Just her standing at the doorway made Pei Yuan shiver; she guiltily lowered her head on instinct, not daring to meet her eyes.
Qingqing, on the other hand, opened her mouth as if to speak, then only shook her head and stayed silent.
"What's wrong, am I no longer worthy of talking to you now?"
Mrs. Pei looked at Qingqing. Qingqing's whole body stiffened and she immediately shook her head. "No, Aunt Pei, it's just that I don't know how to tell you."
"If there's something, just say it. Don't act like you've suffered some huge grievance in my house." Mrs. Pei frowned at Qingqing, a cold smile tugging at the corner of her lips. "If something really did happen, just say it. Whoever dares to run wild in my Pei Family, I absolutely won't let them off easy."
Qingqing was stunned.
Mrs. Pei was knocking her down a peg—she could see that. Mrs. Pei was protecting Qin Yun!
On what grounds?
How long has Qin Yun even been married into the Pei Family and they already shield her like this?
