The whole hall was in an uproar.

The corners of Hu's mouth curled up, revealing a secret smile, which she quickly covered with a handkerchief.

Sun looked at Lu Zhenzhen in astonishment, with only one thought in her mind: could it be that she was so brave that she dared to beat the maid sent by her grandmother and mother-in-law the next day, so she caught the eyes of the elders?

Zhao was even more arrogant, pointing at Lu Zhenzhen: "Did you hear that? Did you hear that? That girl admitted that she was beaten!"

The corners of Jin's mouth twitched twice. She really couldn't bear to look at Zhao's character.

Lan's face suddenly turned gloomy.

He stared at Haitang with a hint of cruelty in his eyes.

Haitang kowtowed several times, then, determined, interrupted Zhao, "It was us that day who, relying on the gift from the old lady and the mistress, wanted to give Fourth Madam a head start."

"It's just that Fourth Grandma is straightforward and decisive. Seeing how we treated Da Chong like our master, she first reminded us that it was us who hadn't repented and reformed ourselves twice. Then Fourth Grandma had Dingxiang teach us a lesson twice. This made us wake up and prevent us from making more serious mistakes!"

"What's more, after seeing us sober up, Fourth Grandma was very generous and let the matter go. In the next few days, she treated us the same as the maids she brought with her as a dowry.

"My sister is always there for us. If she doesn't understand something, she'll ask us, always asking for advice. After she's done, she'll even thank us! If she asks us a few more questions, she'll feel like we're bothering her. She even gives us snacks every day!"

"Fourth Grandma is so generous, and we are all convinced by her and have no complaints at all! On the contrary, we are full of gratitude! We offended Fourth Grandma, but after giving us some advice, she was still willing to use us. This is precisely the sincere heart of filial piety to the old lady and the third wife."

"Otherwise, as our Fourth Grandma's newly-wed, she shouldn't have said a word or taken a single step, and definitely wouldn't have risked disapproval by giving us advice! It's precisely because of her filial piety and piety that she didn't want the Old Lady and Third Madam to worry about such trivial matters that she took action!"

"Please old lady and ladies, please take a closer look!"

After saying this, he kowtowed again and prostrated himself on the ground.

Before Haitang finished speaking, Lan's expression turned from gloomy to bright.

Zhao's defenses were broken again: "I hit her! Since when did hitting the maid pointed out by the elders become filial piety? Fourth brother's wife is a silver-tongued woman, and her maid is also sharp-tongued and spouts nonsense!"

"According to what this girl said, we can also beat and scold the girls that the elders point out in the future. Is that also respecting the elders?"

Just as Zhao was making a fuss, a cough was heard from the inner room.

Zhao immediately stopped talking.

Old Lady Bai supported the maid and slowly walked out from the inner room and sat on the couch.

Before she even sat down, Zhao was about to complain: "Old lady, my fourth brother's wife--"

"Okay! I heard everything from behind! You guys are arguing so loudly, and I'm not deaf!" Bai said unhappily.

After hearing this, the three ladies and grandmothers all stood up and apologized.

Mrs. Bai waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright, I heard everything clearly in there! Although the fourth family taught the maids pointed out by the elders a lesson, the maids also admitted that they were the ones who offended their master first!"

"In this mansion, we must clearly distinguish who is the master and who is the servant! Even if you are a maidservant serving an elder, no matter how respectful you are, you have no right to act superior in front of the young master! Young masters should respect their elders, and for the sake of their elders, they should show you some respect. That is the upbringing of young masters and young ladies."

"But if a servant takes advantage of serving his elders to act like a troublemaker in front of the young master, he should think clearly about his own status!"

"I know I've lost my energy over the years. I just want to have fun with my grandchildren and not meddle in other people's affairs. We are kind to our servants in this mansion, but this kindness doesn't mean indulgence! Otherwise, in this mansion, the elderly who serve the elders are more respectable than the masters. How can that be considered decent?"

Jin's face turned pale when she heard this. This was a hint at her and Hu's dissatisfaction with them for being in charge of the servants in the Marquis' Mansion over the years.

It was hard to tell, so I could only respond hesitantly.

Zhao wanted to say something, but was glared at by Hu. Then she looked at the expression of the old lady Bai above her and became discouraged.

After Old Lady Bai pointed at Lady Jin, she lowered her head to look at Haitang who was still kneeling.

He waved at Lu Zhenzhen, motioning her to come over to him, patted her hand and said a few words to comfort her.

Lu Zhenzhen naturally went downhill, said a few good words for Haitang and the others, thanked the old lady and the third lady for their kindness, and let Haitang get up.

Everyone smiled at each other, and the matter was completely over.

After comforting Lu Zhenzhen, the old lady gestured for Zhao to come over to her and patted her hand. "Old Third, I know you have good intentions! But you still need to work on your mouth. No nice words sound good when they come out of your mouth."

Zhao agreed dejectedly.

Old lady Bai successfully smoothed things over and resolved the farce.

The next step is to serve the old lady breakfast.

After what happened just now, Mrs. Hu became more alert, fearing that she would make any mistakes.

I originally wanted to trip up Lu Zhenzhen, but I gave up that idea.

Lu Zhenzhen was smart and agile, so she had an idea of ​​what to do after watching Hu and the others demonstrate it.

He tried to see which dish the old lady was looking at, then he picked up a piece and put it on the plate in front of her.

The old lady looked at Lu Zhenzhen, smiled and picked up the food and ate it.

Lu Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

The meal was completed peacefully.

As usual, after serving the old lady her meal, the three ladies said goodbye and returned to their own courtyards.

The four granddaughters-in-law usually stay with the old lady to have dinner before going back.

But today, the old lady Bai said, "The eldest lady will stay for a while, and you can all go away."

The second and third wives looked at each other, then hurriedly stood up and said goodbye.

The Hu family and the others also said goodbye and left.

The second and third wives walked in front, chatting.

Lu Zhenzhen and Hu fell behind.

As soon as they left the old lady's yard, Mrs. Hu sneered softly, "Fourth brother's wife is really amazing. In just a few days, you've conquered everyone in Tingtaoju. You can even make the people the old lady gave you loyal to you. What a talent—"

Zhao followed behind, saying sarcastically, "You dared to hit someone on the first day, so you must be good at it! These girls are so delicate, how can they withstand a few blows? Naturally, they are scared by being beaten-"

Sun, Sun quietly stepped aside, not wanting to get involved.

Lu Zhenzhen tried hard to force a forced smile: "No matter how powerful I am, I'm not as powerful as my sisters-in-law! I don't know which one of them has cultivated the ability of clairvoyance and superb hearing, but when we hear about Taoju, it's as if we saw it with our own eyes and heard it with our own ears. I still need to learn more about this skill from my sisters-in-law——"
