Chapter 98 A Substitute
"Cousin, are you in a lot of pain? Why do you look so ugly?"
Shen Zhirou was crying so hard, but she was always paying attention to Pei Ji's condition. When she saw that his face suddenly looked wrong, she became even more worried and frightened. She hurriedly asked, and when she was about to rush to urge someone to find a doctor, her arm was suddenly grabbed by Pei Ji.
He said with his eyes bare: "Go! Go and find out..."
He suddenly stopped talking halfway.
Chen Zhirou asked hurriedly with red eyes: "Cousin, what do you want me to find out? Just tell me and I'll do it for you!"
Pei Ji didn't say anything, but smiled, then lay down again with exhaustion.
He wanted someone to find out what had happened in the palace.
But in the palace, even he had to find a way to get in, and getting information was extremely difficult.
Last time, I was just lucky enough to get a little bit of information.
He had tried his best to make use of this piece of information, but he still failed.
What can the women in this room do?
Pei Ji gasped and closed his eyes in pain: "All of you get out, don't make me say it again."
Everyone present knew that he must be angry when he said this, and they dared not disobey.
Wiping her tears, Mrs. Xu said, "Then, let's wait outside for the doctor to come. Son, if the pain becomes unbearable, please call us."
Shen Zhirou was somewhat reluctant to go out.
Luo Zhen was furious when she saw this, but her face was filled with worry: "Cousin, please don't cry. My husband needs to rest now. If you cry like this, even if you don't care about your husband, you should think about the child in your belly."
She sighed and said to Zhou, "Sister-in-law, please help me hold her up. She's pregnant and she's always very wary of me. I don't dare touch her."
Zhou watched the incidents in the second room happen one after another, which was even worse than the dead ghost in her own room who was suffering from the plague. She was just watching the show lately.
But at this time I had to listen.
It wasn't because of Luo Zhen's words, but because she was afraid that Pei Ji would get angry again and hurt himself, and then her good days would be over.
Zhou supported Shen Zhirou, and the group walked out and sat in the outer room.
With Xu and Pei Yu around, the quarrel started again after a while. It was not until the doctor came, examined Pei Ji's injuries and prescribed medicine that the quarrel stopped while Xu and Shen Zhirou were busy decocting the medicine.
Luo Zhen told the maid to take good care of Pei Ji, and she went back to her own courtyard on the pretext of stewing soup.
After dismissing the maid, Luo Zhen couldn't help but say, "Pei Ji didn't commit any serious offense this time. Seriously speaking, he was trying to help the people. He shouldn't have received fifty canes. Did he offend someone?"
Zhao Ma nodded and sighed, "That's right. To be able to receive fifty strokes of the cane, my son-in-law has really offended someone. If he doesn't have a strong backer, his career will..."
Luo Zhen's face wasn't looking too good either, but she still said confidently, "It's okay, he's just temporarily frustrated, he'll get back on his feet later."
Aunt Zhao didn't understand why she was so convinced, so she could only agree, "Young lady, you're right. My son-in-law is a talented man, and he'll be successful sooner or later. He's also strong, so even if he was beaten with fifty sticks, it's only a superficial wound. He'll be fine after a few days of recuperation."
Luo Zhen turned the jade bracelet on her wrist, not knowing what she was thinking. After a while, she said, "This might be a good opportunity."
Madam Zhao asked, "What did the young lady say?"
Luo Zhen looked at her and asked, "How is the teaching of that woman in the outer house going?"
She suddenly asked about that woman, and Aunt Zhao immediately knew what was going on. She said quickly, "It's almost done. If you want to make her happy, you can give it a try."
Luo Zhen nodded: "Pei Ji doesn't want us to be around, so we can only let the maids serve. That woman is just right. Mammy, please call her over and go now."
Nanny Zhao responded quickly, turned around and went out, hurriedly heading towards the outer house.
About half an hour later, she came back with a girl.
Although she was a strange girl, Zhao Ma was a favorite of the Second Wife's grandmother, and the gatekeeper did not dare to stop her.
She took the girl to see Luo Zhen without any hindrance.
Luo Zhen looked at the girl.
Although she looked much better than the first time I saw her, she still seemed timid.
She was dissatisfied, and only then did she realize that although her half-sister was stupid, at least she was not so unpresentable.
"Mammy has been teaching you for so long, why are you still so timid? What are you afraid of?"
Luo Zhen frowned and said to the girl, "We are not a vicious family. Don't let your eyes be weak or flickering. If you really can't change, just act like a fool who doesn't understand what people say. Just let your eyes be a little confused and clearer. Come on, try it."
She was dissatisfied with the girl's incurable cowardice, and she personally taught her according to how Love behaved in front of her.
The girl had no choice but to study hard.
After struggling for a while, I can only say that it is unsatisfactory.
At this time, the maid from the outer room came in and said, "Grandma, the tonic soup you ordered is ready."
Luo Zhen said, "Bring it here."
The maid responded and soon came over with a tray.
Although Luo Zhen was still dissatisfied with the girl, she was quite wary of Shen Zhirou's belly. She also felt that this was a rare opportunity, so she decided to let the girl go.
She said, "You go hold it, follow me."
The girl quickly responded and took the tray from the maid.
Luo Zhen took her to the front hall.
