Nanny Zhu's face originally had some hope, but after hearing this, his mouth moved, but he did not say anything.
Nanny Chen nodded, and the few women continued to attack.
However, Lin Shu entered the house without looking back.
Not long after, Actinin Qin arrived. She only said that Madam Lian was worried that both Nanny Zhu and Rui Zhi would be punished, and that she would be unable to get out of bed in ten to fifteen days, so she came to serve him.
Lin Shu was naturally very happy, she ordered Yun Dou to pack up a room and come out.
Even the matter of accompanying Lin Shu to Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion had fallen onto Actinin Qin.
Actinin Qin was anxious. She was an abandoned baby picked up halfway in the Madam Lian, wholeheartedly but did not know the rules of etiquette. On the first few nights she went to Duke Chengan Palace, she was so anxious that she could not even sleep.
In the blink of an eye, the day to visit the Duke Chengan's Palace arrived.
Early in the morning, First Madam and her daughter Lin Hui, along with her daughter Lin Qian and Lin Lian, had all gone to First Madam.
The only thing missing was the Madam Lian, but no one felt it was strange. During such an important occasion, the Madam Lian would never go.
The capital's madam's social interaction is all about status. This identity isn't only related to your current status, but also to whether your family has any outstanding people. The Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion definitely wouldn't allow a merchant's daughter to socialize.
Although this was how the Madam Lian had been for many years, once they boarded the carriage, Lin Shu more or less felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
A few young misses sat on a horse carriage, they could only hear Lin Hui chattering non-stop, and could not help but pull aside the curtain to size up the street outside.
At first, Lin Qian advised Lin Shu a little, but now she was leaning on the horse carriage and napping.
As for Lin Lian, she sat upright and her face was filled with joy.
Lin Shu's gaze fell on her face, but she did not move away, Lin Lian likes Shao Shengping right? She had already liked her in her previous life. Otherwise, according to her status in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, there was no reason for a concubine to be a concubine. Yet, Lin Lian was forced to be like this.
Right now, Lin Lian's face was covered with makeup, making her look even more delicate and pretty.
However, the rouge in the makeup pavilion was twenty taels of silver per box. It was not something that she could afford, and she had spent a lot of money to buy it.
When Lin Lian saw Lin Shu looking at her as if she were measuring her, she became even more confident. She was even more confident that this bumpkin who only knew how to eat, how could she know about the rouge of the Jewelry Pavilion?
Looking at her arrogant expression, Lin Shu felt like laughing, ”Fifth sister seems to be especially beautiful today.”
”Is that so?” She was the second daughter of the Kong family, and had a lively personality. Originally, it was as if she was enemies with Lin Shu and she had only seen him quarrel once, but now, she wanted to argue with Lin Shu instead. Lin Shu smiled at her, making her feel weird.
”My fifth sister's face seems to be covered in powder. Every time my big sister comes back, her face would look the same, smooth and red. She looked really good.”
Her big sister was naturally the first daughter of the Kong Family — — Lin Jia.
She had even secretly touched her big sister's rouge before, but her big sister had scolded her, saying only that children could not use these, as it would harm their skin.
Lin Lian gritted her teeth. ”No, I don't have any powder on me. I …” ”I went to bed early last night, so I look pretty good today.”
Lin Hui was skeptical, she had never been a shrewd girl.
However, Lin Shu said with a smile: ”But why do I hear from Actinin Qin that most of the lights in the Falling Swallow Garden were lit up last night. I thought that Fifth Sister was thinking about what kind of clothes she was going to wear today, and didn't expect that she would fall asleep so early … However, whether there is such a thing as powdering up, let's just touch your face for a bit. ”
She couldn't bear to see Lin Lian treat the bystanders as fools.
Lin Hui was currently holding onto a small bowl of grapes. Upon hearing this, before Lin Lian could even open her mouth to speak, she was the first to wipe the grape juice off.
Lin Lian hurriedly used a handkerchief to wipe her face, but some of the dark purple juice still remained on her face.
Lin Hui looked at the powder on her finger and was a little angry: ”You're still saying that you don't have any powders left, look at what all this is!”
”You …” However, Lin Lian was so angry that she couldn't even speak. She could only twist her body to the side in anger.
Lin Hui could not help but mutter to herself, ”... She was angry, and I was also angry. I had obviously smeared a little powder on my face, yet she lied to us that she didn't have any, she already knew how to lie at such a young age, and was like a fox spirit like her aunt! Waiting for her to ruin her face and see how she can still be proud of herself. Sister Shu, don't worry, it won't be too late for us to powder her when we're 15 or 16 years old, I'm afraid we won't be able to match up to her then! ”
