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

Liu Lu paused, as if he realized that there was something wrong with what he said.

She smiled awkwardly, and Zhuhong beside her whispered, "The eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar. It is also Aunt Fang's blessing to be able to resemble the young master."

No one present dared to say a word.

But, I heard it.

This person, it's fine when he doesn't talk about it, because everyone is busy every day and no one pays attention to these details. But once someone brings it up, and you think about it carefully, it seems to be true!

Kang Ge's eyes were big, and Aunt Fang usually kept her eyebrows down and looked docile, but her eyes were indeed not small. Especially the shape of her face, it was as if they were carved from the same mold!

Isn’t it just like that?!

Someone inadvertently mentioned, "If you ask me, this Concubine Fang and Brother Kang are only somewhat similar. But Brother Kang really looks like the Marquis when he was a child. No wonder the old lady dotes on him so much..."

Shen Ruoyan looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who said this was the old man who served in the mansion. He was used to gossiping and accidentally made a mistake in front of his master.

"Madam, calm down!"

Realizing that she had said something wrong, the old slave quickly knelt down. She wanted to put her tongue back in. This was the mistress. How could she be happy to hear that the adopted child looked like the marquis?

Chun Xi was also angry and said sarcastically, "Madame Ding is so bold. You can really make up the master's affairs?!"

No matter if they look like it or not, as servants, they cannot make irresponsible remarks about their masters.

What's more, this happened in front of the master!

She saw that the older Madam Ding got, the less sensible she became. In the past, the mansion was in chaos. The old lady had a loose management system and had a large number of lazy and unruly slaves under her - Madam Ding was one of them.

"It doesn't matter whether you calm down or not. Working in the Marquis' Mansion is different from working in an ordinary family. When you go out, you represent the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion. If you cause trouble, others will come to you to look for the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion."

Before, Shen Ruoyan felt that the servants of the Changning Marquis' Mansion were impetuous and reckless, and did not follow the rules taught by the aristocratic families at all.

Later, when I met the old lady, I finally understood what it meant to "the upper beam is crooked, and the lower beams will be crooked as well."

The old lady herself was of humble origin, and it was the old marquis who fell in love with her at first sight and married her, the daughter of a minor official, against all odds.

As a wife, the old lady actually did a good job. She devoted herself to the management of the mansion, and when the old marquis was around, she served him attentively and properly, allowing him to feel the warmth of home when he returned to the mansion.

But after the old marquis passed away, the old lady was not enough to support the entire marquisate.

She was a strong-willed person, and she firmly believed that as long as the glory of the Marquis' Mansion existed, her status would remain.

So she devoted herself to raising Lu Jing and maintaining the Marquis' Mansion, but forgot that rotten trees rot from the inside...

"Madame Ding is an elder in the mansion. Normally, she shouldn't be so ignorant of the rules. It seems that I am too lenient with everyone on weekdays, which is why you servants dare to say anything outside!"

"If you don't take care of it, I'm afraid that next time, I'll say nonsense in front of the Marquis!"

These people, relying on the fact that they are in the hands of the old lady, are arrogant even in her own yard in front of other servants.

Shen Ruoyan had wanted to take action to clean up the mess for a long time, but had not yet found the right opportunity.

Just when I felt sleepy, someone brought me a pillow - Nanny Ding came at the right time!

"In our Shen family, such unruly slaves who have no respect for their superiors and who plot against their masters will be sold..."

Madam Ding's legs went weak, and she couldn't even kneel down. She fell to the ground and said, "Madam, please spare me! I have been in the mansion for so long. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard! Madam, please spare me for the sake of the old lady!"

She kept knocking her head on the ground, even when blood came out, she didn't dare to stop!

[Madam seems easy to talk to on weekdays, but when she gets angry, she is really scary! ]

[Madame Ding is an elder in the mansion after all, and she is the old lady’s person. If the old lady really wants to sell her out, it will really make us old slaves feel disheartened...]

[A new emperor appoints new ministers. It seems that the situation in this palace is really going to change! ]

The servants had different thoughts, and the expressions on their faces seemed extremely complicated.

But even though Nanny Ding's head was broken and bleeding, no one present stood up to plead for her.

"Madame Ding, what are you doing? Madam is only talking about selling you, not forcing you to death. Who are you showing this to?" Liu Lu was outspoken and took the opportunity to stand on Shen Ruoyan's side. "Or do you think that you can force Madam to let you go by doing this?"

"You!" Nanny Ding stopped and felt furious. How could a lowly concubine dare to yell at her?

If the old lady were here, she would definitely seek justice for me!

But after what happened just now, she dared not show any dissatisfaction. "Auntie, you have wronged me. I know I have made a big mistake. How can I, a lowly person, force you? I just hope that you can give me a chance to live because I have served you."

As she spoke, tears began to flow.

Because of fear and terror, I was sad with all my heart.

"The old lady has been kind to me, and I only want to stay by her side. If I leave the Marquis' Mansion, I won't be able to survive..."

Shen Ruoyan watched her performance quietly, so it was no surprise that this slave was difficult to deal with no matter where she went.

The reason why I didn't take action against them immediately before was because of this.

But there is no turning back once you start something. If she fails at the hands of Madam Ding, she won’t have to take care of this Marquis’ Mansion anymore!

"If it weren't for the fact that you served the old lady, I would have kicked you out for being so outspoken!" Shen Ruoyan acted very angry. Chun Xi hurried forward and handed her a cup of tea. "Madam, calm down. Don't get yourself hurt by being angry."

"Everyone knows that you are a very kind person, Madam. If it weren't for Madam Ding's fabrication of the Marquis and Young Master Kang, how could you have been so angry?"

As he said that, he glared at Aunt Ding fiercely, "Aunt Ding, can't you control your mouth? Why are you still feeling wronged?"

She still has the nerve to bring up the old lady. Does she really think that if the old lady knew, she would plead for her?

Shen Ruoyan supported his forehead tiredly and waved his hand, "Forget it, since she has served the old lady, I will give her twenty strokes of the cane and deduct one month's salary to serve as a warning to others."

"Madam, please spare me! Madam! Madam, I am the old lady's person, you can't do this to me..."

Nanny Ding spoke without thinking, and before she could finish her words, Qiu Ye rolled up a handkerchief and stuffed it into her mouth, blocking her voice.

"If you keep barking, the lady will sell you out, don't you believe it?"

After Shen Ruoyan became the head of the family, the first thing he did was to take control of the indentures of all the servants.

So what if you are the old lady’s person? As long as you have the indenture, she will sell you anyway!

Nanny Ding's eyes widened in horror, she struggled and sobbed, feeling extremely regretful for her decision.

Her mouth! Why couldn't she hold back just now?
