Chapter 233: Hope for the best



But Shen Ruoyan didn't want to give up, she was obviously angry.

"Now that Brother Kang is under suspicion, he should come forward and prove his innocence. Or does he have a problem with me, his mistress, and is unwilling to cooperate with even this little thing?"

Shen Ruoyan didn't mention anything else. The fact that she sent someone to invite Lu Ankang, but the other party turned a blind eye was enough for her to get angry!

To the outside world, Lu Ankang was just a distant relative's child. Not even an adopted son!

Since he was disrespectful to the mistress in the Marquis' Mansion, he will never be able to stand anywhere!

Madam Lu's expression stiffened. "Ruoyan, he's still a child after all. If he hasn't done it before, it might scare him. If it gets out, people might think our mansion is deliberately mistreating distant relatives."

A family like the Marquis's can still find distant relatives even in the deep mountains.

The more prominent the family, the more they value the reputation of their mansion. As long as someone comes to their door, they will be treated with courtesy.

If word spread that the Marquisate was treating distant relatives harshly, others would think they had become wealthy and no longer recognized their poor relatives.

Even if everyone knows that others are trying to take advantage of you, if you still do it, the fault is yours.

Shen Ruoyan understood this principle, but could Lu Ankang's identity be made public?

"Grandmother, if everyone in Shengjing City noticed this matter about our distant relatives, I'm afraid it wouldn't be a good thing, right?"

Use this to threaten her?

Is it her or themselves who are threatened?

Madam Lu paused for a moment, then her expression darkened. "Are you deliberately trying to go against me, an old woman?!"

She looked at Lu Jing again, "Look at the wonderful wife you married! I'm not even dead yet! And you already look down on me!"

Lu Jing felt a little embarrassed, and he was more inclined to let Lu Ankang come over.

If he didn't do it, then clarify it in person to avoid misunderstanding.

If he did it...

The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh, and Lu Jing's heart is extremely conflicted, not knowing what to do.

So he avoided the old lady's gaze, looked up at the sky, looked down at the ground, but didn't look into Madam Lu's eyes.

"Good-for-nothing!"

Old Madam Lu was so angry that she stomped her cane. She wanted to say something else, but at this moment, there was a sudden noise outside.

Shen Ruoyan's people have already brought Lu Ankang here!

"Let him go, let him go!"

Fang Rou followed behind, pulling all the time. However, the person holding Lu Ankang had no intention of letting go, and brought him steadily to Shen Ruoyan.

"Madam, the person has been brought here."

Fang Rou rushed up in a rage, and after hearing this, she almost wanted to punch and kick Shen Ruoyan!

Fortunately, she still had her sanity. "Madam, may I ask what you are doing?"

"These people brought Kang Ge here without knowing the truth! He's such a young child, how scared must he be?"

Shen Ruoyan already knew about Fang Rou and Lu Ankang's relationship, so she didn't hide it. She just pointed at Shen Ruoyan's nose and scolded her for being heartless!

"Whether it's indiscriminate or the evidence is irrefutable, I'd like to ask this child you're talking about to figure it out for himself."

Shen Ruoyan's expression didn't even change at all. It didn't matter to her what Fang Rou's mood was.

Since everyone keeps saying that Lu Ankang didn't do it, then please produce evidence!

"That day, I only saw Master Kang in the kitchen. It was someone he had sent to get me out of the way."

The nanny holding the lunch box recalled, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case:

"Master Kang must have deliberately sent this old servant away and then put the drug in it!"

Aunt Liu also said: "Yes, if it wasn't done by Master Kang, then if we search his room, as long as there's no medicine, then his innocence will be proven!"

"How dare you! You are so lowly, yet you dare to search the master's room? Who gave you the courage?"

Fang Rou shouted angrily, but Aunt Liu was not scared at all; she became even more disdainful.

"Whether it exists or not, we can find out by searching. Why are you so excited? Are you feeling guilty?"

And after all, when Fang Rou first entered the mansion, she was not a servant.

Now that she's half the master, she really thinks of herself as the queen—

Who is nobler than who?

At least, she is a decent woman with a clean conscience, unlike a maid like Fang Rou who only climbs into bed!

Fang Rou was furious, but the angrier she was, the more guilty she seemed in the eyes of others.

She subconsciously looked at Shen Ruoyan. Lu Ankang really hadn't thrown that thing away!

The Marquis' Mansion is under martial law, and there are guards everywhere. If you walk a little further, there will be people following you.

She wanted to help Lu Ankang hide, but she couldn't find a way. The medicine is still hidden in Lu Ankang's house!

This damn kid didn’t actually throw the things outside, but put them in his pocket and brought them back!

They cannot be allowed to search. If they really find anything, it will be openly considered as murder of the young master of the Marquis' Mansion. Lu Ankang will never be able to make a living in this life.

And in private, he was even plotting to murder his own brother!

"Brother Kang really didn't do this. I can guarantee it!"

"Madam Fang, what's the point of your guarantee? Besides, you have no relationship with Mr. Kang. Even if you like him, there's no need to rush to act as a guarantee, right?"

Qiu Ye stood behind Shen Ruoyan, looking arrogant, as if he was taking advantage of the power of others.

However, even Madam Lu did not speak out to stop her, let alone Lu Jing.

After all, beating a dog also depends on the owner, right?

Fang Rou is weak and alone, and as long as Lu Jing doesn't stand on her side, it will be useless no matter how much she talks.

If it was something else, Lu Jing might still pay Fang Rou.

But Lu Sinian is also his son, and he has been raising him under his nose since birth.

This is a feeling that even Lu Ankang had never experienced before!

Now that Lu Sinian has been poisoned, he wants to find the person who poisoned him more than anyone else!

Moreover, if Lu Ankang really did this, then was it him who did it, or was he instructed by someone with ulterior motives?

Right now, it’s still unknown.

"Come here, search! Not only should we search Mr. Kang's residence, but also the Crown Prince's residence! We should treat them all equally and leave no place unsearched!"

No one suspected Shen Ruoyan, and no one had ever said that the prince was even slightly suspicious.

However, Shen Ruoyan now took the initiative to speak, leaving Fang Rou even more helpless.

She even had the prince's residence searched, so what was Lu Ankang?

Now that he is not even an adopted son, does he still have to compete with the prince in status and position?

Fang Rou watched those people leave in a rage, and her legs almost went weak.

But Lu Ankang just stood there quietly, neither noisy nor noisy, with a deep look on his face, he really didn't look like a child.

Shen Ruoyan's heart skipped a beat. This expression...

I hope some people will just take care of themselves!
