Lu Ankang announced to the public that he had committed suicide. Although he was not his biological son, in order to dispel the suspicion of Prince Shun's Mansion, Lu Jing still acted seriously for several days on the pretext of being sad.
Outsiders only thought that Marquis Changning valued this adopted son very much, and sighed.
But in the eyes of others, it has a different flavor.
"Sister, this is a good opportunity." Lu Lu had been sitting still for a long time, but finally couldn't sit still anymore. "The Marquis values an adopted son so much. Ultimately, it's because the Marquisate has a hard time raising children."
In this huge Marquisate, there is only one heir apparent, the Marquis's biological son. Furthermore, he is mute.
I heard that the mistress was injured and could no longer get pregnant, so the task of having children naturally fell on the concubines.
"What do you want to do?" Zhu Hong was a little worried. Her sister could not stand loneliness, but she always felt that the situation in this mansion was a little strange, especially the death of Lu Ankang this time. There was something weird about it everywhere.
She had seen that child several times before and was deeply impressed by him.
I really can't imagine that someone with such an arrogant personality would actually choose to commit suicide...
This matter hadn't been clarified yet, and Zhu Hong felt that it was best to stay within her means and not act rashly. She didn't like to act without a firm grasp of the situation; she might get herself into trouble if she wasn't careful.
But Liu Lu obviously didn't have so many concerns, or even if she did, she couldn't wait any longer.
"Those servants always treat people differently based on their appearance. They don't say it openly, but they use many tricks in secret!" Liu Lu got a little angry when this was mentioned. Even the meals delivered recently were of worse quality than before!
If she asked one more question, she would still complain that she was picky and say that all the concubines in the mansion had the same share, and if she was dissatisfied, she could go to the mistress.
If everyone was like this, Liu Lu would accept it.
But she asked around and found out that it wasn't the case with Aunt Fang!
Sometimes, Concubine Fang could even ask the kitchen to cook alone, just because the Marquis would come to her place, so Concubine Fang could use this to gain more benefits for herself.
There is no harm without comparison.
If everyone was the same, Liu Lu wouldn't be immune to this hardship. They couldn't compare to the mistress. But as concubines, why should Concubine Fang have a better life than them?
After all, it was because of the Marquis's favor.
She and her sister are like the ivy that climbs everywhere. They seem to have strong vitality, but in fact they can only survive by relying on others.
Liu Lu had already understood that if she wanted to live well in this mansion, it was not enough to just not offend the mistress. If she wanted to be respected by others, she had to gain the favor of the Marquis and become his favorite concubine!
If she could give birth to his son, that would be even better!
"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely let you live a good life!"
Liu Lu made up her mind and went ahead with it, regardless of Zhu Hong's dissuasion. The next day, she spent a lot of money to get some good things from outside, and she was full of fighting spirit to become the favorite concubine!
"Look, sister, if you take this pill before sex, you'll have a high chance of getting pregnant. And this incense, after burning it, can help men last longer..."
These secret techniques were taught to Liu Lu by her former sisters in Qingsong Garden.
Now that she has become the favorite concubine of a high-ranking official, this method must be correct!
"But sister, what's the difference between doing this and being like those women outside?" Zhu Hong did not agree with this method. Lu Jing had a reputation for being a playboy. Working hard in bed might win his favor for a while, but it wouldn't last.
Men always get bored easily.
"So, what do you think, sister?" Liu Lu sneered. "Do I have to do what you did, delve into the Marquis's preferences and cook for him every meal?"
Every time Lu Jing came over, Zhu Hong would cook for him personally.
Everything I made was what Lu Jing liked to eat.
Zhuhong said that she hoped the Marquis could find a peaceful place with her so that he could have a sense of belonging.
"Sister, what you did, any cook can do."
Liu Lu despised this kind of behavior from the bottom of her heart. It makes a man feel calm when he sees you. It gives him a sense of home, but what's the difference between you and the cook at home?
Love should be hot and passionate. Only in this way can a man be unable to stop being attracted to you!
The two sisters had a disagreement on this matter, and Zhuhong wanted to find a good opportunity to have a good talk with her sister.
But she didn't expect that Liu Lu's movements would be so fast!
The spring evening was still a little chilly. Lu Jing came back from outside and thought with his head down on the way. He decided to go and see Fang Rou.
Ever since the incident with Brother Kang, Fang Rou has become more obedient.
She doesn't argue with him or make a fuss with him. When she sees him, she behaves well and does whatever he tells her to do. She is very well-behaved.
But Lu Jing felt very uncomfortable because he knew that the real Fang Rou was not like this.
She would argue with me, make trouble with me, and even refuse to give in just because I looked at Shen Ruoyan a little too much!
But yesterday, he went to Shen Ruoyan's place before going there. Fang Rou knew about it, but didn't say a word. Even after he took the initiative to bring it up, she didn't show any dissatisfaction, which really made him very uncomfortable!
He thought that Kang Ge's incident was too much of a blow to Rouer.
When the time is right, I will arrange for her to meet my son.
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly smelled the fragrance of flowers. Lu Jing subconsciously sniffed and felt that the fragrance was refreshing, as clear as a lotus but with a bit of the delicateness of peach blossoms. When he took a closer look, he saw a woman's face.
Liu Lu was wearing a light green gauze dress. The evening breeze blew up her skirt, which was as light as mist and seemed to float into Lu Jing's heart.
He swallowed unconsciously, "Why are you here?"
A flash of panic crossed Liu Lu's face, but it was soon replaced by joy.
"Greetings, my Lord."
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her eyes seemed to be filled with ripples, clear and bright, reflecting Lu Jing's figure.
"I couldn't sleep, and I was thinking about the Marquis. Before I knew it, I came here."
Lu Jing took a look and saw that this was the place where the spring banquet was held last time. Liu Lu's figure at that time seemed to reappear before his eyes, making his heart beat faster.
But Liu Lu was still unaware of it, her eyes shining as she said happily, "I didn't expect that just when I was thinking about the Marquis, he would appear before me. I'm so happy!"
She has a charming appearance, and when she smiles, she has a bit of the naiveté that is unique to young girls.
Once you see it, you can't take your eyes off it.
"So happy?" Lu Jing also smiled. The fatigue and depression of the past few days were cured by this innocent smile.
He pulled Liu Lu over, embraced her willow-like waist, and couldn't help rubbing it up and down a few times, "Then this Marquis will make you happy tonight..."
With a small cry of surprise, Lu Jing picked up Liu Lu by the waist and strode towards her yard.
The night is still long tonight, and the incense in the Liulu room is burning very brightly.
