Lin Shu felt that something was amiss, she pulled Lin Hui's hand and walked a few steps forward, ”Let's go over and see what's going on.”

Although Lin Hui was half a beat slower, she noticed that something was amiss and said: ”Why don't we not go? ”If something really has to do with us, Grandmother will never forgive us …”

Although Grand Madam was normally easy to talk about, if he got angry, no one could stop him, and Grand Madam viewed Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion's reputation as extremely important.

Lin Shu released her hand, and said softly: ”Then stand here and wait for me, I'll be right back.”

But before she could completely let go of his hand, Lin Hui once again grabbed her hand, ”I'll go with you. You only have Actinin Qin with you, I'll go with you.

Lin Shu's heart felt soft. Although this third sister of her looked unreliable, her heart was extremely kind.

The two of them walked along the lake and after a few steps, they saw a person flopping in the water.

Even though he couldn't see the man's face clearly, he was wearing indigo brocades.

Cloud brocade, one is priced in gold.

Not even every master in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion could afford to wear these, let alone the Duke Chengan Palace.

Although they were all at the Duke Mansion, the people at the Duke Chengan were all lacking. Other than one Duke Chengan that was highly regarded by the Emperor, the rest of the people were all gone, not even a single person in the imperial court had a chance to speak.

Lin Shu immediately ordered the two servants that were accompanying him: ”Quickly go and find someone, tell them someone fell into the water.”

Lin Hui was extremely frightened, there were not many people in Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, but it could be considered simple. With such a large matter, only sisters would be able to exchange a few words, this was the first time she had witnessed such a thing, ”If, if he dies, what do we do?”

Even though we have already ordered for no guests to come to the lakeside, we are not afraid of ten thousand. If something were to really happen to the Duke Chengan Palace, how are we going to escape? ”There must be a woman who knows water from the owl nearby!” Lin Shu saw that Actinin Qin and the rest were already far away, and had pulled Lin Hui far away too, ”Let's go quickly, if we wait for people to come, then we will be in trouble.”

She had already done what she needed to do and what she could do.

When the two of them went to First Madam's side, First Madam had already been looking for Lin Hui for a while. When she saw her daughter, she immediately lowered her voice and said, ”Where did the two of you go? ”What kind of place is this, for you to be able to run around like this?”

Lin Hui felt that she was too scared to say anything.

Even Lin Shu's heart was thumping. ”I'm accompanying Third Sister to the toilet.”

First Madam gave her a deep glance. There was displeasure in her eyes, but she did not speak further.

Not long after, the new Duke Chengan entered the door. If it was before, these two would have gone to join in the commotion, but after what happened just now, the two of them were no longer interested in it.

Lin Hui took advantage of the moment when the Duke Chengan and the new Duke Chengan's wife were paying their respects to the hall to say in secret, ”... Do you think that person is dead? ”

Actinin Qin and the servant by her side quickly found a wife, but they did not know whether that person was alive or dead.

Lin Shu squeezed her hand, and said in a low voice: ”Wait and see.” Such a big thing had happened in the Duke Chengan Palace, even if she wanted to hide it, she couldn't.

As expected, after Duke Chengan and the new Duke Chengan's wife finished bowing, a woman rushed in, ”Not good, not good, someone fell into the water.”

This was the disadvantage of not having a female patriarch, what did a woman like Xiao Shui know? Wasn't it because they were looking for an urgent matter and seeing which family's master it was, so that everyone present could recognize him?

All of a sudden, the wives started panicking and sent people to look for their sons.

Even the First Madam sent people to take a look.

Lin Shu and the other girls were placed in the parlour, and all of them started talking at once, ”… It should be the old man from National Duke Ning Palace. I just saw the old man from National Duke Ning Palace walking towards the lakeside. ”

”Is that so? When the old man of the National Duke Ning Palace heard that he was born of a concubine, the National Duke Ning's mistress never liked him.
