The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

"Look at what you're saying. We're all daughters-in-law. You don't go back to your parents' home on weekdays. Is it because you don't want to?"

Now everyone was silent, except those who had a better family background and had just gotten married and didn't want to go back.

When you arrive in an unfamiliar environment, no matter how considerate your husband's family is, you will never feel as comfortable as at home.

Mrs. Gou, who was sitting next to him, looked disapproving and put the teacup down heavily.

"As the saying goes, a married woman should obey her husband. Once married, she belongs to her husband's family. When she returns to her parents' home, she is just a guest. How can a guest visit so many times? Women should obey the three obediences and four virtues. How could the daughter of the Ding family be so ignorant of the rules!"

The other ladies looked at each other. To be honest, sometimes they just got together to chat and at most they would complain about someone they didn't like.

What the wife of Censor Gou said was really a bit too much.

The daughter of the Ding family married into the Duan family and became the daughter-in-law of the Duan family. No matter what, it is not your turn to speak as you have no connection with them at all.

Needless to say, he said it in front of the other person's sister-in-law.

It’s only Mrs. Ding who didn’t come today. If she had, I would have gone up and torn her mouth apart.

After Mrs. Gou said this, she saw that no one said anything. She did not feel that she was wrong, but instead thought that what she said was extremely reasonable.

How could such a thing happen in the world? She wasn't afraid of tarnishing her family's reputation if she told anyone about it. The Ding family even had a concubine's daughter. It's true that no one loves a child who isn't a biological child. Who would dare to have that girl in the future? It's so embarrassing.

Thinking of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Gou raised the corner of her mouth in disdain and snorted.

If you don't know the rules, even if you go home, what's the use? I have plenty of ways to deal with you.

Mrs. Lu rolled her eyes at the person next to her and flicked the handkerchief in her hand twice.

"If you don't like it, then you'd better not return to your parents' home. By the way, what kind of noble family is Madam Gou from? I'd like to know how your family raised such a well-behaved daughter-in-law."

A lady close to the Lu family covered her mouth and laughed as she spoke. "I'm afraid Madam Bo hasn't heard that Madam Gou's family is a wealthy family in Luohe, and they only moved to Beijing a few years ago."

Mrs. Lu nodded as if she understood. "So that's how it is. What a good upbringing! She's even surpassed all of us noble ladies in the capital. It's truly admirable."

The two of them acted in unison, attacking Madam Gou.

When the others heard this, many of them felt a little uncomfortable. How dare a small family like the Eighth Route Army lecture them in the capital?

It's just that she relies on her status as the censor, so they try not to provoke her, so as not to cause trouble to the master of the family. Could it be that they are really afraid of her?

"Madam, there's no need to say that. I'm just teaching you how to manage your household. A daughter-in-law should stay home to serve her parents-in-law and educate her children. A daughter of a respectable family wouldn't run around outside every day."

Mrs. Lu didn't want to pay any attention to this kind of person. This kind of person was what her mother-in-law called a scourge among women.

"Then go back and take care of your parents-in-law and raise your children. Why are you still staying here?"

"Puch"

"Hahaha"

Many people couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

Mrs. Lu was extremely annoyed. What was the difference between this and the top-notch products her mother-in-law had told her about? This was enough.

"I guess Madam Gou's family is not well-off, so she doesn't understand the intricacies of our big families. Serving the parents-in-law and raising the children are our responsibilities, but apart from that, there are all the big and small household affairs that we don't need to take care of. For example, the simple things of the farm and the farm, the monthly and quarterly accounts, must be checked on weekdays. On a smaller scale, welcoming guests, socializing and attending banquets, these miscellaneous matters are very complicated. From the first to the fifteenth day of the month, we are busy all day long. Madam Gou is really lucky, not having to worry about these things. Every day, she only needs to keep an eye on the things going on in her sons and daughters-in-law's rooms and see which daughter-in-law is doing what."

Lu's face was full of sarcasm, which made Mrs. Gou so angry that she stood up and pointed her finger at her nose.

"you!!"

"Hey, Madam Gou, please don't lose your composure. You're only a fifth-rank official, how dare you disrespect your superiors? Aren't you a person of the utmost respect for etiquette? Sit down quickly. We were just joking, but you took it so seriously."

Mrs. Gou was pulled back to sit, unable to vent her anger.

Lu came down the bend and said in surprise, "Oh, Madam Gou, look at me, I can't speak. I'm just kidding you."

Well, our mansion will be impeached again tomorrow.

It’s really good to be a censor. You dare not offend him openly.

Mrs. Gou's face was tense with anger, but when she saw those people whispering and laughing, she tightened the handkerchief in her hand, tried to relax her expression, and forced a smile.

"There are managers in the house for general affairs, so why would the master need to personally oversee them? Are they just eating for free?"

Mrs. Lu shook her head and did not argue with her any further.

Seeing Lu talking to others on her own, Mrs. Gou was extremely resentful. What was the big deal?

"It's no wonder people say that. My sister-in-law just got married, so it's unreasonable for her to order her around right after she enters the house. There are so many things going on at home, and my mother-in-law recently took our daughter out, so there's no one to accompany her. My fourth brother is busy with the country all day long, and sometimes he doesn't come home for several days. As a new daughter-in-law, it's inevitable that she'll be bored."

At this point, Lu sighed, looking a little worried.

"Plus, my aunt has been ill recently, and my brother has to go study with the Sixth Prince. There's no one to take charge of all matters, so just like our family asked the Fourth Prince's wife to go back and take care of it. After all, this is a big deal that can't be delayed."

Mrs. Bai was really sick. Perhaps it was because she had been in a depressed mood before, and then Jian Ge'er became her study companion. Her mood was up and down, and the weather turned cold, so she caught a cold and fell asleep.

It's all fine on weekdays, but soon Brother Jian is going to enter the palace, and he needs someone to take care of everything.

Bai Shi couldn't get up, and Ding Haimo had no relatives in the capital, so he quickly called Ding Meishu back.

Ding Meishu was trained by the Bai family and had helped the Bai family before, so the Bai family was relieved to hand this matter over to her.

"Oh, we know that. It's that Jian from the Ding family. He's so lucky to be the prince's study companion."

Studying with the prince represents the grace of the royal family and means that your future is limitless.

"Speaking of which, isn't your brother close to the Sixth Prince? How come..."

The lady didn't say anything else, but everyone else looked at Lu, they were all curious.

The two families were indeed related by marriage, and their daily relationship was fine, but when it came to the crunch, there was only one meat bun, and it all depended on who could grab it. The Ding family's son had essentially taken the place of the Duan family's son, so wouldn't Mrs. Lu be angry?

But they were destined to be disappointed. There was no reluctance on Lu's face, and she smiled as gently as always.

"It's all because my monkey is disobedient, wielding swords and guns all day long, and is clueless when it comes to learning. He's not that lucky, and being able to accompany the prince on a daily basis is a great favor."
