And now, in the second room, Lin Lian heard Second Madam's joyous voice, and his tears fell like beads that had dropped, ”... Now that Princess Changze and I can be considered as close friends, and that Princess Changze is only two or three years younger than me, if I can use this opportunity to have Princess Changze take him as my goddaughter, then what kind of marriage can't I find in Sister Qian? ”
”Mother, what nonsense are you spouting? Your daughter doesn't want to get married. She wants to be by your side for the rest of her life.” Lin Qian's charming voice entered Lin Lian's ears, making her understand the meaning of her words.
Lin Lian gripped the handkerchief tightly, but her tears began to fall even more violently.
What kind of virtue does Lin Qian possess, that she still doesn't know? Even in her dreams, she would want to marry a good family!
On the surface, the mother and daughter both looked like people who were very close to each other, but in truth, their hearts and hearts were both black. When she first came to the Second Branch, Grand Madam often asked her about it, her diet and living conditions were the same as Lin Qian, at least on the surface they were the same.
She was just waiting for the incident with Auntie Zhong to happen, then the second branch's attitude towards her also changed. On the surface, the Second Madam was still telling her to look for her if anything is lacking, but there were some things that shouldn't be said.
The instant noodles was still exactly the same as Lin Qian, but the quality and taste was much worse than before, especially the one on the east slope at noon today. Was he bullying her because she hadn't eaten the east slope's elbow before? She had never seen a chef who made East Slope elbows full of mushrooms, tofu, and bamboo shoots. The elbow inside only contained two or three pieces, and it was still pure bone. There wasn't a single piece that could be eaten …
Thinking of this, Lin Lian felt even more wronged. She lay down on the bed and began to cry.
When she thought about how she had gone out to visit Grand Madam while they were gone, and how she had to lock all the capable maidservants in the house, and how she had to send a letter to Auntie Zhong after spending all her personal money, the Auntie Zhong only replied her with four words — Calm down.
Be patient? Now that someone had bullied her, how could she remain calm?
But now, no matter how anxious she was, she still could not catch a glimpse of the Auntie Zhong.
Lin Lian, on the other hand, never expected that the news of her and Auntie Zhong sending a message today would already be known by Lin Shu.
Rui Zhi had lost face in front of Lin Shu, and now that she had told her the news, it was as if she was offering her a treasure.
However, Lin Shu's attention was all placed on the Flower Lover Banquet in a few days time, so she was not really interested in this news. Even if Auntie Zhong is like a trapped beast now, they still have their own schemes. After what happened, Lin Lian hasn't even seen Auntie Zhong once.
”Although the Auntie Zhong has already fallen out of favor, there is no need for you to worry. However, you should send people to keep an eye on Falling Swallow Garden. I'm afraid that she still has some tricks up her sleeve.”
”Yes.” Although Rui Zhi agreed, she was still disappointed in her heart. After quarreling with the Nanny Zhu, she had become smarter.
However, no matter how smart and obedient he was, what could he do? If the girl didn't want to use her, what could she do? She had been staring at the Falling Swallow Garden every single day recently, and seeing Actinin Qin acting good by the girl's side made her feel as if she had eaten a fly.
But when she thought about how Nanny Zhu's situation was similar to hers, she finally felt better.
After Rui Zhi left, Actinin Qin worriedly asked: ”Miss, what happened to you? It seems like you have been worrying a lot ever since you returned from National Duke Ning Palace … ”
Lin Shu shook her head and softly said: ”Nothing much, you have been by my side for the whole day, so you must be tired.
There were many things that had already changed from her past life. She couldn't be hasty, couldn't be chaotic, and now, the more turbulent the situation became, the more careful she had to be.
