The lights in Ruixuan Hall were brightly lit, and a maid had already come forward to invite people inside.

The old lady was still washing up inside and hadn't come out yet, so everyone spontaneously found a place to sit or stand.

The maids from Ruixuan Hall served tea and snacks.

The three ladies were very patient. Even though they knew that Lu Zhenzhen had won a lot of good things yesterday, no one said much when they met today.

Mrs. Hu was persuaded by the maid and remained calm.

Sun looked at Lu Zhenzhen from time to time, then lowered her head to think about it, but she just couldn't understand why Lu Zhenzhen was better than her?

Only Zhao felt a strong sense of unwillingness when she saw Lu Zhenzhen, especially when she saw Lan taking care of Lu Zhenzhen and talking and laughing with her.

"Fourth sister-in-law, your sister-in-law also heard about your visit to your parents' home yesterday. Alas, you were so pitiful that you didn't even get a meal. I say, fourth sister-in-law, a woman's family is her roots! You offended them all by going back this time. I heard that they cut off all ties! You will have no one to rely on in the future, right?"

"If something happens in the future, others will have their families to support them, but you will have no one behind you! Oh, how pitiful that would be—"

"Besides, the marriage between these two families is meant to support each other. Your family is only a fifth-rank official, and they can't provide any support to my fourth brother. But now, you don't even leave this little support for my fourth brother. If this gets out, I'm afraid that my fourth brother and the Marquis' Mansion will become a laughing stock in the capital."

"After all, what girl would sever ties with her natal family as soon as she gets married?"

Lu Zhenzhen really didn't understand why Zhao kept staring at her.

She had just married into the Marquis's Mansion, and it had only been four days at most. Even if she had offended the Zhao family, it would have been very limited.

Zhao was so persistent that people who didn't know would think that she had dug up the Zhao family's ancestral grave.

Lu Zhenzhen has never tolerated people with inexplicable malice.

"Third sister-in-law, what you said is not true! As the old saying goes, obey your father at home and your husband after marriage. I have married the Fourth Master and will be a member of the Marquis's family and his wife. Naturally, I have to rely on the Marquis's family and the Fourth Master!"

"Besides, since I've married into the Marquis' Mansion, I naturally have to trust it wholeheartedly and believe in the strength and abilities of the men there. I have complete trust in the Marquis' Mansion and the Fourth Master! Why does Third Sister-in-law seem to not trust our Mansion that much, but trust her own family more?"

Zhao's originally smug expression suddenly froze.

Lu Zhenzhen continued, "What's more, our Fourth Master is such a distinguished gentleman. He's capable and talented, and he enjoys the care and tolerance of the elders in the Marquisate. He can make a name for himself on his own! Why would he need to rely on so-called in-laws? Third sister-in-law, are you looking down on our Fourth Master by saying this?"

When the topic shifted to Fu Zhiyi, Lan's face darkened.

He slammed the teacup in his hand heavily onto the coffee table.

Zhao panicked. "Stop talking about other people! I'm talking about you! What's this about Fourth Brother Guan?"

After a moment's thought, he added timidly, "Don't just rely on your elders being here to talk nonsense! You keep saying you trust the Marquis's Mansion and your elders, but I heard that on the day you served tea, you taught a lesson to the maid your elders gave you as a reward."

"I think you're just putting on a show. You can only flatter the elders with your mouth, but I don't know how you're bullying them behind their backs!"

The smile on Lu Zhenzhen's face shrank, her eyes turned cold, and she looked a little more imposing. "Then how do you know I only flatter my elders with my mouth and bully them behind their backs? Do you have any evidence?"

Zhao was forced into a corner and blurted out, "Right after the wedding night, the old lady and mother-in-law gave us a few beautiful maids. Who would be happy about that? Don't they all accept it with a smile on their face, but hate it behind their backs? Who hasn't gone through this? I—"

Having said this, I realized that I had let the cat out of the bag.

Horrified, he covered his mouth with his hand.

Lu Zhenzhen was fooled by Zhao's laughter!

What an incomparable idiot this is!

It seems that the living environment in the Marquis' Mansion is really good, otherwise a fool like Zhao would have been finished long ago.

The fact that he can still jump around now shows that the elders in the Marquis’ Mansion are really magnanimous.

At this moment, the three ladies who were considered magnanimous in Lu Zhenzhen's heart, as well as the old lady inside, all looked pale.

The third brother is really a man who doesn't care about what he says. Listen to what he says.

Should they pretend not to hear it, or should they explode on the spot?

Jin was sitting closest to the inner room. When she heard the rustling noise inside, she knew that the old lady was about to come out.

He immediately stood up and scolded, "Old Third, what nonsense are you talking about? What's the matter? Are you dissatisfied with the old lady and me, your stepmother, for arranging someone for you?"

Zhao was so frightened that she fell to her knees with a plop. "Madam, I never meant that! It was just a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue!"

At the same time, he dragged Lu Zhenzhen into the water: "It's all Fourth Sister-in-law's fault. It was her. She was the one who made me slip up with words. She had ulterior motives——"

Lan's expression turned even uglier. She sneered and looked at Jin, "Sister-in-law, I don't know how the fourth family of ours offended the third family. They've only been married for a few days, and the third family already dislikes the fourth family in every way."

"Otherwise, let the Third Family speak and let us all judge for ourselves. If it's truly the Fourth Family's fault, I'll have them apologize to the Third Family! But if the Third Family is deliberately looking for trouble, shouldn't they also give an explanation to the Fourth Family?"

Jin's face became even uglier and she glared at Zhao fiercely, what a complete idiot!

In just a few days, I have encountered so many setbacks and suffered so many setbacks, but I just don’t learn my lesson.

The one who flirts first is the cheap one! What’s even more infuriating is that you can’t even win the flirtation!

It's really hard to watch.

But after all, Zhao is from the first wife's family. Even if she is not his biological daughter-in-law, if something really happens, it will hurt the relationship between the first wife and the second wife.

He was about to scold Zhao and ask her to apologize to Lu Zhenzhen so as to calm the situation down first.

Zhao was furious. Although she was a little stupid, she could still see that Jin was about to get angry.

Gritting his teeth, since he had already offended Lu Zhenzhen, he might as well offend her completely.

He immediately shouted, "Even if I'm wrong, isn't Fourth Sister-in-law wrong? On the day she served tea, she taught Old Madam and the maid you, Third Aunt, a lesson. Isn't that just a warning to you?"

"If she truly respected the old lady and Aunt San, her mother-in-law, would she have taken action against the girl you gave her as a reward? I think she's just hiding something in her heart! She says one thing to your face and another behind your back! Don't let her fool you—"

"If you don't believe me, ask those girls if they were beaten."

Before Lu Zhenzhen could even open her mouth, Haitang, who had followed, also knelt down: "On the day of the tea ceremony, I was indeed beaten—"
