Chapter 729: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 729: Getting Married
After all, even Meng Pei himself was confused about the situation. Although he trusted his friend, he was cautious when it came to Song Xin, fearing that he might unintentionally harm her by making assumptions.
It wasn't until he saw that Song Xin hadn't regained consciousness and noticed her injuries that he secretly sought a doctor's help.
That's when he learned that Song Xin was pregnant.
Meng Pei felt numb all over. Song Xin was actually married!! It pained him greatly, but when he thought about it, she was already seventeen years old, so getting married wasn't unexpected.
Despite feeling uncomfortable, Meng Pei did his best to take care of her.
When Song Xin woke up, he asked for her home address, intending to send her back.
But Song Xin couldn't dare to return. Whether it was to her family's home or that small courtyard, it was no different from walking to her death.
She refused to leave and even feared the soldiers who were conducting a comprehensive search for the assassins from the Liu residence. At one point, she showed signs of a miscarriage.
Meng Pei was worried about her safety but didn't ask too many questions. He continued to take care of her.
Originally, they were supposed to rest in the city for two days and then return to the caravan, but it was evident that the situation didn't suit Song Xin. Moreover, she had no household registration, and the city's scrutiny was strict. If they were to set off, they might be caught.
So Meng Pei let the others from the caravan return first while he stayed behind.
He ended up staying for half a month.
The chaos caused by the assassins in the capital city settled down. Meng Pei gradually learned about some of Song Xin's experiences. He harbored a deep hatred for the person who had mistreated her but had no idea of their identity.
Considering that Song Xin had escaped from the Liu residence, he speculated that the person might have been the lustful man from the Liu household. Unfortunately, that person had died in the assassination that day, which saved him.
Now the priority was to help Song Xin leave the capital city.
Having traveled extensively over the years, Meng Pei had built up a considerable network of contacts. Being reliable and trustworthy, he thought he could arrange for a false household registration. Recently, there had been a disaster in a certain place, and many refugees had lost their household registrations and needed to reapply for them.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Meng Pei left the city and hurried to the town affected by the disaster. He arranged a new identity for Song Xin and then took her away from the capital city.
They had escaped danger, and Song Xin felt a sense of relief.
But there was still one issue to address—the child in her womb...
Meng Pei couldn't bear to leave her alone to find a place to live and give birth and raise the child. What if they encountered more danger? He couldn't reach her in time.
Moreover, Meng Pei had hidden intentions in his heart.
After a long conversation with Song Xin, he proposed to her.
Once they returned home, they immediately prepared for their marriage.
Meng Pei's parents had passed away, with his uncle having died three years ago, and he had just completed his mourning period four months ago.
His uncles and relatives had already begun looking for suitable young women for him, but he unexpectedly brought back Song Xin. Before his uncles could express their opinions, Meng Pei had already sent people to buy the necessary items for the marriage.
His uncles wanted to advise him, but they couldn't resist the fact that Meng Pei was already the head of the caravan. Over the years, he had developed a decisive personality, and within the caravan, he held a unique position.
Moreover, Meng Pei had already mentioned that in another half month, he would be heading south to transport a batch of goods. It would take three to five months before he returned. If they didn't get married now, they would have to wait for at least another half year.
He didn't want to complicate matters.
Seeing Song Xin's slender yet beautiful appearance, his uncles thought there was some merit to Meng Pei's decision.
