After Being Reborn and Regaining Her Identity, the True Heiress Is Spoiled in the Seventies
Chapter 141: Beginning to Doubt
Chapter 141
When Pei Jing's indifference was noticed, Wu Lei was confused about how his wife had offended him, so his originally good mood was also disrupted.
"Brother Pei, then I won't bother you anymore, I'll just go back first." No matter if he couldn't make a profit elsewhere, Pei Jing was still a person of status, and Wu Lei had always held an attitude of making friends instead of making enemies whenever possible regarding people and events.
Pei Jing sent him out the door before coming back in.
The two little ones had just been fed, and when they saw his contemplative expression, Zhi Xia asked him, "What's wrong?"
The conversation between the two men had just happened at the door, so Zhi Xia had heard some of it, and she could clearly sense that it was different from usual.
Pei Jing sighed and reluctantly recounted what had happened when he went to deliver red envelopes at noon today.
Although it is impolite to talk behind someone's back, hiding things like this from his wife could easily lead to unnecessary troubles, especially if that neighbor woman had any malicious intentions.
Zhi Xia was a little angry. Her man had been touched by someone else, even if it was just his hand.
She sullenly pulled his hand. "Where did she touch you?"
That dissatisfied look was like a child who had candy snatched away, which was very cute.
Pei Jing rubbed her head and smiled, "I washed my hands as soon as I got home, washed them several times."
Only then did Zhi Xia cheer up, but she still felt a little awkward about his actions. "Don't rub my head anymore in the future. I sweated all over giving birth to the child, and I can't even take a bath or wash my hair. Just one day and I feel like I stink, I don't know how I'll get through this month."
"You don't stink at all, Zhi Xia still smells good." Pei Jing felt like he was telling the truth. Since they met, Zhi Xia always had a subtle scent about her that never disappeared. Now there was also a milky smell because she was nursing, similar to the baby's.
Although not stewed pork trotters soup, pork elbow soup was still good.
But after eating two pieces at noon and having it again for dinner, it felt too greasy.
Zhi Xia shooed Pei Jing, who was staring at her eating, out of the room. She then threw the meat and soup from her bowl into her interspatial ring, and asked the genius doctor for a postpartum meal set.
Looking at the balanced mix of vegetables and meat in front of her, as well as a small bowl of supreme bird's nest porridge, Zhi Xia was quite envious.
Look, this is how people should live!
As a favored imperial concubine, she and her husband had twenty-eight dishes per meal, some dishes were purely ornamental. She could ask for whatever she wanted to eat anytime, and didn't need to do anything herself.
With a friend like this, Zhi Xia could occasionally enjoy such treatment, as long as she avoided people.
After eating, she also ate a snow crystal fruit.
Previously when eating this fruit she only felt it was delicious, but after giving birth, eating it gave her body a warm feeling, especially in the abdomen, and she didn't feel as uncomfortable. It had a restorative effect.
In her opinion, it would be best if she didn't need anyone to look after her during the confinement month.
But she couldn't say these words, nor could she explain.
Sitting the confinement on the first day, being surrounded by people did not feel good at all, and was not as convenient as being home alone.
When Pei Jing came back, there was only an empty bowl left on the table, not to mention bones, not even a speck was left.
Pei Jing's expression was complex. "You ate it so clean? Are you full? There's still porridge in the pot, do you want to drink some more?"
Zhi Xia quickly shook her head. "No more. After a whole bowl of meat soup, I'm stuffed. By the way, tell your mother tomorrow not to make meat dishes. I want to eat something light. This is too greasy."
Pei Jing nodded, but did not hurry out. Instead, he sat down on the edge of the bed.
The sudden kiss left Zhi Xia somewhat stunned, and it took her a while to respond.
Because of her big belly, the number of times the two had been intimate was actually not many, and it stopped directly in the later stages of pregnancy.
Sometimes she could also sense his urges, but Pei Jing was a man with strong self-control. Zhi Xia wanted to help him but didn't dare let him know too much, so it had always been vague, with occasional small intimacies.
But such an unprompted deep kiss still left Zhi Xia a little confused.
Pei Jing was still very calm. Even though he didn't taste any meat flavor in her mouth, but rather a light sweetness, similar to fruit, his expression didn't show the slightest change.
"Sleep for a while, I'll take the bowls out. Since you don't want to eat meat then you won't eat it. We'll eat what's left." Pei Jing soothed her.
Zhi Xia nodded and watched him leave.
When Wu Lei returned home, the anger on his face was clearly out of control. He grabbed Zhang Lin and asked, "Tell me the truth, what exactly happened between you and Brother Pei at noon?"
Perhaps used to throwing tantrums, Zhang Lin didn't even have the slightest embarrassment. "What happened? Wu Lei, you're just a coward, a pathetic turtle, someone took advantage of your wife, and you're not angry at all. You still went with a smile to please others. Yet you come back and get mad at me. Are you still a man? Do you have any guts..."
With a torrent of scolding, Wu Lei was not the kind to indulge her. The two immediately got into a scuffle.
After all, a woman was no match for a man's strength. Zhang Lin charged into the room with disheveled hair, yelling, "You bastard, fucking beast, if you have the ability, kill me today. If you can't kill me, we're not finished..."
...
Hearing the curses and a child's cries from next door, Granny Zhou was somewhat embarrassed. "It seems like they're fighting next door. Should we go over to stop them?"
After all, they were living in someone else's house. It didn't seem right to pretend not to hear, but that female landlord didn't seem like someone easy to deal with, and she was afraid of causing trouble if she went over.
"It wouldn't look good for Comrade Wu if we went over, let's pretend we didn't know." Pei Jing said.
An ZhiXian quietly nudged him, "So cold, could they have broken up?"
He had heard that Pei Jing and Zhi Xia knew the landlord, which was how they managed to rent this house.
"Since you have the leisure to mind other people's business, it looks like your injury has recovered completely. Did you buy your ticket? Can you leave tomorrow?" Pei Jing really wanted to get rid of him.
An ZhiXian pouted and ignored him.
He was leaving tomorrow, so he should take this opportunity to look at his grandnephew and grandniece more while he could. At least it pleased his heart, they were cute.
The noisy quarreling next door lasted for more than half an hour before ending with Wu Lei leaving home.
Just when they thought it would quiet down, Zhang Lin didn't seem to want to give up. She ran to the front door to cast aspersions, saying someone was alienating the affection between them as husband and wife, attracting a crowd of onlookers.
When Zhou Nan went out in the morning and came back, she had an ugly expression on her face.
Just after she went out, someone said to her that one shouldn't be too excessive, housing was hard to rent now, and they only rented to them because they were friends. But no matter what, they shouldn't have tried to alienate the couple, causing them to fight.
Hearing what Zhou Nan said when she came back, this Zhang Lin really had first class skills in twisting right and wrong.
Zhi Xia's health had also improved a lot. She had originally planned to go back in a couple days, but didn't expect such things to happen in just a few days.
