Chapter 78 Everyone in the room was pulling him
Luo Zhen's expression changed instantly, and she asked in disbelief, "She's pregnant? Pregnant?"
The servant said, "Madam asked Grandma to go to Aunt Shen's courtyard as soon as she came back, and she has already sent someone to call the Second Master back."
Luo Zhen's face looked extremely ugly.
It was clear what Xu was thinking.
She just fell into a disadvantage.
Soon after, that bitch Shen Zhirou got it, and she took advantage of the situation and made a big fuss about it.
But she couldn't hide!
Luo Zhen clutched the handkerchief tightly, feeling extremely resentful of the injustice of heaven.
How could that bitch Shen Zhirou get pregnant before her!
Aunt Zhao patted Luo Zhen's hand from behind and said, "Don't panic, grandma. It's just that the concubine is pregnant. Does her pregnancy mean that the Second Master will be successful?
The only one who can stand beside the Second Master and support him is you, Grandma. No matter what she does, she can never surpass you. Show your authority and don't show any fear. The Second Master has made up his mind."
Luo Zhen felt much more at ease after hearing this.
He got off the carriage and went straight to the yard where Shen Zhirou lived.
Two maids were standing in front of the gate of Shen Zhirou's yard.
Luo Zhen recognized him as someone close to Xu.
The two of them must have received instructions. Seeing her coming, they said coldly, "Second Madam, please go in quickly. Madam has said that if anything happens to Auntie's belly, Second Madam will be held responsible!"
Madam Zhao said coldly, "Whether or not I'm not responsible is not for you two old women to say! Watch your mouths! If you hear anything unpleasant again, even if you belong to the Madam, you won't escape punishment!"
When Luo Zhen was in the Luo family, he liked to let the people around him charge forward. Now he has adapted well to the situation. He didn't even look at the two old women and walked in with a dignified attitude.
In the bedroom, Shen Zhirou was lying on the bed.
Both hands were bandaged.
Xu sat by the bed.
The eldest son's wife, Zhou, stood aside.
Luo Zhen bowed politely and said, "Mother-in-law, sister-in-law."
Xu snorted coldly: "You still have the nerve to come back? Look at the good things you have done!"
Luo Zhen thought about what Zhao Ma said, and also thought about Pei Ji's defense of her. She felt very confident and stood up straight and said, "I don't know what you mean by this, mother-in-law. I've been working hard to deal with people outside for my husband, so how can I be so embarrassed to come back?"
She had been soft and flattering since she got married, but now she was so tough. Xu Shi was a little unresponsive. She was stunned for a moment before she angrily said, "You, is this how you talk to your mother-in-law?"
Luo Zhenli stood straight and said, "My wife did nothing wrong and was just talking to her mother-in-law normally. I don't know why she's so angry."
Mrs. Xu pounded the bed in anger. "Don't look at me like I don't know what's going on in your mind! Do you think that because my son is protecting you, you can do whatever you want? I'm telling you, I know my son's heart is with Luo Fu, not you, Luo Zhen! I just saw that you were of some use, so I gave you some favors, but you're so proud of yourself that you don't even respect your mother-in-law. You'll be in trouble sooner or later!"
Xu was furious and started talking without thinking.
But it hit Luo Zhen right in the heart.
Her face changed.
Seeing this, Madam Xu quickly seized the opportunity to attack, "You're just a wealthy family name. The most important thing for a woman is to carry on the family line for her husband's family, but look at your belly, there's not even a hint of movement. The continuation of the family line still depends on our Zhirou. Let me tell you, Zhirou is pregnant with my second son's eldest son. If you dare to have any evil thoughts, I will be the first to not forgive you!"
Xu stepped on Luo Zhen's taboos at every step.
Luo Zhen was so angry that her face turned blue, and she couldn't utter a word for a while.
Nanny Zhao also frowned, but at Luo Zhen.
I told her before that she got so angry just by a few words from her mother-in-law. She is too weak.
It looks like Mrs. Xu still has a lot of years to live, but someone like the eldest girl will get sick from anger sooner or later, and I'm afraid she won't live longer than her!
