Lu Jing finally heard about what was happening outside.
The situation in Shengjing City suddenly reversed, and he was still unable to react.
So, after thinking about it, I found my grandmother.
"Grandma, do you think we don't need to go and apologize for this matter?" Lu Jing thought for a long time. Now everyone outside is talking about the bad things about the palace. If they go to apologize at this time, it seems a bit inappropriate.
Old Madam Lu resisted the urge to despise him, and silently said in her heart, this is the child of the Lu family, the master of the Marquis' Mansion, and he cannot be beaten.
"Since you've already seen it, why are you asking me?" Her tone was slightly sarcastic. The older she got, the more childish her personality became. She knew in her heart that she had to control herself, but she still followed her heart when she spoke.
Lu Jing was helpless, "Grandma, should I let Ruoyan out?"
The reason why he dared to directly restrain Chen Ruoyan's feet was because the Spring Examination was approaching and Qin Shaobei had already left the Lu Mansion to prepare for the exam with Pei Rushi.
Now Shen Ruoyan is isolated and helpless in the mansion. Even if he is under house arrest, no one can support her.
By the time Qin Shaobei came back, everything had already been settled. If Shen Ruoyan wanted to complain, it had been so long since the incident, and Qin Shaobei couldn't bring up the old issues in his house.
Lu Jing's plan was very clever, but now that the outside wind direction was becoming increasingly unfavorable to the palace, it seemed a bit unreasonable for him to keep the mistress Shen Ruoyan under house arrest.
Seriously speaking, his mansion was indeed the victim in this incident!
"You don't have to worry about this matter." Madam Lu didn't care. It wasn't that she didn't want to intervene, but she hoped that this incident could teach Shen Ruoyan a lesson. Let her see clearly who is the real master of this house!
"Being confined doesn't affect her at all. What's wrong with serving her with good food and drink?" Madam Lu didn't care. She had long disliked Shen Ruoyan. Ever since she got the power of the housekeeper, he had become even more unbecoming.
I am taking her less and less seriously!
"Ruoyan has read a lot and is very arrogant. Although this incident is not her fault, if she encounters something like this in the future, she should reflect on it." Old Madam Lu spoke slowly, her old voice filled with unquestionable determination:
"She is the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, not a young lady of the Shen family. The Shen family is willing to cover for her, but there are more than a hundred people in my mansion, and we can't stand her tossing and turning!"
This person who always shouts about fairness and justice needs to be disciplined.
Lu Jing nodded in agreement, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized that this was indeed the case.
Fortunately, Shen Ruoyan himself was also from a wealthy family, but he was very naive. To argue with the royal family about right and wrong is simply to think that life is too long!
"Then let her stay locked up."
After receiving his grandmother's approval, Lu Jing left with peace of mind.
But he didn't know that by leaving, he had completely cut off his escape route...
"Madam, this was secretly sent in by the prince."
Chun Xi quietly took out a scroll, which was filled with letters from Lu Yan to Shen Ruoyan. It was hard for him, a child with limited literacy skills, to fill a whole page with them.
Shen Ruoyan took it and looked at it carefully.
Because Lu Yan can't speak, most of the time his hands move more than his mouth.
His handwriting is neat and dignified. He was a good apprentice taught by Pei Rushi personally. Even if he is anxious, the words he writes reveal his integrity and perseverance.
In the letter, Lu Yan told Shen Ruoyan that everyone in Shengjing City was talking about this matter. After the storyteller fell into the water and was rescued, countless people took the initiative to stand up and seek justice for him - those scholars who were looked down upon by the princess sometimes happened to be the most noble people.
Lu Jing only knew that scholars were difficult to deal with, so he was unwilling to really offend the Shen family.
But he would never think about why scholars are so troublesome?
That is because, when those heads are buried in books, what they see with their eyes is the vast territory of Dasheng, and what they care about in their hearts are countless ordinary civilians.
They used pens and ink as knives and words as swords, fighting on a battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder.
All for the justice and fairness in our hearts!
If a dynasty cannot even maintain these things, then it is not far from collapse.
The conflict between civil and military was not as simple as studying or practicing martial arts. Lu Jing superficially believed that it was an irreconcilable contradiction, a grudge accumulated over generations.
In fact, a force had secretly gathered in a place he couldn't see.
Regardless of civil or military, high or low, we only fight for justice!
"People outside say that the princess is bullying others by taking advantage of her power. My son thinks that the princess is not bullying others by taking advantage of her power, because in her eyes, this matter is not bullying at all, she is just acting normally. This is enough to show how arrogant the noble families are."
Every time Lu Yan wrote to Shen Ruoyan, he would add some of his own insights.
In the past, this was Shen Ruoyan's request to him. Let Lu Yan use this method to communicate his thoughts with himself.
But now, Lu Yan took the initiative to do this. Talking about these things with his mother was not a burden to him, but a relaxing communication.
Because his mother would not stand in the position of an adult and instruct him from a high position. Instead, she would listen carefully to his opinions, sometimes agreeing and sometimes disagreeing, but every time she responded, Lu Yan could feel her sincerity.
She is not a mother who is perfunctory towards her son.
But more like, a friend, a confidant.
At the end of the letter, Lu Yan also comforted Shen Ruoyan, hoping that she would not worry, and that he would find a way outside to lift Shen Ruoyan's house arrest as soon as possible.
Seeing him making solemn promises to himself in the letter like a little adult, Shen Ruoyan couldn't help laughing.
Chun Xi asked curiously, "Madam, what's wrong? Did the prince write something interesting?"
It is rare to see the lady smile so happily and relaxedly. This kind of stress-free smile has not been seen on her face for a long time.
She didn't know why, but although the current Madam made people feel more respected, she always felt that Madam's heart was always tense and she had never really relaxed.
Even when she smiled, it seemed as if she was carrying countless worries, unlike now, when people wanted to laugh along with her.
“It’s not a big deal, I just feel that Yan’er has indeed grown up.” Shen Ruoyan said meaningfully.
Although Lu Yan was mute, fortunately, he did not give up on himself. Instead, under the guidance of his teacher and the company of his friends, he gradually got better.
Of course, she contributed to this, but more importantly, it was Lu Yan's own efforts.
I hope that the real Shen Ruoyan will know and be proud of her son.
And it's time for her to make her own way!
