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

Although Shen Ruoyan's life seems to be peaceful, there are actually undercurrents.

Lu Yan's incident reminded her once again that the murderer who poisoned her has not been found yet.

The other party is very likely someone from the Marquis' Mansion, and he has not revealed his true identity yet. Everyone thought that Lu Yan became mute because of an accident, but how could there be so many coincidences in this world?

When Lu Yan was murdered, his reputation as a child prodigy was at its most widespread.

Everyone said that the young master of the Marquis of Changning's Mansion was extremely talented, and that he would surely surpass his master when he grew up, so they placed great expectations on him.

Even the emperor could not stop praising Lu Yan, saying that he was worthy of being the son of Shen family's daughter. He had been surrounded by books since childhood and was born into a general's family. He would surely be able to be both civil and military and bring honor to the family in the future.

I just didn’t expect that it was so dazzling when it was glorious, but less and less cared about when it was lonely.

I am afraid that there are not many people in the whole mansion who still remember that he was once known as a child prodigy.

After she came to the Marquis' Mansion, she felt that this matter was very strange. Lu Yan was the only child in the Marquis' Mansion at that time. Logically, even if Lu Jing didn't like Shen Ruoyan, he should still value this son.

The better the son is, the easier it will be for him to enjoy happiness in the future.

This can be seen from the favor that Old Madam Lu had shown to Lu Yan in the past.

Just as she favored Lu Ankang now, she also favored Lu Yan in the past. Because in Lu Yan, she saw the hope of the Lu family and felt that this great-grandson could carry forward the Lu family.

However, after Lu Yan became mute, she simply gave up the child.

It was like throwing away a chess piece that could no longer be used, without any hesitation.

Lu Jing, on the other hand, was loyal to her throughout. Because he didn't love her, he didn't care about Shen Ruoyan's child either.

No matter whether Lu Yan is excellent or not, in his heart, he is not as good as Lu Ankang.

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Although Lu Jing doesn't like Lu Yan, he is not so cruel as to destroy his son with his own hands.

At least, during the time when Lu Yan was praised by others, Lu Jing was very happy. He showed off wherever he went, and even treated Shen Ruoyan better.

It is impossible for such a vain person to destroy his own bragging rights with his own hands.

It doesn’t matter whether he likes it or not. What matters most is whether it can make him proud.

Isn't it the same way I treat him now?

Shen Ruoyan sent people to secretly investigate the murder of Lu Yan. According to the evidence currently available, this matter has nothing to do with Lu Jing.

When Lu Yan got into trouble, he was still out there looking for girls and bragging about his prodigy son every day.

After learning that Lu Jing was in trouble, he immediately looked for a doctor to treat him. He even used all his connections to invite an imperial physician to see Lu Yan in order to cure him.

Although he had no feelings for this son, Lu Yan was very useful to him at that time.

Lu Jing, there is no reason to take action.

Shen Ruoyan had also suspected the old lady. It can be said that the person in this family who has the best conditions and the most ability to do this quietly is the old lady Lu.

Although her motives were unclear, Lu Yan was murdered and all traces were wiped out extremely cleanly afterwards. This was not something that someone like Lu Jing could do.

Madam Lu is highly suspicious.

However, they couldn't find any key evidence no matter how hard they searched. Even if there were some traces, they only involved Old Madam Lu. If they defined her as the murderer based on this, it was far from enough.

"It's such a pity to lose such a good child." Shen Ruoyan sighed softly, her words drifting in the air, only the wind knew them.

In the palace, people would do anything to fight for power and profit, and she was no longer surprised.

But Lu Yan was so young at the time, let alone threatening someone, he couldn't even write steadily. Who did he get in the way of that made people so anxious to attack a child like him?

The Changning Marquisate does not have a throne to inherit, so I really can't understand why.

Shen Ruoyan would not let herself get bogged down in the complications and entanglements of things that she could not figure out for the time being.

The truth will come out one day, and what she has to do now is to try her best to assist Dr. Xu and help Lu Yan return to normal as soon as possible!

"Madam, Aunt Zhuhong wants to see you."

Chun Xi walked quickly from outside. Now, even if the sky fell, the people in the mistress's courtyard would not be as reckless as before when they came in to report.

Although they are all in the Marquis' Mansion, the servants who leave from Shen Ruoyan's place can better demonstrate the status and rules of the Marquis' Mansion.

When Zhuhong and her men were waiting outside, she had already noticed something was wrong. So, before entering the room, she whispered to the maidservant beside her to talk less and do more, and not to speak easily.

"I'm your concubine, Madam. I heard that you haven't been feeling well lately, so I've come to visit you. I hope you won't despise my humble status and offend your eyes." Zhu Hongying bowed, her voice like a trickle of water, slowly flowing through her heart.

Shen Ruoyan raised her hand to avoid the formality, "What are you talking about, sister? I am so happy that you have such a heart!"

People say polite words for polite occasions. When Shen Ruoyan was under house arrest, only Zhu Hong showed kindness to her.

Although I heard later that after Lu Jing knew about this matter, he praised Zhu Hong for her kindness and purity of character, and stayed with her for many days.

But at least she had pretended.

People like Fang Rou and Liu Lu were too lazy to even put on a show. Not adding insult to injury was their greatest kindness.

No wonder Zhuhong was able to stand out among the few people.

"My sister usually knows that her status is low, so she doesn't dare to come and bother the Madam. This time I just want to see if the Madam is feeling better, so I have the audacity to come here."

Zhuhong always had a smile on her face when she was talking. The smile was faint, but it didn't make people feel forced. Instead, it gave people a gentle feeling. It felt very relaxing and comfortable to chat with her.

Lu Jing was exhausted as a dog outside every day, but when he returned home, he would naturally be willing to go over to such a considerate and eloquent girl.

However, although the flower of eloquence is beautiful, it is easy to get tired of it.

Fang Rou has been jumping around again recently, and seems to be studying dancing or something. She has come up with a lot of new things and attracted Lu Jing over to her again.

Shen Ruoyan seemed to be under house arrest for these matters, but in fact, he knew everything about them.

Including, Zhuhong's purpose of coming this time.

"Sister, if you have time, please visit more often in the future. No wonder the Marquis always praises you for being kind and gentle, it's true."

Zhuhong was flattered by Shen Ruoyan's words. She had thought that her mistress was easy to talk to, but she had never expected that she would be so generous. Even though she, a concubine, had come to her without warning, she did not show any disdain.

He speaks to me so gently. If he is not well-educated, then he must be very scheming.

No matter which one, you can't provoke it easily.

Fortunately, she didn't come here to make enemies.
