Seeing that Fu Zhiyi was only focused on the pile of jade vases, Lu Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief: "I was still worried that my sister-in-law would come up with something weird again!"

Pat your chest and say, why didn't you tell me earlier? She's been talking about conspiracy theories all afternoon.

I recalled all the palace fighting novels I had read in my previous life, studied them seriously, and analyzed them one by one.

Guess what trick Hu is using?

What's the trick?

How can she prevent it?

As a result, this is it?

Among the pile of things, Fu Zhiyi only liked the pile of jade huchun bottles, but he had no shortage of such things.

After just a few glances, he sat down beside her and casually dropped a thunderbolt: "Yesterday, my eldest brother came to test me and asked if my wife and I had any thoughts on the title of nobility."

Lu Zhenzhen was speechless. She didn't expect that the first wife would be filled with crazy husband and wife.

Do you have any brains? Fu Zhijian is the eldest grandson of the eldest son of the legitimate family, okay? The court etiquette and laws all account for the heir to the title.

Isn't it better to suspect Third Master Fu Zhiming than Fu Zhiyi?

"That's what I told my brother too." Fu Zhiyi's words made Lu Zhenzhen realize that she had actually complained out loud.

Fu Zhiyi didn't say anything to her and even agreed with her?

Lu Zhenzhen perked up: "That's right! Even if the eldest branch of the family gets into trouble and can't inherit the title, it should be the second branch's turn. Why can't it be our third branch's turn? Is my eldest brother crazy, or is he stuck in the door?"

It seems that Mrs. Hu feels that she is a threat to her future wife of the Marquis, so she is targeting her in every way?

Mrs. Hu's idea was correct. Her future was not to become the wife of a marquis.

But is the direction wrong?

The one who finally inherited the Marquis’ Mansion was the Third Master Fu Zhiming!

Fu Zhiyi listened to Lu Zhenzhen's merciless complaints about his elder brother being stupid and being stuck in the door, and instead of being annoyed, he felt that it was very appropriate.

He felt the same way.

In the entire Marquis' Mansion, the ones who pose the least threat to Fu Zhijian are the third wife and him.

But Fu Zhijian listened to some of Hu's whispers and came to test him.

I really don’t know what to say!

Of course, as a grown man, he couldn't say these words out loud, so he could only complain silently in his heart.

At this moment, listening to Lu Zhenzhen's little mouth humming with contempt for Fu Zhijian and his wife, Fu Zhiyi couldn't help but feel that he had found a close friend.

He sat quietly by the side, nodding from time to time, and occasionally pushing the teacup to Lu Zhenzhen to moisten her throat, allowing her to complain more happily.

After Lu Zhenzhen complained for a while, she felt refreshed.

I feel a little closer to Fu Zhiyi.

After all, sneaking around behind people's backs can really bring people closer together.

My favorable impression of Fu Zhiyi has skyrocketed. What a capable boss!

Not only is there less work, but there is also more money.

It can also attract firepower and help you out when our personnel are under concentrated fire.

The most important thing is that they can actually play crickets with you and provide emotional value.

In her previous life, she was a social animal, and all the good deeds she had done by beating the electronic wooden fish have probably come true for Fu Zhiyi.

This job pays well and the work is so easy that I feel a little guilty and need to show off.

She decided, well, tomorrow she would go to Third Madam Lan and show her filial piety.

These days, Third Madam Lan was mostly in the front porch because she was the housekeeper, so she rarely went there to avoid suspicion.

Have to go tomorrow!

Lu Zhenzhen made up her mind and planned to give Lan a surprise early tomorrow morning.

But unexpectedly, there was a thunderclap first!

Just now, she said that she would study hard with Lan today and serve Lan personally for the whole day, serving tea and water. This made Lan so amused that she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed.

Jin and Qin, as well as several housekeepers' wives, also joined in the fun, praising the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for being as close as real mother and daughter.

Lan's companion, Zhang Xianjia, came hurriedly with a thin layer of sweat on her head. Although she tried her best to hide it, it was obvious that she was not calm.

Zhang Xianjia greeted Jin and the others, then leaned over to Lan's ear and whispered something quickly in a low voice.

The smile on Lan's face slowly faded.

Jin and Qin knew that something might have happened to the third house, and they looked at each other.

Jin said, "Third sister-in-law, if there's something going on at home, you should go back first! Your second sister-in-law and I will take care of the rest."

Lan twitched the corners of her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

He stood up expressionlessly and said, "Then I'll trouble you two sisters-in-law. I'll go back first."

After saying that, he took Zhang Xian's family and rushed back to the third room's courtyard.

Lu Zhenzhen's heart skipped a beat. Something happened to the third house? She couldn't stay out of it, but Lan hadn't called her, so she didn't know whether to go or not.

Just as he was struggling with this, a housekeeper's wife came in from outside the porch with a bitter look on her face.

When she ran into Lan, she felt like she had been rescued. "Third Madam, the Third Master wants to go to the accounting office to withdraw eight hundred taels of silver. He says he's taken a fancy to a girl who's good at bearing children. They've matched their horoscopes and asked a Taoist priest to calculate the auspicious time and direction. He wants to use the silver as a betrothal gift to bring the girl into the mansion."

"As you know, the old marquis has long ago ordered that the accountant's office not pay the Third Master's money for a concubine. The Third Master sent this servant to come to you, the Third Madam, to withdraw this money, ready to use it to buy someone!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire building fell silent.

Lan's body swayed, her face turned pale, and she clenched her teeth, squeezing out a few words from between her teeth: "Let's talk about it when we get back—"

The housekeeper's wife shrank her neck, but she didn't forget to add, "The Third Master is waiting for you, the Third Madam, to give him the silver—"

Zhang Xianjia glared at her and said, "You blind thing! Didn't you hear Third Madam say we'll talk about it when we get back?"

The housekeeper's wife then lowered her head and kept silent.

Lan led the group away in a hurry.

The atmosphere in the porch became relaxed again.

Jin and Qin looked at each other and sighed, "This Third Master is so unbecoming! He's the one who has the most concubines in our mansion, and he's still not satisfied?"

"Two years ago, you treated Concubine Qiu like a treasure, and now you've forgotten about her?"

"Poor third sister-in-law, it's so sad—"

……

After the two of them finished their complaints, they looked up at Lu Zhenzhen's bright and inquiring eyes and suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Alas, it was all because of the third master's disrespect for his elders that they forgot for a moment that there was a daughter-in-law from the third room in this house.

It's so embarrassing for two sisters-in-law to complain about their brother-in-law being unreliable and be heard by their daughter-in-law.

Regardless of whether Jin and Qin were embarrassed or not, Lu Zhenzhen was not embarrassed.

Before, I only heard Haitang say a few simple words, saying that my father-in-law Fu Heyin not only has three concubines, but also four or five maids.

The most favored one was called Aunt Qiu. She had seen her from afar once in the Lan family courtyard. She was a plump and charming beauty.

Ever since Lan had Fu Zhiyi, she devoted all her heart to him and disliked the noise made by these concubines and maids.

In order to avoid seeing them and being bothered, the concubine and the maid were directly arranged to live in the front yard.

They were not required to serve on weekdays, so Lu Zhenzhen never had the chance to see them.

At this moment, the image of the Third Master in Lu Zhenzhen's mind was instantly shattered.

I met him on the day of the tea ceremony. He seemed like a gentleman.

I didn’t expect he was such a pervert!
