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

On the small table by the door, there are fresh broken branches of roses, with bright flowers and shiny green leaves, filling the vase, which is so lush that it is a feast for the eyes.

There are several pots of mosquito-repellent flowers and plants on the corridor, and a bird stand is hung on the shelf.

A starling was tied to it with a thin chain.

Seeing Lu Zhenzhen sticking her head out of the window, the mynah bird tilted its head, rolled its eyes, and shouted, "Beauty, there's a beauty——"

Lu Zhenzhen couldn't help laughing: "Who raised this mynah bird? It's so talkative."

The starling probably understood people praising it, and paced back and forth on the shelf, muttering, "I am a beauty, I am a beauty—"

Lu Zhenzhen didn't bother to look at the furnishings in the house anymore and went out to the corridor to play with the mynah bird.

Lu Yin followed out with a smile: "This is the mynah bird that Third Master bought from outside. He said it could recite poems and compose couplets, but it can only recite one line. Third Master has been training it for half a year, but it forgets every line it learns when it learns poetry. However, it remembers flattery the moment it learns it."

"The Third Master gave it to Madam as a gift. Madam was afraid that Auntie would be bored, so she sent it to her to cheer her up."

When Lu Zhenzhen heard this, she realized that it was Lu Yin who was trying to sell good things for Mrs. Lan, her new stepmother.

He understood what she meant and expressed in front of Lu Yin his gratitude to Mrs. Lan and his determination to be filial to her in the future.

After coaxing Lu Yin into a good mood, he gave a scolding to the maids and servants who stayed in Dongfeng Pavilion to serve Lu Zhenzhen, and then went back to report.

After Luyin left, Lu Zhenzhen asked Haitang, Dingxiang and the others to gather together all the maids and servants serving in Dongfeng Pavilion, gave them some tips, and let them all leave.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that the past half day's work was more tiring than any other day!

But it’s worth the effort!

What does this mean? Is the boss taking the initiative to help her gild her resume and prepare for future promotion?

She only has to work hard for a short period of time now, which will be of great benefit to her in the future.

Haitang and the other maids gathered around, rubbing Lu Zhenzhen's shoulders with heartache. They were also happy for her: "Now that the eldest uncle of the Lan family has adopted Fourth Madam as his adopted daughter, who will dare to say anything bad about her when she goes out in the future? Even Third Madam in our mansion will never be able to use your background to make any comments again."

"That's right! If anyone dares to say anything bad about our Fourth Grandma in the future, I will tear her mouth apart!" Dingxiang said domineeringly.

Lu Zhenzhen smiled: "Your grandmother is still self-aware. Look at the eldest grandmother and the three grandmothers in this mansion. They are all ladies from wealthy families. They are different from someone like me who I just met."

Ding Xiang was unconvinced: "Why is it different?"

Lu Zhenzhen thought for a moment, "It's like, Grandma and the others are the real golden branches and jade leaves, the kind of pure gold."

"Your grandmother, I am, well, at best, a gold-clad silver."

Haitang saw that Lu Zhenzhen did not show any jealousy or self-harm when she talked about this.

So he said in jest, "Fourth Madam is gold wrapped in silver, and the rest of us are silver wrapped in copper."

The girls compared the two in their minds and laughed out loud.

Lu Zhenzhen took the opportunity to give a few words of advice: "I know you care about me and are happy for me! But especially at this time, you must be more cautious. Don't get carried away, and don't let it lead to conflicts with the people in this mansion."

"The more this is the case, the more polite and respectful we must be to the people in this mansion. Do you understand?"

Begonia, jasmine and daphne naturally understand each other.

Although Dingxiang didn't quite understand, she only listened to Lu Zhenzhen and nodded quickly.

Only then did Lu Zhenzhen feel relieved.

Ningping Marquis Mansion.

That evening, news came back from the Lan family that Minister Lan was going to adopt Lu Zhenzhen as his adopted daughter and would soon hold a banquet to entertain guests. This news caused an uproar in the Ningping Marquis's mansion.

"What did you say? Did I hear you correctly?"

Even an old fox like the old marquis almost dropped the teacup in his hand.

For a moment I wondered if I was really old and could hear phantom sounds with my ears?

Minister Lan, the eldest brother-in-law of the third son, is a well-known smiling tiger in the court.

How could he make such a ridiculous decision? To adopt the daughter of a fifth-rank official, his own nephew's wife, as his adopted daughter, in such a formal way, without any benefits, would he do it?

It can't be that I got it by my sister begging me, right?

The old marquis recalled that when his son proposed to marry Lan, he was bullied by Minister Lan and was humiliated, and he had no one to complain to.

Moreover, over the years, whenever Minister Lan met him, he would always speak in support of the Lan family, which made him feel uncertain.

He knew that Mrs. Lan loved her daughter-in-law Lu Zhenzhen, but he didn't expect that she loved her so much!

The old marquis thought about it and decided to ask his son, the third master.

Walk all the way to the courtyard where the third master lives.

Because the third master has been afraid of women recently, the servants serving in the yard are all men. Although they still look clean and tidy, they still look a bit awkward.

The third master's legs are much better now, and he can walk a few steps with the help of crutches.

According to the imperial physician's instructions, he recovered quite quickly. He should move around more these days to avoid any sequelae in the future.

But the third master was brought up in a pampered environment and could not bear this suffering.

It’s good enough if I can walk around the yard every day with someone’s support and crutches.

During these days of recuperation, he was too embarrassed to go out. Feeling depressed, he would ask someone to bring him some wine to drown his sorrows.

It's a pity that the third master's alcohol tolerance is really not that good. He always passes out after finishing a pot of wine and has never made any improvement. At least he doesn't have to get drunk and cause trouble for the servants.

Therefore, whenever the third master asked for wine, the servants would happily carry the wine and go to the kitchen to ask for two dishes. As soon as the third master fell asleep, they would carry the wine into the room, throw it on the bed, and wait for him to wake up the next day.

The timing of the old marquis's arrival was neither too good nor too bad.

The third master had just drunk three cups and was starting to feel a bit tongue-tied.

When he saw the old marquis, he remembered to pay his respects and bow, but he couldn't stand steadily and was staggering.

The old marquis was so frightened that he quickly asked someone to help him sit down. The third son's leg had just healed a little. If he broke it again, wouldn't he become lame?

He's already not good at that aspect, and if he becomes lame, he'll be really useless!

He waved his hand, signaling the waiter to leave.

The third master was just getting drunk at the moment, but he was still somewhat sober. He quickly realized that the old marquis had something to say to him alone.

He couldn't help but shrink back and hide. He used to think that his parents loved him the most, but he felt a little resentful after the old marquis beat him like that last time.

Now he was afraid that the old marquis would send his men away, and he wanted to beat him up again.

The old marquis just reached out to take the wine jug and pour himself a glass.

The third master picked up the bowl in front of him and blocked it in front of him: "Don't hit my face——"
