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

The wound on the child's finger would heal if he wasn't taken to stop the bleeding.

I didn't seem heartbroken then, so who am I putting on this show for now?

Shen Ruoyan was disdainful in her heart, but she was very cooperative on the surface, "Why don't you take the little master down quickly and take good care of him. If anything happens, you won't be able to bear the consequences!"

Before his identity was proven, this child was still a bastard that everyone hated.

But now he has transformed himself into a noble young master in the marquis's mansion!

ridiculous!

How sad!

Zhuhong and her son were taken away, but the matter was not over yet.

Liu Lu pointed at Fang Rou angrily and said angrily: "My Lord, there must be something wrong with the basin of water just now. It must have been done by Aunt Fang! She has long been jealous of her sister for being pregnant with your child and has always held a grudge against her. This must have been done by her!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Fang Rou saw Liu Lu biting her and quickly distanced herself from the matter. "I just asked Xiao Tao to go over and see. She didn't do anything! Besides, didn't Chun Xi go over there too? Why don't you say anything about her?"

"Chunxi is mine. Aunt Fang, is this what I should do?"

Shen Ruoyan stood there quietly, but her whole body exuded the aura of "no strangers allowed in". Her tone was calm, but it had an unquestionable authority.

Even Lu Jing subconsciously avoided his gaze.

"As the mistress of this mansion, I treat all concubines equally. It is your duty to serve the Marquis well. It is your job to expand the Marquis's mansion. I am the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, well-read, how could I not tolerate the child of a concubine?"

Shen Ruoyan stared at Fang Rou with a sharp gaze, "Who is the person with ulterior motives? We will make our own judgment after investigation."

"Madam, don't be angry. I believe you would not do this." Lu Jing said to comfort her. He finally realized that what happened today really provoked Shen Ruoyan too much.

She was the mistress of this mansion, but she was yelled at like that by a concubine. If this got out, it would not only be an embarrassment to her, but also to herself!

He finally achieved some military merits this time and gained face in front of the emperor. It would take some time for Qin Shaobei to pass the Spring Examination and become an official in the court.

It's not worth offending the Shen family for Fang Rou.

What's more, he didn't want to be known as a man who favors his concubine over his wife - if this really got out, he would forget about getting promoted!

"Just the Marquis's belief alone may not convince everyone." Shen Ruoyan no longer wanted to give Lu Jing face, so she snorted and said, "Since Aunt Fang is suspicious, let's get someone to investigate! Since there is something wrong with the water, someone must have tampered with it."

Shen Ruoyan was confident, "As long as it's done, there will be traces. I don't believe we can't find it!"

"Come here, arrest all those who have come into contact with that basin of water. Don't let anyone go until the matter is thoroughly investigated!"

This time, Shen Ruoyan was serious. Not only did he capture Xiao Tao, he also didn't let Chun Xi go.

All those who have come into contact with that basin of water will be kept under strict supervision!

At the same time, she also sent someone to invite Doctor Xu back and asked him to take a closer look to find out what was wrong with the basin of water.

Everyone was detained here and not allowed to leave, including Lu Jing.

But he was very cooperative and did whatever Shen Ruoyan asked him to do, not daring to offend her easily again.

After regaining his senses, he wanted to slap himself twice - why didn't he calm down a little at that time? It wouldn't be too late to let someone investigate it first before getting angry!

Now, Shen Ruoyan has been offended by Fang Rou, and he will suffer as well.

Later, I have to find a way to comfort Zhuhong. She seems gentle, but she is actually stubborn. Now that she has suffered such a great injustice, I am afraid she will not be able to get over it.

And that child...I can only give him more compensation in the future.

"Madam, there is nothing wrong with this water, but there is something wrong with this basin." Doctor Xu scraped some powder off the basin, twisted it with his hand, and sniffed it. He said, "This thing is called Luoying powder. It is colorless and tasteless, but if placed in water, it can dissolve in water immediately and is not easy to detect."

Doctor Xu wrapped the powder in a handkerchief and explained, "This substance has a very good effect in stopping bleeding. If it is placed in water, it can prevent blood from mixing."

"What?!" Lu Jing suddenly realized, "No wonder my blood and the child's blood can't mix, so this is the reason!"

At this point, how could he not understand?

This matter was deliberately done by someone in order to suppress Zhuhong and her son.

Once the child's identity was successfully confused, according to his personality, he would definitely sell Zhu Hong, and he would just ignore the child and find someone to deal with him directly.

The only one who can benefit from it is Fang Rou!

Shen Ruoyan has a son, at least Lu Yan is still the prince, so she doesn't need to start preparing for a rainy day so early. Moreover, she was in charge of the overall situation throughout the whole process, and she didn't seem to have any other thoughts. On the contrary, she was wronged because of Fang Rou.

And Fang Rou... has too many motives!

Others didn't know, but Lu Jing knew it clearly. If Fang Rou had done it, then there was only one reason -

For Lu Ankang!

Lu Yan was a mute, so even though he was the prince, Fang Rou never really took him seriously.

But Zhuhong's child was different, he was born a boy, and a healthy child. Although it is impossible to predict what will happen in the future, who would be willing to watch their own threat grow up slowly?

Lu Jing already had a direction in his mind.

But he didn't say anything, because he knew that if he said it, Fang Rou would have no way out.

After all, she was doing it for the children.

For Kang Ge.

"My Lord, since there is something wrong with this basin, then someone must have tampered with it in advance. As long as we find out who prepared this basin, the truth will be revealed."

As soon as Shen Ruoyan finished speaking, Xiao Tao knelt on the ground in despair.

The basin...was prepared by her.

"Xiao Tao, I'm afraid they will tamper with the blood test in advance and make this bastard become real. So, you prepare the basin and water in advance. If they want someone to go, I will recommend you and let you go with them. This way, they can prevent them from faking it."

These were what Aunt Fang told her personally before she left.

"Aunt, Xiaotao didn't do it, Xiaotao didn't do it, Aunt, save me! Aunt, save me!" Xiaotao looked at Fang Rou earnestly. It was she who asked her to prepare the basin of water. Fang Rou knew best whether she had done it or not.

How could a little maid like her dare to do something that her master had not even ordered her to do?

However, in Xiao Tao's expectation, Fang Rou just turned her head silently, covered her mouth and choked with sobs: "I didn't expect that this maid would be so bold to do such a treasonous thing!"

She suddenly looked at Lu Jing, her eyes wide open, and said firmly: "My Lord, please handle this impartially!"
