It was also because Lin Shu was able to be calm like water now, otherwise, she would not dare to think about what had happened in her previous life.
That day, she made some soup and wanted to send it to the study to help nourish Shao Shengping's body, but Shao Shengping was not in the study at all. Usually, there would be someone specifically to clean Shao Shengping's study, and when she saw that the desk was a little messy, she wanted to help him clean it up.
However, she never expected that there was a thick stack of portraits of the Chen Family's Third Miss on Shao Shengping's desk, with Chen Yao's name written on it and a letter that Shao Shengping wrote to Chen Yao. In the letter, Shao Shengping had called Chen Yao ”Yao Yao”, and it was all talk about trivial matters, he guessed that the two of them must have been colluding for a long time. At that time, when she saw all this dirty stuff, she only felt his eyes go blurry.
Ever since she and Shao Shengping got married, Shao Shengping had always been good to her, and in the eyes of outsiders, he had even treated her with kindness. Back then, he felt great pain just by knowing how sweet it was, or else he would have never recklessly brought Actinin Qin to the Yangzhou.
Up till now, Lin Shu still could not figure out how Shao Shengping had hooked up with Chen Yao. If she remembered correctly, no matter if it was his previous life or this life, until this point in time, the Chen family's Third Miss, Chen Yao, had never appeared in front of anyone.
In that case, Shao Shengping fell in love with Chen Yao at first sight.
The Chen family's Second Miss had already married into the Duke Chengan Palace, so as her sister, Chen Yao naturally went to the Duke Chengan Palace to visit her sister.
This was going to be a good show.
Unexpectedly, the Old Ancestor also shook his head and said, ”... I heard that the young ladies of the Chen family know their lesson, and are all gentle and virtuous, but these words were just for the ears of the bystanders, I heard that the young ladies of the Chen family are all extremely powerful, and not to mention the others, let's talk about the Fifth Prince’s Concort. Not long after he was married to the Fifth Prince, she managed the entire Fifth Prince tightly! ”
Back then, it was also the birthday of Lady Chen. I had seen the Chen Family's Third Miss once, and at that time, she was only eleven or twelve years old, she was actually quite pretty, and I'm afraid she is even more outstanding now … I wonder which family's young master he will grant this permission to! ”
Lin Shu chuckled, she was afraid that the Old Ancestor would never have imagined that Chen Yao would marry Lu Jingran in his previous life.
Suddenly, a bold idea emerged in her mind. Since Chen Yao was not a good person, then wouldn't Lu Jingran murdering his mother and brother in her previous life also have something to do with Chen Yao?
But after thinking about it, she felt that something was amiss, Lu Jingran was not someone who was easily provoked, furthermore, if Chen Yao wanted to instigate them, why did he want to encourage Lu Jingran to kill Young Madam Zhang and Lu Ming? If that was the case, wouldn't that also affect Chen Yao's reputation? If she was not mistaken, because of Lu Jingran's brutality in his previous life, Chen Yao's reputation was not very good either. Even if the others did not dare discuss this matter in front of Chen Yao, the words that they spoke behind his back were extremely unpleasant to listen to.
Lin Shu acted as if she did not know anything, ”Grandmother, is the Chen family's Third Miss really that good-looking?”
The Old Ancestor nodded his head and smiled: ”One day, when you meet the Chen Family's Third Miss, you will know how beautiful she is. Her beauty is not in her appearance, but in her bones.
Thinking about it, when the Old Ancestor saw Chen Yao, Chen Yao was only eleven or twelve years old.
Lin Shu thoughtfully nodded her head, ”I wonder when I'll be able to meet the Chen family's Third Miss.”
The Old Ancestor laughed, ”We will see him sooner or later …” Isn't your fifth sister going to be carried to the Duke Chengan Palace soon? Although she is a concubine, she is not an ordinary family's young lady. Even if the Duke Chengan Palace does not hold a large feast, at least they will have to invite a few guests.
Lin Shu stared blankly for a moment, then patted her forehead: ”If you didn't say it, I really would have forgotten, back then when my fifth sister and Duke Chengan s from Duke Chengan were making a ruckus, father specially made a trip to Duke Chengan s palace. At that time, Duke Chengan had made it clear, he would definitely call my fifth sister in.
Even if she could not be his official wife, she would still have to take out the attitude of the Duke Chengan Palace.
Furthermore, if Lin Lian was like an ordinary concubine and quietly carried in from the side door, forget about Lin Lian and Lin Pei, would they agree to it, or would Lin Lian's dowry also be brought in from the side door?
After all, right before the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion Grand Madam died, he prepared a dowry for Lin Lian. After all, he had thought that Lin Lian had served in front of her for many years, so how could she not give Lin Lian anything? However, the dowry wasn't too much, it was three thousand silvers that every girl in Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion had when they were married.
Although it wasn't much, it wasn't little either.
If she was Lin Lian, she wouldn't have agreed either. Even if she couldn't be the official wife, she would have to manage things well. Otherwise, it would be a bit too embarrassing losing before she even entered the door …
This was the first time Lin Shu had held back in front of Lin Lian. After she returned to the Banyan Garden, she asked Yun Dou to pay a visit to Lin Pei's new house, saying that on the day that Lin Lian left the pavilion, she also wanted to go visit the Duke Chengan Palace as a guest. No matter what, Lin Lian was still considered her little sister.
If it was her or Lin Hui, she would have rejected him without hesitation.
When she thought about how Lin Shu was currently a Eldest Wife of the National Duke Ning Palace and was going to take up her position in the Jin Wu Wei at the beginning of next month, even if she hated Lin Shu to the bone, she only needed Yun Dou's word to say that she had been waiting for Lin Shu that day.
