Chapter 44 Entering the dream again, Luo Zhen is like a dumb person eating coptis

"Second Madam?"

Both Xu and Pei Yu were stunned.

“It turned out to be her!”

Pei Yu wiped away her tears fiercely and glared at the maid: "Tell me! What did that bitch say!"

The two maids were so frightened that they trembled and had to tell the story.

"Cai Lu was gossiping with others in the rockery, fabricating stories about the girl, saying she stole her grandmother's dowry. To protect her own reputation, she sent a maidservant to take the blame, killing a person in vain..."

"Madam, young lady, we didn't mean to overhear it. It was the servants who spread it. We just heard it and didn't spread it. It's none of our business..."

Shen Zhirou was listening with great pleasure.

This matter had already spread among the servants, and after she heard about it, she decided to expose it.

But it’s no fun to let the rotten meat rot in your own pot. It would be more domineering to lift the lid and let everyone smell it.

She was just worried about not finding an opportunity, and Luo Zhen happened to hold a banquet.

How could she miss such a good opportunity? She immediately arranged for a maid.

Look how smoothly things are going.

Mrs. Xu was so angry that she almost fainted. "So, it turned out to be her! Seeing her busying around for my Yu'er, I thought she was a good person, but I never thought she was hiding such vicious thoughts behind my back! She is really a dog that bites without barking! What a misfortune for our family! What a misfortune for our family! Why did we marry such a piece of shit!"

Chen Zhirou walked forward with an anxious expression, holding her in one hand and helping her calm down with the other: "Aunt, please calm down first. Although this was made up by Cai Lu, it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the Second Mistress. The Second Mistress is such a good-natured person, she would never do such a thing."

"Bah!" Pei Yu's eyes were filled with poison. "That bitch was her maidservant who came with her as a dowry. If she didn't obey her orders, it would be related to her. How could she obey you and have something to do with you? Just because a maidservant beside me did such a thing, I beat her to death and returned the things to her, but she still holds a grudge and wants to ruin my life! Luo Zhen! Bitch! I will never let her go in this life!"

Chen Zhirou advised: "Why don't we wait for Second Madam and that girl to come back and ask clearly..."

Pei Yu sneered, "Why are you asking? Doesn't she know what she did? Even if I ask, she'll just be quibbling and putting the blame on the maid! Mother, this bitch has ruined my life. You must stand up for me!"

Xu gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry, Yu'er, I'll take care of her! But what needs to be dealt with now is those bastards who spread rumors!"

She glared at the two maids and said, "Go, call all the servants in the mansion to the front yard!"

Xu severely disciplined the servants.

No one dared to spread rumors or talk nonsense anymore.

After Luo Zhen came back, she felt something was wrong in the mansion.

Both the servants and the maids looked at her strangely.

She was already full of inexplicable anger outside, and she became even more annoyed when she saw this. She was about to call someone over to ask, but the maid came over and delivered Xu's instructions, asking her to go to the main hall.

Luo Zhen had to put it aside temporarily and went to the main courtyard.

Entering the main courtyard, in the main hall at the end of the long corridor, Xu sat at the top, Pei Yu stood on her right, and Shen Zhirou stood on her left and right.

The distance was still far, and she couldn't see their faces clearly, but she felt a dark pressure coming from her, as if she would be torn apart if she walked in.

Luo Zhen was startled and walked over slowly.

The closer the distance got, the clearer Xu and Pei Yu's faces became.

Both of them stared at her expressionlessly.

Shen Zhirou, who was standing on the right, looked at her with sympathy and concern.

Luo Zhen felt increasingly uneasy, and bowed, "Mother, my wife is back."

Xu asked, "Did you find out anything?"

Luo Zhen stood up straight and said with some embarrassment: "My wife is incompetent and didn't get anything out of me..."

Not only did she not get anything out of the question, she didn't even see the person. She was just left alone in the main hall.

She waited for a long time, and was filled with confusion and anger, so she had no choice but to come back.

"Humph, of course you can't ask anything."

Xu snorted coldly, and suddenly shouted: "Did I let you get up?"

Luo Zhen was shocked and completely stunned.

Pei Yu said harshly, "Why are you in a daze? My mother didn't tell you to get up, didn't you hear me?"

Luo Zhen had never been scolded like this since she was a child. She felt confused, wronged, angry, and scared. With red eyes, she asked, "I don't know what I did wrong to make my mother so angry?"

“Bang!”

A teacup fell at Luo Zhen's feet, and the tea leaves mixed with the tea residue fell onto the hem of Luo Zhen's skirt.

