His face was dark, and he said in a deep voice, "How is Brother Kang injured?"
The sound of footsteps rang out instantly, and Lu Ankang rushed into his arms like a firecracker, raising his hand, "Father, Brother Kang was bitten and it hurts so much..."
When Lu Jing saw the bite marks, his face darkened, and he was about to open his mouth to blame, but was stopped by Shen Ruoyan.
"Your Majesty has arrived at the perfect time. We are currently adjudicating a case here." Shen Ruoyan's eyes were calm. "It is most appropriate for Your Majesty to handle this matter."
Lu Jing found a sinecure patrol job in Shengjing, where he was responsible for arresting people every day. Compared with other dukes and princes, his job was not up to par.
But Lu Jing valued this idle position very much. After all, the title of the Marquis' Mansion had been cut again and again, and coupled with poor management, it was now just an empty shell.
It is already good enough for him to hold an official position.
Shen Ruoyan's words made him feel face-saving, and he coughed lightly, "Then tell me, what's going on?"
The servants were all present, and Shen Ruoyan told the story of what happened between the children without exaggerating.
The more Lu Jing listened, the deeper his frown grew. Fortunately, he didn't start cursing right away, otherwise it would have affected his image of fairness.
"Kang Ge was at fault initially, but he was punished. So, let him reflect on his mistakes here with Grandmother, and she will discipline him from now on. As for the other two, you'll be responsible."
Lu Jing thought he had done everything perfectly, and he knew very well what his grandmother intended. She simply felt that Shen Ruoyan would not take good care of Kang Ge, so she wanted to take this opportunity to keep the child by her side.
This is not a big deal. Anyway, as long as Kang Ge is adopted under Shen Ruoyan's name, he will have an identity.
It doesn't matter who raises it.
Shen Ruoyan nodded in agreement, "My Lord is wise."
Lu Jing raised his chin slightly, his vanity greatly satisfied, and he looked at Shen Ruoyan with a little more favor. "By the way, Grandmother, are you going to adopt Brother Kang as the Crown Prince tomorrow? I happen to have a day off tomorrow, so we can go together."
Click.
Lu Yan couldn't help but shed tears. It was nothing, but hearing this from his own father was even more devastating.
Is he going to be abandoned?
"Adoption is fine, but the prince..." Shen Ruoyan pretended to be embarrassed, "I'm afraid this is not possible."
"Do you regret it?" Old Madam Lu stared at her. If she said a word of regret, she would use the clan's righteousness to criticize her to pieces!
For a woman who can no longer bear children, retaining her position as the mistress of a marquisate is already a blessing.
Did she still want her mute son to occupy the position of Crown Prince?
