Chapter 294: Being courteous for nothing is either a traitor or a thief!
As he spoke, he stood up.
As soon as she moved, she felt the hand on her waist suddenly tighten its grip around her.
Then he buried his head in the crook of her neck, and Fu Zhiyi's vague and hoarse voice rang in her ears: "Zhenzhen, I'm so happy! I've never been happier--"
Just as Lu Zhenzhen was about to speak, two drops of warm, wet liquid fell on her neck.
Her body stiffened, Lu Zhenzhen sighed silently, relaxed her body, and leaned back actively, almost shrinking into Fu Zhiyi's arms.
She placed her hands on Fu Zhiyi's, patting him gently and comforting him silently.
Waiting quietly for Fu Zhiyi to calm down.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Fu Zhiyi had calmed down. Apart from some redness at the corners of his eyes, there was no sign of any loss of composure.
He loosened his grip on Lu Zhenzhen's waist and cleared his throat uncomfortably.
Lu Zhenzhen turned around and looked at him.
Fu Zhiyi was still a little embarrassed to look at Lu Zhenzhen, so he lowered his eyelids and avoided her gaze.
Lu Zhenzhen burst out laughing, put her arms around Fu Zhiyi's neck, leaned forward, and gently kissed the corner of his red eyes.
Then he said, "Be good and wait for me at home. I will vent your anger for you--"
After taking two steps, Fu Zhiyi hooked her belt.
Turning back to look at Fu Zhiyi, Fu Zhiyi shook his head: "No need to go!"
"Why not go? Are you going to suffer this in vain?" Lu Zhenzhen was puzzled.
Fu Zhiyi grabbed Lu Zhenzhen's hand and explained, "You've been given the title of village chief, and you're in the limelight. I don't know how many people are jealously watching us, waiting for us to make trouble so they can catch us."
"If this were seen and spread, I'm afraid I'd be criticized. That's fine, but His Majesty just appointed you as the village chief, and now a bad reputation has spread. It would be a slap in His Majesty's face!"
"So the old man punished me because I didn't give up the benefits to the Marquis' Mansion. He was angry, but also because he wanted to use the confinement to make us keep a low profile and not become the target of public criticism."
"Besides, I also want to take this opportunity to review my studies and prepare for next year's Spring Examination. Only when your husband enters the officialdom and has more power and authority can he protect you!"
"So, Zhenzhen, you don't have to go! I know your feelings, and that's enough!"
Lu Zhenzhen was not the kind of person who would lose her mind when she got carried away, so she listened carefully to what Fu Zhiyi said.
I know what he said is true.
But I still feel a little uncomfortable.
After thinking about it, an idea suddenly came to his mind. He leaned close to Fu Zhiyi's ear and whispered something in a low voice.
Fu Zhiyi looked at Lu Zhenzhen in astonishment, then laughed for a while and kissed Lu Zhenzhen's cheek indulgently: "Okay! Zhenzhen wants to vent her anger for me, your husband, so of course I'll do as you say!"
Lu Zhenzhen raised her head proudly: "Just wait and see the show!"
After saying that, he couldn't wait to push Fu Zhiyi away: "You rest first, I'll go find my wife now!"
Without waiting for Fu Zhiyi to react, he ran away.
Fu Zhiyi looked at Lu Zhenzhen's back helplessly and dotingly and shook his head. Never mind. Although Zhenzhen's method was a bit mean and a bit of a waste of her father's money, she was doing it for herself, so it was naturally okay!
As for that father, it was his blessing to be put to good use by Lu Zhenzhen!
The third master, Fu Heyin, has been uneasy since he received the imperial edict, and he was a little absent-minded when receiving guests.
The eldest master really couldn't stand it anymore. There were already too many people around, so it was already chaotic. He also had to make sure the third brother didn't behave rudely. He also had to finish a few words for him from time to time. It was more tiring than doing it all by himself.
He simply asked the third master Fu Heyin to go back and stop causing trouble here.
The third master, Fu Heyin, refused immediately. He was Lu Zhenzhen's biological father-in-law. No matter who the guests were from, they would specially greet him and praise him today.
When has he ever had such a glorious moment?
If I leave now, won’t all those people go to flatter the boss?
He won't do it! This wife is his! This reputation is also his!
He also said by the way that this was the honor of their third branch, and he would stand here today to accept congratulations. Even if his legs were broken, he would stand to the end!
The second master Fu Heyong knew that the third brother had done something stupid again, but when he saw the eldest brother's frustrated look, he couldn't help but turn his head away and laugh.
While the two brothers were pulling each other, the third master suddenly sneezed several times and was immediately stunned.
Damn it! This familiar feeling! An ominous sign!
Who else is gossiping about him behind his back?
He didn't want to stay here any longer, so he casually bowed to the master and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first! Thank you, big brother and second brother!"
After saying that, he ran away without any regrets.
The eldest master was so angry that he was speechless. No, why does the third brother act so recklessly?
I wanted to pull the second master aside to complain, but he didn't want to get involved. Seeing another customer coming, he quickly put on a smile and greeted him.
The third master was unsure and returned to the third house's yard trembling with fear.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw the maids waiting at the door with their eyes lit up, and they rushed to the main house, shouting: "The third master is back, the third master is back——"
The remaining maids also smiled at the Third Master attentively: "Third Master, you are finally back. Madam and Fourth Madam have been waiting for you for a long time."
The third master was happy at first, but then he immediately realized that something was wrong.
As soon as he stepped into the yard, he stepped back and said awkwardly, "Well, Master, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. I'll come back later—"
Several maids took small steps, smiling and surrounding the Third Master, blocking his escape route. "Third Master, you're already at the door. If you have anything to say, why not go in and talk to Madam?"
The third master swallowed his saliva and felt something ominous.
The maid in Lan's yard has never given him a good face these days. Now she is smiling so attentively, there must be something fishy going on.
Just as I was worrying about what excuse to use to slip away, Lan's voice came from the inner room: "Since you're here, why don't you come in?"
The third master hesitated for a moment, looked around, and realized that the courtyard gate was closed and he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
He closed his eyes and walked into the main room with a fearless attitude.
In the main room, both Lan and Lu Zhenzhen looked unhappy.
Seeing the third master come in, Lu Zhenzhen stood up and knelt down to salute.
The Third Master cautiously took two steps back and stopped moving: "You, what do you want to do?"
No matter how stupid he is, he knows that if someone shows kindness to you without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief!
Everyone in the house knows how much this daughter-in-law dislikes him. She is definitely trying to harm him by doing this!
Lu Zhenzhen raised her eyebrows. The third master actually became smarter?
Can the plan at that moment succeed?
He looked at Lan uncertainly.
Lan nodded affirmatively and gave Lu Zhenzhen a look that told her to leave it to her.
Lu Zhenzhen understood and smiled at the Third Master: "Since the Master is back, your daughter-in-law will take her leave first."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
