Pei Qian ate as usual, but her anger was just the same.
When evening came, without waiting for anyone to call for her, she'd head back home and return the next day.
Fang Liuming and Mu Xiu hadn't returned home since they were busy writing policy essays, and they could not focus as well at home. When they came over for a meal and didn't see Pei Qian, they heard she had gone for self-reflection on the Taiping Mountain, and it was already her third day, causing Fang Liuming to be taken aback slightly. While buying braised meat on the street, he saw Pei Qian returning and called out to her, "Cousin Qian! Your elder sister said you've been to Taiping Mountain for self-reflection for three days now!?"
Pei Qian gave him a cold, sideways glance without bothering to acknowledge him. His mother had only quietly given them a few copper coins; he ate and took things from their home but wasn't much of a help!
