some beauty, she was hugely disappointed when she met her. She was merely a woman with a refined appearance, having some presence at most. Her youngest son was so enchanted by her that he was determined to marry her, a girl from the countryside, and still refused to marry to this day. Even Mo Heng of the Mo family, known for his brilliant talents, was willing to marry her.

Old Lady Shen and Madam Shen also examined Pei Qin, trying to discover what was so exceptional about her that she had won Shen Songming’s deep affection.
