When the carriage stopped at the gate of Lu's house, I saw that the gate was open.

The Lu family members greeted them respectfully at the door.

The first one was Lu's father, Lu Shijie.

Next to him is his wife, Wang.

Behind the two men, the most eye-catching person was Lu Hu, the eldest son of the Lu family. He was fat, with a face full of flesh, a pair of green bean eyes that rolled around, and he was wearing a scarlet robe. If you didn't know him, you would think he was the groom today.

Seeing Fu Zhiyi and Lu Zhenzhen getting off the carriage, the whole family came forward with attentive smiles on their faces.

Especially Lu Shijie, who didn't dare to act like a father-in-law at all. His old face was almost broken by laughter: "My dear son-in-law is here. You must be tired from the journey. Come in quickly——"

Lu Hu also came up with a lick on his face, rubbing his hands: "Yes, brother-in-law, come in quickly, we have been waiting for you early in the morning."

The two of them just surrounded Fu Zhiyi and invited him in. Lu Zhenzhen, who got out of the car behind him, was completely ignored by them.

It was only when Fu Zhiyi turned around to look at Lu Zhenzhen that they realized there was another person.

Wang smiled and said, "You men, go to the front yard to discuss business. I'll take Zhenzhen to the backyard. Her sisters are with her, so you can rest assured, my dear son-in-law!"

Several young ladies from the Lu family, who were dressed up in gorgeous clothes and looked delicate, timidly knelt down to greet Fu Zhiyi and called him brother-in-law.

Fu Zhiyi frowned, ignored the Lu family, and just looked at Lu Zhenzhen without saying a word.

Lu Zhenzhen knew that Fu Zhiyi was impatient, and she also knew that Fu Zhiyi still remembered the agreement with her and would listen to her when he arrived at the Lu family, so she tried not to speak if she could.

Generally speaking, when a girl returns to her parents' home, it depends on how her parents arrange it.

Especially looking at the postures of Lu Shijie and Lu Hu, you can tell that they have no good ideas.

There are also Wang and several other girls from the Lu family. They have always looked down on me, and when Fu Zhiyi is not around, they will definitely not say anything good.

However, since the Lu family has this idea, if we don’t put an end to it today, there will probably be trouble in the future.

It would be better to follow their wishes and see what they really want to do.

Lu Zhenzhen nodded.

Fu Zhiyi then nodded and signaled Lu Shijie to lead the way.

No one else saw this scene, but Mrs. Wang from the Lu family saw it and couldn't help but feel moved.

After Fu Zhiyi and the others had gone far away, Wang Shi finally smiled falsely: "The second young lady is returning home today, she is an honored guest! Let the sisters chat with you. You have only been married for a few days, but the family is missing someone, it feels empty, we all miss you so much."

Lu Pingping, the eldest daughter of the Lu family, was the most skilled in putting on a good front. She walked over to Lu Zhenzhen, put her arm around her, and said affectionately, "Second sister, tell us quickly, what is it like to marry into a high-ranking official residence? Look at what you're wearing, and the jewelry you're wearing. Second sister, are you ascending to heaven in one step, flying up to become a phoenix?"

The third daughter of the Lu family, Lu Lianlian, and the fourth daughter, Lu Jiaojiao, also echoed, "Indeed, this is a great blessing!"

Lu Zhenzhen knew that none of these so-called sisters truly wanted the best for her.

Now she wants to know how rich life is in the Marquis' Mansion, but deep down she doesn't want her to have a good life in the Marquis' Mansion.

If you really care about her, she will definitely say that her life in the Marquis's Mansion is comfortable and happy.

But in order to avoid trouble in the future when facing the Lu family, Lu Zhenzhen took out the handkerchief soaked in ginger juice that she had prepared long ago and wiped it around her eyes. Her eye circles turned red and tears rolled down her face.

Oh my god! What a mistake! Dingxiang is too honest. She put too much ginger juice. It's so spicy!

Lu Zhenzhen was so scorching that she choked up. "Back then, you knew clearly that this marriage to a wealthy man wasn't right, and none of you wanted it, so you pushed it to me! Now you're sarcastically calling it a blessing? Do you want this blessing?"

The three sisters of the Lu family were suddenly speechless.

No one is stupid. When they first heard the news that they could marry into the Marquis's Mansion, they all had some thoughts.

But after Wang and her aunt analyzed the situation for them, they realized that this marriage was only respectable in appearance, and it was probably more bitter than coptis chinensis in reality.

Otherwise, why would it be Lu Zhenzhen’s turn?

But after she got married, she was dressed elegantly and looked much better than when she was in the Lu family. The maids who served her were dressed and looked as elegant as her sisters.

Suddenly, jealousy arose in her heart. How could Lu Zhenzhen, an unfavored concubine of the Lu family, be worthy of wearing gold and silver and having so many maids?

Wang Shi didn't think this made sense, and when she saw Lu Zhenzhen followed by a few unfamiliar maids, she knew at a glance that they were from the Marquis' Mansion.

His heart skipped a beat. If these words were to reach the ears of the master of the Marquis' Mansion, it would not matter whether that dead girl Lu Zhenzhen lived or died, but if the Marquis' Mansion had a misunderstanding about their Lu family, that would be terrible.

He hurriedly put on a smile and asked someone to invite those unfamiliar maids to sit outside. He also specially called for a table and asked his own maid to accompany them, so that he could also inquire about the situation in the Marquis' Mansion.

Haitang and the other maids had been told before they came. Seeing Wang's arrangements, they followed without hesitation without even asking Lu Zhenzhen for permission.

Wang and the Lu sisters saw this and felt happy again. They saw that the maid in the Marquis' Mansion could make the decision whether to stay or leave without even telling them. It was conceivable that Lu Zhenzhen had a hard time in the Marquis' Mansion.

Thinking of this, and seeing that there were no outsiders around, Wang Shi no longer bothered to put on the fake smile on her face and rolled her eyes: "Second Miss, what you said is meaningless! As the saying goes, parents have the final say on their children's marriages! We only arranged such a good marriage for you because we love you! Otherwise, with your status, you could marry into the Marquis' Mansion as a daughter-in-law? You're still not satisfied with this?"

"Look at what you're wearing. It's a hundred times, ten times better than your sisters'! Don't you think about it? Which stepmother could be as kind as me? She didn't keep her own daughter for such a good marriage, but gave it to you. And instead of being grateful, you're full of complaints. What's the logic?"

Lu Zhenzhen couldn't stop crying and couldn't speak.

She cursed in her heart. The ginger juice was so strong and spicy that she had no mood to speak.

Seeing that Lu Zhenzhen was just crying and silent, Wang Shi felt even more contemptuous of her. After thinking about her family's previous plans, she spoke again: "Such a good marriage was given to you, and now you are enjoying yourself! But at home, your sisters are still unsettled! Now that you have married into the Marquis's Mansion, you can't just sit there and watch your sisters marry down, right?"

"Otherwise, when the time comes, all the other sisters-in-law in the Marquis' Mansion will have extraordinary family backgrounds, while your mother's family will only have a few useless relatives. You will be too embarrassed, right?"

"You and the Lu family share the same fate. When you return, try to please the old lady of the Marquis's mansion, your mother-in-law, and the other ladies. Ask around and find out if there are any young men with good family backgrounds. Also, find a way for your sisters to find one."

"If this works out, firstly, you and your sister will be able to marry into good families and have someone to rely on for the rest of your lives! Secondly, you can help each other and take care of each other, right?"

"Second Miss, isn't that right? You're powerless in the Marquis' Mansion alone, but if your sisters marry well, you'll have support and respect in the Mansion!"
