Lin Shu's reputation was not good, and his reputation was also bad.
Coincidentally, if Lin Shu married to him, she would be under her nose the entire time. That way, wouldn't Young Madam Zhang be at ease?
He felt that Young Madam Zhang would definitely agree to this plan. After all, during this period of time, no matter whether it was her grandmother or father, they had all been pressing down on her marriage.
Thinking about it, Lu Jingran only said a few words to Piao Xu.
Immediately, Piao Xu's expression changed greatly, ”Great sir, how can we do this? Why did you marry a girl like that? Forget about whether or not this person is a Fourth Miss of the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, you should not even marry her, you should marry someone even better … ”
She knew what kind of status she had. No matter how bad Lu Jingran's reputation was, she was just a servant, how could she be worthy of the master of the National Duke Ning Palace?
As long as she could look at him like that from a distance.
But even if he were to look from afar, she would not allow Lu Jingran to live a bad life.
Lu Jingran said softly, ”You just need to follow my instructions. For this period of time, start from Nanny Ren, and then, tell him what to say in front of him. It will naturally be settled when the time comes.”
Master's orders were commands!
Piao Xu understood this logic, and left with red eyes.
On the second day, when Nanny Ren scolded Maid with a bitter face, Piao Xu pulled him to the side and the two talked for a long while. In the end, Nanny Ren's expression became clear.
She patted Piao Xu's shoulders and said, ”There really is you. The empress and madam had thought about this matter for quite a few days but didn't have the slightest idea what to do with him, even though you managed to get along with him. We never thought that she would be so close to us … If Madam finds out about this, I will definitely reward you well. ”
With that, she walked into the main house.
She had finished dressing up, and was still planning to make a trip to the palace. Now that the Imperial Consort Li and Seventh Prince seemed to already know something, they had to think of a countermeasure, if they really let the Imperial Consort Li make use of this loophole, that would really be bad …
Just as she was lost in thought, a Maid accidentally tore off two of her hair.
Without even thinking about it, she waved her hand fiercely, knocking Maid's head to the side. He didn't even dare to cry, and his white face immediately swelled up.
The felt unsatisfied and ordered loudly: ”Drag her away and such a person will still be by my side? You guys go to Steward Nanny and inform them that if you send such a tied up person in the future, I will sell her off too! ”
Nanny Ren walked in amidst the panic, but her steps did not stop as she whispered a few words into the ears of National Duke Ning's wife.
Instantly, his face turned from gloomy to clear, and he said in a low voice, ”Aiya, why didn't I think of that? ”No way, I have to go to the palace right away, it's a really good idea!” This was truly one stone and two birds with one bird, solving her desperate situation.
Empress Zhang heard about it, where did he not agree? Since the Eighth Prince was so stubborn, he had seen it for himself, and now there was nothing he could do.
Taking a step back, even if Eighth Prince and Lin Shu's marriage was settled, if Eighth Prince liked Lin Shu, would she be able to tie up his own hands and feet?
Furthermore, Lin Shu had married into the National Duke Ning Palace, with her own sister watching over him, there was nothing to worry about. At that time, if she were to keep an eye on the Eighth Prince, he would have forgotten about everything else.
Empress Zhang did as he was told, immediately heading to the Imperial Study room, if there was food to eat and words of praise, the Emperor had not seen Empress Zhang look so soft in a long time, he immediately forgot about anything after saying a few good words, and only said that he would personally give Lu Jingran and Lin Shu a marriage.
That was settled.
By the time the Imperial Consort Li found out what had happened, she was already half a step too late to the royal study. By then, even her intestines would have turned green, what could she do? Since the Emperor has already promised the Empress Zhang, and the Emperor has not lied, how can the Emperor go back on his words?
This time, it was Empress Zhang who won!
Little did he know that Lu Jingran was the biggest winner after the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole.
The Emperor didn't just bestow the marriage on others just because he was bestowed one. He had to choose a good day, but Lin Shu, who stayed in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, was still anxious and uneasy. There hadn't been a single bit of news from the palace these few days, and there were no movements from the Empress Zhang s as well … [This is abnormal!]
Even if she sent Yun Dou to search around the vicinity of Third Prince's Mansion, there was no news of her at all.
