Lin Lian bit her lower lip, not daring to utter a single word.

Even if Grand Madam doted on her a lot, she knew that doting his was like loving a cat or dog. If he was happy, he would scratch you.

She originally thought that the Mrs. Jiang would like her and even thought that the Mrs. Jiang would give her justice. She never thought that not only was there no one who would help her uphold justice, this matter actually reached the ears of the Grand Madam …

Lin Pei turned to look at his daughter who he was so proud of, "Lian Jieer, what exactly happened here?"

Lin Lian still did not dare to speak.

"Since she doesn't say it, alright, then I, the old granny, will speak for her. She said in front of Mrs. Jiang that all the good things in Madam Lian were given to him, isn't this just a joke? You go back and ask the Auntie Zhong if she doesn't give what she has back to you, then give it back to the others! " When Grand Madam heard all these, she was so angry that her eyes turned black. She thought that Lin Shu would listen to them a little, and the matters of the fifth house would be reduced by more than half, but who knew that Lin Lian had become confused again.

Panting, she continued, "Do you think our family has been too harsh on you? Are you missing your food or your clothes? You know yourself that I will never lack anything that your three sisters have. I will never lack anything that you don't have. I will never lack anything that your three sisters don't have. When I get to Mrs. Jiang in the future, I won't even be able to raise my head! "

Lin Pei looked at Lin Lian in disbelief, "Is that true?"

Lin Lian was so scared that she fell to her knees, tears streaming down her face. "Grandmother, Father, I know my wrongs. I really know my wrongs …"

Lin Pei felt greatly disappointed.

Lin Lian sobbed, "At that time, First Aunt said that if I wanted anything, I could just ask Mother for it. I said that subconsciously, so I didn't think too much about it." It meant that this wasn't a lie.

Grand Madam raised his voice: "Since that's the case, then go back and pack up your things and stay by Madam Lian's side. If you're obedient and cute, Madam Lian will definitely give you something!" Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion's granddaughter was so shallow that she would only cause jokes to appear if word of this spread!

Lin Lian shook her head like a rattle, but she did not dare to say anything.

Lin Shu did not want Lin Lian to stay by his mother's side. With such a person responding, Lin Shu was afraid that his mother would feel uncomfortable, "Grandmother, please don't be angry, I think that Fifth Sister's words were not intentional, and Mrs. Jiang did not take her words to heart. Don't ruin your body because of such a small matter!"

"That's right, Mother. Why would Mrs. Jiang take the words of a little girl to heart? Furthermore, our family's relationship with Jiang Family has always been good. Now that we have Second Sister-in-Law, Mrs. Jiang would not say anything even if it was on your and Second Sister-in-law's account! " Lin Pei was also busy trying to smooth things over.

Grand Madam was still very angry, "No matter if it's Sister Shu or Lian Jieer, they are both good girls, at such a young age, even if they grow crooked, it would be easy for them to get over it. Now that Sister Shu has become more sensible, but Lian Jieer is confused, it's a pity that Madam Lian … Since there are so many things that you can't take care of Lian Jieer, I think it's better to send him to the second room to rest! "

"Mother!" I'm afraid this is not appropriate! " Lin Pei frowned, back then when the Grand Madam said he wanted to raise Lin Shu in the Second Branch, he had opposed them, it was just that at that time, Lin Shu and the Madam Lian were extremely angry with the Grand Madam, he did not want to add fuel to the fire, so he gave up on this matter, "Second sister is very busy everyday, I think we should discuss this further."

Grand Madam slapped the table and raised his voice: "What more do you want to discuss? This matter was set in stone. From ancient times until now, there had never been a reason for a girl to stay by the side of a concubine. If it wasn't because it wasn't inconvenient for Tang Geer to stay with your second wife, I would love to send Tang Geer to the second house and raise him! "

However, since ancient times, there had never been a situation where a parent sent their daughter to her aunt's side to raise her.

Lin Pei wanted to speak, but when he raised his head and looked at the furious Grand Madam, he did not continue speaking even once the words reached his mouth. He knew that it was not easy to be a mother for most of her life, now that he was old, many things can be done as mother wishes!

In this way, this matter could be considered to have been settled.

