If one didn't know clearly that the Lu family was just a small, nouveau riche family, and if one didn't know Lu Zhiran's background, one would really think that she was the daughter of some scholarly family!

Madam Fu herself comes from a scholarly family and she likes girls like this the most.

It can be said that Lu Zhiran's appearance really touched her heart.

"Zhang, as a mother, how can you leave your daughter-in-law aside and go play with your daughter?"

"And Baiying, Qingli, as the older sisters, why don't you bring Lu Zhiran to play with you?"

Zhang was most afraid of the old lady. When she saw the old lady blaming her, she immediately smiled and said something.

"Mother, you misunderstood us. We talked to her, but Lu Zhiran didn't respond. She was also very depressed. We wanted to talk to her, but we didn't know what to say."

"Zhang, you are already an adult, and you think you can fool an old woman like me with this excuse. Aren't you ashamed?"

The old lady didn't give Zhang any face and bluntly exposed her lies.

Zhang and her two daughters all looked a little stiff.

Lu Zhiran was also shocked.

I didn't expect the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion to speak so bluntly. In his previous life, Lu Zhiran had never seen the old lady again except for the time he met her in the temple. He only heard that she had a very serious illness.

He stayed at home and rarely went out every day.

Lu Zhiran occasionally heard, also from Lu Nianyao, how mean and vicious her grandmother was.

The old lady always shows her emotions on her face.

After teaching Zhang and her two granddaughters a lesson, the old lady turned around and said to Lu Zhiran apologetically.

"My two granddaughters are spoiled and don't know much about the ways of the world. You have to take care of them in the future!"

With just one sentence, Lu Zhiran was placed in the position of the master.

Fu Baiying and Fu Qingli instantly became guests.

The two of them almost had fire in their eyes as they glared at Lu Zhiran angrily.

"Grandma, what you said is too serious."

Lu Zhiran said modestly that the old lady had played this trick on her right from the start, and she didn't know whether the old lady really liked her or was deliberately trying to trick her.

Anyway, judging from the current situation, her hatred value is full.

Hearing Lu Zhiran's humble words, the old lady shook Lu Zhiran's hand tightly.

"Lu Zhiran, this is not an exaggeration. From now on, you will be the mistress of this family."

Lu Zhiran: Just stop attracting hatred to me!

"I like you, girl. Here... this is a gift from your grandmother."

As she spoke, the old lady took off the agate bracelet on her hand, which was so red that it almost dripped blood, and forced it onto Lu Zhiran's wrist.

Lu Zhiran's hands were already very beautiful, with fingers as slender as young catkins and skin as white as cream. After putting the red agate jade bracelet on Lu Zhiran's hand, Lu Zhiran's hands became even more beautiful, making it almost impossible to take your eyes off them.

"Perfect, Lu Zhiran, this agate bracelet looks so beautiful on your hand!"

The old lady took Lu Zhiran's hand, looked him up and down, with amazement on her face.

Zhang looked at the old lady's ancestral bracelet that she had coveted for so long and it was now worn by Lu Zhiran. At this moment, the jealousy in her heart reached its peak.

"Mother, you didn't even give me this bracelet, why did you give it to your granddaughter-in-law?"

The old lady looked down on Zhang's petty appearance.

"You have plenty of bracelets, what do you need?"

"But this is different. This is inherited from your ancestors."

The Fu family, three generations ago were all from peasant families, but the old lady was different. She originally had a prominent family background, but unfortunately she followed the wrong team, which led to the whole family being confiscated and exiled.

On the way to exile, she fell seriously ill and the officers and soldiers thought she could not be saved, so they sold her at a low price.

Therefore, it benefited Mr. Fu at that time. The Fu family was able to have such a large fortune later on because Mrs. Fu asked Mr. Fu to join the army, and that was how they got started by accident.

But when Zhang entered the house, Mr. Fu hadn't gotten up yet? So Zhang was really of humble origins, and the bracelet in Mrs. Fu's hand was kept by her when she was a young lady, so it's no exaggeration to say that it's priceless.

Zhang pestered the old lady for a long time but failed to get her to agree to marry her.

Now that Lu Zhiran had just walked in, the old lady was already happily sending him out. How could Zhang tolerate such a disparity?

"Zhang, can you be a little more like a mother? How old are you and Lu Zhiran? Why are you arguing with a junior? Aren't you ashamed?"

Zhang's face turned red at what the old lady said and she was so angry that she stopped talking.

He scolded Zhang again.

The old lady continued to speak to Lu Zhiran in a good mood.

"Starting tomorrow, you will come to Grandmother's place early every day and learn from her how to manage the entire mansion. From now on, you will be in charge of the family affairs."

Lu Zhiran, who had been maintaining his composure, was also shocked at this moment.

"grandmother!"

"Mother, no." Zhang, who had originally been angry and planned to keep silent, quickly spoke out to stop her.

"Mother, after all, Miss Lu Zhiran has just entered our mansion, and she is also a concubine's daughter. She has never learned about this matter. How can we let her take care of it?"

Zhang was almost driven to tears by the old lady's outrageous actions one after another.

The old lady defended Lu Zhiran right from the start and scolded the three of them, mother and daughter, for Lu Zhiran.

Then, he gave Lu Zhiran the ancestral agate bracelet that Zhang had coveted for more than 20 years.

Now she wants Lu Zhiran to take charge of the household affairs. What does the old lady think of herself? She has been married into the mansion for so many years, but she has not received any treatment. Why should Lu Zhiran get everything as soon as he marries in?

"Grandma, Lu Zhiran...he just came in, isn't this too hasty?"

Fu Baiying and Fu Qingli, who had just kept their heads down and remained silent, also spoke up.

They all felt that their mother was too wronged. Their mother had served their grandmother for so long just for the right to be the housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion. However, as soon as Lu Zhiran married into the Marquis' Mansion, everything was given to her. How could this be possible?

Lu Zhiran was stunned for a moment and then quickly spoke.

"Grandma, isn't this too hasty? I just got married, and like my mother said, I didn't learn how to manage household affairs at home."

Unlike Guan Qi's family, theirs is full of holes that need to be filled with their own money.

Managing this marquisate is a good job.

After all, there weren't many people in the mansion, and there was only one man left in the family, Fu Yuzhang, and the rest were all dead. As for the women, the biggest expenses were nothing more than going out to parties and buying some clothes and jewelry.

The monthly salary from the palace is enough to cover the expenses of the entire marquisate.

Not to mention the businesses that the men of the Fu family had acquired when they were around.

Such a good thing suddenly came to me.

Lu Zhiran himself felt a little unreal.

I always feel like there's a pit in it!
