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

Now that Lu Zhenzhen and the others are coming back, Concubine Xiao can't help but look forward to it when she thinks of Lu Zhenzhen's mouth that makes people neither love nor angry.

Ningping Marquis Mansion.

I heard that Fu Zhiyi and Lu Zhenzhen are coming back.

The Marquis' Mansion, which was originally like a stagnant pool of water, was like a stone thrown into it, causing ripples.

In the past few years, Fu Zhijian was ordered by the emperor to reflect on himself behind closed doors. After two years of self-reflection, he was pardoned.

During the past two years, the Marquis' Mansion has kept its doors closed except for necessary social interactions.

Hu also became very low-key and rarely appeared in the circle of noble ladies in the capital.

As for banquets, they only appear occasionally at the residences of the Duke of Ping, the Prince of Shu, and the Jin family, relatives of the family. Banquets at other people's homes are also rare.

In addition, the emperor's attitude was unclear in the past two years, and many old friends also changed their minds and stopped associating with him.

In the past few years, Mrs. Hu and Fu Zhijian have taken a break and focused on raising their children at home.

Because she was reflecting on herself behind closed doors, Mrs. Hu took the opportunity to sell a group of servants, which saved some expenses.

From then on, the old marquis either practiced in seclusion in his own courtyard or went out of the city to recuperate on a farm, and rarely appeared in public.

Old Lady Bai was even more devoted to chanting Buddha's name and didn't care about worldly affairs.

It was the eldest wife and the eldest master.

The eldest master was sent to the farm, where he and Aunt Guo fell in love and hated each other, torturing each other for half a year.

Because there were servants watching, Aunt Guo did not dare to do anything harmful and could only torture the master in secret.

Unexpectedly, the master gradually gained strength. One time, when Aunt Guo used an embroidery needle to prick the master again, the master resisted.

He accidentally pushed Aunt Guo to the ground, and her forehead hit the corner of the table.

He started bleeding profusely and fainted.

By the time people outside discovered it, half a day had passed.

When I went up and touched him, he was already dead.

The people on the farm were terrified and hurriedly sent someone back to report to the old marquis and Fu Zhijian.

The old marquis went to the farm in person and soon announced that Concubine Guo had fallen seriously ill and passed away within a few days.

Although the master had recovered some strength, he could only walk two steps in the yard before he ran out of strength.

My throat still can't make much sound.

Therefore, he was still allowed to live on the farm, but his treatment was much better than before.

After hearing this, Jin volunteered to take care of the master.

After all, they were the original couple. After taking care of him for a few months, when people came to see the master again, they found that he had become whiter and fatter, and it was obvious that he was well taken care of.

Occasionally, there would be a few low, hoarse, and unpleasant screams in the village.

I heard that the eldest wife was scolding the disobedient servants.

The old marquis and Fu Zhijian were naturally aware of how the eldest wife took care of the eldest master.

But what can Fu Zhijian do? One is his biological father, and the other is his biological mother.

He could only pretend to be deaf and dumb and not know anything.

The old marquis did send someone to talk to Jin, and Jin agreed to it in person. But after returning, she just used more covert means.

Now that they knew Fu Zhiyi was coming back, not only were the masters happy, but even the servants felt that there was hope.

Mrs. Hu first cleaned up the courtyard where the third room had lived before. Although she knew that the possibility was not high, she thought, what if she returned home and stayed there for a few days?

He also sent people to clean up the third room's house.

When I got there, I found out that the Princess of Shu had already sent people to clean up everything.

When old lady Bai knew that the third son and his family were coming back, she was so happy that she chanted sutras to the Buddha for a while longer and burned two more incense sticks.

However, the old marquis has become visibly less energetic in recent years. Although he has more free time, his hair has become increasingly gray.

He often sits for a long time without speaking.

Or just sit there in a daze for half a day.

When he heard that the third wife was coming back, he was happy at first, and then he sighed.

They say good things come in pairs.

The second wife also sent a letter back, saying that she would be returning to Beijing soon.

Fu Zhizhe has been diligent and cautious in his work during the past few years while away, and has received excellent grades in the annual assessments by the Ministry of Personnel.

His term of office has expired this year, and with the help of the King of Shu, he was transferred back to the capital.

Although it is a lateral transfer, I may return to Beijing, which means I will be promoted.

Now, everyone in the mansion was even happier.

Mrs. Hu sent people to clean up the second wife's house, and when she came back she also ordered that the courtyard where the second wife had previously lived be cleaned up as well.

Every day I look forward to his return to Beijing.

The second wife came back first.

The first thing to do after returning to Beijing was to go back to the Ningping Marquis' Mansion to pay a visit to the old marquis and the old lady.

After not seeing them for a few years, the old marquis and the old lady looked even older.

Especially the old lady, when she saw the second master, tears came to her eyes and she held the second master's hand tightly.

"You are such a heartless person, just like the third brother, you ran away and didn't come back for several years. I thought you would only come back after I died--"

The second master's eyes also turned red, and he knelt in front of the old marquis and the old lady: "It is my son who is unfilial and has made my parents worry."

The women in the family all wiped their tears with handkerchiefs.

After much difficulty, they were persuaded to sit down separately. The men went to the front to talk, while the women spoke to the old lady.

Sun was exiled for five years and gave birth to another son. Now she looks a little plumper than before, and the arrogance on her face has been mostly smoothed away. Her eyes and eyebrows are full of a mother's kindness and gentleness.

Talking with the two sisters-in-law of the Hu family huddled together, he felt more down-to-earth than before.

Vigo is already in his teens, well-behaved and a teenager.

Sister Yue is also in her teens. They are cousins ​​and have not seen each other for five years, so they feel a little unfamiliar with each other.

After a few words, we were able to regain some of the feeling of being together as before.

Someone mentioned Lun Ge'er and Jie Ge'er, and they both fell silent.

Lunger now lives with Zhao in the courtyard that she brought as a dowry. A few years ago, the news that Fu Zhiming died on the road reached back to the capital. Lunger and Yujieer observed mourning for him for three years.

After he finished mourning, he did not go out. Mrs. Hu secretly asked someone to find him a private school nearby, where he studied hard every day.

As for Brother Jie, it is a name that no one dares to touch or mention.

On the other hand, Sun happened to talk about the current situation of Zhao and others.

Although Zhao was a woman with two children, no one dared to bully her because she had the Ningping Marquisate behind her.

Fu Zhiming died a few years ago, and Zhao asked her two children to observe mourning for him, which helped to wash away the bad reputation she had received for betraying her own husband.

She no longer acts like a demon, but just does needlework with a few maids every day.

Although the shops and farms in the dowry were not many, at least there was some income, so they could make ends meet.

The old marquis later gave him two farms in private. Although life was not as good as in the marquis' mansion, it was relatively stable.

As for Lun Ge'er, he has grown up after experiencing so many things.

His temper has changed by about 70%.

He is studying hard and vowing to bring honor to the Zhao family.

After Zhao finished speaking, the two sisters-in-law exchanged glances and sighed.

Mrs. Hu looked around and whispered, "What a pity for Brother Jie, it's really—"

Sun's eyes also turned red, and she gritted her teeth and said, "It's all because of that Third Brother who is so shameless. He really hurts others and himself."

Seeing the old ladies and others looking over, the two sisters-in-law didn't dare to say anything more and had to change the subject, talking about the third house also wanting to return to Beijing.

Sun couldn't help but sigh, "Back then, the four of us sisters-in-law went to the manor together to play, to the Moon-Watching Tower together. It seemed like it was just yesterday. Now, in just a few years, everything has changed—"
