Although Dama was a little confused, he knew that since his master had spoken, there must be a reason for it, so he quickly agreed and went.

Let’s talk about Tingtaoju.

Mother Hu lost most of her dignity in her life today, so she was naturally unhappy.

In front of Lu Zhenzhen, he was still barely suppressing himself.

After leaving the courtyard, she couldn't help but turn around and spit: "She is just a concubine's daughter of a fifth-rank official. With such status, she is even worse than the maids in front of the old lady and the madam in our mansion!"

"You're just lucky. You married our Fourth Master, but you actually think you're the Fourth Madam. You're so arrogant that you're stronger than me! Bah, okay? I've taken care of the Fourth Master for years, so I should have some dignity in front of the Madam!"

"She's a new arrival, and she can still act like a grandmother in our mansion. But once she leaves the Marquis' Mansion, with her status, who will care about her? She's so arrogant and domineering right after she arrives, and she can't even tolerate the people who serve the elders. If we don't find a way to control her, I'm afraid that in the future, those of us who serve the Fourth Master will have no place to stay—"

"Don't give me the chance, otherwise, I'll make her know who has the final say in Tingtaoju!"

There was a smart guy nearby who, after hearing this, was afraid of getting into trouble and ran away early with an excuse.

Among the remaining few, some agreed with Mother Hu, while others tried to persuade her earnestly.

Jasmine originally thought that she and Mother Hu were both given by the Madam, and she didn't want Mother Hu to have a bad ending for most of her life. She wanted to take the opportunity of everyone coming out together to find a chance to give some advice.

I never thought that as soon as Mother Hu left the yard, she would say such outrageous words.

I was suddenly terrified!

Seeing that there were people fanning the flames inside, Mother Hu became even more outspoken and dared to say anything.

I was scared, so I slowed down and slipped away when no one was paying attention.

I was just thinking about whether I should remind Fourth Grandma that Mother Hu was waiting to find fault with her, so as to show my loyalty.

When she looked up, she saw Fourth Master Fu Zhiyi coming back. She paused and saluted from a distance.

Fu Zhiyi saw that Jasmine looked familiar and knew that this was the girl from his yard. He asked, "Is your grandmother in the house now?"

After getting a positive answer, he walked straight inside.

Because Lu Zhenzhen asked the servants to leave, leaving only Dingxiang in the inner room to accompany her to count the dowry, no one outside informed her.

Fu Zhiyi walked straight into the inner room. Before he could lift the curtain, he heard Lu Zhenzhen sighing from inside.

His feet couldn't help but stop, and the hand that reached out to lift the curtain was retracted.

Back room.

Ding Xiang was indignant: "Master and Madam are too bullying! After all, you married into the Marquis' Mansion for the sake of the master, and they didn't even give you a decent dowry! Isn't this just destroying the bridge after crossing it? Your family has no regard for your dignity like this. How can you live in the Marquis' Mansion in the future? How can you still rely on your family?"

The master and servant had just finished counting Lu Zhenzhen's dowry.

Looking at the room full of dowry, it turns out that they are all things that look good on the outside.

Every load of dowry was empty talk. The boxes for clothes and fabrics had two pieces of fine satin on top to show off, while the rest were filled with goods that had been stored in the warehouse for years. The colors were old and the patterns were no longer new.

The gold jewelry in the jewelry box is all gilded. Even if there is pure gold, it is as thin as paper.

There is only one manor and one shop.

Zhuangzi is a small village with only 30 acres of mountain land and almost no production.

The shop is located in a back street and is not worth much.

The silver at the bottom of the box was only two hundred taels.

It's really shabby.

The value of this room full of dowry is not as much as the mutton-fat jade bracelet given by my mother-in-law, Lan.

Even though Dingxiang was just a maid, she knew that living in a marquis's mansion was not easy.

Look at these maids and servants in the Marquis's mansion, none of them is easy to deal with.

Even if his daughter killed a chicken to scare the monkeys and temporarily intimidated the people in Tingtaoju, there is still a long way to go. A master who is short of money will have a hard time no matter where he goes.

They, the master and the servant, understand this deeply.

Lu Zhenzhen was not that angry. She had never had any expectations of the Lu family. Considering the Lu family's usual harsh treatment of her, such a dowry must have been put together by Mrs. Lu, Wang, with great difficulty.

He immediately comforted Dingxiang, "What are you afraid of? As the saying goes, a man you marry provides you with food and clothing! Your daughter has married into the Marquis's mansion and is now the Fourth Master's wife, so it's natural for him to support her! With the Fourth Master's ability, supporting us, master and servant, wouldn't it be a piece of cake? What's there to worry about?"

"Besides, what good is the Lu family? They've even sold their daughter to avoid disaster, how can we still count on them? Just don't let anything go wrong again!"

"It's fine now. It's just a favor after all! If anything happens to the Lu family in the future, I can rest assured and not have to worry about it!"

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I remember that I also came with a dowry from a family. What was their name?"

Dingxiang said hurriedly, "Miss, have you forgotten? It's the family of Xiuqiu, the little maid who used to sweep the floor in your yard. They are the most honest and kind family."

Lu Zhenzhen searched through the original owner's memory and had some impression of it.

There are six people in this family. They are all honest people. They don’t scheme for personal gain or curry favor with others. They just focus on their work and don’t have many connections in the Lu family.

Lu Zhenzhen was nominally married into a wealthy family, but everyone knew that she was being pawned off to the Marquis's Mansion.

The Lu family felt that Lu Zhenzhen would not have a good life after marrying into the Marquis' Mansion. People with a little bit of common sense would naturally not step into this trap. In the end, they pushed Xiuqiu, the family of the Lu family with the least connections, to be her companions and help her manage the small farm and shop that had no money.

In fact, they are all abandoned children of the Lu family. If Lu Zhenzhen can make a way out in the Marquis' Mansion, the Lu family will definitely help her out if there are any benefits.

If Lu Zhenzhen couldn't endure in the Marquis' Mansion, they could also say that a girl who is married is like spilled water, and pretend to be deaf and dumb and not care whether she lives or dies.

Such coldness was not only seen clearly by Lu Zhenzhen, but even a little girl like Dingxiang could see it.

As for Xiuqiu's family, they are his own companions after all, and are definitely more reliable than the servants in the Marquis' Mansion.

Lu Zhenzhen now had no one else to rely on except Dingxiang. After thinking for a while, she waved to Dingxiang to come closer and gave her a few instructions.

Dingxiang nodded repeatedly and left.

She came out in a hurry and didn't look carefully, so she just went out.

The moment Dingxiang was about to come out, Fu Zhiyi quickly turned behind the screen and was not discovered.

He didn't rush in. He frowned and thought about what Lu Zhenzhen and Dingxiang had just said. Then he looked through the door curtain blown by the wind and saw Lu Zhenzhen holding the gift in his arms, unable to let it go. After thinking for a long time, he quietly left the inner room.

Seeing several maids about to come up to serve, he waved his hand and warned them, "Don't let your grandmother know that I've been back."

The maids and old women looked at each other and didn't dare to ask any more questions, and responded in a low voice.

Only then did Fu Zhiyi leave the yard.

The three maids, Haitang, Jasmine and Ruixiang, watched Fu Zhiyi go out from afar, looked at each other, some holding tea, some holding snacks, and rushed into the inner room.
