Chapter 25 Offending Sisters-in-law
In the wing room on the west side of the courtyard.
Shen Zhirou stood beside Pei Ji and untied his belt, feeling extremely sweet in her heart.
She originally thought that even if her cousin did not like losing her virginity, he would definitely stay in the bridal chamber on the wedding night.
Although she felt sad, she didn't plan to do anything at this time.
After all, my cousin had already made her a concubine before they got married.
The bridal chamber was also arranged in the east courtyard.
The west courtyard where she lived with her cousin for many years remains unchanged.
She is already very satisfied.
I didn’t expect that my cousin would come!
Chen Zhirou suppressed the sweetness and excitement in her heart. While undressing Pei Ji, she said, "Cousin, tonight is your wedding night. If you come to my place, grandma will definitely be unhappy. I'm afraid you will see her tomorrow..."
Pei Ji glanced at her and asked, "Do you want to make her happy?"
Chen Zhirou was stunned and said quickly: "I'm just worried that you won't have a good time tomorrow, cousin..."
As he was speaking, a maid outside said, "Second Master, Second Madam has sent someone to reply."
Shen Zhirou's expression changed, and she forced a smile and said, "I must be asking you to go back."
Pei Ji took off his wedding clothes and threw them on the shelf and asked, "What did you say?"
The maid outside said, "Second Madam said that Second Master has been busy all day and shouldn't work any more at night. Even if he likes Auntie very much, he should take care of himself and rest early."
Shen Zhirou widened her eyes.
On the wedding night, the husband stayed in the room of another woman. How could the bride not be annoyed and resentful?
It’s a good thing that no one was sent to scold her.
How could this Miss Luo be so virtuous and generous?
Pei Ji twisted his lips and sneered.
She ruined his marriage with Fu'er and clearly looked down on his background, but still forced him to marry her.
On their wedding night, he was so disrespectful to her, yet she could still be so considerate?
It seems that marrying him will definitely bring greater benefits than entering the palace.
Although he didn't know what the benefit would be, he knew that she would be in pain before she got the benefit.
For the rest of their lives, she and the Luo family will have to pay the price for sending Fu'er away!
At this moment, Shen Zhirou was the happiest.
She had already taken off Pei Ji's clothes.
Looking at his broad chest, strong and muscular waist and abdomen, she almost softened into a puddle of water.
In fact, she did go limp, collapsing on Pei Ji's broad chest, her hands on his. She panted slightly, and raised her face to look at him with seductive eyes: "Cousin, let's rest..."
Pei Ji pinched her face and looked at her for a moment, then pressed her down expressionlessly.
The next day, Luo Zhen got up at the hour of Mao.
In fact, she didn't sleep much that night. She looked haggard in the mirror, with dark circles under her eyes.
The four maids around her saw this and didn't know what to say.
They have been serving Luo Zhen since they were young.
Know the temperament of these older girls.
The eldest girl has always been superior since she was a child. Even in Qingzhou, she is overshadowed by the second cousin, but she can handle it with ease.
But now the situation...
They knew that no matter what they said, the older girl would not be happy and would feel that they were making fun of her.
He could only not dare to breathe too loudly as he carefully helped her with her makeup, hiding the dark circles under her eyes and her haggard face.
Luo Zhen's expression was normal, as if she didn't care about what happened last night.
After dressing up, she stood up gracefully and said calmly, "Let's go and offer tea to mother-in-law and pay our respects."
The four maids responded quickly and followed her to the main courtyard.
At this hour, the servants of Pei Mansion were already busy outside.
As Luo Zhen passed by, the servants hurriedly bowed and greeted her.
Luo Zhen had a kind smile and would talk to the elderly and give them some money.
Seeing that she was kind and generous, the servants also became attentive to her.
Although the news that Pei Ji did not enter Luo Zhen's room on the wedding night had spread among the servants.
They also talk about it in private.
But no one would look down on Luo Zhen at this time.
After all, she came from a wealthy family and brought so much dowry.
No matter what, I have the confidence.
Now she treats them so kindly and generously that everyone wants to show up in front of her so that they can get rewards.
"Second Madam, are you going to serve tea to Madam? Madam usually doesn't get up until the early hours of the morning. Second Madam, you're here early."
"Second Madam, please go back to your room and rest first, and come back when the time comes. This is how our eldest madam is. Second Madam is still a new bride, so Madam won't blame you."
