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

Liu Sisi shook her head repeatedly: "This arrangement couldn't be better! I can live in the Marquis' Mansion for a while, thanks to my cousin's love. Otherwise, how could I have such a blessing? What's more, my cousin knows my family's situation. A courtyard like this may not be a big deal for the Marquis' Mansion, but for me, it's already excellent! I don't feel wronged at all!"

"I used to worry that if I lived too far away from my cousin, I wouldn't feel at ease. But now, I live right next to my cousin, and that's exactly what I wanted! At night, I can sleep peacefully knowing she's right next door!"

After saying this, he was afraid that Zhao Shi would not believe him, so he added: "My cousin also knows the situation of my family. This small courtyard is already a hundred times better than my home! What's more, I know that with my cousin here, she will definitely not let me suffer any grievances!"

Zhao felt that every word her cousin Sisi said touched her heart.

Especially the last sentence, such confidence in myself, suddenly a sense of pride arose in my heart, and I patted my chest and promised: "Since you don't mind, that's good! Stay here with peace of mind! If anything happens or you suffer any grievances, don't hold it in! I have your cousin here for everything!"

Liu Sisi seemed to be moved by Zhao. With red eyes, she threw herself into Zhao's arms. Her eyelids drooped, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

The two cousins ​​chatted affectionately for a while. Zhao looked at the sky and saw a hint of fatigue on Liu Sisi's face.

She slapped her leg, full of regret: "Oh, it's all my fault that I was too happy and forgot that you were not feeling well. You must be tired since you got up this morning, right?"

"Take a break first. I'll ask the kitchen to make something easily digestible and send it to you. You can eat first."

"I've already instructed the kitchen to prepare a feast for you. It won't be too late after you've rested."

After saying this, he gave a few instructions to the maids and servants, asking them to take good care of Liu Sisi, and then he left to arrange the welcoming banquet in the afternoon.

Liu Sisi escorted Zhao out of the yard before turning back.

Qingmiao, the second-class maid assigned by Zhao, and Sixi, assigned by Hu, came over and helped Liu Sisi wash and change into casual clothes.

The second-class girl had already gone to the kitchen and brought back Liu Sisi's food.

When I opened it, I saw a bowl of bird's nest porridge and some delicious side dishes.

Logically speaking, these were things Liu Sisi had never seen before.

But the two girls, Qingmiao and Sixi, looked at Liu Sisi as if they were used to it and did not show any surprise.

The two of them didn't dare to think too much. They just served Liu Sisi half a bowl of bird's nest porridge. She put down her chopsticks and waited for the little girl to bring water to rinse her mouth and wash her hands.

Then he stood up and said, "I've used it all. You can divide the rest among you! I have Xiaoyu to serve me here, and that's enough."

Then she went into the inner room to rest, accompanied by the little maid she brought from Zhao's house.

Qingmiao and Sixi looked at each other, knelt down to thank Liu Sisi for the reward, and packed up their things and went downstairs.

The two of them are now assigned to serve their cousin Liu Sisi. No matter what happens in the future, they still have to perform well in front of their master.

After going back to the house and using some food, Qingmiao made an excuse and left the yard.

Si Xi was quietly sitting in the corridor doing needlework, listening to the noises in the house.

When Liu Sisi woke up, the maid from Zhao's side had been waiting for a long time. She said that the third grandmother had prepared a feast in her yard and was waiting for the cousin to come over.

Liu Sisi hurriedly dressed up and put on the new clothes that Zhao had made for her. She also asked Xiaoyu to get the prepared things before going to Zhao's yard.

Only now did Liu Sisi have the time to take a closer look at Zhao's courtyard. At the door of the main house in the courtyard hung a small plaque with the words "Lan Yue Yuan" (Lan Yue Yuan).

It was obvious that the calligraphy was not written by a master, but Liu Sisi stood in the yard, staring at the plaque for half a day.

Until Zhao came out, she was still staring at the plaque in a daze.

Zhao followed Liu Sisi's gaze and asked, "What are you looking at so intently, cousin?"

Liu Sisi smiled sheepishly: "I think the calligraphy on this plaque is very good. I wonder whose calligraphy it is?"

Zhao smiled and said, "This plaque was written by your cousin's husband himself. He's not bad at anything else, but his calligraphy is pretty good among his brothers, so I had the audacity to hang it up. How can it be considered a masterpiece? You're really praising him!"

Liu Sisi seriously retorted, "Cousin, you're not right! My brother-in-law's handwriting is indeed very good! The words are beautiful, and the meaning is also good!"

Zhao didn't take it seriously and followed Liu Sisi's words: "Okay, okay, if you say he is good, then it's fine!"

Without waiting for Liu Sisi to answer, he asked Liu Sisi if she had rested well.

Something flashed across Liu Sisi's face quickly, but soon disappeared.

When she looked up again, her expression was gentle and tender: "I had a great rest! Thank you for thinking of me, cousin! Actually, there was no need for this ridiculous welcome banquet, it's my fault for tiring you out."

Zhao took Liu Sisi's hand and they walked inside. "You're still young and don't know! The servants in this mansion are mostly respectable people with rich eyes. Even the master of the mansion, if you are weak, she will still want you to be strong!"

"The easier it is for you, the less they'll take you seriously! You're a proper guest in our mansion, so a welcoming banquet is only natural! Besides, I, your cousin, know my limits! I'm just inviting my eldest sister-in-law and the others over to get together and chat."

"As long as they are here, they are doing you a favor! From now on, the maids and servants in this mansion will have to be more considerate when encountering things in your courtyard!"

Zhao really cares about her cousin Liu Sisi with all her heart.

Liu Sisi's eyes suddenly became complicated, and something seemed to waver for a moment, but soon her expression became firm again.

She smiled softly and nudged Zhao: "I know my cousin loves me! But since we've invited my eldest sister-in-law and the others, although we don't want to disturb the ladies and the old lady, shouldn't we also invite the brothers and sisters in the mansion? It will be more lively with more people."

This sentence reminded Zhao, and her eyes lit up: "You reminded me very well."

He turned around and ordered people to invite Hu and the others, and to invite his brothers and sisters as well.

The servant agreed and went.

Zhao then looked at Liu Sisi with relief: "I was always worried about you being bullied by your concubine over the years. You were too soft-hearted and didn't have a plan in mind. Now that I see that you have a plan in mind, I can finally put my mind at ease."

"You know, I brought you to live in the mansion, firstly to let you relax, and secondly for your future marriage. As long as you behave yourself and don't cause trouble, and serve the old lady more, the mansion won't be short of having you as an extra girl."

"If you are lucky enough to get the old lady's approval and have the reputation of being raised in the Marquis's mansion, it will be easier to propose marriage in the future. Not to mention, when that day comes, given the affection you have lived in the mansion for several years, the Marquis's mansion may even give you a dowry."

"Besides, we've lived in the mansion for a few years. Even if you get married in the future, your in-laws will look up to you with this relative."

"Sisi, you have to be aware of this. Don't waste all my efforts on your behalf—"

Zhao said earnestly.
