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

Shen Ruoyan did not hide what Lu Yan and Lu Changchuan encountered at the Imperial Academy.

"The implications of Prince Shun's mansion's move are unclear. My Lord, you must be on guard." After Lu Jing came back, Shen Ruoyan instructed him.

Now Lu Jing obeyed Shen Ruoyan's orders, mainly because the last incident with Eunuch Liu had a huge impact on him. He realized that it would be impossible for the harem to be without a knowledgeable woman.

So he readily agreed, "Don't worry, Madam. I will be careful."

Shen Ruoyan smelled something unusual from the actions of Prince Shun's mansion. In the past, after talking to Lu Jing, she would definitely find an excuse to urge him to leave quickly, but today, she made an exception and asked him to sit down and drink tea.

"Did you find anything unusual while on duty recently?"

Lu Jing has now entered the palace. Although he is also on patrol duty, he has the opportunity to be in front of the emperor. This is also the reason why many people want to join the Fenglin Guard.

Eunuch Liu was just a eunuch, but because he was the emperor's close attendant, even the favorite concubines in the palace did not dare to act pretentiously in front of him.

As long as you can catch the emperor's eye and gain his trust, you will be second only to him and above everyone else. Who wouldn't be tempted?

When Lu Jing joined Fenglin Guard, there were countless people who were jealous behind his back. Lu Jing was so excited that he couldn't even sleep well. His mind was full of thoughts that he was about to become a popular person in front of the emperor and call the wind and rain!

Unfortunately, reality was like a sudden rainstorm, hitting him hard.

Although he joined the Fenglin Guard, no one dared to assign him important tasks because of his poor martial arts and physical strength. But because he was appointed by the emperor, others did not dare to cause trouble for him.

In this way, Lu Jing became the only distinguished idler in Fenglinwei.

The place he patrolled every day was inside the palace. Because he was worried that even if an assassin lurked in from outside, he would not be able to stop him, so Lu Jing never even went to the important checkpoints.

His daily patrols were either to check on the flowers in the imperial garden or to help some palace master find cats and dogs. Anyway, all the chores fell on his head. It was not onerous and did not require any force, so it was quite leisurely.

Others looked down on him, but Lu Jing himself had a very positive attitude. When Shen Ruoyan asked him about it, he pretended to be serious and recalled, "Today, the wall of Qinghui Pavilion fell off. I discovered the hidden danger in time and reported it. Oh, and the weeds on the east side affected the appearance, so I also reported it..."

He thought for a long time and all he said were unimportant little things.

It was a far cry from what Shen Ruoyan wanted.

However, Shen Ruoyan was not impatient, but listened carefully to everything. She even asked Lu Jing to repeat what she did not hear clearly, and took it very seriously.

This greatly satisfied Lu Jing's desire to share. Others might not care about these little things, but the safety of the imperial palace, which one is not closely related to these things?

Therefore, he never underestimated himself, but felt that the things he did were also very important. Others did not understand because their realm had not reached his level, otherwise, why were they not praised by the emperor?

Lu Jing shared his thoughts with Shen Ruoyan, and then looked at her expectantly.

Madam, you are listening so attentively, you must think I am amazing, right?

Shen Ruoyan's expression was a little complicated, but Lu Jing looked like this, as if any disdain from her would seriously undermine his self-confidence.

Forget it, do one good deed a day.

"Your Majesty is indeed wise but appears foolish. No wonder the Emperor values ​​you so much." Her eyes were gentle and full of affirmative power. "Your Majesty must continue to persevere so that those people will look at you with new eyes and regret it."

"Of course!" Lu Jing almost patted his chest to guarantee his ambitions. To him, having support and having no support were two completely different mentalities.

When I was fighting alone, I relied purely on brainwashing myself.

Anyway, he has been suppressed and educated by the old lady in the Marquis' Mansion for so many years and has never been recognized. He has become accustomed to it.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have immersed himself in Fang Rou's gentle embrace.

And now, there is another person who recognizes him, Shen Ruoyan. Compared with Fang Rou, Shen Ruoyan has a good family background and broad knowledge. For Lu Jing, being able to get her affirmation is truly satisfying.

Therefore, he is now very motivated and feels that the palace cannot function without him!

Shen Ruoyan smiled and asked, "Hasn't Qinghui Pavilion just been renovated? How come the wall is peeling off?"

She pretended to be confused, but Lu Jing replied directly: "It's not just one piece, there are a lot of them! Yes, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. That place was just renovated, how could there be so much wall plaster left?"

He was careless and had no idea how strange it was that Shen Ruoyan, as the mistress of the rear house, knew so much about Qinghui Pavilion.

Although he was a little surprised, Lu Jing felt that Shen Ruoyan was worthy of being the legitimate daughter of the Shen family. She had broad knowledge and even knew the inside story of the imperial palace!

"Maybe those workers cut corners. Yes, I have to report this matter!" Lu Jing muttered to himself, frowning, as if he really thought this was a very big deal.

Shen Ruoyan looked at him quietly, without even having the chance to utter the explanation she had prepared.

She laughed silently. Fortunately, Lu Jing did not inherit the mantle of Marquis Changning. If he had gone to the battlefield, Dasheng would have been in danger...

Lu Jing was worried about something, so after leaving Shen Ruoyan, he went to the study alone and did not go to any of the concubines' courtyards.

Fang Rou heard the news that he had returned home early and had been waiting in the house.

However, she waited from the time the sun set to the time the moon hung over the window, but she did not see Lu Jing.

"Auntie, the Marquis went to the mistress's place as soon as he came back. I'm afraid he won't come tonight." Xiao Tao felt a little reluctant, but all the concubines in the mansion were like this. There was only one Marquis, but there were many concubines, so naturally there was not enough to go around.

Now there is another mistress, which is even more worrying.

"Why is he staying at Shen Ruoyan's place?" Fang Rou was a little puzzled. "Hasn't Shen Ruoyan and him stayed together for a long time?"

Women are the most accurate in judging other women. Shen Ruoyan may have been deeply in love with Lu Jing before, but after Fang Rou entered the mansion, she felt that Shen Ruoyan's heart was dead.

She did not feel Shen Ruoyan's deep love and persistence for Lu Jing. On the contrary, she often deliberately provoked Shen Ruoyan, and felt that this mistress was too calm.

But now, why did Shen Ruoyan start to attack?

Could it be that her old feelings for Lu Jing have rekindled?

No, Fang Rou quickly denied this conjecture in her heart. Because if it was to win back Lu Jing, Shen Ruoyan would not have taken action until now.

She had had countless chances before, but she let them go.

Could it be for the prince? !

That’s right! It must be because of Lu Yan! If she wants her son to secure the position of the crown prince, doesn’t she have to please Lu Jing? !

Fang Rou felt that she had discovered the truth. Shen Ruoyan would indeed not let Lu Yan give up the position of Crown Prince, but that position belonged to her son, Brother Kang!

She would never let her succeed!
