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

Mrs. Hu's letter described the situation of the Marquis's family. For example, the old Marquis almost never went out of the house and stayed in the small courtyard where he was recuperating.

The old lady also said that she wanted to practice seclusion. She would eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures in the Buddhist temple behind Ruixuan Hall every day. She would not come out easily and would not let anyone visit her to pay their respects, saying that they would disturb her peace.

The eldest master failed to become a marquis, and even the position of the crown prince fell to his grandson. He was too embarrassed to go out, so he simply stayed at home and became the Grand Marquis.

It's okay if it's just the inner court of the Marquis' Mansion, but he has to get involved in everything that happens outside.

Fu Zhijian was on the verge of collapse and had complained to Mrs. Hu several times.

If it weren't for the pressure of filial piety, I'm afraid Fu Zhijian would have fought with the master.

Mrs. Hu was so angry. After all, they had become the Marquis and the Marquis's wife, but they still had to endure such humiliation?

Since she couldn't touch the eldest master, Hu would touch his favorite part.

Isn’t the master partial to Mrs. Hu and Concubine Guo, mother and son?

Whenever Fu Zhijian got angry, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Hu and Jin, would start to torment Concubine Guo and Concubine Zhao in the backyard.

Not only was the monthly allowance for the Zhao family's Lanyueyuan delayed every month, but even the daily supply was much less.

Not to mention Concubine Guo. As soon as the eldest master went out, Concubine Guo would be called by Jin to set the rules.

It’s not that Zhao and Concubine Guo haven’t complained before, but now in the mansion, the old marquis and the old lady rarely go out to see people, and there are only the eldest master and the eldest mistress in charge.

Even if the eldest master wanted to interfere in the affairs of the inner house, the eldest wife, Jin, would not allow it.

Moreover, whenever the master intervened on their behalf, there would only be two or three days of improvement, and after two or three days, things would be back to normal.

No matter how angry the master was, Jin and Hu would at most say that it was the subordinates who were confused in their work, give them a couple of slaps as a token of their respect, and then turn around and give them a large reward.

After a few times, everyone in this family can see that things are different now and the master's words are no longer effective.

With the hints and approval from Jin and Hu, the subordinates naturally knew what to do.

These servants who have been working in the mansion for many years are very gentle and gentle when it comes to torturing people. You can't find fault with them in anything, but everything they do makes you feel uncomfortable. It's like a thorn in your throat, and you can't even express how uncomfortable you are.

Life in the courtyard of Aunt Guo and Fu Zhiming gradually became difficult.

The monthly allowances for the servants in their courtyard were always paid last. All the allowances were in line with the standard, not a penny more, and the quality was acceptable, with nothing to fault.

The mung bean soup used to cool down in the summer is always less available in their yard than in other places. And you can tell at a glance that it was just cooked casually by the woman in the kitchen. It is half-cooked and sometimes even hurts your teeth.

The clothes that need to be changed in summer are also the last to be changed in these two courtyards, and the materials are the worst.

The same goes for weekday meals. When it’s their turn, they’re always the last to be served. The food is either too greasy to eat or too bland with no oil or water at all.

If you ask a few more questions, the people in the kitchen will get angry and say that they have high aspirations but a fragile life. The master they serve is just a half slave and half master, so how can they think of themselves as the second-level master?

It’s good enough to have something to eat, but you are still picky. Who do you think you are?

Their kitchen is for serving the master of the Marquis's Mansion, not for serving these things.

If you have the ability, don't eat what's in their kitchen, just cook it yourself.

As time went on, the servants in Lanyue Courtyard and Aunt Guo's courtyard became disunited.

Serving a master doesn't require wealth and glory, but it can't even guarantee food and clothing, and you have to endure bullying every day. Who would do that?

Those who have connections have asked others to transfer them elsewhere.

Those who have no connections are also discouraged, and when they serve, they are lazy and only move when poked.

If the servant becomes lazy, the life of the master will become difficult.

Fortunately, the maids around Zhao were loyal and honest and worked hard to maintain the relationship.

The little power Zhao had was taken away after she gave birth to my sister.

Seeing that she had lost power, the few people she had gathered in the past had already defected to the Hu family.

Even if you want to turn the tide, you are powerless to do so.

Moreover, Jin and Hu acted very well on the surface, and no one could find fault with them. Even if Zhao wanted to find someone to judge the case, she couldn't produce any evidence.

After complaining to Fu Zhiming for a few words, it was said that Fu Zhiming was now highly trusted by the Third Prince and was often not at home.

As soon as he came back, Zhao pulled him over to complain about this and that, but he didn't take a word of it to heart. He just thought Zhao was hateful and he hated going home even more.

Zhao was helpless and could only tell her parents about it.

I thought my parents' family would stand up for me, but unexpectedly they turned a deaf ear to me.

Zhao sent several letters, but not only did she not receive any comfort or help from her parents' home, but she was scolded and told that she was useless. She had been married to Fu Zhiming for many years and had two children, but she still couldn't keep his heart.

Now you are still worrying about these trivial matters. If you have the heart, you should care more about your man.

Zhao was not stupid. After receiving this scolding, she thought about Fu Zhiming's behavior in the past few months and understood.

After some inquiries, I found out that Fu Zhiming had a mistress outside.

Most people in the mansion knew the news, but they kept it from her.

Upon further inquiry, it turned out that the mistress Fu Zhiming kept was none other than his good cousin Liu Sisi.

It is said that three months ago, Fu Zhiming went out of the city on business and happened to meet Liu Sisi, who was sent by the Zhao family to the Taoist temple for meditation.

Liu Sisi was being bullied by several Taoist nuns in the Taoist temple. Fu Zhiming happened to see it and rescued Liu Sisi.

Liu Sisi hugged Fu Zhiming and dared not let go. She cried and said that after she was sent back to the Zhao family by the Ningping Marquis Mansion, she was placed under house arrest by the Zhao family.

It was said that Zhao had brought a message to the Zhao family, saying that she was restless in the Marquis' Mansion and seduced Fu Zhiming, so she was sent back to the Zhao family.

Let the Zhao family live for a while, and then find a random family far away to send Liu Sisi away.

Liu Sisi begged for mercy, but in the end the old lady of the Zhao family couldn't bear it anymore and compromised by sending Liu Sisi to a Taoist temple for practice.

She said she was practicing asceticism, but the Zhao family had probably sent someone to take care of it, and the Taoist nuns in the temple all bullied her and Xiaoyu, the master and servant.

She could hardly hold on any longer and was planning to commit suicide.

Who would have thought that God would open her eyes and allow her to see Fu Zhiming again before she died, thus fulfilling her wish.

After saying this, he wanted to commit suicide.

Where had Fu Zhiming ever seen such a passionate love? Moreover, before in the Marquis' Mansion, he and Liu Sisi had the kind of ambiguous relationship that they didn't say it out loud, but they both knew it.

Now seeing the beauty crying as delicately as pear blossoms hit by rain, and saying over and over again that she loves me, and that just seeing me once has fulfilled her wish, and that she doesn't want to be a burden to me and would rather die, and that she only hopes to meet me soon in the next life, how can I bear it?

In a moment of excitement, he brought the person out of the Taoist temple.

It is easy to bring this person out, but it is difficult to settle him down.

Ningping Marquis Mansion is definitely not an option, and the Zhao family can’t go back either.
