Chapter 864: Chapter 862: The Transmigrated Woman Bound to the Good Pregnancy System 6
Ah Chen looked at the flustered and helpless Cui Ying, went over and took her hand: "Mother, I have a plan, don’t worry about it, leave it to me. I know she’s not well-intentioned, you’ll see later, if they’re really not a good family, I’ll fight them. There’s no way out anyway, we’ll all die together, let’s see if grandmother fears jeopardizing uncle’s and cousin’s futures."
Cui Ying was shocked, and then the tears couldn’t help but fall: "It’s the mother that’s useless."
"How could this be blamed on mother?" Ah Chen sighed, how could this be blamed on Cui Ying, someone whose fate she couldn’t even control?
Cui Ying didn’t exploit her daughter like others did, nor did she urge her daughter to accept fate, which was already quite good.
It’s just that due to limitations of the time, despite many things Cui Ying may internally not wish for, she wasn’t able to change them.
The original wish of the commissioner was to take down that Good Pregnancy System and for revenge, because the resentment was too great, she couldn’t care about anything else.
After Ah Chen crossed over and met Cui Ying, she gently asked her if she could take more care of Cui Ying.
It was something easy to do; even if the other party hadn’t mentioned it, Ah Chen would still take care of Cui Ying somewhat.
After soothing Cui Ying, Ah Chen closed the door, walked to the bed, and said softly: "Mr. Pei, it’s all right."
Pei Hui was already somewhat unable to hold it in, the dust under the bed really wanted to make him cough, but now there were people outside, he could only endure, it was unbearably difficult.
Looking at Pei Hui covered in dust, Ah Chen was in particularly high spirits.
"Is Miss Qin encountering trouble? Once I’m healed, and have found my subordinates, I will definitely help you solve it."
Ah Chen shook her head: "Thank you, I should be able to resolve it."
Pei Hui didn’t doubt it; after all, in the previous life, Qin Chen married someone like Ji Qing, unparalleled in looks, extraordinarily talented; that Old Mrs. Qin would definitely not be so kind as to choose someone like Ji Qing for her, nor could Ji Qing offer a dowry of a hundred taels.
That’s definite.
Ji Qing took a fancy to the commissioner because the commissioner started to showcase her abilities, different from girls Ji Qing had seen before, that’s why he was attracted.
Now Ah Chen does not intend to follow the commissioner’s path, and won’t meet Ji Qing as before.
They have already resolved their grudges, this isn’t something important.
About an hour later, someone came outside.
Qin Shanlin and Qin Shanyan, the two brothers, had gone out to work, Cui Ying wasn’t at ease, so she didn’t go to the fields, drawing a good scolding from Liu Hehua.
Qin Shan however laughed gleefully, hearing someone was coming, she nudged in front of Ah Chen saying teasingly: "Is someone coming to arrange the marriage for Sister Chen? Grandmother says it’s a good family. I’m so envious of Sister Chen; later she’ll be able to enjoy life."
"Seeing how envious you are, why don’t I give this marriage arrangement to you?" Ah Chen smiled, "No need to be polite; we’re sisters after all, sharing good things is the right thing to do."
This scared Qin Shan, she quickly shook her head: "No, as the younger sister, how can I snatch away sister’s things."
"If sister voluntarily gives it to you, how could it be snatching?" Ah Chen maintained a smile, Qin Shan grew somewhat afraid, quickly picked up her basket and ran off.
"Grandmother, I’m going to work."
Watching Qin Shan run off into the distance, Ah Chen didn’t call her back.
Although Qin Shan was quite unpleasant, the most unpleasant were still those in charge of the Qin family.
At the door came two people, leading was a woman dressed as a matchmaker, behind followed a middle-aged man, thin in stature, with somewhat sly features.
Their gaze fell on Ah Chen, revealing a degree of surprise and satisfaction.
This body wasn’t actually well maintained, but with the binding of the Good Pregnancy System, has seen some improvement, and now with Ah Chen’s soul, even if not so attractive, a certain degree of aura was not something ordinary people could match.
"Steward Chen, do you find her satisfactory?" the matchmaker asked ingratiatingly.
Liu Hehua quickly invited the two in, not forgetting to glare at Ah Chen, seemingly reminding her to behave.
Steward Chen nodded with satisfaction: "This girl is indeed excellent, with this appearance, she is quite suitable to become the wife of our landlord."
The matchmaker continued to smile, only her eyes looking at Ah Chen held a touch of pity.
Being the lady of a landlord is grand, but must be with the fate to enjoy it; it is said this is already the eighteenth time the landlord is marrying, each wife hasn’t lived long.
