Fang Rou thought she had grasped Shen Ruoyan's thoughts, but at this moment, Shen Ruoyan didn't care at all where Lu Jing went.
Qinghui Pavilion was where the emperor held palace banquets to entertain ministers. It was renovated just before her death, and because it was open to the public, high standards were met everywhere.
The wall paint is peeling off, which is very abnormal.
Unless someone climbed over there, causing the wall to fall off!
The reason why Shen Ruoyan was so impressed was that when Qinghui Pavilion was being renovated, someone in the palace suggested that some powder bags could be designed on the top of the wall, with broken wall plaster piled together, which would break when stepped on.
At that time, if someone wants to climb in from here, they will definitely leave traces - Lu Jing is a newcomer, so it is normal that he doesn't know this.
Could the wall he saw be the powder pack left over from the original design?
The next morning, when Lu Jing was about to go out, he was stopped by Shen Ruoyan. She told Lu Jing her guess, but did not forget to cover it up. "I seem to have heard some elder in my family mention it before, but I don't remember if it's true."
Lu Jing's eyes lit up. "It's okay. Even if I said something wrong, it won't have any impact. Safety is no small matter!"
As a marquis, he wasn't afraid of being reported. Even if he made a mistake, at most he would be reprimanded for making a big deal out of nothing.
With a full sense of responsibility, Lu Jing went to the palace with high spirits.
The friendly scene of his cordial conversation with Shen Ruoyan was also seen by Fang Rou who came to the door to block Lu Jing - as expected, Shen Ruoyan took action!
No, this can't go on, otherwise, Brother Kang will never come back!
Compared to competing for favor with other concubines, Lu Ankang is the first in Fang Rou's heart. You can touch her, but you absolutely cannot touch her son!
Fang Rou hid behind until Lu Jing and Shen Ruoyan left, then she quietly slipped away.
After returning to the house, she thought about it again and again, and still felt that she couldn't wait like this, it was too passive.
Now Kang Ge is at the farm and cannot be in front of Lu Jing and the old lady, but Lu Yan is right next to them. Although he is a mute, he is still a living person.
Since they are human, it is possible for them to develop feelings. What will her Kang Ge do then?
Kang Ge had already suffered so much injustice, and at such a young age, he had to grow up alone in such a miserable village. If he couldn't keep the throne of the crown prince, then she, as his mother, would be completely useless!
So Fang Rou patted her face to cheer herself up.
She must find a way, she must make a way out for her son!
"Xiao Tao, go to the kitchen and make a bowl of ginseng soup. I'll send it to the old lady later to nourish her body."
This ginseng was given to her by Lu Jing last time, because she said that she felt unwell when the seasons changed, so Lu Jing specially asked someone to buy wild ginseng from outside.
Fang Rou was reluctant to use it herself, thinking of giving it to her son next time she went to the farm. But for now, she could only use it as an emergency measure.
She came to the old lady, well-behaved and docile, and personally served the old lady to drink the ginseng soup. She also took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, which was thoughtful and considerate.
"Tell me, why did you come here today?"
Mrs. Lu accepted the gift, but she didn't say anything polite to her. She usually wouldn't be seen for a long time, so whenever she came, it was always bad news.
She has always looked down upon Lu Jing, her mistress.
"Look at what the old lady said. I just came to see you. How could it be about something?" Fang Rou's expression remained unchanged. She handed the bowl to Xiao Tao with a smile. She turned her eyes and said with a smile, "If you really want to say what it is, it's actually because of Brother Kang."
The old lady knew about her last visit to the farm with Lu Jing.
Fang Rou paused, and when she spoke again, her voice was choked with sobs: "Brother Kang is now alone on the farm, so pitiful. The last time I saw him, he had lost weight. But he still didn't blame us. He just said that he missed his father and grandmother, and asked me to pass on his message."
How could such a young child think of these things?
Even if he could think of it, that person would definitely not be Lu Ankang.
However, Mrs. Lu had high hopes for Lu Ankang and felt differently about him.
After Fang Rou finished speaking, a slight relaxation appeared on Mrs. Lu's face, which made Fang Rou feel relieved - fortunately, the old lady still cared about Brother Kang!
So, she struck while the iron was hot and continued her efforts: "Whenever I think of Brother Kang, who was so young, being away from his parents and family, and couldn't even go to school, I feel bitter. He grew up by my side and never had a good life. Unlike some people, who have people taking care of everything for them."
Lu Yan entered the Imperial Academy, and even though he became mute, Lu Jing still sent him in.
But her brother Kang didn't even dare to hire a teacher.
Fang Rou herself had not read many books, but she knew that if she wanted to become the prince of a marquisate, she had to study.
Therefore, she also wanted to fight for her son. She believed that as long as the old lady had not given up on Kang Ge, she would not turn a blind eye.
"You don't have to make insinuations there. I know about Brother Kang's affairs, but remember, watch your mouth!" Old Madam Lu looked at her coldly, without any mercy.
Fang Rou's skills are not enough in front of the old lady.
He knocked and said, "If you want to do something for Brother Kang, you have to look at your own identity first. What is your qualification?"
A concubine supported by a mistress, not even as good as Zhuhong and Liulu. So what if Lu Yan is a mute, he at least has a mother of noble birth!
Isn’t this the reason why Brother Kang was raised by Shen Ruoyan?