…………
The servants chattered in unison, trying to please each other.
After listening to them, Luo Zhen said gently, "It's okay. Serving the mother-in-law is a daughter-in-law's duty. Since the lady hasn't woken up yet, I'll just wait outside."
The servants were silent for a moment, and then they rushed to praise her for being virtuous, filial and considerate.
When Luo Zhen walked to the main courtyard, the servants along the way knew how virtuous she was.
After she waited in the East Courtyard for an hour, everyone in the Pei family had already known of her virtuous reputation.
When Zhou heard this, her face turned green.
Virtuous?
It’s hard enough to pay respects every day, and I have to get up an hour earlier just to gain a reputation as a virtuous person.
But can this reputation be eaten, drunk, or exchanged for money?
What’s wrong with the second son’s wife!
Is it possible that a girl from a wealthy family is so humble?
Not only is she lowly herself, but no one even thinks about her.
She is virtuous, but what about her as a daughter-in-law?
If she continues to behave the same way, she will be criticized!
It would be fine if she just stabbed her in the back, but Xu would never let her go.
He will definitely compare her with the second son's wife.
From dowry comparison to filial piety.
Xu's words were harsh and would definitely degrade her to the dust.
In the end, even though she was scolded, she still had to wait at the gate of the courtyard at dawn every day like the second son's wife.
Moreover, judging from the "virtuous and filial" appearance of the second daughter-in-law, she is sure to cause some "virtuous" trouble in the future. As the eldest daughter-in-law, how can she not follow her!
"Mom, it's still early. I'll sleep a little longer and then get up."
Eight-year-old Pei Shuang'er is still lying in bed.
Zhou slapped her on the butt in annoyance and said, "Still lying in bed? You have to get up at 1:00 AM tomorrow!"
When Pei Shuang'er heard this, she immediately rolled over on the bed and cried, "I don't want to get up at dawn, I don't want to get up at dawn!"
Zhou finally managed to calm her daughter down, but her nine-year-old son Pei Yongming in the next room started crying again.
After the old woman and I pulled the two younger ones up and cleaned them up, the older one, Pei Duan, was still like a puddle of mud, reeking of alcohol, and couldn't be woken up even by shouting.
Zhou ignored him and rushed to the main courtyard with her two children. Seeing Luo Zhen and four maids standing there like five door gods, the anger in her heart began to rise again.
When Luo Zhen saw her, she smiled and bowed first, saying, "Sister-in-law."
Seeing her politeness and remembering her generous dowry, Zhou's sarcasm, which was about to come out, turned back a few corners. She stepped forward and pulled her aside, "Sister-in-law, can you please have a moment?"
But she pulled nothing. Luo Zhen avoided the side, obviously disliking her touch, but still smiling: "Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just say it here."
Zhou's sarcasm immediately ceased, and she smiled, "It's nothing. I just wanted to comfort you because I saw your sister-in-law was alone on her wedding night."
The smile on Luo Zhen's face suddenly disappeared.
At this time, the door of the main courtyard finally opened.
Zhou smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, please."
Luo Zhen felt angry and annoyed.
I was upset that I couldn't help but avoid it.
Last time I did this, I offended the Xu family, and this time I offended the Zhou family as well!
Really……
But she was also subconsciously aware of the smell of poverty and poverty that they had on them.
Besides, she has always had rules for her behavior since she was a child. When she interacts with others, no one will come up and pull her!
Can she be blamed for this!
Luo Zhen explained herself in her heart and tried to dispel her anger.
Nothing more, just a common woman.
When you come out later, just ask someone to deliver a gift.
Luo Zhen composed herself and walked in.
Xu liked bright rooms. There were no screens in the courtyard or the main hall, so one could see the end at a glance.
As Luo Zhen walked, Xu, who was sitting in the middle of the main hall, gradually became clearer from a dot.
It's so awkward and uncomfortable.
Luo Zhen patiently walked up to Xu and bowed, saying, "Daughter-in-law Luo greets mother."
"well."
Xu also knew what happened last night.
I thought Luo Zhen would make a fuss.
I didn't expect her to be so virtuous and considerate. Not only did she not cry or make a fuss, she also advised Ji'er to take care of herself.
Why are you coming to her so early today to offer her tea and pay your respects?
The Luo family's previous dissatisfaction with Luo Zhen also dissipated.
After drinking the tea offered by Luo Zhen, Xu reached out to hold Luo Zhen's hand as usual, but suddenly she remembered what happened last time and paused.
