Although Shen Ruoyan seems to be living a peaceful life, there are actually undercurrents.
Lu Yan's incident reminded her once again that the murderer who poisoned her has not been found yet.
The other party is very likely someone from the Marquis' Mansion, and he hasn't revealed his true identity yet. Everyone thought Lu Yan became mute due to an accident, but how could there be so many coincidences in this world?
When Lu Yan was killed, his reputation as a child prodigy was at its peak.
Everyone said that the young master of the Marquis of Changning's mansion was extremely talented and would surely surpass his master when he grew up, so they placed great expectations on him.
Even the emperor praised Lu Yan endlessly, saying that he was worthy of being the son of Shen's daughter. He had been surrounded by books since childhood and was born in a family of generals. He would surely be able to be both civil and military and bring honor to the family in the future.
I just didn’t expect that it was so dazzling when it was glorious, but became even less popular when it was lonely.
I’m afraid there are not many people in the whole mansion who still remember that he was once known as a child prodigy.
After she arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, she felt that this matter was very strange. Lu Yan was the only child in the Marquis' Mansion at that time. Logically, even if Lu Jing didn't like Shen Ruoyan, he should still value this son.
The better the son is, the easier it will be for him to enjoy happiness in the future.
This can be seen from the favor that Old Lady Lu had shown to Lu Yan in the past.
Just as she favored Lu Ankang now, she had also favored Lu Yan in the past. Because in Lu Yan, she saw the hope of the Lu family and felt that this great-grandson could carry forward the Lu family.
However, after Lu Yan became mute, she simply gave up the child.
It was like throwing away a chess piece that could no longer be used, without any hesitation.
Lu Jing was loyal to her and because he didn't love her, he didn't care about Shen Ruoyan's child either.
No matter whether Lu Yan is excellent or not, in his heart, he is no match for Lu Ankang.
Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Although Lu Jing doesn't like Lu Yan, he is not so cruel as to destroy his son with his own hands.
At least, during the time when Lu Yan was praised by others, Lu Jing was very happy. He showed off wherever he went, and even treated Shen Ruoyan better.
It is impossible for such a vain person to destroy his own bragging rights with his own hands.
It doesn’t matter whether he likes it or not. What matters most is whether it can make him proud.
Isn't this the same way I treat him now?
Shen Ruoyan sent people to secretly investigate the murder of Lu Yan. According to the evidence currently available, this matter has nothing to do with Lu Jing.
When Lu Yan got into trouble, he was still out there looking for girls and bragging about his prodigy son every day.
After learning that Lu Jing was in trouble, he immediately looked for a doctor to treat him. He even used all his connections to invite the imperial physician to see Lu Yan, just to be able to cure him.
Although he had no feelings for this son, Lu Yan was very useful to him at that time.
Lu Jing, there is no reason to take action.
Shen Ruoyan had also suspected the old lady. It can be said that the person in this family who has the best conditions and the ability to do this quietly is Madam Lu.
Although her motives are unclear, when Lu Yan was murdered, all traces of the incident were wiped out extremely cleanly. This is really not something that someone like Lu Jing would use.
Madam Lu is highly suspicious.
However, they searched and searched, but could not find any key evidence. Even if there were some traces, they only involved Madam Lu. If they defined her as the murderer based on this, it was far from enough.
“What a pity for such a good child.” Shen Ruoyan sighed softly, her words floating in the air, only the wind knew them.
In the palace, people would do anything to fight for power and profit, and she was no longer surprised.
But Lu Yan was so young at the time, let alone threatening someone, he couldn't even write steadily. Who did he get in the way of that made them so anxious to attack a child like him?
The Changning Marquisate does not have a throne to inherit, so I really can't understand why.
Shen Ruoyan would not let himself get bogged down in the complicated and tangled things that he could not figure out for the time being.
The truth will eventually come out, and what she has to do now is to try her best to assist Dr. Xu and help Lu Yan return to normal as soon as possible!
"Madam, Aunt Zhuhong wants to see you."
Chun Xi walked quickly and leisurely from outside. Now, even if the sky fell, the people in the mistress's courtyard would not be as reckless as before when they came in to report.
Although they are all in the Marquis' Mansion, the servants who leave from Shen Ruoyan's place can better demonstrate the status and rules of the Marquis' Mansion.
Zhuhong had noticed something was wrong when she was waiting outside with her companions. So, before entering, she whispered to the maidservant beside her to talk less and do more, and not to speak easily.
"I pay my respects to Madam. I heard that you have been feeling unwell recently, so I came to visit you. I hope you will not despise my humble status and offend your eyes." Zhu Hongying bowed, her voice like a trickle of water, slowly flowing through her heart.
Shen Ruoyan raised her hand to avoid the formality, "What are you talking about, sister? I'm so happy that you have this kind heart!"
People say polite words for the sake of appearances. When Shen Ruoyan was under house arrest, only Zhu Hong showed kindness to her.
Although I heard later that after Lu Jing knew about this matter, he praised Zhu Hong for her kindness and purity, and stayed with her for many days.
But at least she had pretended.
People like Fang Rou and Liu Lu were too lazy to even put on a good show. Not kicking someone when they're down was their greatest kindness.
No wonder Zhuhong was able to stand out among the few people.
"My sister usually knows her status is low, so she doesn't dare to bother the Madam. This time, I just wanted to see if the Madam is feeling better, so I had the audacity to come here."
Zhu Hong always had a smile on her face when she spoke. It was a faint smile, but it didn't make people feel forced. Instead, it gave people a gentle feeling like water. It made people feel relaxed and comfortable when chatting with her.
Lu Jing was exhausted as a dog outside every day, but when he returned home, he would naturally be willing to go over to such a considerate and eloquent woman.
However, although the jasmine is beautiful, it is easy to get tired of it.
Fang Rou has been active again recently, and seems to be studying dancing or something. She has come up with a lot of new things, and has attracted Lu Jing to her again.
Shen Ruoyan seemed to be under house arrest for these things, but in fact, he knew everything about them.
Including, Zhuhong's purpose of coming this time.
"Sister, if you have time, please visit more often. No wonder the Marquis always praises you for being kind and gentle, it's true."
Zhu Hong was flattered by Shen Ruoyan's words. She had originally thought that the mistress was easy to talk to, but she had never expected that she would be so generous. Even though she, a concubine, had come to her door rashly, she did not show the slightest expression of disgust.
He spoke to me so gently. If he wasn't well-educated, then he must be very scheming.
No matter which one, you can't provoke it easily.
Fortunately, she didn't come here to make enemies.
