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

Chapter 244 The Heart of a Villain
Pei Yuanshi suddenly felt ashamed of being caught red-handed.

He lowered his head, and after a while, he mustered up his courage and carefully chose his words.

"...I just feel that Miss Song always gives me a sense of novelty. Just when I think I have a certain understanding of Miss Song, she will give me a refreshing feeling again."

"It made me realize that I still don't know Miss Song well enough."

Song Lan gave a soft "heh" and said nothing.

Pei Yuanshi suddenly felt a strong urge to get an answer, and insisted, "Miss Song, there must always be a soft spot in your heart, right?"

That's why the first thing they considered was the issue of saving face for girls their own age.

Pei Yuanshi was even curious to know if Song Lan also had a girlish heart.
He wanted to know even more what Song Lan had gone through to become like this, observing the world with a cold eye, her expression indifferent, keeping everyone at arm's length.

Is it just because of the Xie family?
That Xie family truly deserves to die!

However, Song Lan did not seem to intend to exterminate the Xie family.

It's simply about exposing the unscrupulous things the Xie family did to the public.

Song Lan suddenly laughed: "What? Did you, Daoist Pei, always think that I was a heart of stone, a cold and unapproachable person?"

Pei Yuanshi: ...

He was suddenly at a loss for words.

"I...I..." he stammered, denying it weakly, "I didn't."

Song Lan chuckled softly, as if laughing at his hypocrisy.

"I wonder if if we threw Master Pei into the alchemy furnace at the Changsheng Temple, he'd still be able to open his mouth, as hard as a stinking rock in a latrine?"

Pei Yuanshi: ...

He couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved; Miss Song's scolding of him was a bit too blunt.

Pei Yuanshi pursed his lips, thinking about how he hadn't investigated the truth when he was at the Su family. He then launched into a passionate and angry rant. He apologized to Song Lan again: "I was wrong before. I didn't know the truth and judged Miss Song's character with my petty mind."

"I dare not presume to ask for Miss Song's forgiveness, I only beg that Miss Song give me a chance to make amends." Song Lan raised an eyebrow: "Make amends?"

"Are you only going to give me vegetarian dishes?" That's really unnecessary.

Pei Yuanshi belatedly realized that Song Lan didn't like eating green vegetables.

In the morning, he only served people vegetables.

"Sorry……"

Pei Yuanshi subconsciously explained, "I thought Miss Song, being a young lady, would be more concerned about maintaining her figure, which is why..."

She felt Song Lan's ambiguous gaze fall upon her.

Pei Yuanshi realized once again that he must have said the wrong thing.

"sorry."

"I shouldn't have this preconceived prejudice. Girls should eat more meat. Eating more meat will give them the strength to fight off bad people with ill intentions. It's better to rely on yourself than on others. Relying on others is unreliable. Mountains may crumble, and people may run away. It's better to rely on yourself than on anyone else..."

He rambled on incoherently, becoming increasingly embarrassed as he spoke.

It seems like the more I try to explain, the worse it gets.

"Okay, don't explain."

Song Lan interrupted him calmly: "Anyway, what you say won't affect my choice or my decision."

"sorry."

Pei Yuanshi had nothing to say and could only offer another weak and feeble apology.

Song Lan gave a faint "hmm," showing no intention of continuing to argue with Pei Yuanshi about whether this matter was unfair to her.

The more open and honest she was, the more ashamed Pei Yuanshi felt.
