While speaking, as if remembering something, she quickly shouted towards the government officer.
"Lord, Pei Shu'er has a dagger in her hand."
This was a serious matter. With a dagger, it's simply telling everyone that Pei Shu'er is an extremely dangerous person, possibly even posing a threat to the government officer.
So the government officer came to search Pei Shu'er, and she cooperated fully, but they found nothing. The officer angrily beat up Tang Peilin before leaving.
Pei Shu'er said sadly, "Uncle, just say if you don't want my treatment. There's no need to falsely accuse me. Where would I get a dagger from?"
Tang Peilin's eyes widened in disbelief. How was that possible? He had clearly seen it!
Old Madam Tang felt Tang Peilin was really going too far and couldn't bear to see Pei Shu'er left aside like that.
"Shu'er, just go back. I think he's as lively as a dragon."
This elder son really brought great shame to the Tang Family.