She was so frightened that she stepped back repeatedly, looking at Xu with horror.

Mrs. Xu cursed angrily, "You bastard! You're always pretending, making everyone think you're the most filial and sensible daughter-in-law ever. But after just a few days, your true colors are showing. You stood up without your mother-in-law telling you to, and now you're questioning her? Is this the rule in your wealthy families?"

Luo Zhen was hit and scolded, and her former dignity was gone.

Qiuwen and Cailu, who were standing outside the door, couldn't help but run in to support her.

Seeing this, Madam Xu was even more furious: "Did I let you two bitches in? If the master has no rules, the servants are also sons of bitches! Come on, take these two bitches out and beat them up, beat them hard, especially this one called Cai Lu, beat them to death!"

Qiu Wen and Cai Lu's faces turned pale upon hearing this. They knelt down hurriedly and begged for mercy, "Madam, please spare us. We are just worried about our master and have done nothing wrong."

Xu gouged at Cai Lu and cursed, "You bitch, how dare you say you're innocent? You know exactly what you did! Besides, you're just a son-of-a-bitch slave. Does the master need a reason to beat or kill you? Come on! Drag these two bitches out and beat them up!"

A maid has already walked in.

The two men quickly hugged Luo Zhen's legs and cried, "Girl, please save us! Girl!"

Luo Zhen had recovered by now. She suppressed all her emotions and thought about what had just happened.

As soon as she returned, she was harassed by this mother and daughter, who even tried to beat and kill her maid. Something must have happened...

This mother and daughter are the most brainless. They will turn against each other if provoked.

There was a problem with Pei Yu's marriage, and it was possible that someone was interfering.

“Wait!”

Luo Zhen spoke up, stopping the old woman from dragging the maid, and looked at Shen Zhirou, who had been silent the whole time: "Cousin, Luo Zhen thinks she has treated you well, why are you trying to harm me?"

Chen Zhirou was watching a play when Luo Zhen suddenly attacked her. She didn't panic, but was stunned for a moment and said aggrievedly: "Why would Second Madam suddenly ask this? Zhirou, when has Zhirou ever harmed Second Madam?"

Luo Zhen didn't look at her, but only looked at Xu and Pei Yu and cried, "I don't know what went wrong with my sister Yu's marriage, and I'm so worried about it. I was left out in the cold when I went to someone else's house, and I was scolded by my mother and sister when I came back. I can't trust anyone who has instigated this during this period!

Mother, what did she say to you and Sister Yu? Tell me, and I will confront her face to face and clear her name!"

Shen Zhirou also cried: "Second Madam really wronged me to death, how could Zhirou do such a thing!"

Pei Yu said, "My cousin is not a two-faced person like you! My mother and I are not stupid enough to believe anyone's instigation. You know what you did, so don't try to blame my cousin! And don't even think about protecting this rotten-mouthed bitch next to you!"

As she spoke, she actually walked over and slapped Cai Lu's face hard, until her mouth was full of blood. Then she shook her hand and said to the old woman standing nearby, ready to arrest someone, "This is the Pei Mansion. The surname is Pei, not Luo. I said, take this bitch with a rotten mouth away and beat her to death. Do you hear me?"

Before Luo Zhen came back, these two old women had been punished by Xu and Pei Yu among the servants. How could they dare to disobey now? Without any hesitation, they dragged the crying Qiuwen and Cailu out.

Luo Zhen watched, his chest heaving.

She was not angry about the two maids, but was angry at her rude sister-in-law who could never be reasoned with.

After dealing with the maid, Pei Yu felt a little relieved. He glared at Luo Zhen fiercely and walked back to Xu.

Xu also glared at Luo Zhen: "You have a maid to take the blame for you, what are you still standing here for? You're an eyesore, get back to your yard!"

Luo Zhen bit her lip tightly, unable to stay any longer. She looked at Chen Zhirou with resentment, turned around and ran out.

When Luo Zhen returned to her room, she could no longer hold back her tears and threw herself on the bed.

The two remaining maids beside her didn't know what had happened and had never seen her like this before, so they hesitated at the door and didn't dare to go in.

Until Qiuwen was sent back covered in blood.

Only then did the two maids know what had happened.

Cai Lu had actually been beaten to death.

The two of them turned pale, and in fear they were also glad that they had not lost face in front of Luo Zhen, otherwise they would have been beaten to death or crippled.

The two of them just hid behind them, and it was the maid outside who came in and asked Luo Zhen, "Miss, Miss Cai Lu is dead, and Miss Qiu Wen has been carried back. She is covered in blood and doesn't look well. Do you want to go over and take a look?"

