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

Just as Madam Lu was thinking about how to get Lu Ankang back, a notification came from outside -

Lu Jing is back!

Her eyes immediately turned cold and her glares flew straight towards Fang Rou!

【This bitch! 】

Fang Rou wanted her son to escape from Shen Ruoyan's clutches, so she naturally wouldn't just target the old lady. Therefore, she had already sent someone to pass on the message to Lu Jing, and even calculated the time to ensure that she could rush over as soon as he returned.

When Lu Jing entered the room, the first person he saw was the domineering Shen Ruoyan. And Fang Rou, who was half-kneeling beside her, with both sides of her face red and swollen!

"What's going on?" He walked forward, helped Fang Rou up distressedly, and said in a deep voice: "Who hit you?!"

Qiu Ye wanted to step forward, but was blocked by Shen Ruoyan behind him, "Auntie was disrespectful to me, this is the punishment she deserves."

Lu Jing changed his opinion of Shen Ruoyan a few days ago, but he didn't expect that in such a short time, she would return to her old ways.

He was heartbroken, "Rou'er is so weak that even a maid can bully her. How could she be disrespectful to you?"

Hearing this, Fang Rou began to sob softly in his arms again.

Even the maids can bully her?

Shen Ruoyan was speechless. Could Lu Jing be talking about Cai Zhi, the maid who was beaten and scolded by Fang Rou for no reason, and then turned around and accused her of bullying her?

Caizhi was forced to jump into the well, but Qiuye passed by and rescued her.

Afterwards, Lu Jing was deceived by her sweet words and wanted to punish her, which made Shen Ruoyan find a random excuse and said that the maid had been sold.

I thought Lu Jing was stupid, but I didn't expect that he could be so stupid in front of a woman!

"So, Lord Marquis, are you questioning me for a concubine?" Shen Ruoyan asked instead of answering, and suddenly looked at Madam Lu who was sitting above, "Grandmother, you have to make the decision for your granddaughter-in-law!"

Before Madam Lu could speak, Lu Jing could not help but say, "Why bother Grandmother? Even if Rou'er was disrespectful to you, you shouldn't hit her. How about this, you apologize to Rou'er and let's just forget about it."

In the past, Shen Ruoyan always compromised for him.

So when Lu Jing said it, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Who knew that Shen Ruoyan would just lift up her skirt, plop down on the ground, and kneel down:

"Grandmother, although I, Shen Ruoyan, am sincere to the Marquis' Mansion, I am at least the legitimate daughter of the Shen family. I represent not only my own reputation, but also the good name of the Shen family for generations!"

"My Lord, you are going to humiliate me today just for a concubine. Do you think there is no one in my Shen family?"

"Or does the Marquis favor his concubine over his wife, and Grandmother doesn't care?!"

Madam Lu: “…”

She really doesn't want to care anymore!

So what if she favors her concubine over her wife? So what if she favors Kang Ge? This is in the Marquis' Mansion, they can do whatever they want, why should they care about Shen Ruoyan's opinion?

However, Shen Ruoyan was right about one thing—did this mean that there was no one left in her Shen family?

Shen Ruoyan's grandfather has many students all over the world, and her cousin has passed the imperial examination and is about to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination.

At this critical juncture, where can we move?

"Jing'er, stop messing around!" Madam Lu scolded, "Mrs. Fang has no manners and offended the mistress. She should be punished. No matter how much you love her, you have to consider the reputation of the Marquisate."

Lu Jing tightened his grip. Was it the reputation of the Marquisate again?

It seems that no matter what happens, the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion is always more important than anything else!

Nothing has changed, whether in the past or now!

"No, she must have punished Rou'er on purpose. Shen Ruoyan, you must apologize to Rou'er today!"

Chunxi and Qiuye opened their eyes wide. They really couldn't have imagined that a dignified marquis could be so blind and heartless!

Their wife was the mistress of the Changning Marquis's mansion, married through formal marriage, and she was the legal wife of the emperor! Now, she was just punishing a concubine, but she was forced to apologize?

Is there any justice in this world?

Shen Ruoyan's lips were trembling and she couldn't even stand. Fortunately, Chunxi and Qiuye supported her and prevented her from falling.

She looked at Lu Jing, her eyes filled with sadness and disappointment.

"My Lord, you actually did such a ridiculous thing for a concubine! It was me, Shen Ruoyan, who misjudged you. It's my fault for not judging people well. Now I just think it's retribution!"

Tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes. Lu Jing felt a little reluctant to see this. Just as he was about to speak to comfort her, he was interrupted by Shen Ruoyan.

"Since the Marquis insists on doing so, I have nothing to say. The mistress of the Changning Marquis's Mansion should apologize to the aunt, but I am the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, and it is impossible! If the Marquis is dissatisfied, just give me the divorce letter."

"Also, since Brother Kang is with me and some people think it's inappropriate, let him come back tomorrow."

Shen Ruoyan's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked extremely pitiful. "Anyway, no matter what I do, it won't end well, so I won't rush to cause trouble!"

"Nonsense!" Madam Lu threw the tea, her eyes red with anger, "What do you mean by divorce or not? What are you saying in anger?"

He glared at Lu Jing again and said, "Jing'er, have I taught you to completely forget the rules of the Marquis' Mansion?"

Without waiting for Lu Jing to speak, she asked sternly, "Or now that you've become a marquis, you can't even stand an old woman like me?"

Lu Jing's heart was touched, how could he dare to respond?

He quickly lowered his head and even let go of Fang Rou's hand, "Grandma, what are you talking about? I dare not."

"Don't dare?" Madam Lu sneered, "I think you dare very much!"

Snap!

Another cup of hot tea was thrown over and landed right at Lu Jing's feet, instantly sobering up his impulsive mind!

"Grandma, calm down!"

Lu Jing also knelt down. He has always been a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. When he is angry, he is really angry, but when he needs to be timid, he will be timid without hesitation.

Even Fang Rou was pulled down by him and made to kneel together.

Shen Ruoyan watched coldly, looking at the grandfather and grandson singing the same tune, trying to make herself relax.

Unfortunately, now that the play has already begun, if I stop here, wouldn’t all my affectations be wasted?

Then, she rolled her eyes and fainted!

"Oh no! Madam has fainted!"

"Madam, please don't scare me, Madam? The eldest master is about to come to the capital, what should I do?"

"Quickly find Doctor Xu and tell him that the lady has fainted from anger. Quickly ask him to come and save her!"

The two girls, Chunxi and Qiuye, sang the same tune and took me out with a lot of noise.

The next day, the news that the mistress of the Changning Marquis's Mansion had fainted because she was so angry that her husband favored his concubine over his wife had spread.

When Lu Jing was walking outside, people were looking at him, both openly and covertly.

The scholars in Shengjing City wrote poems and lyrics to curse Lu Jing in various ways.

Even the censors in the Golden Palace sent memorials to the cabinet one after another as if they were free, accusing Lu Jing of having poor personal ethics and being unfit to handle such a big responsibility!

He poked the hornet's nest of scholars in one fell swoop and was stung all over his head. He felt the power from the Shen family personally.

And this is not the most important thing, because Lu Jing received news——

It is said that the Shen family is already on the way to Beijing!
