Chapter 47 He had almost prepared the betrothal gifts, but his marriage was cut short
Pei Ji returned home three days later.
Shen Zhirou's maidservant always waited at the door from time to time. As soon as Pei Ji came back, she hurried to greet him and said with a smile: "Second Master is finally back. Our aunt has been waiting for you."
Pei Ji went to the west courtyard.
"Cousin~"
When Shen Zhirou saw him coming back, she hurried out of the house and threw herself into his arms: "Cousin, why did you take so long to come back? Zhirou missed you so much."
Pei Ji was in a good mood and let her hug him for a while before pushing her away and going into the house to change clothes.
Chen Zhirou followed him closely, and hurriedly took over to change his clothes. She looked at his face and asked, "Cousin, what good things happened to you at Qianhu Suo? Why do you look so happy?"
Pei Ji's eyes were filled with joy: "The handover matters have been almost completed. I will be able to go to the capital in a few days."
That means being in the same city with her.
Then, the distance between him and her will gradually narrow.
One day, he will get his darling back!
She is her wife!
The tenderness on Shen Zhirou's face froze.
Although Pei Ji didn't say it, she knew what he was thinking.
How could she forget?
What else could the joy in his eyes be other than related to that person?
He was still thinking about that person.
But that person has already entered the palace, could he...
Do you still want to take your wife?
Shen Zhirou's heart was filled with loneliness and jealousy. She forced a smile and said, "Congratulations, cousin."
Although she felt uncomfortable, she could see that he seemed to be thinner than before. She couldn't help but said with heartache: "Since the work is done, cousin, you should stay at home and recuperate for the next few days. Zhirou can also help you to replenish your body."
Pei Ji nodded, changed his clothes, washed his hands by the basin, and said, "I'll go to the East Courtyard."
Chen Zhirou was just taking the dishes handed in by the maid when she heard this. Her expression froze and she said hurriedly, "Cousin must be hungry after just coming back. It's not too late to go over after dinner. I'm afraid Second Madam hasn't prepared the meal yet."
Pei Ji did not stop.
After being left out to dry for a few days, I guess the second wife suffered a lot.
After arriving in Beijing, I still need to use her family connections, so it’s not good to ignore her.
Pei Ji walked to the east courtyard.
There were lights and candles everywhere in the room, but it seemed inexplicably depressing.
The maids and old women standing in the porch in front of the door all had dark and numb expressions on their faces.
Like dummies.
There was still faint crying sounds coming from inside.
Seeing him coming, the dummies seemed to come alive and hurried forward to pay their respects.
Pei Ji walked into the bedroom.
Luo Zhen sat with her back to him at the desk under the south window. On the desk were piles of paper covered with densely written words.
Two maids stood on one side with their heads down. When they saw him come in, they just bowed and walked out with their heads down.
But this couldn't hide the scars on their faces.
I think the crying sound just now was made by them.
Pei Ji knew what was going on at a glance.
She suffered a lot outside, but when she came back she took her anger out on the maidservant beside her.
This Miss Luo's true nature was revealed too quickly.
Pei Ji walked over leisurely, picked up a piece of paper on the table, looked at it, and said, "Has Second Madam been interested in Buddhist studies recently?"
Luo Zhen said nothing, but just lowered his head and continued copying Buddhist scriptures.
Pei Ji had no patience to coax her, so he threw the paper back on the table and said, "Since Second Madam is so busy, I won't bother her anymore."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Luo Zhen quickly threw down her pen, stood up and tried to grab his sleeve, but her legs were weak and she fell forward as soon as she stood up.
Pei Ji had no choice but to reach out and grab her arm and lift her up.
Luo Zhen threw herself into his arms and cried, "Why did you come back just now?"
Pei Ji frowned, but he endured it and didn't push her away: "What's wrong, Second Madam?"
Luo Zhen's heart was full of resentment.
During these three days, she had no time to spare because of the torture she had caused by Xu and Pei Yu.
After finally helping Xu to sleep, she came back to copy Buddhist scriptures.
People like Xu are so crude and filthy that they can't even read. How can they understand Buddhist scriptures?
But she couldn't help writing.
She has suffered so much, she must persevere, otherwise all her efforts will be wasted.
Fortunately, she finally waited for Pei Ji to come back.
But at this time, the people around her should have told her all the suffering and grievances she had suffered in the past few days.
But she chose to beat them, which would have been even worse if Pei Ji had seen it.
Luo Zhen had no choice but to tell what had happened in the past three days.
She cried pitifully.
He had indeed suffered a lot and looked very haggard.
Pei Ji felt no pity in his heart, only endless disgust and hatred.
He looked at her.
In fact, I really want to ask her why she wanted to marry him?
Why did he want to ruin his marriage with Fu'er?
He had clearly almost prepared the betrothal gift for Fu'er.
Just a few days, just a few days!
He was about to bring the betrothal gifts to marry his Fu'er.
But there happened to be this mother and daughter who came intruding!
His Fu'er!
His Fu'er!
Just left him like that!
"Husband, husband......"
Luo Zhen looked at Pei Ji's expression which suddenly became terrifying and full of anger, and she felt a sudden fear in her heart. For some reason, she felt as if she would be ripped open by him in the next moment.
She stepped back in fear: "You, what's wrong with you?"
Pei Ji closed his eyes, suppressed the murderous intent in his heart, and released his hand, saying, "You've suffered. I'll take care of Mother. It's getting late, go to bed early."
Luo Zhen watched him leave, and as if a drowning person had regained his breath, he suddenly collapsed and sat down, supporting himself on the ground with his hands.
Did she actually think he wanted to kill her just now?
But she asked herself that she had done nothing wrong in front of him, so why would he want to kill her?
Luo Zhen found it unbelievable and slowly stood up while holding onto the stool.
Maybe she was wrong.
Pei Ji said that he would deal with Xu.
It shows that he cares about her.
Besides, everyone saw how well he treated her a few days ago.
He showed that expression, probably because he felt sorry for her.
Thinking of this, Luo Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief.
The fear in my heart gradually turned into joy.
The hardship of these three days was not in vain.
Pei Ji went to the martial arts room in the front yard.
At this time, the lights in the front yard had been turned off, so he drew out his long sword in the dark and chopped it on the weapon rack.
The weapon rack collapsed with a loud bang, but he did not stop. His moves were fast and fierce, and he practiced tirelessly until early morning.
He prodded the ground with his knife, knelt on one knee, his back soaked with sweat.
The red light of the rising sun fell on him.
Sweat pooled from his chin and dripped into the shadow on the ground.
His ferocious heart gradually calmed down.
No problem.
Fu'er only left him temporarily.
He is about to go to the capital, and he will be able to get Fu'er back in the future.
He just needs to be a little more patient, a little more patient...
