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

"Okay, it's just a small matter, why belittle yourself?"

Lu Jing felt guilty, and when he looked at Fang Rou, his eyes softened a little.

Fang Rou saw his reaction and felt even more disdainful in her heart.

Sure enough, what you can’t get is the best!

When she begged Lu Jing humbly and desperately, he thought she was ignorant and did not consider the overall situation.

He would rather go to other women than comfort her more.

But when she grabbed hold of her dignity and returned to her former self in front of him, he began to care.

If you don’t love yourself, everyone will abandon you!

Fang Rou had given up everything in front of Lu Jing before, but he didn't show her any sympathy. Now she was willful and arrogant, which made Lu Jing pay attention to her.

Liu Lu never expected that she could be defeated by Fang Rou in her own yard!

Her eyes fell on Xiaolan next to her, and she suddenly had an idea, "Madam Fang may not understand that women like us who come from humble backgrounds always repay a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude."

She coughed a few times and said weakly, "My Lord, Aunt Fang may be used to seeing good things and look down on these rewards from Madam. But my sister and I depend on each other for survival, and this is the first time I have seen a sachet of such craftsmanship."

Lu Jing was greatly shocked. He didn't expect that Liu Lu and Zhu Hong had lived such a difficult life before!

But he suddenly became confused again, "But, isn't Jingrongfang right next to Qingsongyuan?"

Moreover, he had heard that the women in Qingsong Garden were all extremely talented and could get a lot of rewards just by playing the piano or singing a song.

Even though Liulu and Zhuhong are not top stars, they are also well-known figures. They shouldn't be living such a miserable life, right?

Hearing this, Liu Lu suddenly burst into tears: "My Lord, you don't know that although my sister and I earned some money, it was all taken away by Nanny."

She cried softly about her miserable experience in Qingsong Garden. Not only did she have to play the piano day and night to earn money, but the old maid in the garden also deducted her food. Every night, she would be tortured by hunger and unable to sleep...

Lu Jing suddenly realized, "No wonder your waist is so thin, it turns out you're hungry!"

Liu Lu gritted her teeth and stared hard to prevent herself from laughing out loud!

Especially Lu Jing's serious look—he actually believed it!

The women of Qingsong Garden do have a hard life, because they study hard to learn talents.

In order to ensure that they would have a good place to live in the future, the maids would not let them do any heavy work. There were people to serve them in terms of clothing, living and transportation, just like the young ladies of wealthy families.

As for Jingrongfang...the sachets there were indeed the first time she had seen them.

Because I had custom-made clothes there before, it would be a bit ambiguous to give a sachet as a gift to someone, so I kept it for myself. Qingsongyuan has prepared sachets for the girls, and they are different every season.

Why should she waste the money?

However, even if Lu Jing was smart enough to go to Qingsong Garden to verify what she had made up, the maids would definitely continue to follow her lies.

Even if the maids have to take the blame.

After all, these were the lessons the maids had given them when they were receiving instruction.

Whatever background your future husband would like, just make one up. Qingsongyuan will always be there for them!

Otherwise, why can all those who leave Qingsongyuan become concubines and noble ladies?

This method of competing for favor is commonplace for them...

When Fang Rou saw Lu Jing's expression of pity, she felt mixed emotions.

How can it be so easy to let go of a relationship that has lasted for so many years?

Seeing him fall in love with another woman, I can't help but feel jealous.

But compared to this, Liu Lu made her look at her with new eyes.

I originally thought that this was an impulsive and brainless woman. Without her sister to counsel her, she would definitely be provoked and lose her composure soon.

I didn't expect that I underestimated her!

"Madam is here!"

Suddenly there was a notification sound outside, and Fang Rou's eyes flashed with a trace of panic, but she quickly calmed down.

Liu Lu showed a proud expression and followed Lu Jing forward, "Meet the Madam."

When Lu Jing saw Shen Ruoyan, he was confused, "Madam, why are you here too?"

