My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row

Those two pieces of crabapple red material are really good stuff.

It was a festival gift given to the old lady by her aunt who married into the Shu Palace as a princess. It was said to be new material that the weaving bureau had supplied this year.

The Princess of Shu only got four horses and gave half of them back to the old lady.

When the material was delivered that day, they had all seen it before. It was so dazzling and colorful that even though they had seen many fine things, they couldn't help but marvel at it.

Because there was not much material, it would not be good to give it to anyone, so the old lady kept it.

Who would have thought that it would be given to Lu Zhenzhen so easily today?

Not to mention the three wives, the three young ladies all looked unhappy.

Mrs. Hu was the first to recover. She was stunned for a moment before a smile appeared on her face, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

Second wife, Mrs. Hu, was the most proud and arrogant. Although she was unhappy in her heart, she thought that she was born in a noble family. No matter how good the material of Begonia Red was, it was just so-so. There was no need for her to lower her status to compete with Lu Zhenzhen, the daughter of a fifth-rank official.

He just snorted coldly and turned away.

Zhao became anxious.

She was quite self-aware. The third master she married was a concubine's daughter, and among the three daughters-in-law, her status was the lowest.

In the past, if there were any good things in the house, they would be picked out by Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Sun before it was her turn.

That would have been fine, as she believed she could not compare to the noble births of the Hu and Sun families.

But Lu Zhenzhen is just the concubine's daughter of a minor official. Why should she be superior to him as soon as she got married?

Yesterday at the tea ceremony, the old lady gave me such a big box of gifts without hiding them away.

She almost couldn't hold back her anger at that time, because on the second day after her wedding, when she had tea, the old lady only gave her a pair of gold bracelets inlaid with southern pink beads.

Why is it that when it comes to the fourth brother's family, only one box is given? They are all the same grandsons!

When he returned home that night and asked someone about it, he learned that the box contained not only a set of gold head ornaments inlaid with red rubies, a set of gold head ornaments inlaid with emerald sapphires, but also a gold necklace inlaid with various gems, pearls and jade. It was said that the gems and pearls on it were as big as the tip of a finger and were worth a fortune.

Zhao was so angry that she couldn't sleep well all night.

I was emotional when I met Lu Zhenzhen today.

The incident of the tea ceremony and the meeting gift yesterday was still on her mind, and when she saw with her own eyes that the old lady gave the crabapple red material only to Lu Zhenzhen, Zhao Shi couldn't hold back and her defenses broke down.

"Grandfather has indeed found a new granddaughter-in-law and has completely forgotten about us old granddaughters-in-law! We have been coveting such precious material for a long time, but Grandfather was reluctant to give it to us! Now he has only given it to Fourth Brother's wife! It's obvious that Grandfather only has Fourth Brother's wife in his heart and eyes now!"

The tone is so sour that you can squeeze water out of it.

"Sister-in-law, you were the granddaughter-in-law that our ancestors were most proud of! Now you have been outshined by our fourth brother's wife—"

Mrs. Hu's face suddenly turned dark.

"Alas, Fourth Sister-in-law, why don't you teach your sister-in-law how to please the old ancestor so that he favors you? It's okay that you offer more tea and gifts than the rest of us sisters-in-law, but you only think of these good things for yourself! You should teach your sister-in-law to learn from you, so that you can please the old ancestor and give her more good things in the future."

As he spoke, he faked a smile and tried to pull Lu Zhenzhen.

Lu Zhenzhen smiled at Zhao and said sincerely, "Third sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to teach you, it's that you can't learn it!"

Zhao's voice suddenly rose: "Why can't I learn it? Is it possible that you can do it but I can't?"

Lu Zhenzhen looked Zhao up and down. "The old ancestor likes me because I'm good-looking, honest, sincere, and never gets jealous. I don't stir up trouble, and I don't envy others! Everything else is fine, but how can you imitate my face, sister-in-law? Do you think you'll have to go back to your mother's womb and be reborn again?"

She was only pretty, and her ordinary appearance was a sore spot for Zhao.

At this moment, Lu Zhenzhen pointed out that she was not as good-looking as her, and was jealous, stirring up trouble, and envious. How could Zhao bear it?

He burst into tears, covered his face with a handkerchief and rushed out.

By the time everyone came to their senses, Zhao had already run far away.

Fortunately, Jin reacted quickly and immediately ordered, "Why don't you follow your Third Grandma? If anything happens, you'll be in trouble!"

The maids and servants who served Zhao finally came to their senses and ran after him.

Jin finally came to her senses, with a look of impatience on her face: "This is not a good rule in the Fourth Family. After all, she is still my sister-in-law. How can you, a sister-in-law, talk to her like that?"

Lan hurried to the rescue: "Sister-in-law, the fourth child is still young! She's a bit naive, but I like her personality. Our fourth child is a bit reserved, and she's just the right match for us! Don't be so reserved with her!"

"Besides, the fourth sister's wife just married into the family, and the third sister-in-law is already saying some sarcastic things. She's really a bit shallow."

"At most, I can have someone send something to the third sister's place and apologize to her."

Jin didn't expect Lan to be so protective of her new daughter-in-law, and she glanced at her.

Seeing that Lan was smiling slightly and had no intention of giving in, he didn't know what to say.

After all, she is just the aunt, not Lu Zhenzhen's mother-in-law.

Seeing that the two daughters-in-law had resolved the matter, Mrs. Bai finally spoke: "To be honest, it's all my fault. I'm old and don't think things through as carefully as I should. I saw that the fourth daughter-in-law was being loved so much that I only cared about her and forgot about you."

"You don't have to pay for this, I'll do it. I just happened to get a box of exquisite jewelry a few days ago. It's beautiful and perfect for you guys."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room could no longer sit still. Starting from Jin, they all stood up and apologized.

"Where does this old lady put her daughter-in-law (granddaughter-in-law) when she says this?"

Mrs. Bai simply turned around and instructed Zhenzhu, "Go and get the box that was sent from the Prince of Shu's mansion the day before yesterday, and divide it equally among the young ladies."

Pearl took the order and left.

Others didn't dare to express their anger.

Lu Zhenzhen secretly glanced at Mrs. Bai's expression. She looked like a very amiable old lady, with a smile on her face. However, that smile made people feel creepy.

Pearl soon came out holding a box.

When the box was opened, it contained twelve seasonal flower hairpins, which were exquisitely crafted and the petals and stamens on them were lifelike.

Zhenzhu held the box and went to Mrs. Hu first, letting her choose first.

Mrs. Hu didn't dare to choose, she just kept saying that she was the eldest sister-in-law and let her younger brothers and sisters choose first.

Second Madam Hu naturally didn't dare to take the initiative, so she followed Mrs. Hu's words and passed the hot potato to Lu Zhenzhen.

Everyone was watching, and Lan didn't dare to remind them, so she just looked at Lu Zhenzhen with concern.

Lu Zhenzhen stepped forward and thanked Bai first: "Thank you for the gift, ancestor! Thank you also for your generosity in letting me choose first. I won't be polite then."

Lu Zhenzhen, who had no idea what politeness was, picked out three hairpins she liked: peach blossom, osmanthus and hibiscus.

She casually put it on her head and walked in front of Mrs. Bai to show her: "Grandma, please help me see, who looks better, the flower hairpin or the granddaughter-in-law?"

Bai was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She nodded and asked, "You are so brave. You are not afraid of me? How dare you be the first to challenge me?"
