Lin Shu and Lin Hui really had a mutual understanding. Once she went to look for Lin Hui, Lin Hui pulled her into the house and closed the door. ”Where did you run off to? Just now, Nanny Wei came to find me a few times, I think that she must have something bad going on, so I told Xiangzi to go out and ask. Nanny Wei said that you were gone, and I thought that you were always a nice person, so I instructed Xiangzi to say that I was taking a nap, and that we can talk about it later.
”Fortunately, I know you can be relied on!” Lin Shu could not help but heave a long sigh. She did not take the Nanny Wei to heart, but she did not want these small matters to affect her mood.
Then, she ordered Actinin Qin to find Nanny Wei, and said that she saw Lin Hui taking a nap, and she went to Lin Hui's study by herself, not even bothering to say anything.
When Actinin Qin got off the stage, Lin Hui grabbed her hand. She wanted to ask her something, but suddenly shouted in a sharp voice, ”Sister Shu, you … Why is there blood on your sleeve? ”
Today, Lin Shu was wearing a lotus root colored pomegranate dress. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to see the bloodstains on her sleeves.
Lin Shu lowered her head to look. The speck of blood was actually mixed with the pomegranate pattern on her sleeve.
”How can I not ask?” Lin Hui's face revealed some worry, but he had the look of a big sister, ”You went out for so long already, and there are even blood stains on your sleeves. How can I not be worried? If he really was going out to visit the rouge shop, why would he need to hide it from Nanny Wei? Even if Green Pine Academy didn't agree, Fifth Aunt would … What's going on? ”
If it was the past, Lin Shu might have even told her about today's matter, but today, she would not say anything.
Lin Hui's marriage was set to happen in the autumn of next year. Although Lin Hui had agreed to it, Lin Hui's face was not smiling at all, and even though her face was slowly growing, her eyes were not breathing at all, and even more so, she threw the matter of embroidery to Xiang Zai and the rest … She felt sad.
Thinking to this point, Lin Shu said, ”Third sister, don't ask anymore. I'm fine, and I won't leave home without permission in the future …. ”The blood on my sleeve isn't mine. If you don't believe me, just look at me, I'm perfectly fine now …”
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing a pair of white and tender arms.
Only then did Lin Hui relax a bit, ”But if you didn't say anything, I would have been worried about you for a long time …”
If she did, she would be even more worried!
Lin Shu just laughed and started to talk about other things, ”... Do you know what I heard when I went out? They said that the authorities had already found out about Shao Xi's case, that Shao Xi was harmed by that wife, and after that wife killed Shao Xi and the little girl by Shao Xi's side, she committed suicide.
In fact, thinking about it, it was within reason. On that day, those who were invited to visit Dafu Temple were all respectable families, and if the officials did not come to a conclusion, then where would they place the dignity of the young masters and maidens?
Just for this reason, the Duke Chengan Palace would always ask the government to close the case hastily in order to settle the matter. Duke Chengan did not have the ability to see, but Shao Shengping could understand the crux of it.
”I was just about to tell you about it.” Lin Hui became interested again as she lowered her voice: ”This morning, my mother told me about this matter as well, and said directly that Duke Chengan is a capable person. A few days ago, he started going to the First Princess Pingning Palace, but I haven't seen him for a while, and even the entire First Princess Pingning Palace doesn't seem to have any good feelings towards him. But it seems like he doesn't know it, as he continuously went to the First Princess Pingning Palace for a few days, and only then did First Princess Pingning see him.”
”Originally, First Princess Pingning Palace and Duke Chengan Palace didn't plan on interacting anymore, but yesterday, I don't know what method Duke Chengan used to convince First Princess Pingning to make this kind of relationship … My sister only said that Duke Chengan from the Duke Chengan Palace would definitely be a huge figure in a few years! ”
Others might not understand Shao Shengping, but Lin Shu did.
Some people would even suspect that Shao Xi's death was related to the Duke Chengan Palace, but Shao Shengping had the ability to turn his disadvantage into an advantage, she could even imagine what Shao Shengping said to the First Princess Pingning two days ago, it was just that he would lower his head in the beginning, and then, he would list out the disadvantages that would have if he were to marry into the First Princess Pingning Palace alive. In the end, no matter if Shao Xi was alive or dead, this marriage would definitely happen.
Furthermore, he would even say that Shao Xi's death, would mean that they were genuine Yin Kinfatuation, and that they would benefit the reputation of the First Princess Pingning Palace unharmed.
In this way, even the First Princess Pingning could not help but think that if the Duke Chengan Palace really took action and killed Shao Xi, then that would be using their hearts to do so …
First Princess Pingning had a much higher opinion of Shao Shengping, the younger generation. In the end, he did not forget to say, ”With how smart you are and how practical you are, you will definitely be able to enter the Pavilion in the future.”
