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

Mrs. Hu sat upright and accepted Liu Sisi's greeting.

Then he smiled and said as if nothing had happened, "The Liu family's cousin looks better today than the day we watched the dragon boat race. Her lips are rosy and her teeth are white. No wonder the old lady and the ladies praised her."

Liu Sisi bit her lower lip and looked at Zhao with confused eyes.

Zhao was not happy with this. "Sister-in-law, last time Sisi was suddenly frightened by the crowd and acted a little rudely. It's not a big deal, why are you fussing with a child?"

Hu rolled her eyes, turned her head and spat silently at herself: "Why am I so anxious for a fool!"

Sun was always aloof and proud. She just nodded without even saying a word of courtesy.

It was Lu Zhenzhen's turn. Liu Sisi stepped forward and took the opportunity to glance at Lu Zhenzhen without leaving any trace, then quickly lowered her eyelids.

Lu Zhenzhen seemed unaware, only smiling and nodding, and said meaningfully: "Third sister-in-law has been thinking about cousin for many days. Now that cousin is here, you must accompany Third sister-in-law well and don't let her down for her love for you——"

Liu Sisi's eyes flickered, and she quickly said softly, "Yes! Sisi will definitely repay my cousin and won't let her down!"

Lu Zhenzhen glanced at Zhao and said, "That's good!"

Zhao was completely unaware and looked at Liu Sisi with special affection.

Mrs. Hu couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she stood up and said, "Since the guests have been seen, and my grandson's wife still has some things to do, I'll take my second and fourth sister-in-law to the meeting first!"

Old Madam Bai nodded with a smile: "Alright, since you have things to do, go and do yours! I have the eldest lady and the others here to chat with me."

Mrs. Hu, Lu Zhenzhen and Mrs. Sun bowed and took their leave.

Zhao also hurriedly took Liu Sisi and said goodbye.

All we could see was the Hu family and their group heading straight to the courtyard of the former directors.

Zhao stared at the backs of Hu, Lu Zhenzhen and the others in a daze, revealing a hint of loss.

Liu Sisi's eyes moved, she tugged at Zhao's sleeve, and asked cautiously, "Cousin, did it cause you any trouble to take me into the mansion?"

Zhao came back to her senses and said hurriedly, "That's not true! Don't overthink it!"

Liu Sisi's eyes turned red as she looked at Zhao: "But I feel like I've caused you a lot of trouble! Actually, cousin, I can go back and live with you. It's okay! Cousin loves me so much, I don't want her to suffer because of me."

When Zhao heard this, she felt warmed in her heart and her feeling of loss was immediately forgotten.

Holding Liu Sisi's hand, he walked towards her yard, saying, "You are young, so just stay here and eat, drink, and play. You don't understand adult matters!"

Liu Sisi's expression became more sincere: "Cousin, I'm not young anymore! I understand! Just now, Grandma, Grandma and the others deliberately excluded you, I saw it all -"

He spoke the last sentence in a low voice, as if afraid that others might hear him.

Zhao felt a pang of sadness in her heart, a bit embarrassed, and even a bit resentful!

I felt sour because Liu Sisi cared about me and I realized that I was in a difficult situation.

I felt embarrassed because I always reported good news and never bad news when I returned to the Zhao family, but my cousin saw my predicament.

The resentment was directed at the three sisters-in-law, including the Hu family. They had always spoken nicely to her in the past, but today when her cousin came, they didn't even give her any face at all, which was seen through by her cousin.

He tried hard to maintain a smile on his face, "You little kid, you must have seen it wrong! My sister-in-law and the others are going to the meeting, they have important business to attend to!"

Liu Sisi bit her lip and said, "Then why are there only three of the four grandmothers in the Marquis' Mansion going to manage the affairs? What about you, Third Sister-in-law?"

Zhao tried to save her dignity, "Now, all matters in the mansion, big or small, are managed by your cousin, me, and the eldest sister-in-law. Because you were coming, I arranged everything a few days ago. I'll focus on settling you in for the past two days!"

"Once you are settled, I will be busy every day!"

Liu Sisi nodded, not knowing whether she believed Zhao's explanation in her heart, but she looked very convinced.

The two cousins ​​walked for half a day and returned to Zhao's yard, where they rested for a while.

Zhao took Liu Sisi to see the courtyard arranged for her.

After walking out of the yard and taking a few steps, there is a small door.

Pushing the door open, there is a screen wall, and turning around, there are three small houses.

It has been cleaned, with several pots of flowers placed on the corridor and two magnolia trees planted in the yard.

After entering the house, there is a reception area in the middle, separated by a screen and antique shelves on the left and right sides.

On the left is the sleeping area, and on the right is a large kang by the window, which is the daily living area.

Although the space is not large, it is decorated elegantly and gracefully, showing the care taken in doing so.

Liu Sisi bowed to Zhao Yingying and said, "My cousin must have arranged this room herself. Everything about it is to my liking! I'm afraid I'll never be able to repay the love my cousin has given me."

Zhao waved her hand and pulled Liu Sisi to sit down: "I am your cousin, if I don't love you, who will I love? Just stay here and relax!"

As he said that, he looked back and saw that Liu Sisi only brought a little girl with her. She looked no more than ten years old and could not be of any use.

He simply assigned one of the second-class maids around him to Liu Sisi, and was also thinking about arranging a few more people to serve Liu Sisi.

Zhao's trusted maid came in and reported that the eldest lady knew that the cousin had only brought one servant with her, and was afraid that the service would not be adequate.

A second-class maid, two little maids for rough work, and two old women for rough work were specially assigned to serve the cousin.

When Zhao heard this, she didn't think much about it. She just felt that Hu finally took her face and feelings into consideration. It would be even better if she arranged someone to serve her.

He immediately asked someone to come in and show Liu Sisi.

A maid in a green satin vest with lace and a white silk skirt came in, followed by two little maids and two servants.

As soon as she entered the room, she greeted Zhao and Liu Sisi and introduced herself: "I am the servant Si Xi, sent here by the eldest lady to serve the cousin."

The two little girls, one named Xiaocao and the other named Xiaomai, also came forward to kowtow.

Liu Sisi took a closer look at the maid named Sixi. Although she was a second-class maid, she was well-dressed, had delicate features, and looked smart and capable.

He was quite satisfied in his heart, but he didn't dare to be self-centered and looked at Zhao first.

Mrs. Zhao was also quite satisfied. This Si Xi was the niece of the second housekeeper. Being able to assign her to serve her cousin was considered a favor from Mrs. Hu.

He nodded immediately.

Only then did Liu Sisi let Si Xi, the two little maids, and the old woman get up.

He only said a few words, hoping to trouble them more in the future, and then rewarded each of them with a hundred coins.

Si Xi and several maids and servants kowtowed to thank Liu Sisi and left.

Zhao then said, "This Si Xi is a daughter of our family. Her uncle is quite respectable. From now on, when you need to run errands for the mansion, you can ask her to do it. You don't have to send someone unfamiliar and have to deal with the housekeepers!"

Liu Sisi quickly agreed.

Zhao then sighed, "Normally, every young lady in the Marquis's mansion has four second-class maids and six young maids to serve her, and the rough servants are counted separately. However, Sister Yue and the other young ladies in the mansion are still young and still live in their parents' courtyards. It's not convenient to open a separate courtyard for you."

"I have no choice but to ask you to squeeze into this small courtyard. Please don't be disgusted—"
