Betrothal?

Lin Shu naturally did not think that the emperor would grant her marriage with the Eighth Prince. Since this news came from the palace, then this matter must be related to the Empress Zhang.

To be honest, if the Emperor really betrothed her to the Eighth Prince, she wouldn't want to have such an old granny to live in such a scheming place. She probably wouldn't be able to live a peaceful life for the rest of her life.

On the other hand, the expression on the Madam Lian's face changed unpredictably. ”Why would a perfectly fine emperor grant our Sister Shu a marriage?”

The Emperor bestowing marriage was not because he knew Lin Shu, but because he was giving face to his Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion. Even if it was true that marriage was bestowed, he should give either Lin Jia or Lin Hui a marriage, so why would it land on Lin Shu? This is too incredible...

Hibiscus was so anxious that her eyes turned red. ”Your servant …” This servant also doesn't know, First Madam said that they are already in the main hall, and wanted you to hurry over. ”

Today, they were giving Lin Shu a marriage, so they would definitely need him there.

The Madam Lian and Lin Shu hurriedly went to the front hall. The Internal Service sent by the Emperor had been waiting for a long time with an impatient expression on his face.

When he saw that everyone had already arrived, he waved his whisk and said in a high-pitched voice: ”Under the blessing of the heavens, on the day of the Emperor, Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion and, Zhong Lingxiu, virtuous and virtuous, I am glad to hear that today, the eldest son of the National Duke Ning Palace has passed the marriage ceremony. When he has chosen a girl and a girl worthy of Lin Shu, he will be able to have her and the eldest son of the National Duke Ning Palace as his wife.

First Madam had already secretly stuffed some silver just now, and asked around for some information. It wasn't surprising at all when she heard this.

On the other hand, Madam Lian's eyes blacked out, if Lin Shu had not acted quickly to support her, she would have fainted.

On the other hand, Madam Lian didn't say a single word for a long time. She mumbled to herself for a long time, but she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

The First Madam had never encountered such a thing before, so in the end, it was Lin Shu who still went forward and said, ”Thank you for the emperor's good intentions. Please return, eunuch.

Not to mention the emperor giving her to Lu Jingran, even if he gave her to a cat or dog, she could only say thank you. If this matter spread to the emperor's ears, the emperor would even become dissatisfied with the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion.

The Internal Service looked at Lin Shu pitifully and thought in her heart, Sigh … [How could such a pitiful girl be given to such a popinjay?]

”Because Lin Shu knows how to conduct herself, Internal Service's expression became slightly better,” Fourth Miss should take a good rest.

Lin Shu flattered the eunuch with a smile, and not only did she call for a capable manager to send Internal Service out, he even personally sent the Internal Service to the drooping flower gate.

When she turned around and returned, Madam Lian was already crying like a man.

First Madam continued to advise on the side, ”Sigh, don't cry. My heart is in chaos from crying too … If tears are of any use, I will cry with you. ”

She was also the mother, and even if she didn't really like Lin Shu and her daughter back then, but now that she thought about it, Lin Shu and her daughter could be considered to have quite the human nature in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, let alone Lin Hui and Lin Shu who were usually as nice as well …

Madam Lian cried until she was out of breath, wishing that she could not even catch her breath, ”Sister-in-law? How can I not be sad? I had always wished for Sister Shu to be able to marry Rao Geer, but Sister Shu didn't want me to. I thought that marriage was something that would last a lifetime, and it's fine if she doesn't want it, but after this marriage was slowly being chosen, there's always a good choice. And even set a Master Ningguogongfuda? Do you think someone is doing something to the bear in the middle of it? ”

Although the First Madam was born into a famous family, she had always been working hard for the Grand Madam. She was the one in charge of all the major matters in the palace, and now, even if she had to make a decision, it was impossible to say for sure.

After thinking about it, she said, ”I also think that this matter is a bit unusual. It's just fine, how did the emperor know about the Sister Shu? Furthermore, the Master Ningguogongfuda is the empress's nephew, so it's possible for the emperor to grant them a marriage. However, the emperor and empress really value the Master Ningguogongfuda, so if they hadn't bestowed the marriage earlier, how could they have waited until now? ”

The more the two people spoke, the more baffled they felt, but when they saw Lin Shu, they both simultaneously shut their mouths.

Especially Madam Lian, whose tears fell down again. She felt that her daughter was the most pitiful person in the world.

Lin Shu's face did not have much expression, ”Mother, don't be like this, the matter has already become like this, even if you want to cry it is useless, since the marriage has already been decided, let's not talk about it anymore, if you say too much, no one will listen to it.”

Actually, she didn't know what she was feeling. It was as if she was happy, but she didn't have any. She was sad, and it didn't seem like she had any feelings for him.
