Chapter 164: Old things are brought up again, is this a success?
Lu Zhenzhen's face turned bitter when she heard this.
The days when I served as the patrolling Tai Sui a few days ago are still vivid in my mind.
I just handed over the job not long ago, and I haven’t even had a few days of happiness yet, but I have to go back to work?
Why can’t I escape going to work in my past and present lives, even through time travel?
Is it so difficult to be a salty fish grandma?
"Can you not take care of the household? There are so many things to do, and I offend people, and there is no benefit!" Lu Zhenzhen complained.
Fu Zhiyi smiled and said, "Then tell your sister-in-law that you want a few easy tasks that don't require much effort and won't offend anyone. As long as you ask, your sister-in-law will definitely agree."
Lu Zhenzhen snorted with an embarrassed look on her face.
The next morning, when everyone paid their respects, the focus was on Mrs. Hu.
The old lady gestured for Mrs. Hu to come sit next to her, patted her hand, and looked relieved.
First I asked about the baby's appearance, then about the baby's appetite and whether he wanted to eat anything.
Mrs. Hu answered all of them, and the old lady also instructed her maid: "If your grandmother wants to eat anything that your courtyard or the main kitchen can't find, just come to me and ask for it. As long as your grandmother is safe and the baby in her belly is well, she can eat dragon liver and phoenix marrow if she wants. Don't be wronged, understand?"
The lark and the thrush agreed promptly.
After hearing what the old lady said, Jin was also very happy: "The old lady still loves her grandson's wife."
The old lady kept stroking Hu's hand and said, "If I don't love her, who will I love? I just hope this baby is a boy, that would be perfect!"
Jin, Qin and Lan were also there chatting and laughing.
Sun had her own son, and she knew that Hu and the old lady had been longing for this boy for many years.
Of course I don't care.
Only Zhao looked unhappy.
When she was pregnant with Lun Ge'er, Old Lady Bai didn't think so highly of her.
They are all the grandsons of the eldest master. Her son Lun Ge'er is at least the eldest grandson of the first wife, but he is not as good as the piece of flesh and blood in Hu's belly, whose gender is unknown.
The more Zhao looked at it, the more uncomfortable she felt.
Fortunately, Liu Sisi also came to pay her respects today. Seeing that the situation was not good, she pinched Zhao and signaled her to restrain herself.
Zhao blinked back her tears, but her eyes were still a little red.
He forced a smile, having no intention of flattery, let alone ridicule, and just sat there silently.
After the greetings were finally over, Zhao stood up and hurriedly took her leave.
Liu Sisi stayed behind, smiled apologetically at everyone, and explained: "My cousin remembered something important that she hasn't told Lun Ge'er yet, so she's in a hurry to go back—"
Then he followed behind and chased after Zhao.
Everyone knew that Zhao was in a bad mood, but they all pretended to be ignorant and just smiled.
Lu Zhenzhen followed Lan back to the yard.
After sending the people away, Lan looked at Lu Zhenzhen with a smile: "These days, I'm afraid this mansion has been revolving around the eldest lady. And now that the eldest lady is pregnant, I'm afraid this mansion is not stable anymore. Do you want to come with me to my parents' home and stay for a few days?"
Lu Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded after realizing what was happening: "Yes, yes, yes! I'll go back and pack my luggage now!"
Lan smiled and stopped her: "There's no need to be so anxious, just go back and tell the boss to clean it up later."
"Do you still remember what I told you last time?"
Lu Zhenzhen was stunned. What was going on? Lan had told her so many things, and she couldn't quite recall which one it was.
Lan gave her a reproachful look and said, "You are such a forgetful child! Have you forgotten what I said last time? I will register you under my family name and make you the Lan family's legitimate adopted daughter. From now on, the Lan family will be your family. I don't think anyone in this mansion or outside the family will dare to look down on you!"
"During the Dragon Boat Festival, I sent a letter to my parents' home, mentioning this matter."
Having said that, he kept the audience in suspense and paused.
Lu Zhenzhen thought about this matter. When Lan said this, she was naturally touched and happy.
It's not to get close to the Lan family, but because of Lan. If she can become the adopted daughter of the Lan family, even if she breaks up with Fu Zhiyi in the future, she can still have this relationship with her mother-in-law Lan, and they can still be together.
Later, when there was no further news, I guessed that the Lan family might not agree.
After all, the Lan family is a well-known family. How could they just take someone in as their adopted daughter?
However, she didn't dare to ask too much, for fear that Lan would be caught in the middle and feel embarrassed.
So just forget about it.
I didn't expect that Lan would bring up the old matter again at this moment. Is this a success?
Looking at Lan eagerly.
Mrs. Lan couldn't bear to tease Lu Zhenzhen anymore and said hurriedly, "The Lan family is no longer ruled by your grandfather and grandmother, but by your eldest uncle. Unfortunately, he was ordered to leave the capital on official business before the Dragon Boat Festival. Since adopting a legitimate adopted daughter has to be recorded in the family tree, we have to wait for him to come back and make the final decision."
"Your eldest uncle returned a few days ago and sent me a letter yesterday, asking me to take you back to the Lan family to stay for a few days and to discuss the matter of adopting you as his adopted daughter."
"Don't worry, your uncle is a steady man. Since he wants to adopt you as his adopted daughter and put you in the family tree, he will definitely want to meet you in person! But don't worry, your uncle told the truth, so this matter is 70% certain!"
"Your uncle loves me the most. I'll just play a supporting role and the matter will be settled!"
Lan was happily calculating over there.
Lu Zhenzhen couldn't help but sympathize with her mother-in-law for three seconds.
Lan didn't understand at all. Her elder brother, Uncle Lan, didn't believe in her vision at all, so he wanted to interview her in person before making the final decision!
However, seeing the bright smile on Lan's face, Lu Zhenzhen didn't intend to expose it.
He patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, Madam. I will try my best not to embarrass you when the time comes!"
There is nothing we can do about the lack of confidence in the guarantee.
When I hear Mrs. Lan talk about the eldest uncle of the Lan family, I think he is a very important person.
Now he is the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, which is equivalent to the Deputy Minister of Finance in later generations, the second-in-command of the Ministry of Finance, dear!
I heard that the Minister of Revenue is old and has only been in title over the years. The one who actually leads the Ministry of Revenue is this uncle Lan.
As long as the Minister of Revenue retires and returns home, the eldest uncle of the Lan family will be the new Minister of Revenue!
Lu Zhenzhen really didn't have the confidence to meet such a big shot.
Lan, in turn, comforted Lu Zhenzhen: "Don't be afraid! Your uncle is the kindest person. Besides, even if he doesn't accept you as his adopted daughter, you are still his nephew's wife, and he won't make things difficult for you!"
"Just be the same as you are at home in front of your uncle! Your uncle likes bright and cheerful children with sincere hearts. He will definitely like someone like you when he sees him—"
Lu Zhenzhen was skeptical, but at least she had some confidence.
He went back to order people to pack up, and just then, Fu Zhiyi came back from the front yard. Seeing the yard full of boxes and crates with no place to step, he was stunned: "What are they doing? Are they moving?"
Haitang quickly replied, "Fourth Master, it was Fourth Mistress who told us to pack our bags. She said Madam wanted to take Fourth Mistress back to her parents' home to stay for a few days."
Fu Zhiyi was stunned. How come he didn't know that his mother and Zhenzhen were going back to live with their grandparents?
Lu Zhenzhen slapped her head: It's over! She and the Lan mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had completely forgotten about Fu Zhiyi. What should they do?
