When Qi Peipei looked up at him, Lu Zhizhang suddenly knocked on the table hard.
"Didn't I tell you not to enter my study if you have nothing to do?"
"I didn't mean to enter, it was my mother..."
"Okay, Qi Peipei, can you stop using my mother as an excuse every time? My mother is not your excuse." Lu Zhizhang said coldly.
"And you'd better not follow and interfere in my affairs, and do your part."
After saying this, Lu Zhizhang just rolled his sleeves and left. ..
When he left, he just closed the door tightly.
They had been a couple for so long, when had they ever had such an argument.
Today is the first time.
Qi Peipei felt extremely sad. After Lu Zhizhang left, she lay on the table and sobbed.
The maid who witnessed the dispute between the master and his wife did not know how to comfort Qi Peipei. After all, there had never been any dispute between the master and his wife.
"Madam, please stop crying. What the master just said was just angry. He still cares about the madam in his heart."
Hearing the maid's consolation, Qi Peipei cried even more sadly.
care? That's probably something she can't get in her life.
However, although Qi Peipei's eyes were red from crying, he did not forget to bring a bowl of bayberry thirsty water to the old lady.
That was the old lady’s favorite drink, especially Lihuaxuan’s Bayberry Thirst Water, which was even more authentic.
Just asking her to buy the thirsty water like this, she was unwilling.
So she just said to the maid, "Ruo'er, go to Lihuaxuan for me to buy some bayberry water and bring it back to the old lady."
"Won't you come with me, madam?" the maid asked softly.
Qi Peipei shook her head, and she looked downstairs at the lanterns and people coming and going like daylight. I just feel that I have nothing to do with the excitement.
"I'm here waiting for you."
After hearing this, the maid said "Hello" and then left.
Qi Peipei just secretly thought, if she was not with Lu Zhizhang, where would her marriage be?
If... if he took the initiative to ask for reconciliation with Lu Zhizhang, what would he do? What will happen to myself?
She thought that Lu Zhizhang must be very happy to reconcile with her. After all, there are so many rich ladies in the capital, and there are many people who are better than her, and if he wants to marry again, there will be people flocking to him.
But soon, Qi Peipei realized that even though she still had unrequited grievances about this marriage, she probably couldn't take the initiative to mention it. After all, her natal family still relied on her husband-in-law.
So thinking of this, Qi Peipei couldn't care less about her grievance. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and didn't dare to think about it anymore.
But when she had just wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, she saw someone suddenly knocking on the door of the private room.
Qi Peipei thought it was Ruo'er who was back, so she said, "Come in, Yangmei is thirsty for water, have you bought it so quickly?"
However, what appeared at the door was a tall man in colorful clothes and a fox mask.
The man held a handful of Ruan in his hand, and then said with a smile, "Madam, let's listen to a piece of music. If it doesn't sound good, no money is required."
Realizing that the person who came was a stranger and a man, Qi Peipei finally felt scared. Although the face-faced man was wearing a colorful mask, he looked clearly a little scary. She immediately subconsciously wanted to call him, but soon She then found that there was no one around her.
"Come on..." Before she could call out, the man quickly stepped over with his hands and feet. Then the man only grabbed Qi Peipei and covered Qi Peipei's lips with one hand.
Under Qi Peipei's fearful gaze, the man only chuckled and said, "Madam, I've been paying attention to you for a long time. You and your husband must not be getting along. You are just a heartless man. Why do you care? Since he can find someone else." As a woman, you can also find other men. And if you really want to have children, I can have many, many children with my wife."
Hearing the other party's frivolous words and looking at the other party's face, Qi Peipei subconsciously wanted to push the man away. She just shouted in a low voice, "I don't need it! Get out of my way!"
It's a pity that she was covered by someone's lips, so when the other person covered her lips tightly, she couldn't say anything clearly.
And seeing that the man was going to continue to force her, Qi Peipei immediately tried her best to resist, but unfortunately the woman's strength was too weak.
She was quickly subdued by the other party. She didn't even care about being reserved and just bit the back of the man's hand with her teeth. It was a force that could almost bite off the man's skin and flesh.
The man felt the pain, and his patience had long been exhausted by Qi Peipei's struggle.
So after a moment, he just slapped the slap directly on Qi Peipei's face.
The man was obviously completely irritated.
Qi Peipei was dragged towards the window by her hair.
When Qi Peipei screamed, the tall man only questioned Qi Peipei in a low and sharp voice.
"Why, you all don't want me! A bunch of cousins! They're all a bunch of stinky cousins! The ones in the Flower House are you too! Go to hell! Go to hell!"
