Not to mention Lin Jia, even First Princess Pingning who was resting on the soft pillow sat up straight.
The child's eyes were clear and bright. With a single glance, one could tell that he was extremely intelligent!
The Grand Madam was even more anxious, he ordered the Nanny Chen to pull Lin Shu up and asked him: ”What's going on? Is there something wrong? ”She's usually a very thoughtful child. I believe that she arrived late because she's not feeling well. Good child, don't cry.”
After saying that, she looked at Mu Lan and instructed her in a low voice, ”Since Fourth Miss is not feeling well, then close the door. Don't let Fourth Miss take a breather.”
She had always felt that Lin Shu was someone who needed to worry. Now that she had caused such a commotion, she definitely had no good intentions … Closing the door would allow a few people to know what was going on inside the house.
No matter what idea Lin Shu had, she had no good intentions!
Mu Lan had only taken a few steps when Actinin Qin walked over and blocked her way.
The ladies present were all intelligent, upon seeing the situation, how could they not understand? They immediately stopped playing with their identity cards, and their eyes all landed on Lin Shu who was kneeling on the ground.
Her elegant and beautiful face was covered in tears, making one's heart ache.
In today's situation, Lin Shu had already thought about it countless times in the middle of the night. A barefoot person who wasn't afraid of shoes, she wasn't afraid of anything, she only raised her voice and said: ”I'm only begging First Princess Pingning and Grandmother to spare my life!”
Grand Madam's already defeated face became even more pale. He clenched the buddhist beads in his hands even more tightly, ”Sister Shu, what do you mean by this?”
Lin Shu took a deep breath, her voice becoming louder and louder, she had invited some of the madams who were watching the show outside, but she did not care at all, ”Grandmother, I am a human, a living person. I am only thirteen years old now, why are you so determined to marry me to the First Princess Pingning's dead little son? I self-proclaimed myself as someone who has been respectful and filial to you all these years, who has never done anything to disgrace my Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion and face, are you so intolerant of me? ”
The Grand Madam had an extremely good face, even if it was because of the matters of the Princess Changze that she and Lin Shu had a ruckus, like water and fire, and he was even extremely unwilling to even look at Lin Shu again. But after Lin Shu accompanied the Madam Lian to the manor, and was brought up from the outside, this filial granddaughter of hers, he pitifully wiped away his tears, saying that Lin Shu was a filial and sensible person, he himself was unwilling to even look at this obedient granddaughter of hers.
Moreover, Lin Shu was not obedient and did not understand, so she might not be able to win again.
Everything happened too quickly, and the Grand Madam didn't even manage to react for a long time. In merely an instant, the lady that they were talking about turned from Zhang Yuanqing to Lin Shu … It was as if Lin Shu was even more pitiful than him!
Lin Shu then looked at First Princess Pingning, and spoke word by word: ”As the Crown Princess, First Princess Pingning has very high standards, I am lucky to be able to enter your eyes, but First Princess Pingning, I only wish to live a peaceful life, I beg of you, please forgive me, okay? ”There are so many ladies in the capital that I am unwilling. There must be some other lady who is willing to marry you. Since ancient times, marriage has always been a good thing for both genders …”
Lin Jia slowly came back to reality and berated loudly: ”Sister Shu, are you stupid? What nonsense are you spouting? ”
No matter if it was her, Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion or the First Princess Pingning Palace, they couldn't afford to lose face like that. A widow for a lifetime? This was something that only a poor man would do!
Lin Shu looked at Lin Jia coldly, and laughed: ”What nonsense am I saying? Big sister, do you dare to swear on Juan Niang's life that you guys aren't planning this in the dark? Even if I were to spout nonsense, how would I possibly lose my reputation as a Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion cultivator? Who could afford to lose their life? At this point, I have no other choice but to say these words in front of all the ladies. I hope that all of you ladies can speak for me! ”
As she said that, she took a deep breath and then said indifferently: ”If, truly, there comes a day when a marriage decree is passed down in the palace, I would dare to go against the imperial edict. When that day comes, all of you can carry my corpse and tablet into the First Princess Pingning Palace.
Her voice was loud and cold, completely unlike her usual tone of speech, which was neither hurried nor slow. For a moment, even Lin Jia did not know how to respond.
She had grown up with the Grand Madam and also believed in the legends of ghosts and gods. She believed even more in the fact that the heavens had eyes … She did not dare to casually take Juan Niang's life as a joke!
Grand Madam's fingers that were holding the buddhist beads had already turned slightly white. How could she have such big guts … She wished that he could immediately have her mouth strangled.
On the other hand, First Princess Pingning who had been silent all this time slowly stood up, and said in a gloomy voice: ”What, does Fourth Miss feel that marrying into my First Princess Pingning Palace is unfair?”
She felt that Lin Shu should be grateful towards her. If her youngest son was still alive, with Lin Shu's identity, how could he possibly marry into the First Princess Pingning Palace? She was giving Lin Shu face!
Lin Shu raised her head, not the least bit afraid, ”Could it be that First Princess Pingning doesn't feel that I'm wronged? If I marry a dead man, my life will be ruined … Since First Princess Pingning thinks that I have overstepped my boundaries, then why didn't you openly invite the matchmaker over to propose marriage, and instead think of such a vile method behind his back! ”
