"Grandma, please let me see my brother! I promise I won't do anything. I just want to see him."

Lu Ankang refused to give up and insisted on taking a look at Lu Sinian.

Old Madam Lu thought that he had just returned, and there were many people here, and the maids were watching nearby, so nothing unexpected should happen.

"Okay, then I'll show you. From now on, you two brothers can support each other."

Old Madam Lu asked someone to bring Lu Sinian out. The child was usually left with her. Old Madam Lu was old and always felt that children were noisy, so she didn't even take care of her son herself.

But now, I particularly like the noise of children.

Lu Sinian was a small ball, wrapped in a swaddle, looking chubby and very cute.

As soon as Lu Ankang saw him, he couldn't help but step forward. Just as he was about to extend his hand, the quick-eyed and quick-handed nanny dodged him.

As expected of the old lady, the nanny's expression didn't even change. She smiled and explained, "Master Kang, the young master is too young to have too much contact with strangers. I hope Master Kang will forgive me."

Forgive me?

Lu Ankang was very unhappy. The nanny was on guard against him, as if she was sure he would do something.

"Grandma, my brother looks so small, just like a little monkey, skinny and not good-looking at all!" Lu Ankang said naively. His mother said that when he was born, his face was like a freshly peeled egg, so handsome!

It can't be compared with Lu Sinian's wrinkled appearance!

Old Madam Lu did not take his childish words seriously. Children speak directly without thinking and say whatever comes to mind.

Lu Sinian was born a short time ago, and his mouth hadn't even opened yet. Lu Ankang didn't know, so it was normal for him to think he looked like a monkey.

But when Lu Ankang saw that Mrs. Lu didn't react to what he said, he thought he was right, so he became even more aggressive.

"Grandma, are all children so ugly? But mother said that many children are very good-looking. Is it only my brother who is so ugly?"

"Nonsense!" Old Madam Lu was a little unhappy. She felt that everyone was responsible. No matter how unintentional the mistake was, she couldn't keep belittling Lu Sinian!

For Madam Lu, this is also the hope and future of the Marquis' Mansion.

Now Lu Ankang is not the only candidate in her mind.

"Grandma, Kang Ge knows he's wrong. Please don't be angry. Kang Ge won't dare say anything about his younger brother anymore... Grandma, please don't let Kang Ge go back to the manor, okay?"

Lu Ankang's mouth drooped, and tears came out. His big eyes were filled with fear and terror!

Madam Lu was shocked. "When did I say I would send you to the manor?"

Lu Ankang's tears were like pearls that had broken off the string, continuously falling from his eye sockets, just like his depressed heart, hitting the ground hard.

It made Mrs. Lu feel distressed.

She pulled the child into her arms, patted him gently and said soothingly, "Don't worry, Brother Kang, everything that happened before is in the past. From now on, you won't have to suffer in the manor anymore."

Lu Ankang hugged her dependently, buried his head in her chest, and looked so dependent that Mrs. Lu enjoyed it even more.

"Brother Kang misses grandma so much. Brother Kang doesn't want to leave grandma..."

Lu Ankang followed Fang Rou's instructions and completely captured Madam Lu's heart!

So what if Lu Sinian is favored? After all, he is just a baby who can't even speak.

In the past, there was nothing we could do because Lu Ankang was not around.

Now that Lu Ankang has returned to the Marquis' Mansion, do those people still think that she will just sit there and wait for death?

Opportunities must always be fought for by yourself!

Now that her son is back, he must win everyone's hearts again in order to maintain his position in the Marquis' Mansion!

There are more than one woman around Lu Jing. Sooner or later, Lu Jing will only see the new people smile and not the old people cry.

But if her son could gain a foothold in the Marquis' Mansion, her situation would be different.

So what if he is a bastard's son or an adopted son? As long as he is the Marquis's son, he has the qualifications to fight for him!

So the first thing she taught Lu Ankang was to hold the old lady's thighs tightly!

"Mom, I did everything you asked today, and grandma seems to like me more than yesterday."

After Lu Ankang came back, he said gloomily.

Fang Rou looked at him with relief. After coming back this time, she felt that her son had become much more sensible.

Although this is an idea that a mother shouldn't have, Fang Rou always feels that letting her son go to the farm to suffer some hardships was actually the right thing to do!

"Since Grandma likes you again, why are you still unhappy?"

Lu Ankang's emotions were written all over his face, Fang Rou asked with concern.

"But grandma seems to like Lu Sinian more... Mom, I don't like Lu Sinian. It would be better if he didn't exist."

Fang Rou was startled and quickly said, "Brother Kang, Lu Sinian is your father's son. He is one of them, but he may not be the last."

Lu Ankang raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion.

Obviously, this roundabout way of speaking was too difficult for him—

He didn't understand!

"What mother means is that you don't have to care about Lu Sinian. As long as grandma likes you and your father likes you, even if there is another Lu Sinian, he will not be your opponent."

There is more than one woman around Lu Jing. Even if it is not Lu Sinian, there may be another Sinian born in the future, so there is no point in hating him.

As long as Lu Ankang can regain the love of the old lady and the favor of Lu Jing, no matter how many sons Lu Jing has in the future, Lu Ankang will be the most important one!

Fang Rou hopes that her son can have a longer-term vision and not be blinded by the jealousy in front of him.

But she forgot that Lu Ankang was just a child, and children would compete for favor.

Being jealous is a normal thing for them.

It is impossible for him not to hate Lu Sinian!

If it weren't for Lu Sinian, why wouldn't my grandmother and father love me as much as before?

That mute Lu Yan is nothing to be afraid of.

His grandmother and father never liked him. Even though he was the eldest son of the Marquis's Mansion, in their eyes, everything in the Marquis' Mansion had nothing to do with him!

Therefore, Lu Ankang's hostility towards Lu Yan was not that great, but the sweet and soft Lu Sinian made him unable to sleep well and worried all day long.

Fang Rou was still trying to persuade her son earnestly that as long as there was life, there would be no shortage of firewood.

As long as you can capture the hearts of Madam Lu and the Marquis, everything before you will be nothing but a passing cloud.

The most urgent task is not to be jealous, but to win people's hearts!

Fang Rou explained in great detail, but Lu Ankang was distracted frequently while listening.

When he finally left, his expression was calm, as if he had listened to her. Even Fang Rou felt that her son had changed a lot and he wouldn't even make a fuss about such things.

If she knew later that this was the calm before the storm, she would never let Lu Ankang leave that room even if she died!
