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

Lan did not make things difficult for Aunt Luo. She took the tea readily, touched the tea to her lips with a gesture, and then put it aside.

"Since you have entered the Marquis' Mansion, you must abide by its rules. You don't need to serve me here on weekdays, so just serve the master."

After saying that, he took off a gold bracelet from his wrist and stuffed it into Aunt Luo's hand.

Aunt Luo had just entered the Marquis's Mansion and had little experience.

I just felt that this gold bracelet was heavy, and there were beautiful patterns carved on it. It looked very valuable.

All of a sudden, the so-called grievance disappeared, and he happily put it on his wrist and said perfunctorily, "Thank you, Madam, for the gift."

He stood up on his own, walked to the side of the third master and showed it to her.

The Third Master was naturally full of praise, praising Aunt Luo's wrist for being so white, which looked even better with the gold bracelet.

He also said that if Aunt Luo liked it, he had a few better ones and would send them to her later.

The two of them were so genuinely in love that they treated everyone else as nothing.

He completely ignored the fact that besides Lan, the maids and the old women, there was also his daughter-in-law in the room.

Seeing the pain on Lu Zhenzhen's face, Lan knew that she was embarrassed and felt distressed.

He hurriedly said, "Tea has been served and I have met the person. Master, please take Concubine Luo back."

Immediately issued an eviction order.

The third master didn't care either. Now, in his heart and eyes, only Aunt Luo was his life.

Lan asked them to leave, which he wanted more than anything. He nodded vaguely, then took Aunt Luo's hand and the two of them walked back to the small courtyard in the southwest corner in a very affectionate manner.

Such a high-profile behavior does not give any face to the Lan family at all.

The servants in the Lan family's courtyard were all very angry when they saw what happened.

The eyes of the older girls were red with anger.

Seeing that the Third Master and Aunt Luo had gone far away, the little maid came in to pack up the prayer mat and cups.

The eldest girl, Chunhua, spat, "We don't want the cup and the prayer mat anymore. I don't know who touched them. They've definitely made our yard dirty! The cup was smashed, and the mat was burned."

The little girl was also very smart. After agreeing, she took the initiative to say, "We need to wipe the floor here too. We need to wipe the floor with hot water later so that it will be clean."

Chunhua nodded approvingly: "You are smart. I will reward you later."

The little girl happily packed up the cups and prayer mat and went out. After a while, she came back with a bucket of hot water to mop the floor.

Lan smiled helplessly: "I'm not angry, why are you angry?"

Another older girl, Qiuyue, said quickly, "We can't stand seeing those vixen outside. They make us angry just by looking at them."

Zhang Xianjia was also worried: "Madam, the Third Master seems to be very devoted to Concubine Luo. I heard that he took her in as a concubine. If Concubine Luo really has a son in the future, I'm afraid the Third Master's heart will be even more inclined to her——"

Lan frowned but didn't say anything.

Lu Zhenzhen raised her hand to indicate that she had something to say: "Well, well, Aunt Luo is not a good concubine."

"Not a concubine?"

"Didn't you say that the master gave the eight hundred taels of silver to the Luo family as a betrothal gift?"

Lan and Zhang Xian's family asked at the same time.

Lu Zhenzhen pulled out a contract of sale from her sleeve and handed it to Lan: "This is Aunt Luo's contract of sale."

Lan took it and looked at it. It was indeed an official deed. It clearly stated that Luo's parents sold their daughter Luo Qingniang to the Marquis' Mansion as a slave for 800 taels of silver. From then on, they would have nothing to do with each other regardless of life or death. At the end, it was stamped with an official seal.

Lan fell silent as she looked at the official deed in her hand.

Zhang Xianjia was also stunned.

So, they worried for nothing?

"Where did this come from?" Lan shook the indenture in her hand. Before Lu Zhenzhen could answer, she figured it out: "Is it from the fourth brother?"

Lu Zhenzhen smiled shyly and nodded.

When Fu Zhiyi came back last night, he stuffed the indenture contract into her hands.

When Lu Zhenzhen saw it, she was also shocked.

Fu Zhiyi was indeed a man who did great things quietly. In just a few days, he had obtained the indenture contract of Aunt Luo.

You have to know that there are different levels of being a concubine.

A first-class concubine is equivalent to a second wife, and the status of the children she gives birth to is slightly lower than that of a legitimate child.

A second-class concubine must be from a good family and cannot be beaten or scolded easily, nor can she be sold.

The third class is the concubine, who is usually promoted from a maid or bought from outside. She has a humble status. Even if she gives birth to a child, the child will have the lowest status among the illegitimate children.

Generally, children born to concubines will be given some things and divided up after they get married.

The Third Master seemed to want to make Concubine Luo his concubine, and any child she gave birth to in the future would be similar to his legitimate son Fu Zhiyi.

But once Fu Zhiyi got the indenture, Aunt Luo became a third-class concubine. Even if she had children in the future, they would be given some things after she got married and the children would be distributed. She would never be able to achieve anything significant.

He really is a villain! With one move, he completely destroyed the escape route for Aunt Luo and her children.

Seeing that Lan had finished reading the indenture, Lu Zhenzhen reached out and took it back. Under the surprised eyes of Lan and Zhang Xianjia, Lu Zhenzhen smiled embarrassedly: "The Fourth Master instructed that this indenture be shown to Madam, so that Madam can be assured!"

"As for this contract, it's better for us to keep it for Madam! Otherwise, if Madam becomes soft-hearted, or if Third Master gets angry, Madam might not be able to resist and give it away."

"Now just think of her as a girl bought by the Fourth Master and me. The indenture will remain in our hands."

Lan and Zhang Xian's family looked at each other in bewilderment. Is there such a thing?

Lan was worried: "This is not a good idea, is it? If word gets out that the Third Master, as a father, took the maid from his son's wife's room as a concubine, wouldn't that be unpleasant?"

Zhang Xianjia's eyes rolled and he clapped his hands, "Madam, what's wrong with this? This is absolutely wonderful! The Fourth Master and the Fourth Madam are telling you not to get involved in this matter at all. You just need to pretend to be confused. I'm sure the Third Master doesn't have the nerve to ask his son and daughter-in-law for the indenture!"

The more I talk about it, the more I think this is a brilliant thing to do!

The rules of the Marquis' Mansion are there. As long as the Third Master still has some dignity and the old Marquis and the old lady are still around, he won't dare to make a big fuss.

Zhang Xian's family was happy, but Lan's face showed a trace of pain: "It's all because I, as a mother, am too useless. I have caused you young people to worry about it and get involved in this matter——"

His voice choked as he spoke.

Lu Zhenzhen quickly tried to appease him, "Madam, your words are rather strange, aren't they? You raised the Fourth Master when he was little, and the Fourth Master and I raised you when he was old! When the Fourth Master was little, it was because of your care that he was able to grow up."

"Now that the Fourth Master has grown up, he is also capable of protecting you! This is also a filial act from the Fourth Master! Do you still want to reject the Fourth Master's filial piety?"

"They are both mother and son. In this kind of situation, you have a son and a daughter-in-law, but they can't support you and help you? Who else can you count on?"
