Old Scholar Fang, however, felt there was something unbelievable about what he said. To have met by chance, and just because of a skateboard, to have made a handcart and such, he considered Pei Qin a sister? Others might believe it, but Old Scholar Fang did not.
Shen Songming himself didn't believe it either!
Thinking of the Jade Hairpin intended for Pei Qin's coming-of-age ceremony and the exquisite clock and musical box displayed in the room, Shen Songming reflected that not even in wealthy families had he heard of such things. Old Scholar Fang, worried that Shen Songming was toying with Pei Qin, proposed, "In that case, later we'll have Qinqin return the Jade Hairpin and those two valuable items to Young Master Shen!" He directly pointed out the Jade Hairpin, leaving Shen Songming with no room to hide.
