The wound on the child's finger will heal if he is not taken to the hospital to stop the bleeding.
You didn't seem heartbroken then, so who are you putting on an act for now?
Shen Ruoyan was disdainful in her heart, but she was very cooperative on the surface, "Why don't you quickly take the little master down and take good care of him. If anything happens, you can't afford it!"
Before his identity was proven, this child was still a bastard that everyone hated.
But now he has transformed himself into a noble young master in the marquis's mansion!
ridiculous!
How sad!
Zhuhong and her son were taken away, but the matter was not over yet.
Liu Lu pointed at Fang Rou angrily and said, "My Lord, there must be something wrong with that basin of water. It must have been done by Concubine Fang! She has long been jealous of my sister for being pregnant with your child and has always held a grudge against her. This must have been her doing!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Fang Rou saw Liu Lu biting her and quickly distanced herself from the matter. "I just asked Xiao Tao to go over and watch. She didn't do anything! Besides, didn't Chun Xi also go over there? Why don't you say anything about her?"
"Chunxi is mine. Aunt Fang, is this what I'm supposed to do?"
Shen Ruoyan stood there quietly, but her whole body exuded the aura of "keep away from strangers". Her tone was calm, but it had an unquestionable authority.
Even Lu Jing subconsciously avoided looking at him.
"As the mistress of this mansion, I treat all concubines equally. Serving the Marquis well is your duty. Propagating the Marquis's descendants is your responsibility. I am the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, well-read, how could I not tolerate the child of a concubine?"
Shen Ruoyan stared at Fang Rou with a sharp gaze, "Who is the real person with ulterior motives? We will make our own judgment after the investigation."
"Madam, don't be angry. I believe you wouldn't have done this." Lu Jing spoke to comfort her. He finally realized that what happened today had really provoked Shen Ruoyan too much.
She was the mistress of this mansion, but she was yelled at like that by a concubine. If this got out, it would not only be an embarrassment to her, but also to herself!
He finally managed to gain some military merit this time, gaining face in front of the emperor. It would take time for Qin Shaobei to pass the Spring Examination and become an official in the court.
It's not worth offending the Shen family for Fang Rou.
What's more, he doesn't want to be known as a man who favors his concubine over his wife - if it gets out, he won't be able to get promoted!
"Just the Marquis's letter alone might not convince everyone." Shen Ruoyan no longer wanted to give Lu Jing face, so she snorted and said, "Since Aunt Fang is suspicious, let's get someone to investigate! Since there's something wrong with the water, someone must have tampered with it."
Shen Ruoyan was confident, "As long as it's done, there will be traces. I don't believe that I can't find it!"
"Come here, arrest everyone who has come into contact with that basin of water. Don't let anyone go until the matter is thoroughly investigated!"
This time, Shen Ruoyan was serious. Not only did he capture Xiao Tao, he also didn't let Chun Xi go.
All those who have come into contact with that basin of water will be kept under strict supervision!
At the same time, she also sent someone to invite Doctor Xu back and asked him to take a closer look to find out what was wrong with the water.
Everyone was detained here and not allowed to leave, including Lu Jing.
But he was very cooperative and did whatever Shen Ruoyan asked him to do, not daring to offend him easily again.
After regaining his senses, he wanted to slap himself twice - why didn't he calm down a little at that time? It wouldn't be too late to get angry after someone investigated it first!
Now, Shen Ruoyan has been offended by Fang Rou, and he will suffer as well.
Later, I have to find a way to comfort Zhuhong. She seems gentle, but she is actually stubborn. Now that she has suffered such a great injustice, I am afraid she will be unable to get over it.
And that child...I can only give him more compensation in the future.
"Madam, there's nothing wrong with the water, but there is with this basin." Doctor Xu scraped some powder off the basin, twisted it with his hand, and sniffed it. He said, "This substance is called Luoying powder. It's colorless and odorless, but if placed in water, it will dissolve instantly and be difficult to detect."
Doctor Xu wrapped the powder in a handkerchief and explained, "This substance has a very good effect in stopping bleeding. If you put it in water, it will prevent the blood from mixing."
"What?!" Lu Jing suddenly realized, "No wonder my blood and the child's blood won't mix. So this is the reason!"
How could he not understand at this point?
This incident was deliberately orchestrated by someone in order to suppress Zhuhong and her son.
Once the child's identity was successfully confused, according to his personality, he would definitely sell Zhu Hong, and he would turn a blind eye to this child and directly find someone to deal with him -
The only one who can benefit from this is Fang Rou!
Shen Ruoyan already had a son, and at least Lu Yan was still the prince, so she didn't need to start preparing for a rainy day so early. Moreover, she was in charge of the overall situation throughout the whole process, and didn't seem to have any other thoughts. On the contrary, she was wronged because of Fang Rou.
And Fang Rou... has too many motives!
Others didn't know, but Lu Jing knew it clearly in his heart. If Fang Rou had done this, then there was only one reason -
For Lu Ankang!
Lu Yan was a mute, so even though he was the prince, Fang Rou never really took him seriously.
But Zhuhong's child was different. He was born a healthy boy. Although the future was unpredictable, who would want to watch their own threat grow up?
Lu Jing already had a direction in his mind.
But he didn't say anything, because he knew that if he said it, Fang Rou would have no way out.
After all, she was doing it for the children.
For Kang Ge.
"My Lord, since there's something wrong with this basin, someone must have tampered with it beforehand. As long as we find out who prepared this basin, the truth will be revealed."
As soon as Shen Ruoyan finished speaking, Xiao Tao knelt on the ground in despair.
The basin... was prepared by her.
"Xiao Tao, I'm afraid they'll tamper with the blood test and make this bastard child real. So, prepare the basin and water in advance. If they need someone to go, I'll recommend you and let you go with them. This way, they can prevent them from faking it."
These were the words that Aunt Fang personally told her before she left.
"Auntie, Xiaotao didn't do it, Xiaotao didn't do it, Auntie, save me! Auntie, save me!" Xiaotao looked at Fang Rou earnestly. It was she who asked her to prepare the basin of water. Fang Rou knew best whether she had done it or not.
How could a little maid like her dare to do something that her master had not even ordered her to do?
However, despite Xiao Tao's expectation, Fang Rou simply turned her head away silently, covering her mouth and sobbing, "I never thought that this maid would be so bold as to do such a treasonous thing!"
She suddenly looked at Lu Jing, her eyes wide open, and said with great determination: "My Lord, please handle this impartially!"
