Chapter 334: Defend the Eight Front Teeth (8)_1
Old Scholar Fang came again.
Shen Song Ming looked at him, "What are you still doing here?" In his eyes, his courage was greater than an elephant’s. But when it came to courting Pei Qin, he genuinely lacked the guts! That man had lost eight front teeth, would he lose any less? There were no dental implants in ancient times.
Old Scholar Fang wanted him to take Pei Qin with him on a trip to Fu City, "... The Qian family can even navigate the Sir Magistrate’s connections in Runing Prefecture. If Young Master Shen were to go once, he could also avoid some unnecessary trouble."
Last time, Shen Song Ming hadn’t managed to make the trip on time. This time, with time to spare, he was ready to take a detour on his way back to meet Meng Dinglun. Taking Pei Qin with him was unnecessary; without her, he could play his role even better. So, he told Old Scholar Fang, "I will take care of this matter myself; there is no need for you to go through Meng Dinglun! Although he is the Magistrate of Runing Prefecture, he wouldn’t dare trouble Wu Dongsi too much!" Wu Dongsi was his uncle’s student, and he had already informed him. With his uncle’s backing, Wu Dongsi was eager to seize the opportunity to climb the ranks and would dare to challenge Meng Dinglun.
Hearing his tone, Old Scholar Fang frowned and sighed inwardly. Qinqin, so intelligent a girl, was she going to be ruined by him?
Shen Song Ming only used honorifics when talking business or when he had a certain agenda in mind.
Seeing that he had no intention of bringing Pei Qin, Old Scholar Fang also felt slightly relieved. It was better not to involve Qinqin, to avoid the Sir Magistrate thinking of her as something to Shen Song Ming. But this was not a solution. If Qinqin were to insist on her way, who knows if she might do something foolish like directly following Shen Song Ming. Perhaps he should return home and continue planning for the future.