"roll!"

Luo Zhen picked up the porcelain pillow and smashed it on the concubine, screaming and cursing, "Bitch, get out!"

The maid was hit on the chest and almost couldn't breathe. She staggered back a few steps before she could stand steady. Seeing that Luo Zhen was about to pick up something and throw it at her again, she hurriedly turned around and ran away.

Seeing this, Luo Zhen felt even more aggrieved and angry.

What are the uses of these slaves who came as dowry!

She cried like this, and not only did no one comfort her or offer any advice, but she was even forced to watch that bloody and filthy scene!

The more Luo Zhen thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and she threw herself on the bed and burst into tears again.

After an unknown amount of time, she fell asleep.

Pei Ji got married in the dream.

But the bride is not her.

It's Love.

Pei Ji was harassed outside the Luo Mansion and asked to write a poem to urge him to get ready.

He was not annoyed, but actually did it word for word.

Then he went in to meet his new bride, and he was too impatient and too happy to do so.

She had never seen him smile.

It turns out he can laugh.

Especially when he saw Love, his eyes never left her.

He did not allow the matchmaker or the maid to help her. He held her hand himself, carefully led her out of the Luo Mansion, and put her into the bridal sedan.

When riding in front, you will look back from time to time.

Everyone could see how much he loved this bride.

Even if the bride's dowry is only a few pounds.

Fortunately, the fact that Pei Yu stole the dowry has not changed.

Carol didn't even know.

The servant who was guarding the dowry found that it was lost and went straight to find Pei Ji.

Pei Ji was an old hand at handling cases and knew the character of his family members very well, so Pei Yu was quickly caught.

Also arrested was the eldest son's wife, Zhou.

The two were so frightened that they trembled and immediately returned the dowry.

But Pei Ji did not give up. If Zhou had not taken out her two children and begged him, and promised that she would never do it again, the family would have been divided after just this one time.

Even though Xu Shi stopped Pei Yu, he was still taken away and beaten with five boards.

So, when Love woke up at noon, the matter of the stolen dowry had been resolved and suppressed.

Luo Fu went to the main courtyard to offer tea to Xu, and Pei Ji also accompanied her.

Xu obviously hated Luo Fu, but she could only put on a face.

But even with just this little bit of injustice, Pei Ji felt extremely distressed and tried all kinds of ways to make Luo Fu laugh.

It turns out that her husband is not so unromantic and cold-hearted.

Finally, he carried her into bed again.

Low and hoarse coaxing.

The cry is melodious.

It turns out that what happened under the bed wasn't that humiliating and agonizing.

When Luo Zhen woke up, it was already dark outside.

There was no candle in her room.

Only the faint candlelight from the outer room shone through.

She lay there blankly, remembering everything in her dream vividly.

At this moment, she felt a bitter taste in her mouth.

It's like eating Coptis chinensis.

And she was just like the dumb person, who had eaten Coptis chinensis and felt the bitterness, but couldn't say it out loud.

She lay there for a long time, and suddenly felt that her and her mother's ideas were somewhat wrong.

It is true that the harem is a woman’s world.

But men are important too.

If he really wanted to protect her, why would she need to bother managing the relationships between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, sister-in-law and sister-in-law, and sisters-in-law?

How could I still suffer these grievances?

She should spend more time on her husband.

I don't ask him to love Love, that useless girl with only good looks, as much as he did in my dream, but I just hope he can protect her a little more.

Once we have a legitimate son, everything will go more smoothly.

Thinking of this, Luo Zhen let out a long breath, sat up and shouted, "Someone come."

Her remaining two maids had no choice but to come in and listen to the instructions: "Miss..."

Luo Zhen only had Pei Ji in her mind now, and didn't care about her maid's thoughts. She ordered: "Light the lamps, wash and put on makeup for me, and dress me up in a more colorful way."

Seeing that she did not make trouble, the two maids breathed a sigh of relief and helped her wash and dress.

After getting dressed, Luo Zhen looked at herself in the mirror and asked, "Second Master, aren't you going back home today?"

Because he was going to be transferred to the capital, Pei Ji had been very busy these past two days, eating and living at the Qianhu Office.

The maidservant hurriedly said, "The servants are all watching. The Second Master hasn't returned home yet. I think he must be staying at the Qianhu Residence tonight."

Luo Zhen said, "Go ask the kitchen to prepare some of the Second Master's favorite food. I'm going to the Qianhu Office to see the Second Master."

The two maids were a little surprised that she was so proactive, but it had nothing to do with them.

Just do your job honestly.

The two of them went down to do it.
