Chapter 113: The Pride Will Not Last Long

Pei Ji glanced at Shen Zhirou, pushed Rong'er away, walked forward and held her hand.

Shen Zhirou immediately snuggled into his arms, sobbing.

Seeing this, Rong'er was so scared that her face turned even paler, and she subconsciously moved closer to Luo Zhen.

Luo Zhen was stunned.

She had thought Pei Ji would protect Rong'er, which was why she had put on such a scene. But she didn't expect that she was still no match for the child in that bitch's belly!

Aunt Zhao had already walked back to Luo Zhen, quietly pulled her closer, and whispered, "Young lady, don't get close."

Luo Zhen gritted her teeth and endured it.

Mrs. Xu felt sorry for her son again and walked over and said, "Alright, he's still injured. Don't let him exert himself. I'll have Madam help you back. Second son, you should come with us. Zhirou is badly injured. I'm really worried about the baby in her belly."

But Chen Zhirou didn't let go. She hugged Pei Ji's waist tightly and cried, "I don't want it! Cousin, I'm so scared. Just now, I was pushed to the ground. My child, my child..."

Speaking of this, Xu was also angry and complained, "That girl beside you is really not a good thing. She took advantage of your favor and dared to push Zhirou! I will punish her, and you are not allowed to cover up for her!"

Pei Ji looked at Rong'er.

Rong'er was so frightened that she was at a loss for words. She hurriedly said, "I didn't push Aunt Shen! Second Master, I really didn't push her!"

Pei Ji frowned and said, "Why do you always forget?"

Rong'er was stunned for a moment and didn't react to what he meant.

Pei Ji had already turned around with Shen Zhirou in his arms, saying, "Mother, make the decision, but don't hurt her. I still need her."

Although Mrs. Xu was somewhat dissatisfied, she also knew that having someone like her by her son's side would make him feel better and would also be good for his injuries, so she said nothing and said to the maid beside her, "Take that little hoof to the woodshed and lock him up for two days."

The old woman responded and walked to Rong'er, grabbed her arm and left.

Rong'er didn't dare to struggle. She just looked at Luo Zhen crying and shouted, "Second Madam, Second Madam..."

Luo Zhen's face turned pale. Without saying a word, she turned around and took Madam Zhao back to her own courtyard.

"I thought Rong'er had really become his favorite, but I didn't expect that before anything happened, she was taken away by that bitch! What's the point of me going through so much trouble to find her?"

After returning to the room and sending the maids and servants away, Luo Zhen slammed the table and said angrily.

Zhao Ma said, "Calm down, young lady. I think the Second Master may be aware of the truth..."

Luo Zhen was even more furious after hearing this. Before Nanny Zhao could finish, she said, "He knew that it was that bitch who was relying on her pregnancy to falsely accuse someone, yet he still protected her and punished Rong'er. Isn't that even more infuriating?"

Zhao Ma sighed, "Isn't it that Concubine Shen is pregnant? Men always value offspring. Whether Concubine Shen is pretending or not, if we don't protect her, it will make her feel disheartened. What if she gets upset and hurts the child?

Besides, Rong'er isn't really that person, so Second Master is very kind to let Madam only give her a light punishment."

After hearing this, Luo Zhen remembered the dream she had.

In the dream, even Luo Fu couldn't stop Pei Ji from having an heir, so he was indeed showing mercy by doing this now.

She calmed down, but was still irritated. She sat down on the wide chair and groaned, "That bitch is so proud again!"

Aunt Zhao laughed and said, "She won't be so proud for long."

Luo Zhen frowned at her and said, "Now that she's had a taste of success, she'll definitely be even more arrogant and take advantage of her pregnancy. What can that loser Rong'er do to her? She won't be so proud for long. I think she'll be so proud until she gives birth to that bastard!"

Madam Zhao shook her head and said, "Young lady, how could you forget? We didn't use Rong'er to compete for favors. This incident has made everyone know that she and Concubine Shen are not on good terms, so we can take action."
