"My Lord, please be patient."
Although Shen Ruoyan didn't want to pay attention to this fool, who made him the Marquis?
Just like when the emperor was incompetent and tyrannical in the past, she couldn't stand it, so could she replace him?
The female emperor in history books is rare. The right time, right place and right people are all essential.
She thought that she did not have that much ability. Instead of forcing herself to gain that tremendous power, it would be better for her to make use of her strengths and work peacefully behind the scenes.
Just like now, Lu Jing appears to be the one in charge of the Marquis' Mansion, but in fact, the person standing behind him is Shen Ruoyan!
"Song Er has failed in his duty, so naturally someone will investigate and judge his fault. Once his identity as a spy is confirmed, he will not be able to escape prosecution no matter what." So Lu Jing didn't need to take action, because Song Er couldn't escape this time.
If it were in the past, whether Lu Jing wanted to take revenge privately or publicly, Shen Ruoyan didn't care.
But this time, we can't do that!
Such a good opportunity will never come again, so you must not miss it!
"My Lord, you don't know. I once heard my grandfather say that the emperor dislikes ministers who constantly criticize others. The more tolerant you are, the more favored you will be by the emperor."
Shen Ruoyan’s grandfather?
If these words really came from her grandfather, then they are indeed very credible.
"You mean that I should be tolerant and generous to Song Er and not care about his mistakes? In this way, I can leave a good impression on the emperor?" Lu Jing thought about the feasibility of this matter, but his brain capacity was limited and he really couldn't figure it out.
In the end, I could only ask blankly: "Is this okay?"
Shen Ruoyan: "My Lord, please believe me!"
Her eyes were sincere and her words were earnest, as if Lu Jing's disbelief would be like smashing her true heart into pieces!
"Okay, let me try..."
Lu Jing's attitude seemed hesitant, but Shen Ruoyan knew that he had listened to him.
To deal with someone like Lu Jing, you have to let him experience complete confidence, because he has no opinions of his own, so he will subconsciously escape and make choices.
If at this time, there is someone next to him who is very confident and stands on his side to help him come up with ideas.
Then, this person is the military advisor in his heart!
The previous Shen Ruoyan couldn’t do it, but that doesn’t mean the current Shen Ruoyan has no way.
Sure enough, the news soon spread that the person who stabbed Lu Jing and was captured that day was indeed a spy from the enemy country!
Not only that, a simplified version of the Shengjing topographic map was also found on him - if this thing were to be circulated, who knows how much damage would be caused!
The emperor was furious. He ordered a thorough investigation and strict control of the entire Shengjing. Even if a fly flew in, its ancestors would have to be investigated!
And Lu Jing followed Shen Ruoyan's instructions and did not mention Song Er's dereliction of duty when the people from above came to investigate the situation.
He only said that he found the man's behavior suspicious and rushed forward without thinking too much. He thought he was just an ordinary scoundrel, but he didn't expect that the other party's martial arts skills were so high, which is why he was tricked.
"Sir, I felt at the time that this person's identity was extraordinary. So I would rather risk my life to stop him." Lu Jing said it in a serious manner, and even his expression was in line with what Shen Ruoyan said, pretending to be relieved:
"Fortunately, no one escaped, otherwise, it would have become a disaster for our Dasheng!"
The official who came to investigate nodded and said, "My Lord is indeed the descendant of a military commander, loyal and courageous!"
He wrote all of this down, and even embellished it a bit, making sure that anyone who read it would be moved by Lu Jing's selfless spirit.
Of course, he would never admit it, but it was because of the bag of gold leaves that the wife of the Marquis of Changning stuffed into his pocket before he left.
Is he that kind of person?
"Madam, what did you give him just now?"
Lu Jing stuck his head out and saw everything that had just happened clearly. He was a little unhappy. Although he was born in a marquis's mansion, every step he took was made by himself.
It’s not that he doesn’t know how to use these tricks, he just disdains them.
His thoughts were easier to guess than fish in clear water. Shen Ruoyan walked over with a smile and did not hide it. “I brought a bag of gold leaves for you, sir. Although it is not worth much, it is also a token of my appreciation.”
As soon as Lu Jing frowned, Shen Ruoyan stretched out his finger and pressed it on his brow, interrupting the spell.
"My Lord, I know you disdain to do these things, because you have always been upright." Shen Ruoyan looked at him admiringly, as if he was looking at a great hero, which made Lu Jing's shoulders stand up involuntarily.
But the next second, her tone changed and she sighed softly:
"But Lord, I am your wife. What I care about most is whether you are doing well outside and whether you have suffered any grievances. So, you can rest assured and leave these matters to me."
Shen Ruoyan smiled gently, like the spring breeze in early spring, blowing on the face, making people feel warm but not hot.
"You don't have to do this." Lu Jing felt a little uncomfortable when he said this.
The tone was no longer as firm as before.
To put it bluntly, disdain just means not wanting to do it yourself. If someone can do it for you, why not do it?
Shen Ruoyan would not expose these little thoughts. As a man, face is more important than life. What's more, it's a man like Lu Jing who likes to find a sense of existence in women?
"But my lord, I won't feel at ease if I don't do this." Shen Ruoyan raised her head affectionately. Unknowingly, she had sat next to Lu Jing, slightly lower than him, and did not seem to have any intention of attacking him.
"I just want to make the Marquis more satisfied, so please don't stop me."
Shen Ruoyan looked at him earnestly, the affection in his eyes full to the point of overflowing.
If Lu Jing was really a man of firm stance, he should have refused without hesitation at this moment. As he said, he was hurt, not stupid. Shen Ruoyan hinted so clearly, did he really not know what Shen Ruoyan wanted to do?
He considered himself to be invincible in the officialdom and scoffed at forming cliques and giving gifts to curry favor.
In this case, he should reject the plans his wife has made for him!
"Forget it. If you insist on doing so, then it's up to you." Lu Jing turned his eyes away, as if he didn't want to look into those watery eyes, as if he didn't know about these things.
He has always been good at deceiving himself and others.
"Anyway, I didn't ask you to do this..."
The sound was even lower than that of a mosquito. If Shen Ruoyan hadn't been close by, he probably wouldn't have been able to hear it clearly.
She smiled gently, as if she couldn't see Lu Jing's true thoughts, and said softly: "Yes, it's all my own plan, and it has nothing to do with the Marquis."
[You've taken all the benefits, you really don't want to suffer any loss at all! ]
But it’s okay, this is Lu Jing.
If he didn't do this, it would be troublesome...
