Chapter 127 I Don’t Want to Marry Him

After Pei Zhuo left, it was unknown how long it took before Zhao Qiyue moved his stiff legs.

After walking to the bed, she wrapped herself in the quilt, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably, and she began to cry.

They have known each other for such a long time, even if they are not lovers, they are still friends. Moreover, her feelings towards Pei Zhuo have long been different.

But the Queen Mother was right, there was no future for her and Pei Zhuo.

There aren't so many mutual consent situations in this world.

For the next half month, Zhao Qiyue was arranged like a puppet, and all kinds of tedious matters gave her a headache.

Logically speaking, a man and a woman cannot meet before marriage, but Zhao Qiyue doesn't care because she doesn't miss Shen Jie anyway.

That day, she went out for a stroll with nothing to do, and unexpectedly saw Shen Jie on the street. He was holding a bunch of women's things in his hands.

There are rouge from Huarong Pavilion, hairpins and head ornaments from Shanglin Garden, and ready-made clothes from Qiluo Shop.

Zhao Qiyue blinked slightly. She didn't expect that he was so thoughtful and would actually buy these things for her.

However, the next second, she saw Shen Jie turn into Wuyi Lane.

She knew the Shen family very well, and no one lived here.

Perhaps it was a woman's sixth sense that played tricks on her, Zhao Qiyue just followed him, wanting to see where he was going.

Not long after, Shen Jie stopped at the gate of a yard and knocked on the door. Then a woman came out and took the things in his hand.

It is obvious that these things were not bought for Zhao Qiyue.

More importantly, that woman was Lu Qiqi.

Zhao Qiyue bit her lip and her body trembled. She was angry, so Lu Qiqi didn't leave at all and was still kept here by Shen Jie.

She followed him, stood outside the yard, and peered inside through the crack in the door, her pupils trembling again and again. She saw Lu Qiqi holding her waist with one hand and touching her lower abdomen with the other, looking at Shen Jie tenderly.

Lu Qiqi's voice was neither loud nor soft, just enough to reach Zhao Qiyue's ears.

"Brother Youbai, the kid kicked me again today, and my waist is sore."

Shen Jie half-knelt on the ground, leaned over Lu Qiqi's belly and kissed her, scolding the baby in her belly: "Be good and don't bother your mother, okay?"

Lu Qiqi covered her mouth and laughed: "He is still young now, how can he understand."

Shen Jie stood up and took her hand and went into the house: "This is called learning by observation and hearing. Children must start from a young age."

The two walked into the house side by side, and Zhao Qiyue felt cold all over behind the door.

She returned to the princess's residence in a daze, not noticing the pair of burning eyes behind her.

Zhao Qiyue naturally couldn't swallow the fact that Shen Jie was keeping a mistress outside. She felt that this was a bargaining chip for negotiation with her mother, so she hurried into the palace the next day.

"Mother, Shen Jie didn't send Lu Qiqi away at all. He deceived me and you. Can you trust me to marry someone like that?"

Zhao Qiyue told the whole story indignantly, but Empress Lu's reaction was beyond her expectations.

She was still in a leisurely manner, and said quietly, "It's just a child, it must be passed under your name. Lu Qiqi won't get any status, so she's insignificant."

Zhao Qiyue suddenly felt something was wrong after hearing this, so he stepped forward, looked at Empress Lü and said, "You knew it a long time ago, didn't you?"

Empress Lu glanced at Zhao Qiyue, her lips opening and closing, "Shen Jie's attitude is very firm. He promised to send Lu Qiqi away, but he wants to keep the child."

Zhao Qiyue's back stiffened, and her body retreated backwards as if weightless. She shook her head in disbelief: "Mother, how could you do this to me? I won't marry him! I don't want to marry him!"
