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

After Aunt Ding was dragged away, the room became quiet and silent.

Liu Lu felt relieved. The servants in the marquis' mansion were so arrogant and acted more like masters than their own masters!

She was of low status and had no power, so even when she met an old servant like Madam Ding who was proud of her status, she could only compromise. Now that she saw Shen Ruoyan taking action to deal with the situation, she felt so happy!

"Watch your mouths about what happened today." Shen Ruoyan looked around, and her silent pressure made everyone present dare not act rashly again. Anyone who had seen the miserable state of Nanny Ding just now would not want to be the next one.

Killing the chicken to scare the monkey has a very good effect.

Shen Ruoyan put down the tea in her hand, Chunxi quickly refilled her cup, then met Shen Ruoyan's eyes and understood instantly.

"Madam is kind-hearted. If Nanny Ding hadn't been so harsh, you wouldn't be punished like this. If you do your job properly and follow the rules, you don't have to worry about it." Chun Xi said with a smile, but the words she said were chilling!

"Whether you get a beating or a meal is entirely up to you. We servants are here to share our masters' worries, not to cause trouble for them!"

She was Shen Ruoyan's personal maid, and had learned a few things from Shen Ruoyan.

When he spoke, despite his young age, he was very imposing.

Shen Ruoyan drank tea slowly but did not stop him. Liu Lu and Zhu Hong saw this and understood that this was a warning to everyone.

As for whether he only punished the servants or included them as well, you have to figure it out for yourself...

Although the news was blocked, the news of Nanny Ding being punished still reached the old lady's ears.

Moreover, even the reason why she was punished was clearly conveyed to the old lady!

"This rotten-tongued bitch! She relies on her years in this mansion to be talkative and dares to say all kinds of nonsense!" Madam Lu was very angry, but most importantly, she felt guilty. "Can she make up stories about Kang Ge and Jing Er? You really gave her face!"

When Nanny Xue heard about this, she was also very frightened.

"Old Madam, calm down. Aunt Ding is always quick-witted. She can make all the unfounded things become ironclad facts."

She calmed the old lady down and said, "Everyone in this mansion knows that she doesn't tell the truth. Don't take her words seriously..."

"I'm afraid that others won't take it seriously, but there will always be people who will take it to heart." Old Madam Lu sighed secretly, it was still a wrong decision after all.

This son Xiaomu, Kangge and Fang Rou look alike, which can be explained by coincidence. But Kangge is a good-looking child, and Xiaomu looks like his father... Aunt Ding is actually right, he really looks very similar to Lu Jing when he was a child!

"What was Ruoyan's reaction? Was he just punished?" Madam Lu was a little worried.

After the old marquis passed away, his son and daughter-in-law also died one after another. Lu Jing was still young, and the huge marquisate was left empty, with only the two of them relying on each other.

She knew that the Marquis' Mansion only looked glamorous from the outside, but was actually deeply in deficit inside.

If they want to keep the Marquis' Mansion going, it is not enough to rely on her and Lu Jing alone.

Only then did she realize what a great decision it was for the old marquis to go against everyone's opinion and marry her, the daughter of a humble family - if it were her, she really couldn't do it.

So she had been looking for a wife for Lu Jing early on, but those whose family backgrounds were too high looked down upon them. And those whose family backgrounds were too low would not be of much benefit to marrying them, and she did not want to let her grandson down.

Later, by chance, Lu Jing was able to marry the daughter of the Shen family, which was beyond her expectations!

But Lu Jing was really reckless. Not only did he not cherish such a good marriage, he even kept a mistress before Shen Ruoyan got married.

The Shen family has a clean and upright family tradition and they care most about their reputation. If they knew about this, even if Shen Ruoyan made a big fuss, they would definitely not let her marry into the family!

So she forced Lu Jing to hide Fang Rou, not even the edge of her skirt could be exposed, and he had to marry the girl from the Shen family!

But she knew clearly about the affair, and it was always a thorn in her heart. Maybe one day, she would be pricked by it if she wasn't careful. If Shen Ruoyan really found out, I'm afraid this thorn would not be as easy to remove as she imagined...

Nanny Xue knew what she was worried about, and lowered her voice and replied, "Madam didn't say anything, she just punished me. It seems that she doesn't take it to heart."

She observed carefully and saw the people in the Madam's yard doing what they were supposed to do. Apart from serving more carefully than usual, there was not much difference.

It seems that Shen Ruoyan just ignored what Nanny Ding said and forgot it after hearing it.

What really made her angry was probably that Nanny Ding had framed her master.

After all, the Shen family has strict rules and they should not tolerate such servants!

Madam Lu heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this, "That's good."

However, she thought of something and said with disgust, "Send someone to tell Fang Rou not to hang around in front of the gentlemen. With her lowly status, why is she always hanging around?"

What if she didn't know what Fang Rou was planning?

It's just that I don't want to be estranged from my son.

But she didn't even think about what her status was! If Brother Kang really followed her, would she still have a chance to succeed in the future?

If he is recognized under the name of the mistress, he will be the legitimate son and will be qualified to become the prince in the future.

But if people knew that his biological mother was just a concubine, and even a concubine who couldn't even see the light of day...his life would be ruined!

"She is confused. Explain it to her. For her son, she knows what to do." Mrs. Lu's old face no longer had the brilliance of the past. But when she said these words, it seemed as if she had returned to the days of intrigue in this mansion.

She looked fierce, "If she really doesn't know her limits, there's no need to keep her."

Nanny Xue was startled, but she quickly lowered her head and said, "Yes, I know what to do."

Lu Ankang is the prince chosen by the old lady. He is the blood of the Marquis, and the future of the Marquis's mansion all depends on him.

Moreover, he is now being raised by the old lady, and Fang Rou only knows how to prevent her son from being alienated and being won over by Shen Ruoyan. However, she forgets that the old lady is also among the people being won over!

If his biological mother was gone, wouldn't Lu Ankang be easier to control?

Unfortunately, Fang Rou was short-sighted and could not see how deep the water was. She would never understand the principle of the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole was waiting behind.

When Nanny Xue secretly went to Fang Rou's yard in the middle of the night, she thought she was doing it very secretly and no one would find out.

She hurried back to the old lady's yard, but she didn't see that after she left, another light figure also walked quickly towards the back yard -

It’s Chun Xi!

She sent people to keep an eye on Shen Ruoyan's yard, but she didn't know that she had already been targeted.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it - but the hunter has a clear view of it all!
