Shen Yiyue came back mainly to deliver a message to Yang PeiMin and to bring her niece back, but her gossip-loving heart had not calmed down at all. No sooner had she finished talking than she quickly grabbed a ladder, climbed over the wall, and peered at the bustling scene at the neighboring Li Family's house.
Yang PeiMin, watching her do this, felt a tickle of curiosity too, but with little Xiao Fen still there, looking up at her with eyes full of hope for praise and reward, she managed to quell her restless heart. She took out the rewards she had promised Xiao Fen, a few pieces of fruit-flavored candy and some hawthorn candies, and handed them to her, "Share with your sister and don't eat them all at once, okay? Remember to brush your teeth tonight."
Xiao Fen took the treats, loudly agreed, and ran off.
