In this way, Grand Madam would naturally not retort, and even look forward to it. Although he was not satisfied with Princess Changze's daughter-in-law, how could he be satisfied with Madam Lian? After all, the Princess Changze was better, at least his status was in the spotlight. Even if the final matter were to be exposed, it would be because of the Princess Changze, what does that have to do with their Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion?
At that time, how could the Princess Changze spread the news of her slandering Lin Pei? In this way, a Fifth Madam died in their Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, and thus became their victim …
The more he thought about it, the more Grand Madam felt that this idea was very good, and he completely forgot about the words he had promised Lin Shu.
Lin Shu, however, was so worried that she did not sleep for the entire night. In the morning, she went to the Fanghua Garden, and since Madam Lian was still sleeping, she asked Hibiscus to come over. ”How is Mother?”
Compared to the loyal and strict peony, Hibiscus' words were naturally easier to put into words.
Hibiscus shook her head and said in a low voice, ”I was out on night duty last night, and I could only hear the Madam's tossing and turning sounds. It wasn't until the first light of dawn that I stopped moving …” ”Although Madam doesn't say anything, this servant always feels that Madam is very worried about this matter. Miss, please advise Madam on this matter later, there will definitely be a way.”
Peony and Hibiscus were the two maidservants Uncle Lin Shu had chosen for Madam Lian. These two maidservants were very loyal, and not only was the indenture contract between them in the hands of Madam Lian, even their family of elders was in the hands of Uncle Lin Shu. Thus, Madam Lian did not hide this matter from them.
Madam Lian woke up not long after. Presumably because she didn't sleep well that night, she didn't get up to comb her makeup. She only leaned on the bed, asking for peony herb to call Lin Shu to come in.
When she entered the room, Lin Shu discovered that her mother's eyelids were all green and purple.
The crisp ”mother” made Madam Lian have a smile on her face. She waved at Lin Shu, telling him to sit beside her bed, ”Why are you here so early today?”
Lin Shu also laughed along, but she didn't know how sad she was feeling. ”I wanted to eat breakfast with you, but who knew that you actually slept once. Why don't you ask elder sister Peony to serve you a bowl of milk porridge first? I just tasted the new osmanthus cake from the kitchen, and I also think it's pretty good. Although it's used with Chen Gui Hua, the taste isn't bad, I know you don't like sweet food, there's only some honey in it, I bit into it, and I'm full of the osmanthus fragrance. ”
After saying that, she did not wait for Madam Lian to speak and went to instruct Peony.
Madam Lian watched her daughter bustling in and out. Although there was a smile on her face, it did not reach her eyes.
Currently, Lin Shu's face was still covered with injuries. Although it was not serious, with such a delicate and pretty face with a few additional scars, the mother's heart was more upset than anyone else.
Waiting for Lin Shu to place the osmanthus cake next to Madam Lian's mouth, the Madam Lian said indifferently: ”Sister Shu, do you hate him?”
Lin Shu was slightly taken aback.
The Madam Lian gave a bitter laugh and said: ”Even if he has thousands of faults, all of them are your father's. With his bloodline flowing in his veins, when he does such dirty things, on one side is your mother and on the other is your father. I know that you pretend that you don't care, but my heart is feeling worse than anyone else.”
With that, she let out a long sigh, ”Even if I really want to hate him, I won't reveal my points on the surface. Otherwise, you will become an unfilial daughter in everyone's eyes. Such a hat is not a joke.”
Lin Shu only nodded her head to say that she knew, but she understood this logic a lot clearer than her mother. It was just that in her previous life, she still had some hope, and thought that Princess Changze might have forced her mother to death.
When he cut it open, his eyes were filled with blood.
Just as Lin Shu was accompanying the Madam Lian to speak, the voice of the Maid came over, ”Madam, Miss, the Second Madam is here. She said that the Jiang Family has sent over a few baskets of high quality honey oranges, and brought some over!”
Madam Lian sneered, ”You're here to send me off? ”I think he's just here to ask for more information!”
Lin Shu knew that his mother's personality was not suitable for scheming, once she said a few words, she would be caught off guard. It was no wonder that all the money from Lian Family were sent like water into the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, the Grand Madam still did not like his mother, ”Calm down, I will go out and deal with Second Aunt.”
Madam Lian nodded her head, agreeing.
No matter what, it was her own family, she did not need to worry about anyone harming her Sister Shu.
When they were waiting for Lin Shu to rush to the side chamber, Second Madam was already a little impatient from waiting. When he saw that she was alone, a flash of unhappiness passed through his face, but in the next moment, she grabbed Lin Shu's hand and said affectionately: ”My poor Sister Shu, I only heard about this today. Does it matter? ”I have some high-quality Gold Sore Medicine there. If you put it on, you won't even be able to leave a scar.”
