Chapter 208: Ginger is still spicier when old
"any request?"
Madam Lu instantly became alert. At this critical juncture, the request that Shen Ruoyan wanted to make must be not simple.
Lu Jing didn't think too much about it and said straightforwardly: "You tell me! As long as I can do it, there's no problem!"
"Really?" Shen Ruoyan smiled slightly, and that smile seemed a little sarcastic, but soon, when Lu Jing looked at her again, he no longer had that feeling.
Maybe he saw it wrong.
Shen Ruoyan loves him so much, how could she possibly mock him?
"My request is actually not difficult. All I need is for the Marquis to give me a notarized certificate."
Guarantee?
What is this?
Lu Jing had never heard of such a thing before, so he subconsciously asked, "What kind of guarantee letter is this? What is it for?"
Shen Ruoyan smiled and explained carefully: "As long as the Marquis writes that no matter what happens in the future, the Marquis's heir can only be Lu Yan, and then sign your own name."
As long as it has Lu Jing's personal signature and his private seal, this piece of paper will be Lu Yan's greatest guarantee in the future.
"No!"
Mrs. Lu felt something was wrong after just hearing the beginning. Sure enough, when Shen Ruoyan finished speaking, her face was darker than the bottom of a pot, "Absolutely not!"
Shen Ruoyan was puzzled, "Why is grandma so angry? Yan'er is also the Marquis's biological son, and he is originally the Crown Prince. I did this just to give Yan'er an extra layer of protection. Why not?"
Lu Yan is the crown prince now, and Shen Ruoyan did this just to ensure that he will also be the crown prince in the future.
Madam Lu's reaction was so strange that she had to think more about it.
"Does grandma not intend to let Yan'er be the crown prince?"
You can't say this openly!
Perhaps realizing that her reaction was too emotional, Madam Lu smiled awkwardly and explained in a far-fetched way: "I just didn't react for a moment, and you misunderstood."
She continued, "We are a marquisate after all, a military family. The prince has been decided, and no one can change it. Why do we need to write a letter of guarantee? If it gets out, it will just make people laugh at us!"
Shen Ruoyan said quietly, "My grandmother once told me that Brother Kang was just an adopted son and it didn't matter. Later, she told me that he was the Marquis's biological son and he was even about the same age as Yan'er!"
She spoke clearly and angrily, "What grandma said can be ignored. I just want to give Yan'er more protection, isn't that right?"
Shen Ruoyan seemed to be irritated and raised her voice, "If after Lu Ankang is brought back, grandma and the marquis like him more than Yan'er, then will they also replace Yan'er as the prince for him?"
Her worries are not groundless.
But what Madam Lu and Lu Jing did was really hard to believe.
Their words were like farts, sprayed out with a puff - if you greet them, you will only be hit with a face full of stench!
Lu Jing recalled that the things he had promised Shen Ruoyan before seemed to have never been fulfilled. Moreover, he and his grandmother had indeed been deceiving her.
She even guessed correctly about the replacement of the crown prince.
He is now so valued by the emperor, how can the future prince be a mute?
Not to mention that his grandmother disagreed, even he couldn't stand it.
Lu Yan is the stain in his life. The reason why he can be tolerated to continue occupying the position of the prince is only for the sake of the Shen family's face.
If the status of the Marquis' Mansion is higher than that of the Shen Family in the future, then...
Shen Ruoyan's eyes gradually turned red, and she looked extremely aggrieved.
It seemed like she had been holding these words in her heart for a long time, and now she finally found the opportunity to say them out loud.
It was rare that Madam Lu did not answer immediately. It was not because she felt guilty, but because she was weighing the pros and cons.
For Lu Ankang, is it worthwhile to break up with Shen Ruoyan, no, with the Shen family?
The answer is obvious.
"Okay, if you're really worried, let A Jing write one for you. We're all family, so this isn't really necessary, but since you insist, let's write it."
Old Madam Lu finally relented and asked Lu Jing to write a letter of guarantee to Shen Ruoyan on the spot.
Not only was Lu Jing's name on it, but there was also his private seal. No matter where he went, he had no way of denying it.
This is different from the previous one, it is clearly written above that no matter how many offspring Lu Jing has in the future, no matter what happens to the Marquis' Mansion, as long as Lu Yan is there, he will be the Marquis' Mansion's eldest son and the only heir!
The weight of this letter of guarantee is very heavy.
Old Madam Lu stared at Shen Ruoyan. When she saw her put away the letter of guarantee and put it close to her body, her indifferent eyes began to reveal deeper meanings.
Take it.
I can still hold this piece of paper and use it as some comfort.
In the future, they will naturally find a way to turn this piece of paper into useless waste paper!
After Lu Ankang is brought back, he will be given a legitimate identity. Then we will see who is more promising between him and Lu Sinian - only the most outstanding person can become the final master of the Marquis' Mansion!
Madam Lu even hid these thoughts from Lu Jing.
She doesn't trust anyone, and over the years, she has endured all the ups and downs on her own.
So the person she trusts most is only herself.
When Lu Jing inherited the Marquisate, it was the only option left.
If Madam Lu had other choices at the time, she would not have put herself in such a passive situation now.
However, what happened back then is in the past. People cannot always look back on the past. The future is more important.
Seeing Shen Ruoyan put it away properly, Madam Lu smiled confidently and said, "Are you relieved now?"
Shen Ruoyan nodded, pretending to be relieved, and no longer as indifferent as before. She smiled and said, "I am also doing this for the child. Grandma was also a mother, and I believe she will understand my good intentions."
Ginger is always wiser with age. You can scheme, so why can't I?
How can it be possible to bring back that cheap son from a mistress without paying anything?
Shen Ruoyan smiled and said, "Grandma, since Brother Kang is not in good health, let's bring him back as soon as possible. However, I will ask people to prepare in advance where he will be placed after he comes back."
Now she spoke more straightforwardly. Madam Lu sneered in her heart, but her face was very kind, "You can arrange these small matters. But when the child comes back, we can't make it too conspicuous. I believe you have some concerns in your mind."
You just don't want to be disturbed?
Shen Ruoyan snorted in her heart. It was rare for this grandparents and grandchildren to care about Lu Ankang.
Is it because of the deep friendship between Fang Rou and Lu Jing, or is there some other reason?
It seems that we need to investigate this matter carefully.
