61: Chapter 61: Clever Tongue 61: Chapter 61: Clever Tongue “You’re so young, how co you have no strength in your hands, luckily you didn’t hit anyone.”
Yang Peiyan picked up the basin, glanced at them disdainfully, “Fine, since it didn’t hit anyone, I won’t talk to you anymore, I have other things to do.
Unlike so people that just whine without having their stomachs filled, not afraid of the wind snapping their tongues.” With that, she slamd the courtyard door shut with a bang.
“What’s with that girl?
What on earth was she talking about, no manners at all.”
“Hey, open up, I want to ask her what she ant by that!”
“Let it go, her mom is from the city after all, and her dad works in town, they would never care about us country folks.”
“Tch, no wonder her sister did that shaful act of framing her own cousin, they truly are all the sa, cut from the sa cloth.”
Behind the door, Yang Peiyan shook with fury, stomping into Yang Peiqiong’s room.
She yelled at Yang Peiqiong, who was sitting on the kang sewing shoe soles, “Sister, why did you have to do those things?
Now everyone is talking about you, do you have any idea how embarrassing this is?”
Yang Peiqiong’s hand, holding the needle, trembled, almost pricking her finger.
She frowned, “Yanzi, how many tis have I told you to calm down?
When will you learn to be steady?”
“I told you already, I took the bla for Minmin.
That watch was Xu Min forcing a ssage for Minmin on , stuffing it into my hand even though I didn’t want it.
He later explained it was hush money.
After all, Minmin still had connections with the Shen family.
Until their relationship was completely cut off, we couldn’t leak the fact that he was seeing Minmin, so I took it.”
“Xu Min had been secretly dating Minmin.
Recently, they had a falling out and stopped seeing each other, but Xu Min always wanted to nd their relationship, begging earnestly.
I saw that Minmin still had feelings for Xu Min.
For so reasons, she was just being stubborn.
By the ti she ca to her senses, her aunt and the others were already rushing to have her matchmade with the Shens.”
“I helped them because I couldn’t bear to watch, but I never expected…” Yang Peiqiong bit her lip, turned her head away, and wiped her eyes, her voice filled with bitterness, “I never expected Minmin to treat like this.”
Yang Peiyan was stunned.
Previously, Yang Peiqiong had always told her family that she took the bla for Yang Peimin; she had been sowhat skeptical because she had seen her sister et Xu Min several tis.
But it was all for that shaless Yang Peimin!
She had never felt such rage before.
She grabbed Yang Peiqiong’s hand, “Co on, let’s go settle the score with that bitch Yang Peimin!
She shalessly pushed it onto you, her heart is too poisonous.
Let her tell the truth herself, we can’t let her marry into the Shen family with such glory.”
Yang Peiqiong grabbed Yang Peiyan, shook her head and sighed, “It’s useless, Yanzi, even if she spoke up, it would be pointless.
The situation is already set.
The watch is on my wrist not Minmin’s, who would believe us?”
“That, that ans we’re just letting that bitch off easy?” Yang Peiyan stomped her foot several tis, still unable to quell the rage in her heart, she also kicked over a chair nearby, “No, we can’t just let her off cheaply.
Even if we can’t make her admit it, we must teach her a lesson!”
A glint flashed in Yang Peiqiong’s eyes.
“Even though we’re all sisters, let it go, Yanzi,” Peiyan sighed.
“Xu Min seems to be a talented man.
If I try harder, maybe he’ll take a few more glances at .
When I think about it, it’s not bad; once I go there to study, he’ll be there to look after , right?”
“Perhaps it’s fate,” she continued.
“Minmin is now betrothed to the Shen family.
I hope she seizes this opportunity well and stops causing trouble.
If the Shen family finds out about her past fling with Xu Min, her perfect marriage would dissolve.”
“But why should you quietly endure the criticism?” Peiyan retorted bitterly.
“Why should Yang Peimin, who caused so much harm, still be able to marry joyfully and innocently?
I wish her marriage would fall apart imdiately, turning her into the laughingstock of the entire village!” Peiyan said resentfully.
Yang Peimin felt so smug, huh?
At the dinner table discussing Xi Luo, a flunked failure still marrying a soldier?
She would make sure it wouldn’t happen!
“These past few days, Yanzi, you better not go out,” Peiqiong advised.
“Stay ho, read more books, and do so coursework.
Xu Min has quite a complete set of textbooks—I’ll ask him to bring them for you to use.
Thinking back, Minmin and I always wanted to borrow his books but felt too embarrassed to ask…
With everyone watching, it was hard to keep talking to him, but later I figured out a way; writing letters was much more convenient.
After Xu Min got familiar with Minmin, they even agreed on a place to exchange letters…”
Peiqiong’s voice trailed off into lancholy, followed by a sigh.
“Writing letters?” Yanzi caught on quickly.
“Are you saying Yang Peimin and Xu Min wrote quite a few letters to each other?”
Peiqiong nodded, puzzled by her interest.
“What about it?”
Yanzi clapped her hands and laughed mischievously, “There must be things in those letters that shouldn’t see the light of day.
If I take these letters to the Shen family, let’s see if they dare to accept this shaless bride.”
Peiqiong disagreed, “That’s not right, Yanzi.
Doing that would ruin Minmin, not just with the broken engagent but also damaging her reputation.
It would make it difficult for her to find another respectable family to marry into.
We shouldn’t do such spineless things.”
“You’re always so kind-hearted,” Yanzi sneered, rolling her eyes.
“Always ready to lay your heart bare for others, but how do they repay you?
They take advantage of your goodwill because they see you as an easy target.
Soft on the outside and the inside.” She paused before continuing.
“We won’t get involved directly then.
We’ll think of a way to make sure no one knows it was us who delivered the letters.
Even if it’s just rumors, they can’t be traced back to us.”
Peiqiong still shook her head, “I won’t agree to this, Yanzi.”
Frustrated, Yanzi stomped her foot, “Fine, you disagree with going to Xu Min, but you can’t stop !”
With that, she ran out.
“Yanzi!”
Watching Yanzi’s retreating figure, Peiqiong smiled faintly.
How co Minmin is always so lucky?
Useless at chores, awkward in conversation, academically poor, and utterly incapable of reading social cues, aggravating others with her superiority—why does she deserve all this?
Why does she get all the family’s love and a good marriage without any effort?
Just because she’s pretty?
Running her hand over her face, Peiqiong thought.
And ?
Does this ordinary face negate all my hard work?
No, she had gotten into university through her efforts, and her future prospects were sothing the mud-stained, backward Yang Peimin could never compare to.
She’d simply look down from the clouds.
Yet, the mory of Xu Min’s deaning look after he was forced to announce their past relationship flickered in her mind, making her heart tighten.
