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

The examinations at the Imperial College were divided into two aspects: civil and military.

Needless to say, the literary arts include poetry, songs and prose, and martial arts, etc.

The Dasheng period emphasized civil service over military service. One had to take all the civil service exams, but one could choose only one military exam to take.

Lu Yan followed Shen Ruoyan's instructions and visited Lu Jing every day without fail.

He couldn't speak, so he just served the medicine beside. Sometimes when Lu Jing's wound flared up and he was in a bad mood and yelled at him, he didn't get angry.

Just do what you should do, and others can't find any fault with it.

The news spread throughout the Marquis's Mansion, and everyone said that the Prince was kind and filial, and that it was a blessing for the Marquis to have such a good son.

People outside also heard about this. Filial piety is the most important virtue, and they immediately praised the son of Marquis Changning for his kindness and being a pillar of talent.

"You are praised like this for carrying a bowl of water or medicine? Are those people blind?" Fang Rou found it ridiculous. Lu Yan was praised like a flower just for doing some things that servants do. It seemed as if all the butterflies and honey bees outside wanted to come and take a sip!

Even Lu Jing, when she went to see him yesterday, praised Lu Yan highly.

"It would be great if Yan'er wasn't a mute..."

He regretted it!

He must regret it!

I regret not being nice to Lu Yan in the beginning, I regret not paying enough attention to him, which made Lu Yan become mute!

He regretted even more that he had not brought Lu Yan to his side and taught him properly, so that now, even if he wanted to make up for it, he was powerless - because Lu Yan had become mute!

No matter how well he does, it can't change the fact that he is mute.

This is the only thing that can comfort Fang Rou at this moment.

However, when she heard that Lu Jing had someone bring Lu Sinian to him, she was completely devastated!

"My Lord, do you still remember our Brother Kang? He is all alone in the farm, waiting for his parents to pick him up. But my Lord, you now have Lu Yan on your left and Lu Sinian on your right. Do you still remember that you have a son who is suffering outside?!"

Fang Rou stood in front of Lu Jing, tears streaming down her face.

She had never felt so powerless before, but all she could do was to make this man soften his heart.

Only in this way can she bring her son back.

Fang Rou put aside her previous pride and knelt in front of Lu Jing in her most disdainful way, "My Lord, I have been with you for so many years. No matter how much grievance and suffering I have endured, I have never regretted it! Because I love you, my Lord!"

Her love was so clear and her burning gaze moved Lu Jing.

At this moment, he seemed to see the former Fang Rou again - so lively, so powerful!

"But my lord, Brother Kang is innocent! He was just unlucky to be born into my useless belly. He can't recognize his father or call his mother..." When Fang Rou said this, she could no longer control her emotions and began to choke up.

Even if she did it on purpose, deep down in her heart, she really felt guilty for her son.

If she hadn't been so disappointing, the child wouldn't have had to suffer so much.

Mingming was born after ten months of pregnancy and came into this world with so much expectation, but now, he doesn't even have a relative around him.

That was a piece of flesh that fell off her body!

How could she not feel distressed?

Fang Rou's sincerity softened Lu Jing's tense expression. When it comes to feelings, the relationship between him and Fang Rou is not as deep as that between all the women in the mansion.

Being with Shen Ruoyan was all about benefits. From the very beginning, there was no way for me to be sincere to her.

But for pearls and red and green, it means a man is fickle.

I love and pamper you, but I don’t necessarily want you.

The wild flowers on the roadside, you can pick this one and exchange it for another, there is always freshness and there are always new people coming.

If Zhuhong had not given him a son, his status in the mansion would not have been raised to its current level.

"Rou'er, I know your suffering. But now is not a good time to bring Brother Kang back." Lu Jing patiently explained to Fang Rou, "Now I just saved the emperor, I don't know how many people are jealous behind my back, and there are countless people staring at the Marquis' Mansion."

"At this moment, if we make a mistake, I'm afraid everyone will rush over. By then, the entire mansion will be in danger!"

He actually felt a little guilty towards Lu Ankang.

But compared to myself and the Marquis's Mansion, these guilt seem so insignificant.

Just like when he praised Lu Yan in front of others, it was not entirely sincere.

No matter how much the mute son does, he will not feel moved.

What can a mute achieve?

But in front of outsiders, he was deeply moved. If he remained indifferent to his son's filial piety, wouldn't it make him seem too heartless?

If the emperor knew about this, he would surely be suspicious.

He couldn't tell Fang Rou about these things. In Lu Jing's mind, Fang Rou knew the truth but couldn't bring herself to tell it to others. If he told her about important things, Lu Jing was worried that she, as a woman, couldn't control herself and accidentally let the cat out of the bag.

By then, it will only cause him trouble.

So now he was just trying to comfort her, "When this storm is over, I promise, I will definitely find a way to bring Brother Kang here so that you and your son can be reunited!"

Mother and child reunited?

Isn't it a father-son reunion?

Fang Rou already had an idea in her mind. She was afraid that Brother Kang was no longer as important in Lu Jing's heart as before.

When Lu Yan became mute, Lu Jing placed all his hopes on Brother Kang.

At that time, Shen Ruoyan's heart and eyes were full of Lu Jing, and she could not tolerate other women. Although she would not go against the wishes of her husband's family, she would cry all day long. Those who served her were all loyal servants brought by the Shen family.

If we’re not careful, it will reach the ears of the Shen family!

So Lu Jing had no choice. He had affairs outside but never dared to bring women home.

He said that he loved her deeply, but in fact, when he was out, his eyes were on those beautiful girls.

Fang Rou pretended to ignore all of this.

Because at that time she felt that as long as Brother Kang was there, she would be able to get through it.

As long as Brother Kang becomes the crown prince and inherits the Marquis's Mansion in the future, I will be the current Madam Lu, and all the hard days will be rewarded!

But now, it’s no longer possible!

Lu Sinian is still young, and being young means that his future has unlimited possibilities.

Fang Rou didn't dare to gamble, let alone gamble with her son's future!

Lu Ankang must be brought back as soon as possible, and he must be in front of Lu Jing more often to build a relationship with him. Let Lu Jing feel that this son is different from other sons - just like when there were so many flowers around him, in the end, only he bloomed in his heart!

The reason she was able to win over Lu Jing wasn't because of love.

As long as she brings Brother Kang back, Fang Rou has the confidence that she can let him regain a place in Lu Jing's heart!

So she just listened quietly to Lu Jing's explanation.

In fact, we are ready to start!
