Chapter 204: Is the Marquis getting cocky?
Fang Rou took Lu Ankang out of the manor without permission and secretly hid him in another courtyard.
The purpose is to allow him to return to the Marquis' Mansion.
Now Lu Yan is very popular outside. If this continues, I am afraid that people will only remember the mute prince of the Marquis' Mansion, and the other children will have no sense of existence.
Old Madam Lu did not want to see such a scene, and it did not conform to her vision for the future of the Marquisate.
The prince can have a great reputation, but this person cannot be Lu Yan!
At the same time, Fang Rou also heard about Lu Yan's brilliant performance in the Imperial College.
She became even more anxious. Lu Yan had become mute, so how could he be so good at studying?
That’s the Imperial Academy!
Ordinary people couldn't even get into the Imperial Academy, but he managed to get first place!
"Brother Kang, if you can enter the Imperial College, you will definitely not be worse than him!" Fang Rou looked at her son, with great hope burning in her heart.
It was all because of Lu Yan. If he didn’t hold the title of Crown Prince, the person who entered the Imperial Academy would definitely be her son.
Brother Kang is so smart, how could he be inferior to a mute?
Lu Ankang's eyes flashed with a shudder, but seeing Fang Rou's almost crazy expression, he nodded despite the pressure, "Yes! If I can get in, I will definitely do better than Lu Yan!"
The key now is that he has to return to the Marquis' Mansion!
"So, mother, when can I go back? If I keep going on like this, even Lu Yan will be better than me. Grandma and father will definitely like him more and not me!"
Lu Ankang's tone was a little anxious, and he really thought about these concerns when he said these words.
The days at Zhuangzi made him clearly understand that without the Marquisate, he was nothing.
Even if he is the master of the Marquis' Mansion, if he does not have a clear identity, then what belongs to him will never fall on his head.
He must go for it!
Fang Rou seemed to have made up her mind. "Don't worry, mother will let you return to the Marquis' Mansion soon!"
Lu Jing's injuries were slowly healing, as new flesh was growing recently. In order to resist the urge to scratch, he took a storybook and read it by the bed.
Just when I was halfway through reading, Fang Rou rushed in in a hurry.
"Master Hou!"
As soon as Fang Rou saw Lu Jing, she knelt on the ground without a second, leaving Lu Jing no time to react.
"What are you doing? Get up!" The servants outside didn't know what was going on, and didn't stop the man. Lu Jing remembered the doctor's instructions not to make big movements, so he just supported himself and sat up, asking Fang Rou to get up quickly.
"If the Marquis does not agree, Rou'er will kneel here and not get up."
Fang Rou raised her head, and two lines of tears slowly slid down her face. Her tearful eyes made her look so pitiful.
Lu Jing sighed, "Why don't you stand up and talk first? Just tell me what you want to say. Why torture yourself like this?"
He was injured during this period, and Fang Rou was the only female member of the mansion who took care of him every day and asked about his well-being, making Lu Jing feel the tenderness and warmth of the past.
Zhuhong was not in good health and had not fully recovered. Liulu came a few times, but she had to help her sister take care of the children, so she came and went in a hurry.
As for Shen Ruoyan, after visiting once, she was busy managing the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion and had no time to come over at all.
In the end, it was only Fang Rou who stayed by his side and never left him.
Lu Jing's eyes were gentle, thinking that Fang Rou had been wronged by other concubines. Anyway, there were only a few things that often happened between women, and he was used to it.
Who knew that this time, Fang Rou shook her head and insisted, "My Lord, let Rouer kneel down."
Fang Rou raised her head and looked at Lu Jing. Her eyes were aggrieved and determined. When she spoke, her lower lip was trembling slightly, which made Lu Jing's heart ache.
"Okay, okay, whatever you say. Then tell me, what is it that makes you feel so wronged?"
Men are always the most talkative when they are full of ambition and pride.
Fang Rou organized her words in her mind and thought for a long time before she slowly spoke: "My Lord, I know that the prince is excellent and his position is not something that ordinary people like me can dream of. But seeing that the prince is so happy now, I can't help but think of my poor son..."
At this point, she couldn't help but choke up, wiping her tears while continuing, "If Kang Ge could have the opportunity to study at the Imperial Academy, he would definitely not disappoint the Marquis. But now, he doesn't even have this extravagant hope..."
Lu Ankang has no identity in Zhuangzi.
Even though the servants all knew that he was the master of the mansion, he was still a master who could not be seen in public.
Lu Ankang was born very smart, with big eyes that blinked at Lu Jing. Even now, Lu Jing can still recall how excited he was when they looked at each other.
After all, this was the child he raised personally, so Lu Ankang held a different importance in his heart.
Before, he had been concerned about Prince Shun, so he didn't dare let Lu Ankang show up.
But now he is the emperor's savior, and he no longer has to be as cowardly as before!
Shen Ruoyan did not stop any dignitaries who came to visit the Marquis' Mansion during this period.
Although the doctor said that it would be best for Lu Jing to rest, these people were just flattering him, and Lu Jing liked them very much. As his wife, how could she be so cruel as to turn them away?
So Shen Ruoyan let in everyone who came to visit.
These people boasted in front of Lu Jing every day, saying how much the emperor valued him and how proud he was now in the court. Lu Jing heard it so many times that he took all these polite compliments as true!
Now seeing Fang Rou crying in front of him, Lu Jing recalled the panic and anxiety he had felt when he had offended Prince Shun's Mansion.
At that time, not to mention Lu Ankang, even he himself was like a dog, as if the power of life and death was all in the hands of Prince Shun. He would never forget that feeling of humiliation in his life!
Now that he has been appreciated by the Emperor, is he still going to live a humiliating life like before? !
Even if he brought Lu Ankang back, what would happen if Prince Shun's Mansion recognized him?
Things are different now than in the past. As long as Prince Shun has any brains, he will not fall out with the emperor's favorite over such a trivial matter!
"Okay! I'll send someone to bring Brother Kang back. It's time for you and your son to be reunited."
Lu Jing waved his hand and made the decision directly.
At this moment, his heart suddenly became extremely happy!
Taking Lu Ankang back seemed to bring back the confidence he had lost in Prince Shun’s mansion - he no longer had to be afraid!
