San Ya also held on to her arm, preventing her from retracting it, "Let them see that we’re doing even better since we left the old house. If they think of bullying us again, they should think twice!"
Si Ya pouted and reluctantly withdrew her hand.
Lady Fang was about to make dinner when she saw Pei Wenli and Lady Kong come in; she washed her hands and looked at them expressionlessly as they entered the house.
Pei Wenli, following Lady Kong’s earlier instructions, kept bowing and apologizing profusely, saying that he wasn’t at home and had no idea such a severe incident had occurred. It was all his mother’s confusion. After he heard about it, he specifically brought Lady Kong along so the couple could apologize.
Lady Kong also bowed deeply, her face full of remorse.
Lady Fang extended her hand, but seeing that Pei Qin remained silent, she retracted it.
With no one speaking up, the room was eerily quiet, making Lady Kong feel extremely awkward.
Pei Wenli looked up to see Pei Qin sitting with one leg crossed over the other at the table, eating pastries in an inelegant manner. There were neatly arranged boxes of assorted pastries on the table that looked more exquisite than those made in town. He bowed again towards Pei Qin, "Sister Daya! Big brother is here to apologize to you! I ask for your generous forgiveness, please!"
The split-pea cakes were quite tasty; Pei Qin took another piece, and after nearly swallowing it, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, "Finished apologizing?"
Pei Wenli and Lady Kong looked at her, puzzled.
