Chapter 309: What the Heck is Dark Cuisine (1)_1
Pei Qian had been waiting by the side the whole time, disliking her aunt Fang Hui, whom she found to be full of schemes and harboring ill intentions. She also disliked the idea of her aunt fixing her elder sister’s hair.
Watching her twist Pei Qin’s hair and then trying to adorn it with a silver hairpin, she grabbed her hand, pulled it away, and without any courtesy inserted the jade hairpin she had been holding into Pei Qin’s hair, saying, "The jade hairpin was already prepared for my elder sister, why would you even consider using a silver one!"
Fang Hui saw the silver Bu Yao almost secured in Pei Qin’s hair when, unexpectedly, Pei Qian rushed forward, pulled it away, and caused disruption; the silver Bu Yao, not held securely, also fell to the ground, making Fang Hui’s face turn ugly in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, the silver Bu Yao on Pei Qin’s head was replaced with the jade hairpin.
Grandma Fang and Lady Yu watched from the side, both feeling that Pei Qian was lacking in manners. Even if she was usually sharp-tongued, it wasn’t appropriate for her to interrupt at such a time.
It wasn’t good for Fang Hui to publicly scold her niece Pei Qian, but her actions were indeed unreasonable. She opened her mouth and said, "Qianqian! You cannot disrupt the rituals of coming-of-age!"
Pei Qian was unafraid, but since it was her elder sister’s coming-of-age day, she didn’t want to talk back and spoil the mood, so she chuckled, "I already said before that the hairpin for my elder sister’s coming-of-age was prepared in advance, it’s only natural to put it on her!" That broken silver hairpin couldn’t compare to the jade hairpin! And besides, the jade hairpin was a gift from Shen Songming to my elder sister.
Fang Hui’s face darkened, and she quickly bent down to pick up the silver Bu Yao, "Is Qianqian despising the hairpin your aunt gave because it’s made of silver and is not to your liking!?"
Grandma Fang slightly frowned, looking at the jade hairpin on Pei Qin’s head. The whole hairpin was made of jade, its color luminous and translucent, carved with fish playing among lotus flowers, looking extraordinary at a glance.
