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

Chapter 28: You have to help your sister-in-law with this little favor, right?

When Lu Zhenzhen heard this, she raised her eyebrows: "Did she really say that?"

Ruixiang nodded, very nervous: "Fourth Grandma, what should we do? I think she is a traitor, thinking that by hooking up with the eldest grandma, she can turn the world upside down! We can't let such a person stay with us——"

Lu Zhenzhen thought for a moment, "Mother Hu has taken care of the Fourth Master for so many years. Even if she hasn't done anything great, she's definitely worked hard. We have to catch her in the act before we can chase her away! Have someone keep a close eye on her and see what she's planning with Grandma."

Ruixiang clenched her fist excitedly: "Don't worry, Fourth Grandma, I will definitely have someone keep an eye on her!"

After Lu Zhenzhen finished her instructions, she asked Moli and Haitang to pay more attention to the yard. She was mainly worried that Mother Hu would use some dirty tricks, such as sprinkling some ashes into the food or spitting some saliva, which would be too disgusting.

Jasmine and Haitang hadn't thought much about it at first, but after hearing what Lu Zhenzhen said, they felt sick and quickly promised to pay attention to it.

After explaining all this, Lu Zhenzhen went to the Lan family courtyard again and waited for her to go to Ruixuan Hall together.

As usual, after paying their respects and serving breakfast to Old Madam Bai, everyone was about to leave.

The eldest wife, Jin, then dropped a bombshell: "The fourth son has also married a wife. All the brothers of his generation have started families. We, the elders, can rest assured and enjoy a peaceful life."

"Nowadays, there are so many people and so many things to do in this mansion, and it all depends on the eldest daughter-in-law to support her alone. She is so busy every day that I feel so exhausted just watching her."

"I think the second, third, and fourth daughters-in-law are all good kids. I thought it would be better to let them help the eldest daughter-in-law so that she can take a break."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao's eyes lit up first, not to mention others.

She has been coveting the power of housekeeper for a long time.

But she also knew that she was the third child. Not to mention that there was Hu above her, even if there was no Hu, Sun and Lu Zhenzhen were more legitimate than her.

After all, her man is the only illegitimate son in the mansion.

Every day, not only was Mrs. Hu, the housekeeper, surrounded by people, but the mothers who were in charge, as well as the maids around the old ladies and the wives, were all very attentive to Mrs. Hu.

She became jealous.

Not to mention, this butler can make a lot of money. God knows how much Butler Hu has put into his own pocket over the years.

She is not greedy. If she can really be given some housekeeping power, she will definitely not be greedy for power. She just wants to make more money to supplement her family.

She immediately stood up and said excitedly, "Old lady, Madam, I am willing to help my sister-in-law share her worries."

Mrs. Hu's face was not very good. Seeing that Mrs. Zhao was so enthusiastic and anxious, she rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Jin rubbed her forehead and looked at Sun and Lu Zhenzhen with a smile: "Where are you two?"

Hu also looked over.

Sun hesitated for a moment; she didn't want to get involved.

But Qin immediately spoke up for her: "Since your aunt has spoken, you should help your sister-in-law."

Qin agreed, and Sun had no choice but to agree. She nodded reluctantly, but she said in advance: "I have never managed a household, and I don't dare to take on such a big responsibility. If my sister-in-law needs my help to look after the staff or help take care of the children in the mansion, that's fine, but I can't help with anything else."

Sun was just aloof and didn't want to get involved in these mundane affairs, she was not stupid.

The Hu family regarded the power of stewardship as theirs and would not allow anyone to covet even a little bit of it.

Taking power from her now is no less than snatching food from a tiger's mouth.

In the future, all the people in this mansion will belong to the first wife, so why should she, a girl from the second wife, be disliked?

I just took this most leisurely and least threatening job.

As expected, Mrs. Hu smiled a little.

Everyone's eyes were now on Lu Zhenzhen, and she was the only one left.

Lan tried desperately to wink at Lu Zhenzhen, but was blocked by Qin's smile: "Third sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Are your eyes uncomfortable?"

Lan smiled slightly: "My eyelids have been twitching since I woke up this morning. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."

"Oh? Is it the left eye or the right eye that's twitching?" Qin asked.

Lan frowned: "My right eye twitched, so I felt a little panicked, afraid that something bad might happen."

Lu Zhenzhen was about to show some concern for Lan, but was stopped by Hu, who said with a smile on her face: "Fourth sister-in-law, you are the only one left now. Don't refuse and say that you can't manage the household!"

"I know everything. Third Aunt has been keeping you by her side these days to teach you how to manage the household! I heard that you, Fourth Sister-in-law, are learning very quickly, and Third Aunt is full of praise for you!"

"Since you are so capable, Fourth Sister-in-law, you must help me! You have to know that I haven't been able to recover since I gave birth to Sister Yue. Recently, my spirits have been declining day by day. I asked the imperial physician to come, and he said that I was suffering from a deficiency of blood and asked me to take good care of myself and not overwork myself."

"That's why I shamelessly begged the old lady and our wife, hoping that my brothers and sisters could lend a hand and help me take care of the house for a while, so that I can take a break and recover before being brought back."

"Fourth sister-in-law, you know that I, your eldest brother, have been married for so many years, and now I only have one child, Sister Yue. Now, while I'm still young, I want to take care of my body and give Sister Yue a brother. Sister-in-law, you have to help me with this little favor, right?"

Mrs. Hu spoke with such sincerity, especially when she talked about wanting to take good care of her body and give Yue Jie'er a younger brother, her eyes became red.

Lan didn't know what to say now, as what Hu said was right.

Now she and Fu Zhijian only have one legitimate daughter, Yue Jie'er, and one concubine's daughter, and no male offspring.

Among the three sons of the fourth generation of the Marquis's Mansion, one was Wei Ge'er, born to the second wife, Sun.

There are two more, one is Lun'er, born to Zhao, and the other is Jie'er, the illegitimate son of Fu Zhiming.

Mrs. Hu was naturally anxious too. She had been pregnant three years ago and had a miscarriage when she was five or six months pregnant. It was a boy.

Since then, Mrs. Hu has never been happy again.

Now that Mrs. Hu has brought this up, it is difficult to refuse both emotionally and logically.

"If I am lucky enough to recover and give Sister Yue a younger brother, not only will Sister Yue be grateful to you, Fourth Sister-in-law, but your eldest brother and I will be grateful to you as well!" Seeing that Lan's expression was moved, Mrs. Hu immediately added another handful of firewood and carried Lu Zhenzhen on it.

As soon as these words came out, Qin also came to Hu's aid: "That's right, Fourth Family, your eldest sister-in-law sincerely asks you to help manage the household, so don't refuse."

Lu Zhenzhen smiled shyly, "It's not that I can't agree to my sister-in-law's request, but I really know my own limitations. Although I've been following our wife around to learn how to manage the household these past few days, I've only learned the basics. I haven't even figured out the basics of Tingtao Residence yet, so how could I dare to take on such a huge task at the Marquis' Mansion?"

"If I ruin my reputation, it won't be a big deal. But if I do something wrong and bring disaster to the Marquis' Mansion, it will be a big deal!"

"Besides, it's not that I'm shirking responsibility, it's really about why you're going so far away, sister-in-law? There are clearly three great Buddhas right in front of you, why don't you go and worship them instead of asking me, a boy in front of the Buddha, for help?"

"Sister-in-law only asks the three ladies for help. Can they really just sit there and watch?"

Lu Zhenzhen kicked the ball back to Hu.
