All the tightly closed windows in the house have been opened, and the breeze from outside can't wait to rush in, bringing a touch of freshness to the dull air at night.
"Speak, Yan'er, speak."
Shen Ruoyan tried to lower her voice to appear less anxious, but her flashing eyes betrayed her emotions.
Lu Yan slowly opened his mouth. He looked at Shen Ruoyan and tried hard to make a sound, but when he got to the end, he was afraid...
"What's wrong? It's okay, just give it a try."
Doctor Xu was also beside him, his eyes, like Shen Ruoyan’s, were full of warmth and encouragement:
"Don't be afraid, my prince. You are fine now and can speak."
For so many years, Lu Yan has been living as a mute.
He was used to the days when he couldn't make a sound even if he screamed at the top of his lungs.
Even if he tried his best, all he got in response was rapid breathing and a dry and hoarse throat.
Now he tried to open his mouth slightly and make a sound softly:
"ah……"
"It's sent out! It's sent out!" Tears instantly filled Shen Ruoyan's eyes, which were the joy that came from being moved.
She looked at Lu Yan eagerly, holding back her sobs, "Yan'er, mother heard your voice!"
Not only her, but also Shen Ruoyan, the real Shen Ruoyan, finally heard the voice from her son at this moment!
She had been waiting for this moment for too long.
"Congratulations, Madam, congratulations, Prince!"
Chunxi and Qiuye were also happy. The prince and his wife finally got their happy ending after all the hardships they had endured!
Doctor Xu smiled and touched his rough beard. This trip was not in vain.
"Mom..." Lu Yan called out again. This time, without hesitation or retreat, he finally used his own voice to say what he wanted to say most!
“Hey!” Shen Ruoyan excitedly hugged Lu Yan into his arms, “Good son, you have suffered.”
Who could have imagined that all these sufferings and tortures would be inflicted on this child!
He should have been a child of destiny, but fate played tricks on him. Fortunately, everything has returned to its original place. Next, Lu Yan should take back what belongs to him!
"Doctor Xu, please keep the fact that Yan'er is able to speak confidential. These are turbulent times, and I don't want him to be disturbed."
Lu Yan had been very popular in the Imperial College before, but because of his mute identity, he was unable to really stand out.
But his name has been remembered by many people, even the emperor has heard of it.
Shen Ruoyan didn't want Lu Yan to show up at this time and attract attention.
Even if the Changning Marquis Mansion really has to be at the center of the storm, the person at the forefront cannot be him!
"Don't worry, ma'am. I understand."
Doctor Xu knew the pros and cons of this matter. Putting aside other things, just the fact that Lu Yan became mute was quite thought-provoking.
For such aristocratic families, keeping their mouths shut is their greatest duty.
After sending Doctor Xu away, Shen Ruoyan was still immersed in joy.
However, the expression on Lu Yan's face was still a little dazed.
Even though he had just made a sound, it still looked so unbelievable.
Is he really well now?
Can I speak now?
Will it be like before, that all of this is just a dream of his, and everything will be empty when he wakes up?
Lu Yan slowly raised his hand, and then suddenly pinched himself hard——
"it hurts!"
His face was twisted with pain, but followed by great joy!
It hurts!
It’s not a dream, it’s real!
He can really speak!
In front of others, Lu Yan always behaved calmly beyond his age. It was rare for Shen Ruoyan to see such a childish smile on his face.
Seeing him smile, she also smiled, "Yan'er, this is not a dream, you can really speak!"
Hearing this, Lu Yan started crying while smiling.
It’s not a dream, it won’t come to nothing, he is really fine!
He is no longer mute!
Except for Shen Ruoyan’s confidants, no one else knew that Lu Yan was able to speak.
Even when Doctor Xu came into the house, he used the excuse of giving her a routine medical consultation. He sent all the servants away, leaving only Chunxi and Qiuye by her side.
"Madam, Mr. Kang has already entered the mansion last night, and the old lady has asked him to stay in Qinglan Courtyard."
Qinglan Courtyard is closest to the old lady's place and Lu Jing's side, and is similar to all the other courtyards.
It seems that when Lu Ankang came back this time, the old lady still had some expectations for him.
I just don't know whether she and her biological mother Fang Rou have the same goal.
"Send more people to follow and report to me anytime. Also, have someone spread the word in front of this young master. He needs to know clearly how favored his good brother is."
Lest Lu Ankang become so ignorant of his own limitations as soon as he returns, thinking that he is still the young master of the Marquisate who is held in the palm of his hand by everyone in the mansion—
Shen Ruoyan was also doing this for his own good. If he accidentally offended this newly favored young master, his and his mother's lives would be difficult...
Chun Xi's eyes were filled with smiles. "I understand. I will definitely answer Mr. Kang's questions and resolve his doubts."
For Chunxi, these things are just trivial matters now.
She didn't even make any arrangements, but just asked a few maids to pretend to be casual and gossip in front of Lu Ankang.
Mr. Kang, who had just returned not long ago, couldn't help but run to the old lady, saying that he wanted to see his newborn brother!
"You're still young, why are you looking at your brother? Go back and review your lessons. When your father comes back, he'll test you!"
Old Madam Lu joked with a smile, but the meaning of her words was very clear. She didn't want Lu Ankang to see Lu Sinian.
Firstly, the child is still young, and Lu Ankang himself is still a half-grown child. If he gets bumped or hurt, it will be very troublesome.
Secondly, Lu Sinian’s existence is indeed not something to be happy about for Lu Ankang.
Old Madam Lu didn't think that Lu Ankang was simply interested in his younger brother.
I don't know if it was because that stupid woman Fang Rou said something she shouldn't have said in front of Lu Ankang that gave him this idea -
What an ignorant woman! She only cares about her own little piece of land and has no sense of the overall situation.
If the Marquis' Mansion is well, everyone will be well in the future!
No matter who inherits the Marquis' Mansion, as long as they can carry forward the Marquis' Mansion, why should they divide it so clearly?
Of course, except the one from Shen Jiasheng.
If Lu Yan inherits the Marquisate in the future, it will be uncertain whether the Changning Marquisate will be named after Chen or Lu!
Although the Shen family is also a famous family, they are all upright people and do not care about reputation.
Who can guarantee that they have no private thoughts about the achievements of the Marquis' Mansion?
