Shen Ruoyan's attitude made Zhuhong and Liulu feel unsure.
They dare not gamble, nor can they afford to gamble.
The only thing to do now is to do nothing.
"Madam, the pregnancy-maintaining medicine has been prescribed. One dose has been sent to the concubine, and I have also sent someone to deliver one to Madam Wen." Chun Xi deliberately let the doctor say that the concubine's condition in the mansion was not very stable, so the dosage was larger than usual.
Those who were guarding the scene only had a vague idea of what was happening and did not try to stop them.
They were still searching Shengjing City day and night. It was said that they even searched the abandoned farms on the outskirts of the city, but still did not find anyone.
The more self-righteous you are, the more likely you are to become complacent. "Shen Ruoyan said with a smile, her risky move wasn't entirely based on luck.
Nothing the Zhuhong sisters did could ever be hidden from her eyes.
She even helped to clean up the aftermath.
"How's the old lady doing?" After returning home, Old Lady Lu not only checked Lu Jing's accommodation booklet, but also invited the doctor who had previously treated Lu Jing back in.
In the end, she still held on to some hope. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, the old lady still hoped to leave another offspring for the Marquis' Mansion.
"Madam, after the doctor left, the old lady gave ginseng to Concubine Hong as a reward." Chun Xi lowered her voice.
Shen Ruoyan smiled. Madam Lu had been fighting for her entire life, but at the end of the day, she still couldn't see through it or let it go.
She just wanted the doctor to tell her that Lu Jing was not incapable of having children, but the chance was very small. This time, her aunt was pregnant, and the timing was indeed about right.
Now it seems that the old lady has believed it.
Even if I don't believe it completely, I have already started to look forward to it.
It was ridiculous that she valued a concubine's child so much. Even if the child might not be from a legitimate family, she was still unwilling to give up the child for that tiny possibility.
But Lu Yan, such a big kid, was always hanging around in front of her every day, but she never had eyes for him!
Why?
We are both the Marquis's children. Lu Yan just had an accident and became mute. Should he be wiped out of existence just like that?!
If it weren't for her, as a mother, who was working hard behind the scenes to plan for him, would Lu Yan still have a place in this mansion?
Shen Ruoyan never thought of not fighting, because she knew that if she stopped, it would not only end her own fate - but also Lu Yan's.
He is just a child and his life has just begun. Why should these self-righteous people arbitrarily decide that he will never be able to make a name for himself?
No one is qualified to make decisions for Lu Yan. How he wants to live is his own business!
No one, including herself, has the qualifications to decide his future life for him.
The only thing she could do was to let him grow up safely, at least to give him the opportunity to choose his own life, instead of being treated as an abandoned child by everyone and living like a walking corpse.
When Shen Ruoyan came to Lu Yan, he was practicing martial arts with Lu Changchuan.
The Lu family was a family of military commanders, and they taught their youngest son martial arts from the very beginning. However, because Lu Yan had always been neglected, the Lu family had not arranged a teacher for him.
It was Shen Ruoyan who used his connections to find someone from the army to teach the two children martial arts.
"Mother!" Lu Changchuan was the first to see Shen Ruoyan. He was sweating profusely as he did horse stance. Seeing Shen Ruoyan coming over, he didn't dare to relax. He could only look up and smile widely. "Mother, are you here to see us?"
His face was tanned and even the flesh on his arms became firmer. During this period, Lu Changchuan was more interested in practicing martial arts with his master than in going to school.
No need for anyone to rush him, he arrives on time every day and never slacks off. Even my sleep at night is better!
"Well, let's see how you're doing." Shen Ruoyan greeted the master with a smile and jokingly said, "Master Pang, these two children didn't cause you any trouble, did they?"
When Master Pang was in the army, he trained new recruits. Shen Ruoyan felt very relieved to have him teach the two children martial arts.
However, the two children were also very hardworking. Although Lu Yan preferred studying, he was also serious and hardworking when practicing martial arts, and would not do anything behind the scenes. Because he was not as talented as Lu Changchuan, he would often stay behind to practice extra, which made Master Pang very worry-free.
"Madam, you are too modest. Both of you are very good. I am almost at my wit's end."
Master Pang smiled and praised a few more times. It was obvious that he was sincere and not just saying words to show his respect in front of Shen Ruoyan.
It just so happened that today's practice was over. After class, looking at the two little guys wiping their sweat, Shen Ruoyan's heart softened.
They say children are hope, but she had never had a deep understanding of this before. Even when she was raising the emperor, Empress Dowager Zhuang was still the one who took care of most of the daily life.
She was more of a guide than anything else. As long as she made sure the emperor followed her lead, everything would be fine.
But other concerns have indeed been neglected.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why, even though she pushed the emperor to the throne, he did not feel grateful?
However, it was more because the emperor did not know how to be grateful and was an ungrateful person - no matter how bad she was, she saved the lives of her and her child!
The battle for the throne was so brutal back then, it was a life-or-death struggle. A prince without a background was just a weed that everyone in the palace could step on. Before they met her, Zhuang Mi and her son lived a life worse than dogs!
