When Chunxi came back to report, Shen Ruoyan was still writing.
The night was too late and her heart was restless. Only when she was writing could she feel the sense of security that she was writing about the world.
"Madam, Madam Xue went to Concubine Fang and warned her to stay away from Master Kang."
For fear of being discovered, Chun Xi didn't dare to get too close. Fortunately, Fang Rou and Nanny Xue thought no one was paying attention, so they kept the noise down. But later, the two of them started arguing, and the noise unknowingly became louder.
Let her hear it clearly.
"Oh? Do you remember now?" Shen Ruoyan put down the pen, took the handkerchief handed to him and wiped his hands, "Unfortunately, it has been discovered."
Chunxi and Qiuye are now her confidants. In front of them, Shen Ruoyan did not hide it so tightly anymore.
"The old lady is old and has started to get confused. Since Concubine Fang wants to get close to Brother Kang, why stop her? Isn't this unearned maternal love better for Brother Kang?"
Suddenly, the sound of rain was heard outside the house. Some people were sleeping soundly, but they didn't know that the weather in the mansion was about to change.
The words written by Shen Ruoyan were blown up by the wind. Chun Xi hurried forward to hold them down, only to see that there was only one word written on it - Attack!
"Go visit the young master more often tomorrow. Aunt Fang loves her son dearly, and as a kind mistress like me, I naturally have to help her..."
Maybe Aunt Fang has been particularly sincere in burning incense and praying to Buddha recently. In addition to Shen Ruoyan, there are quite a few people who have come forward to help.
"Brother Kang, are you done with school?"
Liu Lu came over again with a bamboo basket, but this time, it was filled with some fresh fruits and vegetables.
She doesn't have that much patience, so she has to cook different meals for herself every day.
"Come here quickly, auntie. You must be thirsty after studying for so long." As she said that, she looked at Lu Yan and Lu Changchuan beside her, and asked with a smile if they wanted to join her.
"So the prince and I are just here by the way? Then we won't come!"
Lu Changchuan was quite principled. He could see that Aunt Liu was not asking them sincerely.
I'm not an ignorant child, so why do I need these little things?
He pulled Lu Yan out and said, "Prince, let's go back to our own courtyard to eat! Mother must have prepared something for us!"
On ordinary days, if Shen Ruoyan did not send anyone to deliver things, then when they returned, they would definitely be filled with a dazzling array of things, all fully prepared.
However, the people in this mansion always looked down on others. Seeing that Old Madam Lu paid more and more attention to Lu Ankang, they subconsciously treated the two of them as abandoned children. Except for the servants in the Madam's courtyard, everyone else often treated them with great indifference.
He was fine, as he didn't come from a noble family.
But the prince, he used to be such a dazzling existence, but now he is being bullied by these people just because he can't speak. It's really hateful!
He was used to the fickleness of human nature. He didn't feel it when it happened to him, but when it happened to the prince, he couldn't stand it.
Because in Lu Changchuan's opinion, people like Lu Yan should stand high, instead of being trampled in the mud...
Lu Yan was silently pulled forward by him. Rather than being angry, he was more curious as to why Concubine Liu, who had always treated everyone equally, suddenly changed her ways?
He knew that Aunt Liu respected his mother. Even though she was a mute, she would not be like other people who said one thing in public and another in private.
She must have a reason for doing this!
Liu Lu didn't know that her abnormal behavior was seen through by a child.
She thought, since everyone has done this before, if she does the same, others will just think she understands it and won't find it unusual.
When everyone is doing something, whether it is right or wrong, as long as you don’t fit in, you are the one who is wrong.
And when you realize your mistake and turn back, they will open their arms to you without any grudges, just like now.
"Madam Liu also wants to imitate Madam Fang and curry favor with Master Kang?"
The maids next to them were discussing in a low voice, and Liu Lu couldn't hear it, but Xiao Tao, who was following her, pricked up her ears and hid behind the garden, and heard it clearly.
"What's the use? She's just a concubine. Do you really expect the young master to recognize her as his mother in the future?"
Even the servants thought Fang Rou's actions were hopeless. Now that Concubine Liu had come along, in their eyes, she was nothing more than a useless and futile effort.
If you have that much time, you might as well try to please the Marquis and have a child of your own!
Xiao Tao kept these words in mind. After the two girls left, she quietly came out from behind, came in front of Liu Lu, and whispered softly.
"I see. You did a great job."
Liu Lu smiled and shook her hand. Xiao Tao lowered her head and a piece of silver fell into her hand!
She held it tightly, her eyes full of joy. She glanced at Kang Ge who was still eating fruit, and quietly retreated.
"Brother Kang, is it delicious?" Liu Lu deliberately made herself look gentle and said with a smile, "Which one do you like better, this or Aunt Fang's?"
Children's brains are not flexible, especially Lu Ankang.
Hearing this, without even thinking, "It's Aunt Fang's!"
"Why?" Liu Lu coaxed, "Auntie likes Brother Kang, and she also wants Brother Kang to like me. Tell me what Auntie Fang likes, and I'll learn from her."
These words came one after another, making Lu Ankang confused.
He thought about it but couldn't come up with a rough idea.
After holding it in for a long time, he finally replied hesitantly: "Madam Fang is good to me..."
Liu Lu took advantage of the victory and asked him again what Aunt Fang did to him. But this time, Lu Ankang kept his mouth shut. He either didn't answer or just started eating - he seemed to have become a bit more cunning!
The mission started off badly, but it’s okay. The information we can get from Lu Ankang is limited.
When she came, Liu Lu was already mentally prepared.
Outsiders only thought that she was here to please Lu Ankang, but only she knew what she really wanted to do.
From then on, Liu Lu never mentioned Aunt Fang in front of Lu Ankang again. She only focused on sending him food and drinks, or finding some rare toys from outside to please Lu Ankang.
Fang Rou was alert and told Lu Ankang not to have any contact with Liu Lu anymore.
But Lu Ankang was unwilling to do so, as he was still holding the crickets that Liu Lu had brought back from outside!
"I don't! Aunt Liu treats me well, why should I ignore her?" Lu Ankang was a smart kid with clever ideas that he used inappropriately. He looked at Fang Rou suspiciously, "Is it because you think she treats me well that you're worried that I'll recognize her as my mother?"
Even though the Madam was nice to me before, my mother would still speak ill of her and tell me to stay away from her.
With the previous lesson, Lu Ankang was very sensible this time:
"Isn't it good to have one more person treat me well? Mom, just because you are unhappy, do you want others to be unkind to me?" He has his own logic. Once he makes up his mind, no one can pull him back. Fang Rou was so angry that her face changed!
How could she give birth to such a stupid son!
