Ever since Nanny Qian came to Xiaokuayuan, the atmosphere has changed dramatically.

The little girls stopped chattering and being lazy.

The two older maids, Si Xi and Qing Miao, were also arranged to take turns with Xiao Yu to serve Liu Sisi personally.

But within a few days, the maids in the yard became much more well-behaved.

Yinzhu came to see her several times and was very impressed by Nanny Qian. She felt regretful in her heart. If she had known that having a nanny would save so much trouble, she should have asked Nanny Qian to come out of retirement long ago.

Although the Zhao family did not come, they were very satisfied with Nanny Qian's performance and rewarded her with many good things.

Nanny Qian worked even harder on this.

For a while, in the small courtyard, apart from the maids serving in the yard and the people around Zhao, not even a fly was allowed in.

Xiaoyu, Liu Sisi's personal maid, had no chance to leave the yard.

Upon hearing the news, Mrs. Hu, who was enjoying a snack at Tingtaoju, rolled her eyes. "The third wife has finally come to her senses, but she's still a little too soft-hearted. In my opinion, a cousin like this would be a nuisance if she stayed home. It would be best to send her back to her parents' home as soon as possible."

Sun spoke up for Zhao, saying, "She was brought here by my third sister-in-law. It's easier to invite her than to send her away, especially since she's still ill. If we send her back like this, how will she ever return to her parents' home? Even the reputation of the Marquisate wouldn't be good!"

Mrs. Hu sneered, "If she were truly awake, I'd look up to her. But it's a pity she's still confused. She came to me a couple of days ago and asked to have her good cousin's monthly allowance and share of the benefits equal to Yue Jie'er and the others."

Lu Zhenzhen and Sun looked at each other. They really didn't know about this.

Lu Zhenzhen was more curious about whether Mrs. Hu agreed.

He and Sun looked at Hu with the same intention.

Mrs. Hu sneered, "She came to my house on her own and talked a lot of nonsense. I was too lazy to listen, nor was I too lazy to argue with her about a few taels of silver a month. I just agreed."

"Just think of it as accumulating blessings for the baby in my belly!"

Sun didn't care about such a small matter. As long as Liu Sisi was confined to her small courtyard and didn't come out to harm her younger sisters at home, a small increase in monthly salary was not worth mentioning.

Although Mrs. Hu no longer takes care of the household, she is still well-informed about all kinds of news.

"By the way, on the 18th of next month, the second son of the Prince of Shu will be getting married, and it will be to a girl from the Guan family." Mrs. Hu dropped a big news.

"Didn't the second young master make a big fuss about breaking off the engagement at that time?" Sun became interested.

You know, the girl from the Guan family was almost forced to become a nun because of the trouble.

Mrs. Hu curled her lips with a hint of disdain: "The Second Young Master's reputation is ruined, Concubine Cheng lost her dragon fetus and fell out of favor. I heard that the marriage that the Third Prince had agreed to is no longer valid, and they are pushing forward a family that is even worse than the Guan family."

"Of course the Second Young Master agreed. Besides, the King of Shu is above us, and he's no pushover! After all, he's our own son. How can we just sit there and watch him go to waste and become a laughing stock?"

"I don't know what the negotiations were like with the Guan family, but the marriage proposal is on hold again."

"The girl from the Guan family, who had been exiled to the farm and was rumored to be sent directly to become a nun in a few days, has been brought back. I heard that the King of Shu even went to His Majesty to ask for an imperial decree to arrange the marriage, giving the Guan family enough face."

Sun sighed after hearing this: "For Miss Guan, this is also a blessing. At least she doesn't have to become a nun. With this imperial decree of marriage, as long as she doesn't make any big mistakes, her position as the main wife is secure for the rest of her life."

Is it a blessing? Lu Zhenzhen doesn't think so.

It depends on whether Miss Guan wants to let it go.

To be honest, she was quite curious about the young lady from the Guan family, but they should be able to see her on the day of the wedding.

This matter can be gossiped about and then forgotten, after all, it is not our family's business.

Lu Zhenzhen, on the other hand, had finished taking inventory of her dowry these past few days and was feeling quite bored.

Yesterday, the sister-in-law from the Lan family sent some fresh fruits and vegetables, which reminded her that she had said before that she would invite the three sisters-in-law from the Lan family, as well as Mrs. Hu and the Prince of Shu’s wife to spend a few days at Wangyue Tower and Zhuangzi.

It was because Mrs. Hu had a child, and she wanted to count the dowry and re-register it, so she forgot about it.

Now that I have nothing to do, I heard that Wangyue Tower has released two new desserts, one is called Cherry Crisp Mountain and the other is called Lactose Real Snow. I heard that they are extremely exquisite and delicious.

It’s a pity that they never do takeout, so you can only enjoy it in the store.

I heard that many girls from official families would go to Wangyue Tower to book a private room, order some tea and desserts, listen to storytellers, or listen to pipa music, or simply call a few girls who were good at singing and dancing.

As long as you pay enough, you can spend a whole day in Wangyue Tower.

Lu Zhenzhen was really longing for it!

Wasn't this the same clubhouse she'd had in her time? Male and female guests were entertained separately, each seeking their own pleasure!

She didn't have the chance to see it in modern times, but now that she has the chance, shouldn't she go and experience it?

After all, this is a legitimate thing, because the female guests are served by maids, and the performers are all women. Many female relatives of wealthy and noble families like to sit there.

It is said that Wangyue Tower is also a new restaurant opened in the past two years. No one knows who the big boss behind it is, but his background is mysterious and powerful.

The endless stream of new gadgets and new ways of playing attracted the capital's dandy young men and daughters of nobles to flock to it.

Of course, there are still some nobles and officials who still hold a wait-and-see or negative attitude, and do not allow their female relatives to go to Wangyue Tower, thinking that it is not good to show up in public.

The Guan family was the worst offenders, saying everywhere that Wangyue Tower was indecent and immoral.

After Lu Zhenzhen received the gift from the Lan family yesterday, she became interested.

I mentioned this to Fu Zhiyi in the evening, and I don't know why Fu Zhiyi's expression was stiff and strange for a moment.

But at least Fu Zhiyi agreed to book the largest private room for her.

For this, Lu Zhenzhen paid the price with two wet and sweet kisses.

The main purpose of her inviting Hu and Zhao today was to invite them to spend a day at Wangyue Tower.

When Mrs. Hu heard this, she forgot she was pregnant. She stood up immediately and said excitedly, "Really?"

Bailing and Dujuan were so frightened that they rushed over and carefully protected the person: "Grandma, you are a double-body——"

Hu sat down awkwardly, looking at Lu Zhenzhen eagerly: "Fourth sister-in-law, you have to treat everyone equally! You can't refuse to take me with you just because I'm pregnant!"

"My pregnancy is very stable now. The child is very well behaved and doesn't bother me at all—"

Sun interrupted Hu's words with disapproval: "Sister-in-law, you're a twin. If you're pregnant with a boy, that would be priceless! Don't blame me for being harsh. If something happens to Fourth Sister-in-law outside, not only will she blame herself, but will the old marquis, the old lady, and the eldest master and the eldest lady let her go?"

"If you really want to have fun, how many opportunities will you have after you have a baby?"

Bai Ling and Du Juan beside Mrs. Hu nodded repeatedly.
