Forcing me to raise a concubine? The mistress of the Marquisate has gone mad

Chapter 205 The Truth About the Emperor's Change

"My Lord, is this true?!"

Fang Rou found it a little unbelievable. The Marquis actually agreed to it just like that?

She thought she would have to cry, make a scene, and even hang herself before Lu Jing would give in. Now she had achieved her goal so easily, she couldn't believe it.

"Well, it's not easy for you and your son, it's time to reunite. But now I'm in the limelight, so it's not good to be too high-profile. Next month, I'll bring Kang back in the name of a distant relative's child."

Fang Rou's delighted expression paused, "A distant relative's child?"

In this case, wouldn't her son's status be even lower than that of an adopted son? !

The anger in her heart rose suddenly, but Fang Rou still held it back, forced a smile, and said:

"My Lord, Brother Kang is your biological son! Although he was an adopted son before, at least he could still call you father. Now he is registered under the name of a distant relative. What are you going to do with Brother Kang in the future?"

Fang Rou felt very aggrieved. She thought Lu Jing must have forgotten the old one when he found the new one.

When it was just Brother Kang, how could he say such words?

Now with Lu Sinian, everything has changed!

"This is the only solution. Si Nian has just been born. Do you want me to adopt another child?"

Wouldn't that tell everyone that Lu Sinian is useless and that he would rather give up his own son and raise someone else's son!

Is he crazy?

"But Lord, Brother Kang is so pitiful... I know it's not easy for you, but you watched Brother Kang grow up. In his heart, he has always regarded you as the hero who saved him..."

Fang Rou was already crying, "My Lord, he is still so young, he just wants a father, why is it so difficult?"

Since he was born, Lu Ankang has never openly called Lu Jing "father".

Even when he was in the Marquis' Mansion before, he was treated as an adopted son. Although they were related by blood, they could not recognize each other.

Lu Jing knew that he really owed this child.

"Forget it. First take him back as a distant relative's son. When the time is right, find another name to adopt him as your son."

This is the safest approach.

Lu Ankang's identity cannot be exposed, otherwise, this will be the handle for the Shen family to hold him.

Now that he is valued by the emperor, he cannot afford to have any bad personal conduct, lest others take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.

Although he felt a little indebted to Lu Ankang, Lu Jing was not so sentimental when it came to big things.

Fang Rou felt a little disappointed, but she also knew that Lu Jing had already backed down. If she continued to be aggressive, she might end up making things worse.

"Thank you, Lord. Brother Kang will be very happy when he finds out."

Fang Rou's eyes were still filled with tears, and she said, "He can finally be with his parents."

"During this period, you should take good care of him. We will be able to bring him back next month at the latest and our family will be reunited."

Family reunion?

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Fang Rou's eyes. Is this home still the same as before?

In Lu Jing's eyes, when he wanted a family, he and his son would unconditionally offer him the warmth of home. And when he wanted to embrace power, he and his son would have to stand aside.

He always puts himself first. When he remembers, he gives them some melons and two dates, and expects them to be grateful!

How ridiculous!

Although Lu Jing promised Fang Rou to bring Lu Ankang back.

But the current situation in the mansion is no longer the same as before for Fang Rou.

Xiao Tao was gone, and the maid who was later transferred was chosen by the mistress, and she couldn't believe it. Many things could only be done by herself.

When Brother Kang returned home, there was no one available around him, which was also a headache.

"My Lord, since Brother Kang is coming back, why don't I select a few servants for him? Otherwise, he has just returned to the mansion and there is no one to look after him, and people will think that the Lord doesn't like him anymore."

After all, he is his own son, so Lu Jing doesn't care about such a small matter.

"You can arrange it. If you don't know how to choose, you can go to the madam." Shen Ruoyan is the best at these things. Lu Jing didn't feel anything when he said it. Instead, he sincerely believed that Fang Rou could ask Shen Ruoyan for help.

She is the mistress of the house, unlike other concubines who are petty-minded.

Not to mention Fang Rou, even if Zhu Hong and Liu Lu came to her for help, Shen Ruoyan would definitely not turn a blind eye.

This is something that many mistresses cannot compare to!

Hearing Lu Jing's self-righteous tone, Fang Rou became even more upset.

"Madam, please don't worry about such a small matter. I can do it myself." Fang Rou smiled gently and said, "After all, you are selecting people for Brother Kang. I really don't feel at ease if I don't select it myself."

Fang Rou hinted, "After all, I am Kang Ge's biological mother, so I know him better. I know who is right for him and who is not."

Lu Jing was stunned for a moment, feeling that Fang Rou's words sounded strange.

But he didn't think much about it, "If that's the case, then you can make the decision yourself."

This time, the emperor not only promoted him, but also rewarded him with a lot of silver. Lu Jing was very generous and said, "If you need anything, go find the manager and ask him to pay you from my account."

After hearing this, Fang Rou smiled sincerely for the first time and quickly responded, "Thank you, my Lord!"

Nothing is more trustworthy than real gold and silver. A man’s love will fade, but money will not!

Fang Rou took the opportunity to ask for a lot of things, all in the name of Lu Ankang.

Lu Jing was in a good mood and didn't ask too many questions. He agreed to everything. When Fang Rou left, she felt that the cloudy sky was so stylish!

At the same time, after Fang Rou left, Shen Ruoyan's people also came back from outside.

"Madam, I have already found out that the emperor cannot sleep at night, so he needs to light some calming incense before going to bed. I asked someone to get some calming incense and asked Doctor Xu to take a look. He said it contains a chronic poison. Long-term use will make people irritable and shorten their lifespan."

"What?!" Shen Ruoyan was surprised and asked quickly, "Can you find out when the emperor started using this calming incense?"

The secret guard nodded, "After the Queen Mother passed away."

After I die?

Shen Ruoyan rubbed his thumb gently and fell into deep thought.

When I was still alive, the emperor sometimes seemed stupid, but he was not as absurd as he is now. It was as if he had no regard for the foundation of his ancestors and could not use his brain for anything.

Unexpectedly, there is actually a problem here!

But who could have done it?

What is the purpose of doing this?

"Doctor Xu said that the poison in the tranquilizing incense is colorless and odorless, and even the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital could not diagnose it. He was able to find it out because he had seen it in Miaojiang when he was traveling in his early years, so he could identify it at a glance."

"Miaojiang?" Shen Ruoyan smiled.

Things suddenly became more interesting.
