As he spoke, he picked out two pieces of cloth for Lu Zhenzhen and gave them to Dingxiang, the maid behind Lu Zhenzhen without any doubt.

Zhao was somewhat confident. After all, in front of so many people, she was Lu Zhenzhen's sister-in-law and she had personally selected the fabric for her. Lu Zhenzhen would probably feel embarrassed to refuse in person.

Lu Zhenzhen was bound to suffer this loss in silence.

But Lu Zhenzhen just didn't meet Zhao's expectations.

She wouldn't even suffer the loss caused by Mrs. Hu, let alone Mrs. Zhao?

He immediately refused without giving any face: "This peach red and plum red are not suitable for me. If sister-in-law likes it, you can take it yourself."

After saying that, he quickly picked out a sky blue and a dark blue horse. Although they were not bright enough, they were calm and elegant.

Zhao didn't expect Lu Zhenzhen to be so disrespectful. Her face darkened and she angrily dropped the two pieces of cloth in her hands. She snorted coldly, turned around and sat aside to drink tea.

Lu Zhenzhen didn't bother to pay any attention to Zhao. This woman had a problem with her brain and she just did whatever she wanted.

I guess she and I are born with different temperaments. We just don't like each other, and I'm used to it.

After choosing the material, everyone just had to wait for the people from Jinxiufang to come and measure the size, and then they dispersed.

Lan felt sorry for Lu Zhenzhen. She thought she had been wronged today. She was the last one to be chosen, and the color of the material she chose was not bright.

He pulled Lu Zhenzhen back to his yard, took out the finest materials stored in his warehouse, and let Lu Zhenzhen choose. "Pick a few more colors, and we can make a few more sets of clothes this time. This will be my private subsidy for you."

As he said this, he also wanted to help Lu Zhenzhen to find out which color is suitable.

Lu Zhenzhen was not polite either. She had already gotten a lot of good things from the Lan family, and this little bit of material was nothing.

While choosing, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed what style of clothes to make with the material.

At the same time, Lan also told Lu Zhenzhen about the current situation of the Prince of Shu's Mansion.

The Shu King's Mansion now has a princess, two concubines, subordinate wives, and about a dozen concubines.

The Princess of Shu has the Prince of Shu, a second daughter, Princess An Ning, and a youngest son, Prince Qing Ning.

The Crown Prince's Consort is the daughter of Duke Dingguo. I'm sure all the prominent families in the capital will come to attend this birthday banquet.

As the Shu Princess's family, they not only represent the reputation of the Marquisate when they go out, but they must also always be mindful of their status. If they lose their composure, I'm afraid the Shu Princess will also be embarrassed...

Just as he was saying this, he heard a commotion outside.

Lan frowned and was about to ask what happened.

Then I saw Aunt Luo rushing in in a hurry.

The two little girls guarding the door followed behind with a frustrated look on their faces. One of them had fingerprints on her face, probably because she had been beaten.

Lan's face suddenly darkened. If Aunt Luo hit the maid beside her, it would be like hitting her in the face.

Before Lan could ask, Aunt Luo saw the various fabrics in Chunhua and Qiuyue's hands. Her eyes lit up immediately and she rushed over, pointing at the fabrics in a haughty manner: "This fabric looks good. I want it. It's just right for making me some new clothes so I can attend the birthday banquet of the Prince of Shu's wife."

As she said this, she asked the two maids following her to take the clothing materials from Chunhua and Qiuyue.

Chunhua and Qiuyue would never let Luo Yi Niang's maid take the things away. They handed the things in their hands to the little maid behind them and said, "This dress material was given to Fourth Madam by our Madam. If Luo Yi Niang wants it, go find the master."

Then he ordered the maid, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you send all the fabrics to Fourth Madam's yard? Otherwise, if some shameless person sees them and shamelessly asks for them, what will you do?"

The two little girls were smart too. They agreed and ran out.

Aunt Luo was anxious: "Don't leave! That's the one I like! Keep them all here! Send them to my yard! The master said that among these three rooms, whoever I like is mine——"

When the people in the Lan family's courtyard heard this, their faces turned ugly.

Qiuyue sneered, "Madam Luo, look at the sky outside. It's still bright and clear today. What are you dreaming about? Believe it or not, if this gets out of this courtyard, not only you, but even the master will be in trouble!"

"Since when has a slave-like status allowed her to run into the principal wife's room and act wildly? She doesn't even take a look at herself in the mirror. Is she even worthy?"

Aunt Luo was furious: "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that? I am the master's concubine, the second wife. Even compared to the main wife, I am no worse."

"The master also said that I can go to the Crown Princess' birthday party in ten days! Why can't I have these pieces of fabric?"

Turning back to Lan, he said, "Every day, everyone in this mansion says that Madam is virtuous. How come Madam is not virtuous now that she has such fine materials and good things? Why don't you share some with me?"

"It seems that Madam is only being virtuous on the surface, seeking a reputation as a virtuous woman. Behind the scenes, isn't it because you can't stand me, your noble concubine, and want to torture me?"

At the same time, she threatened: "I will go back and tell the master! Madam has all these good things, but she hides them secretly! The master wants Madam to take me to the Shu Palace, but Madam is reluctant to even give me a few pieces of good material. It is obvious that she wants me to make a fool of myself and let others see the master's joke -

Lan frowned when she heard this. What Concubine Luo meant was that it was the Crown Prince's Concubine's birthday party, and she actually wanted her to bring Concubine Luo along?

Is he out of his mind?

Many wives of main wives are not qualified to attend this kind of banquet. Even if their Marquis Mansion and the Prince of Shu Mansion are in-laws, they cannot bring their concubines with them, right?

That's a slap in the face of the Princess of Shu!

Concubine Luo was still shouting, "Master said that as the wife of the principal house, you must be virtuous and generous. Master said that whether the third house can have many offspring in the future depends on me! Madam, if you don't give me these materials, I will be unhappy! If I am unhappy, my health will definitely be poor! If I am not in good health, how can I continue the family line and produce offspring for the third house?"

"Madam, I've been in the mansion for almost a month. This morning, I woke up feeling nauseous and vomited at the sight of meat and fish. The servants said I might be pregnant! If you make me unhappy and make the baby in my belly sick, then you're abusing a concubine and trying to get rid of the Third Master's child!"

"Well, I was wondering why the master only has one child now. Maybe it's you, Madam, who's behind this!"

"If you don't give it to me today, I'll go to the master and complain, saying that you're abusing your concubines and harming your offspring. You're really not a good mistress! I want everyone outside to know that you're just a fake virtuous woman!"

Everyone in the Lan family's courtyard was dumbfounded. They had never seen a poor family like Aunt Luo.

So barbaric and vulgar.

Lan had never seen this before, and she felt that saying anything more to such a poor man would lower her status.

He turned around and whispered to Chunhua, "Go to the storehouse and give two pieces of that insignificant material to Concubine Luo. Let her go back first. We can talk about it after Master comes back. How can we continue to make such a fuss like this?"

Chunhua looked reluctant, but it was Lan's order after all, so she had to go even though she was reluctant.

Just as she raised her foot, Lu Zhenzhen stopped her: "Madam, you must not indulge Aunt Luo!"

When Chunhua heard this, she stopped immediately.

"Madam, you only want to get rid of Concubine Luo right now, but you haven't considered that you gave in this time and let Concubine Luo taste the sweetness. I'm afraid you will give in at every step in the future!"

"Now it's just two bolts of cloth for clothes. Tomorrow it'll be headgear and jewelry. The day after tomorrow, won't it be a shop or a farm? After that, will you have to give up your position as the first wife?"
