Chapter 107 Strategy
The Xu family and their companions accompanied Cui Yuru and Pei Yu all the way to the gate.
Watched the two of them get on the carriage and leave.
Xu's face was about to burst into laughter. She squinted at Luo Zhen and said, "Some people look down on my Yu'er, but what's the truth? My Yu'er won the favor of the young master of the Bo's Mansion the first time she went there. The lady of the Bo's Mansion valued her so much that she personally came to invite my Yu'er. But some people, relying on their cousin relationship, rush to curry favor with her, but the lady doesn't even value her much."
Luo Zhen's face looked very ugly. She said nothing and turned away with Zhao Ma.
On the way, she couldn't help but say to Madam Zhao, "This is really strange. Although my eldest cousin seems more dignified and serious than my second cousin, when you really look at her, these two sisters are actually the same. Pei Yu is a piece of shit. She would even think it's bad luck to look at her son, let alone tease him. And now she's going to ask her to come and comfort the child? Oh, Madam, can you believe it?"
Aunt Zhao shook her head and said, "I'm afraid there's some conspiracy behind this..."
The two walked all the way back to their yard, still unable to figure out why Cui Yuru was looking for Pei Yu.
Sitting on the chair, Luo Zhen sneered, "Anyway, no matter what it's used for, it won't be what she said. It's ridiculous that the old hag still thinks her daughter is such a hot commodity. I'll just wait and see. There will be a day when they cry."
Madam Zhao agreed, "Young lady, you're right. These vulgar and foolish people will have their own sufferings. There's no need to pay any attention to them. It's time to deal with that Concubine Chen."
Luo Zhen smiled: "I heard that she has been unable to eat recently. This is really heartbreaking."
Aunt Zhao also smiled and complimented, "It's all thanks to the young lady that she had the right idea. If she hadn't asked you to find this person, Aunt Chen wouldn't know how proud she would be."
Speaking of Rong'er, Luo Zhen's smile faded, and she said sourly, "Yes, ever since she was sent over, Pei Ji has only let her serve him. She is really favored."
Zhao Ma Ma advised, "No matter how favored she is, she's just a toy. Second Master hasn't touched her, has he? Don't worry, young lady. We trained her, so we don't have to worry about her disobeying us. We'll find a chance to call her over and give her a good beating later. You can ask her to do whatever you want."
Luo Zhen nodded, suppressed her emotions, and said thoughtfully, "Since Rong'er is in favor now, we should take this opportunity to get rid of that bitch. Otherwise, it will be difficult to do it when she gets pregnant. Ma'am, do you have any ideas?"
Nanny Zhao leaned close to Luo Zhen's ear and whispered something.
Luo Zhen was a little surprised after hearing this: "Is this... possible?"
Madam Zhao said, "We need to cut the Gordian knot quickly. If we use other strategies, there will be too many variables. If something goes wrong, it will be difficult to take action later. And Concubine Chen is not someone who can be easily dealt with."
Luo Zhen was still a little hesitant: "Will they suspect me?"
Madam Zhao said, "It was all Rong'er's doing. What has it got to do with you, young lady? Are you trying to put the blame on you just because she recommended you?"
Luo Zhen thought for a long time, nodded, stood up and said, "Listen to Madam, let's go see Rong'er now."
Aunt Zhao followed her out.
Pei Ji still lived in the front hall.
When the two of them went there, Pei Ji had just taken the medicine and gone to bed.
Luo Zhen had Rong'er called out and said with a smile, "You've been serving the Second Master lately. You've been really hard at work. Is the Second Master's injury feeling better?"
Although Rong'er had only been with Pei Ji for a day or two, her expression had changed significantly. However, when facing Luo Zhen, her timidity remained. She quickly replied, "This is what Rong'er should do. Don't worry, Rong'er. Second Master's injury has improved a lot, and he can even walk again."
Luo Zhen nodded with relief: "That's good. Since the Second Master is asleep, let him rest well. Come with me for a walk outside and tell me in detail about the Second Master's condition. I can ask the kitchen to prepare supplements as needed."
Rong'er hurriedly responded, followed her with her head slightly lowered, and responded to Luo Zhen's words along the way. Finally, she led her to a secluded room.
Luo Zhen winked at Madam Zhao.
Nanny Zhao immediately went out, closed the door, and stood guard at the door.
Rong'er was a little horrified when she saw this: "Grandma, what are you doing..."
Luo Zhen smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. I just want to tell you something, but I don't want others to hear it."
Rong'er was still a little nervous.
Although she was timid, she was not stupid. She knew that she was favored by Pei Ji, and the Second Madam must be feeling bad. Now she was called here alone, and who knew what would happen.
She clutched her clothes, pursed her lips tightly, and all she wanted was to go back to Pei Ji.
Luo Zhen saw through her thoughts immediately and softened her tone to comfort her, "You are someone I specially selected to be with the Second Master. How could I be jealous of you? Don't be suspicious, little girl. You are pushing your own people away for no reason, and you are giving those who hate you to the core an opportunity to take advantage of you."
Rong'er was stunned when she heard this: "Someone who hates me to the core? I didn't do anything, who would hate me like this?"
Luo Zhen said, "Madam Chen, when you were sleeping in the Second Master's bed, the look in Madam Chen's eyes when she came in looked at you, don't you know?"
When Rong'er heard her say this, she immediately remembered that when she was accompanying the Second Master yesterday, the woman who came in was indeed hostile to her and asked the Second Madam to take care of her.
Luo Zhen struck while the iron was hot, "That Concubine Chen, relying on her pregnancy, thinks she's favored and is usually very proud. But when you came, you caught the Second Master's eye without doing anything, and the Second Master even scolded her because of you. Do you think she's happy? How could she not hate you to the core? I heard she's been having trouble eating lately. I'm afraid she's thinking of ways to deal with you right now."
Rong'er's face turned pale, and she quickly knelt down and said, "Grandma, save me!"
Luo Zhen hurriedly supported her: "What are you doing? You are mine, and you are so favored by the Second Master, why should you be afraid of her?"
Rong'er was flustered: "But, but I don't know what to do. If she causes trouble for me, I..."
Luo Zhen said earnestly, "If you want to make a living in this backyard, you can't swallow your anger. Otherwise, everyone will treat you as a soft persimmon, which will make Aunt Chen proud. You can't just sit there and wait for death. It is said that the first move is the strongest. When you see her, suppress her first and give her a warning. Let her see your means. If she wants to cause trouble for you in the future, she will have to think twice before doing so. This is the only way to solve the problem once and for all. Rong'er, think about it yourself, isn't this the truth?"
Rong'er was originally a person without a strong opinion. Luo Zhen's words made some sense, so she nodded and said, "I hope grandma can teach me."
Luo Zhen's smile became even kinder when he heard this, and he said softly, "I will naturally teach you."
