Lan was determined not to have any power as a housekeeper, and Lu Zhenzhen was even more so.

The attitudes of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are extremely firm and consistent.

Sun looked at him with envy and wanted to follow suit.

What's so good about being a housekeeper? Endless account books to look at, endless abacus beads to shuffle, and endless worries.

Ever since she helped her sister-in-law manage the household for a while, she couldn't read books properly or practice her calligraphy, and she felt much more worldly.

A few days ago, my second uncle brought home a painting and invited me to appreciate it together.

My first reaction was, how much did this painting cost? Was it paid for with public funds? Or was it Mr. Erye's private money?

Sun felt that if she continued to control him, her scholarly air would turn into the stink of money.

Just as he was about to say that he didn't want to be the housekeeper anymore.

Zhao had already stood up. "Since Third Aunt and Fourth Sister-in-law don't want to manage the household, then leave it to Second Sister-in-law and me! Second Sister-in-law and I are still young, and we are not afraid of hard work!"

She was already thinking about it in her mind. Putting aside other things, it would be enough to take over the things that were originally in charge of her third aunt and fourth brother's wife.

The jobs that Third Aunt Lan previously managed were all very lucrative, while the jobs that Fourth Brother's wife managed were able to place people everywhere.

With these two things in hand, even if her sister-in-law takes back the housekeeping power in the future, she will have made enough money and can also place her own people in the position.

As for the rest, I don’t think the eldest sister-in-law will give them all to her, so just give them to the second sister-in-law.

She is not greedy!

Zhao felt that she had been very restrained this time, but as soon as she finished speaking, the eyes of everyone from old lady Bai to Mrs. Hu changed.

Mrs. Hu sneered, "Since you are so capable and not afraid of hard work, Third Sister-in-law, I'll just let you take care of this household."

Zhao blurted out: "Really?"

After meeting Hu's cold gaze, his brain finally came back to him and he said with a wry smile, "Well, well, I, I just wanted to offer a suggestion, a suggestion!"

He took a step back feeling wronged.

I was still muttering in my heart, my eldest sister-in-law couldn't manage the household anymore, and my third aunt and fourth brother's wife didn't care either. If not her and my second sister-in-law, who else could it be given to?

Really, she just has a more positive attitude, so what?

This shows that she is consistent in her words and deeds!

The eldest wife, Mrs. Jin, had a flash of impatience in her eyes. The third wife was really clueless. They jumped out so impatiently. Were they afraid that others wouldn't be able to see the evil ambitions of the young couple?

It's true that two people can't be two different even if they sleep in the same bed.

Old Lady Bai was really blind to see that Zhao was afraid that others would not know her thoughts and plans, and she wanted to make them known to the world.

Then he looked at the third room's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were calm and composed and didn't want to get involved in anything.

That's really, the contrast is too stark.

She sighed, she was old and could no longer control the children's little thoughts.

She simply waved her hand and said to the eldest wife, Jin: "I am also old. There is no reason for an old woman like me to worry about this when I have already accepted several granddaughters-in-law."

"Old family, you're the one who decides on this matter! After all, you're the ones who will be in charge of this family from now on!"

The eldest wife, Jin, stood up and accepted the gift respectfully.

Then he said, "There's no rush for this. I'll discuss it with my second brother and his wife before making a decision."

The old lady didn't care and waved her hand to signal her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law to leave. She felt tired watching.

After everyone left Ruixuan Hall, Hu grabbed Lu Zhenzhen and Sun who were about to slip away and said, "Come sit with me."

After saying that, he didn't care about Zhao and just dragged the two of them away.

Mrs. Hu is now the most valuable person in the Marquis' Mansion. Lu Zhenzhen and Mrs. Sun did not dare to struggle and could only go along with her.

Lu Zhenzhen stumbled a few steps after being dragged, and then she supported Hu with her backhand: "You are my living ancestor! You are pregnant now, so walk slowly-"

Sun couldn't help but look back at Zhao, only to see her standing there with an extremely ugly expression on her face.

Seeing Sun looking at him, he sneered and turned away.

Sun sighed. Although there had been some open and covert fighting and jealousy between the sisters-in-law before, they were all just for fun.

Although my third brother's wife is a little greedy and has a bad mouth, everyone can tolerate her.

Ever since that cousin from the Liu family came, my third brother's wife's behavior has become more and more unbearable.

At this moment, I'm afraid I still resent all three of them.

When they arrived at Hu's yard, everyone sat down and drank tea.

Hu first asked a few questions about Zhao and Liu Sisi's performance at the Lan family banquet that day.

Finally, he sneered, "Only the third cousin has his eyes covered with shit. If her cousin doesn't have other thoughts, why would she insist on going to the Lan family?"

"If you really want to see the world, you should behave yourself when you go to the Lan family. I see that cousin from the Liu family is deliberately looking for trouble."

As soon as these words came out, something flashed through Lu Zhenzhen's mind, but she couldn't grasp it.

Hu continued to complain, "Don't be skeptical. I think that cousin is quite scheming. In just a few days, every maid in her little courtyard has spoken well of her. Think about it, if that cousin really had no scheming at all, could she have won over those servants in our mansion?"

"Since she was able to recapture the servants in the mansion, how could she not know the status of the women at the banquet table that day? If she really had any sense and was truly concerned about the Third Master's family, she would definitely be obedient and not dare to say a single word or take a single step."

"But from what you said, it seems like she took the initiative to try to get close to the girls but failed, and then she tried to manipulate them. This is unlike how she behaved at the Third Brother's house and in front of us."

"Anyway, I didn't like that girl the first time I saw her! She's young, but she's quite cunning! I don't know what evil ideas she's hiding! Only the third family is so stupid that I can't see through her."

"In the future, I'm afraid the Third Sister will suffer a great loss at the hands of her cousin before she realizes her regrets!"

Sun and Lu Zhenzhen are indeed not as perceptive as Hu in this regard.

After hearing what Hu said, I felt it made a lot of sense.

Lu Zhenzhen thought for a moment before asking, "Sister-in-law, didn't you let the girl stay with that girl from the Liu family? What did the girl say?"

Mrs. Hu poured herself a sip of water. Since she found out she was pregnant, she couldn't drink tea.

"That girl said it was the cousin of the Liu family. She's usually very kind to everyone and is generous to the maids and servants in the yard, rarely ordering them around."

"Most of the things around her are taken care of by the girl named Xiaoyu she brought with her."

"Don't even mention the one I sent over. Even the girl given by the third eldest son's family, Miss Liu rarely orders her around. She says she's the elder sister in the mansion after all, so she doesn't dare to order her around easily. She usually just lets them embroider in the house."

Sun Shi understood: "She is not only on guard against the mansion, she also doesn't trust the Third Elder's family!"

"You said she doesn't believe what the third family says, but she is particularly affectionate to Lun Ge'er. A little girl of ten years old takes care of Lun Ge'er like a wet nurse every day. Don't you think it's strange?" Mrs. Hu was very curious.
