Pei Qin was to return to the Pei family first, and after recognizing Pei Zongli, Qian Wanxiu, as a Scholar, would perform the rites of a continuing wife and acknowledge her step-daughter.
This matter seemed easy to handle, but when it came to Pei Qin, it was not so simple. After all, Pei Qin had previously mentioned promoting a concubine to the principal wife.
However, Old Pei thought it was negotiable, and it was also a good opportunity to test Pei Qin – whether she really wanted to return to the Pei family or was just playing them again. Promoting a concubine to principal wife was too humiliating for Qian Wanxiu!
Such a demand had been made, and without needing Pei Qin to speak, Old Scholar Fang directly suppressed it with a sentence, "Even though the Pei family has produced a few literates and a rich family, you don't even understand the basic rites and rules!?"
