The change of owner of the Marquis' Mansion caused a huge sensation!
"Madam, how old is Lu Yan? Letting him take over the Marquis' Mansion now, isn't that reckless?"
"Yes! He's just a little kid, a mute at that. He couldn't even speak when he was bullied, so he had no choice but to go home to find his mother! Isn't it a joke to let him become a marquis?!"
These people were all from the Lu family's side branches. As soon as they heard the news, they quickly made an appointment to come over.
When those things happened in the Changning Marquis Mansion before, they all retreated, wanting to tell everyone that they had nothing to do with the people in the Changning Marquis Mansion and were not the kind of people with vicious hearts!
But now, he couldn't wait to come to the door, and his calculations were written on his face!
Madam Lu knew what they were up to and was filled with disdain. However, she didn't immediately turn her back on them because she knew they were still useful and couldn't be dismissed easily.
"So, what should we do?" She sighed deeply. "You've heard about what's going on outside. I've lived for so long, and I've experienced everything. I don't care to pay attention to these groundless rumors that are spreading so wildly. But the heir to this marquisate has been given a decree by the Emperor..."
Since the emperor asked Lu Yan to handle household affairs, his meaning was very clear.
Lu Yan is the new master, the new marquis!
This is an indisputable fact!
If anyone is dissatisfied, then they are dissatisfied with the emperor. Old Madam Lu looked at them coldly. These people did not seem to be unaware of these things.
"Yan'er is the Crown Prince, so naturally, this mansion will belong to him in the future. But he is still young and easily deceived, so he needs us, the elders, to help him."
That’s a clever thing to say!
Lu Yan is going to inherit the Marquis' Mansion. That was a decision made by the emperor himself, and no one can change it.
Although they all wanted to get a piece of the pie, they didn't have the courage to disobey the imperial order!
So they came up with a solution - to rule the country from behind the scenes!
Lu Yan is young, so naturally he needs someone to help him with ideas.
This person definitely cannot be from the Shen family, that is, his biological mother, otherwise, the entire Lu family will become a one-man show for this mother and son!
Therefore, it would be best if this person comes from the Lu family, and it would be most appropriate for them, the elders, to take the position.
"You guys are good at finding a way!" Madam Lu snorted coldly, too lazy to pretend anymore, "Do you think that if you tell them, they will buy it? Don't forget, behind Shen Ruoyan, there is the Shen family!"
If it weren't for this, how could she be in such a passive situation now?
Isn't it because she doesn't have the support of a noble family? !
Madam Lu hated Shen Ruoyan in her heart. What a daughter of an aristocratic family! She had no sense at all! She didn't even understand the simple truth that family disgrace should not be made public!
She has now made herself infamous, but it is of no benefit to Shen Ruoyan.
Now in Shengjing City, everyone knows that the eldest daughter of the Shen family is not easy to mess with. If you make her angry, she will really make a fuss and don't care about anything. So no one dares to provoke her.
Especially those famous and prestigious families, who pay more attention to reputation - even if Shen Ruoyan Ruoshi wants to marry again, no one will want her!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu finally let out a sigh of relief.
Doesn’t Shen Ruoyan think it’s amazing to have the Shen family’s support?
She wanted to see if the Shen family would still be so tolerant towards Shen Ruoyan when she became a divorced woman who was not even wanted to marry again!
"So what about the Shen family? No matter how powerful they are, can they go beyond propriety, integrity, benevolence, justice and morality?!" Someone in the crowd shouted. They had thought about this before coming.
The Shen family has a good reputation and cares most about these false names.
Lu Yan inherited the Marquis' Mansion, and they, the elders, took the initiative to step forward to help. Is there any reason to be rejected?
As the biological mother, Shen Ruoyan should avoid suspicion at this time, so as not to let people suspect that she wants to occupy the Marquis' Mansion and subsidize her mother's family - the emperor hates such things the most!
So they came prepared and had already made their plans.
The only variable is Madam Lu.
Although this old lady had done so many horrific things, because she was old and Lu Yan's elder, even the emperor was reluctant to convict her and pushed the matter onto Lu Yan.
If she interferes, it will indeed be a bit tricky.
That's why they came here together today, wanting to speak with one voice.
"The Shen family is just an ordinary family, so naturally we can't act arbitrarily. But, uncles, can you dare to pat your chest and guarantee that you have done it?"
Shen Ruoyan walked in from outside, holding her son's hand.
But within a few days, Mrs. Lu felt like she had become a different person. Even Lu Yan beside her looked different.
I don’t know how to put it, but it gives people a feeling that he is not easy to mess with.
"Hey, what kind of wind is blowing our young marquis here?" The leader was Lu Yan's second uncle, who was the backbone of these people. Seeing this, he avoided Shen Ruoyan's question and turned to look at Lu Yan.
He just doesn't believe that he can't control a little mute!
"Hello, Second Uncle."
"Okay, hello..." Second Uncle suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Lu Yan in disbelief, "Yan'er, you... you can speak now?!"
The voice he just heard was made by Lu Yan, right?
Even Madam Lu looked over in surprise, "Yan'er, are you alright?"
Impossible!
She had specially consulted someone back then, and it was difficult to cure Lu Yan after he was poisoned.
That's why she didn't invest too much energy in Lu Yan over the years.
In her eyes, Lu Yan had long been a discarded chess piece.
"Thanks to my grandmother, Yan'er met a traveling doctor this time. He actually had an antidote for the poison and now he is fully recovered." Traveling doctors are not unfamiliar to the people of Dasheng.
There are always some masters who don't like to be restricted, so they travel around the world.
However, the level of itinerant doctors varies greatly, and meeting a good one requires luck - Lu Yan has just inherited the Marquis' Mansion, and even his muteness has been cured. What kind of luck is this!
"Good, really good..." Second Uncle said with a sigh, but the expression on his face became more and more serious.
If Lu Yan gets better, the fact that he is mute can no longer be used as a target of attack. What should we do?
Old Madam Lu was still in shock. Is Lu Yan okay?
Can he speak now?
He was even personally named a young marquis by the emperor and took over the marquis's mansion?
So what's the point of all this she did?
What else can stop Shen Ruoyan? Protect the Marquis Mansion for her? !
No! No way!
Even if it costs her life, she will protect the mansion and everything that belongs to her!
