In the officialdom, Fu Zhiyi originally planned to welcome the people coming from the capital and give them a chance to get away.

As a result, the person who came brought the emperor's secret decree, which basically meant that after Commander Wei brought his men back to Beijing, all subsequent appeasement and finishing work would be the responsibility of Fu Zhiyi.

He was also responsible for the preparation and establishment of the Maritime Customs.

That’s not all. Fu Zhiyi was also given the right to monitor matters concerning the iron and silver mines and submit secret reports at any time.

Fu Zhiyi was overwhelmed. No, he was just a small magistrate of Nanyue. Did he have to take care of so many things?

If Lu Zhenzhen knew about this, she would sigh and say: Fu Zhiyi is being treated like a beast of burden!

It turns out that as a human being, no one can escape the fate of being an ox or a horse!

But Lu Zhenzhen didn't know at the moment that after seeing Lan, she immediately put her husband Fu Zhiyi out of her mind for the time being.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes, their love was so sincere and touching.

One of them was about to cry: "My Zhenzhen, why are you so thin? Uh, it seems that you haven't lost weight——"

One blinked his eyes and said, "Madam, you've worked hard all the way. You may be tired, but you don't seem tired at all—"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other. Both had rosy complexions and looked very healthy. They seemed to be in good health. They were both a little embarrassed.

However, Lu Zhenzhen reacted quickly and looked at the third master behind the Lan family.

The third master smiled at Lu Zhenzhen and began to boast: "Your wife was very lucky to have been taken care of by me all this time! She bought whatever she wanted to eat and whatever she wanted, and she didn't get angry at all."

"Plus, the weather has been getting warmer as we've traveled south. Your wife used to be very afraid of the cold and would easily get a few minor ailments when it got cold. But this time, she hasn't had a single ailment and is in great health."

Listening to the third master's self-praising words, Lu Zhenzhen had to at least give him face in front of outsiders.

He smiled faintly and said, "Master, you must be tired on this journey.

He turned around and ordered, "Master is tired, take him to the back to rest."

The smile on the Third Master's face froze. No, he didn't show off his achievements just to be sent to rest, right?

He wanted to show that he was useful too!

He opened his mouth to argue, but when he saw Nanny Ye's fake smile, the third master backed off.

Just go and rest.

If you think positively, your daughter-in-law is also caring and considerate of you, right?

Why don’t you look after your daughter-in-law and let others rest?

After comforting himself in this way, the third master happily followed Nanny Ye to the backyard of the county government office.

Nanny Ye knew the status of the third master of the Fu family.

In addition, before the Lan family set off, they had written letters to Lu Zhenzhen and Fu Zhiyi, and knew that the third master would also come with them.

Naturally, there are rooms there, right in the first courtyard.

Lan's room was arranged in the second courtyard. In Lu Zhenzhen's words, they had already left the capital, so who were they pretending for?

Separate the two of them, separate them!

Otherwise, Lan would see the unlucky Third Master every day when she got up and went out.

The third master didn't know anything at the moment. He just followed behind Nanny Ye and looked at the backyard of the county government office.

Unlike the grand and majestic courtyards in the capital, the houses in South Vietnam are more simple.

Watching the third master walk away.

Lu Zhenzhen then winked at Lan, took Lan's hand, and walked towards the backyard, her little mouth kissing her all the time. "I'll have someone arrange for the third master to stay in the front, and the mistress to live with us in the back. We haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's get some sweet kisses."

The Lan family is naturally no exception.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked in hand in hand. The first thing Lan asked was about Lu Zhenzhen's injury, asking if she was fully healed.

Lu Zhenzhen hurriedly said that it was all right.

After returning to the house, before even sitting down, Lan wanted to look at the scar.

Lu Zhenzhen had no choice but to roll up her sleeves to show Lan.

The scab on the scar has fallen off, and now only a pink scar remains.

Lan touched it with a distressed look, then quickly withdrew her hand, fearing it might hurt. "It must have hurt, didn't it? You silly girl, if anything happened to you, how would Yi Ge'er and I survive?"

Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke: "It must have been very painful, right? And very scary, right?"

As he spoke, he hugged Lu Zhenzhen in his arms, patted her on the back, and gritted his teeth: "It's all Brother Yi's fault for being incompetent. He caused you to get hurt. When he comes back, I'll punish him!"

Lu Zhenzhen felt soft inside, leaning against Lan and acting like a spoiled child: "It was so painful at that time! When it hurt, I missed my wife so much——"

At this point, Lu Zhenzhen couldn't help but say, "Madam, here in Nanyue, everyone calls you mother or mother. We're not in the capital anymore, and we don't have to abide by the rules of the Marquis' Mansion. From now on, I'll just call you mother, okay?"

Lan's body stiffened, and it took a while for her to soften. Because she was hugging Lu Zhenzhen, she couldn't see her expression, but she could hear her voice choked with sobs: "Okay, okay, okay, from now on, just call me mother. We don't have to abide by the rules of the Marquis' Mansion anymore--"

Lu Zhenzhen knew that Lan was probably feeling mixed emotions at the moment, so she shook Lan's arm and called out sweetly, "Mom——"

"Oh——" Lan agreed happily.

The depression that had been suppressed in my heart for decades was dispelled by the word "mother".

Before she married into the Marquis's Mansion, she knew the rules passed down from her ancestors: her mother could not be called mother, but Madam; her father could not be called father, but Master.

Before I got married, I didn't take it seriously. I just thought it was just a matter of changing my name.

But after giving birth to Fu Zhiyi, the child could not call her mother, but only Madam, which made her feel uncomfortable.

Now that I have left the Marquis' Mansion, my daughter-in-law calls me mother. I think it won't be difficult to wait for my son to call me mother, who has been delayed for more than 20 years in his life.

Lan was in a good mood, and when she looked at Lu Zhenzhen who was hugging her and acting coquettishly, her heart softened.

He patted Lu Zhenzhen's arm, and then he remembered what he had forgotten because of her interruption.

He hurriedly asked, "What does the doctor say about the scar on your arm? Can it be removed?"

Lu Zhenzhen sighed: "The genius doctor Qi prepared an ointment for me, saying it can remove scars, but it's missing a few rare herbs, so the effect isn't very good—"

Before she could finish her words, Lan interrupted Lu Zhenzhen, "Don't worry, it's nothing! When the news of your injury reached the capital, His Majesty specially sent a box of Jade Muscle Cream as a tribute from the Western Regions. It's very effective in removing scars and beautifying your skin. Only four boxes were sent as tribute this year, so His Majesty gave you one, fearing you'd have scars."

Lu Zhenzhen was stunned. She didn't expect that the emperor actually had some conscience. It was worth all her flattery.

Lan was anxious, so she let go of Lu Zhenzhen and went to the door to urge them to bring in the gifts given by the emperor and the imperial concubine.

Before long, there were several large boxes in the room.

I opened one of the sealed doors and found boxes of various sizes inside.
