"What did you say?"
Fang Rou turned her head stiffly, and even felt that she was too tired. Otherwise, why would she feel like she was hallucinating?
She didn't even know how to open her mouth, she just mechanically repeated: "What did you say?"
Lu Ankang didn't look at her, but explained anxiously to Lu Jing: "Dad, Mom asked me to do this, and told me not to tell anyone, otherwise she would not want me anymore!"
After he finished speaking, tears surged out like a tide, and everyone present was stunned!
Even Shen Ruoyan had never thought that Lu Ankang, at such a young age, could actually achieve such a level - this boy will definitely be a ruthless person in the future!
Fang Rou slowly got up from the ground and stumbled a few steps as she walked forward. She finally came to Lu Ankang and said, "Brother Kang, tell me again, who told you to do this?"
The shock on her face was beyond words. Lu Jing looked at his son and then at his favorite concubine. For a moment, he didn't know who to believe!
He subconsciously looked at Shen Ruoyan, seeking her opinion.
Old Madam Lu sighed secretly, it was really unbearable to watch!
"Brother Kang, you can't say that. How did it become Aunt Fang who ordered you to do that?" Shen Ruoyan smiled, but that smile was not gentle at all. She said to him coldly: "You have to think it through. After all, this is your biological mother..."
Fang Rou is not only Lu Ankang's biological mother, but also raised him alone. It was not easy for her to wait until Lu Jing took her and her son into the Marquis' Mansion.
Even Shen Ruoyan, a bystander, had to affirm that Fang Rou, as a mother, had done nothing wrong to Lu Ankang.
It is said that sincerity is rewarded with sincerity, but now it seems that none of her sincerity has been exchanged for anything!
"My mother taught me to do this!" Lu Ankang looked up, looking very innocent. "She said that I was just a child, and even if someone found out, they wouldn't believe I did it. As long as I refused to admit it, no one else would know."
His eyes were still red, and he was crying heartbreakingly, "But I really don't want to leave Dad! I don't want to go to the village anymore! Mom said that if I tell her, she won't want me anymore. Does that mean Dad won't want me either?"
Lu Ankang looked at Lu Jing pitifully, as if he had returned to his childhood.
He is always so lovable, making Lu Jing want to give him everything!
"Fang Rou! Is this how you teach your children?!" Lu Jing believed that children would not lie, not to mention that Lu Ankang was Fang Rou's biological son!
No one knows better than Lu Jing how much Lu Ankang likes this mother!
The fact that they could actually force him to this point, and obviously wanted to send him back to Zhuangzi, really frightened the child, and that’s why he hurriedly told the truth—
Great! He still felt a little sorry for Fang Rou, but he didn't expect that she was the one behind this!
Fang Rou didn't bother to pay attention to Lu Jing's accusations. There was no greater sorrow than a broken heart. She stared blankly at Lu Ankang, still unable to believe that her own child would treat her like this...
"Brother Kang, I'm your biological mother... Do you know that doing this will kill her?"
Lu Ankang was a child when he poisoned and murdered the bloodline of the Marquis' Mansion, and this was his biggest life-saving talisman.
But what about her?
She was just a concubine in the Marquis's mansion. Apart from Lu Jing's favor, she had no power or background. Once this crime was placed on her, at the very least, she would be banished to the "cold palace" or even sold directly into slavery!
Isn't that forcing her to die? !
Fang Rou almost rushed forward, she grabbed Lu Ankang's shoulders tightly, and shook him violently, "Tell me, why did you do this? Everything I have is for you, even at the cost of my life, but what about you?! Why do you do this to me?!"
She broke down.
No knife is sharper than the one stabbed by one's own son.
Fang Rou didn't know what sins she had committed in her previous life to be treated like this by her own biological son!
On the way here, she had indeed thought about how she would take the blame for Lu Ankang if he was found to be the culprit.
As long as her son could stay in the Marquis' Mansion, she didn't care how she lived.
As long as her son is around, she has a goal and the motivation to keep going!
However, this does not mean that she can accept her son taking the initiative to put this crime on her head!
Is this a child?
No, it's a demon!
Shen Ruoyan looked at this farce with a smile. Lu Ankang was able to adapt to the situation and would rather sacrifice his own mother to get himself out of it.
However, it would be too unfair if the price of doing something wrong could be forgiven so easily.
She is not a messenger of justice, but today, she wants to be a good person.
"Brother Kang, I will send someone to investigate whether Concubine Fang did this. I will also send someone to investigate whether you were instructed to do so or whether you made the mistake on your own initiative. A few words from you won't change the situation."
To Lu Ankang now, Shen Ruoyan's smile was like a demon from hell, opening its evil mouth.
He swallowed subconsciously, feeling a little timid.
But Lu Ankang clenched his hands tightly. He remained firm in his thoughts, "I really didn't do this. My mother forced me to do it..."
Yes, that must be the case. He is just a child and can't do anything.
Everything was forced upon him by his mother, it had nothing to do with him!
As long as he insists on this point, even if the evidence is irrefutable, he can still put the blame on his mother.
Who made them mother and son?
"Fang Rou, I know you're jealous of Zhu Hong, but you shouldn't have harmed her child! Fortunately, Si Nian escaped harmless, and you even dragged Kang Ge into this. You're really confused!"
Old Madam Lu was very disappointed with Fang Rou, so she followed Lu Ankang's advice and directly convicted her.
She was even quite compassionate, "Considering that you have served A Jing for so many years, I will spare you the death penalty but not the punishment of life. From now on, you will be demoted to a concubine."
Concubine?
Fang Rou found it funny and actually laughed out loud!
"Mrs. Lu, what makes you think that I have to stay here for the rest of my life and be tortured by you in the Marquis' Mansion?" Fang Rou laughed out loud. She looked at Lu Ankang coldly, as if she was a stranger.
This is the hope she holds on to, and also all her fantasies about the future.
But now, they were all destroyed by Lu Ankang himself!
If the child she has protected with all her heart and soul eventually turns the knife against her, then what is the point of her persisting?
Why does she live such a life of compromise?
What else is worth remembering?