Upon seeing Steward Chen, Ah Chen knew the other party’s background.
As for this Landlord Chen, the first cycle already clashed with the commissioner, naturally not getting a good end, eventually getting his comeuppance.
"Old Mrs. Liu, the marriage is settled then, within our Landlord Mansion we’ll provide a dowry of a hundred and twenty taels, do you think it’s feasible?" Steward Chen asked.
With Qin Chen’s looks, the landlord surely would like her, he couldn’t miss out on benefits either. Apart from the landlord’s liking, he himself also found her appealing. Wondering about something, his gaze at Ah Chen grew increasingly bold.
Liu Hehua was just about to agree when she felt a chill on her neck, looking down she found a kitchen knife, shocking her into trembling.
"Grandmother, if you agree, I’ll spill blood with you here; if you won’t let me live, you shouldn’t think about living either. Consider well, would an incident like this affect uncle’s and cousin’s futures?" Ah Chen’s sinister voice rang out, like a demon from hell.
Without waiting for Liu Hehua to speak, Ah Chen looked at Steward Chen: "Steward Chen, I’m a bad-tempered, reckless person, is it certain to marry someone like me back that your boss can sleep soundly at night? If you don’t want to see your boss dead, quickly dismiss this thought. Anyway, in this world, I have nothing to care about anymore; if I can’t live, taking a couple down with me isn’t a loss."
Liu Hehua trembled in fear: "You wicked girl, what are you doing, quickly put down the knife."
Cui Ying shrank in the corner, still silent, but upon closer inspection, a trace of pleasure could be seen flashing through her eyes, though when her gaze fell on Ah Chen, there was inevitably a bit more worry.
Ah Chen not only didn’t release her grip, she applied some pressure, the slight pain frightened Liu Hehua so much she nearly lost control.
Seeing Liu Hehua’s neck show traces of blood, Steward Chen dared not really insist anymore.
Despite having many means, Qin Chen feared nothing, truly letting her get close to the landlord, if problems arose it would be troublesome.
There were plenty of pretty girls beyond Qin Chen, best let it go.
Watching Steward Chen and the matchmaker leave, Liu Hehua’s heart ached.
But Ah Chen still didn’t let go: "Grandmother, what are you thinking? If you still have this thought, why don’t we all die together today."
"I’m no longer concerned about you, is that okay?" Liu Hehua shouted, her voice tinged with desperation.
Only then did Ah Chen let go of the knife: "Keep your word, if you dare to renege, I’ll go find uncle and cousin to fight to the death."
"Cui Ying, see what a good daughter you’ve raised?" Liu Hehua’s face still held terror, but she dared not target Ah Chen any longer, only venting at Cui Ying.
Cui Ying shrank back: "Mother, I can’t control her either."
"Useless thing!"
Ah Chen returned to the room, securing the door behind her.
Seeing Pei Hui staring at her, she said: "Let Mr. Pei see a joke today, I’m afraid I can’t go into town. Landlord Chen is not to be trifled with, I’m somewhat worried that if I go into town, there may be accidents. Don’t be fooled by my fearless appearance, in reality, if they use some tactics, I’m truly helpless."
"I hadn’t thought Miss Qin would encounter such things."
"Don’t worry, Landlord Chen is not a big deal, once I’m healed I’ll help you deal with it."
"Thank you, Mr. Pei, but today, you might go hungry; with grandmother watching, I can’t bring food into the room." Ah Chen apologized.
Pei Hui: ...
Didn’t know what to say.
Forget it, contact his subordinates at midnight, have them remember to deliver food daily.
Of course, Ah Chen knew not to really let Pei Hui starve, hungry for one meal is one meal, consider it an appetizer.
In the dead of night, Pei Hui quietly came to the window, sent out a signal, soon his men came.
Ah Chen didn’t obstruct him, she was waiting for Pei Hui to take care of that nuisance, Landlord Chen. Such a good blade, not using it would be wasteful.
Pei Hui’s men first left, then returned with food.
As a prince, it was the first time Pei Hui stealthily ate at night; it was already past midnight, he was ravenous, eating rather voraciously.
"Does Mr. Pei think there might be mice in the room?" Ah Chen’s voice suddenly arose.
Pei Hui knew it was bad; the sleep technique might have failed.
He immediately stopped chewing, daring not to make any moves, pretending to be asleep.
Afraid Ah Chen would realize something was off, he dared not chew anymore, only swallowing.
Detecting the other’s frustration, Ah Chen peacefully slept.
Early morning, she heard Pei Hui belching.
