Pei Qian’s face grew tense with displeasure, "Aside from those lowlifes saying I have no manners..."
Pei Qin interrupted her, "No matter who’s right or wrong, if there’s a mistake, you can point it out tactfully, but speaking harshly to your elders will only confirm the belief that you lack manners, even if they don’t say it outright, they’ll think it!"
Pei Qian’s face turned pale as she looked at her with a stern expression and cold eyes, biting her lip without a word.
"Do you believe, if you stood beside Bai Jinyan, people would only berate you?" Pei Qin said gravely, her voice rising.
Mentioning Bai Jinyan made Pei Qian’s face even more unsightly.
"This is not good. Even if you do better, you won’t earn any favor! Go hand-copy ’The Book of Rites’ for me!" Pei Qin commanded with a calm demeanor.
This time, Pei Qian obediently started hand-copying "The Book of Rites," without the previous defiance. She would not let anyone pick at her manners again, especially not be outdone by Bai Jinyan!
