If that was the case, Zhao Junchao found himself in a dilemma. He wanted both fame and to marry Pei Qin. But now, fame was hard to obtain and Pei Qin was hard to marry.
Seeing that Shen Songming was of no use, the Zhao family wanted to find Pei Qin and break off the engagement. They estimated she was very unwilling to marry into their household as per Old Pei's arrangements and if she wanted to break off the engagement, she could help them navigate through Magistrate Wu, settle the matter with Zhao Yaocheng, and give Zhao Junchao a hand.
But the show was about to begin, and Pei Qin was in town waiting for the construction of the Pai Building to start, with the goods even being delivered by the people Shen Songming had sent.
"...Pai Building is a Pai Building, not a Chastity Arch. Chastity Arch doesn't have a roof, while Pai Building has a roof, it's more solemn and grand, and looks more imposing," Shen Songming explained when he heard Pei Qin again disdaining the 'Chastity Arch'.
