Lin Shu felt her eyes go sore. When she looked down, she saw several plates of fruits that Furong had brought in, such as a red watermelon, a black purple grape, and even a yellow and orange honey melon.
When the Madam Lian saw this, he hurriedly asked, "Everything is fine, what's going on?"
"It's nothing. I think it's because the sand in my eyes is rubbing my eyes, causing me to feel uncomfortable. Now that the sand is flowing down my tears, it's not a big deal." Lin Shu looked at his mother's somewhat heroic face, and only felt that it was a mess. "I better not take your curtain, wait till next summer, I want my uncle to bring me a Plum Blossom curtain, I like looking at the Plum Blossom curtain."
Madam Lian was naturally smiling as she agreed.
Not allowing Lin Shu to help her own housekeeper, she placed all the burden on Madam Lian. Since Lin Shu could not share her worries, she naturally did not cause trouble for her mother. She left after saying a few words.
However, the moment she stepped out of the door, she met the Auntie Zhong with Lin Lian and Lin You Ting. Although it was already quite late, these girls didn't dare to come down for even a day.
Lin Shu walked past them arrogantly, not even bothering to glance at them once.
Lin You Ting wanted to spit at Lin Shu's back, but Auntie Zhong covered her mouth, "... Is this a place for you to mess around in? Be careful that your father finds out about this, I will punish you again! "
Even though Lin You Ting was young, his personality had long been spoiled beyond recognition by the people around him. Now, he was fuming as he said, "Bad people, they are all bad people!"
Auntie Zhong felt like crying.
He thought that Madam Lian would be humiliated like before, where mother and son were waiting at Falling Swallow Garden to watch a joke. But who knew that Lin Pei would actually return in anger, and even brought his Tang Geer with him to the ancestral hall.
Tang Geer was the flesh that fell from her body, ever since she was young, she had been extremely proud even when she was in front of Grand Madam.
She naturally rushed to stop him, and Lin Pei even pointed at her nose and said that his concubine had raised Tang Geer crooked, and lost all face. If not for Lian Jieer holding onto Lin Pei's leg to stop her, Lin Pei would probably have kicked her, "... Has father been instigated by others? You've seen how Aunt has treated me and my brother all these years, and you've seen for yourself how she's always taken care of me and my family, afraid that brother and I would be wronged. You've already told me this earlier, even though Aunt was born with a slight chill, she knew better than ever and didn't dare to do anything disorderly every day! "
"Yes, it's true that an aunt's background is bad, but that's not something an aunt can choose. If it's possible to choose, who wouldn't want to be born into a famous clan like the Great First Aunt and Second Aunt? Now that people have instigated them, at least they can defend themselves!" If you really think that your aunt isn't good at lecturing me and my brother and wants to hit your aunt, then hit me first, it's all my fault! It's because I didn't teach my brother well! "
Lin Pei looked at his daughter, who was crying so hard that it rained down on her.
But now, even though it was almost half a month old, Lin Pei still hadn't taken a single step into the Falling Swallow Garden, and the maids and wives within the Falling Swallow Garden were all newly bought over. It was one thing for each of them to not understand the rules and act craftily, but to think that they didn't place any importance on her as an aunt at all …
Thinking about it, Auntie Zhong felt a pain in her heart, worse than someone kicking him ten times. "Let's go in and pay respects to Madam.
Although the Madam Lian did not put them in her eyes, they could not hold on for much longer as there were still peonies and other Grand maidservants in the room.
As expected, when they were about to go in, Madam Lian was reading the account book, and the peonies had left them hanging for less than an hour before passing on the message. Only Madam Lian said that she had a lot of things to do today, and wanted Auntie Zhong and the others to come again in the evening to pay her respects.
The poor Auntie Zhong didn't even have time to drink a mouthful of water on such a hot day and was about to go back home.
After exiting the Fanghua Garden gate, Lin Lian's eyes reddened, and she said in a low voice: "There will be a day when I will make those people who look down on us aware of our power!"
Tang Geer shouted as she wanted to drink water. Auntie Zhong ordered the new maid to fill up an umbrella before she carried Tang Geer back.
The mother and daughter pair followed the shadows of the forest as they slowly paced back and forth. Upon learning this, they cried out one after another, causing Lin Lian to feel extremely irritated.
But Auntie Zhong said, "... It's only been a few days and you already lost your patience? Madam Lian has not fought with me for more than 10 years, and now just because Lin Shu suddenly became smart, she can fight with me? This time, I was careless and underestimated the mother and daughter pair. In the future, we will be more careful, and this kind of thing will definitely not happen again. "
"But auntie …" Don't you think that Lin Shu has become very strange recently? "In the past, she was always stupid, but now that I've provoked her, she's acting like an enraged kitten, raising her claws and scratching at anyone she sees. Even Grandmother and Father aren't afraid, but now, no matter how much I've angered her, I've said one sentence and she's got ten lines waiting for me!"
