Pei Zhan sat in the tea stall, twirling the hairpin in his fingers.
This hairpin was made of pure gold inlaid with sapphires, with tassels on one end. Besides the engraved character "Zhen" indicating its origin and the material demonstrating the owner's wealth, it was no different from the hairpins worn by other noble ladies.

Whether he believed it or not, it was a fact that the Fu Family's concubine and the kidnappers were injured by Fu Zhen, and it was Fu Zhen who carried the third Madam Du down the mountain by herself.
Pei Zhan's focus on the matter was naturally on the peculiarities of Fu Zhen as a lady from a civil servant family, but after pondering her oddities, his thoughts involuntarily drifted beyond her actions.
