My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row
Chapter 129: Visiting for questioning
Everyone in Tingtaoju was chanting Buddha's name.
You should know that before Lu Zhenzhen and the others came back, the Marquis' Mansion acted decisively and had already dealt with the manager.
The old marquis ordered all the servants to go to the front yard to see the fate of the servants who betrayed the marquis's mansion and embezzled the mansion's property.
The family of the head of the village was beaten with a stick, and then the whole family was sold to the coal mine.
Others who participated in the incident also had their homes confiscated and sold.
Not only that, the Marquis' Mansion also sent accountants to check the accounts of various farms and shops.
If someone is found to be guilty, his whole family will be sold out!
The older generation of servants immediately recalled the purge of servants in the Marquis' Mansion more than 20 years ago.
On that occasion, most of the respectable stewards in the mansion were sold out.
Now that the same thing is happening again, these elderly people are under tremendous pressure and feel insecure.
The atmosphere in the mansion was once again cleared up.
The servants of Tingtaoju were almost frightened to death.
Before Lu Zhenzhen and the others came back, I reflected on myself three times a day to see if I had done my job well and if there were any mistakes.
They were afraid that Lu Zhenzhen would come back and see that they hadn't done anything well, and that they would be sold out too.
If children born in a marquis's mansion like them were really sold off, they would have no way to survive.
The heart that had been hanging in the air finally settled down in my chest after I received the extra monthly salary.
They all expressed their gratitude for Lu Zhenzhen's generosity and kindness.
This operation of hitting someone with a stick and then giving them a sweet reward made everyone in Tingtaoju respect Lu Zhenzhen even more.
It was said that Lu Zhenzhen had just returned and had just called a few steady maids from Tingtaoju to ask about what had happened recently in the Marquis' Mansion. Nothing had been sorted out yet.
Hu's three sisters-in-law came to visit.
As soon as Mrs. Hu entered the courtyard, she ordered, "Quickly bring up the good tea and snacks from your small kitchen, and have your maids serve us well! Otherwise, we won't agree!"
As Lu Zhenzhen asked for snacks and tea, she asked inexplicably, "Sister-in-law, have you offended me by your tone?"
Mrs. Hu glared at Lu Zhenzhen: "You haven't offended me, you just gave us three sisters-in-law. No, you have caused so much trouble for the mansion!"
"Do you know that after you investigated the corruption case of the head of the manor and ignored it, you ended up implicating all the manors and shops under the Marquis's mansion?"
"These days, from the eldest master to the lower-level managers, no one has a free day. They're running themselves to pieces!"
"You two young people are so good! You are the ones who caught the person and discovered the matter! You also got a lot of good things from the house search! And then you just pat your butts and hide away in the farm to have fun! You made our old man so tired that he didn't worry for a few days——"
"Tell me, shouldn't you compensate us?"
Mrs. Hu now has very complicated feelings towards Lu Zhenzhen.
She was really impressed by Lu Zhenzhen. How come she could always stir up trouble wherever she went?
The problem is, every time she does something bad, it's not a bad thing.
Take the matter of Zhuangzi this time for example. If it were her, even if the old marquis really gave Zhuangzi as a reward, she would not take over so quickly.
Even if she took over, this was the old marquis's farm before, and she wouldn't dare to check the accounts so carelessly.
But Lu Zhenzhen dared to do it!
When they investigated, they almost found out that the person was a traitor and was trying to steal the Marquis's family members.
Then, the entire mansion will be checked thoroughly.
You know what! Although I'm a bit tired, I've found quite a few good things recently while raiding the homes of various managers.
It had only been about twenty years since the last major inspection of the Marquis' Mansion, and these cunning slaves had already embezzled a considerable amount of money and property from the Mansion.
These are all the money of the Marquis' Mansion.
If it hadn't been discovered, these cunning slaves would have benefited greatly!
From now on, the money in the Marquis' Mansion will all belong to their eldest wife, that is, she and the master!
These days, Mrs. Hu looked at the list of items to be confiscated and felt very relieved.
But I felt a little unconvinced and had some hidden worries.
After this incident, the old marquis praised Lu Zhenzhen even more, saying that Lu Zhenzhen was a lucky star!
He also said that Lu Zhenzhen was bold and careful, brave and resourceful, and was the best among his grandson's wives!
As soon as these words were spoken, the one who was hit the hardest was Hu's face.
She was the eldest grandson's wife and the future clan wife, yet she was overshadowed by Lu Zhenzhen.
Who would feel good about this?
Even the Sun and Zhao families felt ashamed.
What's more, this time we raided the leader's house, and everyone was busy and exhausted.
But only Fu Zhiyi and Lu Zhenzhen received praise from the old marquis, and all the things copied from the steward's confidant's house were given to them.
The total value of those things is almost several thousand taels of silver.
Now, everyone in the house probably knows that Fourth Grandma is powerful, but they don’t know the other grandmas.
When Lu Zhenzhen heard this, she was filled with resentment.
When I thought about the news I had just heard from the maids, I knew that Hu and the others were unhappy.
Lu Zhenzhen just wanted to curse in her heart.
Old Marquis, could you please stop causing more trouble? You are so old, why are you still so talkative?
Why do you like to complain and criticize others so much?
Or you just praise it and spread it throughout the city, what does it mean?
Are they afraid that the relationship between the sisters-in-law is too harmonious?
Sometimes Lu Zhenzhen really didn't understand the old marquis and the old lady.
As the head of a large family, don't you know that there are some things you shouldn't say carelessly? At least you should maintain a level playing field, right?
Even if it's not fair, at least don't mess around!
Every time he came up with such a brilliant idea, it didn’t matter to them since they were high up, but it was very difficult for her who was below him!
He was secretly complaining in his heart, but he didn't forgive anyone with his words.
"Sister-in-law, what you said is meaningless! I have really offended those people in charge! They now respect me as the fourth grandmother in words, but I don't know how they curse me behind my back!"
"I don't know how many times I sneezed on the way back! You can imagine how many people cursed me behind my back!"
"Besides, when it comes down to it, it's me and the Fourth Master who are blamed, while you guys are the ones who benefited! How come you're the ones who are to blame?"
"We've uncovered so many people who falsified accounts and embezzled money, and raided so many houses. How much silver was seized? Don't you have any idea?"
"The money and treasure we seized are all from the public, so everyone gets a share! It's not just me and the Fourth Master who benefited. Even if the Fourth Master and I got a little extra, it was the old Marquis who gave the order!"
"Let's take a step back and say, don't the Fourth Master and I deserve this little benefit? We'll take the blame and the criticism! We've only received this little, and you sisters-in-law can't stand it?"
"I just got back and I haven't even caught my breath yet! Are you sisters-in-law coming to accuse me?"
