Chapter 638: Propriety
After Mrs. Liu took Bai Dabao away, Pei Qinghan’s gaze fell on Bai Zhenzhu’s body. There was a deep disgust in his eyes. But in the end, he didn’t say anything, he simply turned and walked away quickly.
Bai Zhenzhu released a sigh of relief and took a glance at Pei Qinghan’s departing back. Her heart trembled in fear. This man was too gloomy.
In Fengyang Courtyard.
Pei Xiachen was lying on the bed and crying. Concubine Xiang kept persuading her, but she seemed to be deaf and couldn’t hear a word.
Concubine Xiang looked at her daughter. How could she not understand in her heart why her daughter crying like this? It’s not because of that young man, but rather because of Meng Nan. It’s because she didn’t promise to help her. She didn’t want her to continue getting involved in this matter. This road has no good future and nothing but endless sadness.
When Pei Qinghan entered the room and saw his daughter still crying, he felt bored.
“Houye, have you disciplined that young man? How can he have such courage?” Concubine Xiang asked.
Pei Qinghan looked at her and snorted coldly: “Who is that young man, don’t you know?” Is there anything in Houfu that she doesn’t know?
Concubine Xiang smiled: “I know a little, but I’m not sure. I’m afraid that I made a mistake.”
Pei Qinghan said: “I have seen that Bai Dabao. He is a coward. He came in here for the time and then molested the young lady. Can you believe that?”
Concubine Xiang’s expression became more and more embarrassed: “Well, why not? It’s not impossible for a young man like him to get interested when he saw a girl like Chen’er.”
Pei Qinghan didn’t respond to her, he swept his eyes to his daughter, and asked in a deep voice: “Chen’er, you said, did that Bai Dabao Bai molested you?”
Pei Xiachen stopped crying but continued lying on the bed motionless. She wondered, isn’t it just a wild young man from the mountain, why does her father need to interrogate her like this?
Seeing that Pei Xiachen didn’t want to answer him, Pei Qinghan asked the maidservant in the room: “Speak, if you speak even a single lie, I will break your leg.”
The maidservant was so scared that she knelt and said with a trembling voice: “Answering back Houye, that young man, when he met the lady in the garden, he didn’t seem to know what to do. He stood there and stared at the second miss without blinking. The Second Miss got angry and let people beat him.”
Pei Qinghan said angrily: “Just looking at you without blinking? Then if you go out the streets, and all the people in the capital look at you, should they also get arrested and be beaten by you?”
Seeing Pei Qinghan was very angry, Concubine Xiang hurriedly came forward and persuaded: “Houye, it was Chener’s first time to encounter such a thing. She didn’t know the severity of her action, you just—”
“She didn’t know the severity? If I came a little late, that person will die. Have you thought about the consequences?”
It’s not that Pei Qinghan asking justice for Bai Dabao. He was angry because this mother and daughter have no sense of propriety and didn’t think who Bai Dabao was. At this moment, can their family get in trouble?
Concubine Xiang had some realization. So she quickly came forward and brought herself to Pei Qinghan’s arm. She put her hand on his chest and softly said: “What Houye said is right. This concubine got confused for a moment.”
Seeing Concubine Xiang like this, Pei Qinghan’s anger finally dissipated. Naturally, his tone also eased a lot: “Remember, you’re not allowed to move the eldest miss and the Bai family without my permission. Do you understand?”
Concubine Xiang hurriedly nodded her head and responded: “I understand, I understand it both physically and mentally. Don’t worry, Houye!”
Pei Qinghan hummed, then took a glance at Pei Xiachen before turning around to leave.
