C232 (2/2)

That year, when Madam Lian just entered, she put out her mother-in-law's name, but she had borrowed 30,000 taels of silver from Madam Lian … At that time, Madam Lian did not even have Lin Shu to offer, and she was strong, so she was not willing to take out the silver. She could not do anything but write a promissory note, and only took out thirty thousand taels of silver to exchange.

Lin Pei frowned: ”What's wrong?”

Grand Madam shook his head and turned to leave. However, when he stepped through the doorstep, he stumbled and if not for Nanny Chen's quick reaction, she would have fallen down again.

When she reached the Green Pine Academy, he said in a low voice: ”Nanny Chen, do you still remember the thirty thousand silver?”

The Nanny Chen nodded.

How could she forget?

These thirty thousand taels of silver were taken out by the Grand Madam to walk the path of the Lord. At that time, they walked on the path of the previous head of the imperial court, Zhang Zhuo, who was the father of Empress Zhang and Empress Zhang's wife, Young Madam Zhang. It was a pity that at that time, when they had just caught a glimpse of the situation, Chief Officer Zhang had already died.

This silver was something shameful to begin with. How could he ask for it back?

Even if she could lick her face to ask for it, who could she get it from?

”Right now, my warehouse only has around ten thousand taels of silver. Even if you put everything together, you still need to pay Madam Lian fifteen thousand taels of silver, do you think the Madam Lian will ask me for this?”

She only wished that Madam Lian would lose that promissory note.

”I can't say for sure …” The Nanny Chen also felt very troubled, now that the Great Master and Second Master did not have much silver, if they really wanted to take out the silver, they could only take it out and go through the accounts or go to Fifth Master, but after Grand Madam became sick, they had released all their power and authority, so if they wanted to take over the accounts, they had to go through First Madam, if there was no reasonable excuse, the First Madam would not be able to take out the silver, if it was possible to borrow some money for a period of time, they had to return it.

As for the Fifth Master, it's even more impossible to see his and the Fifth Master fighting like fire and water, ”According to my understanding of the Fifth Madam, she never put silver in his heart, and these thirty thousand silver taels are not even considered a large sum for Lian Family, but Fourth Aunt … ”It's hard to say.”

He was a man who would never give up.

The two of them never thought that Lin Shu would return to the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion in the evening, and now that the Madam Lian had moved out his Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, they were waiting for the official documents so that she and Lin Pei could be considered to have officially parted company.

When Nanny Chen received the news, she immediately came in to deliver the message. She half closed her eyes and sat on Luo Han's bed as he let the Maid beat his own legs, ”What should come will eventually come. This fourth miss is not as easy to deal with as the Madam Lian …”

Actually, Lin Shu had only received this news this morning. She never thought that the Grand Madam would be able to go this far by thinking about his daughter-in-law's dowry.

Madam Lian only said it was fine, but only took thirty thousand silver as a reassurance. After all, the entire Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion was most likely poisonous to Lin Shu and Lu Jingran, and if Lin Shu were to take the risk and go, it would be no different from a wolf entering the tiger's mouth.

But Lin Shu was not afraid, she smiled and advised her, ”... In the next few days, you can stay in peace with your aunt, and wait for the courtyard in the alley behind National Duke Ning Palace to be repaired, and then you can go live there. In the future, when you miss me, just send someone to pass a message to me, and I can go over to visit either you or you to see me. ”

”As for the thirty thousand taels of silver that you mentioned, it was earned through hard work by Grandfather and Uncle, and it didn't fall from the sky. On what basis do we not need it?” If you are generous and wait for me to return the thirty thousand taels of silver, I will not stop you from giving it to them, whether it is as a porridge stall or as a donation to the good hall. ”They took your silver, and I am afraid they are speaking ill of you behind your back!”

Even the Aunt Lian kept on persuading him.

Originally, she planned to wait for Lin Shu to marry and then return to the Yangzhou, but now that everything had happened, how could she calm her heart and return to the Yangzhou?

When Lin Shu stepped into the inner part of the Green Pine Academy, the only people in the room were Grand Madam and Nanny Chen, so she still did as she was told and called him ”Grandmother”.

Grand Madam did not even raise his eyes as the buddhist beads in his hands slowly rotated, ”Such a rare sight. I never thought that our Fourth Aunt would actually come back. I wonder what kind of wind she was blowing today!”

Lin Shu smiled, ”Grandmother, what are you saying? Even if Father and Mother left each other, I am still a girl from Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, and these Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion are still filled with my relatives. In the future, I will often come back to pay respects to Father. ”
