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

"Brother Kang, tell the truth!"

Seeing that the princess's anger was out of control, Shen Ruoyan hurried forward and raised her voice angrily: "Tell mother, is what you just said true?"

"All, all are true..."

Although he said so, Lu Ankang's confidence was obviously insufficient.

All the ladies present were shrewd people in the backyard. They saw through Lu Ankang's trick at a glance.

He doesn't need to admit whether he lied or not.

Shen Ruoyan closed her eyes in disappointment and fell backwards. Fortunately, Chun Xi supported her in time and prevented Shen Ruoyan from falling to the ground.

"Please forgive me, Princess. It is indeed the ignorance and rudeness of the children in our mansion. Don't worry, Princess. The Changning Marquis' Mansion will give an explanation to the prince!" Shen Ruoyan bowed. Lu Ankang's lies made her unable to raise her head in front of the princess.

It is not terrible to do something wrong. What is terrible is that you have no awareness and courage to take responsibility.

Although she had never had any expectations for Lu Ankang, this time, she was completely disappointed.

She originally thought that it was just a lack of character training, and perhaps there was room for improvement. But this time she discovered that this child was just like this, a born bad seed!

Even after returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Lu Ankang was still very stubborn. No matter whether Lu Jing or Old Madam Lu asked him, he insisted that he had not pushed the prince, let alone said such nonsense!

The night outside was completely dark, but the Marquis' Mansion was still brightly lit.

Different from the luxury and indulgence in the prince's mansion, the lights in the marquis' mansion are bright but cannot illuminate the gloomy hearts of everyone.

"Ruoyan, is there a misunderstanding here? Brother Kang said that he didn't push it. Maybe, the young master of the palace is lying?" Old Madam Lu was still willing to believe her grandson. She had also heard of the title of the young master of the palace. He was truly a lawless little bully!

Shen Ruoyan was tired and really didn't want to say more, so she looked directly at Lu Jing, "My Lord, what do you think?"

Before Lu Jing spoke, she added softly, "After all, you are a member of Fenglinwei now..."

The maintenance that was about to be delivered was not even turned around and was directly returned.

The old lady had her own protection for her grandson, so she subconsciously chose to believe Lu Ankang's words. However, Lu Ankang was tough, but his eyes were so fluctuating that his eyeballs almost fell out - any normal person could see that he was lying!

Not to mention that Lu Jing had taken him in before, so he had some understanding of his son's character.

"Brother Kang, don't be afraid. It doesn't matter even if you push the prince away, but you have to tell us so that we can help you." Lu Jing lowered his voice so as not to scare him.

For Lu Ankang, Lu Jing is the sky that supports his head. From childhood to adulthood, as long as Lu Jing is there, there is no problem that he cannot solve.

Lu Ankang was a little hesitant. After knowing that the person he pushed was the prince of the royal palace, he knew that he was in big trouble!

So no matter who asked him, he didn't dare to say that he pushed it himself, because there was a voice in his heart that kept telling him not to say it, absolutely not to say it!

"Don't be afraid. You know I love you the most and I will definitely protect you." Lu Jing squatted down. Even in private, he had never been so gentle to the children.

Lu Ankang looked at his broad shoulders, and the fear in his heart broke through, "I pushed him, but I didn't know he was the prince!"

Snapped!

"What are you doing?!"

The sound of slapping and the old lady's exclamation rang out at the same time, and Lu Ankang was directly slapped away by Lu Jing!

He covered his face and cried miserably, "Didn't you say you would protect me? Why did you hit me?"

Being slapped by the person he trusted the most, breaking his inner defenses, Lu Ankang's heart was broken into countless pieces. He stared at Lu Jing with wide eyes, unable to believe that this was the father who doted on him and loved him!

"You little bastard, I'm going to hit you!"

Lu Jing was extremely angry. Compared to the fact that Lu Ankang had caused the prince to be injured, the fact that he had lied was even more difficult for Lu Jing to accept!

Although he was unable to inherit his grandfather's ability and become a military commander who killed enemies on the battlefield, deep down, he always felt that he was from a military family and had a heroic spirit!

But, she gave birth to such a cowardly son!

Not only does he not dare to admit his mistakes, but he also finds ways to lie here. The most hateful thing is that he even dares to lie to his father?

If he hadn't seen through it and gotten the words out of him, when Prince Shun's palace sent people over, he would probably be made into a joke, telling people that his son didn't push anyone and that it was all the prince's fault!

How hateful!

"My Lord, please calm down. The most urgent thing is to give an explanation to the Prince's Mansion. Otherwise, I'm afraid the entire Marquis' Mansion will be in turmoil."

I understand you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet.

After all, what we need to deal with now is not your lying son, but the powerful royal palace!

Shen Ruoyan had managed to get Lu Jing's mess into Fenglinwei with great difficulty. If she angered Prince Shun's Mansion here, Lu Jing's future situation would be very difficult.

Given Prince Shun's current relationship with the Emperor, he would definitely stand on his brother's side even for the sake of face.

By then, the only one who will be sacrificed is the Marquis' Mansion!

Shen Ruoyan absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen, and suggested: "The prince was injured on the forehead. I asked someone and heard that it might leave a scar..."

"what?!"

Old Madam Lu took a deep breath and almost fainted from fright!

Families in Shengjing City value appearance the most. Whether it is a girl or a boy, a good-looking face is very important.

Although the scar on his face would not affect his career, he is the prince of a royal palace!

There is a scar on his forehead. Do you still expect him to think that this is a sign of manliness?

Even Mrs. Lu realized at this moment that this matter was serious, and it was not a matter of right and wrong between children that could be resolved. What about Lu Jing?

His gaze made Lu Ankang shrink back, tightly grasping the corner of the old lady's clothes, not daring to let go.

"I, I was wrong..."

"You were wrong?" Lu Jing was so angry that he almost laughed. "Do you think that this matter is over just because you admit your mistake?"

Shen Ruoyan sighed and held him back, "My Lord, it's useless to be angry now. The princess is very angry. She said that if we can't give a satisfactory explanation, she will let you go to the emperor for help."

Silence. The only thing flowing in the house is silence.

The old lady held Lu Ankang's hand tightly and remained silent for a long time.

After Lu Jing calmed down, his voice became a little hoarse, "Madam, in your opinion, what should we do about this matter?"

The eyes of everyone present fell on Shen Ruoyan. In response, she said calmly:

"Send Brother Kang to a farm in the countryside and make sure he can never return to the capital. This will calm the princess's anger."

"No! What's the difference between that and letting Brother Kang go to his death?!" Old Madam Lu was the first to disagree.

I went to a farm in the countryside and could not return to Beijing in this life. How could Brother Kang become the crown prince and inherit the Marquisate in the future? What was the difference between this and being dead?

Lu Jing was also somewhat reluctant. He looked at Shen Ruoyan, feeling somewhat conflicted. But after a moment of silence, he still asked, "Ruoyan, can you ask your grandfather to beg for mercy?"

Shen Ruoyan was shocked!

For Lu Ankang, Lu Jing dared to say anything stupid! For a concubine's son, he actually wanted her grandfather to beg for mercy -

What a big face this is!

Shen Ruoyan smiled when he heard this, without even taking a breath, "My Lord, do you mean to let my elderly grandfather, who is not able to distinguish right from wrong, risk being spurned by all the scholars in the world, to plead for this wild child who was brought back from outside and whose parents are unknown to him?"

She sneered, "My Lord, do you think this is appropriate?"

[Open your dog eyes and see if this is appropriate?! ]
