"Of course that's not what Mother meant. It's just that Aunt Liu wasn't nice to you before, so why is she suddenly so nice to you?"
Fang Rou patiently guided Lu Ankang to think slowly, "There have been rumors recently that you are my mother's child. She came to you at this critical moment, she must have no good intentions."
Never mind, never mind, the child was just protected too well by her before, and he is not very cunning.
Just teach slowly.
"But, mother, if she knew I was your child, she would not even have time to scold me, so how could she be nice to me?" Although Lu Ankang didn't quite understand, he also knew that his biological mother was of low status. If his true background was discovered, he might as well be an adopted son!
These words were heartbreaking, without any consideration for Fang Rou's feelings.
She was indeed of low status, otherwise, she would not have become Lu Jing's concubine.
However, she didn't expect that even her son would take it for granted... It really made her sad.
"Listen to my mother, she must have ulterior motives."
Fang Rou gradually lost her patience as she couldn't make sense of a child. Liu Lu's actions made her feel uneasy because she couldn't understand what Liu Lu meant by doing this.
Compared to confronting each other, it is more unsettling when you cannot clearly see your opponent's intentions.
After leaving Lu Ankang, Fang Rou felt more and more worried. She wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Lu Jing about this matter.
Lu Ankang is his son and the prince he has chosen in his heart. Even for Kang Ge's future, Lu Jing will not allow any mistakes!
Yes, this matter must be told to the Marquis!
No matter what Liu Lu's plan is, as long as the Marquis takes action, everything will be fine!
Lu Jing's injuries were slowly recovering, and as long as he didn't engage in strenuous exercise, he could walk, eat, and drink normally. Fang Rou had wanted to find an opportunity to sneak in when the guards outside Lu Jing relaxed.
Who knew that before she could do anything, all the eyes in the mansion turned to Lu Jing——
He got promoted!
Moreover, he was personally appointed by the Emperor and transferred directly to Fenglin Guard to be responsible for guarding the Imperial City!
"Although Jing'er was a deputy lieutenant before, he was exposed to the wind and sun outside the imperial city and had no good life. Now, the Fenglin Guards are the imperial guards and can enter and leave the palace. If he becomes a close minister to the emperor in the future, it will bring honor to the family!"
Old Madam Lu couldn't stop smiling. The more she looked at Lu Jing, the more she felt that her grandson had a promising future!
Although he had no military merits, he was able to join the Fenglin Guard through his own efforts!
She wanted to see who would dare to say in front of her that the future of the Marquisate was hopeless and that each generation was worse than the previous one?!
"Grandma, you think too far ahead. It's just luck that we caught a spy, otherwise, we really wouldn't be able to get into the Fenglin Guard." As for the emperor's close ministers, Lu Jing really hadn't thought about it.
Although he thought highly of himself, he also understood how difficult it was to reach that point.
Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. It is not easy to be the emperor's favorite!
Shen Ruoyan was quite satisfied with his attitude. Fortunately, she was not overwhelmed by joy. This saved her the trouble of admonishing him.
"My Lord, there's no need to belittle yourself. I heard that the Emperor praised you personally!" Shen Ruoyan was also proud of this and said admiringly, "Grandmother, the Emperor said in person that My Lord is loyal and courageous, and has the style of the old Marquis!"
Madam Lu paused after hearing this, and then her eyes turned red. "I knew that in the emperor's heart, we have our mansion..."
I'm afraid that what he has in mind is not the Marquis' Mansion, but something else.
"Madam, this time, it was all thanks to your alertness." Lu Jing thought of what Shen Ruoyan had said before, and felt extremely grateful.
He almost didn’t get the promotion!
Madam Lu became interested. "Oh? Is there something else going on here?"
Lu Jing nodded. It was only later that he realized that he was able to be transferred to Fenglinwei so smoothly thanks to "Song Er"!
"Song Er neglected his duties and was severely punished by his superiors. Everyone else put the blame on him, but I was the only one who spoke up for him. The emperor said I was loyal and responsible, so he transferred me to the Fenglin Guard."
Although Fenglinwei is the imperial guard, the requirements for selection are extremely strict.
If ordinary people could join the Fenglin Guard, their lives would be guaranteed. And if the sons of noble families wanted to become the emperor's guards, they had to join the Fenglin Guard!
This is the most trusted imperial guard of all dynasties. Being able to serve in it represents the emperor's trust in the family. It is a place that the children of nobles are eager to get into.
With Lu Jing's strength, I'm afraid he will never be selected in this lifetime!
Madam Lu had never thought that this would happen. After listening to Lu Jing's explanation of the cause and effect, her expression changed when she looked at Shen Ruoyan.
However, there was relief in Lu Jing's eyes, while there was wariness in the old lady's eyes.
"Ruoyan is worthy of being the daughter of the Shen family. She really handles things well." Old Madam Lu said this with a smile, but that smile did not reach her eyes. Instead, there was a hint of scrutiny in her eyes, which made people feel creepy.
Shen Ruoyan didn't meet her gaze, but lowered her head obediently and said shyly: "It's good to be able to help the Marquis."
Madam Lu smiled, "It is indeed a blessing for my Lu family to be able to marry Ruoyan."
The atmosphere inside was harmonious and harmonious. Fang Rou waited from day to night but never got the chance to meet Lu Jing.
She was unwilling to give up, so she took advantage of the time when Madam Lu and Shen Ruoyan left, went around to the back, and when she saw that everyone else's attention was all on the front, she climbed over a low wall and got in!
"My Lord!"
When she climbed over the wall, Fang Rou's hairpin fell off and her hair was half loose, but in order to see Lu Jing, she didn't care about anything else.
"My Lord, I finally see you!" Fang Rou looked at Lu Jing with tears in her eyes. She was full of grievances but had nowhere to vent them. She just wanted to pour them out and let Lu Jing know her difficulties.
"Why are you here?" Lu Jing frowned subconsciously, and after reacting, he looked outside again.
"Where did you come from? Were you discovered?"
He had just been promoted, and at this critical juncture, too many people were watching him. Especially the sons of nobles, who usually looked down on him, but he had the bad luck to get into the Fenglin Guard, which they had tried their best to get into. I'm afraid they were eager to constantly watch for his mistakes and bring him down.
Before, he didn't understand the interests involved and let the reputation of favoring his concubine over his wife spread.
Now that I have finally entered Fenglinwei, I cannot allow such scandals to spread again!
"My Lord, do you despise me?" Fang Rou looked at the man she loved deeply in disbelief. She knew Lu Jing so well, so even if he didn't say anything unpleasant, she already understood what he meant.
He was worried about being seen.
He despised her.
