If one were to say that Lin Pei was good at scheming, then he was not bad either. He knew what Lin Pei valued the most, and he also knew what he valued the most.
Even if the Empress Zhang scolded Chen Yu in front of everyone, Chen Yu's status would not change. If he was engaged to Chen Yu, then not to mention that his career in the future would be smoother, even Lin Pei did not dare say anything.
Right now, Lin Pei even dreamed of entering the pavilion, so how could he dare to offend the Grand Secretary Chen?
This person's heart was truly the most vicious thing in the world!
Every day, there was a commotion as if she wanted to go find Lin Pei. But even if Lin Pei had returned to the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, he had never gone to look for Lin Lian. He only sent a message to Madam Lian, telling him to prepare a good dowry for Lin Lian.
When Madam Lian and Lin Shu talked about this, they all had a bit of regret on their faces, ”... I wonder what Auntie Zhong would think when she sees her own daughter in such a state. She has been concubine to your father for her entire life, and even though she was valued highly by your grandmother, she couldn't even raise her head. She only hoped that her daughter could get married well.
”What are you doing?” ”Back then, she wasn't willing to marry into a Humble Class household, so she could only marry into the Duke Chengan Palace as a concubine. Although the few granddaughters of the Grand Secretary Chen family rarely showed their faces, I heard that they were all powerful people, not only did they have pretty faces and outstanding morals. I heard that from the very beginning that there was an old mama of the palace who had taught them about etiquette and rules.
Although the young lady of the Chen family had married a crippled Fifth Prince, the Fifth Prince had always been raised under the name of the Empress Zhang. Although the Empress Zhang was afraid of the princes beside them fighting for the throne with their own sons, he had never placed the Fifth Prince in his eyes.
In his last life, the young miss of the Chen family became the Fifth Prince’s Concort, the Chen family's Second Miss became the Eighth Prince's Consort, and the Chen family's Third Miss became the wife of the National Duke Ning — the wife of Lu Jingran in his previous life, the person Shao Shengping missed the most.
When she thought of Lu Jingran once again, Lin Shu couldn't help but think of the letter that she would reply to for a long time … What did he do?
The Madam Lian only patted her hand, ”According to what you have said, the Chen family's Second Miss is also powerful. If they knew about the matter between the Lian Jieer and Duke Chengan Palace's County Prince, how could they tolerate the Lian Jieer? ”Sigh, she's also living a bitter life …” She only felt that the Auntie Zhong had skewered Lin Lian.
Lin Shu laughed, ”Then you should at least give Lin Lian 2000 taels of silver.” Just treat it as taking pity on her.
When she passed away in her previous life, Eighth Prince and Eighth Prince's Consort were in harmony, even the Chen family's Second Miss was very popular, how did this life change?
However, just based on this ability, it was clear that the Chen Family's Second Miss was not simple.
The two of them were talking when they saw Xiangtong poking her head out from outside.
Madam Lian looked and laughed: ”I won't be keeping you, I'm afraid Sis Hui'er is looking for you again.”
Then, Lin Shu followed Xiangtong to Lin Hui's courtyard. It had been a month since then, and the wedding dress in Lin Hui's hand had only been embroidered a single sleeve. And this sleeve was actually embroidered only because First Madam had followed behind her all day long, urging her to sew it up.
When Lin Hui saw Lin Shu, she laughed and said: ”Sister Shu, big sister Qing Qing has sent me a message again. Did you receive the message?”
She would even dream of going out for a walk.
Lin Shu nodded her head, ”I did receive the invitation from the Lateral Consort Zhang, but I do not plan to go.” In a dragon's lagoon like Third Prince's Mansion, one could leave as far as possible.
”Why not? Don't you feel bored while you're stuck in Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion all day? ” Lin Hui was really simple, at her age, she still thought that the person who was smiling at her was a good person, ”Do you not like the idea of clearing up your sister? Last time, she told me that she did not write to you after you followed Fifth Aunt to the Manor, and I'm afraid that she started to blame her. She said that she had her own difficulties too, that Zhang Family cannot compare to Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, and cannot compare to Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, which has its own background. ”Originally, she had planned to talk about this matter with Grandma Zhangda, but seeing that Grandma Zhangda is troubled over trivial matters at home, she found it hard to speak about it …”
”Sigh, she even said that you've always been thinking too much. I'm afraid you wouldn't believe her even if she said that, so we just stopped talking. But, the three of us were still good kids, how did we end up like this?”
She had a pure heart and Lin Shu was not willing to let her see how dark the world was. She only laughed: ”It's not that I don't believe you, but it's just that the third big sister's heart must be on guard. Do you think that she will be on the same side as us? From a young age, our living environment is simple. Forget about how she was before, I'm afraid that her thoughts will never be the same as before. ”
Third sister, listen to what I have to say. If you are willing to befriend her, I won't stop you, but you have to be more careful in everything. You can't win against her.
There were some things that she couldn't say too bluntly. After all, choosing to befriend someone was Lin Hui's choice, the only thing she could do was to give a few points, something that she couldn't force herself.
