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

Chapter 241 Bickering
Song Lan's casual remark, "Master Pei is overthinking things," effectively shut down Pei Yuanshi's desire to learn.

She spotted Liu Wu approaching from afar and said with a smile, "I won't keep Daoist Pei here for breakfast."

The unspoken message: You should leave.

Pei Yuanshi also spotted Liu Wu coming this way.

He felt a pang of injustice: "Liu Wu can have breakfast with Miss Song, which makes me feel like an outsider."

"So be it! I was never worthy of it anyway," Pei Yuanshi said, as if possessed.

Song Lan's lips twitched slightly.

"If you want to stay like him, that's fine too."

Pei Yuanshi immediately became visibly happy, completely unaware of the pit he had dug for himself.

"Lady Ghost!"

Liu Wu walked over and politely greeted Song Lan, behaving exactly like a member of a large family who regularly pays respects to each other morning and evening.

It is also a gesture of respect to elders.

Song Lan gave a faint "hmm".

Liu Wu was somewhat surprised to see Pei Yuanshi.

"Brother Pei, why are you here so early, visiting the female ghost?"

When he looked at Pei Yuanshi, he couldn't help but feel a bit more wary.

Pei Yuanshi's composure was tinged with a hint of boastfulness: "I've come to apologize to Miss Song. She invited me to have breakfast with her."

Liu Wu blinked: "To plead guilty with a bundle of thorns on one's back? To apologize?"

Pei Yuanshi nodded: "Exactly."

"Where's Jing?" Liu Wu searched the entire courtyard, then looked around Pei Yuanshi's house, both in front and behind him. "Where's Li?"

Pei Yuanshi was immediately stumped by the question.

"Jing..."

He stammered for a moment, and Liu Wu immediately ran to Song Lan and said, "My lady ghost! You absolutely cannot forgive him for such a half-hearted apology!"

"It's obvious he's only being so perfunctory because he sees you as good-natured and kind-hearted, and doesn't want to really argue with him. He just wants to get rid of you with a few words!" Pei Yuanshi: ...

"I didn't!" he said, his voice trembling with urgency.

"Lady Ghost, look! Look! He's panicking! He's panicking!"

Liu Wu's expression was exaggerated: "This is clearly because he's guilty! Lady Ghost, you absolutely must not believe his nonsense."

Pei Yuanshi: ...

He was wronged!

Song Lan looked at him, seemingly pondering whether Liu Wu's words made sense.

"Miss Song!"

Pei Yuanshi said somewhat anxiously, "I tossed and turned all night, thinking for a long time. I feel really ashamed. I can't rest easy until I apologize to you in person."

"That's why I came in a hurry and didn't think much about it. I forgot to prepare a handy tool for you to take your anger out on."

He almost raised his hand to swear, "But believe me!"

"I have come here with the utmost sincerity to apologize to you. As for carrying thorns to plead guilty... I... I will have someone find the thickest thorns for you right away!"

Hearing him say that, Liu Wu chuckled again and interrupted, "You're not even willing to go find brambles yourself, which shows you're just being perfunctory."

Pei Yuanshi: ...

No? He didn't do anything to offend Liu Wu, did he?

"Then, I..."

He was about to say, "Then I'll go find it myself."

Song Lan suddenly spoke up, ending the pointless bickering between the two.

"hungry."

She turned and went to the main room, where she washed her hands twice with the help of two young men.

They sat in the main seat, quietly waiting for the meal to be served.

Liu Wu immediately backed down and slunk into the main room, standing obediently to the side.
