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

"Grandmother, you misunderstood. I just suddenly remembered that the position of the Crown Prince was granted by the Emperor himself. If we change the Crown Prince without authorization, wouldn't that be disrespectful to the Emperor?"

Before Lu Yan became mute, he was known as a child prodigy with photographic memory in Shengjing City.

When Shen Mo returned to Beijing to meet the emperor, he brought his grandson with him. The emperor was very pleased to see him and personally named him the prince of the Marquisate - even if it was a verbal order, it was equivalent to an imperial decree!

The Changning Marquisate had declined over the years, and the old lady was old and didn't go out much. Lu Jing was even more of a spendthrift, holding an idle position with no power or influence, and the sons of the aristocratic family didn't like to associate with him.

As a result, the situation in Shengjing City was also unclear.

When the old lady wanted to change the prince, Shen Ruoyan had some doubts. She didn't know what the Lu family was up to. But she didn't expect that they were so stupid that they couldn't even understand the interests involved!

"Maybe it's been so long that grandma has forgotten." Shen Ruoyan said softly.

Lu Jing was stunned and broke out in a cold sweat.

Not to mention grandmother, even he forgot!

Back then, Lu Yan was able to read and write quickly, and was named the Crown Prince by the Emperor himself, which made him very proud. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long, and the child became mute soon after. Naturally, these things were gradually forgotten.

Madam Lu held the armrest tightly. What should she do? Will the Marquis' Mansion let a mute be the prince in the future? !

Wouldn't their Changning Marquis Mansion become the laughing stock of the entire Shengjing?

No, she would never allow this to happen!

Seeing their reactions, Shen Ruoyan was no longer anxious. "Maybe I'm overthinking it. Maybe it's been so long, the emperor might have forgotten..."

It doesn’t matter whether the emperor has forgotten or not. What’s important is that as long as the Lu family is not crazy, they will not dare to take the risk to replace the prince!

Lu Jing touched his nose and said, "The emperor's words are golden, and this marquis will naturally remember them in his heart. What he just said is that you should adopt Kang Ge and Chang Chuan. In the future, they will be the sons of the marquis' mansion."

Madam Lu was shocked, "Jing'er?"

Lu Jing looked away guiltily, "It's settled!"

After saying this, he made the excuse that he had official business to attend to and left in a hurry.

Shen Ruoyan bowed and saluted, "Farewell, my Lord.

Since it was not a change of crown prince, Lu Jing did not stay in the mansion the next day, and the adoption matter was left to Shen Ruoyan.

"Brother Kang, you will be the son of the Marquis's mansion from now on. You must study and write well with your teacher and become a talent as soon as possible!"

Seeing her grandson included in the family tree, Mrs. Lu was in a good mood. All her depression yesterday turned into anticipation for her grandson.

The first step to hope that Sun Chenglong will become a successful person is to hire a strict and famous teacher for the child.

Lu Ankang grew up in the countryside. His concubine's mother was illiterate and only cared about whether the marquis would come or not. She never thought of teaching him to read and write.

The teacher that Old Lady Lu hired had a lot of connections and was well-known in Shengjing City. Although not as famous as Shen Ruoyan's mother's family, it was also very popular.

As for why she didn't let Shen Ruoyan find it... only Madam Lu herself knew the reason.

"Great-grandmother, studying is so tiring. Brother Kang doesn't want to study." Lu Ankang acted softly and coquettishly. He came to the Marquis' Mansion to enjoy life, not to suffer!

Who would have thought that the old lady, who always responded to his requests, would frown and say, "Nonsense! As the son of a marquis, how can you not study?"

You not only have to read, you have to read better than anyone else.

Let everyone know that you are better than the prince!

Madam Lu's eyes made Lu Ankang shrink. He swallowed and responded quietly.

But deep down, I still resisted.

"Then can I study with the prince and the others?" Lu Ankang had a good idea. If the teacher taught him alone, he would naturally be watched all the time. But if there were too many people, he could find an opportunity to slack off...

Old Madam Lu smiled. As expected, she still had the mind of a child and liked to be lively.

"Brother Kang, the one that your great-grandmother found for you is the best possible teacher. The prince and his men... don't need him."