She was unhappy with Luo Zhen in her heart, but she still had to stand up to defend her. She said to Xu, "What does this mean, Madam? Could it be that because the concubine got pregnant first, Madam wants the Second Master to favor the concubine over his wife?"
Xu glared at her and said sternly, "What business has an old woman like you have over the master's words? I haven't settled the score with you yet, and now you're jumping out of this! Although my daughter-in-law is not a decent person, she is still polite to me, her mother-in-law. But since you came, her temperament has changed drastically, and she has harmed Zhirou like this. I don't believe it's not you, an old woman, who is behind this!"
Come! Come! Drag this old man away and beat him to death! "
As soon as she opened her mouth, she threatened to fight to the death. Zhao Ma's face changed and she immediately went to look at Luo Zhen.
Fortunately, Luo Zhen was not too confused. She knew that if even Madam Zhao was gone, she would be left with no one to rely on. She quickly protected her and said, "Mother-in-law beat my two eldest maids to death, and now she wants to beat to death even the madam my mother gave her. Doesn't she really take our Luo family seriously?"
There was a quarrel.
The maid outside called out, "Second Master is back."
Both sides looked towards the door at the same time.
As soon as Pei Ji stepped in, Xu Shi started wailing, "Second brother, you're finally back! If you hadn't come back, your wife would have killed your offspring!"
Luo Zhen suppressed her anger and said hurriedly, "My husband, you're back just in time. You have to take charge of Zhen'er. I just found out my cousin is pregnant. How could I harm her? I've accepted my mother-in-law's beatings and scoldings, but I can't admit to slandering me like this!"
Pei Ji was annoyed by their noise.
Even though I am about to have offspring, I don’t feel any joy or happiness.
At this moment, Shen Zhirou, who had been lying on the bed as if unconscious, woke up. She looked over here and shouted with red eyes: "Cousin..."
Pei Ji walked over in silence. Before he could say anything, Xu followed him and took Shen Zhirou's hand, shouting, "Second brother, look, look, not long after you left, Zhirou's hands became like this. I heard people around her say that your wife deliberately tortured her and made her peel walnuts with her bare hands, which is why they became like this.
Later, Zhirou was asked to wash a mountain of clothes, which contained all kinds of dirty and smelly servants' clothes. If it weren't for the baby in her belly who saved her, you probably wouldn't have seen her again!
Your wife keeps saying that I slandered her? Did Zhirou do this herself? Did she do that mountain of clothes herself because she was bored?
Luo Zhen was a little flustered, but since she had done such a thing, she had already prepared herself mentally for it, so she was not speechless.
"Don't blame me, mother-in-law. I didn't force my cousin to come to my place to peel walnuts or wash clothes. She told me, a nanny, that she respects me and wants to serve me. This service can't just be lip service, right?"
She looked at Pei Ji again, her eyes red and aggrieved, "My husband, you've seen how I've treated my cousin since I got married. Today, I was busy going out to do something because of your husband's instructions, so I was a little careless and didn't have the energy to stop my cousin from being so attentive. That's why things turned out like this. I, I really didn't mean it."
Shen Zhirou secretly resents herself, struggles to get up, leans against Pei Ji, and doesn't say a word, just sobs, waiting for Pei Ji to ask.
The others present were also waiting to see how he would deal with it.
Pei Ji sat there expressionlessly.
But I am exhausted both physically and mentally.
Everyone in the room was pulling at him, and they were even more tired than he was from running around outside handling cases.
He couldn't help but think about it.
What would happen if his marriage to Fu'er went as usual?
Since he had Jiaojiao in his arms, he didn't have to worry about getting her.
When he is outside, he only needs to focus on promotion.
At home, her mother and Pei Yu knew how much she meant to him, so they wouldn't cause trouble.
Shen Zhirou may have been sent away.
When he returned home, he was greeted by only the warmth of soft jade and sweet voices.
It would never be what it is now.
But it’s not too late.
The emperor is not worthy of her.
He would always get his Jiaojiao back.
The days of your dreams will always come true.
