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

This news was like a bolt of thunder, and both Lan's mother and Lan's eldest wife were stunned for a long time.

Lan's mother covered her heart with her hands and sat down on the couch, her face pale.

The teacup in Mrs. Lan's hand also fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

After a long time, Lan's mother came to her senses, and her first reaction was to slap Lan in the face.

His hands trembled, tears welled up in his eyes. "You evil creature! Why didn't you wait until we died and tell us at our graves?"

While covering his chest, he said, "My poor Yi Ge'er, how could he have such a pair of parents like you——"

Mrs. Lan's face also turned pale. "Little sister, why did you hide such an important matter from us? If you told us, wouldn't we have a better chance of finding the antidote with the help of our Lan family? Isn't it Brother Yi who is delayed by your concealment?"

Lan was slapped by her mother, but she didn't care about being sad. When Lan's mother and Mrs. Lan questioned her, she felt even more ashamed: "At that time, I was afraid that the more people knew about this news, it would be bad for Brother Yi! So I kept it a secret -"

"Over the years, besides me, the old marquis has also been sending people out to look for the medicine..."

"Stupid!" Mrs. Lan was so angry that she could no longer maintain her image as a noble lady and just walked around the room.

After circling for a while, he stopped in front of Lan and said, "Why are you so confused? Even if you don't dare let others know about these things, if you let the old man, the old lady, me and your eldest brother know, will it spread out? There are so many of us, can't we think of a safer way?"

She wanted to scold her sister-in-law a few more times, but after all, she was the one she had raised and treated like her own daughter. Mrs. Lan couldn't bring herself to scold her and could only sit aside and sulk.

Lan's mother had recovered a little now and sneered, "How could she be confused? She's just a bully at home! She's fearless in her mother's family! But now that she's married, she's timid and obeys the Fu family in everything! You deserve all the suffering you've endured over the years!"

After saying this, he burst into tears again: "It just makes my brother Yi suffer!"

Mrs. Lan could only cheer herself up and come over to comfort Lan's mother.

Lan also knelt down and admitted her mistake, and it was only with great difficulty that Lan's mother was finally appeased.

Mrs. Lan calmed down and after a moment's thought, she asked, "Did Brother Yi and Zhen Zhen consummate their marriage?"

Lan shook his head.

Mrs. Lan guessed her intention just by looking at Lan's expression: "So you want us to adopt Zhenzhen as our adopted daughter to give her a way out first? Are you worried that Brother Yi can't be cured--"

Lan nodded.

Mrs. Lan sighed. She knew that her sister-in-law had a very soft heart and was kind to others from the bottom of her heart.

"Brother Yi also agrees?"

Lan nodded halfway, then shook his head.

Lan's mother pushed her anxiously: "Do you agree or not?"

Lan whispered, "Brother Yi agrees with his brothers adopting Zhenzhen as their adopted daughter, but he doesn't agree with Zhenzhen remarrying in the future—"

Now both Lan's mother and Mrs. Lan were speechless.

Lan's mother rubbed her head and said, "We can't do anything about this! Go call your eldest brother—"

Lan shrank back. Although her eldest brother loved her the most, he also controlled her the most strictly.

If her elder brother knew about this, Lan felt that at her age, she might be punished by her elder brother to copy scriptures a hundred times.

It's so embarrassing and painful!

However, Mrs. Lan was too lazy to pay attention to her sister-in-law who was not very smart, and went out to ask someone to invite the master.

As for what kind of bloody storm ensued after the arrival of the eldest master, no one knows.

Anyway, Lu Zhenzhen was currently being taken by her three cousins-in-law to stroll leisurely around the Lan family's back garden.

The Lan family's back garden is not too big, only about three or four acres, but it has pavilions, towers, bridges and flowing water.

Although the trees, flowers and plants planted are not rare species, they are arranged in an orderly manner and trimmed very elegantly.

Because the weather was hot, Grandma Lan led her people to the edge of the waterside pavilion and did not go any further.

The pavilion is next to a large pond. A pool of fresh water is introduced from the northeast corner, meandering into the pond, and then flowing out of the pond and out along the wall at the southeast corner.

Seeing Lu Zhenzhen gazing intently at the flowing water, Grandma Lan explained, "There's a river next to our house. This water is drawn from the river and then flows back into the river from the southeast corner. There's not much hot water today, but when it rains and the water level rises, some fish from the river will be washed into our garden. That would be really interesting."

As they were talking, the maids had already cleaned up the pavilion.

Mats were laid out and tea and snacks were served.

After sitting down, the wind blew gently, carrying with it moisture, which was a bit cool and very comfortable.

Although everyone was not familiar with each other, Grandma Lan was very good at livening up the atmosphere. She spoke in a humorous and witty way, and after just a few words, she made Lu Zhenzhen laugh out loud.

Everyone smiled and the distance between them became closer.

They just ask each other what they do at home, what they like, etc.

What can the women in the backyard do at home? Just embroider, read, and take care of the housework.

When they heard Lu Zhenzhen say that she had just lived in the farm for a few days, they were all envious.

Especially when they heard that Lu Zhenzhen had caught a few corrupt officials who had embezzled their master's money on the farm, the second and third grandmothers were still sighing with emotion.

Grandma Lan was already lost in thought.

After chatting for a while, Grandma Lan simply ordered: "We have guests at home today. Let the girls come and meet their cousin. This will help them avoid being too hot to sit still these days. They are also very naughty in front."

After a while, someone brought three or four girls over. The oldest one was about ten years old, and the youngest one was only two or three years old.

They were all dressed the same, and it was obvious that they were sisters from the same family. From tall to short, from old to young, they lined up to salute Lu Zhenzhen.

Lu Zhenzhen quickly asked someone to help them up and distributed gifts to everyone one by one.

Fortunately, I asked Mrs. Lan before coming here and found out how many brothers and sisters she had in her family, so I had prepared enough gifts for the meeting.

Each girl is a pair of gold ingots poured out according to the pattern she drew.

There are round persimmons, chubby peaches, apple-shaped ones, and pomegranate-shaped ones.

Everyone’s hands are different.

Several girls couldn't put it down.

When the three grandmothers of the Lan family saw that Lu Zhenzhen's gift was unique and their daughter liked it, they looked at Lu Zhenzhen with a sense of closeness.

After the girls met the guests and accepted the gifts, Grandma Lan simply didn't let them go back to continue their lessons. She let them go and play on their own nearby. They didn't have to worry about the maids and the old women watching over them.

They were sitting in the pavilion with their sisters-in-law, chatting.

Seeing that Lu Zhenzhen had become closer, they had more topics to talk about, and started talking about the gossip in the capital city these days.

If we talk about the most explosive gossip in the capital these two days, it is naturally the miscarriage caused by Concubine Cheng in the palace due to taking medicine by mistake.

The fetus was aborted yesterday, and today almost all the upper-class nobles in the capital knew about it.

The female members of the imperial family had long heard about how fierce the fighting in the harem was and how many fetuses were lost every year. When they heard the news, they basically just sighed.

Those nobles who miscarried the dragon fetus could regain the emperor's favor if they were lucky.

Those who are unlucky will be silenced from then on, and may disappear completely from the palace at any time.

The reason why everyone knew about the miscarriage of Concubine Cheng so quickly was that after the miscarriage, she immediately reported it to the emperor, saying that Concubine Shu had killed the dragon son in her womb and asked the emperor to execute Concubine Shu.
