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

Zhao was humiliated and felt very unhappy. "That yard is already empty and no one lives there. It would be a waste to leave it there! Sister Yue and the others are still young. Why can't I let my cousin stay there for a few days?"

"Besides, guests are welcome! If we don't let guests stay in our fine courtyard, wouldn't it damage the reputation of our mansion if it got out?"

Mrs. Hu sneered, "Although we say that guests are guests, we still have to consider what kind of guests they are! Since she's your cousin, and if she thinks the place I arranged for your cousin isn't good enough, I won't hesitate to let you vacate your yard and let your cousin live there!"

"But you can forget about living in those courtyards in the mansion that my sister lives in!"

Zhao was anxious: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this? Opening a courtyard and assigning two people to serve it doesn't take any effort on your part, so why are you so stubborn and won't give in?"

"Besides, we don't want the yard you prepared for Sister Yue and the others! Don't worry, we only want the yard where Fifth Sister lived—"

This fifth sister is Fu Zhishu, the only daughter of Fu Zhiyi's generation.

Although she was born out of wedlock, she was favored because she was the only daughter.

Fu Zhishu is Fu Zhiming's sister. Before Fu Zhishu got married, she had the best relationship with Fu Zhiming.

That's why Zhao asked for the courtyard where Fu Zhishu had lived.

Hu was so angry at Zhao's shameless look that she laughed.

Fu Zhishu was quite favored because she was the only daughter of her generation. The courtyard she lived in before she got married was one of the best among the courtyards in the back.

Now he still maintains the appearance that Fu Zhishu had before she got married, hoping that she would come back to stay and visit him when she occasionally returns home.

Zhao was quite bold and actually set her sights on this courtyard.

What's going on? Does this mean that because Fu Zhishu was her biological sister-in-law, the courtyard once lived in, so the Zhao family considers this courtyard their own?

"Don't dream! The old lady originally told me that Fifth Sister's yard should be kept for her forever, so she can come back someday when she's free to sit and look around. If you really want it, go talk to the old lady yourself, or write to Fifth Sister and ask her to agree!"

Mrs. Hu said this impatiently and was about to leave.

Zhao quickly stopped Hu. What a joke! If she dared to go find the old lady herself, she would not come to Hu.

She didn't even have the courage to look for her mother-in-law, and only dared to ask because she and Hu were sisters-in-law.

Seeing that Mrs. Hu was truly angry, she softened her stance and pleaded, "Sister-in-law, please give me this favor for the sake of our past relationship. I've already made a promise to my parents that I'll take my cousin home and make sure she's well taken care of. You can't let me go back on my word, can you?"

Mrs. Hu smiled and said, "Come on, come on, tell me, who is your third cousin from the outer third sect and the noble lady?"

"The house in our mansion is not good enough for her? And she insists on living in the courtyard in the garden?"

"According to your arrangement, your cousin would have to live in the main courtyard of your Zhao family to be worthy of her status, right? Did your grandparents vacate the main courtyard for your cousin to live in?"

Zhao was choked by these words and her face turned purple and swollen like an eggplant, and she was unable to speak.

Mrs. Hu wasn't one to quit while she was ahead, so she continued to taunt him, "They say guests should follow the host's wishes. This is the first time I've seen this guest ask for a place to stay before even entering the house. Could it be that he's not just here as a guest, but as the head of the household?"

"Such a distinguished guest, let alone our mansion, I'm afraid no family in the whole capital would dare to accept it, right?"

Zhao quickly defended herself: "No! My cousin didn't pick it! It's me, I feel sorry for her and want her to live more comfortably. After all, she is so pitiful——"

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Mrs. Hu: "Old Third Family, considering that we are sisters-in-law, we have gotten along quite well over the years! Let me remind you one last thing, you are the Third Madam of the Marquisate! You are Lun Ge'er's biological mother! If you really have free time, you can go and take care of Lun Ge'er more often, which is better than focusing all your attention on your third cousin!"

"At least you're thinking about and fighting for Lun Ge'er, so you can at least have the reputation of being a loving mother! Fighting for this and that for your cousin is nothing but making people laugh and annoying!"

"That's all I have to say! If your precious cousin is really so picky about where to live, and is so picky about this and that, then our mansion wouldn't dare to host such a golden phoenix! It's better for her to stay in your Zhao family and be worshipped!"

After saying that, he pulled Sun and Lu Zhenzhen, who were stunned, aside and left angrily.

Zhao was left alone, standing there, looking so lonely and pitiful.

Lu Zhenzhen and Sun were pulled into Hu's yard and served tea.

Mrs. Hu drank half a cup in one gulp before she caught her breath.

He slammed the cup down on the table, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got. "Has the Third Sister been bewitched? Her cousin doesn't come from a good family. Look at that delicate, timid Zuo Pian. She's just like those vixens!"

"She doesn't have a daughter, so she can't think of that! We all have daughters, and people like this want to stay away from us, but she wants to bring them home!"

"She's getting more and more confused! I think she's going to fall flat on her face sooner or later because of her cousin!"

Sun also agreed: "When I saw the third cousin the other day, I felt that although she was young, she was quite cunning! If nothing else, she had the third cousin in her arms and legs."

Lu Zhenzhen blinked her eyes. She really didn't expect that both Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Sun had a bad impression of Liu Sisi!

Seeing Lu Zhenzhen blinking and not saying anything, Mrs. Hu thought that she was young and inexperienced and didn't understand.

He busily analyzed the situation for Lu Zhenzhen: "Fourth Brother, don't think your second sister-in-law and I are talking nonsense. Think about it carefully! Your third sister-in-law brought her own sister and that cousin over that day, right?"

Lu Zhenzhen nodded.

"But have you noticed? Your third sister-in-law's heart and eyes are full of that cousin, and her own sister has been forgotten. Moreover, since you want to invite her sisters from her mother's family to play, in addition to the ones who are being discussed for marriage, the Zhao family also has sisters who are about the same age as her cousin. Why not bring them over as well?"

"Those are her own sisters or cousins, much closer than that cousin!"

"Before, I only heard your third sister-in-law talk about how pitiful and lovable that cousin was, but she also didn't forget her own sisters. But after returning to her parents' home and seeing that cousin a few times, she's the only one in my heart and eyes. It seems that I've forgotten all the other sisters!"

"We know how stupid the third sister is! I think she's been fooled by that cousin and has lost her mind!"

Sun nodded repeatedly and couldn't help but say, "It's a good thing that the third sister's daughter is a girl. If it was a boy, I'm afraid he would be too coaxed to care about anything else—"
