Chapter 150: Chapter 150

With the surname Pei, could it be...

Shen Qinglan glanced over at County Magistrate Pei, her expression unchanged. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N0veI.Fiɾe.net

"Who is so blind as to dare hit the County Magistrate’s daughter?"

Liu Chun suddenly glared at Shen Qinglan, and upon seeing her face clearly, he froze slightly.

She looks quite good, but unfortunately, she has offended Pei Lian.

He straightened his tone and coldly said, "Was it you who hit Miss Pei?"

Shen Qinglan ignored him and headed back.

On this side, upon hearing that the girl was the County Magistrate’s daughter, the Lu Clan members were all shocked speechless.

Shen Qinghe’s face turned somewhat pale.

Civilians have never prevailed over officials; if the County Magistrate were to hold it against them later...

"Don’t be afraid," Shen Qinglan said, "I’m here, everything will be alright."

"What a bold wild girl."

Feeling disregarded, Liu Chun was very displeased, and he had the few people he brought encircle Shen Qinglan and the others.

On the other side, Pei Lian, supported by two maidservants, was crying as she went to find County Magistrate Pei.

County Magistrate Pei, while discussing matters with a few people, frowned seeing his daughter seemingly wronged.

"Master," a maid said angrily, "a few shrewish wives pushed Miss Pei, and not only that but almost broke her hand!"

Hearing this, County Magistrate Pei’s expression instantly turned cold. "Who dares to be so bold, bullying my daughter?"

"It’s them!" The maid pointed towards the location of Shen Qinglan and the others.

Just as a few of them looked over, they saw Liu Chun and others encircling Shen Qinglan being kicked away.

Shen Qinglan’s slightly cold face was instantly revealed to them.

County Magistrate Pei was shocked.

Le Zhao stood up and clapped his hands, saying, "What swift skills!"

The maid was also startled, but upon receiving a signal from Pei Lian, she quickly collected herself and shouted angrily, "Master, it was that girl who pushed Miss Pei and nearly broke her hand!"

"Nonsense!" County Magistrate Pei coldly rebuked the maid servant, "How could Miss Shen casually push people? Did you do something to her first?"

County Magistrate Pei glanced secretly at the calm and composed Duan Yunfei, feeling anxious inside.

"Master, it really was her..."

County Magistrate Pei interrupted the maid coldly, "Hurry and take your young lady back home!"

"Father~" Pei Lian was displeased. "She hit me and Mr. Liu, and has such an arrogant attitude, won’t you seek justice for us?"

"Shut up!" County Magistrate Pei was so distressed he was about to cry.

Beside him, Liu’s steward was also uneasy; though he didn’t know Shen Qinglan and Duan Yunfei’s relationship, he was aware Shen Qinglan was the accountant of Shengxiang Restaurant.

People of Yongning Manor fiercely protect their own, and for his own son to offend someone from there... isn’t that courting disaster?

Meanwhile, Liu Chun was so furious after being beaten that his heart, liver, and lungs hurt, yet he dared not provoke Shen Qinglan again.

Upon receiving an angry look from his father, he immediately fled alone, ignoring everyone else.

Le Zhao was about to exit the pavilion when Duan Yunfei quickly grabbed him.

Le Zhao was startled, "What are you doing? Miss Shen is over there, aren’t you going to greet her?"

He glanced over again and realized that somehow, a crowd had already gathered around Shen Qinglan, understanding Duan Yunfei’s intention in an instant.

With a light laugh, he sat back in his original seat and teased, "Really not going over to say hello?"

Duan Yunfei shook his head, "It’s not the time yet."

He said this, then looked with a half-smiling gaze at the still sobbing Pei Lian.
