Lin Shu felt that something was amiss, she pulled Lin Hui's hand and walked a few steps forward, "Let's go over and see what's going on."
Although Lin Hui was half a beat slower, she noticed that something was amiss and said: "Why don't we not go? "If something really has to do with us, Grandmother will never forgive us …"
Although Grand Madam was normally easy to talk about, if he got angry, no one could stop him, and Grand Madam viewed Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion's reputation as extremely important.
Lin Shu released her hand, and said softly: "Then stand here and wait for me, I'll be right back."
But before she could completely let go of his hand, Lin Hui once again grabbed her hand, "I'll go with you. You only have Actinin Qin with you, I'll go with you.
Lin Shu's heart felt soft. Although this third sister of her looked unreliable, her heart was extremely kind.
The two of them walked along the lake and after a few steps, they saw a person flopping in the water.
Even though he couldn't see the man's face clearly, he was wearing indigo brocades.
Cloud brocade, one is priced in gold.
Not even every master in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion could afford to wear these, let alone the Duke Chengan Palace.
Although they were all at the Duke Mansion, the people at the Duke Chengan were all lacking. Other than one Duke Chengan that was highly regarded by the Emperor, the rest of the people were all gone, not even a single person in the imperial court had a chance to speak.
Lin Shu immediately ordered the two servants that were accompanying him: "Quickly go and find someone, tell them someone fell into the water."
Lin Hui was extremely frightened, there were not many people in Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, but it could be considered simple. With such a large matter, only sisters would be able to exchange a few words, this was the first time she had witnessed such a thing, "If, if he dies, what do we do?"
Even though we have already ordered for no guests to come to the lakeside, we are not afraid of ten thousand. If something were to really happen to the Duke Chengan Palace, how are we going to escape? "There must be a woman who knows water from the owl nearby!" Lin Shu saw that Actinin Qin and the rest were already far away, and had pulled Lin Hui far away too, "Let's go quickly, if we wait for people to come, then we will be in trouble."
She had already done what she needed to do and what she could do.
When the two of them went to First Madam's side, First Madam had already been looking for Lin Hui for a while. When she saw her daughter, she immediately lowered her voice and said, "Where did the two of you go? "What kind of place is this, for you to be able to run around like this?"
Lin Hui felt that she was too scared to say anything.
Even Lin Shu's heart was thumping. "I'm accompanying Third Sister to the toilet."
First Madam gave her a deep glance. There was displeasure in her eyes, but she did not speak further.
Not long after, the new Duke Chengan entered the door. If it was before, these two would have gone to join in the commotion, but after what happened just now, the two of them were no longer interested in it.
Lin Hui took advantage of the moment when the Duke Chengan and the new Duke Chengan's wife were paying their respects to the hall to say in secret, "... Do you think that person is dead? "
Actinin Qin and the servant by her side quickly found a wife, but they did not know whether that person was alive or dead.
Lin Shu squeezed her hand, and said in a low voice: "Wait and see." Such a big thing had happened in the Duke Chengan Palace, even if she wanted to hide it, she couldn't.
As expected, after Duke Chengan and the new Duke Chengan's wife finished bowing, a woman rushed in, "Not good, not good, someone fell into the water."
This was the disadvantage of not having a female patriarch, what did a woman like Xiao Shui know? Wasn't it because they were looking for an urgent matter and seeing which family's master it was, so that everyone present could recognize him?
All of a sudden, the wives started panicking and sent people to look for their sons.
Even the First Madam sent people to take a look.
Lin Shu and the other girls were placed in the parlour, and all of them started talking at once, "… It should be the old man from National Duke Ning Palace. I just saw the old man from National Duke Ning Palace walking towards the lakeside. "
"Is that so? When the old man of the National Duke Ning Palace heard that he was born of a concubine, the National Duke Ning's mistress never liked him.
Everyone started talking at once. There were several times when Lin Hui wanted to interrupt them, but she was stopped by Lin Shu.
What kind of sect was the National Duke Ning Palace? If one said that the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion was a first class Honorable House, then the National Duke Ning Palace was a first class Honorable House, and the Duke Chengan Palace was willing to send someone, it was because the old Duke Chengan was once a subordinate of the old National Duke Ning, so why else would the National Duke Ning Palace come?
Because of this, all the previous generations of Monarchs viewed the National Duke Ning Palace with the utmost importance. It could even be said that the National Duke Ning was the capital of a martial general, and with just Duke Mansion, how could they contend against it?
Until Lin Shu and the others got on the carriage, she did not know what was going on.
When they returned, they would have to pay respects to Grand Madam. Grand Madam thought about the situation in the Duke Chengan Palace, and was afraid that they were not far from it. After giving them a few casual words, he requested for them to return.
