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

Mother Hu finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Grandma."

"What are you talking about? Say it quickly." Mrs. Hu was very impatient.

Because of Mother Hu's so-called important words, she pushed Fu Zhijian into her aunt's room every night.

If what Mother Hu said doesn't matter at all, she will skin Mother Hu alive!

Mother Hu cautiously moved closer to Mrs. Hu and pleaded, "Grandma, please have some mercy and save us, the whole family. We are all going to be exiled to the village."

"Life in the village is bitter and cold, how can our family endure it? Please, Grandma, give us a hand! We will never forget your kindness and will work like slaves for you in the future to repay you."

Mrs. Hu had no patience to listen to all this: "You came to me just to talk about this?"

Seeing Mrs. Hu's unhappy expression, Mother Hu hesitated for a moment, knowing that if she didn't say something that would satisfy Mrs. Hu, she could forget about expecting her help.

Gritting his teeth, he leaned over to Hu's ear and said, "Grandma, I was kicked out of the mansion and my whole family was exiled to the village because I discovered Fourth Grandma's secret—"

Hu finally showed some interest: "What secret?"

Mother Hu licked her lips and whispered something in Mrs. Hu's ear for a long time.

Mrs. Hu's expression kept changing with what Mrs. Hu said.

Finally, he sneered, "I told you she's a treacherous woman with a soft heart. She's hiding something inside! All her excuses in front of the old lady and the others were fake! She's trying to retreat in order to advance!"

"Well, well, well, you're such a good Lu! You may not be from a high-born family, but you're quite bold. You've just married into the Marquis's mansion, and yet you're already plotting so many things!"

But soon, Mrs. Hu regained consciousness and said, "Are you sure? According to what you said, the Lu family is already wary of you. How could they let you know such a confidential matter?"

Mother Hu's back was covered in sweat. Her eyes rolled around as she replied, "I overheard all this! Fourth Madam is very careful. She never allows anyone from the Marquis's Mansion to get close to her affairs. The person she trusts the most is her maid who came with her as a dowry."

"She was having a private conversation with her maid, and I happened to overhear it! Otherwise, why would she rush me out of the mansion? She was afraid that I would spread her ambitions—"

As she spoke, Mother Hu began to believe it herself.

When Hu heard this, he thought it made sense.

Otherwise, Lu Zhenzhen had been married for more than a month, and if she wanted to deal with Mother Hu, she would have done so long ago. There was no need to wait so long for her to suddenly attack.

The feeling is that someone overheard a private conversation and made him angry and embarrassed.

Although there were still some doubts, Mrs. Hu didn't want to ask any further questions.

After hearing what Mother Hu said, she would have to be more careful with Lu Zhenzhen in the future, in case her plan really succeeded!

Since the question was so important, Mrs. Hu didn't want to stay here any longer and turned around to go back to her room.

But she was stopped by Mother Hu: "Grandma, our family's affairs——"

Mrs. Hu said nonchalantly, "Why are you so anxious? Even if you're still a member of the Third House on the surface, you've just been banished to the manor by the Third Madam."

"If I intervene now, wouldn't that confirm the fact that there's a connection between you and me?"

"You can stay at the manor for a while. When the storm has passed and Third Madam's anger has subsided, I will find a way to transfer you back from the manor."

After hearing this, Mother Hu was so grateful that she knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Hu on the spot.

Mrs. Hu left Bai Ling at the door and went back to her room to rest.

Bailing also gave Mother Hu a few words of advice and told her to stay in the house and not run around. At this time, the inner and outer courtyards were locked, and there were guards patrolling.

I definitely can’t get out.

Let Mother Hu be patient and let her out tomorrow morning and let her leave the house.

After saying this, he locked the door from the outside and went to report to Mrs. Hu.

After returning to the inner room, Mrs. Hu was no longer sleepy. She put on her coat and sat under the lamp thinking about how to deal with Lu Zhenzhen and make her behave like the fourth lady of the marquis's mansion.

Bai Ling walked in, plucking the wick, and couldn't help asking, "Grandma, are you really going to transfer Madam Hu's family back to the Marquis' Mansion when the time comes? Not to mention that it's not worth offending the Third House for them! And as for Mrs. Hu, she's an ungrateful person who betrays her master for a little selfish motive. We can't have her! Over the years, Mrs. Hu has made a lot of money under the guise of looking after the Fourth Master. She's been supporting the whole family."

"If I'm not satisfied with all these benefits, what if the lion demands too much if I follow you, grandma?"

Mrs. Hu sneered, "A servant who betrays his master like this deserves to be beaten to death! Your grandmother is not stupid. Would she offend the Third House for a servant? I was just trying to fool her with a few words to prevent her from making a scene and embarrassing everyone."

"Wait till tomorrow morning, after you see her out, drag her straight to the farm. Even if she makes a scene, no one will care."

Bai Ling was relieved when she heard this. "Grandma, do you really need my orders for such a small matter? Tomorrow morning, I will have someone send her home directly. I will watch her being taken away and then come back to report to you."

Seeing that Mrs. Hu looked sleepy, Bailing poured her a bowl of calming soup that was hot on the stove and served it to her.

After drinking the tranquilizing soup, Mrs. Hu couldn't help but mutter, "That Mrs. Lu is from a humble family after all. She's not very resourceful, and she has no confidence! Mrs. Hu was acting like that in their yard, and yet she's endured it until today. She even let Mrs. Hu overhear her private conversations. It shows that even her cleverness has its limits."

On the other hand, he felt a little disappointed: "If it were my temper, I would have let Mrs. Hu go home and retire the same day I took over the power. Why would I keep her in the yard to cause trouble?"

Bai Ling echoed: "With Fourth Madam's background, and Mrs. Hu serving Fourth Master for so many years, how could she have the confidence of First Madam? She's already lucky enough to just be able to worship Mrs. Hu! If it were someone timid, maybe Mrs. Hu would still be in charge of the courtyard—"

Hu felt that she had found Lu Zhenzhen's weakness, and she felt secretly proud in her heart. Lu Zhenzhen was nothing special.

She also continued to complain, "So for families like ours, it's better to marry someone of equal status. Otherwise, if girls from smaller families marry in, even these housekeepers won't be able to control them."

He said this with a bit of complacency.

Bai Ling also said, "That's right! Our mansion is also lucky to have you, the eldest madam, to keep it in check. Otherwise, this mansion would have been in turmoil long ago! The second madam doesn't like worldly things, the third madam is impatient, and the fourth madam is from a small family and lacks confidence. This family still needs you, the eldest madam, to manage it."

These words touched Mrs. Hu's heart: "You're right! I was in charge of the household before, and there were no mistakes. Everyone thought being a housekeeper was easy! They really didn't know how much effort I put in! Now let them see how powerful the housekeepers in our mansion are. If they make a few more mistakes and are controlled by those housekeepers, they will know how difficult it is!"

"When the time comes, I want them to beg me to come back and manage the household!"

After realizing this, Hu felt refreshed, and the tranquilizing soup took effect. He climbed onto the bed and soon fell into a dream.

The next morning, after a rare good night's sleep, Mrs. Hu saw Master Fu Zhijian coming out of the concubine's room with a happy face.
