The atmosphere in the room was not as solemn as the three girls had worried.

Fu Zhiyi rubbed his temples with his fingers. He never had headaches before, but he had headaches several times after just getting married for a few days.

Seeing Lu Zhenzhen come in, he sighed: "Do you know what the return gift means?"

Lu Zhenzhen said she knew the answer to this question: "It represents the husband's family's respect for the bride. The more expensive the return gift, the more they value the bride. It's also to make the bride look good in her parents' home, to comfort them, and to show that she's married into a good husband's family."

Seeing Lu Zhenzhen answering the questions obediently, Fu Zhiyi felt even more troubled. Since he knew everything, why did she still try to deceive him?

Lu Zhenzhen said, of course she was unhappy with the Lu family!

Fu Zhiyi endured it again and again, but still managed to persuade her: "You're bringing such a simple return gift, aren't you afraid that your family will laugh at you? If you really don't like it, just let it go for the sake of face this time, and then you can just ignore the Lu family in the future, right?"

Lu Zhenzhen said it didn't matter and just laughed it off.

The attitude is very firm!

She knew that it was difficult to have so-called empathy in this world.

It is too much to ask Fu Zhiyi, a son of a noble family, to understand the concubine's daughter of a minor official.

She doesn't need Fu Zhiyi to understand.

I believe that even if Fu Zhiyi cannot understand this little thing, he should be able to tolerate it.

After all, this matter does not cause any loss to the Marquis' Mansion, but rather brings more benefits.

As expected, Fu Zhiyi just looked at Lu Zhenzhen deeply and agreed.

Lu Zhenzhen thought about it and decided to give Fu Zhiyi a heads-up in advance.

"Fourth Master, my relationship with the Lu family has been severed since the moment I married into the Marquis's Mansion! My return home tomorrow is just to give an explanation to outsiders, so that no one will gossip about the Marquis's Mansion and you."

"No matter what demands and conditions the Lu family puts forward, Fourth Master, just reject them directly! If possible, you can be a tool tomorrow. Uh, just go through the motions, and leave everything else to me!"

After hearing what Lu Zhenzhen said, Fu Zhiyi thought that going to Lu's house tomorrow would cause a big scene?

He couldn't help but show a hint of interest in his eyes.

He nodded slightly: "As you wish."

The two of them reached an agreement.

After discussing the important matters, it was time for dinner.

The door to the inner room opened, and both of them walked out unharmed, looking normal.

Haitang and the other two girls breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the Fourth Master and the Fourth Madam did not quarrel!

While feeling relieved, I was also secretly frightened. It seemed that the Fourth Master was quite indulgent towards the Fourth Madam, and he allowed her to act like this.

My respect and awe for Lu Zhenzhen, the fourth grandmother, deepened by another 20%.

The dinner was still sumptuous. Not only that, the small kitchen at Lan's also sent over two dishes that Lu Zhenzhen liked to eat at noon.

Fu Zhiyi looked at the two new dishes on the table, his eyes wandering and a little absent-minded for a moment.

However, the rules of the Marquis's Mansion stipulate that one should not talk while eating or sleeping.

After dinner was finished and the tea was served to help digestion, Fu Zhiyi was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Mother likes you very much."

The statement was made in a flat tone, with no emotion to be heard.

Lu Zhenzhen's heart skipped a beat. What's going on? Is the boss satisfied or dissatisfied?

He said cautiously, "Madam loves me because she loves the Fourth Master. She favors me because of him. It's all thanks to him!"

After thinking for a moment, he added, "My luck in this life is probably that I was able to marry into the Marquis's Mansion and marry the Fourth Master as his wife! I have a husband as generous and kind as the Fourth Master, a mother-in-law as loving as my wife, and an old ancestor who favors me! I really fell into a nest of blessings—"

This flattery is quite straightforward.

It was so straightforward that Fu Zhiyi was at a loss for words.

All other thoughts in my mind disappeared instantly. Never mind. Maybe my mother liked this girl because she was honest and straightforward!

He tapped Lu Zhenzhen twice with his finger and warned her, "In this mansion, except for me, you can only listen to others halfway! Do you understand?"

Is there anything Lu Zhenzhen doesn’t understand?

Boss, you're a scheming boy! You have eight hundred schemes, plus you have a hidden illness, and your personality is a bit twisted. You always feel like there are villains trying to harm you!

In modern society, people like this are collectively called psychopaths!

When dealing with a crazy boss, just do what he says.

He nodded repeatedly and raised his right hand to swear: "Don't worry, Fourth Master! We are husband and wife, one body, and we are on the same boat! If you are well, then I will be well! You and I are from the same country! In this mansion, no, in this world! You and I are the best friends in the world! Don't worry, I only listen to you! I only listen to half of what others say, even what my wife says!"

Fu Zhiyi couldn't help but glare at Lu Zhenzhen. After all, she was a girl from a small family. Where did she learn such nonsense?

What do you mean you and I are the best in the world?

So frivolous!

Fu Zhiyi suppressed the corner of his mouth that was about to curl up and said coldly: "Pay attention to your identity. Don't say such nonsense outside in the future!"

Lu Zhenzhen really wanted to hand Fu Zhiyi a mirror and let him look at himself in the mirror. The tips of his ears were all red, and he was still pretending to be cool?

But I didn't expect that Fu Zhiyi, such a lunatic, would actually fall for this?

He flirted casually: "Got it, Fourth Master! From now on, I will only say things like this to Fourth Master alone!"

Fu Zhiyi's face and neck turned red!

He forced himself to remain calm, then stood up abruptly, saying, "Flirtatious!"

He rushed to the side room in a slightly embarrassed manner, and when he reached the door, he remembered and said, "I need to wash up."

The maid guarding outside didn't hear clearly what the two masters said inside.

But it can be seen that the Fourth Master seems to be in a good mood.

They exchanged glances, nodded their heads in agreement, and went to fetch water.

After we left the room, you poked me and I poked you, we winked at each other, and ran away laughing.

For little girls like these, their lives can only be peaceful if their masters and mistresses live in harmony and love!

Because I had to go back home the next day, I went to bed early at night.

The lights in Tingtaoju were turned off early. Lu Zhenzhen lay on the bed, imagining in her mind how she should behave when she saw the Lu family tomorrow, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

In the other courtyards of the Marquis' Mansion, the lights were still on.

In dark corners, secluded places where few people go, and on the large bunk beds in the servants' rooms where the maids and servants rested, everyone was discussing Lu Zhenzhen, the new Fourth Grandma.

Waking up early in the morning, Haitang asked the little girl to rush to prepare breakfast.

In the end, the little girl didn't come back for a long time. When he finally saw them coming back with the food, he suppressed his anger while having the food boxes brought in. At the same time, he grabbed one of the little girls by the ear and pulled her aside, scolding her in a low voice: "I told you to get breakfast, and you went long ago. Why are you only realizing it now? Have you been hiding in the sand again?"

"Do you know that today is the day when Fourth Madam returns home? You have delayed the master's time. Do you still want to stay in this courtyard?"

The little girl was already in a bad mood, and now she was scolded again. Her eyes immediately turned red, and she burst into tears: "Sister Haitang, you don't know how excessive they are——"
