Chapter 335: Defend the Eight Front Teeth (9)_1
Lady Zhu felt some urgency upon hearing this. That little wretch Pei Qin had already made a marriage arrangement with Zhao Junchao, but she still mixed with other men. If something happened and the Zhao family called off the marriage demanding compensation, it would be troublesome. It seemed necessary to warn that little wretch to be more decorous and not follow her depraved mother’s footsteps; otherwise, her family might end up having to clean up the mess and bear the shame.
Lady Chen reminded her in a low voice that they couldn’t slip up now, as it would cause a huge commotion. Moreover, Young Master Shen from the Magistrate’s family, who had a distinguished scholarly reputation, was still here and would definitely stand on the side of that little wretch.
Lady Zhu had no choice but to hold back.
However, Sun Xiujin could not. Shen Songming had been in town for several days without showing any sign of leaving, constantly cooing with Pei Qin day after day. She plucked a handful of fresh baby bok choy and, carrying a basket, came to find Pei Qin.
Pei Qin was helping Shen Songming with accounting, which she found most annoying. Luckily, there were only a few account books to review. She also wanted to see how these people fabricated their false accounts.
Shen Songming brought over pear juice and said, "Boss! Have a bowl of pear juice to moisten your throat first!"
Pei Qian looked at Sun Xiujin standing stiffly in the courtyard with a smile that was not quite a smile.
Sun Xiujin had never imagined that Young Master Shen, a Magistrate’s son, would stoop so low as to serve pear juice to Pei Qin with such attentiveness.
