Chapter 227 The Real Threat
After Lu Ankang came back, everything seemed calm and there were no major changes, but in fact, undercurrents were surging.
"Sister, there is a person living in Qinglan Courtyard. Servants come to deliver food every day. I asked someone to secretly check it out. It's all the food for the master. Some of the food is even better than what we use!"
Liulu noticed this and told Zhuhong immediately.
Now, with the help of Lu Sinian, Zhuhong's status in the mansion has risen.
When she was an aunt in the past, even a high-ranking maid could act arrogantly in front of her sisters, but now, who would not be respectful when seeing the elder sister?
Days like this made Liu Lu feel like she was dreaming. She hoped that she could continue to have such a beautiful dream and never wake up.
Therefore, she would immediately notice anyone or anything that would threaten their status.
I will never let it go!
Zhu Hong also knew about this, but she looked much calmer than Liu Lu. "It's Lu Ankang."
Zhu Hong had already noticed something the night Lu Ankang came back.
Although the Marquis came to see Lu Sinian that day, he seemed absent-minded, as if he had made an appointment with someone.
But what she thought at that time was that Fang Rou might be doing something weird. After all, since Lu Sinian was born, most of the Marquis's attention had been on this child. It was normal for Fang Rou to feel a sense of crisis.
So I always think of some little ways to attract Lu Jing's attention.
Many times, as if to compete with himself, he would often find various reasons and excuses to call people away when Lu Jing was by his side.
Fang Rou thought that letting Lu Jing leave in front of her would make her feel sad, upset and even wronged.
Unfortunately, she was wrong.
She is probably the only one in this mansion who thinks this way.
Who cares?
"Sister, why did you bring Lu Ankang back at this time? Is it because of Si Nian?!" Liu Lu didn't understand, and was even a little puzzled, "Don't the old lady and the marquis like Si Nian very much? Why do they still think of Lu Ankang?"
She and her sister had guessed before that Lu Ankang's identity was not ordinary.
However, now Lu Sinian is also Lu Jing's child on the surface. Can he not compare to Lu Ankang when it comes to his own biological child?
Zhu Hong smiled and shook her head. "For some things, just look at the surface and don't trust them too much. Sister, Lu Ankang is back, and he's not just targeting Si Nian. The person behind him has big ambitions..."
The relationship between Fang Rou and Lu Jing was completely clarified after they formed an alliance with the Madam.
Although Lu Ankang is a concubine's son, he is the daughter of the person whom Lu Jing loves the most. It is said that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even though Fang Rou and Lu Jing are not as inseparable as before, they still have a deep affection for each other.
This is indeed something that none of them can compare to.
Liu Lu was a little unconvinced, "Si Nian is smart and active, he will definitely be a rare talent in the future. Even if he is not very good, he is much better than Lu Ankang, the good-for-nothing troublemaker! Will the Marquis really choose Lu Ankang?"
Lu Sinian was their chess piece in the open. Although their intentions were not pure at the beginning, this child was indeed brought up by the two sisters.
After wearing it for a long time, I naturally developed feelings for it.
Now, Liu Lu really treats this child as her own relative.
This is especially true for Zhuhong.
"Don't worry, no matter what choice the Marquis makes, it is none of our business. As long as we know what choice the Madam will make, that's enough." Zhu Hong said with a smile.
They didn't get on Lu Jing's boat from the beginning.
Therefore, it made no difference to Zhuhong who he and Old Madam Lu wanted to choose as the heir to the Marquis' Mansion.
What's more, judging from the current situation, it is still unknown who will be chosen to be the heir to the Marquis' Mansion!
The only thing she had to do was to take care of her own duties and not hold the lady back.
As for what happens next, you will naturally have the blessing to enjoy later!
Because of Zhuhong's persuasion, Liulu did not take any unnecessary actions. He just did what he was supposed to do and did not cause any trouble.
However, Madam Lu couldn't help herself and told the people in the mansion that she had brought a child back from a distant relative. Although the child was a distant relative, the child looked very similar to the former Lu Ankang, so she felt that they got along very well and took the child back.
They said that the child had a miserable life and had suffered all kinds of injustice among his relatives. Mrs. Lu was so compassionate that she brought the child back.
Although the reason was lame, the master had already said so, and unless someone went crazy, the servants would not dare to say a word more.
At least, not in front of the master.
As for what was discussed behind the scenes, Madam Lu and the others didn't care, and Shen Ruoyan would take it even less!
Anyway, it wasn't her son she was talking about.
"Brother Kang, we have finally come to this point after all the hardship we have endured..." Fang Rou hugged Lu Ankang and cried bitterly.
Because Lu Ankang needed someone to take care of him after he came back, Madam Lu asked Lu Ankang to recognize Fang Rou as his godmother and raise him under her name on the grounds that Zhuhong and Liulu were busy taking care of Lu Sinian.
In another sense, mother and son have recognized each other!
Lu Ankang was not that affected. It made no difference to him who raised the child.
No matter what, he can't go out with the title of his father's biological son. What's the point?
Looking at Lu Sinian, although his mother was also a concubine, she was a concubine who was married into the family in a proper way. Unlike his mother, who hid in secret and entered the family in an ignominious way.
As a result, he also lived such an undignified life.
Obviously, he once had the opportunity to be on equal footing with Lu Yan, but now he is not even as good as a baby like Lu Sinian. If this were to be made public, people would laugh their heads off!
Lu Ankang was very dissatisfied with his current situation. He worked so hard and returned to the Marquis' Mansion from the farm, not just to please an old lady!
He has more important things to do. The entire Lu family, the entire marquis' mansion, will belong to him in the future!
Lu Sinian's existence is a huge threat.
It would be nice if he could just disappear...
The afternoon sun was still hot, and Lu Ankang came to Madam Lu's residence under the scorching sun.
What a coincidence, Lu Sinian is also here.
Because the weather was hot, ice was already placed in the mansion. The old lady gave more ice, so she asked someone to bring Lu Sinian over.
After all, his biological mother was just a concubine. Even if she gave birth to a son, he could only enjoy the treatment of a concubine, which was no greater than the status of a concubine.
When Lu Ankang came in, he felt a cool breeze and couldn't help but quicken his pace. Before he had time to appreciate the coolness of the room, he heard a baby crying!
