C38 (2/2)

As for the Auntie Zhong, she was naturally in a hurry to cry too. She only said that her Lian Jieer had been by her side for seven or eight years without leaving her side.

It was a pity Lin Pei said coldly: ”Earlier was Tang Geer, and now is the Lian Jieer. Did you think you could raise both children crooked? To be able to raise Lian Jieer under second sister's tutelage, after a few years when her marriage cannot even be considered good, what is there to be dissatisfied about? ”

Ever since the matter with Lin You Ting, Lin Pei had not been as gentle towards her as he was before, and she no longer dared to speak any further.

Although her relationship with Lin Shu had been growing farther and farther apart, that did not mean that she wanted to play with a concubine. She did not have the guts to go up to Grand Madam and say no.

That day, when Madam Lian talked back to her in front of everyone, she had been holding back her anger, but Madam Lian's words seemed to have no flaws …

Grand Madam could only use the harvest from the village as an example, saying that last year's harvest was 30% less than the previous year's, and the tenants' commission on the bordering manor had also increased by 10%.

Madam Lian was extremely busy every day.

Lin Shu was very worried, but Madam Lian said it was fine. She remembered that there were not many things in her previous life, was it because she had been reborn that she changed the trajectory of things?

But what she wanted most to change was her mother's death.

Fortunately, Actinin Qin managed to get a clear understanding of the situation in just a few days, ”... Back then, the person who went to Lian Family to propose marriage was the old Duke Master, and at that time, his Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion was in turmoil and the emperor had ordered to punish corrupt officials. Not only did she spend all the silver in his Duke Mansion all day and all the time, he had also embezzled two hundred thousand taels of silver from the imperial government, and at that time, the Grand Madam knew that he was extremely angry and borrowed all the silver that he should borrow and even requested to borrow. The people he should have asked for, but he was still short of two hundred thousand taels.

”When the marriage was set, Old Duke Master told Grand Madam and Master about it. He said that Grand Madam passed out from anger and said that he wanted to break the engagement, but the Old Duke Master said that if we did not make the marriage with Lian Family, where would we get the money from? At that time, not to mention the old master, even the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion will suffer, and the old Duke Master will call the old master to the study room. No one knows what the two of them said, but in the end, the old master also agreed to this marriage. ”

”A few years after Madam entered, the old Duke Master … Grand Madam and Old Master did not like Madam from the start, but after the old Duke Master died, they became even more unscrupulous. You tell me, this person was too shameless, he used Lian Family's silver to help them get through the crisis, and now Madame is helping them with their family affairs, they … How can they do that to the Lady? ”

Lin Shu laughed coldly and said: ”What do you think is strange? I feel that it's not strange at all, since every single person in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion has come to eat meat without even spitting out bones. ”

Pausing for a moment, she continued, ”Alright, I understand. Don't tell anyone else about this.”

Actinin Qin nodded: ”This servant knows what to do.” This matter was caused by her taking advantage of the fact that she had invited Peony to eat together with her and had even drunk a few cups of wine before finally saying anything. Even now, Peony still didn't know what she had said.

But even if Peony was drunk, it was not slanderous at all to scold Lin Pei and Grand Madam, so much that even Actinin Qin felt that Fifth Master was not a man.

He really wanted to encourage her mother to leave with her. Even if they couldn't leave each other, it would be good if Lin Pei could divorce her. Only, her mother would definitely not be willing to part with her.

After thinking over and over again, Lin Shu finally thought of a good idea. She pretended to be sick and the mother and daughter then moved him to the villa.

As for what kind of storm Lin Pei and the Princess Changze would cause in the capital, it had nothing to do with her, as long as she and his mother were alright.

With that thought in mind, she fell into a deep sleep.

When the second day came to Fanghua Garden, Peony told her wife that she still had not woken up yet. The Grand Madam was in a hurry to settle accounts. The Madam had been reading the accounts day and night, and his eyes were about to tear up. The servant advised, but the Madam refused to listen. My lady, I'll listen to you the most. ”

Lin Shu nodded her head, the idea in her mind was even more feasible. She waited for the mother and daughter to go to the villa, whoever wanted to control the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion would have nothing to do with them.

Originally, he thought that no matter what, Madam Lian would sleep until noon, but it was already time for him to get up.

Lin Shu sat at the side and watched as Madam Lian casually combed her hair. She was wearing an ordinary dress and was eating porridge, and a ray of sunlight shone through the gaps of the camphor tree onto the white bottle placed on the table, plain and blissful.
