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

Chapter 88: An unpromising husband and a promising son

Lu Jing finally heard about what was happening outside.

The wind in Shengjing City suddenly reversed, and he was still unable to react.

So, after thinking about it, I found my grandmother.

"Grandma, do you think we don't need to go and apologize for this matter?" Lu Jing thought for a long time. Now everyone outside is talking about the bad things about the palace. If they go to apologize at this time, it seems a little inappropriate.

Old Madam Lu resisted the urge to despise him, and silently said in her heart, this is the child of the Lu family, the head of the Marquis' Mansion, and he cannot be beaten.

"Since you've already seen it, why are you asking me?" Her tone was slightly sarcastic. The older she gets, the more childish her personality becomes. She knew in her heart that she should control herself, but she still followed her heart when she spoke.

Lu Jing was helpless, "Grandma, should I let Ruoyan out?"

The reason why he dared to directly ban Shen Ruoyan's feet was because the Spring Examination was approaching and Qin Shaobei had already left the Lu Mansion and went to prepare for the exam with Pei Rushi.

Now Shen Ruoyan is isolated and helpless in the mansion. Even if he is under house arrest, no one can support her.

By the time Qin Shaobei came back, everything had already been settled. If Shen Ruoyan wanted to file a complaint, it had been so long since the incident, and Qin Shaobei couldn't bring up the past in his house.

Lu Jing's plan was very clever, but now that the wind outside was becoming increasingly unfavorable to the palace, it seemed a little unreasonable for him to keep the mistress Shen Ruoyan under house arrest.

Seriously speaking, his mansion was really the victim in this incident!

"You don't have to worry about this." Madam Lu didn't care. It wasn't that she didn't want to intervene, but she hoped that this incident could teach Shen Ruoyan a lesson. Let her see clearly who is the real master in this mansion!

"The house arrest won't affect her at all. What's wrong with serving her with good food and drink?" Old Madam Lu didn't care. She had long disliked Shen Ruoyan. Ever since she got the power of housekeeper, she has become even more unbecoming.

I am increasingly looking down upon her!

"Ruoyan has read a lot and has a high self-esteem. Although this incident is not her fault, if she encounters such a thing in the future, she should reflect on it." Madam Lu spoke slowly, her old voice carrying an unquestionable firmness:

"She is the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, not the daughter of the Shen family. The Shen family is willing to cover for her, but there are more than a hundred people in my Marquis' Mansion, and we can't stand her tossing and turning!"

It's time to discipline this person who always shouts for fairness and justice.

Lu Jing nodded in agreement, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized that this was indeed the truth.

Fortunately, Shen Ruoyan was born in a rich family, but she was very naive. To argue with the royal family about right and wrong is simply to die too long!

"Then let her stay locked up."

After receiving his grandmother's approval, Lu Jing left with peace of mind.

But he didn't know that by leaving, he had completely lost his escape route...

"Madam, this was secretly sent in by the prince."

Chun Xi quietly took out a book, which was filled with letters from Lu Yan to Shen Ruoyan. It was hard for him to fill a whole page with letters even though he was a child with limited literacy.

Shen Ruoyan took it and looked at it carefully.

Because Lu Yan can't speak, most of the time his hands move more than his mouth.

His handwriting is neat and elegant. He was a good apprentice taught by Pei Rushi personally. Even if he is in a hurry, the words he writes reveal his integrity and perseverance.

In the letter, Lu Yan told Shen Ruoyan that everyone in Shengjing City was talking about this matter. After the storyteller fell into the water and was rescued, countless people took the initiative to stand up and seek justice for him - those scholars who were looked down upon by the princess sometimes happened to be the most noble people.

Lu Jing only knew that scholars were difficult to deal with, so he didn't want to really offend the Shen family.

But he would never think about why scholars are so troublesome?

That is because, those heads buried in books, when they open their eyes, see the vast territory of Dasheng, and what they care about in their hearts are countless ordinary civilians.

They used their pens and ink as knives and their words as swords, fighting on a battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder.

All for the justice and fairness in our hearts!

If a dynasty cannot even maintain these things, then it is not far from collapse.

The conflict between civil and military is not as simple as studying and practicing martial arts. Lu Jing superficially thought that this was an irreconcilable conflict, a grudge accumulated from generation to generation.

In fact, a force had secretly gathered in a place he couldn't see.

Regardless of civil or military, high or low, all for justice!

"People outside say that the princess is bullying others by taking advantage of her power. My son thinks that the princess is not bullying others by taking advantage of her power, because in her eyes, this matter is not bullying, she is just acting normally. This is enough to show how arrogant the noble families are."

Every time Lu Yan wrote to Shen Ruoyan, he would add some of his own insights.

In the past, this was Shen Ruoyan's request to him. Let Lu Yan communicate his ideas with her in this way.

But now, Lu Yan took the initiative to do this. Talking about these things with his mother was not a burden for him, but a relaxing communication.

Because his mother would not stand in the position of an adult and instruct him from a high position. Instead, she would listen carefully to his opinions, sometimes agreeing and sometimes disagreeing, but every time she responded, Lu Yan could feel her sincerity.

Not a mother who is perfunctory towards her son.

But more like, a friend, a confidant.

At the end of the letter, Lu Yan also comforted Shen Ruoyan, hoping that she would not worry, and that he would find a way outside to lift Shen Ruoyan's house arrest as soon as possible.

Shen Ruoyan couldn't help laughing out loud when she saw him making solemn promises to her in the letter like a little adult.

Chun Xi asked curiously, "Madam, what's wrong? But what interesting things did the prince write?"

It is rare to see the lady smile so happily and relaxed. This kind of stress-free smile has not been seen on her face for a long time.

She didn't know why, but although the lady now made people feel more respected, she always felt that her heart was always tense and she had never really relaxed.

Even when she smiled, it seemed as if she was carrying countless worries, unlike now, which makes people want to laugh along with her.

"It's not a big deal, I just feel that Yan'er has indeed grown up." Shen Ruoyan said meaningfully.

Although Lu Yan was mute, fortunately, the child did not give up on himself. Instead, under the guidance of his teacher and the company of his friends, he gradually got better.

Of course, she contributed to this, but more importantly, it was Lu Yan's own efforts.

I hope the real Shen Ruoyan would be proud of her son if she knew this.

And it's time for her to make her own way!
