Fu Zhiming sat impatiently on the chair and waited for half a day, until Zhao came in after giving all the instructions.

He rolled his eyes and asked directly, "How can I get rid of this closed-door introspection?"

Zhao glanced at Fu Zhiming coldly, and an indescribable feeling of chill and exhaustion surged in her heart.

It seemed like for the first time she finally saw clearly what kind of man she married was!

In the past, I always felt that although Fu Zhiming was a bastard's son, he was favored by his concubine and the eldest master.

He is also gentle and the couple lives in harmony.

In her heart, she regarded Fu Zhiming as her good man.

Although they had been married for a long time, she discovered many of Fu Zhiming's shortcomings.

But at least Fu Zhiming can still give her face as a wife in public, and now they have Lun Ge'er, so it is not impossible for the couple to respect each other.

Don’t many couples spend their lives like this?

Compared with other men, Fu Zhiming is already pretty good. At least he speaks nicely, is humble enough, and is willing to please me.

Not as good as the best but better than the worst. Compared with the other brothers in the mansion, Fu Zhiming is not much worse.

But since Lu Zhenzhen married into the Marquis's Mansion, she saw how the fourth brother treated Lu Zhenzhen, and she vaguely discovered that her husband Fu Zhiming was unreliable and did not have much affection for her.

But she could also hypnotize herself. What couple didn't go through this? Just be content with this.

But from what happened yesterday, he realized that among the four brothers, Fu Zhiming was probably the least responsible.

When the eldest sister-in-law was poisoned, the first thing the eldest brother Fu Zhijian asked about was her health, and the second thing he asked about was the fetus.

In order to find the real murderer, the eldest brother, as a son, did not give in even a little bit in front of the master.

But Fu Zhiming, after being suspected, did not think about protecting his wife and children. His first reaction was even to hope that his wife Zhao would come forward and speak for him.

That's fine. After all, husband and wife are close and distant, so it's understandable.

But after being punished, he could only be locked up in the yard. He was irritable, incompetent and furious. He scolded the maids and old women and went to seek pleasure with his concubine.

He even beat his innocent children without caring about anything for interrupting his fun.

This made Zhao unable to tolerate it at all!

Lunger was a piece of flesh that fell from her body, and it was because of giving birth to Lunger that she was able to gain a foothold in the Marquis' Mansion.

It was also because of Lun Ge'er that the master looked up to her.

Lunger is her lifeblood! He is her lifeline for the rest of her life!

It is also the blood of the two!

As a father, Fu Zhiming did not protect his wife and children when something happened. Instead, he acted like a bully at home, which really made Zhao feel disgusted.

She worked so hard to protect Fu Zhiming and this family.

Thinking about it now, it just seems ridiculous. There is no point in defending Fu Zhiming anymore.

If possible, Zhao really wanted to give up.

But thinking of Lun Ge'er and the baby in her belly, Zhao gritted her teeth and had to continue to endure.

He forced a smile and said, "I think I'm pregnant!"

"What?" Fu Zhiming jumped three feet high.

With a look of joy on his face, he said, "Hurry up and tell the master and the aunt the good news—"

Zhao stopped her, "I'm just guessing. I haven't confirmed it with a doctor yet! Why are you so anxious? The old man and the old lady are furious right now. If we spread the news that I'm pregnant, wouldn't they misunderstand and think we're using the child to control them?"

"Besides, you've been punished. Whether you like it or not, you should at least save your face, right? At least for this month, cultivate your character and pretend to be deeply regretful and have changed for the better."

"After a month, my pregnancy will be more stable. I'll then announce my pregnancy. Then, seeing that you've reformed, I'll use the child in my belly to beg you. The old marquis and the old lady will relent for the sake of the child, right?"

Zhao explained the situation to Fu Zhiming in great detail.

Fu Zhiming slapped his thigh and said, "My lady, you are absolutely right! I was so happy that I lost my mind! I will change my ways now!"

After saying this, he patted his butt and stood up, then went to the yard and shouted, asking them to clean up the inner study room because he wanted to copy the Book of Filial Piety.

It was late at night and it was almost dark when Fu Zhiming suddenly did this.

The maids and servants were in great trouble.

It was not until dusk that the inner study was finally arranged in a decent shape.

Fu Zhiming couldn't wait to move in. Before moving in, he specially called all his wives and concubines together for a meeting.

The general idea is that the Third Master needs to start cultivating his character and studying hard.

These wives and concubines in the backyard are not allowed to disturb him, nor are they allowed to become jealous and cause trouble, otherwise don't blame him for being ruthless.

As soon as these words were spoken, the concubines all breathed a sigh of relief.

We are neither blind nor stupid. Our third master made a mistake and was locked in the yard and couldn't go out. Just now, even our third grandmother and Lun Ge'er were blamed and beaten.

What about them?

I have been wanting to stay away from you for a long time, and now with these words, it is even more justified.

Zhao felt it was an eyesore when she saw Fu Zhiming's smug look on his face, which said, "Third Master, I want to make progress, so don't hold me back."

But I also felt relieved.

At least I managed to coax Fu Zhiming into behaving well for a while.

As long as Fu Zhiming behaves himself during this period and doesn't cause any trouble, everything should be fine, right?

Because Fu Zhiming moved to the inner study to cultivate his character, Zhao slept alone and did not let the maids stand guard outside at night.

The room was quiet, and only after the curtains were drawn did Zhao dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking back on what happened in the past two days, it feels like a nightmare.

The scene from a few days ago came to my mind again. Lun Ge'er came to pay his respects and I invited him to have dinner.

I originally wanted to remind Brother Lun to stop associating with Liu Sisi and stay away from her.

Unexpectedly, just when talking about Liu Sisi, Lun Ge'er suddenly said something that scared Zhao on the spot.

Lun Ge'er said that the teacher left for a while two days ago for some business, and he took advantage of the situation and sneaked into the garden, saying that he wanted to go to the toilet.

Just then, he saw a bug on a flower in the bush, and Lun Ge wanted to pick that flower to scare Yue Jie'er and the others.

Just hide in the flowers.

He was small, and the flowers blocked his view.

I saw the girl named Xiaoyu beside Liu Sisi sneaking to the edge of the flowers and walking back and forth.

Although Lunger was young, he knew that if he was discovered, he would not be able to catch the bug and might even be reported to his mother.

He just hid quietly in the flowers and didn't dare to move.

In my heart, I kept urging Xiaoyu to leave quickly.

I didn't expect that Xiaoyu didn't know who she was waiting for. After waiting for a long time, someone finally showed up.

Lun Ge'er had also seen that person before. She was the nanny who served his grandmother.

When he went to pay his respects to his grandmother, he met the nanny and she gave him some snacks.
