San Ya also held on to her arm, preventing her from retracting it, "Let them see that we're doing even better since we left the old house. If they think of bullying us again, they should think twice!"
Si Ya pouted and reluctantly withdrew her hand.
Lady Fang was about to make dinner when she saw Pei Wenli and Lady Kong come in; she washed her hands and looked at them expressionlessly as they entered the house.
Pei Wenli, following Lady Kong's earlier instructions, kept bowing and apologizing profusely, saying that he wasn't at home and had no idea such a severe incident had occurred. It was all his mother's confusion. After he heard about it, he specifically brought Lady Kong along so the couple could apologize.
Lady Kong also bowed deeply, her face full of remorse.
Lady Fang extended her hand, but seeing that Pei Qin remained silent, she retracted it.
With no one speaking up, the room was eerily quiet, making Lady Kong feel extremely awkward.
