Lu Ankang was taken back by the servant who was called over.
I heard that he made a big fuss after returning, which made the old lady very anxious.
It was only when Lu Jing went over to him that he was finally able to calm him down.
However, this is not the end.
"Ruoyan, this is Madam Xue's distant cousin. Her family has fallen on hard times and no one is left at home. She's really pitiful."
Kneeling before Madam Lu was a charming young woman. She had a voluptuous figure, eyes full of affection, and a look of hesitation that made the young woman feel a little embarrassed.
"Since she is Madam Xue's niece, why is she still kneeling? Let her stand up."
Shen Ruoyan smiled and asked someone to stand up. The woman kowtowed and thanked him, then slowly twisted her body and stood up. That posture was simply the ultimate in affectation!
Madam Lu was a little displeased, but she didn't say anything. If Shen Ruoyan's beauty was majestic and graceful, then this woman was gentle and affectionate.
That's right, it's a bit too charming.
"Your servant Fang Rou greets the Madam."
Fang Rou's voice was sweet, and when she spoke, the old lady frowned. But when she spoke to Ana Shen, she praised Fang Rou to the heavens and earth.
"This child is honest and dutiful. Although she came to seek refuge with Madam Xue, she is willing to start as a lowly maid and has no desire to curry favor with the rich and powerful. She is a good child."
Nanny Xue was the old lady's maidservant, and they had known each other for decades. In this mansion, she was half the master. If Fang Rou was really her distant cousin, it would be fine. Shen Ruoyan was happy to give her some face.
Unfortunately, Fang Rou is not as simple as she seems.
Shen Ruoyan remembered clearly that when the original owner dropped her handkerchief and went back to look for it, she accidentally overheard the conversation between the old lady and Nanny Xue.
"How's Fang Rou? Jing'er is really something. She's just a concubine, why would he worry so much about her?"
"Madam, calm down. After all, the concubine has given birth to a son for the Marquis. I heard he's six years old now, very smart and clever, and a promising young man."
"In that case, bring him back as soon as possible. The prince is useless, so replace him as soon as possible to avoid affecting the reputation of the Marquisate."
Nanny Xue patted her back to calm her down and agreed repeatedly, "Then the concubine..."
Madam Lu snorted coldly, "I wanted to send her away, but who knew Jing'er would be so bewildered by her. Forget it, after all these years, Shen Ruoyan can't cause any trouble. Find an opportunity to bring her back and make her a concubine."
The person he loved deeply not only had a mistress outside, but also had a child who was almost the same age as his son.
This hit Shen Ruoyan hard!
Her so-called efforts were nothing but a joke in the Lu family! Her son was also a despised good-for-nothing! And her husband, who had quarreled with the old lady over a concubine, had never considered her and her son in the slightest!
How could Shen Ruoyan not hate!
"After all, she is Madam Xue's cousin. How could she start as a lowly maid?" Shen Ruoyan continued with a smile, "I wonder if Grandmother has thought of a place for her?"
Madam Lu looked at her expression and said calmly, "Jing'er's study is still short of help. It would be great if she could go over and serve."
"OK."
"If you don't want to... okay?" She agreed so readily that the old lady was stunned.
"It's my fault for being careless recently. I didn't notice that the Marquis was short of people. Since Fang Rou is here, send her over to avoid delaying the Marquis's important work." Shen Ruoyan was so kind and generous that the excuses prepared by the old lady were useless.
Now that the concubine has been accepted, it is only a matter of time before this concubine comes into the family.
Shen Ruoyan has no feelings for Lu Jing and is very open-minded.
Want a family reunion?
I'm here to help you!
As soon as Lu Jing finished his shift today, he couldn't wait to go to the study. When he got to the door, he asked the servant to guard outside and no one was allowed to approach without his permission.
"My Lord!"
When Fang Rou saw Lu Jing, her watery eyes immediately sparkled. She stood up and then subconsciously stopped, "This servant pays homage to the Marquis."
"What are you doing?" Lu Jing was distressed. "Making you a maid is just a temporary solution. When there are no outsiders around, you and I are still the same as before."
"Thank you for your love, Lord. I know I shouldn't have come. But I really miss Brother Kang and Lord. You are the most important people in my life. Without you, my life is really boring. I might as well die."
"Look at you, what nonsense are you talking about again!"
Lu Jing hugged her lovingly. He and Fang Rou had met outside. He hadn't brought his servant that day and had fallen drunk on the street. It was Fang Rou who took him home and took good care of him, making him feel the warmth of home.
So, he always wanted to have a family with Fang Rou. But unfortunately, he couldn't do so.
"My Lord, is Brother Kang okay? I heard he's not being raised by Madam's side, but by the old lady. Does Madam dislike him?" Fang Rou lowered her head in grievance. "It's all my fault. I couldn't help Brother Kang win Madam's favor."
“That’s Shen Ruoyan’s own narrow-mindedness, what does it have to do with you?”
With the warm and soft jade in his arms, Lu Jing could no longer contain his excitement. "Don't worry, Brother Kang is with Grandma and is doing well! Rou'er, I'm not feeling well at all right now..."
Feeling his eagerness, Fang Rou blushed and was led to lie on the table, "My Lord, this is the study..."
Crash!
The rice paper on the table fell to the ground. Lu Jing obviously knew better than her - this is the study!
The two of them were blatantly making a scene in the study, and the servants guarding outside were sweating profusely and didn't dare to leave.
Shen Ruoyan was writing, listening to the report from the servants, writing slowly and methodically, his pen moving like flowing water, without any obstruction.
"Oh? Not out yet?"
The servant nodded and said, "It's been an hour. There's been quite a bit of commotion in the study."
As expected of a famous playboy in Shengjing City, Lu Jing really did not disappoint Shen Ruoyan. She smiled and put down the pen, "Your handwriting is good today. Take it with you. I'm going to give it to the Marquis."
Chun Xi put the calligraphy away with a complicated expression, and looked at the four big words on it, and was even more frightened -
Unwavering loyalty!
Is it really okay to send these four words?
Shen Ruoyan didn't care, she was in a very good mood and asked someone to invite the old lady over, saying that she had just got some calligraphy and paintings from famous masters and invited everyone to come and appreciate them.
The Shen family is a family of scholars, and Shen Ruoyan's favorite thing is to appreciate calligraphy and paintings. Moreover, her calligraphy was taught by her grandfather, and when she was still in the boudoir, people came to her to ask for her calligraphy.
When they heard that she was going to hold a calligraphy appreciation party, Master Song and Pei Rushi were quite interested. So they gave the young masters a rare day off and brought them to the study.
On the way here, Master Song saw that Lu Ankang looked listless and had little energy, so he explained to him in a good mood:
"Your mother's calligraphy is truly remarkable, even many celebrities would admire her. Her collection of calligraphy and paintings by famous masters is even more impressive. She must be a master of calligraphy and painting. Although you are young, it would be very helpful for you to observe and learn from her."
Lu Ankang didn't dare to refute and nodded in agreement.
At this moment, he didn't know that this calligraphy appreciation meeting had indeed brought him some benefits.
But if possible, he would rather not!
