"Lift your head."
When these words were spoken, not only the five children were frightened, but even the old lady next to them looked over.
Why did she feel that her granddaughter-in-law, who was usually weak and easily bullied, seemed a little different?
Shen Ruoyan's expression remained unchanged, but when he spoke again, his voice was as gentle as usual, "Just now I only raised my voice slightly, and these people were frightened and trembling all over. After all, we are a marquis' mansion, even if they are adopted sons, we must not lose our composure."
So that's how it is. Mrs. Lu nodded and felt that what she said made sense.
"Then let's go with Brother Kang. I think he was very good just now." Old Madam Lu pointed at the child in front of her again.
As expected of a Marquis, he didn't show any fear at all.
Shen Ruoyan smiled slightly, and dusty memories came to her like a tide.
Looking at the kind look the old lady gave Lu Ankang, her heart was full of irony. So that's how it is, this Changning Marquis Mansion really regarded Shen Ruoyan as a big fool!
What a pity, what a coincidence, at such a critical moment, the person inside this shell has changed...
"Really? But I think this kid is not bad." Shen Ruoyan pointed to a child next to him. He was a head taller than Lu Ankang and looked particularly strong. He looked like a simple and honest child.
Madam Lu: "This... I think Brother Kang is better."
Shen Ruoyan smiled, and the grayness that had lingered on his face for years was gone at this moment. "Brother Kang is not bad, but he looks a little weak. The Marquis' Mansion is a family of military commanders after all, so it's better to choose someone with a strong body so that he can be taught in the future."
Madam Lu’s face was almost dark, but she still had to maintain her dignity.
Today, Changning Marquis Lu Jing is a refined and elegant man, unlike his ancestors who were so imposing and majestic. Outsiders say that the Marquis's family has long been without a successor.
When Shen Ruoyan said this, was she dissatisfied with the Marquis... or the Marquis' Mansion?
"Old Madam, I am also thinking about the Marquis' Mansion. Now we are in the army and still have some old friendship. But what about ten or twenty years from now?" Even though Lu Jingwen is not good at either civil or military affairs, he can only rely on the foundation of his ancestors to make a living.
Honest advice may be unpleasant to the ears, but Shen Ruo's words may be unpleasant to the ears, but they hit the nail on the head.
Madam Lu thought for a moment and said, "In that case, let's accept both. When the date is right, we can invite the clan members to come and open the ancestral hall."
As long as Kang Ge can return to his ancestral home, it doesn’t matter whether he raises one child or two, it’s just two more mouths to feed.
Shen Ruoyan smiled and agreed, "That's very good."
A child from an illegitimate wife wants to be sent to her, her legal mother, to be raised, and wants to take the place of her biological son?
Pooh!
It's a marquis's mansion after all, yet they keep doing such dirty things!
The legitimate heir is still here, even if he is mute, he should not be replaced at will. The Changning Marquisate only cares about the interests of the Marquisate, without considering how desperate it is for Lu Yan to have the prince replaced!
Thinking of Lu Yan, my heart can't stop aching. It can be seen how much Shen Ruoyan cares about her own children.
Since he has taken possession of her body, Lu Hua will naturally fulfill his obligations.
She, Empress Dowager Xiaode, has always been clear about gratitude and resentment!
The children who were not selected were taken away, and Lu Ankang and Lu Changchuan stayed behind. Lu Changchuan stood there honestly, and did not dare to move until the adults said so.
On the other hand, Lu Ankang rolled his big eyes and looked at Shen Ruoyan curiously.
His father had said that from now on, this would be his mother. In front of outsiders, he could only call her mother and not mention his own mother. Only then could he return to the Marquisate and become its heir.
He has a cute appearance and is smart. From childhood to adulthood, he is loved wherever he goes.
So, he walked forward boldly, and his small hand grabbed Shen Ruoyan's sleeve, "Mother..."
Shen Ruoyan looked down and saw this young face, and smiled.
She raised her hand, placed it on Lu Ankang's head, and stroked it gently, "Good boy."
Since the Lu family is so eager to send the child over, she will help them raise the child well.
I hope the Lu family won’t regret it in the future.
After all, when she was the queen, her favorite thing was to help others raise their sons...
