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

Lu Zhenzhen said confidently, "Who is this old ancestor? How could he be so petty as to treat his grandson's wife like that? Since he lets us choose, then he must really want to give us something as a reward! As the younger generation, we should just accept the elders' kindness without worry. What's there to be afraid of?"

After saying this, he smiled at Bai: "Besides, my granddaughter-in-law is a beauty after all! Old Ancestor, looking at my face, could you bear to punish me?"

These words made Bai even happier.

Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Sun, who were standing by, finally realized what was happening and couldn't help but feel annoyed.

But they were mistaken. What kind of person was the ancestor? How could she take their thoughts seriously?

It's okay to beat them just now, but it's also common practice to give them a sweet treat after beating them.

It's just that in the past few years, the old ancestor has been very aloof and never said a word, so the sudden outburst made them lose their composure.

Even though I was upset, I had to smile on my face.

Hu cheered up and readily picked three with Sun. Someone naturally sent the remaining three to Zhao.

The two sisters-in-law were unwilling to let Lu Zhenzhen be the only one to take the spotlight and win the old lady's favor.

They all came forward and started chatting with each other.

After a while, the old lady burst into laughter.

The commotion just now disappeared in an instant.

As for what everyone is thinking, no one knows.

After all this greetings, it was almost time for lunch, and finally, Old Lady Bai felt tired, so everyone took their leave.

After leaving Ruixuan Hall, the six people split into three groups, each following their mother-in-law and returning to their own territory.

Jin suppressed her anger all the way and took Hu back to the yard.

After dismissing the servants, he said, "As the eldest grandson's wife, where has your usual cleverness gone? You actually made such a big mistake in front of the old lady today! You're worse than a newly married woman from the fourth son's family! As the eldest grandson's wife of the marquis's mansion, the future consort of the clan, when did you become so superficial? A few pieces of fabric, a few pieces of jewelry, no matter how precious, how valuable can they be? Do you really need to be so cautious?"

"Have you forgotten the priorities? What are these things worth? How much are they worth? Do you know that although the master is now the prince, the old marquis is still alive! As long as the title of marquis is not confirmed, there will be no peace!"

"Why would you make such a stupid mistake at this moment? Is a concubine's daughter of a fifth-rank official worthy of your envy? Even if the old lady favors the fourth son and gives him a little more private money, so what? The old lady is not that foolish, can she still give him everything? According to the rules and regulations, the big share will be ours after all! Do you need to embarrass yourself over these small things?"

This barrage of scolding made Mrs. Hu blush and feel extremely ashamed.

He immediately knelt down and said, "Madam, you are right. I was too careless and impulsive today! I promise that I will never do that again in the future—"

Jin sighed and helped Hu up. "You are usually a smart child. Just figure it out! As for the one from the fourth family, you'll see. The old lady treats her like a new toy. Your third aunt is a good person and she's not good at disciplining a daughter-in-law! This girl from a small family has just arrived in our wealthy mansion. Just wait and see...."

Mrs. Hu understood and nodded repeatedly, "Madam is right. I will definitely be a good sister-in-law in the future and give in to my fourth sister-in-law in everything, so that she can remain innocent and simple!"

Jin finally smiled. "I'm glad you understand! This mansion will eventually belong to us! When the time comes, we'll separate them, and they'll become the side branches of the mansion! You've seen how the side branches live! In the future, they'll all come to please you and flatter you..."

This side of the second room.

Sun followed Qin halfway and then took her leave, saying that her brother got up too early in the morning and she was worried about him, so she had to go back to check on him.

Qin Shi didn't stop her. She just waved her hand and let her go before giving her a warning: "Stay away from the Fourth Elder's family these days. We should avoid getting involved with such a poor family—"

Sun sneered, "She comes from a humble family like that. If she hadn't been lucky enough to marry into our family, she would probably never see us in her lifetime. Why should I care about her?"

After saying that, he left.

Qin knew that her daughter-in-law was the most aloof and proud person. Since she said so, she would definitely stay away from Lu Zhenzhen in the future, so she felt relieved.

Lu Zhenzhen has already arrived at the Lan family's yard.

Lan's courtyard is a small courtyard with three entrances. It is not big, but it is quiet.

The front is where the third master Fu Heyin lives every day. The second main room is where Lan's family has daily banquets, rests and sits. As for the third room, it is naturally the residence of the third master's concubines.

Lan held Lu Zhenzhen's hand all the way until they entered the main room, and then she let go.

Maids had already brought a copper basin for washing and helped the two of them wash their hands before they sat down.

Lan was very amiable. "The fourth child went out early this morning. It's just the two of us at noon. Why don't you stay with me for lunch? You won't have to go back and cause trouble again."

Lu Zhenzhen naturally follows good advice.

Lan gave an order, and immediately a little maid went to the kitchen to pass on the message.

Another maid brought tea and snacks.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat opposite each other. Lan only invited Lu Zhenzhen to drink tea and eat snacks with a loving look on her face, without saying anything else.

Lu Zhenzhen couldn't match Lan's ability to keep her composure. After eating two pieces of dessert, she took the initiative to speak: "Madam, don't you have anything to teach me? I don't know if my behavior in front of the old lady today was appropriate. Did I cause any trouble for her?"

Her mother-in-law, Lan, will be her immediate superior in the rear house.

The time they have spent together is probably longer than that spent with Fu Zhiyi.

For the sake of future quality of life, it is better for two people to talk things out clearly.

Lan smiled and patted Lu Zhenzhen's hand. "The old lady is old, and she likes children who are lively, innocent, polite, and sweet-talking. As long as you don't make big mistakes, the old lady is a very tolerant person."

Lu Zhenzhen understood that in the future, she could do the same as today. As long as she pleased the old lady, she didn't need to worry about others.

After thinking about it, he became worried about something: "Just now, Madam blocked the words of the first wife in order to protect me. Did she offend the first wife?"

Although Lu Zhenzhen was not too worried, after all, in the book, the eldest wife was the Crown Prince's wife until her death, and never became the Marquis's wife.

There are also the old marquis and the old lady above us. It seems that the old lady is quite partial to the third wife, so there shouldn't be any big problem.

Lan smiled slightly and pushed the snacks in front of Lu Zhenzhen, indicating her to eat. "In our Marquisate, the old Marquis likes to see brothers who are friendly and respectful to each other, wives who are virtuous and children who are filial, and harmony. But in the eyes of the old lady, this title will belong to the eldest wife in the future. The second and third wives were also her children, so she is at a disadvantage."

"I always wanted to give more money to the second and third wives from other sources, to treat them equally. That's why I let your aunt take care of her early, and let your sister-in-law take care of the household."
