"Brother Kang, tell the truth!"
Seeing that the princess’s anger was out of control, Shen Ruoyan hurried forward and raised her voice angrily: “Tell mother, is what you just said true?”
"It's all true..."
Although he said so, Lu Ankang's confidence was obviously insufficient.
All the ladies present were shrewd people in the backyard. They saw through Lu Ankang's trick at a glance.
He doesn't need to admit whether he lied or not.
Shen Ruoyan closed her eyes in disappointment and fell backwards. Fortunately, Chun Xi supported her in time, preventing Shen Ruoyan from falling to the ground.
"Princess, please forgive me. This matter was indeed caused by the ignorance and disrespect of the children in the mansion. Don't worry, the Changning Marquis' Mansion will definitely give an explanation to the prince!" Shen Ruoyan bowed. Lu Ankang's lies made her unable to raise her head in front of the princess.
It is not terrible to do something wrong. What is terrible is that you have no awareness and courage to take responsibility.
Although she had never had any expectations for Lu Ankang, this time, she was truly and completely disappointed.
She originally thought it was just a matter of poor character development, perhaps with room for improvement. But this time she discovered that this child was just like that, a born bad seed!
Even after returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Lu Ankang was still very stubborn. No matter whether Lu Jing or Old Madam Lu asked him, he insisted that he did not push the prince, let alone say such nonsense!
The night outside was completely dark, but the lights in the Marquis' Mansion were still brightly lit.
Unlike the extravagance and indulgence of the prince's mansion, the lights in the marquis' mansion are bright and cheerful, but they cannot illuminate the gloomy hearts of everyone.
"Ruoyan, is there a misunderstanding here? Brother Kang said he didn't push it. Maybe the prince of the palace is lying." Old Madam Lu was still willing to believe her grandson. She had also heard of the title of the prince of the palace. He was truly a lawless little bully!
Shen Ruoyan was tired and really didn’t want to say more, so she looked directly at Lu Jing, “My Lord, what do you think?”
Before Lu Jing could speak, she added softly, "After all, you are a member of Fenglinwei now..."
The maintenance that was about to be delivered was not even turned around and was directly returned.
The old lady had her own protection for her grandson, so she subconsciously chose to believe Lu Ankang's words. However, Lu Ankang was stubborn, but his eyes were so turbulent that his eyeballs almost popped out - any normal person could see that he was lying!
Not to mention that Lu Jing had taken him in before, so he had some understanding of his son's character.
"Brother Kang, don't be afraid. It doesn't matter even if you pushed the prince, but you have to tell us so that we can help you." Lu Jing lowered his voice so as not to scare him.
For Lu Ankang, Lu Jing is the sky that supports his head. From childhood to adulthood, as long as Lu Jing is there, there is no problem that he cannot solve.
Lu Ankang was a little hesitant. After knowing that the person he pushed was the prince of the palace, he knew that he was in big trouble!
So no matter who asked, he dared not say that he pushed it himself, because there was a voice in his heart that kept telling him not to say it, absolutely not to say it!
"Don't be afraid, you know, I love you the most and I will definitely protect you." Lu Jing squatted down. Even in private, he had never been so gentle to children.
Lu Ankang looked at his broad shoulders, and the fear in his heart broke through the gate, "I pushed him, but I didn't know he was the prince!"
Bang!
"What are you doing?!"
The sound of slapping and the old lady's exclamation rang out at the same time, and Lu Ankang was directly slapped away by Lu Jing!
He covered his face and cried miserably, "Didn't you say you would protect me? Why did you hit me?"
Having his defenses broken by the person he trusted the most, Lu Ankang's heart was shattered into countless pieces. He stared at Lu Jing with wide eyes in disbelief, unable to believe that this was the father who doted on him and loved him!
"You little bastard, I'm going to hit you!"
Lu Jing was extremely angry. Compared to the fact that Lu Ankang had injured the prince, the fact that he had lied was even more difficult for Lu Jing to accept!
Although he was unable to inherit his grandfather's ability and become a warrior who killed enemies on the battlefield, deep down, he always felt that he was from a family of warriors and had a heroic spirit!
However, she gave birth to such a cowardly son!
Not only does he not dare to admit his mistakes, but he also finds ways to lie here. The most hateful thing is that he even dares to lie to his father?
If he hadn't seen through it and tricked the person into revealing the truth, when Prince Shun's mansion sent someone over, he would have been made into a laughing stock, having to tell them that his son didn't push anyone and that it was all the Crown Prince's fault!
How hateful!
"Lord, please calm down. The most urgent thing is to give an explanation to the Prince's Mansion. Otherwise, I'm afraid the entire Marquis' Mansion will be in turmoil."
I understand you're anxious, but don't be anxious yet.
After all, what we need to deal with now is not your lying son, but the powerful royal family!
Shen Ruoyan had finally managed to stuff Lu Jing, this mess, into Fenglinwei. If he angered Prince Shun's Mansion here, Lu Jing's future situation would be very difficult.
Given Prince Shun's current relationship with the emperor, he would definitely stand on his brother's side even for the sake of face.
By then, the only one who will be sacrificed is the Marquis' Mansion!
Shen Ruoyan absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen, and suggested: "The prince was injured on his forehead. I asked someone and heard that it might leave a scar..."
"What?!"
Madam Lu gasped and almost fainted from fright!
Families in Shengjing City value appearance the most. Whether it's a girl or a boy, a good-looking face is very important.
