C48 (2/2)
The sister-in-law and sister-in-law also seemed to be in harmony with each other in private, but in plain view, they seemed more like sisters by blood.
First Madam smiled and nodded.
”I'm going to complain to your mother-in-law. I'm afraid that they're using our name to set up a banquet all day, so it's a good opportunity for them to take advantage of this general's household …”
For a moment, everyone laughed together. Lin Shu also laughed at the same time, but her heart was not happy at all.
With Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion setting up a feast, am I tired to the point of worrying about my mother again? This time, Princess Changze called out to see his mother …
Even on the carriage on the way back, Lin Shu still felt uncomfortable in her heart, something that hadn't appeared in her previous life.
It was still Lin Hui who pulled on her sleeve and softly whispered: ”... In a few days, our family will have a flower viewing feast, and Princess Changze will also come over. If Grandmother was happy, would you have forgotten to punish me? ”
”It should be. Grandmother might be happy when she finds out about this.” Lin Shu laughed, but she was a little absent-minded.
As he waited for Lin Shu and the others to follow Grand Madam to the Green Pine Academy, Grand Madam's face filled with joy. Even on the road, he could not help but say, ”… Even though the Princess Changze hasn't gotten married yet, both the empress dowager and the emperor are very proud people. I'm afraid that if we were to arrange a marriage in the future, this family's position won't be low either. It'll be a hundred benefits if we get to know the Princess Changze well, so the two of you have done very well today. ”
Because of the matter regarding Madam Ye, First Madam had already been ignored by Grand Madam for a long time, and after hearing this, she said even more: ”Originally my wife was prepared to invite Madam National Duke Ning to come along. Seems like when we started talking about this matter, Madam National Duke Ning's face was light, and he did not say anything.”
”Madam National Duke Ning … Forget it! ” Grand Madam thought about the cold treatment he had received in front of National Duke Ning. Although he was prepared to go, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart, ”Ignoring everything else, it's already strange that Princess Changze is willing to sit down and talk amiably with Madam National Duke Ning, but the empress dowager is the direct sister of Madam National Duke Ning. She relies on the empress dowager, saying that the empress and Empress have never been on good terms with each other, and even if the Princess Changze is willing to go to the palace, it's probably because the National Duke Ning is willing to come to the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion to admire the flowers. Naturally, Madame National Duke Ning isn't willing to come …”
While these few people were speaking, they had already entered the side chamber.
Seeing that, Second Madam immediately held onto Grand Madam's hand and supported him in, ”Mother finally understands, my wife thinks that Princess Changze is purposely trying to befriend us, and that Princess Changze is the one who will lead the flower viewing feast, we must definitely not lose face!”
The Grand Madam nodded, ”I will give the orders regarding this matter.”
First Madam and Second Madam were very happy. After all, being on good terms with Princess Changze was beneficial to their young ladies. However, they felt that Grand Madam seemed to be unhappy.
But Second Madam did not think too much into it. He only thought that since Grand Madam was old and a bit tired, ”Today Mother was also tired for a day, so my wife brought Sister Qian down to wait for me tomorrow to come pay respects.”
The Grand Madam nodded his head and took his leave.
But Grand Madam glanced at Lin Hui and said indifferently: ”You go down first, Sis Hui'er will stay behind!”
Although the First Madam was not at ease, she still turned around and left, taking three steps at a time.
However, Lin Hui, who was holding onto Lin Shu's hand, did not let go at all. She only felt that there was one more person in the room, which gave her more confidence.
Grand Madam picked up the tea Gu, took a sip, and said indifferently: You made a mistake, don't tell me you want Sister Shu to be punished together with you?
Lin Hui immediately released her hand.
Lin Shu then gave her a look that said he did not need to worry, and went down.
”You always have a noisy personality. I don't know how many times I've told you and your mother, but why can't you change your personality? Not mentioning learning from your big sister, even learning from Sister Qian is good! ” Although it was a reprimand, Grand Madam's tone was not as strict as usual.
Lin Hui's hanging heart finally relaxed a little. ”I, I … I just forgot about it for a moment, so I yawned. Grandmother, I won't dare to do it anymore. If there's a next time, you … you'll punish me to copy the 'Woman Ring' a hundred times. ”
Although she was a mischievous person, one thing was because she was extremely quick to admit her mistakes.
Grand Madam shook his head, his face becoming stern, ”When have you ever made a mistake and didn't say the same thing? ”It's fine this time, but if there's a next time, I'll also invite a nurturing mama from the palace back for you. I'll have you properly learn the rules from that mama …”
Lin Hui couldn't help but shiver when she thought of the rearing mama beside Lin Lian.
