Chapter 40: Should we be sad or happy?



The servant didn't even dare to raise his head, shaking with fear, "I've looked for it, but I can't find it..."

If he hadn't been unable to find it, no matter how brave he was, he wouldn't dare to come and bother Shen Ruoyan. However, this is the Prince's Mansion, not the Marquis' Mansion. If something happened to the young master here, it would be terrible!

"What happened?"

Hearing the noise, the princess, as the host, slowly walked over.

When she came down, the people around her automatically moved aside, leaving her an unobstructed path, and she came directly to Shen Ruoyan's side.

"Madam Changning, what happened?" the princess asked with concern.

If it were someone else, she might have just sent a maid over. Even if the old lady of the Changning Marquis family was here, she would not bother to show up.

However, since it was Shen Ruoyan who came today, she had to ask a question reluctantly.

Who made her grandfather so popular among the scholars?

"Princess, please forgive me. The boy in the mansion was not well-behaved and got lost because he was too playful. I was just about to send the servants to look for him, but I didn't expect to disturb you." Shen Ruoyan stepped forward to apologize. She felt ashamed to tell others that he had wandered around in the master's house and got lost.

But she is now the wife of Marquis Changning, so she has to take the blame.

"Oh, I thought it was something serious. Come on, send more people to look for the young master of the Marquis' Mansion." The princess was arrogant, but efficient. After a while, a group of people went to the woods.

Shen Ruoyan breathed a sigh of relief. She was the one who brought the person out. If anything happened, Lu Jing would probably blame her first.

"Thank you, Princess."

The palace was large and had many rules. Shen Ruoyan was worried that Lu Ankang had accidentally wandered into a place he shouldn't have been, so she followed him to look for him. The princess, who didn't know if she found the banquet boring or what, said with a cheerful smile, "I'll go take a look too!"

Now that the host has left, there is no reason for others to sit around idly.

Just like that, the huge group of people actually walked towards the woods.

Prince Shun loved bamboo, and the emperor loved him so much that he gave him the most spacious palace of all the other princes. So Prince Shun had a bamboo forest built in his palace, complete with pavilions and buildings, and a clear stream flowing slowly through the bamboo forest.

"This is our prince's favorite place to come. The little guy is quite discerning and actually came here."

The princess' voice came from behind. Shen Ruoyan stopped and felt a pang in his heart - it's over. Could he have accidentally entered a place where he couldn't go?

It is true that the emperor loves his younger brother the most, but if you want to say how true that is, Shen Ruoyan feels that he cannot guarantee it completely.

To be honest, if Prince Shun hadn't been so young back then, he wouldn't have been incapable of competing. Now the Emperor is aging, while Prince Shun is still young and strong. Does the Emperor really have no grudges in his heart?

The family affection of the royal family is all for the people to see.

The mother-son relationship between her and the Emperor back then is still a beautiful story to this day...

In the end, what did she get?

Therefore, Shen Ruoyan couldn't really tell whether Prince Shun had no thoughts in his mind. If Lu Ankang's luck was really that bad and he entered a place he shouldn't have entered, then she might not be able to protect this kid!

"Ah! Prince!"

The maid beside the princess spoke first, but she didn't call Lu Ankang's name, but the princess's own son!

"Oh my God! How did you get hurt, Prince? You're bleeding so much..." The maid took out a handkerchief and quickly pressed it on the prince's bleeding forehead.

The princess, who had just casually come over to watch the fun, immediately changed her expression and said, "Call the imperial physician! Call the imperial physician quickly!"

She rushed over without caring about her image, hugged her son distressedly, and looked at the blood on the ground, her eyes red with anger: "Who? Who hurt you?! I must cut him into pieces and vent my anger for my son!"

The prince was lying on the ground in a state of disarray, with a bloodstained stone beside him. This was probably how he got the wound on his forehead. He wore a gold and jade collar around his neck, which was stained with blood. The princess' heart was bleeding just looking at him!

Even the ants passing by in the palace know that the prince is the princess's favorite!

Losing a single hair would cause the maidservants to lash out, let alone such a serious injury?!

"Mother, it's him! He tried to steal my cricket, and when I refused, he pushed me!" The prince pointed angrily at the front. The terrified Lu Ankang stood there blankly, still holding the cricket that was trying to escape...

Shen Ruoyan's heart at this moment was extremely complicated, with mixed feelings of sadness and joy.

The good news is that Lu Ankang's luck is not that good yet and he has not discovered any secrets of the palace.

Sadly, he made the prince like this, or maybe he accidentally entered the forbidden area...

“Madam Changning Hou, shouldn’t you give this concubine an explanation?!” The princess glared at him, and even the way she addressed herself to Shen Ruoyan changed.

She would indeed give face to the Shen family, but that was only under normal circumstances.

Now, Shen Ruoyan's son hurt her son. If it weren't for the Shen family, she would have wanted to smash the little beast to death on the stone right now!

"Brother Kang, what's going on?" Shen Ruoyan asked harshly, but in his heart he hoped that it would be better if it wasn't Lu Ankang's fault, otherwise it would be really difficult to get rid of it.

Lu Ankang was at a loss as so many people were looking at him, and their eyes were very unfriendly.

He was favored in the Marquis' Mansion and had never experienced such a scene before. He was scared to tears!

"I didn't push him. He came to snatch my cricket. I didn't give it to him, and he fell down because he didn't stand firmly!" Lu Ankang felt so wronged. He was told before he came here that this is the prince's palace, a place that even his father couldn't afford to offend.

Therefore, even if Lu Ankang was a troublemaker, he would not dare to act recklessly.

But a child is a child. He heard the chirping of crickets at the edge of the woods, so he couldn't help but went in to look for crickets.

He had played with this before, so he found it quickly. But at this moment, a child suddenly appeared, who seemed to have sneaked out like him, and came up to snatch his cricket!

My mother only said that the prince of the palace should not be messed with, but she never said that other children should not be messed with.

Lu Ankang thought that when the prince traveled, he would be surrounded by people. So he didn't pay any attention to this child who came alone.

Why would he give the crickets he found to others?

"I am the future prince of the Marquis' Mansion. Who do you think you are? How dare you steal my things?!" Lu Ankang not only pushed him away, but also sneered at him.

Until the sound of "Prince" woke him up with a slap in the face -

This thing is actually the prince of the royal palace? !

"He's lying!"

The young master is young, but he is not stupid.

He was in so much pain that his nose and tears were streaming, but he still spoke logically: "He was the one who pushed me! He also said that he was the prince of the Marquisate and that I didn't dare to steal his things!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar!

Even Shen Ruoyan took two steps back in surprise, there is a road to heaven but you don’t take it, there is no door to hell but you are still trying to knock on it!
