"Shut up!"
Old Madam Lu was a wise woman. She immediately understood what was wrong after hearing a single word. She immediately ordered the children to be taken away and the entire mansion to be sealed off, with no one allowed to leave.
"Grandma, you have to make the decision for me!" Shen Ruoyan saw her come in and hurriedly came forward crying, "The Marquis brought people to make such a fuss, and was caught by the gentlemen. As the mistress, I might as well die!"
It was normal for ordinary families to have concubines and maids. But to have a fight with an unknown woman in the study and be caught by outsiders was really too embarrassing!
Mrs. Lu was very disappointed with her grandson. She knew in her heart that it was her grandson's fault. However, she took a few steps forward and slapped Fang Rou hard.
"You bitch! I let you stay in the Marquis' Mansion because of your pitiful life. Who knew you would harbor such dirty thoughts and actually seduce the master?"
As soon as these words came out, the blame was firmly placed on Fang Rou, and Lu Jing was picked out. He was just a man seduced by a lowly maid. What was his fault?
As for Fang Rou, according to the rules of the Marquis' Mansion, a maid with dirty thoughts like this will be sold directly to a man!
"Grandma, it's not like that. It has nothing to do with Rou'er!"
How could Lu Jing bear to see his woman being punished? He couldn't help himself. He hadn't seen Fang Rou for a long time, so he couldn't help himself and started to make trouble in the study.
But he clearly remembered that he had left people outside, so many people came in, was that servant blind?!
But now was not the time to pursue this. Lu Jing was clearly aware of his grandmother's methods and defended himself, "It's all my fault. Fang Rou... Fang Rou was forced by me!"
Fang Rou looked at him with tears in her eyes, moved: "My Lord..."
Old Madam Lu almost fainted from breathing. How could she have gotten such a terrible thing?
"Asshole! You are a marquis, don't forget your status!" This evil creature always did stupid things for such a woman. She wanted to send Fang Rou away at first, but was stopped by Lu Jing.
He said that his son could not live without his biological mother, so he wanted to keep Fang Rou.
Later, she asked him to keep Fang Rou outside as a plaything. He insisted that Fang Rou had been with him for so many years, and even if she was a concubine, he had to give Fang Rou a legitimate status and bring her into the mansion!
She arranged everything for her to come in under the influence of Nanny Xue, so that she could find a suitable opportunity in the future to be promoted from a maid to a concubine. On the one hand, this saved Shen Ruoyan's face and prevented her from offending the Shen family. On the other hand, it also fulfilled Lu Jing's wish.
But who would have thought that Fang Rou was so carefree and impatient that she couldn't even wait for this little bit of time!
After staying in the backyard for so many years, what Mrs. Lu least believes in is the word "coincidence".
How could it be such a coincidence? It's just that some people want to get promoted early...
Lu Jing knelt on the ground and pleaded with Fang Rou, "Grandma, I fell in love with Fang Rou at first sight. Please grant me your blessing!"
Tsk tsk, I can't believe that even though Lu Jing is so philandering, he still has a lover. They say that a husband is his wife's heaven. Look at Fang Rou's eyes full of light. Maybe in her heart, Lu Jing is her heaven now?
It’s a pity that this sky does not belong to Shen Ruoyan.
Madam Lu was speechless. Now that things had come to this, she had to give an explanation.
"Ruoyan, you are now the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, so I'll leave this matter to you." As if she felt that this was a bit cruel, she comforted him, "Don't worry, Grandmother knows all your grievances. In the future, I will definitely restrain Lu Jing and make him apologize to you."
"Let him be beaten to death."
Shen Ruoyan's light words shocked everyone in the room.
Even the old lady was a little surprised and looked at her. Lu Jing was even more excited, pointing at her nose and scolding: "You vicious woman! I knew you would not tolerate Rou'er, but I didn't expect you to be so cruel and actually want to kill her!"
"My Lord, you are wrong." Shen Ruoyan's eyes were cold, and in the eyes of outsiders, it was like the sorrow of a dead heart. Considering how deeply Shen Ruoyan loved Lu Jing before, it was normal for her to have such a reaction after such a shock.
The Marquis really went too far this time, and didn't give the mistress of the house any face at all!
So, when Chen Ruoyan said, "The Marquis's prosperity and decline are all shared by all, I don't mind it, but the Marquis's family has a young man preparing for the imperial examination and a young lady waiting to get married. If this matter gets out, I'm afraid we will become a laughing stock in Shengjing City."
She looked at Fang Rou coldly, as if she were looking at a dead object. "Since there is a stain, then erase it. If anyone mentions it in the future, it will just be a girl who failed to climb into bed and was punished."
"By then, outsiders will only say that my mansion is strict in family management. What do you think, Grandmother?"
What do I think?
Madam Lu was stunned by the question. She valued the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion the most, so she naturally thought this was the best! Unexpectedly, Shen Ruoyan, who seemed weak and unable to take care of herself, still had some brains in such a big matter. She was worthy of being the mistress.
But the bad thing is that her useless grandson.
"I won't allow it! The reputation of the Marquis' Mansion is all empty talk! Don't even think about using this excuse to stop Rou'er from coming in!" It has to be said that Lu Jing is a bit in love.
Seeing this, Shen Ruoyan lowered her head sadly, “If the Marquis insists on doing this, I have nothing to say.”
She turned and left, but perhaps because of the emotional blow, she staggered a few steps when she went out. Fortunately, Chun Xi who was beside her supported her, so she did not fall.
Lu Jing frowned, feeling a little strange. But the next second, he chose to help Fang Rou up first, "Don't worry, it's okay. As long as I'm here, no one can touch you!"
Madam Lu sighed deeply, "Forget it, I'm old and can't control you anymore. If you want to take her as a concubine, it's up to you. But you must appease Ruoyan."
Fang Rou lowered her head and dared not speak, but her eyes were filled with turbulent emotions.
Madam Lu glanced at Lu Jing meaningfully, "Don't forget, she still has the Shen family behind her."
Lu Jing clenched his fists tightly. It was the Shen family again!
This kind of upright family always talks about etiquette and rules, and the civil officials are in power, so the whole world buys into this, which makes it very difficult to deal with!
"I see."
Madam Lu felt that Shen Ruoyan's words just now were sensible and for the sake of the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, but Lu Jing felt that Shen Ruoyan was using the name of righteousness to want to kill Fang Rou!
Therefore, he not only wanted to take Fang Rou as his concubine, but also wanted to take her as his noble concubine!
Only in this way can she survive under Shen Ruoyan's hands!
Lu Jing was worried sick about Fang Rou, and was just waiting for the old lady to nod her approval so that Fang Rou could enter the house as a concubine. At that time, whether Shen Ruoyan was willing or not, as the mistress, she had no reason to stop her husband from taking a concubine.
Even the Shen family couldn't find fault with it.
Lu Jing had a good idea, but who knew that someone would bring him a pillow just when he was sleepy. Before he could convince his grandmother, rumors about the Marquis' Mansion spread everywhere - although it was his scandal, it was all directed at Shen Ruoyan!
