Mrs. Chen said kindly: "Fifth daughter-in-law, you have been married for a long time. You must be familiar with everyone in the Marquis's house. So you can't be lazy at this flower viewing party."
Fu Zhao said with a smile: "What mother said is that I should also contribute to the Hou Mansion. And I have learned a lot of experience from my second sister-in-law before, and I just want to use it."
Qian's eyebrows twitched and he laughed twice.
The last time she wanted to use the opportunity of teaching Fu Zhao to make things difficult for Fu Zhao, she ended up shooting herself in the foot and received a slap from Chen Yuan.
Now that Fu Zhao mentioned it again, she felt her cheeks burning and hurting again.
Fu Zhao didn't want to embarrass Qian, so he stopped.
Mrs. Chen thought for a while and said, "On that day, I'll leave the tea and snacks to you."
Fu Zhao obediently agreed.
Mrs. Chen talked for a while and then asked her daughters-in-law to go out.
Because of what Fu Zhao said, when going out, Mrs. Qian deliberately walked beside Mr. Ma and stayed far away from Fu Zhao.
Fu Zhao didn't care and didn't want to catch up with those two people.
Mrs. Qian suggested: "Sister-in-law, would you like us to go and see the fourth younger brother and sister together? I heard that her confinement period was not done well and she is very haggard."
Qian didn't like He, but she had no prejudice against Zhao, who was always cautious.
The concern she showed for Zhao might even give her a good reputation.
Moreover, Ma has always been kind-hearted and will definitely not refuse.
But to Qian's surprise, Ma rejected her this time.
"I still want to make two new clothes for Brother Ze, so I can't go there." Ma said calmly.
Mrs. Qian groaned, "Can't we just let the maids do this? Why bother hurting my own eyes?"
Ma avoided Qian's reaching out to hold her hand, "I don't worry because I made it myself, wait until next time. Aren't the fifth younger siblings here? Why don't you let the fifth younger siblings accompany you."
Qian said unhappily and left quickly.
Ma smiled helplessly and slowed down her pace. When Fu Zhao came to her side, they started walking side by side.
Ma said kindly: "The tea and snacks thing looks simple, but in fact it is very complicated. If you don't know anything, you can ask me."
When Chen Jing was still alive, the Ma family was responsible for all matters in the Hou family.
Things like the banquet were all prepared by Ma alone, and Qian never had a chance to intervene.
But now things have changed, and most of the power in her hands has been transferred to Qian's hands.
In a few years, everything will be handed over to Fu Zhao.
Sooner or later, this Hou Mansion will belong to Chen Feng and Fu Zhao.
Thinking of the smart and sensible Chen Yize, Ma's heart ached.
Seeing that Mrs. Ma's face was not good-looking, Fu Zhao asked worriedly: "Sister-in-law, are you feeling unwell?"
Ma shook her head and looked pale, "It's nothing, I just thought that your eldest brother's death anniversary is coming soon."
Fu Zhao pursed his lips and took the initiative to hold Ma's hand, "Sister-in-law, I understand you. On the anniversary of my brother's death... I also felt uncomfortable all over... People have advised you to be more relaxed, but this kind of
How can you think so easily?"
Fu Zhao's eyes felt wet.
Ma's family was amiable. In Fu Zhao's eyes, Ma's family was very similar to Cong's. They were both weak-hearted people.
Ma Shi held Fu Zhao's hand and smiled at Fu Zhao.
Both of them have lost the most important person and have experienced the pain deeply.
At this time, only the other party can truly understand your own feelings.
Ma took Fu Zhao back to his place and prepared to have a good chat with Fu Zhao.
But just as Fu Zhao sat down, he saw a maid running in and said hurriedly: "Madam, Master Ze got into a fight in the academy, and the academy has sent someone to invite him!"
Ma sat up suddenly, her hands gripping the armrests of the chair so tightly that her joints turned white, "What did you say?!"
Chen Yize has always been a sensible child.
Because his father died early, he was more mature than his peers, so how could he do something like beating someone?
And with Chen Yize's small body, maybe he was the one who got beaten.
Mr. Ma couldn't sit still and looked at Fu Zhao with an ugly expression.
Fu Zhao stood up immediately and said hurriedly: "Sister-in-law, please go and have a look. I don't know if Brother Ze is injured, so it's better to ask a doctor to go with him to rest assured."
This was what Ma was thinking, and Ma nodded.
Fu Zhao and Mr. Ma walked out of the courtyard together and watched Mr. Ma leave in a hurry.
at night.
Ma personally applied the medicine to Chen Yize, with a look of distress on his face.
Chen Yize gritted his teeth and didn't even cry out in pain. He was extremely stubborn.
Ma felt distressed and helpless. After taking the medicine, she asked softly: "Why are we fighting? Where did all those saints' books you learned go?"
Chen Yize scratched his neck stubbornly and refused to speak.
Mrs. Ma has no choice but to deal with Chen Yize, who is her only hope and support in this life.
Ma wiped her eyes, her voice choked with sobs: "It's your father's death anniversary soon, and you still do such a thing. If your father knew about it, how sad he would be!"
Mentioning his father, Chen Yize finally couldn't help but his eyes turned red and hesitantly said: "They... they called me a child without a father!"
Ma felt sad and hugged Chen Yize into his arms.
Chen Yize leaned on Ma's shoulder, with a look of fear for the future on his face, "Mom, when we separate our families in the future, won't we be able to live here? Where will we go?"
Chen Yize is young, but he already knows some things.
Sooner or later in the future, the Hou family will be separated. Those who are orphans and widowed will eventually leave and start their own businesses.
Chen Yize looked at his little hands, could he support himself and his mother?
Ma's heart was almost broken.
If Chen Jing was still alive, why would Chen Yize be so worried about the future?
Others thought that Chen Jing died in battle, but only Ma knew why Chen Jing died.
Although Chen Jing did a lot of wrong things in the past, he was still her husband and Chen Yize's support!
Ma's eyes slowly filled with murderous intent, she would have to avenge Chen Jing sooner or later!
She patted Chen Yize's back gently and comforted her in the gentlest voice: "Don't worry, I promise you that we will never move away."
This prince's mansion will be yours sooner or later.

After intensive preparations, the day of the flower viewing feast finally arrived.
Fu Zhao wears a lilac-colored Ruyi-patterned gown, a lighter-colored gauze skirt, and a golden hairpin with a phoenix holding beads in her bun. She is particularly wealthy.
Now she has understood that she is the prince's wife of the Hou Mansion, so she should put on the airs of the prince's wife to avoid being looked down upon by others.
She got up early and went to inspect the pantry and kitchen.