This little courtyard is really lively today.

"I asked Xiaolan to send a sachet, but I didn't expect she hasn't come back for so long. I happened to be going to Yan'er's place, so I came to visit."

"I see." Lu Jing didn't think much about it, but Shen Ruoyan saw some interest.

"Xiao Lan, what took you so long? The master's sachet is broken, and he asked you to go and change it!"

Shen Ruoyan was slightly angry, and Xiaolan immediately knelt down, "Madam, calm down. It's not that I'm lazy, but when I sent it to Madam Liu, Madam Fang happened to come over."

She raised her head, looked at Fang Rou tremblingly, and then kowtowed to the ground: "But Aunt Fang didn't like Madam's sachet and didn't want it. That's why I wasted my time!"

"How dare you! What nonsense are you talking about?"

Fang Rou did feel that these were small favors from Shen Ruoyan, and it was because of her willfulness that she allowed Lu Jing to find her former self.

But doing it behind someone's back is one thing, saying it to someone's face is another thing entirely!

Xiaoyue didn't raise her head, she was terrified, "I am a stupid servant, please calm down, Auntie!"

"That's all. She's just a little maid. Why would Aunt Fang bother with her?"

Shen Ruoyan glanced at her gently, not even angry, "How can a maid control the master? Naturally, we should do whatever the master says. Aunt Fang should understand this very well, right?"

She did not hide anything and directly pointed out the fact that Aunt Fang had also worked as a maid in the mansion before.

So that Fang Rou would remember that she was a maid who climbed into the bed, and in order to cover up the shame, she was admitted into the marquis' mansion as a good girl.

Rather than being the mistress who had been having an affair with Lu Jing without any matchmaker before entering the mansion...

Lu Jing knew that Fang Rou's identity was a thorn in his and Shen Ruoyan's hearts.

I originally wanted to say a few words for Fang Rou, but after hearing the implication of Shen Ruoyan's words, I chose to shut up.

Qin Shaobei is still in Shengjing!

I heard that he went out today and met up with some talented scholars. I can't let him catch me at this time.

"Madam, you are too kind. It's just that what this maid said is inconsistent with the facts, so I couldn't help but speak."

"Oh?" Shen Ruoyan obviously didn't believe it. When she looked at Lu Jing, the other party avoided her sight guiltily.

Fang Rou continued fearlessly, "Madam is of noble birth, and everything she throws away is good stuff. If this sachet were placed in an ordinary family, it could cover a month's expenses. I am just expressing my feelings."

She also looked at Lu Jing, hoping to see recognition of herself in his eyes.

Didn't Lu Jing say this before? Shen Ruoyan was born into a good family, so she ate and used the best things and didn't know how to save money.

The Marquis' Mansion doesn't have much wealth, how can it afford her spending like this?

So even though she offended Shen Ruoyan, Lu Jing must have felt that she hit the nail on the head!

But to Fang Rou's disappointment, Lu Jing just looked into the distance in silence without responding.

Shen Ruoyan smiled instead of getting angry, "Since Aunt Fang thinks I'm extravagant, let's just keep things simple from now on! Chunxi, take the things back, you can still get a few taels of silver if you sell them!"

Liu Lu was left with nothing in her hands. The scent sachet she had just received suddenly flew away. Even the scent sachet that Lu Jing had hung on his side was pulled down by Shen Ruoyan:

"My Lord, since you are the master of the Marquis' Mansion, you should set an example yourself. Otherwise, you will be criticized!"

After that, he instructed Chunxi, "Go, tell the kitchen that you don't need to prepare supper for the Marquis later. Eating too much at night is not good for your health. The Marquis must take care of his health in the future."

Chun Xi suppressed her laughter and responded, "Yes, Madam, I will definitely talk to the kitchen."

Lu Jing was disheveled in the wind. No, his midnight snack was just a pot of wine. How much did it cost? !
