Shen Ruoyan nodded firmly.
"Yes, there's nothing wrong with that. Yan'er, in my heart, you will always be my most beloved child, no matter what you look like."
Shen Ruoyan raised the corners of her mouth slightly. Although the smile was not very bright, it was deeply imprinted in Lu Yan's heart.
He knew that this was not his mother's perfect smile to outsiders, but her genuine tenderness.
Everything she said is true!
Tears flowed out uncontrollably. Lu Yan sniffed and only then did he reveal a childlike smile.
He'd held on too long.
Ever since he learned that he was mute, the shadow of being abandoned has been lingering in his heart.
Even though Shen Ruoyan always showed that she cared about him very much, deep down in his heart, Lu Yan couldn't help but simulate the scene of her giving up on him.
Even when she praised Lu Changchuan, she couldn't help but feel fear in her heart, and even uncontrollable jealousy!
Why isn't he a normal kid?
Why should he be a mute?
My mother still likes me now, but in the future, when she sees other children passing the imperial examinations and bringing honor to the family, will she start to hate me?
He was afraid, more afraid than anyone else.
So he worked harder than anyone else at the Imperial College. Even back home, he didn't dare to relax, always keeping an eye on the goings-on in the mansion, hoping to get useful information for his mother.
He is just a child, of course he will feel tired and hard work.
But compared to the fear of being abandoned, these are nothing worth mentioning!
But now, Shen Ruoyan told him that you don’t have to do this - you don’t have to do anything to be loved!
Many years later, when Lu Yan recalled this day, he still felt very warm in his heart.
His greatest luck in life is to have such a good mother.
This conversation brought the mother and son closer together. Shen Ruoyan also realized that a sensible child does not necessarily live a happy life.
The more sensible you are, the more you should be pitied.
So when she had nothing to do, she would often go to Lu Yan's place. He and Lu Changchuan were busy with their studies, so instead of letting them run back and forth, it would be better for her to walk around more.
After Mrs. Lu learned about this, she did not react at all.
"He's just an adopted son and a mute. There's nothing to worry about." When Mrs. Lu heard that Shen Ruoyan had found a martial arts master for them, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes. "Let her do whatever she wants. It's all in vain anyway."
Lu Ankang is still being raised on the farm. According to the teacher, he has made great progress.
With him around, Lu Changchuan, the adopted son, will never have any hope in the Marquis' Mansion in this life!
As for Lu Yan... he is just an abandoned child. The Marquis' Mansion has enough food and clothes for him. As long as he is alive, that's enough.
Being alive is the greatest care you can give him.
Madam Lu frowned and asked, "How is Zhuhong doing? Is the child okay?"
Mammy was an elderly person by her side. Upon hearing this, she quickly replied, "We send someone to check on her every day. Concubine Hong eats and drinks well, and doesn't vomit often, so it's a relief. She's also very quiet. When she has nothing to do, she embroiders handkerchiefs and rarely goes out."
Zhuhong's daily life can be said to be very boring.
But for a pregnant woman, she stayed in the house well-behaved and did not walk around, which made the servants who served her less worried.
Madam Lu snorted coldly, "That's all she has."
If the doctor hadn't told her that the child was most likely Lu Jing's, Zhu Hong would have died long ago!
"Tell the people who are watching her not to let up and keep a close eye on her until the baby is born!" After the baby is born, a blood test will be done to confirm whether it is Lu Jing's child.
If so, then Zhuhong would be a meritorious official of the Marquis' Mansion.
If not...
She has a hundred ways to make this woman regret coming into this world!
Crisis often does not come in the form of raging waves, but rather arrives quietly amidst the calm.
During her pregnancy, Zhu Hong never left her house to avoid attracting attention. She stayed in her courtyard every day, and even when she walked, she only walked around the courtyard and never went far.
Sometimes, even Liu Lu couldn't bear it anymore, "Sister, the doctor said you should walk more, why don't you go for a walk in the garden?"
The garden of the Marquis's Mansion is pleasant and has been meticulously maintained by the servants. The flowers are in full bloom these days, so visiting them more often can help lift your mood.
"No, I'll just walk around the yard, that's fine too."
Zhuhong stroked her belly with a smile. Although she knew that this child was deliberately designed to come into her belly, perhaps influenced by maternal love, she would now take the initiative to worry about whether the child was okay.
"Sister, everyone is..." Liu Lu wanted to say that since they hadn't fallen out yet, she was afraid that someone might have ears, so she changed the subject and said, "Before the baby is born, you don't have to push yourself so hard."
To put it bluntly, even if we want to confirm whether the child is the Marquis's, we have to wait until the child is born.
Until then, my sister is safe.
But Zhu Hong just smiled and shook her head, "It's always better to be cautious."
Not everyone expects her to give birth to this child, so she has to be on guard. This child is the hope for her and her sister's future, and nothing can go wrong!
Although Liu Lu felt that her sister was a little too cautious, she thought that pregnancy might change a person's temperament, so she didn't say much.
