Chapter 55 What’s the Use of Having a Man?
Shen Ruoyan looked embarrassed; she had not expected to be slapped in the face so quickly.
However, Qin Shaobei didn't mind. Instead, a cunning look flashed in his eyes. He pulled Shen Ruoyan to hide behind - eavesdropping!
"cousin?"
When Shen Ruoyan was forced to squat behind the bamboo forest, she was still a little unresponsive.
When he saw Qin Shaobei quietly squeeze open a gap and start to peek, he could not hide his inner shock!
Is this cousin so gossipy?
"Shh, be low-key when watching a show."
Qin Shaobei was obviously a veteran. Not only did he ask his servants to stay away, he also asked them to guard outside and report any signs of trouble in a timely manner.
The two people inside obviously didn't have this awareness. They were surrounded by people and didn't know what was going on.
"Why are you following along to cause trouble? You are the concubine of the Marquis's Mansion. In front of outsiders, what excuse do you want to use to take care of Brother Kang?"
The manor of the marquis's manor is not a deserted place.
There were more than a dozen people just to take care of the farm. Adding those who were later assigned to serve Lu Ankang, there were already dozens of people!
There were so many people there, why would the concubine from the Marquis's Mansion go there?
Won’t those people become suspicious?
For Lu Ankang, the lower the profile, the safer it is. The Shun Prince's Mansion cannot be underestimated. If they knew that Lu Ankang was not dead, they would probably make his fake death come true!
At this critical moment, couldn't Fang Rou just be patient? Did she have to get involved and cause more trouble?
Lu Jing showed rare patience and explained everything to Fang Rou in detail, fearing that she wouldn't understand and would do something irrational.
In the past, Lu Jing felt that Fang Rou was the person who understood him best in the world. He and Fang Rou were like soulmates, unlike anyone else in the world.
But now, he was a little afraid of Fang Rou.
"My Lord, can you give up your status as a concubine and let me be a maid?"
Fang Rou had already made up her mind before she came. Even if she had to become a slave, she wanted to stay with her son.
Shen Ruoyan sighed inwardly, how pitiful are the love of parents in the world!
However, I don’t know if her big son will buy it…
"You have already entered the Marquis' Mansion, so you belong to my Mansion. Even if you are a concubine, do you think you can just say no and not be one?"
Lu Jing suddenly felt that Fang Rou really had no sense of the overall situation.
She used to be spoiled and willful, and she thought she was innocent and cute. But now that she has a son, why can't she be more sensible?
You've already entered the Marquis' Mansion, so why don't you know clearly where you stand?
Can she be the concubine whenever she wants or not?
How would he explain this to his grandmother? And how would he explain it to Shen Ruoyan?
Lu Jing's eyes gradually became dissatisfied. Fang Rou really didn't consider things from his perspective.
"But Lord Hou, Brother Kang is still so young, without his parents by his side, how pitiful he must be!"
Even if there are servants, can a young master of a marquisate who is hidden on a manor really expect them to be dedicated and hardworking?
That was the child she had carried for ten months. Even if everyone in the world thought he was not good, in Fang Rou's heart, he was the best.
She was the only one who was truly worried about Lu Ankang.
"He committed a heinous crime, and it's good enough that he was able to save his life. As his biological mother, you may not have taught him well, but please don't hold him back at this time."
Lu Jing touched his chin and thought: "If you ask me, we should take this opportunity to let Brother Kang reflect on himself. Otherwise, he will not be ignorant of the world and continue to cause trouble when he comes back!"
After all, he is his future heir, so Lu Jing still cares about Lu Ankang.
However, he wanted to train an heir more than a son. So he could temper Lu Ankang's temper on the farm, killing two birds with one stone.
A loving mother often spoils her child. Fang Rou dotes on him too much. It’s better for them to separate.
Unfortunately, Fang Rou could not appreciate his painstaking efforts.
After the identity of the mistress was exposed, Fang Rou knew that she could no longer keep her son.
So she would rather not be the concubine and wanted to go with her son!
But why not agree?!
"Rou'er, we are no longer the same as before. You must always remember who you are and do what you should do. This is what is truly good for Brother Kang."
"When Brother Kang comes back, I will naturally find a chance to reunite you and your son."
Lu Jing's words sounded so high-sounding that even Shen Ruoyan felt sick after hearing them.
But Fang Rou did not make any noise or fuss, and even stopped crying.
She exuded a dead smell and looked as if she had aged ten years.
If the previous Fang Rou saw Lu Jing, her whole body would glow.
Now, her light is out.
It's completely extinguished and will never light up again!
"My Lord, I understand."
Seeing her like this, Lu Jing felt a little bit sorry for her. But thinking about the recent bad things, he became cold and hard again.
"It's good that you understand. During this period of time, my wife's cousin is staying here temporarily. You should be good and behave yourself. Don't go over to provoke him. Especially my wife, it doesn't matter if you suffer some grievances temporarily. I will compensate you later."
Qin Shaobei was someone that even he didn't want to offend, let alone a former mistress?
When Lu Jing said these words, he sounded earnest and felt that he was truly considering Fang Rou so as to prevent her from getting into trouble again.
Fang Rou just smiled contemptuously, "Don't worry, my Lord, I won't overestimate my own abilities. After all, the Madam has her cousin's support, and I have nothing."
There used to be a marquis, but now, it’s better to have no one.
Lu Jing frowned, not liking to hear Fang Rou say such discouraging words, and subconsciously said: "How could that be? You still have me!"
After saying that, he was afraid that Fang Rou would really take it seriously, so he quickly added: "Just be patient during this period of time, be good, it will be fine after Qin Shaobei leaves!"
At this moment, Fang Rou was shocked to realize what position she held in Lu Jing's heart.
To put it nicely, it's called pampering a concubine.
To put it bluntly, it's just a plaything!
She thought they were a couple for life.
But in the end, Lu Jing had a bunch of people in his life!
How ridiculous!
How sad!
She didn't even know when she had come to this point.
I can't even see my own son!
Love, in the face of reality, turns out to be so vulnerable. But she regards this thing as everything in the world...
Fang Rou broke free from Lu Jing's hand, tears still streaming down her face, but the tears in her heart had already dried up.
"Don't worry, my Lord. I won't cause any trouble to you. From now on, you can do whatever you want..."
Fang Rou raised her head and slowly smiled. Although that smile was in full bloom in spring, it was sadder than ice.
"I will be sensible."
Fang Rou turned and left. Lu Jing looked at his empty hands and suddenly felt a little empty.
Isn't it what he wanted that Fang Rou didn't cry or make a fuss and compromised obediently?
Why didn't he feel happy at all?
Shen Ruoyan pulled Qin Shaobei away quietly. It seemed that the situation in the Marquis' Mansion was about to change again.
There is one more sad person in this world.
But this time, it wasn't directed at her...
