Shen Ruoyan smiled and said, "It's quite a coincidence. This man set the fire and panicked, so he ran straight to the gatehouse. The servants saw that he was acting suspiciously and arrested him on the spot. Without much torture, he confessed everything."
"What did you confess?" Lu Jing rushed over after hearing the news and just happened to hear this.
He was still in shock, and couldn't quite recover. "Where's Rou'er? Did you find Rou'er?"
When Qiu Ye went there, he did not tell Lu Jing that Fang Rou was dead, but only said that no one was found at the scene.
So Lu Jing thought that Fang Rou had run away.
"Ajing, Fang Rou is gone." Madam Lu said sadly.
"Gone?" Lu Jing was shocked. "What do you mean by gone?!"
Didn't Fang Rou already run away? How could she be gone?
Could it be that it was my grandmother who did it?!
Just at this moment, Madam Lu took advantage of the fact that Shen Ruoyan was not looking over here and winked at Lu Jing, which further confirmed Lu Jing's guess in his heart - it was his grandmother who did it!
She can't tolerate Rou'er!
"Why?!" Lu Jing couldn't believe it. When he heard the news that Fang Rou was gone, he was overwhelmed by great sadness and felt like he couldn't breathe!
“Why would you do that?!”
Lu Jing roared loudly, as if at this moment, he could only use his voice to vent his inner anger!
When he learned the truth of that year, he had no way to do anything for his grandmother who was devoted to the Marquis's Mansion. Even though he knew that his beloved woman was going to be abandoned, he could only choose to compromise.
However, even if Fang Rou is convicted, she will not be sentenced to death!
He even thought about how to operate behind the scenes. As long as Fang Rou's life could be saved, even if she was no longer in the Marquis' Mansion in the future, at least she would still be by his side.
But why didn't his grandmother even give him this chance?
That's the woman he loves most!
Madam Lu paused, and when she found that Shen Ruoyan was also looking at her doubtfully, she subconsciously raised her voice: “What are you talking about?”
She acted flawless, even extremely confused, "What does this have to do with me?"
Madam Lu glanced at the nanny and hinted, "A Jing and Fang Rou have been friends for many years. I'm afraid he can't bear this blow. Take him downstairs to rest first."
Are you going to kick us out?
There was a hint of sarcasm in Shen Ruoyan's eyes. How could I let you succeed?
"I think the Marquis is very sober, but why would he say that? Is there some hidden secret that I don't know?" Shen Ruoyan looked at Lu Jing innocently, as if he knew nothing, which deeply hurt Lu Jing's heart.
His wife trusted him wholeheartedly, but she didn't know that it was his grandmother who harmed Lu Yan.
His favorite concubine relied on him wholeheartedly, but she never expected that she would lose her life at the hands of her grandmother!
Lu Jing couldn't understand what was the point of being a marquis?
If he couldn't even protect the people closest to him, what would the honor and future of the Marquisate have to do with him?!
Otherwise, why do people say that Lu Jing and Fang Rou are a match made in heaven?
When they were in despair, both of them chose to throw in the towel and do whatever it took!
However, Fang Rou woke up in time and made the best choice for herself.
And Lu Jing was simply going crazy!
"Grandma, why did you harm Rou'er? She is innocent, don't you know it best? Why don't you even want to spare her life!" Lu Jing questioned Madam Lu again and again. Shen Ruoyan was horrified and quickly pulled the person back:
"My Lord! What are you doing? This is my grandmother!"
Respecting elders was the first request Lu Jing made to her after she entered the house.
Now, I am here yelling at my grandmother. What does it look like?
Lu Jing looked at her with red eyes, "She is not your grandmother, she is not worthy of being your grandmother! It's all because of her! All this is because of her. If it weren't for her, Rou'er wouldn't die, Si Nian wouldn't be poisoned, and Yan'er wouldn't become mute!"
Shen Ruoyan was shocked!
She let go of Lu Jing's hand as if exhausted, and asked in disbelief, "My Lord, what do you mean by this?"
"What he meant was that Madam Lu was the murderer who poisoned the prince, and Lu Ankang, by mistake, got hold of the poison she hadn't used up and used it on Lu Sinian, which led to his tragic death!"
Fang Rou walked in from outside, and the sunlight shone on her body, as if it was coated with a layer of dazzling light.
Lu Jing rubbed his eyes in disbelief and stepped back subconsciously: "Rou'er, has your soul returned?"
How come he can see ghosts in broad daylight?!
Fang Rou scoffed and walked in confidently. She was still wearing the same clothes she wore yesterday, but she looked much more disheveled. Besides the dirt on her face, the corners of her clothes were even burnt. No wonder Lu Jing misunderstood.
"My Lord, I am not dead. My worthless life is very durable and I escaped from it!"
Fang Rou looked directly into Madam Lu's eyes and refused to back down. "Madam Lu, what a shame! My plan to have you send someone to harm me has failed!"
"What on earth is going on?!"
Shen Ruoyan said in a state of collapse. She had received too much information and was completely overwhelmed.
Lu Jing looked at her with reluctance, and suddenly felt that marrying into the Marquis' Mansion and marrying himself was really cruel to Shen Ruoyan.
She was originally the legitimate daughter of a noble family, and her life should have been full of glory and dignity.
But in the Marquis' Mansion, she didn't enjoy any of these things. Instead, even her own son was made mute...
