After changing his teacher, Lu Ankang became more cheerful.
Pei Rushi seems strict, but in fact, he doesn't ask for too much.
At the beginning, Lu Ankang was a little timid. Seeing others learning, he followed suit. Seeing others reading, he forced himself to read as well.
But he found that even if he didn't read, Pei Rushi didn't seem to hit his palm.
Lu Changchuan was so dedicated that he even practiced calligraphy after class, but all he got was a few words of praise from Pei Rushi.
It's just a few light compliments, why would it be worth his effort?
The first person to notice something was wrong was Fang Rou!
"Brother Kang, why are you out playing again? Didn't the teacher give you homework?" Fang Rou had just seen with her own eyes that Lu Yan and Lu Changchuan were doing their homework in the yard!
Lu Ankang was digging for worms around the tree roots. Hearing this, he didn't even look up: "The teacher said that this homework can be done or not, so why should I do it?"
Going to school, reading and writing every day is very tiring.
Only a fool would do that damn homework!
Fang Rou was shocked, "How could you think like that?!" She immediately thought of Shen Ruoyan, "Did Madam tell you not to do it?"
She knew that Shen Ruoyan had a son of her own, even if he was a mute, so how could she sincerely raise someone else's son!
This is going to ruin her brother Kang!
Who knew that Lu Ankang looked at her doubtfully, "Mom, why do you ask that? Mother didn't say anything. She doesn't come to the academy on weekdays."
The teacher is a man after all, so Shen Ruoyan rarely comes to the academy unless it is necessary. Even if there is something, he sends the maids and servants to come. He has been here for so many days and has never met him once.
But Fang Rou still didn't believe it. She slapped away the little bug that Lu Ankang had just found and said, "She must have told the teacher to leave you alone. Look at you, you can't even beat Lu Changchuan now, so why are you still playing with bugs!"
"Mom!" Lu Ankang was furious and pushed Fang Rou directly. "You just can't stand seeing me having such a good life! The teacher didn't say anything about me, and my mother didn't say anything about me, but you're the only one who keeps nagging me!"
He was furious, his eyes red with anger: "I am your father's son. Even if I don't study, I can live a good life. Why do you always force me to do things I don't like?"
"No, that's not the case..." Fang Rou panicked. She didn't understand why her son would think this way. This was the child she had carried for ten months and gave birth to. She wanted him to live a good life more than anyone else!
"Brother Kang, listen to what mother says. This is all for your own good. If you work harder now, you'll have a better life in the future!" Fang Rou pulled Lu Ankang, holding back her tears. "Believe in mother. They all want to harm you. Only mother truly cares about you!"
"I don't want it!"
Lu Ankang broke free from her hand and ran away as fast as he could, as if Fang Rou was some kind of monster, without the slightest hesitation.
"Shen Ruoyan! You really have a good method!"
Watching her son leave mercilessly, Fang Rou knew that if she continued like this, it would not work!
Lu Ankang was still a child, and how could a child like to study? Naturally, he wanted to play whenever he wanted. But Lu Ankang was Lu Jing's son, the future crown prince. If he continued to be raised like this, he would definitely become useless!
I heard that Lu Changchuan has made great progress recently, and even Mrs. Lu praised him in front of everyone.
Fang Rou felt that she had understood Shen Ruoyan’s plan.
As the head mother, if she supported another adopted son to be the crown prince, she would definitely worry that the crown prince would not treat her sincerely and would not provide for her in her old age. Therefore, she wanted to support a puppet of her own - Lu Ankang was obviously not one of them!
"You want Lu Changchuan to be the crown prince? Dream on! No one can stand in my son's way!"
Lu Ankang's incident made Fang Rou feel a sense of crisis.
That night, Lu Jing came off duty late. As soon as he walked into the yard, he saw a man standing under the peach tree in front of him.
She was dressed in white and had a pretty face, just like the pouring moonlight, pure and flawless.
It was as if I was back to Lu Jing, the day when I first met her.
"My Lord, I have been waiting here for you for a long time. However, I don't feel cold at all." Fang Rou raised the corners of her mouth and smiled gently: "Because when I think of you, my Lord, I feel that everything in this world is so beautiful and so desirable."
Yes, this is Fang Rou.
Fang Rou's heart and eyes are filled with only Lu Jing.
It was early spring, and the nights were still a bit chilly. Lu Jing couldn't help himself, so he walked over and put his coat on her.
"Why are you waiting for me?" Lu Jing seemed stiff, but in fact, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable emotion.
After all, it was a relationship that had lasted for many years. Fang Rou knew what he was thinking when she heard it, so she said aggrievedly: "I did something wrong before, and I don't ask for forgiveness, Your Majesty. I only ask that Your Majesty come to see me from time to time, or that I can see Your Majesty..."
She raised her head, her eyes full of love, "I really can't live without you, Lord."
Lu Jing sighed. He had promised Fang Rou that he would give her a home in the future. He did just that and brought her into the Marquis' Mansion.
If Fang Rou hadn't gone too far, he wouldn't have wanted the two of them to end up like this.
"Do you really know you're wrong?" Lu Jing asked.
But the tone has softened.
Fang Rou nodded quickly, "I already know my mistake, my Lord, please don't despise me. My Lord, I only have you..."
She had no father or mother, and after meeting Lu Jing, Lu Jing became her heaven. She gave birth to children for him and placed all her hopes on Lu Jing.
But now, there is one more Lu Ankang.
"It would have been nice if this had happened earlier..." Lu Jing sighed, but couldn't help but hug the man. "This is the Marquis' Mansion, not like outside. Even though I'm the Marquis, there are times when I can't help myself. You have to understand."
Can you forgive me for changing a concubine every day?
Fang Rou felt sad inwardly, but she didn't dare show it in the slightest.
"I understand."
Peach blossom petals fell in the night, and the news that Concubine Fang had regained her favor spread throughout the mansion the next day. Not only had Lu Jing lifted her confinement, but he had also gifted her with many silk and jewelry, which made Liu Lu's heart ache.
I originally thought that after Fang Rou regained favor, she would come to show off to them sisters in a proud and arrogant manner.
Liulu and Zhuhong have even thought of a countermeasure.
But they waited and waited, and after many days, Fang Rou still didn't come to cause trouble.
I heard that Fang Rou was very good at making soup, which caught the old lady's eye. From time to time, she would bring soup or something and run to the old lady.
The two sisters were confused. Was Aunt Fang changing her target? She felt that the Marquis's favor was unreliable and wanted to find the old lady as a backer?
There were many people who thought the same as them, but Shen Ruoyan smiled when she got the news.
"Mrs. Fang does have a good plan, but it's not for the old lady."
The teacup was placed on the table with a slight sound, and Shen Ruoyan slowly adjusted the hem of her clothes: “It seems that Aunt Fang is coming for me this time.”
