It's really true, if it wasn't for my marriage, where did the Fanghua Garden come from?

As soon as she entered the room, she began to wail and cry, complaining that the Auntie Zhong was dead. Now that Lin Youlin's whereabouts were unknown, she only wanted to have Lin You Ting serve the Madam Lian well, and think of nothing else.

As a Aunt Di, Madam Lian had always been someone who qualified. At least, she had never relied on her status to make things difficult for Lin Lian. ”Lian Jieer, don't cry …”

Before she could even finish her words, she was cut off by Lin Shu with a smile on her face, ”This Lian Jieer is seriously, ever since the ancient times, marriage arrangements for children have always been ordered by parents, you have never respected your mother before! Besides, you also know that father and mother have never been on good terms. Father might not necessarily listen to what mother says, so I think it's best for you to go speak to Father about this matter. ”

Since her daughter had already said so, Madam Lian naturally would not refuse her face in front of everyone.

However, Lin Lian still kept on crying. Her small face was covered in tears and she said, ”Fourth Sister, what do you mean by that? I admit that when I was busy taking care of Grandmother before, I did have very little time to pay respects to my mother. My filial piety came first. Mother, I … I am just thinking that Fourth Sister is normally filial in front of you, that the marriage between Second Sister and Third Sister has already been decided, and that there isn't even someone by Grandmother's side who would like to talk with you, that's why you often stay in Green Pine Academy … ”

Lin Shu looked at her indifferently.

Heh, as expected of the Auntie Zhong's daughter, she was indeed carved from the same mold as the Auntie Zhong. When she uses you, she would prop you up to the skies, and when she doesn't need you, she would wish she could stomp you under her feet.

”Then do you think your mother needs you to relieve her boredom?” Lin Shu suddenly said.

These words caused Lin Lian to be slightly stunned. She felt that everyone's contemptuous gaze had landed on her face and she said with a red face, ”I … ”It's one thing if mother needs me by her side, but it's another if I don't stay by her side. My filial piety should always be known by mother …”

Lin Shu did not try to be courteous with her and said loudly: ”Since that's the case, then I will not give you this chance. The others must be saying that I, the young mistress, am too estranged from you.”

She paused for a moment before her gaze landed on Lin Lian, ”Weren't you always sincere towards Buddha? Since that's the case, I might as well copy out two scriptures for Mother and wait for the next time I offer them up to the Dafu Temple so that Buddha can protect Mother's safety.

Lin Lian bit her lips and remained silent.

Lin Shu did not care about her, ”Since you want to copy the scriptures for mother, of course you have to be sincere. Let me see how it goes, in the future, if there are no other important matters, you can just calmly copy the scriptures in the courtyard.” Lin Lian was the one who needed to be attentive to him. Alright, then she'll give Lin Lian a chance to be attentive to him.

”Fourth Sister you …” If not for the fact that there was someone present, Lin Lian really wanted to go up and grab Lin Shu's arrogant little face.

In the beginning, she had no one to rely on. She had planned to use the name of the banquet to walk around, and maybe enter into the eyes of the wife of another family. Lin Shu's words basically meant that she was being grounded, and at that time, wouldn't she only be able to obediently accept the marriage?

Lin Shu smiled and said: ”Fifth Sister, don't look at me like that. I know you're extremely happy, so don't thank me.”

After saying that, she changed the topic of the conversation, ”Men, send Fifth Miss back to the Falling Swallow Garden!”

There was nothing Lin Lian could do now, even if she didn't leave.

A few well-built old madams followed behind him. Along the way, everyone was looking at Lin Lian. Her complexion could be described as extremely unsightly.

Once she had arrived at the Falling Swallow Garden, she ordered Yan Wen to shut the door.

When Lin You Ting saw her, he immediately went over. ”Elder sister, elder sister …”

Lin Lian looked at Lin You Ting, who was drooling from the corner of her mouth. She became even angrier, ”Your wet nurse? Are they all dead? Bring Sixth Young Master down right now! ”

She was annoyed.

The poor wet nurse didn't know what Lin You Ting had done wrong. She hastily pulled Lin You Ting down, but even though Lin You Ting had become foolish, his intelligence was still comparable to a four or five-year-old child. With the wet nurse's advice on the side, she knew that the person in front of her was the closest person to her, ”No, I won't go down, I want my sister, I want my sister …”

Lin Lian didn't even look at her as she walked in.

Once she entered the room, Cui Ping immediately came over, ”Fifth Miss, how is it?”

She was originally someone close to Auntie Zhong. Ever since Auntie Zhong died in the Villa, she was sent back to Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, and now, naturally followed by Lin Lian's side.
