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

"Marquis Changning? How could that be?"

Marquis Changning, that’s a family of military generals!

Although this year's Marquis of Changning was not very ambitious, had never been to the battlefield and had no military merits, he at least managed to get into the Fenglin Guard. No matter how you look at it, he has nothing to do with these scholars.

Would Marquis Changning be so kind?

"I remember now, isn't the wife of Marquis Changning the granddaughter of Elder Shen, Shen Ruoyan?!"

When Shen Ruoyan reached the age of marriage, the threshold of the Shen Mansion was almost broken down by people! However, she exceeded everyone's expectations and insisted on marrying Lu Jing, which is still a source of regret for many people.

"No wonder Marquis Changning would do such a kind thing. It turns out that he loves his wife and his dog!"

"Yes, isn't Mr. Qin the cousin of Marquis Changning's wife? What he said must be correct!"

Qin Shaobei smiled and greeted everyone, "You are all the future pillars of the court. The Marquis is doing this in the hope of contributing to the court."

He followed Shen Ruoyan's instructions and pushed all the credit to Lu Jing. In particular, he had to put Lu Jing as high as possible. Qin Shaobei could easily say that Lu Jing shared the worries of the court and devoted himself to the emperor!

The fastest message comes from the mouth of a scholar.

Before long, even the palace heard about this matter.

I heard that the emperor even praised Lu Jing at the morning court, asking other military officers to follow suit and not blindly reject civil officials. Peaceful coexistence is truly for the sake of prosperity and the people.

All of a sudden, Lu Jing became a role model for connecting civil and military officials.

The old foxes in the court sensed other auras from this and kept their troops on hold, wanting to see what the emperor was up to.

But Lu Jing couldn't understand all these twists and turns. He only knew that he was praised by the emperor. After returning home that day, he went straight to Shen Ruoyan.

"Madam! Madam!"

Lu Jing came in from outside in high spirits. Shen Ruoyan was arranging flowers. Seeing that he did not stop, she continued to trim the branches in her hands.

"What makes the Marquis so happy?" Shen Ruoyan's eyebrows curved and she also showed joy.

As soon as Lu Jing opened his mouth, he couldn't help laughing, "The Emperor praised me today! He said that I am a model for military officers and asked others to learn from me!"

He leaned closer and said, "I heard that it was my cousin who spread my good name outside. I must thank my cousin in person someday!"

Qin Shaobei said he had something to do recently and went out, so when Lu Jing came back, he didn't see him.

Otherwise, he would definitely open a jar of good wine and have a good drink with his cousin!

"My cousin is just speaking the truth. My Lord, you don't have to take it to heart." Shen Ruoyan smiled faintly and didn't care.

"How can that be?" Lu Jing obviously did not think this was a trivial matter. Qin Shaobei was quite famous among the scholars. If he hadn't said it himself, how could those scholars who were so arrogant believe it?

But, ultimately, it was all thanks to the fact that he married a good wife.

"Madam, I know everything. You bought the inn, but you let your cousin tell others that it was me who did it." Lu Jing was very moved. He didn't expect Shen Ruoyan to do so much for him. Now when he walked outside, he wished he had two faces -

One is for viewing, and the other is for showing off!

"With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for?" Lu Jing sighed sincerely.

Shen Ruoyan burst out laughing, she really couldn't help it, "My Lord, you are too kind."

She just wanted to use this inn to make connections. Among these candidates, there might be future heroes. Even if they are not the top ones, they will be distributed all over the place and they are all invisible connections.

As for Lu Jing, he was just a by-product.

The Changning Marquisate has a bad reputation. It's already good enough that Lu Jing doesn't make its reputation worse just by working hard on his own.

It would be extremely difficult to go to the next level.

Since the son will inherit his father's business in the future, the Changning Marquisate cannot fall into Lu Jing's hands.

So to the outside world, Lu Jing's personal reputation can be ruined, but when it comes to the entire Marquis' Mansion, Shen Ruoyan still has to make more plans.

Besides, not all of this is a good thing.

The higher you climb, the harder you fall. Now Lu Jing can only see the emperor's praise and hear the thanks from the scholars, but he doesn't know that he has become a prominent figure among the military generals and may have been targeted by others.

The conflicts between the civil and military officials of Da Sheng cannot be resolved with just a few words.

Even wealthy families and poor families were involved.

It seems calm, but in fact there are undercurrents.

"No, Madam, this is all thanks to you!" Lu Jing has already determined that Shen Ruoyan is the virtuous wife mentioned in the book. Since marrying her, his status outside has been rising.

He didn’t understand the benefits of fame, wealth and status before, but after meeting the Shen family, a scholarly family, Lu Jing realized the beauty of them.

Fortunately, he did not act young and frivolous and really leave with Fang Rou. Instead, he chose the Marquis' Mansion and came back to marry Shen Ruoyan.

Now, he finally understood his grandmother's painstaking efforts...

Shen Ruoyan didn't know that just this little sweetness made Lu Jing realize so many great truths in life.

But now that Lu Jing was praised by the emperor himself, he was indeed a little high-profile. So she warned him, "My Lord, just remember that you did it. No matter what others say, don't change your attitude."

It’s done, and all that’s left is persistence.

The emperor doesn't like fence-sitters. Being stubborn can make him feel at ease.

"Madam, do you mean that I should not be ambiguous?" When some military officers came to inquire today, Lu Jing did not say much because he was worried about offending everyone. He just said a few vague words and passed them on.

He originally wanted to play dumb in front of his former colleagues. If that didn't work, he would just put the blame on Shen Ruoyan.

Now the lady says no?

Why is this?

Shen Ruoyan said, "My Lord, you don't know that what scholars hate most is people who are not firm in their stance. When my cousin was able to win the debate with so many people, it was his unyielding will that made people admire him."

There is no such thing as having the best of both worlds in the world. Lu Jing must make his position clear on this matter.

Otherwise, it will be disdainful.

"So, my Lord, since you have already stood up for the poor boy, you must not run away. Otherwise, the emperor's praise will become a joke!"

If the consequences of the matter are not exaggerated, Lu Jing will not feel afraid.

Sure enough, after bringing up the emperor, he became serious. "Madam, rest assured, I will stand firm!"

He has tasted the sweetness. In the past, he was mocked for his lack of strength by the military officers. Now that he has finally made a name for himself, what's the harm even if he offends them? !

Shen Ruoyan nodded and said with a smile: "I believe that you can do it well, Lord!"

Anyway, her arrangements are in place, as long as Lu Jing doesn't hold her back.

The thick palace walls buried her past and hatred. One day, she would return openly and let the hypocritical mother and son get the retribution they deserved!