With the lesson just now, Luo Zhen immediately took the initiative to grab Xu's hand.
Mrs. Xu was even more satisfied. She pulled her to sit next to her, patted her hands affectionately and praised her, occasionally glancing at her: "Girls from wealthy families are different. They serve their mother-in-law in the most orderly manner. Unlike some daughters-in-law who come from poor families and are not outstanding in anything, they are still too lazy to go out. They come to pay their respects on weekdays and even come at a certain time. Tell me, is this fair? It's just that I, as her mother-in-law, can't bear to argue with her. I let her live a happy life in our Pei family. Look at her round arms. Tsk, if she were in someone else's family, she would have to shave off all the fat!"
Xu's face looked ugly.
Luo Zhen felt unusually happy.
Her four maids couldn't help but purse their lips.
The girl's mother-in-law's words are really harsh and vicious, but if this happens to someone else, not only can the girl vent her anger, but they can also feel better, which is the best thing.
The atmosphere in the main hall was not harmonious.
At this time, Pei Ji brought Shen Zhirou from outside the courtyard.
Shen Zhirou's walking posture was a little weird.
Anyone who has experienced it will know what is going on at a glance.
Zhou cried out, clasping her hands in front of her, and sighed, "Second Uncle is such a jerk. He's tortured Cousin Zhirou like this. Judging from her appearance, she must have been tormented all night. He really doesn't care about anyone."
Pei Yongming, who was standing beside her, was almost asleep. He was startled when he heard this and tugged at her sleeve: "Mom, is Uncle also teaching my cousin aunt martial arts?"
When Pei Ji had free time, he would always take Pei Yongming to practice martial arts.
Practicing martial arts was extremely painful, and his body was often covered with bruises. Pei Yongming was most afraid of it.
When he heard Zhou say that Pei Ji was tormenting Shen Zhirou, he suddenly perked up and came to his senses.
It feels good to have someone to suffer with.
Zhou laughed and said, "Yes, my uncle also taught my cousin martial arts, but the way she learned it was different from yours."
Pei Shuang'er leaned over and asked, "Mom, why is it different?"
Zhou rubbed her head with both hands and said, "That's not something you kids can ask or learn. If you ask again, I'll slap you on the palms!"
The two of them shrank their heads and didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Pei Ji and Shen Zhirou had already walked in.
Pei Ji bowed and said, "Mother."
Shen Zhirou followed Rourou and bowed: "Madam."
Then she turned to Luo Xiang Luo Zhen, took the teacup from the hand of the maid beside her, and respectfully held it with both hands: "Second Madam, I serve you tea."
On the wedding night, the man refused to enter the bride's room. Xu was actually dissatisfied with Shen Zhirou.
After all, Luo Zhen's mother's family is powerful and her dowry is generous, and she doesn't want to vomit out all the food she has already eaten.
However, Luo Zhen did not pursue anything and she was happy to turn a blind eye.
Sometimes, she is really scared of her second son.
She didn't dare to say too much about his affairs.
Xu pretended to be blind and deaf and said nothing.
Zhou remained silent, just staring at Luo Zhen.
Luo Zhen took the teacup calmly and said with a smile, "Cousin, please stand up."
When everyone heard her call Shen Zhirou like that, they thought she couldn't hold it back anymore and was finally going to make a scene.
She continued to smile and said, "I've known about my cousin before. I heard that she married at the age of twelve and has been serving her husband ever since. With such devotion and longevity, she must be more competent than me, a newlywed bride. In the future, I need your guidance so that we sisters can better serve our husbands."
Shen Zhirou was not surprised.
Last night, she was able to let someone come over and say such words, which shows that she is a soft knife.
On the surface, she will definitely do things so that no one can find any fault with her, and she will be praised for her virtue, and even spread her reputation for being virtuous, generous and sensible.
Become a role model for daughters-in-law in the city.
Just like she was when she was a girl.
Then she naturally wouldn't be arrogant.
The wife and concubine live in harmony.
If it were another man, he would definitely enjoy the happiness of having two wives and would never want to leave.
Pei Ji's face still showed no expression.
In the main hall, only Mrs. Xu was the happiest. She acted like a mother-in-law and said a lot of words of praise and admonition before letting everyone leave.
Luo Zhen caught up with Pei Ji, holding up her skirt: "Husband, please wait a moment, I have something to tell you."
