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

Especially Aunt Qiu.

He asked before Lan did, "Does Fourth Madam have any good ideas?"

Aunt Qiu felt very miserable.

For half a month now, the third master has rarely entered her room.

No matter how she acted like a spoiled child or used all sorts of tricks, even if the Third Master reluctantly stayed, it was mostly perfunctory.

Having seen the Third Master's great favor, how could Aunt Qiu not see the perfunctory treatment he received now? She's not stupid.

At that time, she suspected that the third master had another vixen outside.

as predicted.

As a concubine, it's good to be favored and have everything you want.

If you are out of favor, everyone will turn against you.

Aunt Qiu has been having a really hard time recently.

Especially last night, the house she lived in was next to Aunt Luo's yard.

They tossed and turned for most of the night last night and called for water three times. She heard it all clearly.

Aunt Qiu gritted her teeth and finally waited until dawn. She planned to take the opportunity to pay her respects to Mrs. Lan to see what the new vixen looked like.

How could he be so obsessed with the Third Master?

She also wanted to compete with Aunt Luo, but she didn't believe that she couldn't beat Aunt Luo.

I didn't expect that when I arrived at Madam Lan's place, I didn't even see Aunt Luo.

The heart immediately felt sour and bitter, and full of jealousy.

When she first came into the family and was the most favored, she didn't see the Third Master protecting her like this, and she came to pay her respects to the Madam obediently.

Why is it that when it comes to the new vixen, she protects her like the apple of her eye?

When she was in favor before, she didn't take Lan, the main wife, seriously. But now, she is eager for Lan to step forward and deal with the vixen Luo concubine.

Seeing that Lan didn't respond to them, they were a little disappointed.

When Lu Zhenzhen said this, not only Aunt Qiu looked at her eagerly, but the other aunts also looked over.

Lu Zhenzhen ignored them and just winked at Zhang Xianjia.

Zhang Xianjia understood what Lu Zhenzhen meant and immediately became happy. She smiled at Lan, "Madam, according to the rules of our mansion, if a concubine or a maid doesn't offer tea to the mistress, even if she is taken in by the master, it doesn't count. Without a formal status, she is at most just a maid kept by the master."

"Even if you're lucky enough to get pregnant in the future, it will either be considered a child born out of wedlock or a child born out of wedlock."

"Since the master doesn't take us seriously, why should we worry——"

These words woke the dreamer up.

The concubines immediately smiled and said, "That's right. If you don't offer tea to the mistress, you're worthless and even worse than a maidservant!"

"It seems the master doesn't really love her! Otherwise, why wouldn't he even give her a name?"

"We were so worried for nothing! We thought it was some high-level vixen! Turns out it's just a fool—"

The concubines and several maids all laughed happily and relaxedly.

Aunt Qiu's eyes lit up. If that was the case, didn't that mean she hadn't fallen out of favor? After all, she was still a legitimate concubine, wasn't she?

Look at that little bitch, is she still showing off? She has to laugh at her.

Not only Aunt Qiu thought so, but the other concubines and maids also thought so.

They all said goodbye and went back to their rooms, intending to disgust Aunt Luo.

After everyone left, the air in the room became much better.

Lan patted Lu Zhenzhen's hand and said, "My child, I know you feel sorry for me! Don't do this again in the future. It's bad for your reputation if you interfere in your father-in-law's affairs."

Lu Zhenzhen sneered, reputation?

The Lan family lives such a miserable life because they are bound by their reputation!

Otherwise, with a disgusting man like the Third Master, I would never be able to vent my anger unless I beat him three times a day.

He waved his hand carelessly and said righteously, "As a daughter-in-law, how can I stand by and watch my wife being wronged? Even if it damages my reputation, I'm not afraid! Anyway, I have severed ties with the Lu family."

"As for this mansion, if I'm restricted and wronged everywhere just to gain a good reputation, I'd rather not have that reputation!"

This was also a subtle reminder to the Lan family.

Lan smiled bitterly and looked at Lu Zhenzhen with satisfaction, not saying a word for a long time.

Zhang Xianjia, on the other hand, was a little worried. "Madam, Fourth Madam, I think Concubine Qiu and the others are going to the southwest courtyard to cause trouble for the new concubine. Who knows, the Third Master will probably take the initiative on the new concubine's behalf and come to bother you again."

"I think you might as well go sit with the old lady—"

Judging from what Zhang Xianjia said, it seems that the third master Fu Heyin has done this many times.

Lu Zhenzhen was even more worried, because she had promised Fu Zhiyi to comfort and take good care of Lan.

What if the third master comes and scolds Lan again and humiliates her?

If this happened in modern times, Fu Zhiyi would be scolded to death for such behavior. This is called outsourcing filial piety.

But in this era, it is normal.

After all, the son is grown up and he has to avoid suspicion with his mother.

To honor one's mother, one must marry a wife and make her work like a slave or a servant in front of her. This is the norm.

At least Fu Zhiyi pays me such a high salary!

Lu Zhenzhen was willing to be a slave.

I might as well stay in Lan's room today.

If the Third Master had any dignity, he wouldn't say anything in front of his daughter-in-law, right?

As expected, just as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were about to have lunch, the third master, accompanied by his newly married concubine Luo, stormed into Lan's yard.

Before she even came in, she accused Lan: "Is this how you manage the household? I didn't expect you to be so jealous at your age? You can't even tolerate my new concubine? You even instigated Concubine Qiu and the others to cause trouble for Qing Niang! It's simply unreasonable!"

"Qingniang is young and doesn't understand the rules of the Marquis' Mansion. I asked her to come and pay her respects later, but you made all these troubles. What do you want—"

The rest of his words came to an abrupt end after he saw Lu Zhenzhen stand up.

The third master's eyes widened and he pointed at Lu Zhenzhen: "You, why are you here?"

Lu Zhenzhen bowed to the Third Master steadily, then stood up and said with a smile, "Greetings, Third Master!"

"It's only natural for a daughter-in-law to serve her mother-in-law. Madam has been feeling unwell these past few days, so as a daughter-in-law, I naturally have to show my filial piety, so I came here to serve Madam with meals. I wonder why the Third Master came here so angry?"

After all, the third master Fu Heming is a man who cares about his reputation.

Just now, my daughter-in-law Lu Zhenzhen was in the room and said some very indecent and disrespectful words.

Even if you feel extremely embarrassed, you have to keep it together.

Therefore, she forced a stiff smile and said, "That's great! You are so filial to your wife. You are a good child! You are indeed worthy of being our good granddaughter-in-law!"

Lu Zhenzhen smiled: "Thank you for the compliment, Third Master! Have you eaten yet? Do you want to eat with your wife? So that your daughter-in-law can show her filial piety?"

She said this, but she was already thinking in her heart that if the Third Master said he wanted to have dinner together, she would definitely let him see what it meant to "you pick up the food and I turn the table, you drink water and I brake..."

While she was still pondering, Aunt Luo, who was left out, couldn't help but pull at the Third Master's sleeve.
