The dead are greatest.
No matter whether Lu Ankang did the right thing or the wrong thing before, it no longer matters at this moment.
Because, he is already dead.
When the people from Prince Shun's Mansion heard the news, they sent someone to inquire about the situation. They happened to run into Lu Jing who was "talking" with his neighbors. When he saw the people from Prince Shun's Mansion, he, a grown man, suddenly had red eyes and pursed his lips to keep it to himself.
"What's this in your house?"
The man didn't recognize Lu Jing. No matter who came, no one would have thought that the once dashing man would suddenly become unshaven and even tie his clothes wrong...
So he asked the people around him, wanting to know what had happened in the Changning Marquis Mansion.
Lu Jing walked out of the crowd and said through gritted teeth, "Go back and ask your prince if he is satisfied with the explanation given by the Marquis of Changning Mansion!"
[Heh! I knew it! Prince Shun's Mansion must be bullying others by taking advantage of their power. They even forced the son of the Marquis' Mansion to death!]
[That's right! Although he's an adopted son, he's officially recognized as his biological child. A legitimate son raised by his mistress, how pitiful...]
[The prince of the royal family was always overbearing. It's still unclear who's right and who's wrong! It's a pity for the young master of the marquisate. His life is gone just like that!]
Everyone around was speaking out for the Marquis's Mansion, and the reputation of Prince Shun's Mansion for tyranny only added to the indignation. Word quickly spread among the neighbors, colleagues, and common people alike.
The next day when the emperor went to court, someone even reported Prince Shun!
"Look what you've done!"
After the court session, the emperor asked Prince Shun to stay alone and threw the memorial in front of him:
"You bully others with your power and disregard human life. Even the fact that you beat a maid to death three years ago has been dug up. I've told you so many times to keep a low profile, but you just can't remember!"
The emperor was speechless about his younger brother.
I knew he was a brainless person, but I didn't expect him to be so brainless.
It was just a play between two kids, but now it has escalated into a matter of life and death!
If the other party was just an ordinary citizen, it would be fine, just give him some money to get rid of him. But it had to be the Changning Marquis Mansion, and the Changning Marquis Mansion where the prince had become mute. It was really troublesome!
"Royal brother, it's just an adopted son who died, not even a biological son. What's the big deal?" Prince Shun didn't take this matter to heart at all. In his opinion, the one who died was not Lu Jing's biological son. Was it necessary to make such a fuss?
The funniest thing is that it was clearly his stupid son who injured his own son, and he lied and shirked responsibility afterwards. Now that he is dead, he has become the victim?
Prince Shun felt that he was wronged. Was it because he was powerful that he deserved to take the blame?
Who can he go to for justice?
"You, you, what can I say about you?" The emperor was at a loss as to what to do with his younger brother because he didn't care about his reputation among the people - this was what he liked most.
"Find an opportunity to go to the Marquis of Changning's mansion to make amends."
The emperor pondered for a moment and came to a conclusion.
It is meaningless to discuss who is right and who is wrong now. The people's hearts have been biased. No matter what Prince Shun says now, everyone will just think he is quibbling.
If I don't deal with it at that time, it would be like protecting my own brother.
If we deal with it, it will hurt the harmony between brothers.
no need.
"Why did you hit my son and I have to apologize?" Prince Shun was very dissatisfied. He was used to being lawless and had never suffered such a loss!
But the emperor just glanced at him lightly and said, "You don't want to?"
This method is the best at the moment.
Since the person is already dead, Prince Shun's attitude is very important. At that time, he can give some rewards to Changning Hou as a consolation, and no one can find fault with it.
Prince Shun felt aggrieved, but still agreed: "Your Highness, I understand."
After leaving the palace, Prince Shun could not get rid of the anger in his heart. When he returned to the palace and saw the wound on his son's head, he was even more furious!
"Okay, Lu Jing, I'll remember this! I'll get my revenge sooner or later!"
After all, he was a noble prince. Prince Shun did not come to apologize in person, but he sent people to carry three boxes of jewels and directly blocked the door of Changning Marquis's mansion. He ordered his servants to shout loudly, making sure everyone could hear -
This is Prince Shun’s Mansion coming to apologize!
"This time I've completely offended someone..."
Madam Lu sighed and directed people to put these things into her private vault. Shen Ruoyan watched quietly beside her without saying a word to stop her.
After all, it is the money that saved her grandson's life, so let her keep it.
Lu Jing's brows were so tight that they could pinch a fly to death. He didn't even glance at the jewels. He just asked doubtfully, "Madam, didn't you say that doing this would calm Prince Shun down?"
Shen Ruoyan rolled her eyes in her heart and was too lazy to argue.
Sometimes, Lu Jing is really similar to the late emperor.
He could always fabricate words he hadn't said and pin them on her to achieve his own goals.
Shen Ruoyan looked at him in embarrassment, very entangled, "My Lord, only by doing this can we save Brother Kang..."
I never said that I could avoid offending Prince Shun!
What you want is to protect this concubine's son!
If you misunderstood, don't blame me for not explaining it clearly...
"Forget it, forget it. Now that things have come to this, settling Brother Kang down is the key." Old Madam Lu now has a clear mind. "Since we have offended Prince Shun's Mansion, we must not let them find out that Brother Kang is still alive!"