After saying this, the man just grabbed Qi Peipei's head and smashed it against the window frame.
Qi Peipei only felt unreasonable fear.
She suddenly remembered the case of robbing women that had caused panic in the capital recently.
The man in that case seemed to be wearing a fox mask and colorful clothes. He would drag the lonely girls walking at night into the alley and kill them.
Could it be that this is what he encountered? Thinking of this, Qi Peipei felt trembling for a moment.
"Help, Lu Lang, help me..." Qi Peipei tried to ask for help from her husband, but Lu Zhizhang had already left, who would come to save her.
When Ruo'er bought bayberry thirsty water from Lihuaxuan and returned to the teahouse, she arrived at the private room on the second floor, but she didn't see her wife.
Seeing that the pastries on the table had not been touched at all, she couldn't help but feel a little strange. There seemed to be a fishy smell in the room, and the windows were wide open. She subconsciously wanted to walk over, but she saw the waiter preparing towels and trays for packing. Stepped in from the outside.
As soon as he saw Ruo'er, he smiled attentively and said to Ruo'er, "Is this girl looking for the lady who was in this room just now?"
Ruo'er nodded, "Yes."
"The lady seems to be feeling a little unwell. She was in the arms of a young man just now and left with him."
"Leaved?" Ruo'er felt a little strange.
However, she thought that her wife would definitely not have contact with the foreign man, let alone such an intimate behavior. Maybe the master was worried that his wife was back again.
So she only responded.
The waiter asked again, "Girl, do you want any more of the pastries here?"
Ruo'er shook her head and said, "No more."
But she still felt a little weird.
Since the madam has left, why should I open the window?
She couldn't help but walk towards the window. The dark wood window didn't seem to have anything unusual, and outside was the lively market.
Watching the people coming and going below. She seemed to finally feel relieved.
She put her head back and left the teahouse directly.
In the Lu Mansion, Ruo'er took some bayberry thirsty water and couldn't help but ask the man in the mansion, "Are the madam and the master back?"
The man only whispered, "The master is back, but haven't you been following the madam? Why are you back alone?"
Hearing this sentence, Ruo'er's heart froze.
The waiter in the shop only said that the lady left with a young master who behaved very intimately, so she subconsciously thought that she left with the master.
But if that young man is not the master, then who is it?
When she thought of this, Ruo'er's face turned pale.
When the man saw Ruo'er's expression, there was nothing he didn't understand. He was about to say something to Ruo'er to go back and find someone.
But he soon discovered that Ruo'er's hands seemed a little red.
When Ruo'er saw him looking at her hand, she subconsciously looked at her hand as well. Only then did she realize that her right hand was covered in blood.
She didn't know when she got into it.
However, the door at the door is
After seeing the blood on Ruo'er's hands, he immediately detained Ruo'er.
He recognized it as blood.
In the Lu Mansion Buddhist Hall, Mrs. Lu was only kneeling in the Buddhist hall, playing with her rosary beads and chanting something.
But Lu Zhizhang stood aside and did not dare to say a word.
In the end, it was his mother who pulled him up, whether it was because of blood or contemporary filial piety, Lu Zhizhang did not dare to say a word.
Even though he knew in his heart that his mother deliberately made him stand here.
She didn't know how long she had been waiting, but suddenly the rosary beads in Mother Lu's hand suddenly broke off. In an instant, the rosary beads she had given to her, which were said to be consecrated by the eminent monk of Fafa Temple, all jumped to the ground.
Mother Lu only felt her eyelids twitch.
When Lu Zhizhang saw this, he went to pick it up.
However, Mother Lu looked at Lu Zhizhang with a cold face, "What are you still doing here? Your wife is outside and you leave her alone?"
Lu Zhizhang immediately defended himself and said, "Mom, I left Ruo'er for her. What's more, the carriage is waiting under the teahouse, she will be fine."
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, Mother Lu suddenly turned her head and looked at him deeply. After a long time, she said, "She is your wife! Not someone else! Why are you just like your father!"
When Mrs. Lu said this, a look of disappointment seemed to cross her face.
"What I told Peipei today. Did Peipei tell you?"
"I told you." Lu Zhizhang replied in a low voice.
"What do you think?" Mrs. Lu continued to ask.
"Mother, I want to wait a little longer." Lu Zhizhang whispered.
"Wait a minute? Zhang'er, I really don't know what you mean. When I first married this girl, although I felt that there was some trouble in their family and I didn't really agree with this marriage, I thought you liked me and I had nothing to say. Yes, besides, Peipei is indeed a good girl. There is really nothing to say about having her inside and outside the family. She is also filial to me, and she has never blushed with you."
