Getting scolded by her own brother right in the face, He Qiutian felt a bit embarrassed.
"Brother, what’s wrong with what I said?" She looked displeased. "Clearly, they were the ones who lied first. Why can’t I point it out?"
He Qiuge had a gentle nature and was usually good-tempered, but he was also a typical bookworm, somewhat rigid, who couldn’t stand hearing crude words.
"But you can’t just blurt out... Anyway, don’t say it next time."
"Cousin, we weren’t wrong," Liu Xiangdie glanced at Shen Qinglan and the others and said, "Baihua Lane isn’t a place just anyone can live in. For people like them, claiming they live in Baihua Lane, they’ve got some nerve."
Shen Qingju chuckled in anger, "Our nerve isn’t as big as yours."
"You—" Liu Xiangdie found herself speechless.
Among them, it was indeed her nerve that was the biggest.
"Besides," Shen Qingju said, "Just because you can’t live there doesn’t mean others can’t. Our family lives in Baihua Lane. Do you have any objections?"
Shen Qinglan’s lips curled; when it came to quarreling, Shen Qingju was the best.
Li Wei watched with an affectionate smile on his face, even finding this aggressive Shen Qingju extremely adorable.
Shen Qinghe smiled, "Weren’t we planning to go to Yongning Clothing Shop?"
"Yes!" Shen Qingju said, "Today, we can’t let Qinglan get away!"
She glanced at Li Wei, feeling a bit embarrassed for confronting someone in front of him just now.
"Um, we’re going to the clothing shop, do you want to come?"
Li Wei nodded, "Sure!"
Shen Qinglan and Shen Qinghe exchanged a look, sharing a silent understanding smile.
Ignoring He Qiutian and Liu Xiangdie, who were ready to explode with anger, the four of them nodded farewell to He Qiuge and left the spot.
"Yongning Clothing Shop?" Liu Xiangdie sneered, "The cheapest clothes there cost at least an ounce of silver. Can they afford it? Still pretending to be wealthy here."
He Qiutian pulled Liu Xiangdie and said, "Cousin, let’s go watch the show!"
Hopefully, they could make Shen Qingju embarrassed in front of Li Wei!
"Who was that girl standing next to Shen Qingju and Shen Qinghe just now?" Liu Xiangdie asked.
"How would I know?" Thinking of Shen Qinglan’s fair, delicate face, He Qiutian felt a surge of jealousy.
"She shouldn’t be from Lishui Village," she said, "Maybe she’s a relative of the Shen Family."
He Qiuge looked at his two sisters gradually walking away and couldn’t help but shake his head.
"Cousin, should we follow them?"
Beside him, Liu Xiaoting gazed at him with timid eyes and spoke hesitantly.
"No need," He Qiuge said, "I need to go back and study. You can follow if you want."
Liu Xiaoting’s eyes lit up, but her voice remained timid, "Cousin, I’ll go back with you!"
"Alright then!" He Qiuge said as he looked at her, "Let’s go." Content orıginally comes from 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝕟𝕖𝕥
Meanwhile, the two who were eager to see the Shen sisters embarrassed were closely following Shen Qinglan and her group into Yongning Clothing Shop.
A slightly plump older woman came up with a kind smile and said, "Feel free to browse, dear customers! If you need anything, just let me know."
Shen Qinglan said, "Take a look, buy whatever you like."
Shen Qingju and Shen Qinghe exchanged glances, beaming as they began to browse the shop.
He Qiutian and Liu Xiangdie, who followed them in, were eager to see them make a fool of themselves upon realizing the clothes were too expensive. They also wandered around the shop aimlessly.
The group ignored them and focused on picking out clothes.
"This cape looks nice, it’s perfect for you!"
Shen Qinghe handed a light pink cape embroidered with plum blossoms to Shen Qingju.
Shen Qingju instinctively looked at Li Wei, seeing him stand by Shen Qinglan, gazing at her with a warm smile, and she couldn’t help but blush.
