Chapter 46 Luo Zhen is tortured
It was already late at night when Luo Zhen returned to Pei Mansion.
After washing up, she lay down on the bed. Just as she was half asleep, someone called out in her ear, "Second Madam, it's time to get up."
She was very sleepy, frowned and ignored him, turned over and continued to sleep, and the man actually reached out to push her.
"Second Madam, it's time to get up!"
Luo Zhen was furious. He suddenly turned over and sat up, hitting the man on the head.
The man was hit and stepped back, covering his head with his hands while screaming in pain.
Luo Zhen was about to curse, but she found something wrong.
The candlelight shone on that person, and it was not her maid or companion.
But it was the old nanny beside Xu.
Luo Zhen was stunned for a moment and suddenly felt overwhelmed.
Sure enough, the old maid covered her head and yelled, "Second Madam is so arrogant that she even beats people around my mother-in-law!"
Luo Zhen quickly got out of bed and explained, "Mom, you misunderstood. I thought it was the maid next to me who was ignorant and hurt you by mistake. Please don't be angry."
As she spoke, she hurried to the dressing table and took out a hairpin and handed it to the old maid.
The two maids standing at the door listened and watched, feeling extremely disheartened.
They have been serving her since they were young, so she can beat them or scold them whenever she wants.
But he can try to please such an old lady like this.
There are also Qiuwen and Cailu, who have been serving her since they were young and still have face in front of her, but they died for her and she didn't even ask a question.
What good can there be in following such a cruel and cold-blooded master!
Inside the room, the old maid who had taken the hairpin finally softened her expression, but she still maintained a reserved demeanor: "Don't be so rude, Second Madam, you're being a bit lazy. It's already this hour, and you're still sleepy. You should go and greet Madam."
Luo Zhen was stunned for a moment and looked at the sky outside. "I usually pay my respects to my mother-in-law an hour in advance, but it's still dark today. Isn't this too early?"
The old maid said, "Madam has made the rule that we must go at this time. Are you trying to shirk your responsibility?"
When Luo Zhen heard this, she knew that Xu was still angry and was trying to torture her.
She was also full of resentment.
But if she doesn't go, it will definitely make Xu's estrangement from her even deeper.
When Pei Ji comes back, it will seem like she is disrespectful to her mother-in-law.
Anyway, Pei Ji has already agreed and he will probably be back today.
Didn’t Mrs. Xu want to torture her?
Then she would just bear it so that her son could come back and see how she treated her.
Thinking of this, Luo Zhen nodded and said, "Mom, you misunderstood. It is natural for me to be filial to my mother-in-law. How could I refuse? Mom, please wait a moment. I will wash and change my clothes and go over.
The old woman was a little surprised to see her being so obedient, thinking that she was deliberately delaying time.
Unexpectedly, she actually washed and changed her clothes obediently and then went to wait at the main courtyard gate.
This stop lasted for two hours.
Chen Zhirou and Zhou came together to pay their respects to Xu. They saw her leaning against the wall with a pale face, and her usual dignified demeanor was completely gone.
A happy smile flashed in his eyes.
I heard that she went to the Qianhu Suo to look for her cousin last night, but what was the use? She was sent back that night.
This Miss Luo comes from a good family, but her brain is not very good.
She is totally insignificant in her cousin's eyes, yet she always overestimates her own abilities. It's really funny.
"Sister-in-law, if you're not feeling well, don't come so early."
Because Luo Zhen had offered gifts before, Zhou had a better impression of Luo Zhen. Seeing her like this, she tried to persuade her.
She also admired the second son's wife. She came from a wealthy family, but she had a good and comfortable life and chose to suffer.
Luo Zhen was full of disgust towards Zhou and even wanted to tear her apart.
As the dream showed, she was the one who stole her dowry.
She should have thought about it earlier. How could such a greedy person not be jealous of her dowry?
She was also the culprit of the dowry scandal.
She had clearly established a good relationship with Xu and Pei Yu, but it was because of her, the culprit, that the bitch Shen Zhirou took advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, causing her to be targeted by Xu and Pei Yu.
Now he is still pretending to say such things.
But even though she thought so in her heart, Luo Zhen did not show her stupidity. She just suppressed her emotions and said with a wry smile: "I don't want to either, but my mother-in-law sent someone to call me at midnight, so I couldn't disobey."
Zhou was not surprised to hear this.
She knew that yesterday's incident was such a big deal.
She also asked someone to inquire, and it turned out that it was the maidservant beside Luo Zhen who was careless and told others about Pei Yu stealing the dowry.
Didn't Xu and Pei Yu take their anger out on her?
The maid was immediately dragged away and beaten to death.
The maids around her had just arrived, and the servants of the Pei family would not tell them about this.
I guess her sister-in-law, who comes from a wealthy family, doesn't know anything yet.
Zhou shook her head in her heart and began to sympathize with her sister-in-law.
She looks more approachable.
In the past, she was always scolded by Xu, but now, there is finally someone to accompany her.
Zhou cast a sympathetic look at Luo Zhen and sighed, "The door is open, let's go in."
At this moment, Shen Zhirou came over with a worried look on her face to help Luo Zhen: "I'll help the second grandma in."
Luo Zhen felt even more hatred in her heart. She pushed her hand away and said calmly, "Thank you, cousin. I can walk by myself."
Shen Zhirou looked aggrieved and could only follow her with her head down.
The three of them went in one by one and greeted Mrs. Xu.
Zhou and Luo Zhen were about to sit down.
Shen Zhirou went to Xu's side as usual to massage her legs.
Suddenly, Mrs. Xu said, "Zhirou, go sit down and let the second daughter-in-law come."
Shen Zhirou paused and looked at Luo Zhen in embarrassment.
Luo Zhen was stunned.
She had been holding on for more than two hours, her legs and feet were sore, and she was waiting to come in and sit down to rest, but Xu said this.
He also wanted her to come over and massage her legs.
Luo Zhen reacted and her face turned red.
She was filled with shame and anger, and did not move for a moment.
Seeing this, Mrs. Xu immediately slammed the table and scolded, "It's natural for a daughter-in-law to serve her mother-in-law. You're so precious just because I asked you to massage her legs? Zhirou is my son's woman. She serves me every day and has never shirked or slacked off. She's not even my son's legitimate daughter-in-law, yet you can do this."
But look at you, a proper daughter-in-law, pretending to be filial on weekdays, making people outside think that Miss Luo is a role model for daughters-in-law, but in fact, you are nothing but bullshit! "
Zhou looked at Luo Zhen with sympathy.
Luo Zhen stood there in shame and anger, her chest heaving.
She wanted to turn around and leave, but she had already stood there for more than two hours and Pei Ji had not come back yet. If she left at this time, wouldn’t she have stood there for two hours in vain!
Luo Zhen was in a dilemma, but she finally suppressed her shame and anger, responded with a humble look, and walked over to massage Xu's legs.
Shen Zhirou sat in her seat.
Seeing Luo Zhen lowering her head and massaging Xu's legs, he felt very happy.
Luo Zhen was filled with humiliation and only hoped that Pei Ji would come back.
