Forcing me to raise a concubine? The mistress of the Marquisate has gone mad

"Grandma, why don't you let me hold the Spring Festival Banquet?"

Madam Lu was just about to take a rest. She was stunned by the questioning before she could even feel happy to see her grandson. Then, her face darkened, "Did Ruoyan come to you to complain?"

"No, I only found out about this after I asked her." Lu Jing thought for a moment and told the truth, "She listened to my grandmother and didn't plan to do it for me."

Madam Lu snorted coldly, "She is sensible."

sensible?

So sensible again!

Since he was little, Lu Jing has been driven by these two words. When he was little, his grandmother would say, "Everything will be fine when he grows up." But when he grew up, these two words were still waiting for him.

Even his wife and favorite concubine had to follow these two rules!

He's had enough!

"It's just a banquet, what's the problem?" Lu Jing rarely lost his temper in front of Old Madam Lu, and scared Madam Xue so much that she hurried forward, "My Lord, how can you yell in front of the old lady?"

"Get out of here! Are you the master or am I the master? Is it your turn to teach me a lesson here?" The anger that had been pent up in my heart for too long, the imbalance for so many years, all burst out at this moment: "Do you have me, the Marquis, in your eyes?!"

Nanny Xue knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed, "My Lord, please calm down!"

"Enough!" Madam Lu shouted angrily and slowly stood up. "Lu Jing, have you forgotten all the rules?!"

The grandson in front of her was already several heads taller than her. The shadow of a young boy gradually blurred, replaced by the fortitude and coldness of an adult. The old marquis passed away early, and Lu Jing's parents also lost their lives on the battlefield. In order to let her grandson inherit the marquis's mansion, she didn't know how much thought she had put in.

She protected and raised the child, but now he was looking at her with such defensive eyes.

The old lady's heart was deeply broken.

But Lu Jing was completely unaware and continued to stab her in the heart, "Grandma, I'm married now and I'm the owner of this mansion. Ruoyan was ignorant before and made you work hard. Now she's sensible, so let her be the head of the family from now on."

"What did you say?" Old Madam Lu covered her chest with her hands, unable to believe that such heartless words came out of her grandson's mouth!

"Head of the family? Yes, you are the Marquis now, not the kid who used to follow me around and call me grandma..."

Madam Lu looked at him disappointedly, "Jing'er, you have indeed grown up."

I already understand how to fight for power with my grandmother.

Lu Jing was hurt by this look and shrank back subconsciously. But then he thought, he had done nothing wrong? Why should he back off?

He didn't want to have to look at his grandmother's eyes for everything he did in the mansion. His grandmother loved him, but she valued the reputation of the mansion more. Since he had become the Marquis of Changning, what was wrong with letting his wife be the housekeeper?

After this, who will care whether he holds a spring banquet or an autumn banquet?

"Grandma, if you have no objection, I will let Ruoyan continue to prepare for the Spring Banquet?" Lu Jing asked tentatively.

At this moment, an anxious female voice suddenly sounded outside, "No!"

Lu Jing frowned and turned around, but was surprised to see Fang Rou walking in quickly with a bowl of soup. She saluted first, then looked away guiltily after meeting his gaze, and whispered, "Please forgive me, old lady. I thought the weather has been dry recently, so I made a bowl of warm and sweet soup to moisten your lungs."

Madam Lu raised her eyebrows, and said meaningfully, "You are thoughtful."

Fang Rou lowered her eyes, looking like a beautiful girl from a small family. She looked towards Lu Jing again, "My Lord, I heard that the expenses of the mansion have been tight recently. In my opinion, it is better not to hold this Spring Festival Banquet."

Lu Jing laughed angrily, "Oh? I didn't know that the mansion couldn't even afford to hold a banquet!"

Even Madam Lu raised her eyebrows, "Where did you hear this rumor from? Don't talk nonsense!"

Nanny Xue, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled a little, but soon returned to normal. Fortunately, no one present noticed it.

Fang Rou's face flashed with panic, but she still said, "It was my fault for being reckless. I was just too concerned."

She raised her head like she did before, her watery eyes full of dependence and affection. However, this time, Lu Jing avoided her.

"It is not your turn to interfere in the affairs of the mansion. Please be aware of your status."

Lu Jing had complicated feelings towards Fang Rou. Many times, when he got upset in the Marquis' Mansion, he could always find comfort and warmth in Fang Rou. In his mind, no matter what happened, Fang Rou would stand by him unconditionally.

Fang Rou is his confidant who understands him even though he is misunderstood by the world.

But today, this flower of eloquence did not bloom.

Moreover, he stood on the opposite side.

"Forget it. I'm old and can't control you anymore. Just do what you want." Finally, Mrs. Lu gave in.

Lu Jing got the result he wanted and left without looking back. Even Fang Rou stumbled after him but didn't even get a glance from him.

Fang Rou panicked!

She didn't understand why this happened. The old lady obviously didn't want to hold the Spring Banquet, so why didn't she get any praise from the old lady even after she came out to stop it?

And Lord Hou, does he really want to see those two bitches perform? !

The news of this incident reached Shen Ruoyan's ears the next morning. In addition, there was also a token representing the housekeeper.

Chunxi was overjoyed. Finally, she had waited for this day!

"I heard that Aunt Fang sent people to invite the Marquis several times last night, but he was ignored. The Marquis slept in his study alone last night." Qiu Ye held back his laughter. This news had spread all over the backyard.

After Aunt Fang entered the mansion, she relied on the Marquis's favor and looked down on everyone. She beat and scolded the servants, so everyone secretly gloated and laughed at her.

"Don't be too self-righteous in everything, otherwise, you won't even know how you died." Shen Ruoyan took the token with a complicated look.

In her previous life, she was too self-righteous and thought that everything was under her control, so in the end, she was plotted against so miserably!

In this life, she figured out many things.

For example, she had fought for the power to manage the family in her previous life, and had fought fiercely with the Queen Mother at that time. Although she won, she also lost.

That incident exposed her ambition and made the emperor wary of her. Later, because of this incident, she took many detours and suffered a lot of unnecessary suffering.

This time, she did not take the lead again. Instead, she showed weakness in front of Lu Jing, making him feel that his status as a marquis was challenged.

No man will tolerate his power being restricted!

No matter who the other party is!

Look, she didn't even have to show up, the token was delivered to her, and it took her no effort at all.

Shen Ruoyan took the token and raised the corner of her mouth slightly. Since Lu Jing was so ambitious, she naturally couldn't let him down.

"Chunxi, Qiuye, come on, let's go and see how the aunts are preparing."

After all, it is they who have to start the show!
