If it were usual, Lu Jing would have walked away long ago if he was treated like this by Shen Ruoyan.
But he had forbidden Shen Ruoyan's feet some time ago, and now she has gained the favor of the princess again. Before coming, the old lady even sent someone to tell her that she must be coaxed.
Yes, no matter what Shen Ruoyan becomes, he is still the man she loves the most.
It's normal for women to have some temper.
Shen Ruoyan was like this just now, he must have been angry with him before he treated him like that, and was being petty with him!
"Madam, it was not my intention to put you under house arrest before. But at that time, my grandmother was in power and I couldn't disobey her. I had no choice but to resort to this last resort." Lu Jing pushed all the mistakes onto Madam Lu.
Anyway, grandma said that no matter what method he used, he had to coax Shen Ruoyan.
Well, it doesn't matter if you throw some dirty water on me.
Anyway, as long as Shen Ruoyan doesn't say it, grandma won't know.
"My Lord, are you saying that it was my grandmother's idea to confine me before?" Shen Ruoyan questioned.
How shameless does one have to be to say such words without batting an eyelid? Furthermore, the person on the other end is the grandmother who raised him.
Shen Ruoyan originally thought that Lu Jing was just irresponsible.
Unexpectedly, he has no face!
Lu Jing spoke without shame and frankly: "It was indeed Grandmother's idea. I tried to persuade her, but the older she gets, the more stubborn she becomes. This has caused Madam to suffer."
He spoke so seriously that if Shen Ruoyan hadn't been smart, he would have been fooled by him!
"But don't worry, ma'am. I will find a chance to talk to my grandmother and ask her to compensate you." Lu Jing said perfunctorily. Anyway, he just wanted to push all the mistakes away first, as long as it had nothing to do with him.
As for whether to compensate or not, Shen Ruoyan wouldn't ask anyway.
"Compensation for what?" Shen Ruoyan asked seriously.
"Ah?" Lu Jing was confused. He just said it casually. There was no compensation at all!
However, when he met Shen Ruoyan's expectant gaze, he couldn't utter the words of refusal.
I always feel that this seems to be related to his dignity as the head of the family.
Shen Ruoyan rushed forward, not giving him a chance to escape or change the subject, "My Lord is right, my grandmother is old, and as a junior, I shouldn't bother with her. However, this time, I was not wrong, but I was forced to admit my mistake. Yesterday, even the princess felt that I was wronged."
"You complained to the princess?" Lu Jing was shocked, anger instantly rising in his heart, "What did you say to the princess about the family affairs in the mansion?!"
As expected, outsiders are outsiders and will not put the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion first.
It was just some trivial matters at home, but Shen Ruoyan actually made a scene in front of the princess!
Does she want the princess to seek justice for her? !
A woman's opinion!
"My Lord, look, you've wronged me again." Shen Ruoyan looked at him calmly, without a trace of surprise on his face, as if he had expected it.
"The princess heard about Prince Shun's wife abusing her power to bully others, and she felt that the Marquis' Mansion had been wronged. She even comforted me yesterday."
Yuan'er didn't bother to pay attention to these things, but the rumor that she had a close conversation with the princess yesterday was already known to everyone. What did the princess say? Would Lu Jing still run up to her to ask?
Obviously not.
Shen Ruoyan seized on this point and said aggrievedly, "The princess said we did nothing wrong and shouldn't be bullied like this. Otherwise, is there any justice in this world?"
She blinked and squeezed out a few tears. "Now that grandma has wronged me like this, shouldn't she give me some compensation?"
"I see."
Lu Jing was a little embarrassed, blaming himself for not asking clearly just now, and almost blamed Shen Ruoyan wrongly.
When they heard her mention the princess again, they didn't expect that the princess would actually stand on their side instead of helping Prince Shun's Mansion.
There is a lot of knowledge involved here.
Prince Shun is the emperor's younger brother, but the princess is also the emperor's sister!
Moreover, the late emperor had many sons but few princesses. The only one raised by the Empress Dowager was Princess Yihe.
She is the one who must not be offended!
Now that Shen Ruoyan showed up in front of her, it was said that the Princess of Shun was originally invited as well, but after the storyteller incident, the princess withdrew her invitation.
To this day, people still laugh at me!
If Shen Ruoyan could accompany the princess to appreciate the flowers, then the princess might have said those words to her. Otherwise, with so many noble ladies present, why did she only let Shen Ruoyan accompany her?
Lu Jing prided himself on having thought it through clearly, and instead felt that this was a good opportunity to curry favor with the princess.
And this depends on Shen Ruoyan!
"Then tell me, what kind of compensation do you want? I will take care of this matter for you." When Lu Jing said this, he felt that his image was extremely majestic.
Anyway, he still has some money in his private treasury, so he can just take out some and use it to get rid of Chen Ruoyan.
"My Lord, after this incident, I deeply feel that a person must have a foundation to stand on. So, I don't want any other compensation. My Lord, just give me a few shops." Shen Ruoyan had already made a plan in her mind. When she said the word "compensation", she had already made a list in her mind.
She stood up, walked to the side, picked up the pen and started writing.
Lu Jing saw that she wrote as smoothly as flowing water, without any pause, and the words she wrote were full of elegance - she was worthy of being a girl taught by the Shen family, she exuded the fragrance of books all over her body!
However, when he took a closer look and saw clearly what Shen Ruoyan had written, his eyes almost popped out!
"so much?!"
Shen Ruoyan wrote about several prosperous shops he owned. Moreover, the location was particularly good. It could be said that these were the few shops in Lu Jing's hands that were not losing money.
