Chapter 185 A Concubine is Better than a Mistress (3)_1
"Don’t believe me, pinky promise?" Pei Qin extended her hand.
"Alright!" Chang Yonglin reached out and pinky promised her, "We’ve pinky promised, you can’t go back on your word!"
Pei Qin hummed in agreement, gesturing for him to go back. He was of no use here, in fact, he was in the way!
Chang Yonglin was able to bring over silver because Landlord Chang had taught him to bestow kindness upon those beneath him, ensuring their absolute loyalty. Once the matter was settled, Chang Yonglin had nothing more to say and boarded his carriage home, shouting out before he left to let Pei Qin know she could count on him to have her back!
Such a statement left floating in the village changed the way everyone looked at the sisters Pei from then on. Those siblings from the Pei family really had luck on their side! Just because they taught the young master of the Chang’s house to skateboard, he had come all the way to support them upon hearing of the incident!
If the Qian family was wealthy, could they possibly be wealthier than Landlord Chang’s house? Even if they were, a powerful dragon can’t crush a local snake, could the Qian family really stand against Landlord Chang’s house? Moreover, there was an even greater Wang family that had yet to speak up, probably unaware of the news!
Grandma Miao pulled Pei Qin aside to inquire, "The young master even brought you into the house and wouldn’t let others near, he must have given you something, right? Did he give you silver? I’ve heard from the people in town that Landlord Chang’s house is the most generous, often performing good deeds!"
The crowd gathered around the village was also looking at Pei Qin, waiting for her to speak. It was the young master of the Chang family they were curious about, and Grandma Miao had asked the question on everyone’s mind.
Pei Qin did not respond to her, but looked deeply at the entrance of Old Pei’s House, then turned and said to Old Scholar Fang, "Let’s leave it at that! Otherwise, people might say we’re taking unfair advantage of our position. Being a concubine isn’t too bad!"
Knowing she wouldn’t return to Old Pei’s House or go back with them to the Fang family, Old Scholar Fang also felt that this would make the Pei family even more stifled, unable to hold their heads up high. And since Pei Qin was exceptionally astute, he simply nodded in agreement.
Fang Li was so eager to persuade Pei Qin and her siblings to go to the Fang family’s house that he nearly dragged her there, insisting they had to go, whether they wanted to or not!
