After Lu Ankang came back, everything seemed calm and there were no major changes, but in fact, undercurrents were surging.
"Sister, there's someone living in Qinglan Courtyard. Servants come over to deliver food every day. I asked someone to secretly check, and they found all the food is for the master. Some of it is even better than what we have!"
Liulu noticed this and told Zhuhong immediately.
Now, thanks to Lu Sinian, Zhuhong's status in the mansion has risen sharply.
When she was a concubine, even a high-ranking maid could act arrogantly in front of her sisters, but now, who wouldn’t be respectful when seeing the elder sister?
Days like this made Liu Lu feel like she was dreaming. She hoped this beautiful dream could continue forever, never waking up.
Therefore, she would immediately notice anyone or anything that would threaten their status.
I will never let it go!
Zhu Hong also knew about this, but she seemed much calmer than Liu Lu. "It's Lu Ankang."
Zhu Hong had already noticed something the night Lu Ankang came back.
Although the Marquis came to see Lu Sinian that day, he seemed absent-minded, as if he had made an appointment with someone.
But at that time she was thinking that Fang Rou might be doing something strange. After all, since Lu Sinian was born, most of the Marquis's thoughts had been on this child. It was normal for Fang Rou to feel a sense of crisis.
So I always think of some little ways to attract Lu Jing's attention.
Many times, as if to compete with herself, she would often take advantage of Lu Jing being by her side and find various reasons and excuses to call him away.
Fang Rou thought that letting Lu Jing leave in front of her would make her feel sad, upset and even wronged.
Unfortunately, she was wrong.
She's probably the only one in this mansion who thinks this way.
Who cares?
"Sister, why did you bring Lu Ankang back at this time? Is it because of Si Nian?!" Liu Lu didn't understand and was even a little puzzled. "Don't the old lady and the marquis like Si Nian very much? Why do they still think of Lu Ankang?"
She and her sister had guessed before that Lu Ankang's identity was not ordinary.
However, now Lu Sinian is also Lu Jing's child on the surface. Can he not compare to Lu Ankang in terms of his treatment of his own biological child?
Zhu Hong smiled and shook her head. "For some things, just look at the surface and don't trust them too much. Sister, Lu Ankang is back, and he's not just targeting Si Nian. The person behind him has great ambitions..."
The relationship between Fang Rou and Lu Jing was completely clarified after they formed an alliance with the lady.
Although Lu Ankang was a concubine's son, he was the daughter of the woman whom Lu Jing loved most. As they say, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even though Fang Rou and Lu Jing were no longer as inseparable as before, their years of affection were still there.
This is indeed something that none of them can compare to.
Liu Lu was a little unconvinced. "Si Nian is smart and active, he will definitely be a rare talent in the future. Even if he is not so good, he is much better than Lu Ankang, that good-for-nothing troublemaker! Will the Marquis really choose Lu Ankang?"
Lu Sinian was their chess piece played openly. Although their intentions were not pure at the beginning, this child was indeed raised by the two sisters.
After wearing it for a long time, you will naturally develop feelings for it.
Now, Liu Lu really treats this child as her own relative.
This is especially true for Zhuhong.
"Don't worry, no matter what the Marquis chooses, it is none of our business. As long as we know what the Madam will choose, that's enough." Zhu Hong said with a smile.
They didn't get on Lu Jing's boat from the beginning.
So for Zhuhong, it made no difference who he and Old Madam Lu wanted to choose as the heir to the Marquis' Mansion.
What's more, judging from the current situation, it is still unknown who will be chosen to be the heir to the Marquis' Mansion!
The only thing she had to do was to take care of her own duties and not hold the lady back.
As for what happens next, there will naturally be blessings to enjoy!
Because of Zhuhong's persuasion, Liulu did not take any unnecessary actions. He just did what he had to do and did not cause any trouble.
However, Madam Lu couldn't help but tell the people in the mansion that she had brought a child back from a distant relative. Although they were distant relatives, the child looked very similar to the former Lu Ankang, so she felt that they had a good relationship and took the child back.
They said that the child had a miserable life and had suffered a lot of grievances from his relatives. Mrs. Lu was so compassionate that she brought him back.
Although the reason was lame, the master had already said so, and unless someone went crazy, the servants would not dare to say a word.
At least, not in front of the master.
As for what to discuss behind the scenes, Madam Lu and the others didn’t care, and Shen Ruoyan would not take it to heart even more!
Anyway, it wasn't her son she was talking about.
"Brother Kang, we have finally come to an end of all the hardship..." Fang Rou hugged Lu Ankang and cried bitterly.
Because Lu Ankang needed someone to take care of him after he came back, Madam Lu asked Lu Ankang to recognize Fang Rou as his godmother and raise him under her name on the grounds that Zhuhong and Liulu were busy taking care of Lu Sinian.
In another sense, mother and son have recognized each other!
Lu Ankang was not that affected. It made no difference to him who raised the child.
No matter what, he can't go out with the title of his father's biological son. What's the point?
Looking at Lu Sinian again, although his mother was also a concubine, she was a concubine who was married into the family in a proper way. Unlike his mother, who was hiding in secret and her marriage was not glorious.
As a result, he also lived such an undignified life.
He clearly once had the opportunity to be on equal footing with Lu Yan, but now he is not even as good as the baby Lu Sinian. If you tell others about this, people will laugh their heads off!
Lu Ankang was very dissatisfied with his current situation. He worked so hard and returned to the Marquis' Mansion from the manor, not to please an old lady!
He has more important things to do. The entire Lu family, the entire Marquis' Mansion, will belong to him in the future!
Lu Sinian's existence is a huge threat.
It would be nice if he could just disappear...
The afternoon sun still retained some heat, and Lu Ankang braved the scorching sun and came to Madam Lu's residence.
What a coincidence, Lu Sinian is also here.
Because the weather was hot, ice was already placed in the mansion. The old lady gave more ice, so she asked someone to bring Lu Sinian over.
After all, his biological mother was just a concubine. Even if she gave birth to a son, he could only enjoy the treatment of a concubine, which was no greater than the status of a concubine.
When Lu Ankang came in, he felt a cool breeze and couldn't help but quicken his pace. Before he had time to appreciate the coolness of the room, he heard a baby crying!
