Lin Shu wished that time could stop at this moment forever.
Madam Lian laughed: ”What is Sister Shu thinking? Why does she look so silly, but didn't sleep well last night? ”
”Mother, let's leave the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion together!” Lin Shu said in all seriousness.
Madam Lian looked at her and said with a smile: ”What nonsense are you spouting in the clear sky? If you were to call your grandmother or your father and hear about it, they would definitely be unhappy again. ”
These people were exactly like that. They could allow themselves to do something wrong, but they couldn't allow others to say anything that went against their will.
Lin Shu raised her somewhat youthful face, but what followed after was a pause in each word, ”Mother, I am not spouting nonsense. Now, more and more, I feel that the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion is not a good place, other than that great reputation and a bunch of vile people, what else do you have …”
Madam Lian was so scared that she wanted to cover her mouth with her hands, ”Did someone say something shameful in front of you?”
Lin Shu shook her head, ”No.”
”I know you've grown up and have a lot of ideas. At the bottom of my heart, I also have my own thoughts on whether this Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion is good or bad, Mother knows it better than you, but we can't leave! If you want to leave, the world is big, where can we go? Blood from the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion was flowing through your body, it can't be changed at all times. ”
”Didn't I say to leave the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion forever? We should just leave for a few years!” Lin Shu thought about how his mother in her previous life was lying in the coffin with a pale face, but she still felt fear. ”You don't know, I kept having nightmares about you dying for no reason, and I was afraid …”
Madam Lian laughed and patted her back, ”It's just a dream, it's nothing! Sister Shu is relieved. Mother still wants to watch you grow up safe and sound and watch you get married. How can she abandon you? You said it already, this Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion is not a good place, if Mother leaves, leaving you behind, I'm afraid they will eat you to the point where not even bones will remain. ”
Pausing, she continued, ”Mother knows that you are afraid of a nightmare, but it has yet to happen. How do you know whether it is a beautiful dream or a nightmare? ”There are a lot of things that you can't hide from. I think it's better if you get an imperial physician to take a look for you!”
Lin Shu sighed, she already knew that this would be the outcome.
But Madam Lian's words made her come to her senses. That's right, what was coming would eventually come, so she might as well face it!
There would always be a way to deal with this situation.
It was just that Lin Shu never thought that while they hadn't gotten into much trouble yet, something big had happened with the Falling Swallow Garden.
Lin You Ting was sick, and the sickness was menacing, even when the Grand Madam went over, he was unconscious and yelling that he wanted his elder sister.
When Grand Madam saw it, his face turned dark. He thought that it was a trick of the Auntie Zhong, so he used his hand to probe Lin You Ting's forehead, only to find that it was boiling hot.
Auntie Zhong was so anxious that she started crying on the side. Originally, when Fifth Miss was in the Falling Swallow Garden, he would wait until Sixth Young Master was asleep before going to rest. Waiting for Fifth Miss to go to Second Madam's side, Sixth Young Master was naturally not used to it, I ordered my wet nurse to take good care of him, but who knew that Sixth Young Master took advantage of the moment when my wet nurse was napping to sneak out. He did not even wear shoes, so he got sick from the cold! ”
Grand Madam frowned and said: ”Then sell that wet nurse and get a few more wet nurses to come in. If that's out of the question, we can continue changing them, why are we still keeping them alive if even Sixth Young Master can't take care of them?” In the end, he didn't say anything about Lin Lian coming back.
In fact, Lin Lian had been living in the second chamber during this period of time. The fact that Second Madam did not like her was something that everyone in the second chamber knew.
Second Madam got some advice from the Grand Madam and even specially hired a strong and well-mannered nanny from Jiang Family. That nanny was a strict and stiff old man who came from the palace and was teaching Lin Lian how to walk.
For the past few days, Lin Lian's calves had been covered in bruises.
