Chapter 246 The young marquis returns home for the first time!
The change of owner of the Marquis' Mansion caused a big sensation!
"Madam, how old is Lu Yan? Isn't it absurd to let him take over the Marquis' Mansion now?"
"Yes! He is just a child, and a mute at that. He can't even speak when he is bullied, so he can only go home to find his mother! Isn't it a joke to let him become a marquis?!"
These people are all from the Lu family's side branches. As soon as they heard the news, they quickly made arrangements to come over.
When those things happened in the Marquis Changning's Mansion before, they all retreated away, wishing to tell everyone that they had nothing to do with the people in the Marquis Changning's Mansion and were not the kind of people with vicious hearts!
But now, he can't wait to come to the door, and his calculations are written on his face!
Madam Lu knew what they were up to and was very disdainful of it. However, she did not immediately turn her face away and let them leave, because she knew that these people were still useful and could not be easily dismissed.
"Then what do you think we should do?" She sighed. "You have heard about what is happening outside. I have lived for so long, and I have experienced all kinds of hardships. I am too lazy to care about these groundless rumors. However, the heir to this Marquis' Mansion has been given a word by the Emperor..."
Since the emperor asked Lu Yan to handle household affairs, the meaning is very clear.
Lu Yan is the new master, the new marquis!
This is an indisputable fact!
If anyone is dissatisfied, then they are dissatisfied with the emperor. Old Madam Lu looked at them coldly. These people didn't seem to be unaware of these things.
"Yan'er is the prince, so naturally, this mansion will belong to him in the future. But he is still young and easily deceived, so he needs us, the elders, to help him."
That’s a clever statement!
Lu Yan is going to inherit the Marquis' Mansion. That was a decision made by the Emperor himself and no one can change it.
Although they all wanted to get a piece of the pie, they didn't have the courage to disobey the imperial order!
So they came up with a solution - to rule from behind the scenes!
Lu Yan is young, so naturally he needs someone to help him with ideas.
This person must not be from the Shen family, that is, his biological mother. Otherwise, the entire Lu family would become a one-man show for this mother and son!
Therefore, it would be best if this person came from the Lu family, and it would be most appropriate for them, the elders, to take the position.
"You guys are good at thinking of a solution!" Madam Lu snorted coldly, not wanting to pretend anymore. "Do you think they will buy into your words? Don't forget, Shen Ruoyan is backed by the Shen family!"
If it weren't for this, how could she be in such a passive situation now?
Isn't it because she doesn't have the support of a noble family? !
Madam Lu hated Shen Ruoyan in her heart. What a daughter of an aristocratic family! She had no vision at all! She didn't even know the simple truth that family disgrace should not be made public!
She has made herself infamous now, but it is of no benefit to Shen Ruoyan.
Now in Shengjing City, everyone knows that the eldest daughter of the Shen family is not easy to mess with. If you make her angry, she will really make a fuss and don't care about anything. So no one dares to provoke her.
Especially those famous and prominent families, who pay more attention to their reputation - if Shen Ruoyan Ruoshi wants to remarry, no one will want her!
Thinking of this, Madam Lu finally let out a sigh of relief.
Doesn’t Shen Ruoyan think it’s great to have the support of the Shen family?
She wanted to see if the Shen family would still be so tolerant towards Shen Ruoyan when she became a divorced woman who no one wanted to marry again!
"So what about the Shen family? No matter how powerful they are, can they go beyond propriety, integrity, justice, and morality?!" Someone in the crowd shouted loudly. They had thought about this matter before coming here.
The Shen family has a good reputation and cares most about these false reputations.
Lu Yan inherited the Marquis' Mansion, and they, the elders, took the initiative to step forward to help. Is there any reason to be rejected?
As the biological mother, Shen Ruoyan should avoid suspicion at this time, so as not to let people suspect that she wants to occupy the Marquis' Mansion and subsidize her mother's family - the emperor hates such things the most!
So they all came prepared and had already made their plans.
The only variable is Madam Lu.
Although this old lady had done so many horrific things, because of her age and the fact that she was Lu Yan's elder, even the emperor was reluctant to convict her and pushed the matter onto Lu Yan.
If she were to interfere, it would indeed be a bit tricky.
That’s why they came here collectively today, wanting to speak with one voice.
"The Shen family is just an ordinary family, so they naturally cannot act arbitrarily. But, uncles, do you dare to pat your chest and guarantee that you have done it?"
Shen Ruoyan walked in from outside holding her son's hand.
But in just a few days, Mrs. Lu felt that she was like a different person. Even Lu Yan beside her looked different.
I don’t know how to put it, but it gives people a feeling that he is not easy to mess with.
"Hey, what wind is blowing that brought our young marquis here?" The leader was Lu Yan's second uncle. He was the backbone of these people. Seeing this, he avoided Shen Ruoyan's question and turned to look at Lu Yan.
He just didn't believe that he couldn't control a little mute!
"Hello, Second Uncle."
“Well, hello…” Second Uncle suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Lu Yan in disbelief, “Yan’er, you… you can speak now?!”
The voice he just heard was made by Lu Yan, right?
Even Madam Lu looked over in surprise, "Yan'er, are you alright?"
impossible!
She had specially consulted someone back then, and it was difficult to cure Lu Yan after he was poisoned.
That's why she didn't invest too much energy in Lu Yan over the years.
In her eyes, Lu Yan had long been a discarded chess piece.
"Thanks to my grandmother, Yan'er met a traveling doctor this time. He actually had an antidote to the poison and now he is fully recovered." Traveling doctors were not unfamiliar to the people of Dasheng.
There are always some masters who don't like to be restricted, so they travel around the world.
However, the levels of traveling doctors vary greatly, and meeting a good one requires luck - Lu Yan has just inherited the Marquis' Mansion, and even his muteness has been cured, what a great fortune!
"Good, really good..." Second Uncle said with a sigh, but the expression on his face became heavier.
If Lu Yan gets better, the fact that he is mute can no longer be used as a point of attack. What should we do?
Old Madam Lu was still in shock. Is Lu Yan okay?
Can he speak?
He was also personally named a young marquis by the emperor and took over the marquisate?
So what's the point of all she did?
What else could stop Shen Ruoyan? Protect the Marquis' Mansion for her? !
Do not!no!
Even if it costs her life, she will protect the mansion and everything that belongs to her!
