Bab 28: Chapter 28 The House Collapsed (2)_1

Old Pei looked at the collapsed firewood shed, feeling a sense of not being able to contain Pei Qin, yet he couldn't fathom her intentions.

Si Ya quickly said, "Grandpa! Eldest sister said she doesn't fancy Dalang anymore, so she won't elope! I've been watching her these past few days!"

Old Pei looked at his especially clever and obedient granddaughter who knew how to please and took to heart her proposal.

Lady Fang let out a sigh of relief and hurried to the front yard, "I'll go cook!" She called San Ya to fire up the stove or to sweep the ground in the courtyard.

Pei Qin, after washing her face and seeing that they had reached an agreement, took a broom to sweep the ground in the courtyard.

Lady Chen kept a watchful eye on Pei Qin.

When the breakfast was ready, Pei Qin didn't say a word. Just like the day before, she took a few extra nests to eat in the kitchen.

Lady Zhu's face turned dark and sour.
