Chapter 249 Saving your life is important!
Old Madam Lu looked silently at everyone present. Here were her relatives, her younger generations, and the nanny who had been with her for almost her entire life.
However, no one can truly understand her feelings at this moment.
I'm alone, that's all!
"You win."
She bowed her head helplessly, admitting the defeat. Lu Jing's departure had doomed her.
Even though she was unwilling, Madam Lu knew that this was her best outcome.
"No, we have never competed with you." Shen Ruoyan said coldly.
From beginning to end, this was all Madam Lu's one-man show. If she hadn't insisted on taking charge of the Marquis' Mansion, she wouldn't have remained complacent for so many years.
Lu Yan’s future has never been limited to the Marquis’ Mansion - unfortunately, she simply can’t understand it!
The Changning Marquis Mansion has since been completely transformed.
The past has become a memory with the departure of Mrs. Lu. Those past events are like a wisp of breeze, slowly drifting away.
Shen Ruoyan did not make things difficult for other people in the mansion. As the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, since Zhuhong and Liulu were willing to stay, she had people treat them well. She also had people keep Lu Sinian in the Marquis' Mansion and would not neglect them in the slightest because of these things.
Outsiders all said that Shen Ruoyan was kind and generous, but only Zhuhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief - she had indeed made the right bet in the first place!
However, the matter of Changning Marquis Mansion has come to an end, but the situation in Shengjing City is still turbulent!
"Ruoyan, I came here this time not only for the matter of the Marquis' Mansion. There is another matter that I need to discuss with you."
Shen Mo sat in front of Shen Ruoyan, with a cup of steaming tea next to him, but as he always liked drinking tea, he didn't even look at it.
It's not that I disdain, but I'm not in the mood.
"Shenyang is about to be in chaos. Now is a good opportunity for you to take Yan'er away from Beijing. What do you think?" Shen Mo looked at his little granddaughter worriedly. The little girl in his memory had grown into an independent woman without him noticing.
But even so, in his heart, Shen Ruoyan will always be a little girl who needs care and love.
The Prince of Huainan has already set off for the capital, but this matter has not yet been announced to the public.
But I believe that the emperor will receive the news soon.
But by that time, the King of Huainan might have already arrived in Shengjing!
Shen Ruoyan's face was solemn. She naturally knew what a critical moment this was!
In fact, a large part of this was contributed by her!
"Grandfather, I can't leave."
Shen Mo loved his granddaughter, so naturally he put her safety first. Otherwise, even if he hadn't come to Shengjing in person, the turmoil in Changning Marquis' Mansion would not have really bullied Shen Ruoyan.
The reason why he came to Beijing in person was to take Shen Ruoyan and Lu Yan away - in case they would not release them!
However, what he didn't expect was that Shen Ruoyan was unwilling to leave!
"Ruoyan, listen to me. This is a serious matter. The rebels are unstoppable and the imperial army is simply unable to suppress them. I have received news that there may be regular troops involved in the rebels, but it is not clear which side of the forces they are from."
He was worried that Shen Ruoyan was not aware of the urgency of the situation, so he patiently explained: "Once the imperial army can't hold out, Shengjing is likely to fall! By then, you won't be able to leave even if you want to!"
Shen Mo has experienced countless ups and downs in his life.
He knew very well what it would be like if a city fell!
At that time, no one cared about your identity or status. In the eyes of the invaders, human lives were like ants, trampled on at will! Especially women and children... Their fate was even more horrible!
Shen Mo didn't want Shen Ruoyan to suffer all this, so this time, he came here at the cost of trouble and was ready to take her away to seek refuge.
The Changning Marquis Mansion has a special status. Although there are no outstanding male members in the mansion, it is still known as a military mansion. Once a war breaks out, there is no way to escape!
Will Lu Yan, who is still a child, be allowed to take over at that time? !
"Grandfather, I understand your concerns, but Yan'er has just inherited the title and his position is unstable. If I take him away at this time, I'm afraid the mansion will have changed hands when I come back."
The attitudes of my second uncle and others today are already very clear.
When Lu Yan inherited the title, they were all eyeing him covetously.
Once Lu Yan leaves, I'm afraid he will be eager to take over his place!
Shen Mo was so disappointed with Shen Ruoyan that he wanted to pry open her head to see what she was thinking!
"Ruoyan, why are you so confused! What's a marquis's mansion? As long as the green mountains are alive, grandpa guarantees that Yan'er's future path will only be wider and farther!" But now, saving your life is the most important thing!
Shen Ruoyan knew that in Shen Mo's eyes, it would be pure stupidity for her to choose to stay at this time.
But she couldn't tell him her real purpose, and she had to find a way to convince Shen Mo. Otherwise, given his concern for Shen Ruoyan, he might secretly find a way to take her away directly...
Lu Yan was sandwiched between the two of them, keeping silent tactfully, without any sign of being eloquent.
When gods fight, mortals suffer. At times like this, the lower his presence, the better.
But Shen Mo seemed to be unable to hear the little grandson's voice. He frowned and asked, "Yan'er, tell me, do you want to come with me?"
?
Why did he get to choose?
Lu Yan looked at Shen Ruoyan, then at Shen Mo, then silently counted his fingers and lowered his head.
He was just a kid who knew nothing, he didn't dare to choose.
"Grandfather, please don't force him." Shen Ruoyan sighed softly. She knew that if she wanted to get away with it, she would be losing her way.
So she asked someone to take Lu Yan away, and then she personally brewed another cup of tea and placed it in Shen Mo's hand.
“Shenyang will be in chaos, but Changning Marquis’ Mansion will not be. With Yan’er here, those people will definitely look at us with new eyes!” She wanted to take this opportunity to let everyone see that even though Lu Yan was still just a child, he could support the entire mansion!
Shen Mo disagreed. How old is Lu Yan?
But Shen Ruoyan's next words left him no time to worry about this matter at all.
"Grandfather, you don't have to worry about us staying in Shengjing. I already knew about the Prince of Huainan's visit to the capital. And I was the one who sent someone to deliver the map of his visit to the capital..."
"What did you say?!"
Shen Mo jumped up from the chair. He was still strong and agile despite his old age, and his age was unmatched!
His beard was trembling slightly, and he was obviously very surprised, "Ruoyan, you can't say such things!"
