After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 239 Pei Wanjin

The resentment Song Lan harbored towards Liu Tian sent her the latest news.

Knowing that Liu Tian had been arrested, and that the Zhang family members had also been detained, they realized that Liu Tian had been arrested and that the Zhang family members had also been taken into custody.

I'm feeling a little happy.

Even the tone of her voice when she urged Yan Jun to go back revealed a hint of excitement.

Yan Jun: ...

He deliberately lifted the blanket, revealing his thin, half-covered skin, and raised an eyebrow: "Use and then throw away?"

What seemed like a provocation actually carried a hint of grievance upon closer listening.

What does Yan Jun look like? How could Song Lan not have seen him before?

I've long since stopped falling for that trick.

"Yes!"

Song Lan snorted: "You've used them all up, why aren't you throwing them away? Do you expect me to clean them up and keep them for later use?"

"Or……"

She asked softly, "You've recovered your strength, so you can use it now?"

Yan Jun blushed instantly when he thought of that scene.

He no longer had the courage to continue flirting with Song Lan, and in a panic, he jumped off the bed and fled in a disheveled state.

Pshaw! Coward!
Song Lan watched the man's disheveled departure and sneered twice.

Pei Yuanshi locked himself in his room for many days and finally figured something out.

Miss Song had absolutely no interest in him.

They agreed to let his master use him as collateral to exchange for so much wealth to repair the Changsheng Temple.

It's simply because—Miss Song is a good person.

Doing good deeds.

That's why, even after so many days, Miss Song never mentioned it, except for that contract that he cared about most.

"Miss Song!"

The next morning, Pei Yuanshi was already waiting in Song Lan's courtyard sometime earlier than expected.

When Song Lan got up to call someone in to fetch water for her to wash up, she saw Pei Yuanshi standing there, covered in frost and dew. Upon seeing her, he wagged his tail excitedly, like a puppy seeing meat.

Song Lan frowned slightly.

This idiot seems like a completely different person.

"Does Master Pei need something from me?"

She stood on the steps, her face indifferent, as if keeping everyone at arm's length.

"I have come to apologize for misunderstanding Miss Song earlier and for saying many hurtful things about her."

As he spoke, Pei Yuanshi bowed deeply to the person in a very solemn and proper manner.

Song Lan stood there and accepted the insult without changing his expression.

After everyone had finished their greetings, he said indifferently, "I understand."

I knew, but I didn't say I forgave.

A faint bitterness spread through Pei Yuanshi's heart, but he knew he was in the wrong and dared not have any expectations.

He took out the "contract of servitude" that the old Taoist had given him and nervously explained his second purpose in a low voice: "I didn't take out this contract before because I had some petty thoughts and misjudged Miss Song's noble intentions."

"I was both looking forward to following Miss Song and feeling apprehensive and unwilling... So I thought I would pretend to be nonchalant for the time being and see if Miss Song would get anxious. After all, I am worth a fortune."

He implied that he was someone Song Lan had acquired in exchange for a large dowry.

Song Lan looked at him indifferently.

Pei Yuanshi felt even more bitter and gave a self-deprecating laugh: "...Now I finally realize my own worth and understand that in Miss Song's eyes, I am completely dispensable."

"Miss Song donated her dowry to Changsheng Temple free of charge for its renovation, which shows her kind heart."

"It has absolutely nothing to do with me."

He's just a bystander! He probably didn't even specifically ask for it from Miss Song.

It was his master who forced him to be given to Miss Song.

Miss Song felt embarrassed to refuse.

His master was also eloquent, and he embellished his own banditry too much.
