With the previous lesson in mind, this time, under the witness of Qin Shaobei, Lu Jing wrote it down in black and white.
"Lu Yan will be the only heir to the Marquisate, and the successor will never be changed."
Lu Jing signed his name, pressed his fingerprint, and then handed the signed document to Shen Ruoyan:
"Madam, are you relieved now?"
"I hope the Marquis will do what he says." Shen Ruoyan took it, but did not put it away himself. Instead, he gave it to Qin Shaobei beside him.
"Please ask my cousin to keep it for me."
Lu Jing watched Qin Shaobei put the receipt away, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Qin Shaobei raised an eyebrow at him, "Why, Lord Marquis, do you have anything else to say?"
This document is the safest to keep with him.
Now his cousin is clear-headed and speaks and acts like before. But her feelings for Lu Jing are too deep, and Qin Shaobei can't guarantee that his sister won't do stupid things again in the future.
Therefore, he kept the receipt, lest his cousin be tricked into returning it to Lu Jing one day!
"Nothing, I just hope my cousin will keep it safe and don't lose it."
Qin Shaobei, this bastard, not only made him sign a written agreement, but also forced him to write down the cause and effect of the matter!
If someone else picked up this document, they would know at a glance that he had a concubine and gave her child to his wife to raise, so he made this document.
He did it, but he couldn't afford to lose face!
How could Qin Shaobei not see the little tricks in his mind?
He smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord. As long as you keep your promise, this document will be very safe."
In other words, if Lu Jing did not comply, he could not guarantee that the document would not be leaked.
Who knows, it might appear in the memorials to the Golden Palace the next day, allowing civil and military officials to travel through time and relieve their boredom!
"A gentleman's promise is as good as gold. Cousin, you can rest assured!"
Lu Jing turned away with a wave of his sleeves, so angry that even smoke was coming out of his head.
Qin Shaobei laughed heartily in the back. It felt really good to kick a drowning dog.
But, a gentleman’s word?
Is Lu Jing a gentleman?
It seems that this is to let him not worry...
"Thank you, cousin."
A faint voice came from behind him, and Qin Shaobei turned around helplessly, looking at Shen Ruoyan with mixed feelings.
"Ayan, when you're at home, it's no exaggeration to say you're pampered. Your cousin is a tyrant outside, but if you say east, I don't dare go west."
He tutted his tongue twice, with a hint of regret, "Come on, you just married someone, how come you lost your brain and temper?"
When Qin Shaobei talked about outsiders, he was full of fire. But when he talked about his own people, he was more helpless.
If Shen Ruoyan had not woken up in time and written to him in advance to inform him of what happened in the mansion, their whole family would not have known that Shen Ruoyan was living such a depressing life in Shengjing!
Originally, according to Qin Shaobei's intention, he would go to Beijing this time to get a divorce from his sister.
What he said to Lu Jing was not a threat. Whether it was the Shen family or the Qin family, they were Shen Ruoyan’s strongest backing.
What’s wrong with raising it for a lifetime?
It's just that Shen Ruoyan herself doesn't want to. Qin Shaobei knows that Lu Jing is her sweetheart. When she married him, she was just too passionate. Although she is more sober now, her feelings are probably still there.
Otherwise, why would you not want to divorce?
He himself was alone and didn't understand love. Seeing his cousin living such a miserable life, even Lu Yan, the prince, felt suffocated. In his opinion, it would be better to withdraw as soon as possible!
Unfortunately, he was scolded by his mother, who told him that he didn't understand feelings and shouldn't interfere with his sister.
Before coming, his mother repeatedly told him to respect his sister's wishes in everything and not to act on his own.
"Cousin, Yan'er was wrong, but now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to do this."
Qin Shaobei went to Beijing to participate in the Spring Examination this time. With his strength, it is only a matter of time before he becomes successful.
According to the Qin family's plan, Qin Shaobei will have to stay in Shengjing in the future so that he can take care of Shen Ruoyan.
Therefore, Shen Ruoyan can act like a lovelorn and hurt person in front of Lu Jing, but she can never do so in front of Qin Shaobei.
If he thought that Shen Ruoyan was still infatuated with Lu Jing and would leave some room for him when they met in the future, that would be bad!
"Cousin, to be honest, I'm heartbroken for the Marquis. The only reason I'm not getting a divorce is just for Yan'er."
Qin Shaobei became interested, but still didn't believe it. He just followed Shen Ruoyan's words and said, "What does my sister mean?"
"I, the daughter of the Shen family, have a clear distinction between love and hate. Since Lu Jing has wronged me so much, he should use the entire Marquisate to compensate me!"
She looked at Qin Shaobei, no longer weak and sentimental as before, but with clear eyes and a firm will:
"The throne of the Crown Prince belongs to Yan'er. The Changning Marquisate will also only belong to Yan'er. No one can take it away!"
"good!"
Qin Shaobei clapped his hands in admiration!
"My dear sister, you are finally awake!"
This should have happened a long time ago! Although a divorce is possible, it would be too easy for the Lu family!
It was already difficult for women to survive in this world. Even after the divorce, with their protection, they would still be subject to criticism from others.
As for the Lu family, it doesn’t matter at all, it won’t cause any serious damage.
However, now Shen Ruoyan has begun to know how to fight back, which really makes him feel relieved!
"Sister, don't worry, no matter what you want to do, I will support you!"
As long as his sister is clear-headed, he will be her strongest supporter!
If his mind starts to become unclear again later... then he wouldn't mind scolding Shen Ruoyan to wake her up, and then continue to support her!
Shen Ruoyan showed a relieved smile, "Thank you, cousin."
Then, she asked Chunxi to take Qin Shaobei to the yard she had prepared long ago, and said with a smile:
"Cousin, you've worked hard all this way. Take a look at the things in the yard. If you have anything to add, feel free to tell me."
Because she was worried about disturbing Qin Shaobei's studies, Shen Ruoyan specially prepared a secluded courtyard for him.
Although it is a bit far from the outside, it is exquisitely laid out and has everything you need.
Qin Shaobei simply looked around and nodded continuously, looking very satisfied.
"Thank you for your concern, cousin. I'm a grown man, there's no need for me to be so delicate. This is good enough."
Although his family is wealthy, he is very casual in his daily life and does not care about these things at all.
Instead, I hope it can be as simple as possible so that it will be easier for him to prepare for the exam and avoid distractions.
"Don't worry, cousin. It's very quiet here. You can read here in peace. I've already given directions outside. No one can come near without my permission."
As soon as Shen Ruoyan finished speaking, he heard a shrill cry. The sound directly pierced the eardrum and shocked people!
"My Lord, please let me go with Brother Kang! He's still so young, and he's all alone on the farm with no one to rely on. Please, my Lord, let me take care of him!"
