Chapter 613: Extravagant Confession (6)_1
Lady Yu and Grandma Fang came to the market to deliver some things to her. Seeing that she needed help, they also chipped in for a few days.
All the duck eggs that had been brought over were made into preserved eggs, just waiting for the right time to start eating them.
A few girls who came looking for Pei Qian always found her busy, so they came over in the evening, "Tomorrow is Qixi Festival, and we are planning to have seven of us making dumplings together. You won’t be busy tomorrow evening, will you?"
Now that Pei Qian had four maids to supervise, she was no longer as interested in winning them over, especially since servants not bound by a contract couldn’t be trusted as reliable. However, she had never taken part in making dumplings with others during Qixi Festival, so after some consideration, she reluctantly agreed to join.
She hadn’t paid much attention to it before, but after she arrived, she realized Sun Tingyu was there as well, which immediately made Pei Qian pull a face and made her unwilling to stay any longer.
Sun Tingyu’s eyes were rimmed with red, "My aunt has muddled through and done something wrong, and I apologize to you all, but I haven’t!"
Pei Qian looked at her and sneered, "You haven’t? If you knew, you’d soon have!" She had been about to discuss a marriage with Fang Liuming, but then they wanted to strengthen ties with her family. If she knew that Fang Liuming wanted to marry her, she would surely be so annoyed that she’d itch to harm someone, just like her aunt!
The other girls also felt a bit awkward, but Sun Tingyu had begged them, and they had always played together, so they all banded together.
Pei Qian, with not a shred of courtesy, took her chives and eggs and left, "You all make them yourselves!"
Two of the girls chased after her to persuade her, Sun Xiaomei pulling at her, "If you leave, we won’t be complete. Just this once, after we eat the dumplings, there won’t be much else to worry about. You don’t like her, so just ignore her!"
