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

The incident of the Ninghou Prince, a student at the Imperial College, being beaten up spread to the streets the next day.

Teahouses and inns in Shengjing City have been talking about this incident these days. There is also a special storyteller who tells this story in a very shocking way, causing the audience to applaud continuously, and they don’t even have time to drink tea!

"Speaking of which, the young prince of Prince Shun's mansion is used to being domineering. Who is Prince Shun? He is the emperor's biological brother! So what if you are the prince of the Marquis' mansion? If he hit someone, then he hit him. Do you still expect the prince to apologize to you?"

The storyteller's narration was so detailed and vivid, as if he were there at the scene.

The people had no idea whether it was true or not, they just listened for fun.

The good thing about Shengjing City is that, because it values ​​culture over military affairs, speech is open, and it is not a crime for a storyteller to mention Prince Shun's name in this small teahouse.

This is the rule set by the previous emperor, and the emperor has no choice.

"Even the son of a noble family is being bullied like this. If we were ordinary people, I'm afraid we wouldn't even have a way to survive..."

"Who says it's not true... But this Prince Shun is indeed overbearing. He relies on being the emperor's younger brother and looks down on everyone. This Marquis Changning is also unlucky. Didn't he have a son who died before?"

"Yes, yes, although he is an adopted son, he is also a child registered under the name of his biological mother, and he was killed by Prince Shun's Mansion!"

There is no smoke without fire, and everyone has different versions of rumors. When the rumors spread in Shengjing City, Prince Shun's mansion was like the abyss of hell, which was terrifying!

Recently, when Lu Jing walks outside, he always has the illusion that everyone is laughing at him.

Even if a beggar passed by him, he felt that the beggar must feel sorry for him in his heart!

"Shen Ruoyan, look at what you have done!"

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Lu Jing got angry at Shen Ruoyan, "I asked you to apologize to the princess, but you refused to leave. Now everyone in the city is talking about this. It really makes the mansion lose face!"

Shen Ruoyan was calm and composed, not even turning around, "How does the Marquis know that it is the Marquis's Mansion that lost face, not the Prince's Mansion?"

She ordered tea nonchalantly, not affected by the disturbance outside at all, "If the Marquis feels ashamed, then he is ashamed. But I don't think so, so I can't empathize with the Marquis."

She turned around and gave a perfunctory salute, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, sir."

Lu Jing was so angry that smoke was coming out of his head. Shen Ruoyan! How dare she? !

"Can you please speak properly?" Lu Jing was speechless. Shen Ruoyan's attitude was simply trampling on him, the head of the family!

He was not taken seriously at all!

"I don't care. Go and apologize to the princess right now. Tell her that you were wrong and ask her not to take it seriously. If you continue like this, she won't accept your apology!" The rumors outside are so serious. What if the princess thinks that they did it on purpose? That would be disastrous!

Shen Ruoyan should apologize first and show the attitude of the Marquis' Mansion, so that he can clear his suspicion.

"I won't go. If the Marquis wants to go, then go by yourself." Shen Ruoyan was too lazy to get up from the chair she sat on, not even pretending to be nice. "Anyway, the Marquis is the head of the family. If you go, the effect will be better than if I do."

Chunxi looked at Shen Ruoyan worriedly. Is it really okay to mock the Marquis like this?

But, apparently her worries were unnecessary.

Because Lu Jing was actually considering the feasibility of this matter!

"I go and apologize?" It's not impossible. As long as the princess can calm down and stop causing trouble for their mansion, it seems that it will be fine no matter whether it's Shen Ruoyan or himself.

However, he was not present when this happened. I am afraid that even if I go, it will not satisfy the princess.

Then forget it.

"You should reflect on yourself. If you don't apologize, don't leave the house during this period of time!"

Lu Jing finally played the role of the head of the family and confined Shen Ruoyan. This was the first time in the history of the world, and everyone in the mansion was in a panic.

Fang Rou sent someone to inquire about the news, and after learning that Shen Ruoyan was really under house arrest, she felt very proud.

What about the mistress?

After all, men are the ones who call the shots in this mansion.

She now sees things clearly. Although she cannot get all of Lu Jing's love, she still wants to get Lu Jing as a person.

Only in this way can she and her brother Kang have hope and be reunited as a family.

After hearing this, Liu Lu did not express anything, but secretly told the people in her courtyard not to get too close to the people in the mistress' courtyard, so as not to be implicated.

It is also common to keep oneself safe.

Shen Ruoyan didn't take these to heart. This little thing didn't cause any ripples in her heart.

However, when I received Zhu Hong's message, I was a little surprised.

"Auntie asked if Madam is okay. If there is any need, she will do her best to help." Chunxi brought in Zhuhong's words. At this time when everyone was eager to add insult to injury, her attitude was like helping someone in need, which was very touching.

Shen Ruoyan was surprised for a moment, but just said, "Tell her everything is fine and don't worry about her."

Helping someone in need is certainly precious, but she and Zhuhong are not related at all. Shen Ruoyan asked herself if she had such ability to make Zhuhong grateful to her and loyal to her just by relying on their previous superficial friendship.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!

Chun Xi hesitated a little, "Madam, Auntie also has good intentions. Isn't it a bit strange to do this?"

It is said that a friend in need is a friend indeed. The news of the lady's house arrest had just spread, and the sisters who were usually on good terms with them seemed to have changed into different people. Not only were they mocking and ridiculing them, but some even spoke rudely to them in person.

Chun Xi thought she was a pretty easy-going person on weekdays, but she didn't expect that once she lost power, those people would be like tearing off the human skin masks on their faces, which was really hard to accept.

Therefore, she felt that people like Aunt Zhuhong were very rare.

The corners of Shen Ruoyan's mouth rose slightly. She played with the teacup in her hand. There was no tea in it anymore, but she could still smell the lingering fragrance of the tea.

"Chun Xi, if she is sincere, then I am doing her a favor by being distant from her now. If she is not sincere, then being distant from her is good for me. Do you understand?"

If you don't want to be bullied, don't think too highly of yourself.

There isn't so much sudden kindness in this world, and it's human nature to take advantage of others.

Chun Xi was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, she began to understand what Shen Ruoyan meant.

"Madam, I know this."

She hadn't considered the problem comprehensively enough, and she thought that she had been with the Madam for a long time and was considered an old man in the mansion. So many times, when Chunxi was thinking about things, she would take it for granted.

Thinking back on it now, I break out in a cold sweat!

Shen Ruoyan saw that she already understood, so he didn't say anything else.

"I'm under house arrest now, and all I can do is wait." Shen Ruoyan looked out the window. The sky was still the same, but it reflected a different life every day. A cool breeze blew, and her eyes moved:

"Don't worry, we won't have to wait long."
