Chapter 227 The Scumbag Reveals His True Colors
The four drunks who were originally ready to make trouble in the bridal chamber were all frightened after seeing Xie Jia's current appearance. They screamed shrilly and turned around frantically to rush out.
However, they overestimated their own bodies after drinking.
In panic, the four of them quickly tripped and fell heavily to the ground.
Fortunately, Xie Jia didn't dare to drop anything this time, and there were no debris on the ground. Although the four of them were hurt, they were only minor injuries.
Soon, they rolled and crawled, staggering out.
Pei's mother, who was sitting in the main room and watching silently, couldn't help but come out when she heard the screams of the four people.
At this point, she still didn't realize the seriousness of the situation, so she asked in confusion, "What's going on? What are you doing? Rong'er, what's wrong with you? Why did you make such a fuss?"
The four of them were originally frightened by Xie Jia's appearance, but after coming out and feeling the cool breeze, the drunkenness subsided a lot, and their minds became a little clearer.
Thinking back to Xie Jia whom he had just met, Pei Rong's handsome face quickly became distorted.
He suddenly turned his head and glared angrily in the direction of the new house. His lips trembled, but he couldn't say anything.
How could he tell his mother that the legitimate daughter of the Xie family whom he had spent so much effort to marry had turned out to be a she-devil?
The other three looked at Pei Rong with sympathy. They had never expected that the legitimate daughter of the Xie family would become like that!
No, could such an ugly woman really be the legitimate daughter of the Xie family?
Wasn't she fine when she was in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice before?
Because of Pei Rong, the three of them also went to see the excitement at the Xie family that day.
However, the three of them quickly recalled that Xie Jia was wearing a veil that day, so his face could not be seen at all.
The three of them thought about it, and soon someone asked, "Brother Guangyao, is the woman in the bridal chamber wearing a wedding dress really the legitimate daughter of the Xie family?"
"Yes, we haven't seen the daughter of the Xie family, but you have. Did you see her face clearly just now? Could she be someone else?"
"Xie Jia's legitimate daughter wouldn't turn out like that."
Pei Rong pursed his lips tightly and didn't want to say anything.
Of course he saw the face clearly and was very sure that the person was Xie Jia!
After all, they had been very close to each other and loved each other very much. How could he not recognize Xie Jia's face?
But he couldn't understand why Xie Jia became like this.
It was obvious that when he sent Xie Jia back to the Xie Mansion, she was still fine!
Also, that day in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, Xie Jia's face was fine.
It's not even a month yet, how come she looks so different?
Pei Rong was still puzzled, but his mother was getting anxious. She asked anxiously, "What are you talking about? What happened to Miss Xie's face?"
She looked at Pei Rong, and seeing that he had a gloomy face and refused to speak, she looked at his three friends and said, "If you guys are unwilling to speak, then I will go and see for myself!"
When Pei Rong heard this, he immediately became anxious.
He grabbed his mother, fearing that Xie Jia's current horrible appearance would make her angry and hurt herself.
"Don't worry too much, mother. I just suffered some minor injuries, nothing serious. It's getting late, I'll help you go back to the house to rest."
He didn't dare let his mother see Xie Jia's appearance at this moment, so he hurriedly helped her back to the bedroom.
Although Pei's mother was worried, she did not insist because today was a happy day. She waited until Pei Rong left before quietly instructing the servants to secretly keep an eye on the situation in the bridal chamber to see what was going on with Xie Jia.
After Pei Rong left, he immediately asked his three friends to keep the matter a secret.
The three of them naturally agreed.
However, it was already late and there was a curfew in the capital, so the three of them could only rest in the guest room in the front yard.
At this moment, their minds were full of Xie Jia's terrifying face, so how could they have the energy to make trouble in the bridal chamber?
As soon as they left, Pei Rong calmed down, took a deep breath, and walked back into the new house.
In the bridal chamber, the four maids were already in a panic, but Xie Jia gently touched her belly and remained calm.
She believed in Pei Rong's love for her. They had made a vow to each other under the moonlight. It was impossible for Pei Rong to betray her.
Now that she is pregnant with Pei Rong's child, it is even less likely that Pei Rong would betray her.
Moreover, although her father was dismissed from office, his connections are still there. Unless Pei Rong can climb up to a higher position, he will never dare to let her down!
Thinking of this, she became calmer.
So when Pei Rong walked into the bridal chamber with a gloomy face, he saw Xie Jia raise his head and stare at him with his only remaining eye.
This scene was so creepy that Pei Rong couldn't help but feel his heart beating wildly, and he almost wanted to rush out again.
But he tried hard to endure it.
He took a few steps forward, but finally stopped five steps away from Xie Jia, unable to move his legs anymore.
"What's wrong with your eyes? Why are they covered?"
Xie Jia suddenly had an idea.
Although her right eye had lost its pupil, it was wrapped in gauze. As long as she and the maids didn't tell Pei Rong, he wouldn't know.
This way, we can delay it for some more time.
She removed the gauze after Pei Rong completely accepted the fact that she was disfigured.
By then, even if he knew the truth, he probably wouldn't be too resistant.
So she said sadly, "I was attacked and my eye was injured. The doctor said I need to cover my eye with gauze and take it off after my eye recovers."
The four maids were shocked when they heard this.
However, they quickly reacted and guessed Xie Jia's plan.
So they all lowered their heads, not daring to say anything, and were even more afraid that Pei Rong would see clues from their faces.
Pei Rong had been secretly paying attention to the reactions of several people and did not miss the astonishment on the maid's face.
He looked at Xie Jia's face, which was covered with thick makeup powder and gauze covering her right eye, and he had a more and more bad premonition in his heart.
He immediately showed worry and concern, and said distressedly: "Then take off the gauze and let me see your eyes. I feel so bad that you are injured like this."
Xie Jia thought of the horrible appearance of her right eye, and her heart skipped a beat. She decisively reached out and touched her belly: "Pei Lang, I'm pregnant."
Pei Rong's heart, which had been hanging in the air, suddenly sank.
He had already known from Xie Yun that Xie Jia was pregnant, otherwise he would not have come to propose marriage and would not have been so anxious to marry her.
But he never expected that Xie Jia's appearance would be ruined and his right eye would be injured!
That old scoundrel Xie Yun cheated him so badly!
Xie Jia definitely didn't get injured recently. It's very likely that she was injured long before he proposed to her.
Otherwise, why would Xie Yun be so anxious? And why would he deliberately make excuses to prevent him from seeing Xie Jia?
I just hate that he is so stupid. He thought of countless possibilities but never thought that Xie Jia would be disfigured!
He is already a Juren, and in the future he will become a Jinshi and serve as an official in the court!
How can Xie Jia, who looks like a ghost, be his legal wife?
The more Pei Rong thought about it, the angrier he became. He could no longer face Xie Jia's disgusting face, so he turned around and walked out without saying anything.
Xie Jia was stunned!
What does Pei Rong mean?
He knew she was pregnant, but he didn't even say a word and just left her like that!
Xie Jia stood up suddenly and wanted to chase after him angrily, but he suddenly felt a pain in his stomach!
"Ah——" She shrank back in pain and couldn't help but reach out to Pei Rong, "Pei Lang, my stomach hurts so much..."
Pei Rong paused slightly, then rushed out even faster.
Xie Jia stared at his resolutely departing figure, his eyes widening in disbelief: He actually... How could he be like this...
She clutched her stomach in pain.
In the darkness of the night, the black starling stood on the branch, watching everything coldly.
