Shen Ruoyan suppressed the matter of his mute son being poisoned.

No one knew about this except the few people who were present that day.

Doctor Xu said that the poison could be cured, but to completely eliminate it, a special medicine was needed. This medicine was hard to find and was far away overseas. All he could do now was to save the prince's life first.

When he said this, Lu Yan did not leave, and Shen Ruoyan did not deliberately avoid him.

Living in the Marquis' Mansion, he was destined to be different from others since birth. Now he was being plotted against again. If he still had the mind of a child who was ignorant of everything, then she could protect him once but not a second time.

If you want to live, you have to rely on yourself!

"Go check who were the people who served the prince when he got into trouble. How many of them stayed in the mansion, and how many did not."

Shen Ruoyan's face was solemn. So many years had passed, and he didn't know whether the other party had wiped out all the traces.

However, if this matter is not investigated thoroughly, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, which will be very disadvantageous to her!

This matter was given to Chunxi to do. She was calm and careful. In addition, she was kind, so she could talk to people from all over the mansion. By letting her do it, she could try not to attract other people's attention.

Treating Lu Yan’s illness is the top priority.

But he couldn't let the other party know that he had noticed this.

So Shen Ruoyan stayed in the house for a few days and spread the news that the root of her illness from falling into the water had relapsed. She needed to see Doctor Xu for long-term care.

After Lu Jing learned the news, he came in the rain.

It was the first time that he visited Shen Ruoyan when she was sick.

"Ma'am, how are you?"

When Lu Jing entered the room, Shen Ruoyan was eating the snacks that Qiu Ye brought from outside. Recently, in order to pretend to be sick, she had been drinking porridge every day, and the bitter taste in her mouth was almost gone!

After much trouble, Qiu Ye brought in some food from outside. Just as she started to eat, Lu Jing, the blind man, showed up!

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Marquis. I'm much better now." Shen Ruoyan leaned weakly on the bed, with a trace of sweat on her forehead. The sick child was so delicate that it made people feel a little distressed.

Lu Jing sighed softly, "You are just too sensible. You were sweating in pain, but you still lied to me that you were fine."

sweat?

Shen Ruoyan subconsciously touched her forehead and found it was indeed a little wet. Perhaps it was because she was in a hurry to hide the snacks, and then she was busy taking off her clothes and lying back on the bed pretending to be sick, which caused her to be so tired...

She put down her hand and lowered her head slightly. "I heard that the Marquis has been very busy recently. I just don't want him to worry about me."

Some people pretend to be sick just to make Lu Jing worry. They wish he would stay by their side all day long and do nothing.

Some people, when they are sick, not only do they not send anyone to disturb them, but they are even considerate enough to pretend that they are not sick, for fear that it will delay their work.

Let’s see each other clearly!

Lu Jing thought of Fang Rou who was still under house arrest, and felt a little strange. He thought Fang Rou came to the Marquis' Mansion alone and could only rely on him, so it was understandable that she had gone astray before.

But compared with Shen Ruoyan, he is still too petty.

He didn't know if it was telepathy or something, but when he was about to ask Shen Ruoyan to have a good rest, he heard the servant's voice outside:

"My Lord, Aunt Fang is kneeling outside the mistress's courtyard, saying she wants to plead guilty!"

It was raining outside, and the water splashed on the ground with a crackling sound, and the water droplets were as high as the knees. Fang Rou was kneeling in the rain in a white shirt, like a snow lotus that stood firm in the rainstorm, which made people feel pity.

When Shen Ruoyan and Lu Jing came out, they saw such a sad and beautiful scene.

Lu Jing, who was just disdaining Fang Rou's pettiness, seemed to swallow back all his voice when he saw that beautiful face.

She is so pitiful!

Shen Ruoyan saw all of this, especially the change in Lu Jing's expression, and suddenly felt that it was no fluke that Fang Rou held such an important place in his heart.

This woman, on the other hand, knew Lu Jing very well.

"What are you doing, Aunt Fang? It's raining so hard and you're not in good health. How can you bear it?" As soon as Shen Ruoyan finished speaking, the maids ran over with umbrellas and blocked Fang Rou's head.

However, Fang Rou shook her head firmly. She raised her face. Even in such a heavy rain, her hair was not messed up at all. Instead, her clean facial features were exposed, making her look pure.

"I know I was wrong. I made a big mistake in order to gain the favor of the Marquis. I hope that Madam will be magnanimous and forgive me!"

[I didn't punish you, why should I forgive you? ]

Shen Ruoyan covered her chest and started coughing violently, which immediately drew Lu Jing's attention back.

[Isn't it just pretending to be pitiful? Who wouldn't be that...?]

"What do you mean by that, Aunt Fang?" Shen Ruoyan was surprised. She coughed and said aggrievedly, "Aunt, are you blaming me now?"

Her face gradually turned red, and even her hands were shaking slightly, as if she had suffered a great blow: "The Marquis punished you with house arrest for your own good. Auntie, you don't reflect on yourself, but now you want me to forgive you? Do you want me to bypass the Marquis and release you from house arrest?"

She is the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, but the one who is in charge of this Marquis' Mansion is Lu Jing!

"Fang Rou, you are really becoming more and more outrageous!"

Lu Jing spoke angrily. He really couldn't understand why the person who had moved him and made him want to be with her for the rest of his life had become like this!

"If you have anything to say, just tell me. Although I have good intentions, I won't tolerate your being so presumptuous!"

Fang Rou opened her eyes in disbelief, tears mixed with rain water slowly flowing down: "My Lord, how dare I be so presumptuous? From the day I entered the Marquis' Mansion, I knew that there would be no place in this world where I could be free as I wish."

She covered her mouth sadly, but still choked up and said, "But I am willing, because I am willing to be with you, Lord, no matter what sacrifice I have to make."

"But Lord Marquis, you asked me to come find you, but have you ever given me a chance to find you?!"

These days, Lu Jing's heart was completely occupied by the two sisters Zhuhong and Liulu. Even if he thought of Fang Rou, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, so he simply pretended that he had really forgotten about her, so that she could reflect on herself.

Now that I was being stared at by her accusing eyes, I felt a little uneasy.

He really didn't give it a chance.

"My Lord, I have made a mistake. You can punish me however you want, but you cannot stop me from seeing you! You know how much I love you!"

Fang Rou almost roared, and those words full of sincerity made Lu Jing's heart tremble!

"Rou'er..."

Seeing that Lu Jing was about to be moved, Shen Ruoyan spoke at the right time: "Mrs. Fang's true love for the Marquis is really touching. And Zhuhong and Liulu often mention their admiration for the Marquis in front of me."

Shen Ruoyan looked at Lu Jing tenderly, without any jealousy in her eyes, only full of admiration:

"My Lord, Aunt Fang is actually not wrong. It's just that my Lord is too outstanding, which is why all the sisters are fighting for him."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone came running in, "My Lord, Aunt Liu fell down while practicing dancing, please come over and take a look!"

Shen Ruoyan sighed quietly after hearing this. It was as if she was saying——

【See, I was right, wasn't I?】
