Qiu Ye's heart is not that good, she is just nice to Shen Ruoyan.
In her opinion, this is a godsend!
Cao An asked all pregnant women to undergo examinations. He was following the emperor's orders, so even if something happened, it would have nothing to do with his wife.
That’s the emperor!
Do we want the Madam to disobey the imperial order for the sake of a concubine in the mansion?
However, the lady not only did not use a knife to kill someone, but also helped Aunt Zhuhong when she came to ask for help.
Everyone in the mansion was saying that if the concubine could give birth to a healthy baby boy, the old lady would definitely focus on raising him. After all, the prince was mute and would never be able to become an official in the future. If the mansion was handed over to him, it would be completely ruined!
But if he is a healthy child and is well-educated, the Marquisate may be able to flourish in his hands!
At least, no matter how bad he is, he is still a healthy person!
That's why Qiu Ye felt that Zhu Hong's existence was a potential threat. The Crown Prince was Madam's child, and the entire Marquisate would belong to him in the future. How could he give it to someone else?
"After all, she is the bloodline of the Marquisate. If something really happens to her, no matter if it has anything to do with me or not, it will be blamed on me in the end."
Shen Ruoyan looked out the window, a little lost in thought. She was just clearing her mind, but in Qiu Ye's eyes, it was a kind of helplessness that was more sorrowful than a dead heart.
Yes, Madam is the mistress of this mansion. Now that the Marquis is not at home, and the concubine is pregnant again, people are always good at using their own minds to guess others, and it is impossible to believe that Madam will treat the concubine sincerely!
If something really happens to Zhuhong, no matter whether the lady did it or not, everyone will subconsciously blame her for it - because in their hearts, that's what they already think!
In this world, is there any mistress who doesn’t torture her concubine?
"I really don't understand why, even with the Crown Prince here, these people are still staring at the baby in my concubine's belly all day long... If you can't be an official, then you can't be an official. We are a marquisate, not a commoner's family. A title is enough!"
Qiu Ye’s subconscious complaints made Shen Ruoyan’s brows slightly frowned.
She immediately realized that she had said something wrong and wanted to slap herself twice. Why did her old habit come back again?
Can't she control her mouth?!
"You go down first." Shen Ruoyan's expression was still calm, but Qiu Ye instinctively felt that the lady was not in a happy mood.
So she retreated quickly, and after going out, she slapped herself twice, scaring the people around her so much that they immediately hid away!
"It's okay, I'm just swatting mosquitoes!"
Qiu Ye made a random explanation and strode away, leaving the others in a disheveled state in the wind.
And after she left, Shen Ruoyan sat down alone and thought carefully.
After Lu Yan became mute, the Lu family's attitude towards him was completely different, which was really too exaggerated.
Qiu Ye was right. Even if Lu Yan became mute, he was still the crown prince appointed by the emperor himself. He would inherit the title in the future and would still be able to ensure the survival of the marquisate.
Why was the old lady so cruel and looked like she couldn't wait to get rid of him?
After entering the mansion, she inquired about Lu Yan's affairs from various sources. She found out that before Lu Yan got into trouble, the people who served him were either dismissed from the mansion or sold out after making mistakes. However, when she sent people to look for them, they could not find any trace of them.
Even if it is sold, a record will be kept.
But no, nothing.
This matter itself was very strange, so she firmly believed that Lu Yan's accident was not an accident. Following this clue, she discovered the clues from that year.
But the fact that Lu Yan was abandoned was unreasonable in itself.
Even when he was young, he had already shown his talent. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lu Yan had a promising future. Even though he was mute, his brain was fine! He wouldn't be treated as an outcast, unwelcome wherever he went.
Moreover, the first person to change her attitude was Madam Lu.
This was the person who loved him the most.
Shen Ruoyan found this very strange. Madam Lu would tolerate her for the sake of the Shen family. But when it came to Lu Yan, she seemed to have forgotten that Lu Yan was also the grandson of the Shen family.
This is not in line with the old lady's style.
She bullies the weak and fears the strong, and she regards the Marquis' Mansion as her life. Lu Yan has not completely lost his usefulness, and she should not treat him like this.
etc!
Treat the Marquis' Mansion as your life? !
When Shen Ruoyan married Lu Jing, it was not marrying up. Strictly speaking, it was marrying down.
The Shen family has a good reputation and its scholars have a high status. As the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, even if she marries a prince, she will be a match made in heaven.
But at first, Mrs. Lu didn't like her granddaughter-in-law.
It's not just because of Shen Ruoyan's personality, but more because of Shen Ruoyan's identity.
She was born into a noble family. For the servants of the Marquis' Mansion, Shen Ruoyan's marriage into the Marquis' Mansion meant that she had brought new strength to the Mansion. Naturally, everyone could only welcome her. How could they possibly look down on her?
Facts have proved that even Shen Ruoyan was generous in her previous actions, and she had much more money to spend under her than under the old lady.
But for the old lady, she herself had no support from her mother's family. If Lu Jing married a daughter from a small family, she could still control it. But if she married someone of such high status, she couldn't even suppress her own status, so what dignity could she have?
If Shen Ruoyan had not been weak and vulnerable after entering the mansion, she would probably not have had a good face towards Lu Yan at the beginning.
