Chapter 443: Chapter 443 Don’t Let Me Wear the Green Hat (1)_1

After leaving Mo Heng’s place, Pei Qin headed to Yue Sheng Tavern, ready to take a look at the supposedly severely injured Shen Songming.

As soon as she arrived, she saw Shen Songming, his face covered with wounds, walking unsteadily, supported by Shuang Xi, with several silent guards following behind.

Pei Qin raised an eyebrow and followed from a distance.

Shuang Xi asked him in a worried whisper, "Young master! Can we trust Ms. Pei?" He looked at those wounds, so fake.

"Why not trust her! I’m hurt like this!" Shen Songming gave him a glance, discontentedly saying, "Such heartlessness! Not even coming to see me when I’m injured!"

Shuang Xi tried to persuade him, "Young master! Why don’t we go back? You look like this, and going to see Ms. Pei so late, it might... lead to misunderstandings."

"Those people have had their minds in the gutter for a long time! Only she hasn’t!" Shen Songming ground his teeth.

"But this could damage Ms. Pei’s reputation." Shuang Xi decided to try persuading him considering Pei Qin’s perspective.

Shen Songming hesitated only for a moment but then decided to go anyway, "If I don’t go, should I just give my place to someone else?" He was the most suitable and ideal man for Pei Qin!

Shuang Xi’s mouth twitched slightly, speaking as if competing for favor, the young master really was ill!

The more Shen Songming thought, the more he regretted it, "If only I hadn’t cured that blind man’s eyes, let him stay blind!" He was also unhappy with Pei Qin, "If she doesn’t properly appease me, I’m not leaving tonight!"

The guards behind glanced back at Pei Qin following them and then at the complaining Shen Songming, exchanged looks, and decided not to remind him; after all, the young master was enjoying his rant!

When they reached the door to his house, Shen Songming asked Shuang Xi to knock on the door.

As soon as the door opened, Shen Songming immediately started moaning and groaning.

"Brother Songming! You... got beaten up like this!? You can’t even beat Mo Jiu?" Pei Qian’s eyes widened as she observed his face full of wounds. Was this really Mo Jiu’s doing?

Shen Songming choked at her question, admitting he couldn’t beat Mo Jiu, which was admitting he was weak. Not admitting meant that his face full of injuries for coming here... After a thought, Shen Songming said, "His guard is very skilled in martial arts!"

"But you have several guards too!" Pei Qian said, looking behind him at the five men, noticing one of them was her eldest sister; she looked at Shen Songming, her mouth twitching in surprise.

"My guards couldn’t beat them!" Shen Songming blatantly lied, shifting the blame to the guards behind him.

The guards indicated they didn’t want to carry this scapegoat! And to speak such shameless words in front of Ms. Pei, weren’t they afraid of actually getting a severe beating? They glanced at Pei Qin standing to the side and decided to kindly cough to remind Shen Songming.

Shen Songming just assumed they were unhappy about being scapegoats, but for the sake of his lifelong happiness, what’s the harm in taking the blame? He walked shakily into the house, "Where’s your eldest sister?"

Pei Qian looked at her eldest sister following behind and, with a twitching mouth, wondered whether she should tell him that the eldest sister was right behind him.

"Pei Qin! Pei Qin!" Shen Songming called out ’feeblily’ as he entered.

Pei Yuan, Pei Wendong, and Chang Yonglin who came out to greet him looked somewhat surprised, then looked at Pei Qin.

It was Lu Hai who spoke up, "She’s been following behind the whole time, saw everything."

Shen Songming shivered and turned to look back.

Pei Qin looked at him with an expressionless face, showing signs of speechlessness.

"I am really hurt! And it’s not light!" Shen Songming quickly emphasized, then added with a sense of grievance, "Since you didn’t come to see me, I had to come find you!"

Pei Qin curved her lips into a smile, "Do you want me to apply medicine for you?"
