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

The pain in his palm clearly revealed Shen Ruoyan's embarrassing situation.

She raised her hands tremblingly and covered her chest: "I'm going to hit you!"

Lu Jing's eyes widened, "Shen Ruoyan, you are crazy!"

"Yes, I'm going crazy!" Shen Ruoyan pulled off the hairpin on her head, and her dark hair fell like water. "People outside are saying that I, the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, am not even as good as the servants. My legitimate son is a mute, and I accepted it. They asked me to adopt a son, and I did."

Tears slid down her face in big drops, like pearls that had broken off the string, crackling and impossible to catch.

"Even if I feel wronged, I am willing to do it for the sake of the Marquis's Mansion. But Lord Marquis, you stayed at Meilan Garden the day before yesterday, and yesterday you were fighting with a flower girl on the street, and today you were even hugging her left and right and parading through the streets... Lord Marquis, how long are you going to humiliate me?!"

Who in Shengjing City doesn't know that Lu Jing is out there looking for girls and women?

She felt really aggrieved as the mistress of a marquis's family!

"If the Marquis wants to take a concubine, as the mistress, I will make arrangements and have her carried into the house. But the Marquis is so casual, which is not only a slap in my face, but also a joke to outsiders!" Shen Ruoyan's hands were still shaking slightly, which was enough to prove how much courage it took for her to say this.

Although Lu Jing is a playboy, he is not stupid. Seeing Shen Ruoyan's tearful face, his anger gradually subsided, "If you have something to say, just say it nicely, why are you hitting me..."

With the red marks on his face, he didn't dare to move forward. "Your grandfather's birthday is coming up in a few days, and I have to go out for a trip. Please prepare a list and I'll deliver it myself."

After saying this, he left quickly without waiting for Shen Ruoyan to speak.

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

Chunxi and Qiuye came over worriedly. Qiuye poured a cup of tea on the table next to her and said, "Madam, have a drink of tea to calm your nerves."

They were both really scared just now, and they thought the Marquis would be so angry that he would fight with the Madam!

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Shen Ruoyan took a sip of tea, her eyes slightly darkened. It was indeed affected by her body, she could not hold her temper.

It seems that after being reborn, my age has gone back.

"I was really scared just now. I thought the Marquis would..." Chun Xi stopped talking halfway. In fact, what surprised her even more was that the lady would actually attack the Marquis!

You know, in the past, the Madam regarded the Marquis as her God and would never refute a single word he said. She always did what the Marquis thought.

As expected, he was heartbroken, right?

"After all, they are husband and wife..." Shen Ruoyan sighed secretly, but he felt relaxed in his heart.

The Wei Dynasty is most afraid of ghosts and gods, so as to avoid misleading the people. If people find out that Shen Ruoyan's heart has been replaced by someone else, I'm afraid the next time will be the day she is drowned!

I just couldn't help it, but luckily I managed to get it back. It seems that I need to be cautious in the future and not take it lightly.

"Chun Xi, go and help me grind the ink. Qiu Ye, bring the warehouse book." Grandfather's birthday is next month, so it's no wonder that Lu Jing would come here on his own initiative.

Although Shen Ruoyan's grandfather Shen Mo was a man of noble character, the Lishan Academy he founded produced many talented people. At least half of the people in the court were Shen Mo's students.

Lu Jing has no official position and no talent, which has caused the Changning Marquisate to become increasingly weak in recent years. If it weren't for Shen Ruoyan's hard work, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to maintain their basic dignity.

So even if Lu Jing was having an affair outside, he didn't dare to bring anyone into the house. Shen Ruoyan was a soft persimmon, but the people in the Shen family were not so easy to deal with.

"Madam, if the master knew your situation, he would definitely support you." Chun Xi ground the ink and watched Shen Ruoyan write slowly, as if she had returned to the carefree days in the boudoir.

At that time, Shen Ruoyan was the only girl in the Shen family, and the whole family held her in the palm of their hands.

It's nothing like being in the Marquis' Mansion, working hard all day and not getting any benefits...

Shen Ruoyan smiled and said, "A married woman should obey her husband. How can I let my grandfather worry about me again? Don't worry, things will get better in the future."

"But Madam treated the Marquis like this today. I'm afraid that in the future the Marquis will..." Chun Xi knelt down immediately after she finished speaking, "Madam, calm down. That's not what I meant!"

Shen Ruoyan: "Get up, it's not a big deal, don't be startled."

She understood Chunxi's concerns. In the backyard, men are the heaven of women. She slapped Lu Jing today, so she would naturally be hated. From now on, don't even think about getting Lu Jing's favor again.

But who is she?

The story of the Empress Dowager beating the Emperor with an iron whip is still talked about by the people. Even the current Emperor grew up under the Empress Dowager's stick!

It's just a slap, just give it to me.

If this really bothers her, it's not impossible to replace this Marquis.

She has always disdained the idea that women have to cling to men for a living. If she believed this, she wouldn't even have been able to climb to the position of queen!

Whether it's a man or power, if you want it, you have to fight for it yourself. To fight for power, you rely on your brain, not on any man...

The emperor is no more than this, not to mention Lu Jing, who is just an embroidered pillow.

"Don't worry, the Marquis is very magnanimous and won't hold it against me." Shen Ruoyan said with a smile.

Even if he wanted to care, she would make it impossible for him to do so.

Fortunately, what happened last night was only known by Shen Ruoyan and two trusted maids, and it was not spread out.

As for Lu Jing, he went to the military camp before dawn, probably because he was concerned about his face.

Shen Ruoyan didn't have much of an appetite in the morning, so she moved her chopsticks a few times before asking someone to put the food away. As soon as she stood up, she heard someone outside shouting hurriedly, "Oh no, something happened!"

"How dare you! What are you shouting about in the mistress's yard?" Qiu Ye stopped the man.

When the man saw that it was Qiu Ye, he shouted even louder, "Sister Qiu Ye, it's bad, the prince... the prince and the two young masters are fighting!"

"What?!" Qiu Ye was startled and was about to go in to report, but before he could take a step, Shen Ruoyan came out.

"They're just kids fighting, why are you so scared?" Shen Ruoyan looked disdainful.

The rules of the Changning Marquis' Mansion are really not good. For a wealthy family, they order people around for trivial matters, making people laugh at them for no reason.

When she has free time, she will clean it up.

"How did they start fighting? Who started it first? Tell me in detail." Shen Ruoyan asked as he walked, without even showing any sign of breathlessness.

Her calm attitude also infected the people around her and they gradually calmed down:

"It was Young Master Kang who wanted to snatch the prince's bamboo flute. The prince didn't want to, so he started to fight with him. Young Master Changchuan wanted to stop the fight, but for some reason, he started fighting with Young Master Kang again... When the servants went to separate them, the prince bit Young Master Kang again, and now he is crying in the old lady's yard!"

Shen Ruoyan was amazed by what she heard - it was really lively!
