Chapter 45: Pretending to be dead?



"Jing'er, why are you so confused? Did that woman give you some kind of magic potion again?" Mrs. Lu was very disappointed with Shen Ruoyan, and she became even more anxious when she saw Shen Ruoyan leave in anger.

There are so many women in the world, why did you only pick this one?

Lu Jing was helpless and defended, "Grandma, Rou'er didn't say anything. I allowed her to go with me because I felt sorry for her."

After all, Fang Rou is Lu Ankang's biological mother. Although Kang Ge's life has been saved for now, only a biological mother would feel distressed to send such a young child to a farm with such difficult conditions.

After all, Shen Ruoyan is not Kang Ge’s biological mother, so when making these decisions, she will not consider Kang Ge’s feelings.

When Fang Rou thought about being away from her son for so long, she didn't even want to be a concubine in the Marquis's Mansion anymore. She would rather be a maid in the farm and stay with her son.

This is true maternal love!

"Grandma, don't worry. Rou'er is just going along to take a look. After all, she is Kang Ge's mother..."

Madam Lu closed her eyes in disappointment, not wanting to look at her miserable grandson anymore. "Forget it. You have the final say now. An old woman like me can no longer make decisions for you. However, Ruoyan has done her best for you, so you need to comfort her."

A trace of guilt flashed through Lu Jing's heart, but when he thought of Fang Rou, his eyes became firm again.

"Don't worry, grandma. I will talk to Ruoyan properly."

After he left, Madam Lu slowly opened her eyes. She called Nanny Xue in and immediately poured her a cup of tea. "Madam, calm down."

"What kind of mother is she to a concubine's son?!"

Madam Lu didn't answer. She snorted coldly, her tone full of disdain. "Have someone keep a close eye on her when the time comes. Don't let her mess things up! If something goes wrong this time, the entire Marquisate will be at risk. We must be absolutely sure!"

Madam Xue nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, Madam. I will have someone keep a close eye on her!"

She was the old lady's confidant, and Old Lady Lu did not hide this kind of thing from her. Because many things needed to be arranged by the people below to do them.

Just like Shen Ruoyan, he did not hide it from Chunxi and Qiuye.

"We can't waste the opportunity that's been given to us."

Returning to his own yard, Shen Ruoyan changed his previous decadence and became full of high spirits, determined to win!

Chun Xi stepped forward and handed over a wet towel, helping Shen Ruoyan wipe her hands. "Don't worry, Madam. Qiu Ye has already arranged everything outside. Since Aunt Fang is so worried, we servants will definitely make sure she gets what she wants."

You've offended Prince Shun's Mansion, and you still want to get away with it safely?

Shen Ruoyan is not a saint, how could she let them be so happy?

If anyone was to blame, it could only be Lu Ankang's bad luck that he had to run into this at this time. If he was a good person, he might not have been in such a big trouble - but who made him do what he did?

Shen Ruoyan's patience was limited after letting this concubine's son act tyrannically in the mansion for so long.

Although no one knows why Lu Ankang is so valued by the old lady and Lu Jing, as long as he is there, Lu Yan's position as the prince may be replaced at any time!

The emperor’s personal appointment can only get us through now.

When the child grows up and is able to pass the imperial examinations, everyone will know that the prince of the Marquis' Mansion is a mute, and the mansion already has an outstanding adopted son. Can the emperor still force the Marquis' Mansion to find a mute as the prince?

It was because the Lu family was so ignorant that they were fooled by her.

Later, they will naturally discover the loopholes here. By then, Lu Yan will be in danger!

Therefore, she must nip this matter in the bud!

On the day of the Marquis's funeral, many people in Shengjing City came out to watch. This incident caused such a big commotion that even the arrogant Prince Shun's Mansion came out to apologize, which was truly gratifying!

So, when Shen Ruoyan and the others came out of the house, the streets outside were deserted, even more lively than a wedding!

[Is this the child who was forced to death by the prince?]

[Yes, yes, I heard that the prince has come to apologize. What a tragic death!]

[This coffin is so small. How old is it? How pitiful...]

Everyone chased after him, whispering to each other. All of them were lamenting and pitiful. Although they had never even seen Lu Ankang, they had already fabricated many versions of his tragic story.

Shen Ruoyan sat in the carriage, the curtain was pressed tightly by Chun Xi, no matter how loud the wind blew outside, it could not be lifted at all.

Listening to those people's discussion, there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but it disappeared the moment she lowered her head.

She slowly closed her eyes, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly as the carriage moved.

The noise outside did not cause any ripples in Shen Ruoyan's heart. All she had to do now was to close her eyes and rest.

There is still a play to be performed today!

"We're here, ma'am, please get off the car."

There was a sound outside the carriage, Chun Xi went out first, then gently lifted the curtain and led Shen Ruoyan out of the carriage.

Because Lu Ankang's status was special, he only told others that his child liked green mountains and clear waters, so he specially chose a place in a remote place outside the city. There were many people watching the excitement in the city, but outside the city, this place was rarely visited by people.

Only people from the Lu family are here.

The air on the mountain is fresh, and at this time, you can even hear birds singing.

Lu Jing subconsciously relaxed his shoulders. Seeing this, Shen Ruoyan walked to his side calmly, "My Lord, the people from Prince Shun's Mansion are following us."

"What?!"
