Chapter 808 - 172: I Only Want to Marry You_3
Fang Fu sighed in relief as he stepped outside to make a request.
Shen Rou alighted from the carriage, looked at the modest courtyard, and followed Fang Fu inside. Because Pei Qin had a Third Rank enjoinment and was also Fang Liuming’s cousin, she was highly regarded by him. Therefore, Shen Rou dressed up thoughtfully and elegantly with a soft gracefulness that morning.
She had never met Pei Qin or Mo Heng, having only heard of them. Upon seeing them now, she was somewhat startled. Young Master Mojiu indeed lived up to his reputation, and Pei Qin had caught his favorable attention, not to mention that Brother Songming thought of her often—it was no small matter. Taking slow steps forward, she greeted, "I’ve seen Madam Yuanyang, Sir Inspector!"
"You are excused," Pei Qin called out, offering a seat.
Shen Rou glanced at Fang Liuming, who was visibly uncomfortable, then saw Pei Qin sizing her up and couldn’t help but bow her head slightly, her cheeks flushing, "I have disturbed you, madam."
"Yes," Pei Qin responded. Indeed, it was disturbing.
Shen Rou blinked.
Fang Fu, sympathetically glancing at Fang Liuming, knew Qinqin always spoke bluntly, and Qianqian was even more aggressive. If Shen Rou couldn’t handle it and ended up turning to their family, it would be disastrous. He quickly smoothed things over, suggesting that Shen Rou settle in first, then asked Pei Qin, "You’re not shipping goods before the year ends, are you?" If they were still shipping goods, it would be best to send Shen Rou back to Capital Jingcheng. Otherwise, if the Shen family let slip a single word, and with Dalang having ruined Shen Rou’s reputation, they would have to take responsibility.
"Ship the goods!" Pei Qian coldly interjected.
Fang Fu’s eyes sparkled.
