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

Haitang, Moli, and Ruixiang, the three maids, didn't know what Lu Zhenzhen meant by this question. They looked at each other, and Haitang whispered back, "To Fourth Madam, Fourth Master's wet nurse got into trouble when he was little, and she was released a long time ago. It was later that Third Madam sent Madam Hu to Tingtao Residence to take care of Fourth Master because she was honest and dutiful."

Mother Hu puffed out her chest and said, "Although I'm not the Fourth Master's wet nurse, I raised him under my care. My affection for him is no less than that of a wet nurse—"

Lu Zhenzhen smiled. If it wasn’t a wet nurse, it would be easier to deal with!

"So from what I hear Mama Hu saying, other than not giving birth to the Fourth Master and not breastfeeding him, the Fourth Master's achievements today are all due to Mama Hu."

In a word, the familiar feeling of oppression came again. Haitang and the other two girls couldn't help but tremble all over, wishing they could escape.

Mother Hu didn't know if she was really drunk, but she didn't even hear the murderous intent in his words.

She thought Lu Zhenzhen was praising her. Of course, she still had a little bit of rationality left, so she said modestly: "It's not entirely true. The Fourth Master can be where he is today because of his extraordinary talent. It's that, that Wenquxing who descended to earth——"

Lu Zhenzhen slammed the table in anger: "Shut up! What's your intention in saying this? Where do you put the Fourth Master? Where do you put the old Marquis, the old mistress, the master and the mistress, and all the elders? Even if the Fourth Master is a genius, it's thanks to the careful nurturing and teaching of the elders in the mansion that he is where he is today! But from the mouth of a wicked servant like you, it's all your credit."

"I don't even know what merits a servile servant like you could possibly have? Your entire family relies on the Marquis's Mansion for food and clothing, and you even have some respectability within the mansion! This is all the grace bestowed upon you by the mansion and the Madam! Not only do you not think of repaying the Madam's kindness, but you actually use the Madam's trust in you as a capital to show off? And you're even trying to show off your achievements to the Marquis's Mansion?"

"If there were no Marquis' Mansion, would you be where you are today? You serve and take care of the Fourth Master, is it possible that the Madam and the Marquis' Mansion didn't give you a monthly salary? Taking care of the Master is your job. If you do it well, it's your responsibility. If you don't, you should be punished!"

"Since when has simply doing your job been considered a merit? Could it be that this Marquisate can't find another mother to replace you? The Fourth Master has placed so much trust in you because you're an elder, and this is how you repay him and his wife?"

"Such a cunning servant actually has the nerve to claim credit? I will definitely report this to the Fourth Master and the Madam. We don't want to keep such a cunning servant in our courtyard who never thinks of repaying the Marquis's kindness and only wants to use his duties to control his master!"

His words were very powerful.

Mother Hu was dumbfounded. Even if she was confused, she knew that if this matter really got to the Madam, she would probably not survive.

His body softened and he fell to his knees, begging softly, "Grandma, good grandma! I know I was wrong! I was foolish. I took advantage of the fact that I had taken care of the Fourth Master for a few days and I didn't know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was! I deserve to die!"

As he said this, he slapped himself several times on both sides.

"I just beg you, Madam, to have mercy on me and let me go just this once! I won't dare do it again! My husband passed away early, and I'm the only one left to support the elderly and children. If this gets to the Madam, my family will be wiped out. I beg you, Madam, to be magnanimous and let me go just this once!"

He was crying and looked very miserable.

Although Lu Zhenzhen knew that Mother Hu's behavior was mostly for her to see.

However, her goal had been achieved. She just needed to suppress the thoughts of these restless slaves. She didn't want to force them and cause a death.

He held it for a while longer, and seeing that Mother Hu was frightened out of her wits, and the servants in the yard were all on edge for a long time, he finally spoke: "Forget it, after all, you have served the Fourth Master for many years, and even if you have no merit, you have worked hard. I will remember your mistake for now, and you must do your job honestly in the future. If you make any mistakes or do anything else, you will be punished!"

Mother Hu escaped death, but her back of clothes was soaked with cold sweat.

He no longer had the arrogant attitude he had just now. He took off the key and the pair of cards from his waist with a dusty face and handed them to Lu Zhenzhen respectfully.

Lu Zhenzhen gestured for Dingxiang to take the key and the identification card, then asked, "Only the key and the identification card? No account books?"

Mother Hu quickly replied, "Grandma, the storehouse and account books of Tingtao Residence are all in the front yard. I'm only responsible for the monthly wages of the people in the backyard and the cleaning of the house. The account books for the furnishings are also in the front yard. At the end of each year, the head of the front yard brings people to count them according to the books."

Lu Zhenzhen was speechless. It was just that Mother Hu was in charge of more than a dozen people in the backyard, paying them a monthly salary, watching them clean, and getting rewards or something like that.

She has so little power, yet she's so arrogant that people who don't know her would think she's in charge of the entire Tingtaoju.

It was a waste of all her effort to deal with the person just now!

I couldn't help but secretly complain in my heart, he is indeed going to be a high-ranking official in the future, he is so cunning, suspicious and has a strong control ability.

This Tingtaoju is actually entirely controlled by Fu Zhiyi.

She even pretended to say that the backyard was left to her to take care of. What was she supposed to take care of?

Working as a porter every month, I receive the wages from the chief accountant of the Marquis's Mansion and then hand it out?

Can't we just order a girl to do it?

Who are you looking down on?

On second thought, isn’t this just perfect?

High pay, low workload! Isn’t this the dream job for office workers?

It must be because she just traveled through time and her mentality hasn't changed yet. She really deserves a beating!

I repeated it silently three times: I am a salted fish lying down, waiting to become a first-rank imperial lady! I am a salted fish lying down, waiting to become a first-rank imperial lady! I am a salted fish lying down, waiting to become a first-rank imperial lady!

Successfully suppressed the eagerness to try career.

As the saying goes, a new official starts with three things!

She just took office and she's already had two setbacks. It's time for her to take a break.

She waved her hand to signal Mother Hu and everyone to leave, and hurried into the inner room. She took the pile of gifts on the table, touched them one by one, and from time to time she picked them up and kissed them twice. She felt so happy in her heart.

forecourt.

Fu Zhiyi went to the ancestral hall and wrote Lu Zhenzhen's name on the family tree, after his name.

For a moment, I looked at the two names side by side, a little lost in thought.

If nothing unexpected happens, Lu Zhenzhen will accompany him for the rest of his life, right?

The old marquis Fu Honglin patted Fu Zhiyi on the shoulder and said, "Now that you're married, live a good life!"

Fu Zhiyi nodded.

After leaving the ancestral hall and on the way back to Tingtaoju, I heard Daman's report about everything that happened in Tingtaoju.

His eyebrows twitched twice: "Did Fourth Grandma really say that?"

Daman nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I'm afraid that the Fourth Madam's movements today can't be concealed from the mansion—"

Fu Zhiyi sneered, "What's there to hide? Not only is there no need to hide it, but whoever wants to know, just tell them! By the way, I'll find two people who are not careful with their mouths to spread the word for your Fourth Madam in the mansion—"
