"Okay, I'll go right away - don't worry about it?" Daman's face was full of confusion.

The couple is one body. If Fourth Madam has a bad reputation, it will implicate Fourth Master.

Why don’t you care?

Daman said he didn't understand.

But there is one advantage of Daman: whatever the master says is what he does, and he will do it even if he doesn't understand.

He nodded dejectedly, "I understand."

Just as he was about to leave, Fu Zhiyi spoke again: "Don't let this rumor spread outside the house, or I will hold you accountable!"

Daman was stunned at first, but soon understood.

He straightened his back and said, "Don't worry, Fourth Master. You said it shouldn't be spread outside, and not a single word of it will get out!"

After saying this, he retreated respectfully.

Fu Zhiyi and the others walked for half a day without turning a page of the book in their hands.

Someone from the Lan family came to ask him that he would be returning home the next day, and asked Fu Zhiyi to accompany Lu Zhenzhen back home no matter what.

Fu Zhiyi just remembered this.

Looking at the sky, although it is still early, we can go back to the backyard early to discuss the return visit.

Fu Zhiyi slowly stood up, leaving behind the book he had been reading for a long time without turning the page.

When I returned to Tingtaoju, it was in a mess.

Hu came to his senses and was still very reliable in doing things.

Knowing that Lu Zhenzhen would be returning to her parents' home tomorrow, they prepared the gifts early as usual and had them carried to Tingtao Residence for Lu Zhenzhen to review.

Tomorrow we will move directly from Tingtaoju to the second gate and take the carriage.

Lu Zhenzhen was checking the return gifts with a few maids.

The Marquis' Mansion is really generous. This time, the return gift was just prepared according to the examples of the previous sisters-in-law who returned home, but there are still quite a few good things.

Not to mention food, tea, wine and other ingredients, there are also several boxes of precious medicinal materials.

In addition, the pile of things that Lan had given him could almost fill up an entire carriage.

Lu Zhenzhen felt so distressed. These good things were actually going to be given to the Lu family for free?

Why?

The Lu family is not worthy!

Even though Lu Zhenzhen seems to be living a good life in the Fu family now, it’s because Lu Zhenzhen’s pursuits are different.

For any other woman, marrying Fu Zhiyi would be a dead end.

Not to mention the women of this era, even in modern times, how many couples divorce because the men are not capable of having children.

In this day and age, if a woman does not have offspring, it means she has no security for the rest of her life and no hope.

Otherwise, why would Lu Zhenzhen, a weak woman, flatly reject Fu Zhiyi's suggestion and choose to leave her hometown?

The Lu family forced Lu Zhenzhen to marry into the Fu family, which was almost forcing Lu Zhenzhen to die.

Now you still want to get a valuable return gift for free?

With Lu Zhenzhen around, forget it!

After the inventory was completed, Lu Zhenzhen immediately asked Dingxiang and the others to pick out the valuable items from the return gifts prepared by Hu and Lan.

Only the most common foods were left, the tea was replaced with ordinary tea, and the wine was changed from ten-year-old wine to new wine of the year.

After picking out the expensive gifts, Lu Zhenzhen still felt that it was too much and wanted to cut down a few more items.

Haitang wiped the sweat from her head and spoke cautiously, "Fourth Madam, we can't have any less! If we carry these things out, the reputation of the Marquisate will be--"

Lu Zhenzhen then remembered that this was not only about whether the bride was valued by her in-laws, but also about the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion.

After all, it’s such a big marquis’ mansion, and the return gift is too shabby. It would be embarrassing to tell others about it, right?

After thinking about it, Lu Zhenzhen decided to do something sneaky!

He immediately ordered Dingxiang to go to the warehouse where her dowry was stored and move out some of the worthless dowry items to replace the ones she had just picked out.

This practice is simply unheard of!

Haitang and the other girls were dumbfounded!

Dingxiang is a straightforward person and only listens to Lu Zhenzhen.

When she was asked to move her dowry, she actually did it.

He was picking things out in the warehouse with Lu Zhenzhen and her servant: "Fourth Madam, pick this one, it's not worth much!"

"Lilac, are you stupid? Even if it's worthless, at least it looks nice! It would be a great gift to give out later. Why pick something so bulky and worthless? Don't let them get away with it!"

"Okay—" Dingxiang nodded happily, struggling to dig out the least valuable dowry from the pile of worthless dowries.

The three girls, Haitang, Jasmine and Daphne, looked at each other in bewilderment.

They always feel a sense of alienation with Fourth Grandma because they are not weird or perverted enough.

At this moment, they want to break this barrier!

The three of them looked at each other and walked into the warehouse with a fearless attitude.

"Fourth Grandma, please leave this matter to us. The three of us do have some good eyesight, and we'll make sure the ones we pick out for you are the least valuable!"

The three of them patted their chests and expressed their opinions.

Lu Zhenzhen nodded in appreciation: "Then I'll leave it to you! If you do this job to my satisfaction, I'll reward each of you with two taels of silver!"

After hearing this, the three of them became more motivated.

Lu Zhenzhen was pushed out of the door, a couch was placed in the yard, snacks and tea were served, and two little girls were asked to serve on the side.

The three of them rushed into the warehouse with great enthusiasm.

When Fu Zhiyi came back, he saw the famous scene of four big girls, covered in dust, each carrying a large pile of "garbage" out of the warehouse and presenting their treasures to Lu Zhenzhen.

"Fourth Madam, look at this pile of mine. It looks like a lot, but it's not worth five taels of silver in total."

"Fourth Madam, you have to look at these in my hand. They look decent. If they are tidied up a little, they will be very impressive. They are no more than six taels."

"And me, Fourth Grandma, look at this pile. It takes up space and is heavy. If we pile them up like boxes, no one would know what's inside. They'd think they were valuables!"

……

Fu Zhiyi looked at the garbage that filled half the yard and wondered if he had come to the wrong place.

When he learned that half of the yard full of garbage was the gift Lu Zhenzhen prepared for her to take back to her parents' home tomorrow, even someone as shrewd as Fu Zhiyi couldn't hold it in any longer.

His face almost broke apart, and it took him a while to find his voice: "Did you prepare these things specially for your return home?"

Lu Zhenzhen nodded, very proudly saying, "Fourth Master, you see, I specifically pick things that are flashy, take up space, and are worthless! My main goal is to pick out valuable and expensive things. Once you enter our Tingtao Residence, don't even think about leaving! Especially don't even think about going to the Lu family!"

Fu Zhiyi took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to pinch his philtrum, and looked around to see that the yard was full of people.

Finally, he held back and said coldly: "Come in with me——"

Go into the inner room first.

Lu Zhenzhen didn't take it too seriously and instructed Dingxiang and the others, "Alright, pack all this up quickly, arrange it nicely, and put it in a box. I'll take it to the Lu family tomorrow."

After giving the order, he followed him into the inner room.

When she went in, except Dingxiang, the other three maids looked at the inner room worriedly.

The Fourth Master looked angry just now.

Don't you know how to quarrel?
