Pei Qin, seeing the match had concluded, watched as Lady Chen's face broke into a smile so wide it was as if flowers had bloomed across her cheeks. Abandoning her corn cob, she was about to leave.
"You haven't finished picking the corn cobs, where are you going?" Lady Chen, having stashed away the silver, was just about to leave the house to head to the outhouse when she saw Pei Qin heading for the door and immediately yelled at her, "Thinking of going out to meet your lover? I'll tell you this, the Zhang family will never let you step through their door. You might as well kill that idea! I've wasted so much time and effort singing your praises, and only with great difficulty did Qian Dog agree to marry you, a cheap girl like you! Just you wait obediently!"
