C30 (2/2)
But Lin Shu's voice pulled the Grand Madam back, ”... During this period of time, I drink mung bean lily water everyday. Even when I pay respects to Grandmother in the morning, I came early by less than an hour, afraid that I would be too late in the sun. If you don't believe me, you can just ask Grandmother. ”
The Grand Madam nodded his head, ”There's no need to come too early, this is the time for young lady to grow up, it's fine to sleep for a while.”
Then, she took a sip of her green eyebrows and asked indifferently: ”I heard that your Linglong Pavilion hasn't been peaceful recently?”
Second Madam, who had finally put down the worry in his heart, immediately became nervous again.
Lin Shu anxiously glanced at Grand Madam, then said: ”Grandmother knows about this already? ”You don't have to worry, it's just a small matter …”
”It has already reached my ears, how can this be called a small matter? I'm afraid no one in the entire He’s Mansion doesn't know about it? ” Grand Madam looked at her with a bit of disappointment in her eyes. He frowned: ”You are the direct descendant of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, and also represent the face of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion. A master can't even manage his own courtyard? The servants began arguing. This was a very normal thing to do, but the crux of it was to see how you would do it! ”
She was a shrewd person. In the old days, she was a very popular person. However, under her pressure, none of the concubines in the courtyard had given birth to a child. Not to mention a son, not even a daughter had been born.
It was unknown how many times she had knelt down in front of the study room with her three sons. No matter how heartless the officials in the study were, they were unable to say that she wanted to divorce them.
Lin Shu only glanced at Second Madam and said softly: ”Thank you, Grandmother, for your advice.”
Grand Madam was angered to the point that he did not know what to say. Although his granddaughter was arrogant at the start, she had always kept her words, the servants in the yard did not listen, they just beat her up, and if she did not sell, how did she become so cowardly?
When she thought here, she said even more: ”Old Second's wife, this Nanny Zhu is someone you recommended. What do you think we should do about this?”
Second Madam's heart was complaining nonstop, all these years Nanny Zhu had said many good things about her in front of Lin Shu, who knows how many times she had scolded her, and even scolded her about how many good things Lin Shu had given her, if she could not protect Nanny Zhu, Nanny Zhu would not have done her best like before, ”She is indeed a wife who recommended me, it's just that when my wife gifted me to Sister Shu, she had also sent over the indenture contract, and my wife is a person from the second house, how can I control the affairs of the fifth house? Wife, look, this matter should be left to Fifth Sister-in-Law! ”
Grand Madam only looked at her coldly and did not reply.
The Second Madam could only bite the bullet and say, ”Speaking of which, Nanny Zhu is also in the wrong. Rui Zhi is also in the wrong.
”Then let's do it this way!” As soon as Grand Madam finished speaking, he turned around and went down to give his orders.
The Grand Madam continued, ”At the beginning of next month, Duke Chengan will be reconnecting with you. You guys should also prepare yourselves; when that time comes, do not lose face for Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion.”
Second Madam's face was filled with shock, ”Which family's girl are you marrying? How come I haven't heard anything about it at all? ”
”It's just a rejuvenation, it's not like this is the first time he's getting married. Could it be that the Duke Chengan Palace is still spreading news? He was talking about the first Duke Chengan madam's concubine to have a little sister, he said that the Duke Chengan was still young, if there was no one to take care of him, I would not be able to rest at ease! ” The felt that the Duke Chengan was too kind. The previous Duke Chengan's wife was born in a noble family and was also valued highly by the Emperor. It was reasonable to say that the young lady from the Zhu Clan could be chosen, but he still married her dead wife's younger sister.
A kind-hearted person was destined to be unable to accomplish great things.
Lin Shu heard that they were talking about something like string renewal, so she naturally couldn't stay any longer. She only said that she wanted to go back and practice.
In her previous life, it seemed like this was also the same time for Duke Chengan's Resurrection String. It was just that at that time, she would only be able to visit Duke Chengan's Mansion in a few days time every day, but she did not really want to go now.
She hated Shao Shengping and Lin Lian for sure, but she hated herself even more for not being able to make things difficult for her enemies. There were many ways to make things difficult for Lin Lian, but every time when she tried to make things difficult for him, her mother would always hold the blame for her. She was unwilling;
She wanted to see how Shao Shengping and Lin Lian's lives would end. Of course, at a critical moment like this, she wasn't stingy enough to add fuel to the fire, but right now, she had to properly protect her mother.
After she returned to the Linglong Pavilion, she could hear the screams of the Nanny Zhu and Rui Zhi from far away. Although ten boards were not many, it was not few either.
Seeing Lin Shu coming in, regardless of whether it was Nanny Zhu or not, they were both fine. She could only shout her mistake and cry for help.
Looking at the two's pale faces who were lying on the bench, Lin Shu shot a glance at Nanny Chen who was beside him, ”I naturally can't bear to see you two suffer, it's just that these words were ordered by Second Aunt, and I've gotten Grandmother's approval, so I, I can't say anything!”
It was reasonable to say that this punishment should not have involved people in the courtyard, they could have just casually found a place to hit a board, but Nanny Chen's actions were to set an example for others, clearly telling the servants and wives of Linglong Pavilion that they had to be careful when serving a lady in the future!
