Shen Ruoyan suppressed the matter of his mute son being poisoned.
No one knew about this except the few people who were present that day.
Doctor Xu said that the poison could be cured, but to completely eliminate it, a special medicine was needed. This medicine was hard to find and was far away overseas. The only thing he could do now was to save the prince's life first.
When he said this, Lu Yan did not leave, and Shen Ruoyan did not deliberately avoid him.
Living in the Marquis' Mansion, he was destined to be different from others since birth. Now he was being plotted against. If he still had the mind of a child who was ignorant of everything, then she could protect him once, but not a second time.
If you want to live, you have to rely on yourself!
"Go check who served the prince when he got into trouble. How many of them stayed in the mansion, and how many did not?"
Shen Ruoyan's face was solemn. So many years had passed, and he didn't know whether the other party had wiped away the traces.
However, if this matter is not investigated thoroughly, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, which is very disadvantageous to her!
This task was assigned to Chunxi. She was calm and attentive. Furthermore, she was kind, so she could talk to everyone in the mansion. By having her do it, she could minimize the attention she would draw.
Treating Lu Yan’s illness is the top priority.
But he couldn't let the other party know that he had noticed this.
So Shen Ruoyan stayed in the house for a few days and spread the news that the root of her illness from falling into the water had relapsed. She needed to see Doctor Xu for long-term care.
After Lu Jing learned the news, he came in the rain.
It was the first time he visited Shen Ruoyan when she was sick.
"Ma'am, how are you?"
When Lu Jing entered the room, Shen Ruoyan was eating the snacks that Qiu Ye brought from outside. Recently, in order to pretend to be sick, she had been drinking porridge every day, and the bitter taste in her mouth was almost gone!
After much difficulty, Qiu Ye brought in some food from outside. Just as she started to eat it, Lu Jing, the blind man, showed up!
"Thank you for your concern, Lord Marquis. I'm much better now." Shen Ruoyan leaned weakly on the bed, with beads of sweat on his forehead. The sick child was so delicate that it made people feel a little distressed.
Lu Jing sighed softly, "You are just too sensible. You are sweating in pain, but you still lied to me that you are fine."
sweat?
Shen Ruoyan subconsciously touched her forehead and found it was indeed a little wet. Perhaps it was from the hasty hiding of snacks, and then the busy undressing and lying back in bed pretending to be sick...
She put down her hand and lowered her head slightly. "I heard that the Marquis has been very busy recently. I just don't want him to worry about me."
Some people pretend to be sick even though they are not sick, just to make Lu Jing worry. They wish he would stay by their side all day long and do nothing.
And some people, when they are sick, not only do they not send anyone to disturb them, they are even considerate enough to pretend they are not sick, for fear that it will delay their important work.
The difference is immediately apparent!
Lu Jing thought of Fang Rou, who was still under house arrest, and a strange feeling filled his heart. He had originally thought that Fang Rou came to the Marquis' Mansion alone and could only rely on him, so it was understandable that she had gone astray before.
But compared with Shen Ruoyan, he is still too petty.
I don't know if it was telepathy or what, but when he was about to ask Shen Ruoyan to have a good rest, the voice of the servant came from outside:
"Your Excellency, Aunt Fang is kneeling outside the Madam's Courtyard, apologizing!"
It was raining outside, the water splashing onto the ground with a crackling sound, and the water droplets were as high as the knees. Fang Rou was dressed in a white shirt, kneeling in the rain, like a snow lotus standing firm in the rainstorm, which made people feel pity.
When Shen Ruoyan and Lu Jing came out, they saw such a sad and beautiful scene.
Lu Jing, who was just disliking Fang Rou's pettiness, seemed to swallow back all his words when he saw that beautiful face.
She is so pitiful!
Shen Ruoyan saw all of this, especially the change in Lu Jing's expression, and suddenly felt that it was no luck that Fang Rou had such an important place in his heart.
This woman, on the other hand, knew Lu Jing very well.
"What is Aunt Fang doing? It's raining so hard, and you're not in good health, how can you bear it?" As soon as Shen Ruoyan finished speaking, the maids ran over with umbrellas and blocked Fang Rou's head.
However, Fang Rou just shook her head firmly. She raised her face. Even in such a heavy rain, her hair on her forehead was not messed up at all. Instead, her clean features were exposed, making her look pure.
"I know I was wrong. I made a big mistake in order to gain the favor of the Marquis. I hope that Madam will be magnanimous and forgive me!"
[I didn't punish you, why should I forgive you?]
Shen Ruoyan covered his chest and coughed violently, immediately drawing Lu Jing's attention back.
[Isn't it just pretending to be pitiful? Who wouldn't be...?]
"What do you mean by that, Aunt Fang?" Shen Ruoyan was surprised. She coughed and said aggrievedly, "Aunt, are you blaming me now?"
Her face gradually turned red, and even her hands were trembling slightly, as if she had suffered a great blow. "The Marquis punished you with house arrest for your own good. Auntie, instead of reflecting on yourself, you want me to forgive you now? Do you want me to bypass the Marquis and release you from house arrest?"
She is the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, but the one who is in charge of this mansion is Lu Jing!
"Fang Rou, you are really becoming more and more outrageous!"
Lu Jing spoke angrily. He really couldn't understand why the person who had moved him and wanted to be with him for the rest of his life had become like this!
"If you have anything to say, just tell me. Although I have good intentions, I won't tolerate your insolence!"
