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

But Lu Shijie had already told us that we must not offend anyone today. If we ruin his chance of taking office in Pingjiang Prefecture, don't blame him for punishing us according to the family rules.

Therefore, they didn't dare to confront Lu Zhenzhen directly, and only said sarcastically: "How could there be such an unfilial and unbrotherly person in this world who wants to sever ties with his biological parents—"

"Isn't that what he did? He got a high-ranking official as his adoptive father! He thinks he has really become a phoenix from a sparrow! Pah—"

"After all, you are a bastard, so short-sighted that you think you have become a noble lady just because you have such an adoptive father! You don't even think about your background and your moral character, and why you are favored by others?"

"She always relies on men. Now, relying on her youth and beauty, she coaxes men into making plans for her and giving her face!"

"How long can this woman stay young and beautiful? By the time she's old and faded, and can no longer hold a man's heart, then you'll know how powerful she is! I'm afraid she'll be worse off than she is now. Will my adoptive father's family still be able to take her in? I'm afraid that's just a daydream!"

"Look at how cocky she is now. I just hope she can have some backbone. When the time comes, she won't even come to our Lu family's doorstep to beg for food!"

……

The Lu sisters were chirping loudly as if no one was around. Wang pretended to be deaf and dumb, pretending not to hear anything. She just held a cup of tea and watched, as if she wanted to see something.

The other concubines huddled aside like quails, not daring to make a sound.

The Lu brothers looked at each other, but did not dare to interrupt.

Lu Zhenzhen sneered, motioned for Dingxiang to drag over a chair, and sat down without hesitation.

Then he slowly raised his hand and expressed appreciation.

This is the red cardamom that I just dyed before going to Wangyue Tower the day before yesterday. It is very bright.

Not to mention that she had at least six rings on her ten fingers, including gemstones, jade, and emerald.

On her wrists, there were seven or eight heavy gold and jade bracelets inlaid with various gemstones, which jingled and clanged.

She was sitting in a good position, and when she raised her hand, the sunlight outside shone in and onto her hand. The rings and bracelets suddenly shone brightly with golden light, almost blinding the Lu family's eyes.

Especially the gold and diamond headpiece on her head, which was so sparkling that it made Lu Zhenzhen look so wealthy that it was impossible to look directly at her.

This scene shocked the Lu family so much that they were speechless, their eyes fixed on the jewelry on Lu Zhenzhen's head and hands.

The eyes of several Lu Hu brothers showed greed and they were ready to make a move.

When he raised his eyes, he met Lu Zhenzhen's half-smile and the servant of the Marquis' Mansion standing at the door. He immediately became intimidated, quickly lowered his head, and pretended nothing had happened.

Lu Zhenzhen then spoke slowly: "Dingxiang, come here, today I will teach you a saying: if you can't eat grapes, you say they are sour!"

Ding Xiang cooperated very well and asked, "Fourth Grandma, what do you mean by saying grapes are sour when you can't eat them?"

Lu Zhenzhen glanced around at the Lu family and pointed with her finger: "That's the group of people in front of me! See? They're so jealous of me. They're jealous that I can marry the Fourth Master, that I can live a good life, that I can wear jewelry and clothes that they will never be able to wear in their entire lives, and that I have a good adoptive father. They're so jealous that their eyes are red."

"But they just can't get it! What if they can't get it? They'll look so incompetent and useless, and so unpopular! To cover up their guilt, jealousy, and impotent rage, they naturally have to think hard to find fault with what they can't get."

"They pick out all sorts of flaws, and then it becomes like they're the bad ones, not that they don't want them! Got it?"

Ding Xiang's supporting role was perfect: "I understand, Fourth Grandma! Isn't this what you often say? Such a good life, you don't enjoy it, is it because you don't want it? No, it's because you can't have it! Is that what you mean?"

Lu Zhenzhen patted Dingxiang's arm with satisfaction: "Yes, that's exactly what I mean!"

After saying that, he pulled off a ring from his finger and handed it to Dingxiang: "Good answer, here's a reward!"

It was a gold ring inlaid with a ruby. After Dingxiang took it, she looked at it in the light, thanked him for the reward, and put it in her purse.

This scene stunned the Lu family.

Such a big and shiny ruby ​​ring, and you gave it to a little girl?

What a loser!

Aunt An, who had been staring at Lu Zhenzhen in the corner, suddenly lit up her eyes and rushed out, "Zhenzhen, I'm your aunt! You've become successful and rich now, but I'm still suffering! I gave birth to you and raised you, and now you're about to be kicked out of the Lu family. Can you at least repay me for giving birth to you?"

"I don't ask for anything else. Just give me a few of the ring on your hand and the bracelet."

As he said this, he wished he could reach out and rub Lu Zhenzhen's arm.

Can Dingxiang let Aunt An get close to her?

He stepped forward and stretched out his arm to block Aunt An: "Aunt An, please move away. If you come any closer, don't blame me for being rude."

He said this and clenched his fist.

Aunt An paused. She knew about the girl Dingxiang.

When she was first bought into the mansion, she was pale and skinny and looked inconspicuous, so she was casually assigned to Lu Zhenzhen.

Who could have known that she was born with so much strength and was so stubborn that she would choose Lu Zhenzhen as her master and would not listen to anyone else.

She said you're welcome, and she really meant it.

He immediately shrank back, then rolled his eyes and sat down on the ground, slapping his thighs with his hands and crying, "Oh, I don't want to live anymore! What's the point of living?"

"I worked so hard to give birth to this girl, raised her with all my heart and soul, and even found her a good marriage. In the end, I ended up with such an ungrateful person!"

"After marrying into a wealthy family, she no longer acknowledges me as her aunt! She even cuts ties with her parents! What kind of evil creature did I raise? A disobedient and unfilial child! Oh, God, please open your eyes and strike this evil creature of mine to death with a bolt of lightning!"

"You evil creature! I gave birth to you and raised you, and now we're done. I asked you for something, but you refused! How can you be so hard-hearted?"

"You unfilial thing, you are so cruel, you will suffer retribution in the future--"

This is Aunt An's specialty.

She was honest in front of Lu Shijie and Wang, but she would use this trick when fighting with other concubines over things or hair.

The other concubines are not as shameless as her, and she succeeds every time.

She just regarded this as her trump card. In the past, whenever Lu Zhenzhen didn't listen to her, she would use this trick and it always worked.

Today, she wanted to use the same trick again to force Lu Zhenzhen to agree.

It’s a pity that the Lu Zhenzhen at this moment is not the same Lu Zhenzhen as before.

Not only was he not panicking at all, he was also calm and composed, holding his chin with one hand and watching Aunt An's performance seriously.

By the way, he also gave a few pointers: "Auntie, your slap was not loud enough? And you can't cry, it delays your speech? And you didn't pinch your thigh hard enough just now, look, you didn't even cry -"

After commenting for a long time, he concluded: "Auntie, I haven't seen you for a few months. Your skills have regressed——"
