She was too lazy to clean up after dressing up as a villain heroine

"What beloved thing? It's just a cat!"

"Even if I beat you to death on the spot, your wife is incredible. When she heard me say I was allergic to cats, she said I was allergic to my cousin! Listen to what she said. Who would be allergic to their cousin? She is clearly disobedient!"

Lin Wan'er didn't say anything specific when she spoke this just now, she just wanted to make Qiao Zhenzhen look down on others.

That's good now. After Lin said that, it feels like they are the bullies.

Lin Wan'er covered her face with a handkerchief, feeling deeply disgusted with Lin's stupidity.

No wonder I couldn't hold my husband's heart, and even most of the housekeeping power was taken away from me.

To be honest, if she were Old Madam Han, she would not feel comfortable handing over such a huge Duke's Mansion to her.

Han Zheng had long experienced his wife's eccentricities, so he was not surprised at all when she said that she was allergic to her cousin.

"I don't know when you became intolerable to cats, but since you said so, I'll just take it as the truth. As for Fuhui saying he's allergic to my cousin..."

He glanced at Lin Wan'er and said, "Why don't we not let the cat appear in front of you, and my cousin not appear in front of Fuhui, then everyone will be happy."

"Everyone is happy?!"

Lin was so angry that she couldn't help but slap Han Zheng in the face.

After the fight, she just stood there in a daze.

Han Zheng's head tilted slightly after being hit.

Although Lin was somewhat unreasonable in the past, she had never hit him, perhaps because he had always obeyed her and tolerated her.

Han Zheng cupped his hands and said, "It is my fault for making my mother angry. I will go back to Suiyuan first. As for Fuhui, I will talk to her properly."

After saying this, Han Zheng didn't stay any longer and turned around and left.

Lin stretched out her hand to him, but she didn't have the courage to ask him to come back, so she slumped down on the couch.

Nanny Hu came forward and rubbed her back to help her calm down.

Lin Wan'er stepped aside.

Lin grabbed Madam Hu's hand and said, "I'm just mad at him for siding with that little bitch. I don't really want to hit him..."

Madam Hu comforted her, "The prince will definitely understand. Don't worry. He has been a good boy since he was young and never cares about you."

Lin asked again with uneasiness in her heart: "He won't blame me in his heart, right?"

"Of course not, don't worry." said Madam Hu.

Lin felt as if he had taken a reassurance pill and relaxed.

Lin Wan'er stood aside in silence, watching Madam Hu coax Lin.

She thought that her aunt was indeed stupid, and it was her own fault for being stupid. It sounded like Aunt Hu's words were just comforting, but she actually believed them.

I always feel that my future will be worrying if I follow an aunt like this.

There are many males in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, and Jun'er from the second house is of the same age as her. However, after inquiring about him and getting along with him for some time, she still prefers her cousin, the Crown Prince.

Cao from the second house is a smart one, but the second master is a fool.

The second master is a typical person who only cares about romance and is pretentious, but has made no achievements in reading. He also looks down on those who take the imperial examination to become officials.

I feel that they are all worldly people, and I am the only one sober while everyone else is drunk.

He even looked down on managing household affairs and regarded money as dirt.

However, he spends a lot of time talking about "dirt" all day long. Any antique calligraphy and painting he likes must be exchanged for dirt, but he thinks talking about money is vulgar.

Lin Wan'er, who came from a merchant family, was extremely disdainful of this.

It means that the second master was born into a good family. If he was born into an ordinary family, he would have been noble or not. There are so many people out there who are still struggling hard to have food to eat every day.

Therefore, the miscellaneous affairs outside the Duke's Mansion are basically handled by the third master who was born out of wedlock.

But that is all temporary. When Madam Han passes away and the four branches of the family split up, everything will be handed back into the hands of the Duke.

Madam Han did not hand over the housekeeping power completely to Lin, because Lin was too stupid, and perhaps also because of consideration for her second son.

Everyone knows that managing such a big family requires a lot of money.

If Cao didn't take more money from the second house while the old lady was still around, his family would have trouble making ends meet in the future when the family is divided.

Although the second branch has three legitimate sons, it seems that none of them is particularly good at studying.

Han Jun is eighteen years old this year and has not passed the examination to become a scholar yet. His two younger brothers are sixteen and both follow the path of martial arts. Unfortunately, none of them has Han Zheng's talent. As they do not have the responsibility to inherit the family business, they are unwilling to work hard and just think about playing all day long.

Lin Wan'er has not been living off the fat of the land these days, and she knows almost everything about the entire Duke's Mansion, from top to bottom.

It is obvious to the naked eye that after the family splits up in the future, the second and third rooms will basically still have to rely on the main family for living.

Among the four houses, only the fourth master was able to read and passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi. Now he has been sent to serve as an official in a remote area, but his position is not high.

Therefore, Old Madam Han attached great importance to this arranged marriage with the Mo family.

To sum up, Lin Wan'er felt that instead of trying hard with Han Jun and being rejected by Cao in the end and having to use extraordinary means to get to the top, it would be better to turn her attention back to her cousin, the Crown Prince.

It's the same as using means, it doesn't matter who you are.

But after today's battle, it was proven that the princess's sister-in-law is not the stupid beauty as rumored.

All her previous plans had to be scrapped and replanned.

……

Han Zheng returned to Sui Garden and just as he entered the main courtyard, he was greeted by a waiting maid.

Han Zheng asked: "Where is Grandma?"

"The county master is in the study, waiting for the prince to come back and have dinner together."

Han Zheng nodded, "I understand."

The maid retreated.

Han Zheng went to the bathroom to wash up first, and then went to the study.

In the candlelight of the room, Qiao Zhenzhen was reading a book seriously, with a brush at hand, writing something on a blank piece of paper from time to time.

He walked lightly around her, leaned down, and kissed her on the side of her cheek.

Qiao Zhenzhen was concentrating so much that she was frightened by his kiss and the tip of her pen drew a long line on the paper.

I turned around and saw Han Zheng’s smiling face.

"You scared me to death. How come you walked without making any sound? I'm a martial artist now. You don't have to be afraid of me attacking you from behind." She joked.

Han Zheng smiled and said, "You are too serious. I have deliberately made my footsteps louder."

"Really? Okay..." Qiao Zhenzhen's eyes stopped on his face, her relaxed expression disappeared, she frowned, and stroked Han Zheng's face, "Why, your face..."

She asked uncertainly: "Did he get rubbed against it? Or was he beaten by someone?"

There were some light red marks on his cheeks, but Han Zheng's skin was wheat-colored, so it was hard to see unless you looked closely.

Han Zheng's smile faded for a moment, his eyes drooped, and then he smiled again, looking at her and whispered, "It's okay."

Qiao Zhenzhen didn't let him off easily, "You're hiding something from me? You don't want to say that you fell off your horse, do you?"

Han Zheng took her hand and said, "I'll talk to you later. Let's set the table first. We've missed dinner time. You must be hungry."

Qiao Zhenzhen nodded and said to Dongxiang who was guarding the door, "Set the table."

Dongxiang ran away, and she said, "You must tell me the truth later."
