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

The news of Lu Jing's reward soon spread to everyone.

Shen Ruoyan asked him to keep a low profile during this period and try not to go out for socializing. Although Lu Jing couldn't help wanting to go out and show off, he still listened to his wife and refused to see visitors at home on the grounds of being unwell.

Anyway, I used this excuse last time about the plaster.

It won’t be awkward to use it again.

It's just that he hid, but others couldn't.

"Lu Yan, my father said that the emperor likes your family very much recently, and you will be successful soon!" This is a brainless boy, the great-grandson of the Minister of Justice, the only child in the family, who has been raised in the palm of his hand since childhood.

He never thinks before speaking. He is totally different from his cautious grandfather who would spend a long time pondering over every word.

"Hmph, it's just a casual gift, what's the big deal, you ignorant bumpkin!" The one who spoke was Song Xian, the young master of Prince Shun's Mansion. He never had a good face towards people from Marquis Changning's Mansion.

Even though the untouchable who beat him last time was dead, everyone in the Changning Marquis Mansion hated him just as much.

He hasn't vented enough!

Lu Changchuan couldn't help himself and was about to speak, but was grabbed by Lu Yan who was standing beside him. Lu Yan shook his head at him, signaling him not to cause trouble.

After all, he is still a child, and Lu Changchuan's thoughts are written on his face. His unhappiness suddenly aroused Song Xian's interest.

"Is what I said wrong? The Imperial Uncle is just giving you some silver out of pity. Don't act like a spoiled brat. If the Imperial Uncle finds out, you will be in big trouble!"

Lu Changchuan paused and secretly wrote on the paper, "What he wants to say is not that he is arrogant because of his favor, right?"

Lu Yan nodded, that was exactly what he meant.

Most of the students who entered the Imperial College had real talent. But there were also many people like Song Xian who entered by virtue of their status. They were not afraid of being laughed at by the people if they told others that the young prince of Prince Shun's mansion could not even read a single word!

It is said that after the emperor knew about it, he praised him for his childlike nature and true character.

So Prince Shun just left it alone and let him learn whatever he wanted here, as long as he could gain a reputation.

"Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness. We have made note of it." Lu Yan wrote the words on the paper, and Lu Changchuan imitated his style, reading them out word by word.

Because Lu Yan cannot speak, whenever he wants to express something, Lu Changchuan will help him in this way.

"Hmph, just remember it!"

Song Xian was in a bad mood. Although he was overbearing, there was nothing wrong with Lu Yan's attitude. His lackey was not as impulsive as before today. He really couldn't find a place to start.

So after school, I left in a bad mood.

Those who serve him will be in trouble again.

"Prince, won't you be angry when you hear those words? Why don't you let me explain it to him clearly?" On the way home, Lu Changchuan asked after holding it in for a while.

He is not the kind of person who can keep things to himself, especially in front of Lu Yan.

"Don't pay any attention to what others say." They are all people who go with the crowd. They just do whatever others say and have no opinions of their own. It is useless to explain to them a hundred times.

Because they don't know how to judge for themselves.

The Changning Marquis Mansion is currently in its heyday. My mother said that at this time, there must be a lot of people watching them.

Lu Yan was still young and didn’t know that this was a signal sent by the emperor.

At this time, the attitude towards Changning Marquis' Mansion was actually a test.

What he knows is not to stir up trouble at this time. When you stand high, even the right thing will become the wrong thing.

He kept his mother's words in mind. So even if Song Xian provoked him today, Lu Yan didn't take it to heart - what he said was not true, and after a long time, there would be a proof, so why should he waste his breath?

Lu Changchuan was confused and didn't quite understand.

But he knew that there were many people who wanted to find fault with them, so at this time, they had to be obedient and not cause trouble.

The two of them returned to the Marquis' Mansion together. Shen Ruoyan had someone prepare a table of food early in the morning and was waiting for the two children to come back.

"How was the school today?"

Chunxi was setting the dishes nearby. Shen Ruoyan smiled and replaced the dish with a sweet and sour short ribs. "Yan'er, you don't like sour food. I've added more sugar to this dish today. Try it."

Lu Yan's eyes lit up and he picked up a piece for himself.

It’s soft, tender and sweet in the mouth, without any sour taste!

"Changchuan, eat more too. This is the big pork elbow you wanted to eat yesterday. It's still hot." Shen Ruoyan smiled gently. Compared to a mother, she was more like an intimate older sister at this moment.

At this time every day, she would try her best to take time to spend time with her two children.

Although she was saddened by the emperor's betrayal in her previous life, after reflection, she also discovered many shortcomings.

Children need company, but she only knew how to support the emperor to ascend to the throne, but ignored his inner feelings.

She blindly used the emperor's requirements to restrain him, causing him to go from talking to her about everything to keeping a distance from her. Perhaps this was the reason why the mother and son later became estranged?

So this time, she will learn a lesson.

We need to educate children, but we also need to pay attention to their conditions. We cannot just impose our own vision on them, but should listen more to their own ideas.

Therefore, the rule of not talking while eating was never applied when there were only three of them.

"Mother, the young master of Prince Shun's mansion bullied us today!" Lu Changchuan complained while gnawing on a big pork elbow, "He said we were ignorant bumpkins, and he was so happy that he lost his mind when the emperor gave him some rewards!"

Shen Ruoyan looked at Lu Yan, "Yan'er, is this true?"

Lu Yan nodded and did not deny it.

"So how did you deal with the matter?" Shen Ruoyan asked patiently and softly.

Lu Yan took out the small notebook he carried with him and wrote slowly. Lu Changchuan's mouth was like a hooked arrow, and words came out quickly!

"I wanted to argue with him and tell him that the rumors he heard were not true. But the prince stopped me and told me not to bother with him, so I shut up. By the way, the prince also said that Song Xian was a man who came and went and told me not to bother with him."

Shen Ruoyan laughed, "Just following the crowd?"

Lu Changchuan clapped his hands and said, "That's exactly what I said!"

Shen Ruoyan touched his head, then looked at Lu Yan with appreciation: "Yan'er, you did a great job. It doesn't matter what others say, as long as you know it. The most important thing is that the Lu family is at the center of the storm right now, so it's not appropriate to cause trouble."

Especially Prince Shun’s Palace, which cannot be provoked at this time.

Prince Shun and the Emperor were tied together by default. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Emperor appreciated Lu Jing in order to promote the Changning Marquisate and balance the relationship between the civil and military officials.

Logically, even if Prince Shun had a feud with the Marquis' Mansion before, he should not have taken the initiative to cause trouble at this time.

Although Song Xian is young, he still holds the title of the Crown Prince of Shun’s Palace.

Is what he did really just a childish prank?

Or, is someone trying to test him through him?

No matter which one it was, Lu Yan's way of handling it was correct. Shen Ruoyan praised him a few more times, and Lu Changchuan was envious, but Lu Yan still ate the spareribs calmly, chewing slowly, and there was no sign of anything wrong.

But when he lowered his head, the red tips of his ears were so bright red that they looked like they were dripping blood...
