The knocking stopped at that moment, and a respectful male voice sounded, "Reporting to Madam, the young master is not in the manor. Madam, please wait a little longer."
After he finished speaking, there was silence outside.
Chen Shuyu was so angry that she slammed down the memorial tablet in the ancestral hall, her eyes filled with anger and grievance. "Why can't Lu Chengyuan let my son come to see me? I have worked hard in the Marquis's mansion all these years, even if I haven't made any great contributions."
If I had told him what happened back then, he wouldn't be alive today, yet he treats me like this.
He... he deserves a terrible death.
The thought of what happened back then made her heart clench.
She thought Lu Chengyuan married her because he loved her, and she was immersed in the joy of marrying the man she loved.
But it wasn't until she discovered the secret that she realized she was nothing more than a pawn used to cover up everything for Lu Chengyuan.
Although there are many rumors circulating outside about her and Lu Chengyuan's deep affection for each other, there are also many rumors that she killed Li Qingmeng and seduced Lu Chengyuan to successfully marry into the Marquis's family.
All of this had nothing to do with her.
When she and Lu Chengyuan became engaged, he said he wanted to marry her in a grand and glorious way and divorce Li Qingmeng.
Although she liked Lu Chengyuan at that time, she was, after all, a lady from a respectable family, so how could she seduce a married man?
She believed Lu Chengyuan was telling the truth, but it wasn't until she gave birth to Lu Lin that she realized it was all a lie.
Unfortunately, at that time she was being raised by her family on a farm and dared not let the people of the capital know that she was pregnant out of wedlock. After meeting Lu Chengyuan, she believed his sweet words and waited patiently for him to marry her.
It wasn't until she married into the Lu family, Li Qingmeng died, and Lu Cijian was sent away that she discovered that shameful secret.
She kept the secret for many years, pretending to be virtuous and kind. Gradually, she came to believe that she was Lu Chengyuan's most beloved woman.
Now, the dream is over.
Lu Chengyuan never really cared about her.
Since she was locked in the ancestral hall, this person has never come to see her, not even when he ordered someone to look after her.
This person never paid any attention to her.
Chen Shuyu collapsed to the ground in an instant, her face ashen and streaked with tears.
Seeing that his mistress had gone completely mad, the old nanny beside her quickly stepped forward to help Chen Shuyu up and comforted her, "Madam, don't worry, the master has always liked the young master and will definitely not let anything happen to him."
He might not come to see you because he doesn't want to upset you. Don't overthink it; it'll only hurt your health.
Upon hearing this, Chen Shuyu burst into laughter, tears streaming down her face. She laughed and cried at the same time, looking like a madwoman. "Hahaha, you don't want to hurt me, what a fine way of saying you don't want to hurt me."
If he truly cared for my son and me, he should have killed that bastard Lu Cijian, instead of preventing me and Lin'er from seeing each other.
The thought of Lu Cijian made her grit her teeth in hatred; that bastard's offspring was just as despicable as the bastard herself.
The old woman just smiled and said, "Madam, why are you arguing with someone who has no parents? He can't go back to the Marquis's mansion anyway, and the master probably holds a grudge against him. He'll deal with him sooner or later."
"Madam, just you wait and see."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shuyu's anger subsided considerably, but she immediately frowned again.
Lu Chengyuan is too cold-blooded. Whether it's towards Li Qingmeng or her, he's even going so far as to lay a hand on his own son. He's really heartless.
After Lu Cijian was sent to the manor, this man never asked about him. If it weren't for his later desire to use Lu Cijian to gain complete control of the Imperial Guards, he would never have remembered that he had a son.
Now, he has even harbored murderous intent towards his own flesh and blood; he is truly a heartless person.
Thinking about this, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.
If the other party could even harm their own son, what chance would they have against her?
If Lu Chengyuan knew that she knew his secret, he would probably kill her immediately.
The thought of that possibility sent shivers down her spine.
She absolutely couldn't let anyone know about that, otherwise, not only would she be in danger, but Lin'er might also be in danger.
Seeing that she was gradually calming down, the old nanny beside her breathed a sigh of relief and comforted her with a smile: "It's good that Madam can understand. Master likes the young master the most, how could he not treat the young master well?"
Chen Shuyu merely twitched the corners of her mouth and said nothing more, but she felt somewhat apprehensive, especially when she saw the scattered plaques all over the room, which sent chills down her spine.
She must keep this secret and protect Lin'er.
At this time, in the Princess's residence.
Jiang Yimian had been thinking about what Lu Cijian had said since she got off the carriage, and now she couldn't help but wonder who the person related to Lu Chengyuan was.
Just as he was about to ask the person next to him a few more questions, he saw Jiang Qingyuan walk over from the other end of the corridor, with Liu'er following behind him.
Jiang Yimian raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Brother, are you here to deliver lychees again today?"
Jiang Qingyuan was taken aback, then quickly waved his hand and said earnestly, "There's nothing going on in the camp today, so I came to see my parents."
Although his memory has not fully recovered, he can feel the familiar kinship in his time with the Jiang family these days.
If the military camp weren't so far from the princess's residence, he would definitely have moved in.
Jiang Yimian then responded, saying with some regret, "I thought my brother was going to send the princess the sweetest lychees, but it seems that's not the case now."
Seeing this, Liu'er covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "That's right. A few days ago, my aunt and uncle were wondering why you, Deputy General Jiang, kept bringing lychees. Even though we eat lychees every day in the mansion, Xiao Nuan'er said that if we keep eating them, we'll turn into a lychee."
I never expected that Vice General Jiang was doing this for the princess.
Lu Cijian raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, but remained silent.
Stared at by three pairs of intense gazes, Jiang Qingyuan felt a little embarrassed. He covered his mouth and coughed lightly before trying to remain calm and said, "Little sister, please don't misunderstand. The princess has always been very particular about food. I was afraid that the princess wouldn't like the lychees I sent, so I thought of letting you try them first and help me choose some."
He initially brought the lychees simply so his family could try them, since lychees are hard to find this season.
I never expected Wei Jinghai to suddenly ask him to send some to the princess to try.
Originally, they intended to send someone to deliver some items casually, but then felt it would be too disrespectful and disrespectful to the princess.
In the end, for some reason, it turned out that his younger sister and her friends were the ones helping him taste the lychees.
Thinking about it now, I just feel a little embarrassed.
He didn't know when it started, but he became somewhat at a loss with the princess, even though he wasn't like this before.
It seems that the change started with that Mid-Autumn Festival lantern display.
Seeing Jiang Qingyuan's stiff expression, Jiang Yimian found it amusing and teased, "Brother, don't worry, the princess will like anything you send."
Jiang Qingyuan was taken aback and quickly said, "Little sister, don't talk nonsense."
Jiang Yimian just smiled helplessly and said nothing more. She was really powerless to do anything about her older brother's wooden personality and didn't know when he would realize his own feelings.
Just then, I saw a figure sneaking around behind the artificial hill, carrying large and small bags on his back, behaving like a thief, which really caught my attention.