On the second day, Lin Hui took advantage of the fact that she had only sent the root of the osmanthus glutinous rice and imparted it with her Linglong Pavilion. My grandfather sent a chef from Jinling, and the osmanthus and glutinous rice roots are delicious. I brought some for you to try. "
Lin Shu had never liked eating sweet things, so after symbolic eating of the two chopsticks, she ordered the maidservants to bring the food down, and then used this reason to disperse the maidservants in the house, "Speak, have you heard something?"
In her previous life, she treated Lin Hui as her enemy, so she naturally knew her third elder sister's personality very well.
Surprise flashed across Lin Hui's face, but in the next moment, she said: "You are truly a god! When I was taking an afternoon nap in my mother's room, I heard my mother mention this matter. The person who had fallen into the water that day was indeed the great master of the National Duke Ning Palace, and both the Duke Chengan Palace and the National Duke Ning Palace said that he had accidentally fell into the water because he was a playboy. However, my mother said that this matter was not that simple. "
"My mother said that this Madam National Duke Ning came from a distinguished family. Although he was not from the Honorable House, his grandfather was an Elder in the Imperial Court first, and his brother was a second-grade Minister in the Department of Revenue and his elder sister was the Empress. Would it be difficult for his to kill his eldest son? Even if we do not succeed this time, I'm afraid this Master Ningguogongfuda will not live long! "
"Speaking of which, this Master Ningguogongfuda is also very pitiful. He's only eleven years old, we can save him once, but I'm afraid we won't be able to save him twice. I don't know how long he'll live …"
Master Ningguogongfuda?
Lin Shu did not even manage to take in a single word of what Lin Hui had said. These words echoed in her mind, the person she loved in her previous life was Madam National Duke Ning, the wife of the person she had saved that day?
When she thought about how she knew all about the National Duke Ning's wife in her previous life, Lin Shu couldn't help but feel a little confused now that she thought about it. Since the Master Ningguogongfuda was born as a concubine, how did he manage to get the position of National Duke Ning?
That day, when she saw that there was a little child of about a few years old following beside National Duke Ning's wife, looking strong and strong, she was extremely adorable. National Duke Ning's wife looked at that little child with a doting gaze, so she must be her biological son …
Thinking about it, she could not help but ask, "Has the son of the National Duke Ning established himself yet?"
Lin Hui, who was in the middle of speaking excitedly, thought for a moment, then nodded her head: "I seem to have heard what my mother said about the National Duke Ning, so I believe that the prince has already decided … "Well, why do you ask?"
"It's nothing. I was just casually asking!" Lin Shu laughed and said: "Also, there's the matter between Lin Lian and the son of the Duke Chengan that happened that day, you better not speak carelessly.
Lin Hui felt that someone had seen through her, and there were a few times when she was prepared to speak to First Madam about this, "I thought that you were hoping that this matter would spread like wildfire, and Lian Jieer would not have any good fruits to eat, whether it's you or Fifth Aunt, both of them will be relieved of their anger …"
Lin Shu's lips curled into a smile, she felt that the relationship between Lin Lian and Shao Shengping was not over, "No wonder First Aunt always says that you haven't grown up, who is Lian Jieer? It's my sister, and she has a bad reputation. "Not to mention me, I'm afraid your face won't light up, not to mention when Grandmother blames me, who in the fifth house would be able to escape?"
Saying that, she paused for a moment before continuing, "If this matter were to be spread out from you and me, when the time comes, only she in Lian Jieer will do it, wouldn't you and I be the ones making trouble? Third sister, when will you grow up? "
"I …" Lin Hui was strong, how could she be willing to be outclassed by her own sister? "I, why haven't I grown up? I am half a year older than you! "
Lin Shu smiled and did not speak.
Lin Hui said unhappily: "Alright, I'll tell you the truth, if you don't tell me this today, I'm afraid within three days I will have already told Mother about this. Mother's words were not wrong, saying that you were sick, and seemed to have become more sensible, and wanted me to learn from you. Sister Shu, tell me, how can I become more calm? "
Originally, there was a Sister Shu who was as notorious as she was, and even worse than her own reputation. But now that the Sister Shu had become so smart, it really felt bad leaving her by herself.
But no matter what, she couldn't deny that the current Sister Shu was much more pleasing to the eye.
Lin Shu thought for a moment, "I don't know if I should say these words, but don't say it. If you think too much, if you run into someone who isn't sure about their idea, go and ask First Aunt. But I think it's good for you to be so carefree. "
In her previous life, Lin Hui had married a son from the Huai Yang Estate, so this person could not be considered a good match, but Lin Hui had always been generous, and relied on her Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion to support him, from the start, she had never put her husband and grandma in her eyes.
