Husband, please lend me your virtues

When Lu Ruyun heard He Zijin asking her name, her face turned pale and she looked at Yan E with a helping look.

"Madam, her name is Ru——"

The servant who served as the MC for Yan E and Lu Ruyun stepped forward and wanted to help Lu Ruyun, but Yan E's sharp eyes forced him to stop.

Yan E interrupted the servant and continued, "Her name is Ru Bi, and she just entered the mansion not long ago."

As soon as Yan E finished speaking, the servants and maids serving in the main courtyard lowered their heads even more. If someone looked closely at their faces, they would find that most of them were trying hard to hold back their laughter.

Ru Bi was the name of the dog that the Marquis gave to Ru Yun shortly after she came to the main courtyard. It was also the name that Ru Yun gave herself.

They didn't know why the Marquis gave Ruyun a dog's name in a hurry.

Could it be that Ruyun's identity was different? The Marquis needed to cover it up, but they were puzzled. If Ruyun's identity was different, why didn't the Marquis change Ruyun's name? It would be better than giving Ruyun a dog's name now.

Seeing that the servant who stood up for Lu Ruyun had a strange expression, He Zijin remembered the lucky puppy in the original plot who was named by the heroine as the witness of their love. The puppy seemed to be called Rubi.

Phew, this male protagonist is so mean. He gave the female protagonist this dog's name for a moment. Is he sure that he truly loves the female protagonist?

"Rubi, she actually has the same name as that person."

"I was mistaken. Although Miss Ruby looks similar to the Miss Lu I remembered, their temperaments are very different."

The intriguing look in He Zijin's eyes made Lu Ruyun lower her head in embarrassment. Her family had fallen into poverty and she almost entered the Music Bureau. She was no longer the innocent and pure Lu Ruyun.

The Third Lady entered the mansion only a year earlier than He Zijin, and had also seen the famous Miss Lu in the capital. She immediately sneered:

"Ms. Lu has now joined the Music Bureau and is no longer as clean as before. In my opinion, she is not as clean as the maid named Ru Bi in my eldest brother's courtyard."

"Third brother and sister-in-law, be careful with your words!"

Lu Ruyun, who was next to Yan E, lowered her head dejectedly when she heard the Third Madam's blunt words. Yan E couldn't help but come out and scold the Third Madam.

"Now that things have been made clear, it's getting late. He, the second and third sister-in-law should go back to their respective courtyards to rest."

The Third Lady was not happy with Yan'e's scolding her in public and humiliating her, so she asked, "Brother, on your wedding night, you won't be accompanying your eldest sister-in-law. Will you be accompanying someone else's wife in the main courtyard?"

"If this gets out, how can we go out and meet people? The Marquis has several unmarried brothers and sisters, so don't hinder their marriage."

Yan E was squeezed by them until the veins on his forehead were exposed. He snorted coldly, "I have important matters to deal with tonight. I have to let He go to bed alone."

He finally saw clearly that this He had deliberately sought out the people from the second and third rooms who were at odds with him, and used them to threaten him to return to Qiwu Courtyard and spend his bridal chamber with her.

He's plan was good, but he did not do what He wished. He did not stay in the main courtyard, leaving a handle for the second and third rooms, and did not return to Qiwu Courtyard, leaving the newly married He alone in the empty room and being laughed at by others.

Yan E strode towards the door and ordered the servant to prepare his horse, leaving Lu Ruyun and He Zijin alone. The second and third wives faced each other awkwardly.

"Since the Marquis has generously given the main courtyard to Chengping and Miss Rubi, Guiyue, take some maids and carry the seriously injured Chengping to the Marquis' main room."

He Zijin glanced at the uneasy Lv Ruyun and continued to instruct Guiyue, "Please invite Miss Rubi to the main room. Since the Marquis is willing to give the main courtyard to the two of you to hold the wedding banquet, I believe he doesn't mind giving the main room to Miss Rubi and Chengping to do things."

"Yes."

After hearing this, Gui Yue ignored other people's thoughts and only followed the orders of her master. She took the maids that He Zijin brought from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and asked the two maids to hold Lu Ruyun's shoulders with one hand each, and "invite" Lu Ruyun into the main room.

Then he took people room by room to look for Chengping, the servant who was seriously injured and unable to worship heaven and earth as mentioned by Yan E.

"Madam, this...letting the main room live in with two lowly servants is probably against the rules."

"When your Lord held their wedding banquet in the main courtyard, he did not think it was against the rules. He and Chengping are like brothers, so I think he would not mind this."

"My eldest sister-in-law is the legitimate wife of the Marquis of Changle. My eldest brother is not at home, so of course, the affairs of the mansion are decided by my eldest sister-in-law. How can I allow a servant like you to question her!"

The second wife asked her maid to take the boy away so that the other two maids could bring Lu Ruyun into the main room.

"Sister-in-law, I think the servants in this courtyard are all disobedient. After we leave, they might let her out. Why don't we let my nanny stay in the main courtyard for one night?"

"Thank you for troubling my second brother and sister-in-law."

He Zijin didn't expect that the Second Madam was more thoughtful than her and actually wanted to send someone to guard the door. The two hit it off immediately, and the Second Madam asked the nanny she brought from her parents' home and several servants to guard the door of the main house.

The servant who acted as the master of ceremonies saw that the situation was not good and the Marquis was not in the mansion, so he hid away. He could only signal Lu Ruyun, who asked him for help, to follow him obediently to the main room and not to struggle in vain and hurt herself.

Guiyue found Chengping, who was pretending to be sick in a side room. Four maids lifted Chengping's hands and feet and held them high up, as if they were lifting a fat pig, which looked quite funny.

Guiyue and her maid put Chengping on the bed in the main room. She said to Lu Ruyun, who was sitting restlessly in the main room, "Our Marquis is generous and has specially allowed you and your wife to spend your wedding night in the main room. You must take good care of your husband and don't let the Marquis's efforts go to waste."

Although Guiyue was not smart, she knew that the Ru Bi in front of her was not Chengping's wife for good fortune, but the Marquis's concubine. Otherwise, no matter how unruly a family was, they would not give up the main courtyard of the host's house to the servants for a wedding banquet.

However, the Marquis lied with his eyes open and even covered up the lie. It was normal for her young lady to be unable to swallow this and want to vent her anger.

The He family doesn't want such an irresponsible son-in-law. With how much the master and mistress love the young lady, if they knew that the young lady had suffered such a great injustice, they would definitely take her back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and would not let her suffer in the Yan family.

If He Zijin knew what was in her heart, he would definitely sigh with her and say it was a pity. It was a pity that the original body did not want her parents to worry, so she never told them the truth and even strictly ordered the maids and old women around her not to tell the truth.

Otherwise, with the love that the Duke Zhenguo and his wife had for me, I wouldn't have been tortured in the Changle Marquis' Mansion for more than ten years. They didn't find out until a month or so that they angrily took me back to the manor after I was sent to the farm.
