Chapter 45 Actively Rejected
Outside the city where Qianhu was located, when Luo Zhen passed by, the moon had already risen to the zenith.
When the small flagman guarding the gate of Qianhu Division heard that it was Madam Pei Ji who came, he was shocked and hurried in to report.
He stopped for a long time before coming back to invite Luo Zhen in.
Luo Zhen got off the carriage, took the food box from the maid and walked into the Qianhu Office.
It was very spacious inside, with racks for weapons on all sides.
I think this is a place to practice martial arts.
Walk through and you will reach the main hall.
There were many boxes in the main hall, and the table was full of files. Pei Ji was tidying up the boxes.
Luo Zhen looked at this and felt somehow relieved.
"Husband~"
She called out softly.
He raised his face.
Unlike her tenderness and affection, his expression was as cold as ever: "It's so late, why are you here, Second Madam?"
Luo Zhen placed the food box on the table. "My husband hasn't been home for a few days. I'm worried that he's too tired to take care of himself, so I made your favorite meal and brought it to you."
As she spoke, she opened the food box and was about to take out the food inside. Pei Ji frowned and said, "This is a guard room with important areas. Don't defile it. Put it back."
Luo Zhen's face froze, she put the lid of the food box back, and said with a forced smile, "Zhen'er was careless, I hope my husband will forgive me."
Pei Ji's expression did not soften: "You are not here to deliver food, what's the matter?"
Luo Zhen felt better when he asked about it. She nodded and said, "I can't hide anything from my husband. I really have something to ask..."
She sighed, tears streaming down her face, and said, "My sister is old enough to talk about marriage. I've been busy with her wedding these past two days. I even held a banquet and invited the ladies to come to the mansion to see her. I don't know what went wrong in the process, but the ladies are dissatisfied with my sister. I went to their house to inquire about it, but I was coldly received. When I came back, mother and sister scolded me. They threw teacups at me and beat and killed my two maids..."
As she spoke, the grievance in her heart came back and she began to sob.
Pei Ji looked at her coldly: "Second Madam, do you want me to go back and help you scold mother and sister?"
Luo Zhen was startled and quickly shook her head: "Zhen'er definitely didn't mean that. Mother and sister are both straightforward people. They must have been instigated to do this."
Pei Ji asked, "What do you want to say?"
Luo Zhen's eyes were red, and she wanted to tell Shen Zhirou, but she held back.
Although she knew that Shen Zhirou must have been behind this, she had no evidence and speaking out would make her seem unreasonable.
She only said: "Zhen'er doesn't mean anything else, but I just can't figure it out. I was out there arranging my sister's marriage, and when I came back, mother and sister changed their expressions. There is nothing that can't be explained. But no matter how I asked, mother and sister only said that I knew what I had done, but I really don't know anything..."
She wiped her tears and said, "That's why Zhen'er came to find her husband. She wanted to ask him if he could mediate the situation. Please ask my mother and sister on Zhen'er's behalf what happened. This will help Zhen'er understand her mistakes and correct them in the future."
Pei Ji was already impatient and nodded, "I understand."
He was still taciturn, but Luo Zhen was satisfied with his agreement.
She smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "Zhen'er thanks you, husband."
She looked at him and tentatively reached out to hold his hand: "Husband, tonight..."
Pei Ji looked at her holding his hand, then he pulled her in front of him and asked, "Second Madam, are you lonely?"
He was smiling, but there was clearly mockery in his eyes.
Luo Zhen's mind was filled with the infinite pampering and love he showed when he kissed and coaxed Luo Fu in the dream.
She moved closer to him as if possessed by some mysterious force.
Pei Ji was stunned for a moment, and his already impatient heart became even more disgusted. At this moment, he didn't even have the thought of humiliating her, so he raised his hand and pushed her away.
Luo Zhen was pushed back two steps and almost fell. She looked at Pei Ji in embarrassment.
His expression returned to indifference: "It's getting late, Second Madam, please go back first."
The intoxication just now disappeared instantly.
Luo Zhen's face flushed and then turned pale, and she forced a smile and said, "Okay, my husband, you should also take care of your body and rest early. Zhen'er will go back first."
She forced herself to finish her words, then turned and ran out.
Tears rolled out of my eyes.
I felt regretful for a moment that I had done such a thing.
For a moment, she blamed Pei Ji. She had already taken the initiative, but he still pushed her away!
In the dream, he didn't treat Love like this.
Love had never taken the initiative, but the fact that she didn't reject his touch already made him excited.
But that was in the previous life.
That idiot Luo Fu has already entered the palace.
Is he still thinking about her?
That idiot is just a pretty face. He and her have only met twice in this life. How can there be any feelings between them?
How could he, the future emperor, be so superficial?
Luo Zhen clutched her handkerchief tightly.
No, it shouldn't be.
He is currently on duty at the Qianhu Suo, and he shouldn't do such things.
He was just being polite.
She was just forgetful for a moment.
Besides, he had already promised to help her reconcile the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and sister-in-law and sister-in-law.
This has nothing to do with that idiot.
When he walked out of Qianhu Suo, Luo Zhen had adjusted his mood.
She shouldn't be disturbed by dreams and think too much.
The person she wants to deal with is that bitch Shen Zhirou!
