"What do you want?"
Madam Lu instantly became alert. At this critical juncture, Shen Ruoyan’s request must be no simple one.
Lu Jing didn't think too much about it and said straightforwardly: "You tell me! As long as I can do it, there's no problem!"
"Really?" Shen Ruoyan smiled slightly, and that smile seemed a little ironic, but soon, when Lu Jing looked at her again, he no longer had that feeling.
Maybe he saw it wrong.
Shen Ruoyan loves him so much, how could she possibly mock him?
"My request is actually not difficult. All I need is a notarized certificate from the Marquis."
Letter of guarantee?
What is this?
Lu Jing had never heard of such a thing before, so he subconsciously asked, "What kind of guarantee letter is this? What's it for?"
Shen Ruoyan smiled and explained carefully: "As long as the Marquis writes that no matter what happens in the future, the Marquis's son can only be Lu Yan, and then signs his own name."
As long as it has Lu Jing's personal signature and his personal seal, then this piece of paper will be Lu Yan's greatest guarantee in the future.
“No!”
Mrs. Lu felt that something was wrong after just listening to the beginning. Sure enough, when Shen Ruoyan finished speaking, her face was darker than the bottom of the pot, "Absolutely not!"
Shen Ruoyan was puzzled. "Why is Grandmother so angry? Yan'er is also the Marquis's biological son. He is originally the Crown Prince. I did this just to give Yan'er an extra layer of protection. Why not?"
Lu Yan is the prince now, and Shen Ruoyan did this just to ensure that he would be the prince in the future.
Mrs. Lu's reaction was so strange that she had to think more about it.
"Could it be that in Grandmother's heart, she doesn't intend to let Yan'er become the Crown Prince?"
You can't say this openly!
Perhaps realizing that her reaction was too emotional, Madam Lu smiled awkwardly and explained in a forced way, "I just didn't react for a moment, and you misunderstood."
She continued, "We are a marquisate after all, a family of military commanders. The prince has been chosen, and no one can change it. Why write a letter of guarantee? If it gets out, it will just make people laugh!"
Shen Ruoyan said quietly, "My grandmother once told me that Kang Ge was just an adopted son and it wouldn't have any impact on me. But later, she told me that he was the Marquis's biological son, and he was even about the same age as Yan Er!"
She spoke clearly and angrily, "Grandma's words are irrelevant. I just wanted to give Yan'er more protection, isn't that right?"
Shen Ruoyan seemed to be irritated and raised her voice, "If after Lu Ankang is brought back, grandma and the marquis like him more than Yan'er, then will they also replace Yan'er as the prince for him?"
Her worries are not groundless.
But what Madam Lu and Lu Jing did was really hard to believe.
Their words were like farts, sprayed out with a puff - if you confront them, you will only be hit with a face full of stench!
Lu Jing recalled that the promise he had made to Chen Ruoyan before seemed to have never been fulfilled. Moreover, he and his grandmother had indeed been deceiving her.
She even guessed correctly about the replacement of the crown prince.
He is now so valued by the emperor, how can the future prince be a mute?
Not to mention that his grandmother disagreed, even he couldn't stand it.
Lu Yan is the stain in his life. The reason why he can be tolerated to continue to occupy the position of the prince is also for the sake of the Shen family's face.
If the status of the Marquis' Mansion becomes higher than that of the Shen Family in the future, then...
Shen Ruoyan's eyes slowly turned red, and she looked extremely aggrieved.
It seemed like she had been holding these words in her heart for a long time, and now she finally found the opportunity to say them out loud.
It was rare for Mrs. Lu not to answer immediately, not because she felt guilty, but because she was weighing the pros and cons.
For Lu Ankang, is it worthwhile to break up with Shen Ruoyan, no, the Shen family?
The answer is obvious.
"Okay, if you're really worried, let A Jing write one for you. We're all family, so all this isn't necessary, but since you insist, let's write it."
Madam Lu finally relented and asked Lu Jing to write a letter of guarantee to Shen Ruoyan on the spot.
Not only was Lu Jing's name on it, but it also had his personal seal. No matter where he went, he couldn't deny it.
This is different from the previous one. It is clearly written above that no matter how many descendants Lu Jing has in the future, no matter what happens to the Marquis' Mansion, as long as Lu Yan is there, he will be the Marquis's eldest son and the only heir!
The weight of this letter of guarantee is heavy.
Madam Lu stared at Shen Ruoyan, and when she saw her put the letter of guarantee away and put it close to her body, her indifferent eyes began to show deep meaning.
Take it.
I can still hold this piece of paper and feel some comfort.
Later, they will naturally find a way to turn this piece of paper into useless waste paper!
After bringing Lu Ankang back, I will give him a legitimate identity. Then we will see who is more promising between him and Lu Sinian - only the most outstanding person can become the final owner of the Marquis' Mansion!
Mrs. Lu hid these thoughts in her mind even from Lu Jing.
She doesn't trust anyone, and over the years, she has endured all the ups and downs alone.
So the person she trusts most is only herself.
When Lu Jing inherited the Marquisate, it was the last resort.
If Madam Lu had other choices at that time, she would not have put herself in such a passive situation now.
However, what happened back then is in the past. People cannot always look back on the past. The future is more important.
Seeing that Shen Ruoyan had put it away properly, Madam Lu smiled confidently and said, “Are you relieved now?”
Shen Ruoyan nodded, pretending to be relieved, and no longer as indifferent as before, and said with a smile: "I am also doing this for the child. Grandma has also been a mother, I believe she will understand my good intentions."
The older you get, the spicier you become. You can scheme, so why can't I?
How can it be possible to bring back that cheap concubine's son without paying anything?
Shen Ruoyan smiled and said, "Grandma, since Brother Kang is not in good health, let's bring him back as soon as possible. However, after he comes back, I will tell him where to place him so that I can have people prepare in advance."
Now she spoke more readily. Madam Lu sneered in her heart, but her face was very kind. "You can arrange these small matters. But when the child comes back, we can't make it too conspicuous. I believe you have your own considerations."
You just don't want to be disturbed?
Shen Ruoyan snorted in her heart. This pair of grandparents and grandchildren were rare to care about Lu Ankang.
Is it because of the deep friendship between Fang Rou and Lu Jing, or is there some other reason?
It seems that we need to investigate this matter carefully.
