When the Old Ancestor saw Lin Shu's face revealing bits and pieces of a smile, he was relieved. He didn't know what kind of rumors and rumors had spread around the capital, but some people even said that Lin Shu had not only instigated her mother and father to leave him, he had even forged a fake IOU.
Everyone spoke out, just how much of an enmity did Lin Shu have with the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion Grand Madam to even think of such a despicable method …
It had to be known that Lin Shu had a very bad reputation in the capital. Furthermore, the Grand Madam was famous for being kind, and would always treat food and porridge during festivals, so every year, she would donate at least a thousand taels of silver to the good hall. Who wouldn't give a thumbs up when they mentioned the?
Others would believe her words, but as the sworn enemy of the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion Grand Madam, the ancestor would never believe it no matter what. If she was kind, then there would be no villains in this world, ”Don't even think about it, just focus on recuperating, even if the sky is falling down, with a tall person to support her, what are you afraid of? Even if the rumors were to spread like wildfire, it would not even reach the National Duke Ning Palace. In this palace, if anyone dares to say yes or no, you just have to tell me! ”
In truth, she had already sent her Young Madam Zhang down a few days ago. Regardless of whether it was the matter of Lin Pei and Madam Lian leaving or the matter of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion and Grand Madam passing away, they were not allowed to talk about it. If she heard anyone spouting nonsense, she did not have anything to discuss, she could just directly drag them out to sell.
It had to be known that the National Duke Ning Palace was not a small clan like the National Duke Ning Palace. They would beat and punish their servants and wives whenever they wanted, and would not say anything to scare the people below.
Directly dragging it out to sell was the most severe punishment from the National Duke Ning Palace, and it had been many years since the Old Ancestor had said something so serious.
After Lin Shu heard this, she could not help but lower her head. She was afraid that when she looked at the Old Ancestor, her tears would fall.
Lu Jingran said with a stern face: ”Grandmother, I have told you many times, Sister Shu is sick, there is no need for you to come here. Since you are old, it would not be good if you also get the cold! You are not younger than Sister Shu. Sister Shu, your body, which has been raised for ten days to half a month, should be able to recover greatly.
”Look at what you're saying, could it be that Grandmother has become a glass figurine?” Although the Old Ancestor was complaining, his eyes were filled with joy.
Lu Jingran said: It's fine if you are old, but you are not. Last spring, you were infected with the disease, but you have been lying in bed for an entire month without getting out of it. A few days ago, when Doctor Fan came over, he specifically told me not to come over, and that you were weak.
Lin Shu and the Old Ancestor were the two people that were most important to him in this world.
”Got it!” The Old Ancestor waved his hand at him, ”You have a point anyway. I'm just here to take a look at my grandson's wife, and I'm about to leave. You two, husband and wife, close the door and talk!”
Once she said that, Lin Shu couldn't help but burst out laughing, ”Grandmother, you should head back earlier. Once I'm fully recovered, I'll go pay respects to you!”
The Old Ancestor held onto Nanny Bai's hand and walked outside, saying: ”Then this old woman is waiting for you! You have to come earlier! ”
After the Old Ancestor left, Lin Shu only used a little bit of the Clear Congee Cuisine before finding an excuse and saying that she wanted to drink the Silver Ear Soup. She wanted to go to the kitchen to inform the others, and even found a reason to order all the maids in the house off.
Lu Jingran knew that she had something to ask, so he only said a few random words, ”... I looked at the flowers that the Old Ancestor had just sent over and thought that they were pretty good. Why don't I call Yun Dou in to arrange these flowers? The Old Ancestor really loves you. Normally, when I went to the Rongshou Hall to pay respects to her, every time I accidentally stepped on those flowers, he would scold me.
Lin Shu interrupted him with a soft voice, ”What happened in the past few days?”
Although she had been befuddled by sickness for the past few days, she was not befuddled by it. In fact, whether it was her mother or Lin Hui, both of them looked like they wanted to speak but were unable to do so.
Especially Lin Hui, there were a few times where these words had just started out well, but Lu Jingran coughed at the side and Lin Hui remained silent.
Lu Jingran started to laugh at her, ”Didn't you say you want to drink the Silver Ear Soup? Pearl has told the kitchen to do it, I'm afraid it will be served soon! Do you want another two pieces of crab cake? I know your stomach isn't right, so I specifically told Pearl to make the pancakes in the kitchenette a little more soft so that you wouldn't hurt your stomach if you ate them. ”
Lin Shu looked at him with a helpless gaze, ”What happened?”
Lu Jingran sighed, ”Even if you want to know, it won't be too late to wait for you to recover!”
