"Why do you think so?"
Of course Shen Ruoyan knew that the baby in Zhuhong's belly was not Lu Jing's.
But how did this kid Lu Yan know this?
She didn't show shock, but she was indeed surprised. At such a young age, if it weren't for the instigation of others beside him, it would be really shocking.
Seeing that his mother was not frightened by him, Lu Yan felt relieved a little.
So, he wrote, "Hong Yi Niang has been in the mansion for a long time, but she had never been pregnant before. However, she became pregnant after my father went to war. The timing was too coincidental. I heard from the servants that my grandmother didn't believe it at first, and it was only after my mother persuaded her that she accepted it."
As the eldest son of the Marquis's Mansion, Lu Yan knew better than anyone how much his grandmother cared about the interests of the Marquis's Mansion.
When he was still a healthy child, his grandmother devoted all her heart and soul to him, and would never forget him, her good great-grandson, wherever she went.
But later, he became mute, and the person who gave up on him the fastest was his grandmother.
In her eyes, neither she nor her father could compare to the Marquisate. She had guarded the Marquisate her entire life and would never let anyone destroy its future, no matter what.
Therefore, even though she valued offspring, she also knew how serious it would be to confuse the bloodline of the Marquis's Mansion.
So when Aunt Hong first revealed that she was pregnant, she was the first one who didn't believe it!
She would never tolerate the dirty bloodline tainting the "good reputation" of the Marquis' Mansion!
But success and failure are both due to Xiao He. Lu Yan thought that the reason why his grandmother could endure it was probably to preserve the reputation of the Marquisate.
After all, if the news of the concubine in the mansion having an affair with an outsider were to get out, then the Changning Marquis Mansion would become a laughing stock in the entire Shengjing City.
The consequences are something the old lady cannot bear.
"Based on these alone, you have concluded that the child in Aunt Hong's belly is of illegitimate origin?" Shen Ruoyan did not want to criticize the child, but if it was just these, then the evidence was not sufficient.
It only shows that Lu Yan is a thoughtful child who can notice details that others overlook.
But the truth of the matter cannot be determined by intuition alone.
Lu Yan didn't panic. He even looked more composed than many adults. "Father can't do this. I know."
He discovered this as early as when his grandmother hired a doctor for his father.
It should be said that my grandmother thought she was very cautious, especially guarding against the women in the backyard, but she forgot that children also need to be guarded against sometimes.
It was precisely because his grandmother had never thought about this matter that he was able to easily sneak into her territory.
He told Shen Ruoyan that he had discovered the doctor entering the house and had found an opportunity to hide in the corner and eavesdrop. Therefore, he had already known that his father would never have a son.
Then it is natural that Aunt Hong’s pregnancy cannot be the father’s.
"Mother must have told grandmother that exposing this matter at this time would ruin the reputation of the Marquisate. So grandmother endured it and let Hong concubine go for the time being." Lu Yan wrote seriously. If someone who didn't know the truth read it, they would think he was writing something important.
Only Shen Ruoyan was staring at the contents in a trance.
Lu Yan's intelligence was beyond Shen Ruoyan's imagination.
His sharpness is hard to describe as a child's. Even many adults can't compare to him.
Including his analysis of the situation in the mansion, it was also to the point. It was not a guess, but was truly well-founded and convincing.
"Yan'er, what do you want to do when you grow up?" At this moment, Shen Ruoyan was really curious. What kind of thoughts would Lu Yan have about the future?
Will he want revenge since the people in the Marquis' Mansion treated him like this?
Or do you want to be peaceful and stay away from all this chaos?
Lu Yan didn't start writing immediately, but looked at Shen Ruoyan deeply, "Mother, do you hate it?"
Do you hate these two-faced people, those who make you give your true heart but then trample it under their feet?
After becoming mute, the proud Lu Yan felt as if his wings had been broken. He loved flying so much, but he knew clearly that he could no longer soar into the blue sky and could only hide underground, away from the sun.
He has been sad and hateful.
However, when he saw Shen Ruoyan, he felt sorry for his mother.
Compared to myself, my mother has contributed more to this family.
I have been enjoying since I was born, and what I am experiencing now is nothing more than giving back all the things I have.
But my mother is different.
She came to the Marquis' Mansion and compromised for her own sake. Although she came from a prominent family, she was controlled by her grandmother and did not dare to resist at all.
Fortunately, his mother woke up in time, but Lu Yan had not forgotten all the suffering and grievances she had endured in the mansion before - he hated his mother more than he hated himself!
"I just hope that my mother can do what she wants." Lu Yan only has this hope for the future.
He didn't want to be a marquis, nor did he want to be a general, and he didn't want to become famous.
He just wanted to protect his mother.
Therefore, he can be a marquis, a general, or even become famous, as long as he has the capital to protect his mother!
The sentence Lu Yan expressed was not long, and was even a little too short compared to Lu Changchuan's.
But Shen Ruoyan had already sensed his determination.
With a son like this, what else could I ask for?
"I hate it! But my hatred should not become your hatred. It's not fair to you." Shen Ruoyan looked at the child in front of him seriously. His face was still so childish, but his heart was already so tough.
