Chapter 116 Aunt
Rong'er stood there, facing the gazes of the two men, not showing any sign of fear. Her expression was calm, and her eyes were clear and unyielding.
Especially when he looked at Chen Zhirou, his eyes were slightly lowered, without any fluctuation, as if he didn't take her seriously at all.
Shen Zhirou inexplicably recalled the scene when she went to see Luo Fu.
She flew into a rage and shouted, "This is my room! How dare you come in without permission! Cousin, not only did she enter the master's room without permission, she also disobeyed discipline and ran out of the woodshed without permission. Don't you care?"
Pei Ji watched Rong'er slowly sit up and said softly, "What do you think? Should I intervene?"
Rong Er still had the same expression: "Second Master will naturally take care of it. I have never pushed Aunt Chen. She framed me. Second Master is the head of the family. If you don't take care of it, who will take care of it?"
Chen Zhirou's face flushed with anger. Just as she was about to speak, Pei Ji suddenly burst into laughter. He got off the bed and walked to Rong'er. He raised his hand to stroke her frizzy hair and said with a smile, "You're right. I have to take care of it. I wronged you yesterday. Today I will promote you to concubine as compensation. What do you think?"
Rong Er was still like that: "Second Master is the boss."
Pei Ji looked into her eyes and smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, let's go back to the front hall first, and then we can move in after the yard is ready for you."
As he said this, he put his arm around Rong'er and went out.
Shen Zhirou sat on the bed blankly.
The two maids in her yard heard the noise and came over, but they didn't dare to enter. After Pei Ji took Rong'er out, they came in. Seeing Chen Zhirou like this, they carefully comforted her, "Auntie, don't be upset..."
Before she finished speaking, Shen Zhirou suddenly threw the pillow and screamed, “Get out!”
The two had no choice but to retreat and heard sobbing sounds coming from inside.
The two looked at each other and sighed.
The news that Rong'er escaped from the woodshed and ran to Chen Zhirou's room to seduce Pei Ji quickly spread.
Luo Zhen was surprised: "She has this ability? Pei Ji actually abandoned Shen Zhirou and was seduced away by her?"
The tone of the latter sentence was a bit sour.
Aunt Zhao said beside her, "This is good news, young lady."
Luo Zhen nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Strike while the iron is hot. Ma'am, please prepare everything."
Aunt Zhao said, "Don't worry, young lady. We've already made preparations and are just waiting for the opportunity to act!"
Luo Zhen looked at the gloomy Tiandao at the door and said, "Wait, the opportunity will come when Pei Ji falls asleep."
After that, she called a maid and ordered, "Go to the front hall and keep an eye on it. If the Second Master falls asleep, come back and tell me. Rong'er is going to be promoted to Concubine, so I have to teach her something. Otherwise, how can she serve the Second Master?"
The maid quickly responded and went to the front hall.
Pei Ji's injuries had not healed yet, and he had a nightmare and didn't sleep well. With Rong'er's company, he fell asleep again after a while.
The maid hurried back to tell Luo Zhen.
Luo Zhen glanced at Aunt Zhao, then stood up and went to the front hall.
Nanny Zhao walked to the inner room, lifted the curtain, and saw Rong'er lying next to Pei Ji with her face facing inward, and seemed to be asleep.
She had no choice but to walk in quietly, wake Rong'er up, and lead her out.
Rong'er had a good impression of Luo Zhen and didn't want to disobey her. If she was unhappy, she had to put on her clothes and come out panting.
Luo Zhen didn't mind her laziness, nor did she let her bow. She affectionately took her hand and led her to sit down, saying with a smile, "I heard long ago that you were going to be promoted to Concubine. This is truly a blessing in disguise."
Facing others, Rong Er no longer tried to straighten her eyes, and said with some pride: "See if she still dares to bully me!"
Luo Zhen smiled and said, "From now on, you are both concubines, so she naturally won't have the courage to bully you anymore. However, since you are a concubine, you must do your duty as a concubine. You must mend clothes, shoes and socks for the Second Master, wash your hands and cook soup, and take care of his health. You must not neglect such things."
Rong'er said hurriedly: "Rong'er knows, Rong'er will never take advantage of Second Master's favor and ignore Second Master!"
Luo Zhen said with satisfaction: "I know you are well-behaved, so from now on, you should take better care of Second Master's food, and stop being angry with Aunt Chen. The two of you were angry with each other yesterday and it made Second Master very upset. He really needs to take good care of his body."
Rong'er nodded quickly, then hesitated: "But how am I supposed to take care of Second Master's food? I can only live here now, and I don't have a small kitchen to cook for Second Master."
Luo Zhen said, "All the food for the masters of our mansion is provided by the main kitchen. The small kitchens in each courtyard can only boil water and stew some soup and medicine. It's almost noon now, and you should go to the kitchen to see how they are preparing it, especially the soup for the Second Master. I originally boiled it in the small kitchen and brought it to you, but after what happened yesterday, I gave the medicine for the Second Master to Aunt Shen. Now... naturally, you have to take care of it."
Rong'er was a little happy, and her sleepiness was also reduced by half: "Rong'er, listen to Second Madam, I'll be there right away!"
Luo Zhen said, "I'll let Madam Zhao go with you. You've just been promoted to Concubine, and I'm afraid the people in the kitchen don't know and might still treat you like a maid. It wouldn't be good if you delayed Second Master's medicine."
How could Rong'er not agree? She nodded repeatedly, tidied her clothes, and gratefully pushed Zhao Ma to the kitchen.
