"Ruoyan, we are sorry for you about this matter."
It was a rare occasion for Lu Jing to have a change of heart, mainly because he was so disappointed with Old Madam Lu.
My ideas have never been taken seriously by my grandmother.
It was like this before and it is like this now.
Lu Jing no longer doubted Fang Rou's words. At this moment, there was no need for her to lie.
Therefore, it was really Lu Ankang who poisoned Lu Sinian!
In order to protect him, his grandmother chose to indulge him when she saw Lu Ankang pushing his biological mother to take the blame.
Lu Sinian has a weak disease, which means he is useless to his grandmother!
She would not allow such a flawed person to inherit the Marquisate, so even though she knew Lu Ankang's evil ambitions, she chose to turn a blind eye. She would rather save Lu Ankang than give Lu Sinian justice.
What about him?
My grandmother always puts the interests of the Marquisate first, cannot distinguish right from wrong, and acts arbitrarily... Before it was Lu Yan, now it is Lu Sinian, so will he be the next one?
If he, the Marquis, affects the development of the Marquisate, will my grandmother be able to be ruthless and remove the obstacles?
Lu Jing didn't dare to think about it, because he was unsure.
"You mean, it was Grandma who harmed Yan'er back then?!" Shen Ruoyan suddenly raised her head and looked at Madam Lu. She almost choked out a sob: "Grandma, why? Why on earth is this happening?!"
"Why?"
At this point, Madam Lu knew that there was no room for recovery.
She sneered, "There's no reason. I can only blame it on his high birth. It's just fate..."
It's all fate?!
Shen Ruoyan was disdainful in her heart. If it really was a matter of fate, Lu Yan's fate should not be like this at all!
The one who should really accept her fate is Madam Lu!
However, her face was still filled with shock, and she clutched her chest and burst into tears. "Yan'er respects you so much. No matter how you treat him, he always tells me that he loves Grandma the most. Are you doing this to him and worthy of his filial piety?!"
When Lu Yan was mentioned, Mrs. Lu's heart still shuddered.
She once had hope for Lu Yan, but in the end, she chose to give up because of his inseparable relationship with the Shen family.
If his biological mother was just a powerless daughter of an official, Lu Yan would definitely be the most qualified heir in Old Madam Lu's mind - but unfortunately, he is not.
"I'm sorry for him."
All that was finally exchanged for was just such a light sentence.
Shen Ruoyan felt aggrieved for Lu Yan!
He used to trust his relatives so much and relied on them wholeheartedly. Even after he became mute and was despised, he still looked for the reasons in himself, thinking that he had brought shame to the Marquis' Mansion and that was why he was treated like this.
But what did such a kind child get in return? !
One sentence?!
I’m afraid even the emperor’s words are not so precious, right?
There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart. Shen Ruoyan's tears dried up, and when she looked at Madam Lu, there was only disappointment and sadness in her eyes.
"Yan'er doesn't need your apology, you don't deserve it!"
She rarely got so angry in front of others, and she even almost broke down.
But everyone present did not think this was abnormal, but rather felt admiration - even in such a situation, she was still able to maintain her rationality. She was worthy of being the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, and had an extraordinary demeanor!
"I will never give up on what happened today! Since you are ruthless, don't blame me for being ungrateful!" Shen Ruoyan's eyes slowly swept over everyone, and the look in his eyes was full of warmth, which made Lu Jing couldn't help but take a few steps back.
He knew that this meant he would not let it go.
But now he no longer cares.
"Madam Lu, since you said that his birth was Yan'er's fault. Just because he came out of my belly, he has to suffer such great injustice. Then now, I will let you see whether his birth is wrong or not!"
"My Shen family will never give up on this matter!"
After Shen Ruoyan threw down these two harsh words, he left on the spot!
After she returned, she ordered people to pack up everything, including Lu Yan's belongings, and took them all away. She moved out of the Marquis' Mansion with her people that same day!
Making such a big noise is bound to attract other people's attention.
Especially, Shen Ruoyan has no intention of hiding it.
Whenever anyone came to ask about her out of curiosity, she would ask the maidservants around her to explain everything in detail, answering all the questions, making sure everyone knew why she wanted to move out of the mansion with her son!
So, the next day, almost everyone in Shengjing City knew that the prince of Changning Marquisate had become mute because of Madam Lu!
Moreover, Lord Lu was keeping a mistress outside and took her back under the name of a distant relative. By some strange coincidence, he stole the poison from the old lady and killed the newborn son!
Each and every one of these things makes people amazed!
The storytellers kept drinking tea, their mouths dry! But if they changed the script, they wouldn't listen, they just wanted to hear about the things happening in Changning Marquis' Mansion!
"Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous!"
The matter became so serious that the emperor naturally knew about it.
Lu Jing and Shen Ruoyan, one was his savior, the other was the savior of the Queen Mother, and now it has become like this, how can he manage it?!
There were already so many troubles, and now there are these troubles. He wanted to catch the old lady of the Lu family and execute her!
"Your Majesty, the Shen family has received the news and has rushed to Shengjing. They say that Mr. Shen has come in person..."
Shen Mo? !
The emperor was shocked. The previous emperor had requested Shen Mo many times, but Shen Mo refused to return to the court and only wanted to stay in his own little place and be accompanied by books.
He did not attend Shen Ruoyan's wedding in person, but the dowry he gave to Shen Ruoyan shocked everyone and made the noble ladies in Shengjing City envious!
Now that Shen Ruoyan has been bullied like this in her husband’s family, as a grandfather, he naturally wants to seek justice for his granddaughter.
But the emperor didn't expect that he would come to Shengjing in person!
Now, we are in big trouble!
Just as the emperor had guessed, Shen Mo was still on the way, but memorials impeaching Marquis Changning were continuously sent to him in the court.
Shen Mo's disciples are spread all over the court. They are low-key in daily life, but when they are really needed, they will rise up and attack!
This is also the reason why the late emperor did not hesitate to put aside his status as an emperor and even wrote three letters to ask Shen Mo to come out of seclusion.
If it weren't for the fact that the emperor couldn't leave Shengjing easily, the emperor thought that the late emperor would have wanted to go and bring Shen Mo to Shengjing himself!
If it were any other time, when Shen Mo came to Beijing, he would definitely welcome him with a line of people.
But now, he went to Beijing to seek justice for his granddaughter - this giant Buddha... gave the emperor a headache!
