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

Lu Zhenzhen looked at Zhao as if she were a fool. What a fool!

Do you know that your words have implicated your man's mother?

I'm afraid you have forgotten that your husband was born out of wedlock, and his biological mother is also a concubine, okay?

Lan's face was also filled with embarrassment. What happened yesterday was not decent in the first place. Even though Concubine Luo was disliked by the Third Master in the end, it was not a good thing after all.

Being pitied by a younger generation from the next room in front of everyone and given some advice made Lan feel ashamed.

Especially being sympathized by a nephew's wife who was born out of wedlock is really a thorn in one's throat, neither being in a good position nor being in a bad position.

After being lectured by Fu Zhijian, and then returning to her parents' home and discussing things with her parents, Mrs. Hu completely let go of her vigilance and prejudice against the third wife and Lu Zhenzhen.

After they finally understood that the biggest threat to them in this mansion was Fu Zhiming and his wife.

His attitude towards Lu Zhenzhen improved a lot.

Lu Zhenzhen was not the kind of person who would fight to the death. When Hu took a step back and took the initiative to show goodwill, she naturally took the opportunity to accept Hu's olive branch.

After all, no one wants to have another enemy, right?

Occasionally, I would go to Hu's yard to sit and chat.

After their relationship eased, Jin became much more satisfied with Hu, not to mention the old lady Bai. She found several excuses to reward Hu with a lot of things.

Hu Shi understood even more clearly that making friends with the third branch would bring only benefits and no harm.

Seeing Zhao like this, she hurriedly jumped out and said, "Third sister-in-law, when is it our turn as younger generations to butt in on the affairs of our elders? What's more, what you said, if you know it, means that you feel sorry for the Third Madam and are standing up for her. If you don't know, you might think that you are dissatisfied with Concubine Guo and look down on the concubines and illegitimate children of our Marquis' Mansion. If that were the case, then you shouldn't have married Third Brother in the first place. Don't you agree?"

It can be said that Hu understood Zhao better, and these words accurately stabbed Zhao in the heart.

Zhao had been married into the Marquis's Mansion for so many years, and everything was fine except for one thing that bothered her: she was not marrying a legitimate son, but a bastard's.

Of course, given the Zhao family's status and conditions, it was already a rare opportunity for her to marry Fu Zhiming.

Moreover, Jin was not a mean stepmother. She treated the four masters equally in the Marquis' Mansion.

But in private, there are always some minor details that remind people of the difference between legitimate and illegitimate members of the Zhao family.

Year after year, it became a source of worry.

This was the thing she hated most in her life. Now that Hu was slapping her right in the face, her face turned pale.

He shook his head in panic, "Sister-in-law, please don't lie! I, I'm just feeling sorry for the Third Madam. How could I be dissatisfied with Concubine Guo or look down on her and my master?"

"I know you, sister-in-law, are unhappy that my second sister-in-law and I are managing your household! But after all, we are a family. By saying this, aren't you trying to sow discord between me and the Third Master? You—"

"Okay! Stop talking!" Jin couldn't stand it anymore and frowned.

After Jin spoke, Hu curled her lips and turned her head away.

Zhao didn't dare to say anything more. She returned to her seat with a pale face and dared not say another word.

Jin then smiled apologetically at Lan, intending to comfort her. However, when she looked closely, she found that Lan looked even better than before.

For a moment, the words of comfort were unable to come out, and the words on the tip of his tongue changed to surprise: "Third sister-in-law looks good today?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked towards Lan's face.

I didn't have the nerve to look closely before, but now I realize that Lan not only looks good, but the depression in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes has mostly disappeared. She looks much brighter and more energetic.

Qin smiled and asked, "Oh, what kind of magic medicine did you take? The way you look today, standing next to the fourth sister's family, they don't look like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but more like sisters."

Lan smiled slightly: "Second sister-in-law is always good at talking nonsense! I am already old, how can I compare with those young girls?"

They sat down while chatting and laughing.

Qin came over and asked, "Have you used any new methods to maintain your skin recently? Or have you used new rouge and powder? With our relationship, you can't hide anything from me—"

Lan shook her head: "It's just that the fourth daughter-in-law has been trying to cheer me up these days. When I'm in a good mood, my complexion naturally looks better."

Qin was still a little unconvinced and thought that Lan was making excuses. Who in the mansion didn't know about the commotion caused by the Third Master and Aunt Luo yesterday?

Lan was not such a carefree person in the past.

Even if you are a Bodhisattva, you can’t be radiant today after being angry yesterday, right?

As they were talking and laughing, old lady Bai came out.

He first looked at Lan, then paused, but quickly returned to normal.

If Lan and Lu Zhenzhen hadn't been paying close attention to the old lady, I'm afraid they wouldn't have noticed it.

After the customary greetings.

Lan said, "Old Madam, your daughter-in-law has an unwelcome request. I'd like to trouble you."

Old Madam Bai sighed, "I know everything about what happened in the Third House yesterday! It was all because of the Third Master's disrespect that he allowed Concubine Luo to cause trouble in your room! You've been wronged! The old Marquis and I both know! Don't worry, you won't be wronged in vain! The old Marquis will naturally take care of the Third Master. As for Concubine Luo, tell me what I mean. She was just a maid who signed a contract to sell herself to the Marquisate, and now that she's in bad health, she'll just be a maidservant from now on! Don't call her Concubine anymore!"

Everyone looked at Lan with envy. As expected, the old marquis and the old lady favored the third wife and were making decisions on behalf of the third wife.

Lan shook her head: "Old Madam, this is not what your daughter-in-law wants! Our Master has been tossing around for so many years, I'm used to it! I just want to ask you, old Madam, to take the old Marquis's note and go to the Imperial Hospital to ask Doctor Hu to come to the house and see the Third Master——"

Before he could finish his words, both Jin and Qin looked at him with a look of disappointment.

Are you stupid? The Third Master was such a riot yesterday, and you still called in a doctor for him? Are you flattering him?

What? Are you worried that the Third Master's mischief will make him too ill? Ask the imperial physician to give him a proper checkup before he goes on a mischief again?

Isn’t Mrs. Lan too virtuous?

Even the younger generation, the Hu family, looked at the Lan family in confusion.

Only the old lady, Mrs. Bai, narrowed her eyes and looked at Mrs. Lan with a hint of realization. "Ask a doctor for the Third Master? What bastard has the right to need an imperial physician? If he feels unwell, it's just as well to ask Doctor Zhong in the mansion to take a look."

Mrs. Lan did not give in. "I'm afraid Doctor Zhong can't cure the Third Master's illness! It would be better to ask Doctor Hu to take a look!"

Old Madam Bai's expression darkened. "Have you thought it through? Do you really want to do this?"

This doesn't sound right.

Jin and Qin looked at each other, then at Lan.

Lan's face was calm. "My daughter-in-law has made up her mind. One cannot hide one's illness and avoid seeing a doctor. It's better to see it clearly and understand it clearly! Even if I die, I will be a clear-headed ghost, right?"
