"Was there a wedding in the yard?" She pouted.
Wedding photos and wedding dresses in the yard.
Rubbing her head, Zac didn't know whether to cry or to laugh. "Honey, you have such a rich imagination. You really should write a novel."
Hearing that, Essie turned her head to take a look at him. A hint of slyness flashed through her black eyes. "Zac, you are the fourth generation leader of the family. The secret will definitely be passed on to you, right?"
A smile played at the corners of Zac's mouth, and his eyes became deep and sharp. "What do you want to say?"
"I mean, you are the master and I am the hostess of the family. You will in charge of the Rong Group and I will take the responsibility of the family, and the mansion will be under my jurisdiction. I should have the right to know the secrets of the yard, right?" Essie smiled awkwardly.
Zac gently rubbed her nose and said, "don't worry, honey. If the secret is really told to me, I won't hide it from you."
Hearing that, Essie was overjoyed. She stretched out her arms to hold him in a flattering way. A couple should trust each other unconditionally.
In the afternoon, Mary held a family meeting and announced the punishment for two daughters-in-law and niece.
Leila wrote down the family rules two hundred times as a punishment, and Essie and Ivy wrote down one hundred times as a punishment. At the same time, the three of them had to reflect themselves in the hall for two weeks in the daytime. If they did it again, they would be punished according to the family law.
Essie had never seen the family rules of the family. It was said that it was a golden whip, which would cut her skin and flesh. Only those who broke the first three rules would be punished. There seemed to be only one person in the two generations, from Abel to Albert, who had been executed such a severe punishment. But Essie didn't know who the person was, and the family seemed to keep it a secret.
There was no entertainment in the hall, and their mobile phones had to be taken away. They had nothing to do except to copy family rules. Zac felt sorry for his wife and wanted to help her plagiarize. But Essie thought that since she had made a mistake, she should be punished. Moreover, as the future hostess of the family, she should take the lead and not to violate the family rules.
Holding her chin, Ivy sighed by the window. It was so boring!
Leila was still in shock, but only Essie was the calmest one. Sitting at the desk, she was quietly writing the family rules.
When Jim and Zac explored the yard, it only entangled with Jim and didn't hurt Zac. Did she have the preference for people to be hurt? Zac was the future head of the family, and Essie was the future hostess. So she didn't dare to hurt them. She only dared to bully the "outsiders" like them.
"She must be a member of the family when she was alive. Otherwise, it is impossible that every time there is an accident, the accident happened to outsiders. There is nothing wrong with the family members." Leila pouted and said in a low voice, which was only within the range of three people. She was afraid that the words would float into the ghost yard and be heard by the fierce ghost in red, and then came to ask for her life.
"Sister-in-law, you are the new daughter-in-law of our family, and also one of Rong family." Said Ivy seriously.
Leila shrugged. She was a fake. She could hide it from others, but she couldn't hide it from ghosts. She had just read a spiritual theory that ghosts could see through people's hearts. In her nightmare of being killed, the ghost in red called her real name, not Laura. It could be seen that she had read her heart.
"No matter what's inside, we can't be more curious. Curiosity Kills cats. It's not wrong." Essie warned.
Ivy nodded.
The servant brought lunch: rice, cabbage and bamboo shoots.
They had no choice but to accept it.
However, it seemed that the servant hadn't finished yet. She opened another basket, which was chicken soup, braised fish and pork.
Ivy's eyes lit up. Was this an extra reward from her aunt?
"Cabbages and bamboo shoots are for the two ladies and miss Ivy. The chicken soup, braised fish and pork are specially ordered for the baby in the belly by Mr. Zac." The servant said in a low voice.
Zac knew that his wife liked to eat meat, and would eat meat every meal. Now it was a meal for two people. How could she not supplement good nutrition?
Lowering her head, Ivy said, "it's good to be pregnant. There is an exemption card."
A hint of coldness flashed through Leila's eyes. 'The exemption card is just a bastard and has nothing to do with the family. If it was given birth to and done the paternity test, it will definitely be a great shame for the family.'
"It doesn't matter. I'm much better now. I can't finish it all by myself. Let's eat together." Essie said as she put two pieces of pork into the two girls' bowls.
At the sight of this, Ivy smiled happily. "Sister-in-law, fortunately, you are pregnant. I can be lucky with my nephew."
"I like vegetables and I don't like meat. Enjoy yourselves." Leila returned the meat to her bowl. There were only resentment and jealousy in her heart. The better Zac treated Essie, the angrier she was. How could she accept her kindness?