It’s not that they can’t use it, but that we don’t intend to give it to them at all!

Fortunately, Shen Ruoyan was well prepared for this.

"Thank you for your trust, Madam. However, studying is not something that can be done overnight. Only by concentrating and thinking can one gain insights. Therefore, Pei has a rule that all classes must be taught by the young masters themselves and not by others. No one is allowed to enter the classroom to disturb it. I hope Madam will forgive me."

Shen Ruoyan smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, sir, I can save you the trouble."

Pei Rushi was a person highly praised by her grandfather. She was willing to come and teach the child this time because she owed her grandfather a favor. In time, if Pei Rushi was in Shengjing, he would become a great man!

A rich family dotes on their children. Pei Rushi's concerns were not unnecessary.

In his previous life, the emperor was mediocre and had poor self-control. In order to help him become a talent, she stayed by his side day and night, and even stood beside him with a stick, which stopped him from being lazy and skipping school.

He went from being a mediocre prince to a gentleman praised by all the ministers of the previous emperor.

Unfortunately, the emperor suffered a lot and became a superior person.

But because of this, I hated her!

He blamed her for forcing him to study, saying that an adoptive mother was not as good as his biological mother. His biological mother cared about him, but his adoptive mother only forced him to succeed!

If she were to live her life over again, she would not make the same mistake again, "Sir, just discipline me, don't worry about anything else."

No matter how she is taught, she will not interfere.

Professional matters should be left to professionals. She is the children's mother, not a teacher.

After handing the two children over to Pei Rushi for instruction, Shen Ruoyan did not linger any longer. He led his people and walked slowly towards the old lady.

"Madam, I heard that the old lady is looking for Master Song. Before, Sheng'an Marquis' Mansion had praised him highly!" Chun Xi felt sorry for the young master, "They are all sons of the Marquis' Mansion, but she gave him to that one child..."

Shen Ruoyan smiled, thinking that misfortune may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

There were subtle footsteps behind her, but Chun Xi didn't notice them and continued, "Master Song is very strict in teaching. The young master of Sheng'an Marquis's Mansion has been spanked by him. But he taught him very well. People in the Marquis's Mansion said that the young master has changed a lot!"

"If it were my son, I would definitely not want him to suffer this."

Shen Ruoyan slowed down his pace and chatted with Chunxi, "Since he was born in a marquis's mansion, as long as he doesn't commit crimes, he will definitely be rich and prosperous for the rest of his life. Why should he suffer the hardships of those scholars?"

"Mother!"

Lu Ankang ran out from behind the rockery, and when he saw Shen Ruoyan, he first looked at her with his big eyes flashing, and then imitated an adult and performed an impolite salute.

"Greetings to mother."

Shen Ruoyan was amused by him and stepped forward and asked, "Why is Brother Kang here?"

Now is the time for you, gentlemen, to read.

Lu Ankang's eyes flickered, and he suddenly covered his stomach, "I, my stomach feels uncomfortable."

"Oh?" Shen Ruoyan didn't expose him, but just asked: "Then why are you here alone? Where is the servant who followed you?"

Lu Ankang finally managed to shake off the servant. Upon hearing this, he became panicked and stammered, unable to speak.

But Shen Ruoyan seemed not to notice and said angrily: "These servants really need to be properly controlled. They didn't even notice that the young master was lost!"

She gently took Lu Ankang's hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, mother will take you back."

Perhaps infected by her gentle attitude, Lu Ankang also grew bolder, "Mother, Kang Ge, Kang Ge doesn't want to go back."

"Why is this?" Shen Ruoyan pretended to be confused.

Lu Ankang: "Mother, the teacher is too fierce. Brother Kang doesn't want to study with him!"

Master Song was a man who dared to beat even the son of a first-rank marquis, not to mention Lu Ankang, the adopted son of the marquis. He had never suffered such hardship at such a young age, and he was unwilling to study anymore!

"Brother Kang has worked so hard..." Shen Ruoyan touched his head lovingly, "But, mother can't do anything about it."

"This Master Song was invited by Grandmother with great difficulty. Even though he is a bit strict, it is for your own good!"

Lu Ankang lowered his head in disappointment. What good is that for him?

If it's really for his own good, why let him suffer? !
