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

Mrs. Hu was choked up. She really didn't expect Lu Zhenzhen to bring out three wives.

Instead, he held her back.

How could she say that she had never thought of letting the three wives come out of retirement?

Hu, who is always eloquent and says one thing to one person and another to another, doesn't know what to say at this moment.

She forced a smile and said, "Why should we trouble the three ladies? They already have daughters-in-law. If we still have to trouble them to manage the household and worry about it, how can we daughters-in-law feel comfortable?"

Lu Zhenzhen said nonchalantly, "What's there to be embarrassed about? I see the ladies are still young, and the housekeepers are experienced, so they're definitely better than us!"

"This is all for the Marquis's Mansion, and also so that you, my eldest sister-in-law, can rest assured and recuperate so that you can give Sister Yue a chubby little brother in the future. The three ladies will definitely be willing to work a little harder, right?"

Jin's eyes flashed, and she picked up the teacup to cover the corner of her mouth.

Qin's eyes rolled, and she cheerfully expressed her opinion first: "I think what the fourth family said is right. You kid, why are you being so polite to us? If you rest assured, we old bones can still hold on -"

Mrs. Hu was now in a state of grievance, unable to express herself in words.

He wanted to refuse, but he had said too much before in order to drag Lu Zhenzhen into the water. If he regretted it now, not only would his ill intentions be exposed, but he would also offend the three ladies.

But if she didn't refuse, would her right to be the housekeeper be gone? Mrs. Hu was unwilling to accept this.

His face turned pale in an instant, his mind raced, and he couldn't think of the right words to politely refuse.

Everyone present was not a fool, and they could see Hu's embarrassment and panic.

Some clever people have guessed that Mrs. Hu's earnest words in asking Lu Zhenzhen to help her today probably had no good intentions.

Mrs. Hu was restless, her face flushed, and she felt more embarrassed than ever before.

She felt that everyone's eyes were filled with sarcasm and ridicule, mocking her for having planned for so long but to no avail and for having been laughed at for nothing.

Only Zhao Shi didn't realize it. From what Lu Zhenzhen meant, she thought that if the housekeeper power was given to the three wives, what would be her role?

He racked his brains to come up with an excuse: "The ladies are all old, how can we burden them? Wouldn't it make us look unfilial and incompetent? It's better to leave such trivial matters as housekeeping to us, right, sister-in-law——"

Before he finished speaking, the faces of the three older ladies who were forced to do so darkened. As women, who would like to say that they are old?

Especially Jin, the look she gave Zhao was particularly sharp and displeased.

But Zhao didn't notice it and was still looking at Hu.

Mrs. Hu had never been so pleased with Mrs. Zhao as she was today. She hurried down the stairs and said, "I thought so too. I'm mainly worried that it will tire the ladies. It's my fault. I can't rest assured to recuperate—"

As he spoke, he looked towards Jin for help.

Jin paused, put down the tea bowl in her hand, and said, "The eldest and fourth daughters-in-law are right to worry. The children are all filial. As elders, we can't go against your wishes. It's a bit embarrassing."

As he spoke, he cast his eyes towards the silent Bai in the upper seat: "Old Madam, you are the best at managing the household affairs. What do you think we should do?"

A gleam of light flashed in the old lady Bai's cloudy eyes, and she smiled: "I, the Lord of Heaven, have to settle this case for you! Since the husband says he is right and the wife says she is right, why not compromise?"

"What the fourth elder said is right. She just got married and doesn't even have a complete family. I won't drag her along this time. I'll just let her learn on the side."

"As for the second and third sons' wives, they are still young and inexperienced. It would be fine if they were each given some tasks to give them some practice."

"As for the rest, you three sisters-in-law can handle it. The eldest wife will take charge, and the second and third wives will assist. We will continue to do what we did in the past."

With what Old Lady Bai said, the matter was finalized.

Except for Mrs. Hu, everyone was quite satisfied.

Especially the first wife Jin and the second wife Qin, the eyes they looked at Lu Zhenzhen became much more friendly and kind.

Zhao was assigned the job of taking care of the flowers, plants and trees in the mansion. Although the pay was not much, she was already satisfied.

Looking at Lu Zhenzhen again, I feel that she was being too clever for her own good. She was probably trying to retreat in order to advance, but she didn't expect that this retreat would result in the loss of the housekeeper power she had obtained.

Live it!

Zhao, gloating over Lu Zhenzhen, felt that she had an advantage over him, and went back happily to figure out how to take over the power she had obtained.

Sun didn't want to get involved in any trouble, and she was extremely envious of Lu Zhenzhen for staying out of it perfectly.

If she had known earlier, she would not have rushed to take on the job of babysitting. She could have just followed Lu Zhenzhen and not had to do anything.

He sighed and went back slowly.

Since the three ladies were going to take over the power in the mansion again, they naturally had to get together to sort out things and divide the power. They agreed to go to the front porch to handle the affairs.

Only Lu Zhenzhen and Hu were left.

One is free and relaxed, the other is anxious and worried.

After all, Mrs. Hu had been the housekeeper for many years and was not as impetuous as Mrs. Zhao. Although she hated him in her heart, there was no sign of anything wrong on her face at the moment.

He smiled at Lu Zhenzhen and said, "Fourth sister-in-law, now we are the only two people left with nothing to do."

Lu Zhenzhen smiled back: "Isn't this what my sister-in-law asked for? She can take this opportunity to have a good rest, recuperate, and give birth to a big fat nephew for us!"

Mrs. Hu was choked and her face darkened. She left like a gust of wind with a group of maids and servants.

Lu Zhenzhen was not in a hurry either. She fell behind and walked slowly towards Tingtaoju.

Because Lan went to the front with the first and second wives to manage the affairs, Lu Zhenzhen didn't have to go to her courtyard to study.

The time suddenly became free, and people had a rare moment of leisure.

Returning to Tingtaoju, I hugged my private belongings, kissed and touched them, and counted them again. I felt that life could not be more beautiful than this.

Then I heard Ruixiang outside say that she had something to report.

He hurriedly put away his private belongings, then suppressed his greedy look and walked out seriously: "What happened?"

Ruixiang came up and said, "A little girl came to Grandma's yard and secretly called Mother Hu over. I asked someone to follow her and found that Mother Hu was dodging all the way to Grandma's yard."

Went to Hu's courtyard? Lu Zhenzhen felt a little regretful. Then she wouldn't know what they talked about.

Ruixiang whispered, "Don't worry, Fourth Grandma. I have a cousin who works as a sweeper in Great Grandma's yard. I've asked her to be on the lookout. If Mother Hu goes to Great Grandma's yard, I'll ask her to secretly listen in and see if she can catch a few words."

Lu Zhenzhen hadn't expected Ruixiang to have such abilities and methods. She nodded and said, "If you can hear it, listen to it. If you can't, don't force it. Don't let your cousin get caught in the act. If you do hear something useful, don't mistreat your cousin."

Ruixiang was full of confidence. If she could help Fourth Grandma find out the news, why would she be afraid that Fourth Grandma would look at her differently?

After agreeing, he hurried off to wait for news.

In the Hu family's courtyard, the maid Bailing was guarding the gate and not allowing anyone to approach.

In the inner room, Mrs. Hu was sneering and questioning Mother Hu: "Is this what you meant by guaranteeing she would take the bait?"
