A car accident, our family of three crossed

It was only later that Song Ning learned that Wang Jin had resigned from his job as a constable in the yamen and was going to work as a martial arts teacher in the elementary school.

After hearing the reason why he quit his job as a constable, I couldn't help but praise him, "Not bad, he's such a good man who cares about his family!"

Hang Shuheng felt a little jealous when he heard her praising another man, so he came over and asked, "Why, don't I care about my family?"

Song Ning blinked her eyes before reacting and quickly said, "Of course you care about your family. You care about your family the most."

Although this statement may sound a bit flattering, it's fine as long as a naive man likes to hear it. Besides, it's the truth.

She had just praised another man. If she dared to say something to spoil the mood at this moment, she would probably have a bad night.

Ever since he separated the children and asked them to sleep in another room, this man has been torturing her even more, in many different ways...

Thinking of this, Song Ning glared at him coquettishly, which made Hang Shuheng a little confused.

The days passed one by one, and soon it was the end of December.

Zhou Ru, who was far away in the capital, had been living in dire straits in the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion for more than a month, and she could hardly bear it anymore.

They didn't suffer much, but the old lady of the marquis's mansion was a very particular person and required the younger generations in the family to pay their respects to her in her yard early every morning.

At the beginning, Zhou Ru couldn't adapt to the new schedule and was late several times.

Although she was not fined, the women in the room kept saying that she grew up in a small place, was ignorant, and didn't know the rules.

After hearing this, Zhou Ru really wanted to quit on the spot, but since the other party didn't mention anyone by name, she could only endure it.

The old lady even invited Zhou Huan back to the mansion on the grounds that Zhou Ru had not been taught by her mother to follow rules since childhood, hoping to use her status as his legal mother to pressure him to remarry.

The candidate was naturally arranged by her. She carefully selected someone who was easy to control, but she didn't expect that Zhou Huan would not buy it at all and rejected her proposal in person.

The old lady of the Marquis's Mansion appeared magnanimous on the surface, but she hated Zhou Huan in her heart. This illegitimate son was more promising than her son when he was young. Now that he was middle-aged, he had become a good businessman and even earned more than Marquis Cheng'en.

If the relationship with Zhou Huan could be eased and he could come back to serve the Marquis' Mansion, then all the property under his name would be returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

Others may not know, but as the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, she knows very well that the current Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion only looks splendid on the outside, but in fact, it is just an empty shell. Sometimes, even if you want to be extravagant, you still have to think carefully before you proceed.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just take the new styles that Jubao Pavilion under Zhou Huan’s name came out a while ago. When the noble ladies in Beijing were frantically buying them, the women in the Cheng’en Marquis’ Mansion could only watch helplessly.

Those jewellery are really beautiful, but also really expensive.

The Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion is not so far from being unable to afford expensive jewelry. However, there are many girls in the mansion, and it would be stressful if everyone had to buy one.

The women of the Marquis's family had also been to Jubao Pavilion and put pressure on the manager there to have them waive their bills. However, the manager refused to budge and made the matter known to everyone, causing the Marquis's family to lose face.

But even so, the Marquis' Mansion has not given up the plan to bring Zhou Huan back to the Mansion to work for him.

In order to separate the concubine's son from the mansion and let him live on his own, the old lady had never thought that such a day would come, so she did not do things in a very glorious way.

Now that Zhou Huan's business is flourishing, the Marquis' Mansion intends to ease the relationship, but after trying many times, Zhou Huan's attitude is always perfunctory, which makes the Marquis' Mansion feel like they have no place to use their energy.

Therefore, when they returned to Beijing to visit their relatives this year, the old lady found a way to keep Zhou Ru in the mansion for a short stay, in order to enhance the family relationship between Zhou Ru and Zhou Huan and his son.

However, the people in the mansion, including the old lady herself, were thinking about easing relations with Zhou Huan in order to gain some benefits from him, but at the same time, they all looked down on this illegitimate branch from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhou Huan and his son were very clear about this, and they turned a blind eye to the olive branch thrown by the Marquis' Mansion.

It was just a pity for Zhou Ru, who lived alone in the Marquis's mansion. She was fed up with listening to those two-faced women saying sarcastic words every day.

After saying good morning to the old lady's yard that day, I was invited to stay and have breakfast together.

The young ladies in the marquis's mansion were envious and jealous of Zhou Ru. She was obviously a daughter born of a concubine's family, so why were everything she wore and accessories better than those of the young ladies in the marquis's mansion?

Looking at the bracelet on Zhou Ru's wrist, the hairpin in her hair, and even the fabric she was wearing, each one was what they wanted.

With their own monthly salary, it is far from enough to possess all of these at the same time, but Zhou Ru can easily possess them all. How can they not be envious and jealous?

Since they can't compete in terms of money, they have to make up for it from other places.

Zhou Rong, the eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion, was one year older than Zhou Ru, so she called Zhou Ru, "Sister Ru, do you know that there is an interesting storybook that is popular in Beijing recently? It's called "The Gourd Story"."

"Hmm?" Zhou Ru raised her head and looked at the other party. Was Zhou Rong talking about "The Calabash Brothers"?

During this period, she stayed in her own courtyard in the Marquis' Mansion every day and seldom went out. She was not very aware of what was going on outside. Unexpectedly, "The Calabash Brothers" had become so popular in the capital?

Zhou Ru took a sip of tea to moisten her throat and was just about to say that she knew. Not only did she know, she also had a book in her hand!

But Zhou Rong on the other side didn't give her a chance to speak. She said with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, "You probably don't know, right? I guess so. You just came back from a small county town, so it's normal that you don't know what's popular in Beijing. The book called "The Gourd" that's popular in Beijing recently is very interesting. I had to ask for help to get a copy. If you want to read it, come back to my sister's yard and I'll lend it to you."

She thought that if she lent the storybook to Zhou Ru, if Zhou Ru had any sense, she would not borrow the storybook empty-handed!

With Zhou Ru's current outfit, even if she just took an item from her body, it would be good.

Zhou Ru didn't want to say a word now. She really took out "Hulu Ji" and smashed it hard on her face, and then told her that this "Hulu Ji" became popular from the small county town she mentioned.

But this was just a thought, and she would not argue with others over such a small matter.
