Yin Zheng pondered for a moment, "Are you worried about the girl being enchanted by Lord Pei, Shopkeeper Du, is that why you're reacting this way? Are you enamored with our girl and feeling jealous?"
"Cough cough cough—"
Du Changqing nearly choked on a melon seed husk, and only after some struggle managed to spit it out, he retorted angrily, "How could that be possible?"
"Then why do you get so upset every time Lord Pei is mentioned?"
"If we don't stop him, and he sweet-talks Doctor Lu into the Pei Family's mansion?" Du Changqing said irritably, "Once a woman marries, she loses her freedom. Especially in a bureaucratic household like theirs."
