"Shut up!"

The old lady Lu knew something was wrong after hearing one sentence. She immediately ordered the children to be taken away and the entire mansion to be sealed off, and no one was allowed to leave.

"Grandmother, you have to make the decision for me!" Shen Ruoyan saw her coming in and hurriedly came forward crying, "The Marquis and his men are making such a fuss, and the gentlemen have seen it. As the mistress, I'd rather die!"

It was normal for ordinary families to have concubines and maids. But it was too embarrassing to have a fight with an unknown woman in the study and be caught by outsiders!

Madam Lu was very disappointed with her grandson, and she knew in her heart that it was her grandson's fault. But she took a few steps forward and slapped Fang Rou hard:

"You bitch! I let you stay in the Marquis' Mansion because you have a pitiful life. Who knew you would have such dirty thoughts and actually seduce the master?"

As soon as these words came out, the blame was firmly placed on Fang Rou, and Lu Jing was picked out. He was just a man seduced by a lowly maid, what was his fault?

As for Fang Rou, according to the rules of the Marquis' Mansion, a maid with dirty thoughts like this will be sold out directly to a man!

"Grandma, it's not like that. It has nothing to do with Rouer!"

How could Lu Jing watch his woman being punished? He couldn't help himself. He hadn't seen Fang Rou for a long time, so he couldn't help himself and started making trouble in the study.

But he clearly remembered that he had left someone outside, so many people came in, was that servant blind? !

But now is not the time to pursue this. Lu Jing obviously understands his grandmother's methods and defends himself: "It's all my fault. Fang Rou... Fang Rou was forced by me!"

Fang Rou looked at him with tears in her eyes, "My Lord..."

Madam Lu almost fainted from breathing. How could she have gotten such a terrible thing?

"Asshole! You are a marquis, don't forget your status!" This evil creature always does stupid things for such a woman. She wanted to send Fang Rou away at first, but was stopped by Lu Jing.

He said that his son could not live without his biological mother, so he wanted to keep Fang Rou.

Later, she asked him to keep Fang Rou outside as a plaything. He insisted that Fang Rou had been with him for so many years, and even if she was a concubine, he had to give Fang Rou a legitimate status and bring her into the mansion!

She arranged everything for this, allowing her to come in with the help of Nanny Xue, so that she could find a suitable opportunity in the future to be promoted from a maid to a concubine. On the one hand, this saved Shen Ruoyan's face and did not offend the Shen family. On the other hand, it also satisfied Lu Jing's wish.

But who would have thought that Fang Rou was so impatient and could not even wait this little bit of time!

After staying in the rear house for so many years, what Mrs. Lu least believed in was the word "coincidence".

How could it be such a coincidence? It's just that some people want to get promoted early...

Lu Jing knelt on the ground and begged Fang Rou, "Grandma, I fell in love with Fang Rou at first sight, please grant me your blessing!"

Tsk tsk, I never thought that even though Lu Jing was so philandering, he still had a lover. It is said that a husband is the heaven of his wife. Look at Fang Rou's shining eyes. Maybe in her heart, Lu Jing is her heaven now?

It’s a pity that this sky does not belong to Shen Ruoyan.

Madam Lu was speechless. Now that things had come to this, she had to give an explanation.

"Ruoyan, you are now the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, so I'll leave this matter to you." As if she felt that this was a bit ruthless, she comforted him, "Don't worry, Grandmother knows all your grievances. In the future, I will definitely restrain Lu Jing and make him apologize to you."

"Just kill him with a stick."

Shen Ruoyan's light words shocked everyone in the audience.

Even the old lady was a little surprised and looked at her. Lu Jing was even more excited, pointing at her nose and scolding: "You vicious woman! I knew that you would not tolerate Rou'er, but I didn't expect you to be so cruel and actually want her life!"

"My Lord, you are wrong." Shen Ruoyan's eyes were cold, and in the eyes of outsiders, it was like there was nothing more sad than a dead heart. Considering how much Shen Ruoyan loved Lu Jing before, it was normal for her to have such a reaction after such a shock.

The Marquis really went too far this time, and did not give the mistress of the house any face at all!

So, when Shen Ruoyan said, "I don't mind if the Marquis's mansion prospers together and suffers together, but there is a young man preparing to take the imperial examination and a young lady waiting to get married in the Marquis' mansion. If this matter gets out, I'm afraid it will become a laughing stock in Shengjing City."

She looked at Fang Rou coldly, as if she was looking at a dead object. "Since there is a stain, then erase it. If someone brings it up in the future, it will just be a girl who failed to climb into bed and was punished."

"By then, outsiders will only say that my mansion is strict in family management. What do you think, grandmother?"

I think?

Madam Lu was stumped by the question. She valued the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion the most, so she naturally thought this was the best! Unexpectedly, Shen Ruoyan seemed weak and unable to take care of herself, but she still had some brains in such a big matter. She was worthy of being the mistress.

But the bad thing is that her useless grandson.

"I won't allow it! The reputation of the Marquis' Mansion is all false! Don't even think about using this excuse to stop Rou'er from coming in!" It must be said that Lu Jing is a bit in love.

Seeing this, Shen Ruoyan lowered her head sadly, "If the Marquis insists on doing this, I have nothing to say."

She turned and left, but perhaps because of the emotional blow, she staggered a few steps when she went out. Fortunately, Chunxi, who was beside her, supported her and she did not fall.

Lu Jing frowned, feeling a little strange. But the next second, he chose to help Fang Rou up first, "Don't worry, it's okay. As long as I'm here, no one can touch you!"

Madam Lu sighed deeply, "Forget it, I'm old and can't control you anymore. If you want to take her as a concubine, it's up to you. But you have to appease Ruoyan."

Fang Rou lowered her head and dared not speak, but her eyes were filled with turbulent emotions.

Madam Lu glanced at Lu Jing meaningfully, "Don't forget, the Shen family is behind her."

Lu Jing clenched his fists tightly. It was the Shen family again!

This kind of upright family always talks about etiquette and rules, and the civil officials are in power, so the whole world buys into their talk, which makes it very difficult to deal with them!

"I see."

Madam Lu felt that Shen Ruoyan's words just now were sensible and for the sake of the reputation of the Marquisate, but Lu Jing felt that Shen Ruoyan was using the name of righteousness to try to take Fang Rou's life!

Therefore, he not only wanted to take Fang Rou as his concubine, but also wanted to take her as his noble concubine!

Only in this way can she survive under Shen Ruoyan's hands!

Lu Jing was worried about Fang Rou, and was just waiting for the old lady to nod her approval, so that Fang Rou could enter the house as a concubine. At that time, whether Shen Ruoyan was willing or not, as the mistress, she had no reason to stop her husband from taking a concubine.

Even the Shen family couldn't find fault with it.

Lu Jing had a good idea, but who knew that someone would send him a pillow when he was sleepy. Before he could convince his grandmother, rumors about the Marquis' Mansion spread everywhere - although it was his scandal, it was all directed at Shen Ruoyan!
