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

"Am I going too far?"

Qin Shaobei didn't care and asked Shen Ruoyan to come over. "Ayan, take a look. Is your cousin going too far?"

He just asked Lu Jing to promise that he would either never allow a concubine's son to marry into the family, or never change the heir to the throne. How was that too much?

How could this be considered too much?

This Marquis Changning is really petty and can't stand any grievance.

Shen Ruoyan held back her laughter, trying not to make her expression too obvious. She pretended to look at it seriously, thinking carefully, and then slowly spoke under Lu Jing's expectant gaze:

"What my cousin said is absolutely right. There is nothing wrong with it."

You can't have your cake and eat it too. Lu Jing has made a good calculation. He treats everyone in the world as fools, only caring about himself and ignoring others.

In the past, Shen Ruoyan would have given in to him, but now...

"My Lord, my cousin's request is also my request. If you don't want to divorce, either let Lu Ankang be raised on the farm forever and never enter the Marquis's Mansion. Or let Yan'er take the position of the Crown Prince and never change it!"

Shen Ruoyan's eyes were firm, without the slightest hesitation or retreat, "Otherwise, you and I will be divorced!"

This benefit cannot be taken by Lu Jing alone.

After all this effort, does he think that he can get away with just a few sweet words?

Qin Shaobei also expressed his opinion, "My Lord, you don't have to worry about whether there will be anyone who wants Ah Yan after the divorce. Whether it is the Shen family or my Qin family, we can support her for the rest of her life!"

As he spoke, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly and added meaningfully: "By the way, including Yan'er."

The Lu family disliked Lu Yan for becoming mute and even wanted to deprive him of his position as crown prince.

But Lu Yan is the treasure of their Qin family and Shen family. If Lu Jing is stubborn, he doesn't mind taking his sister and Yan'er back together!

When the time comes, he will want to see who is the one who cannot stand on his feet.

"You guys, let me think about it."

Lu Jing was not as excited as before. After calming down, he knew that this matter could not be fooled by just talking.

The main reason was that he really didn't expect that someone would come to Shen Ruoyan's house at this critical moment. Xuzhou is so far away from Shengjing, and he didn't know how he got there by chance!

Shen Ruoyan smiled slightly, "No hurry, Lord Marquis, please think about it carefully."

She sent someone to bring tea to Qin Shaobei. Her cousin had been here for such a long time, but he was busy arguing with Lu Jing. His mouth was almost dry from talking, and he didn't even have time to drink a sip of hot tea.

Shen Ruoyan personally made tea for Qin Shaobei. She was an expert at making tea. Qin Shaobei smelled the fragrance of the tea with satisfaction, and all the fatigue he had along the way was swept away at this moment.

Compared to the two people's comfort, Lu Jing was in a state of anxiety. He thought about it over and over again, but he couldn't come up with any solution except making himself more and more irritated.

In the end, Shen Ruoyan couldn't bear it any longer, "My Lord, if you can't make up your mind, you can ask your grandmother. After all, Brother Kang is also her grandson..."

Yes! Why didn't I think of that?

Lu Jing is not ashamed of not having his own opinion, but proud of it. He can even ask his grandmother for help!

Lu Jing hurriedly went to discuss with Madam Lu. Qin Shaobei sneered and blurted out the question that had been lingering in his mind for many years, "How did you fall in love with him back then?"

[I don’t know either…]

Shen Ruoyan smiled awkwardly, "Maybe, it's a good color."

Qin Shaobei nodded thoughtfully, "He only has that face."

At this time, Lu Jing, who only relied on his looks, hurried and finally came to the old lady.

"Grandma, Qin Shaobei is here!"

As soon as Lu Jing came in, he told everything in a flash. Especially Qin Shaobei's arrogant attitude, which made him extremely angry!

"He relies on his status as a juren, and now he doesn't even take me seriously. He even threatened me, saying that if I dare to divorce him, he will file a complaint with the emperor. He is simply a lunatic!"

Who would go to the emperor to file a complaint for no reason?

Does Qin Shaobei think this is something fun?

But Lu Jing didn't dare to act rashly, because he was worried that Qin Shaobei could really do such a thing.

Old Madam Lu was upset. Qin Shaobei's coming to Beijing at this time was definitely not a good thing for them. Moreover, Qin Shaobei passed the imperial examination and would soon take part in the spring examination. If he was on the list, they could not offend him easily.

Originally, Shen Ruoyan had already told you that Qin Shaobei was coming.

At that time, Old Madam Lu was still thinking about making proper arrangements and winning over Qin Shaobei's connections so that he could become a helper to the Lu family in the future.

Who would have known that as soon as Qin Shaobei arrived, he would hear Lu Jing talking about divorcing his wife. Who could feel at peace in that situation?

"Jing'er, you were impulsive in this matter." Madam Lu sighed. At this point, there was nothing she could do. "If you hadn't said you wanted to divorce me, there would still be room for negotiation. But since you said these two words, we have no choice but to be controlled."

Qin Shaobei is Shen Ruoyan's family member. How could he possibly endure this after hearing that his sister had a concubine and was threatened with divorce?

Not allowing the concubine to enter the house is to protect Shen Ruoyan's status.

The reason for not changing the crown prince was to protect Lu Yan.

It all depends on how the Lu family chooses.

"But grandma, Qin Shaobei's request is too much!" Brother Kang is his only healthy son, and he will not be able to have children in the future. If he doesn't let Brother Kang marry into the family, then wouldn't he have no successor?

And if they don't change the rule to appoint a crown prince, Lu Yan has become mute. If he is the crown prince, what future does the Marquisate have?

"Jing'er, don't panic."

Mrs. Lu's voice was soothing, and Lu Jing slowly calmed down. He looked at his grandmother, a woman who had experienced many hardships, and now showed unprecedented calmness and self-confidence.

"If you don't want to change the crown prince, then don't change the crown prince." Old Madam Lu smiled, but this smile made people feel very nervous.

"Anyway, the Crown Prince was appointed by the Emperor. If we apply for a change, it will be troublesome."

Lu Jing was puzzled. In his grandmother's heart, the Marquis' Mansion was the first priority. How could she agree?

"But grandma, if this happens, won't a mute inherit the mansion in the future?"

Madam Lu's smile did not diminish. She knew very well what the Shen family was planning. They just wanted to protect Shen Ruoyan and her son's status in this mansion.

They just won’t touch the position of the Crown Prince.

But, can Lu Yan really hold his position firmly?

"Jing'er, listen to what grandma said. Agree with them first and never change the crown prince. That way, when the storm has passed, you can bring Brother Kang back to the mansion."

If he agreed not to let the concubine into the house, then Brother Kang would never be able to return to the Marquis' Mansion.

At that time, the Marquis' Mansion was truly hopeless!

As for not changing the crown prince... Madam Lu's cloudy eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she spoke slowly, word by word:

"Don't worry, even if we don't change the crown prince, the position of crown prince will eventually belong to Kang Ge..."

She would never let a mute inherit the Marquis's Mansion!
