"Today a man came to my door and said many things to me," she said, "He claimed you were my enemy, that you had killed my husband, that I was once the Lady of the Marquis of Pingnan, and so many other things. I don't know if what he said was true or false, but I think you should know."
Shao He didn't like to keep secrets; rather than feeling uncomfortable herself, she preferred to speak openly.
Pei Huaian knew that whoever had said these things to her definitely meant no good, surely intending to sow discord in their relationship.
He held Shao He's delicate hand tightly and spoke with utmost sincerity, "I could deceive anyone, but I would never lie to you."
"I believe you."
Shao He decided based on her own feelings and would not be swayed by someone else's few words, but she wanted Pei Huaian to be aware of this matter.
"It's getting late, you should go back and rest."
