Pei Qian knew all about the matter, and immediately recounted in detail what had happened to Zhang Shiqian and how he met with retribution.
"Harming others and harming oneself! They are just malicious at heart, and now they've met with retribution!" Grandma Fang cursed after hearing the story.
"Those who spread rumors wildly outside should be too afraid to say more now!" Lady Yu sighed with relief.
The direction of the rumors had changed; they were now saying that Zhang Shiqian's attempt at revenge had backfired, and he had suffered divine punishment as a result.
Lady Chen and Lady Zhu from Old Pei's House were so annoyed with Zhang Shiqian, cursing him for his uselessness and continuing to spread the message "just you wait and see!" If Pei Qin gave birth prematurely, it would mean she had conceived before getting married! The stigma of promiscuity before marriage would be impossible to shake off.
