These words are very touching.

Not only did Mrs. Lan hug Lu Zhenzhen and burst into tears on the spot, but even Zhang Xian's wife and several other older maids turned their heads and wiped their tears.

After a while, Zhang Xianjia was the first to come to her senses and help persuade Lan: "Madam, you can rest assured now. The Fourth Master can protect you! With such filial children like the Fourth Master and the Fourth Madam, your good days are still ahead!"

"Stop crying! If you keep crying, the Fourth Master and the Fourth Madam will be distressed again."

After hearing this, Lan slowly stopped crying and just held Lu Zhenzhen's hand tightly: "Good children, you are all good children!"

Seeing that Lan was so excited, she cried again, and after venting her anger, she looked tired.

Lu Zhenzhen knew that letting Lan have a good sleep at this moment was better than anything else.

After giving Zhang Xianjia a look, the two coaxed Lan into the inner room. After a while, Lan fell into a deep sleep, and the two came out.

Lu Zhenzhen also didn't forget to tell the older maids, "I have Aunt Luo's indenture in my hands, so please don't let Third Master hear about it. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, even Madam won't be able to protect you. Do you understand?"

Chunhua, Qiuyue and other older maids were all loyal to the Lan family, so they naturally swore that they would never reveal a single word.

After giving the maid in Lan's room a heads-up, Lu Zhenzhen saw that Lan was sleeping soundly, so she told Chunhua and Qiuyue that if Lan was fine when she woke up, then it would be good. If there was anything wrong, they would have to call the imperial physician.

Chunhua and Qiuyue nodded carefully and agreed.

Only then did Lu Zhenzhen return to Tingtaoju.

When Fu Zhiyi came back in the evening, he went to pay his respects to Lan first, and the mother and son talked about something else.

Anyway, it was rare for Fu Zhiyi to have redness at the corners of his eyes, and his expression was much more relaxed than usual.

When they both went to bed at night and there was no one around, Fu Zhiyi spoke: "Thank you for comforting my wife today. My wife is very happy, and I am very happy too."

Lu Zhenzhen waved her hand: "Hey, we're family, why should we be so polite? This is what I should do!"

Fu Zhiyi was silent for a moment. "Mother has been patient all these years, turning a blind eye to those concubines, making many people in the mansion laugh at her. I used to have some resentment towards Mother, thinking she was too weak."

"Now I know that she was so patient because of me—"

Having said that, Fu Zhiyi didn't continue.

Lu Zhenzhen understood that the reason why Lan was patient was because of Fu Zhiyi's health problem.

Now the mother and son should have talked it out and put aside their past grudges, so Fu Zhiyi was very happy, and Lan was also very happy.

Since both bosses were happy, Lu Zhenzhen felt relieved, as it proved that she had done her job well.

He then humbly said, "This is because you and your wife have a deep mother-son relationship, and you both care about each other! It's just that you lacked communication before, so there were some misunderstandings between you. Now that we've talked it out, the misunderstandings are resolved, and that's good!"

Fu Zhiyi hummed, "I'm very happy that you're so attentive to your wife! I'll remember your kindness."

After saying the last sentence, Fu Zhiyi stared at Lu Zhenzhen without hesitation.

When Lu Zhenzhen heard this, she immediately smiled. What does this mean?

This shows that the boss sees my efforts and knows my contribution in this matter!

Leaders usually say this, so isn’t the meaning obvious?

This means you should trust yourself more and promote and reuse your performance!

Lu Zhenzhen tried hard to restrain her joy, but of course some of it showed on her face. She had to let her leader see her response to his affirmation!

Cautiously yet excitedly, she said, "I just did a small thing within my own responsibility! I don't deserve such praise from the Fourth Master! As long as the Fourth Master and his wife are fine, I'll be fine too!"

After expressing her loyalty, Lu Zhenzhen looked at Fu Zhiyi tentatively.

Fu Zhiyi's eyes were complicated, deep, and looked at her with a little eagerness, which made Lu Zhenzhen feel a little embarrassed. Oh, it turned out that she was still not experienced enough. She could not bear the look of respect from the boss.

You need to practice more, become thicker-skinned, more ruthless, and more smooth-talking!

Fu Zhiyi saw that Lu Zhenzhen was a little embarrassed, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He turned over and lay down: "It's getting late, take a rest!"

Lu Zhenzhen stood there in a daze.

That's it?

No way, just a verbal reward? No supplies?

Be it gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, or even better, banknotes, she can accept them all!

Seeing that Fu Zhiyi had closed his eyes, Lu Zhenzhen knew that there was no hope for material rewards. She sighed silently and comforted herself. She remembered reading someone on the forum once saying that if the leader really valued you and treated you as his own, he would not give you small favors, but would give you a brighter future and more rewards.

Let’s just assume that Fu Zhiyi is the same!

Lu Zhenzhen fell asleep with beautiful expectations, and when she woke up, she was bumped by a small box next to her pillow.

box?

When he opened it, he saw a jade hairpin inside. The water head was very fine. Lying in the palm of his hand, it was like a pool of clear water, and the fingers were reflected with a little green shadow.

Is this for yourself?

Lu Zhenzhen was so excited that she held the jade hairpin and kissed it twice.

In modern times, this thing would be a treasure worthy of being exhibited in a museum.

Now it belongs to me!

Just thinking about it makes me want to kiss her again.

When he looked up, he met Fu Zhiyi's complicated and incomprehensible eyes, and was stunned.

As soon as his hand loosened, the hairpin almost fell.

Fortunately, he was on the bed. He hurriedly grabbed the hairpin and stuffed it back into the box.

Lu Zhenzhen straightened her hair and forced herself to remain calm: "Fourth Master, are you asleep? Have you combed your teeth? Have you washed your hair——"

Only when I was halfway through did I hear clearly what I was saying?

He patted his cheeks to calm himself down.

Fu Zhiyi shook his head speechlessly: "I've already washed up. I've been busy these past few days. I won't be eating in the room this morning, and I'll be back late at night. Don't wait for me, just leave the door open."

After saying this, he took two steps, stopped, and turned back: "Although the jade hairpin is nice, there is no need to be so happy! If you like it, I can give you a few more in the future."

Lu Zhenzhen covered her old face with her hands. Taishe is dead!

In the following days, Fu Zhiyi really went out early and came back late every day. No one knew what he was busy with, and Lu Zhenzhen didn't ask.

Lan's mood improved a lot. The next day, she went to Ruixuan Hall to pay her respects and resumed her duties as usual.

Seeing that Lan had returned to normal, Old Lady Bai didn't say much.

Everyone just pretended nothing happened.

Indeed, the third master has always been so erratic, taking a concubine every few years, and everyone has gotten used to it.

It was just taking a concubine, which was not a big deal in the eyes of the masters of the marquis's mansion.

What everyone is paying attention to right now is the Hu family.
