"Grandma, I haven't forgotten."
The sound of a pin drop could be heard inside the house. Lu Jing was caught between the two people, feeling caught in a dilemma.
Shen Ruoyan has changed from her usual weakness, her eyes are still clear, but a little sharper.
She doesn't intend to play dumb anymore.
Before going to the battlefield, playing dumb is a tactic. But once on the battlefield, you must use all your skills - hiding your abilities during the battle will cost you your life!
"Grandmother, I agreed to your unreasonable request because I was willing to compromise for the Marquis's family. But what did I get in return?"
After marrying into the Marquis's mansion, she worked tirelessly for the family. She had to take care of the old lady above her, support a bunch of servants below her, and provide emotional value to the Marquis to maintain stability in the mansion.
She even used her own dowry to fill the hole in the Marquis's Mansion, but did she get a single "okay" in return?
Everyone said that the wife of the Marquis of Changning was weak and incompetent, unable to handle affairs independently and unable to win the support of the people at home. The maids and nannies were all eager to ride on her head, relying on the old lady's support to make things difficult for Shen Ruoyan when she was in charge of the household.
Shen Ruoyan endured all of this.
What she got in return was a mistress coming into the house, her husband becoming alienated from her, and even the old lady who served her helped the outsiders to hide the truth from her - even after the incident, the first ones to be abandoned were her and her son!
What did she promise?
No matter what she promised, it doesn't count now!
"Grandmother, I respect you immensely in my heart and have always treated you as my own elder. I, Shen Ruoyan, ask myself, since entering the mansion, I have not done anything to let you down. But, what about you?"
Shen Ruoyan cried bitterly with every word, her eyes reddening. "Before we got married, the Marquis had a concubine, and I'm afraid he even had a son from that concubine! You, the Lu family, deceived me and tricked me into marrying into the family. You simply didn't take my Shen family seriously! Later, when the truth was revealed, you even tried to trick me into raising the son from the concubine and training him to be the heir to the Marquis's mansion. Grandmother really thinks too highly of me!"
If she were a girl from an ordinary family, she would probably be driven crazy by this!
Fortunately, she was born in the Shen family and had the support of her family. Otherwise, how could she have waited until today?
Lu Jing's face turned red, and if you look closely, you'll find that even his neck has begun to turn slightly red. It's not that he is ashamed, but Lu Jing really feels that he owes Shen Ruoyan a lot.
But, there are outsiders here, why doesn’t she show any mercy when she speaks?
It's so embarrassing!
Mrs. Lu's silence has silently revealed her attitude.
Doesn’t she know Shen Ruoyan’s suffering?
As a woman, the hardships that Shen Ruoyan has experienced are the same path that Mrs. Lu has walked. It's just that some people, after being caught in the rain, will want to hold an umbrella for others.
But Madam Lu wanted to tear off other people's umbrellas with her own hands!
She just can't stand seeing anyone living better than herself!
"Ruoyan, I know you've been wronged over the years. But as the mistress, you should fulfill your responsibilities. Otherwise, what's the difference between you and those concubines who only care about their love affairs?"
The old ones are always the wisest. No matter what the matter is, they will first put a high hat on you and embarrass you.
"I am also heartbroken about Yan'er's affairs, but you should know why I did this." Madam Lu pressed on with every word, not affected by Shen Ruoyan's emotions at all. "If there is something in the pot, there will be something in the bowl. If there is no Marquis' Mansion, what is Yan'er?"
When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer.
From the day she got married, the old lady had been saying this all the time, and she would give her some glares from time to time.
Shen Ruoyan would fall for this tactic, but Lu Hua himself is an expert, so how could he be led by the nose?
She sneered and said, "Grandma, even if Yan'er has a thousand faults, he is still my child. As long as Shen Ruoyan eats a bite of rice, he will not be short of a bite of soup. He is the son of the Lu family, but he is also the child of my Qin and Chen families!"
Lu Yan's identity will be revealed sooner or later.
At the beginning, she temporarily agreed to let her adopted son take over as the crown prince when he grew up, but it was just a temporary measure.
At that time, she had just arrived and had not yet figured out the details, so naturally she could not act rashly.
But now, Shen Ruoyan already had a general understanding of the situation in Changning Marquis Mansion. In addition, she was not the original owner, and felt guilty and ashamed to seek help from her mother's family, so she would rather suffer injustice than reveal a single word to her family.
Why not use the resources?
Under her management, she had long been a poor little thing sucked dry by the Lu family in her mother's family. No matter whether it was the Shen family or the Qin family, they would always respond to her requests!
Even her grandfather wrote to her, telling her to be brave and divorce, and not to be afraid!
Shen Ruoyan faced the difficulties of Mrs. Lu alone, without backing down, "The position of the prince is decided by Lu Yan!"
"Ruoyan!"
Lu Jing yelled, subconsciously glanced at Madam Lu, and then quickly walked to Shen Ruoyan, pulling her and said, "Are you crazy? How can you talk to your grandmother like this?"
Bang!
Shen Ruoyan directly shook off his hand, "I'm not crazy, I think it's the Marquis who is crazy!"
All of this was caused by Lu Jing, the instigator.
If he wasn't so fickle and promiscuous, how could he have had a concubine named Fang Rou before getting married, and even disregarded etiquette and rules by giving birth to a son named Lu Ankang?
If he could be devoted to Fang Rou, Shen Ruoyan would respect him as a man.
Unfortunately, Lu Jing did not dare to disobey the old lady's order. He could not let go of the splendor and wealth of the Marquis' Mansion. He kept a concubine and wanted to marry into the Shen family. The whole family conspired to conceal the matter and let her marry in without knowing anything.
Fang Rou is hateful, but Lu Jing is really hateful!
The aunt in the yard is the best witness!
How could such an irresponsible and irresponsible man get all the advantages?
She had given birth to Lu Jing's children, and even if she had no merit, she had worked hard. Other women, when their husbands abandoned them, would throw hysterics and cry their hearts out—but she didn't!
She had to get her dowry back.
She must avenge herself for the suffering her son endured.
Madam Lu and Lu Jing are always planning for the Marquis' Mansion, so let them compensate for the entire Marquis' Mansion, only then can Shen Ruoyan's hatred be relieved!
She has always been a person who seeks revenge when she has revenge and injustice when she has injustice, and she cannot tolerate anything!
Therefore, she not only wanted everyone in the Lu family to acknowledge Lu Yan as the dumb prince, but also wanted them to offer themselves to him willingly!
"Grandmother, Marquis, now that things have come to this, I'm going to be frank with you. Yan'er has entered the Imperial College, and everyone knows that the Marquis's son is mute. They only know this mute son."
She sneered, "If you want to replace the prince, I'm afraid you have to think about how to explain to the world how a mute can suddenly speak."
Muteness is both Lu Yan's shackle and his life-saving talisman——
Did Madam Lu think that she couldn't see the plans in her mind?
