"Ruoyan, I know you're doing this for the good of the Marquisate. But Brother Kang is indeed an extraordinary child."
Mrs. Lu’s old face has lost its luster, but her cloudy eyes are filled with memories of time.
When she looks at you quietly, it's as if the abyss is staring at you, eager to absorb you into it and merge into one - completely, accepting her baptism.
"The Taoist priest of Baiyun Mountain once said that this boy has a very noble destiny and is the lucky star of the Marquis' Mansion!"
…
Silence, speechless silence.
Even though he was used to seeing big storms, Shen Ruoyan had never thought that the Lu family would want to use this excuse to evade him.
Did her rebirth affect her strength?
Does she look silly?
"Grandmother... You should know that the emperor hates this kind of superstition the most, right?" When the emperor was born, there were floods in the south and droughts in the north. That winter, Shengjing was hit by a snowstorm that was rare in a century.
At that time, monks and Taoists were unprecedentedly united, and they all said that he was the reincarnation of a disaster star and had a very bad fate, so he was disliked by the previous emperor.
Later, he was raised under his knees.
In order to help him obtain the Holy Heart, I spent a lot of effort to clear his name of the disaster star!
Perhaps because he was too wary, he took it to the other extreme. The emperor was extremely indifferent to the matter.
But the more he ignored it, the more he actually cared about it. So much so that the first thing he did upon ascending to the throne was to round up all the monks and Taoists who had spoken out that year—even their Taoist temples and monasteries were not spared, and they were razed to the ground!
The entire Dasheng strictly prohibited the propagation of the doctrine of ghosts and gods, causing those hermits to stay away from the world even more to avoid being caught!
Nowadays, temples and Taoist temples only allow people to pray. If you want to do anything else, I'm afraid the government will come to your door the next day...
"Ruoyan, you are already a member of my Lu family, this matter must not be spread outside!" Madam Lu knew the interests involved, but she couldn't tell Shen Ruoyan that Lu Ankang was different because he was Lu Jing's biological son, right? !
This is the only option left...
Lu Jing understood what his grandmother meant immediately and added, "So Brother Kang must stay. Only with him can the future glory of the Marquisate be guaranteed!"
He looked at Shen Ruoyan expectantly. She must have believed it, right?
"Ruoyan, so you should write a letter to your grandfather and ask him to help Brother Kang!"
Well, the thief is still determined and has come back again!
Shen Ruoyan sneered in his heart. Sometimes, fools also have their own admirable aspects. For example, knowing that it is impossible to do something but still insisting on doing it. Only believing in their own stubborn principles and not listening to others' correct reasons.
This kind of person only wants to impose his or her own ideas on others in order to achieve his or her own goals.
Unfortunately, not everyone is willing to be a fool!
Since you are so unkind, don't blame her - she is so cruel!
“Actually, there is another way…” Shen Ruoyan hesitated and hesitated.
Lu Jing and Madam Lu were extremely anxious and asked, "What's the solution? Tell me now!"
Shen Ruoyan coughed lightly a few times and lowered his voice and said, "Since Prince Shun's Mansion wants an explanation, then we will give him an explanation. An explanation that will make the emperor unable to help but blame him when he hears it!"
Lu Jing and Madam Lu exchanged a glance, "What does this mean?"
"Let Brother Kang die to atone for his sins!"
A hint of cruelty flashed in Shen Ruoyan's eyes, but in the horrified eyes of Lu Jing and Madam Lu, he quickly adjusted his mood and comforted them: "Of course, it's not to let Brother Kang really die, but to fake his death and get away!"
Lu Jing's eyes lit up. "You mean, let Brother Kang pretend to be dead? That way, we can send him away secretly without worrying about angering Prince Shun?"
Shen Ruoyan nodded and said with a smile: "Not only that, to the outside world, we only need to say that Kang Ge was terrified and committed suicide to apologize. This way, outsiders will not say that our mansion is afraid of power and cold-blooded. Instead, they will think that Prince Shun's mansion is bullying others by taking advantage of its power."
Madam Lu also understood and exclaimed in admiration, "This way, even if the emperor knew about it, he would only think that it was Prince Shun who was bullying our mansion. Not only would he not blame us, he might even compensate us!"
This plan is really good!
However, there was still one thing Madam Lu couldn't figure out. "What should we do after Brother Kang fakes his death?"
Since he was already a "dead man," then naturally, he shouldn't exist in this world. Was her grandson going to have to hide like a mouse, never to see the light of day?
In this case, it would be better to send him to the farm!
"Brother Kang is still young, and few people remember what he looks like. After he faked his death, he secretly sent him to the farm to be raised. When he grows up and his appearance changes, he'll find a reason to bring him back."
After all, he is an adopted son. If I can raise him when he is young, can’t I still raise him when he grows up?
After figuring this out, Madam Lu finally smiled. "Ruoyan, this is a very good plan. As expected of a daughter raised by the Shen family, she is truly resourceful."
This time, Madam Lu praised sincerely without any other thoughts.
Even Lu Jing felt more and more that it was appropriate the more he thought about it, and there was a bit more admiration in his eyes when he looked at Shen Ruoyan!
Such a smart woman, luckily she is his wife!
Shen Ruoyan pretended to be shy, resisting the urge to laugh, and said softly: "Grandmother, you are too kind. I have racked my brains for the sake of the Marquis' Mansion. By the way, this matter should be done quickly. If everyone has no objection, then let's do it quickly."