"That's right! Furthermore, last time at Green Pine Academy's Little Buddhist Hall, she said that she wanted to ruin my face, and the hatred in her eyes didn't seem like she was pretending at all. The more Lin Lian thought about it, the more she felt terrified. It was not like she could complain to the Grand Madam about this kind of thing.
However, Auntie Zhong sneered, "This person, he's always getting smarter and smarter. Maybe Lin Shu got sick and got enlightened, so she doesn't need to worry! Now that the Grand Madam is old, and at most ten years, and waiting for the Grand Madam to die, we will be able to split the families, and at that time, Lin Shu will also marry, and the only thing the Madam Lian is good at is earning silver as a butler. At that time, the population will be simple, so what can we do about it? "I would really like to see her butler get more silver for your little brother!"
"You better not learn from those ignorant women. They will be so angry that they won't be able to sleep after suffering a little grievance. The only one who can laugh till the end is the winner!"
Lin Lian only nodded.
It was Auntie Zhong who looked at her and said softly, "I heard from Yan Wen who was beside you that a few days ago, you secretly followed Duke Chengan Palace's County Prince s and even talked to them for a long time when you went to Duke Chengan Palace."
"It's not a long time, just a quarter of an hour!" Yan Wen was a servant that Auntie Zhong had chosen for her. She was sincere to her, and naturally, to Auntie Zhong as well.
Auntie Zhong frowned: "Do you know what you're doing? Then are Duke Chengan s of the Duke Chengan Palace something that you can think about as well? Although the Duke Chengan Palace does not compare the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, that person is the successor of the Emperor's decree, and with Lin Shu's identity, even the Duke Chengan Palace would look down on him … " After all, Lin Shu had such an outer sect.
Lin Lian didn't like hearing these words and bit her lips. "It's fine if someone else says these words, but even auntie wants to say these words to me?" You think I can't compare up to Lin Shu? Even Lin Shu doesn't like the Duke Chengan Palace, so they definitely don't like me? I don't believe that if we don't fight over some things, how would we know if we can obtain them?! "Even if we really lose, we'll end up in the same situation as before. What's there to be afraid of …"
"What a fool! Don't think that the Grand Madam loves you right now, but if the Grand Madam finds out about this, she would be the first one to ask for you to be sent to the Manor. When you get married, he would find a distant marriage and kick you out. Auntie Zhong felt that her daughter was smart, but he was a little too angry. "You came out from my stomach, I feel that you're qualified to be the empress, how can you feel that you're not as good as others …"
Lin Lian still bit her lower lip, not saying a word.
Auntie Zhong also sighed. Her daughter had been like this since she was young, and whatever she said, she would never say anything back.
But what could she do?"
Every day, they would go to the Green Pine Academy to pay respects, then go to the Fanghua Garden to accompany their mother for lunch and chat with their mother. In the afternoon, they would embroider and write to help with the flowers and plants, and for a moment, everyone in the He’s Mansion knew that the Fourth Miss had become sensible.
When Lin Shu heard this, she could only smile.
Although she was looking forward to it, she did not miss a single movement in the Falling Swallow Garden. Auntie Zhong pretending to be sick, coughing blood, Lin Shu going to find Lin Pei, all of them did not escape her eyes.
It was just that she was not anxious at all. If Auntie Zhong really admitted defeat so simply, then she would not be Auntie Zhong at all.
However, Actinin Qin was extremely anxious, "... Miss, the old master was just like before, resting at the Falling Swallow Garden for a few days in a row. Fifth Miss was so happy that he took advantage of Auntie Zhong's illness to not greet the old lady for a few days, and told me, if the old master was really sick, how could I serve the old master? "
However, Lin Shu was not the least bit angry, and even said while beaming: "The day after tomorrow is the birthday of Second Aunt's embroidery.
"Of course I'm ready!" Actinin Qin nodded and said, "Miss, why are you not anxious at all! This servant has also heard that doctors frequently come and go in the Auntie Zhong. I'm afraid they aren't Aunt Zhong's doctor, but rather the doctor who recuperates the Auntie Zhong. "
Back then, when the Auntie Zhong was still in a forest, it was difficult to give birth. The doctors said that one could not get pregnant within five years, or else they would be in danger.
Last month, Lin You Ting had just turned five.
Thinking about the fact that until Lin Shu's death in her previous life, when Auntie Zhong was no longer pregnant, what was the point of being anxious, "What's the use of being anxious? Could it be that I can still interfere in the matters of Falling Swallow Garden? If they are willing to go through with it, let them go through with it! "
After saying that, she paused for a while, and said: "A few days ago, I instructed Nanny Zhu to purchase some flowers and go into the Linglong Pavilion, has she finished preparing all of them?"
