Shen Ruoyan didn’t know how lethal a child was.
But obviously, it was better than she imagined!
"I don't want you to be my mother anymore. You don't love me at all!"
When Fang Rou found Lu Ankang, who had skipped school on his own accord, and tried to persuade him, what she got was these heartbreaking words from her own son.
Her heart felt like it was stabbed with a knife, blood was flowing down, and she didn't dare to touch it.
"Brother Kang, how can you say that? I have done so much for you! You are simply tearing my mother's heart apart by saying that!" Lu Ankang is her future, but the way he looks at her at this moment is as if he is looking at an enemy.
"What do you mean by 'for me'? It's all for your own sake!" Lu Ankang said angrily.
He had heard from the servants that his mother should be Shen Ruoyan, who was the mistress of the mansion, and her son was the noble young master of the marquisate.
Aunt, you are not qualified to raise a son!
“You are just a concubine in the mansion, you are not my mother, my mother is Shen Ruoyan, the mistress of the Marquis’ Mansion!”
Children don't think before they speak, and what's more, Lu Ankang now holds a grudge against Fang Rou, and his words are merciless, with every word stabbing her in the heart.
He had begged Madam Lu, begged Shen Ruoyan, and even ran to Lu Jing, but none of these could change the fact that he had to continue studying.
Lu Ankang had finally gotten the opportunity to study under Pei Rushi, but it was ruined by Fang Rou. He vented all the grievances and resentment in his heart on Fang Rou!
"Don't bother me anymore, I hate you!"
Lu Ankang ran away, taking all of Fang Rou's hope and strength with him.
She covered her face and stood there in pain, not knowing why she and her son had become like this.
After hearing this, Lu Jing came to her room to comfort her. "Brother Kang is just a child throwing a tantrum. Don't take it to heart. Wait a few days, and he'll be fine."
He didn't take it to heart. Children are just like that. They say they hate you today and love you tomorrow. They have a very short memory.
When he was young, he said that he would rather be a free beggar than be the prince of a marquisate - but in the end, he still became a marquis!
Brother Kang is young and doesn’t think before he speaks. Just listen to him and forget about it. There’s nothing to take seriously.
But Fang Rou obviously didn't think so. After all, he was the son she had carried for ten months and gave birth to. She knew in her heart that this was not as simple as a child's nonsense.
"My Lord, Brother Kang truly despises me. He despises my low status and thinks I'm unworthy of being his mother. But what have I done wrong? I went through so much hardship when I was pregnant with him, I almost lost my life. Why should the son I worked so hard to give birth to ask someone else to be his mother?!"
Fang Rou's emotions were close to collapse, and even her self-proclaimed attitude changed.
Fortunately, Lu Jing didn't care. He just held her in his arms with heartache, "Rou'er, I know that letting you enter the Marquis' Mansion as a concubine is unfair to you. Don't worry, this is only temporary. One day, I will let Brother Kang call you mother with dignity!"
Fang Rou is his woman, but after marrying him, she has always been wronged.
Lu Jing felt that his dignity as a man was challenged. When he married Fang Rou, he originally intended to make her his equal wife.
However, after being scolded by his grandmother, he compromised.
But now seeing Fang Rou like this, Lu Jing felt very guilty.
He once promised to give Fang Rou a good life, but he has not done so until now.
The love Lu Jing showed Fang Rou was often no longer out of love. Without Lu Jing realizing it, this love had become a way to make up for a debt.
To make up for Fang Rou is also to make up for himself.
The incident of favoring a concubine over his wife has not stopped yet, but Lu Jing has already begun to ignore it.
After taking a few days off, he acted as if nothing had happened and started walking around the streets, having fun as if nothing had happened, which made many noble families look down on him.
Old Madam Lu was worried that Lu Jing's high profile would anger the emperor.
So she sent Shen Ruoyan a lot of good things and asked Nanny Xue to make a special trip to ask Shen Ruoyan to be more understanding. After all, husband and wife are one, sharing honor and disgrace, so they should not be too willful in everything.
"Madam, you know that the Marquis' Mansion was not well-received by His Majesty before. If this matter is not resolved, I am afraid that the Marquis's future career will be affected. By then, Madam, your position as the mistress will be uneasy."
I have to say that although what Nanny Xue said sounded harsh, it did make sense.
Shen Ruoyan wanted to use this incident to slap Lu Jing in the face.
But if you really hurt yourself, it would not be worth it.
The Marquis' Mansion will be her base in the future, so she will naturally not let Lu Jing affect the future of the Marquis' Mansion.
However, she didn't show it when she replied, "Grandmother, you really think too highly of me. I'm just a woman in the harem. How can I influence the emperor's mind? I didn't spread those rumors outside. It's just that justice is in the hearts of the people."
"This..." Nanny Xue smiled awkwardly, "Is Madam feeling better?"
People outside said that the mistress of the Changning Marquis's Mansion was sick from anger and would not live long.
This made the rumor even more lively.
If Shen Ruoyan could appear in front of everyone in good condition, the rumor would naturally be refuted.
Shen Ruoyan's eyes moved, and her gaze fell on those things. As Nanny Xue waited patiently, she said softly after a long time: "It's ready."
Nanny Xue replied with satisfaction.
After she left, Qiu Ye said sarcastically, "Usually, the old lady would never leak out even a single leak of these goodies. This time, she's spent a fortune!"