At first, she kept saying that she wanted to take care of Lin Shu in front of the Grand Madam, but she saw that the young lady in the fifth house had been raised crooked. But now, Lin Shu's crooked seedling seemed to be growing a little, whereas Lin Lian's had grown a little crooked.

When the Grand Madam saw her, he was extremely passionate. He didn't even discuss this with her and this matter could be considered as settled.

When Lin Shu thought about Second Madam's expression, she could even laugh out loud. In the future, Lin Lian would have to stay by Second Madam's side, and Second Madam had always been a smart person. She definitely wouldn't fall for such a small thing, but she would definitely be unhappy about such a small thing.

As for the Auntie Zhong, she was naturally in a hurry to cry too. She only said that her Lian Jieer had been by her side for seven or eight years without leaving her side.

It was a pity Lin Pei said coldly: "Earlier was Tang Geer, and now is the Lian Jieer. Did you think you could raise both children crooked? To be able to raise Lian Jieer under second sister's tutelage, after a few years when her marriage cannot even be considered good, what is there to be dissatisfied about? "

Ever since the matter with Lin You Ting, Lin Pei had not been as gentle towards her as he was before, and she no longer dared to speak any further.

Although her relationship with Lin Shu had been growing farther and farther apart, that did not mean that she wanted to play with a concubine. She did not have the guts to go up to Grand Madam and say no.

That day, when Madam Lian talked back to her in front of everyone, she had been holding back her anger, but Madam Lian's words seemed to have no flaws …

Grand Madam could only use the harvest from the village as an example, saying that last year's harvest was 30% less than the previous year's, and the tenants' commission on the bordering manor had also increased by 10%.

Madam Lian was extremely busy every day.

Lin Shu was very worried, but Madam Lian said it was fine. She remembered that there were not many things in her previous life, was it because she had been reborn that she changed the trajectory of things?

But what she wanted most to change was her mother's death.

Fortunately, Actinin Qin managed to get a clear understanding of the situation in just a few days, "... Back then, the person who went to Lian Family to propose marriage was the old Duke Master, and at that time, his Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion was in turmoil and the emperor had ordered to punish corrupt officials. Not only did she spend all the silver in his Duke Mansion all day and all the time, he had also embezzled two hundred thousand taels of silver from the imperial government, and at that time, the Grand Madam knew that he was extremely angry and borrowed all the silver that he should borrow and even requested to borrow. The people he should have asked for, but he was still short of two hundred thousand taels.

"When the marriage was set, Old Duke Master told Grand Madam and Master about it. He said that Grand Madam passed out from anger and said that he wanted to break the engagement, but the Old Duke Master said that if we did not make the marriage with Lian Family, where would we get the money from? At that time, not to mention the old master, even the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion will suffer, and the old Duke Master will call the old master to the study room. No one knows what the two of them said, but in the end, the old master also agreed to this marriage. "

"A few years after Madam entered, the old Duke Master … Grand Madam and Old Master did not like Madam from the start, but after the old Duke Master died, they became even more unscrupulous. You tell me, this person was too shameless, he used Lian Family's silver to help them get through the crisis, and now Madame is helping them with their family affairs, they … How can they do that to the Lady? "

Lin Shu laughed coldly and said: "What do you think is strange? I feel that it's not strange at all, since every single person in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion has come to eat meat without even spitting out bones. "

Pausing for a moment, she continued, "Alright, I understand. Don't tell anyone else about this."

Actinin Qin nodded: "This servant knows what to do." This matter was caused by her taking advantage of the fact that she had invited Peony to eat together with her and had even drunk a few cups of wine before finally saying anything. Even now, Peony still didn't know what she had said.

But even if Peony was drunk, it was not slanderous at all to scold Lin Pei and Grand Madam, so much that even Actinin Qin felt that Fifth Master was not a man.

He really wanted to encourage her mother to leave with her. Even if they couldn't leave each other, it would be good if Lin Pei could divorce her. Only, her mother would definitely not be willing to part with her.

After thinking over and over again, Lin Shu finally thought of a good idea. She pretended to be sick and the mother and daughter then moved him to the villa.

As for what kind of storm Lin Pei and the Princess Changze would cause in the capital, it had nothing to do with her, as long as she and his mother were alright.

With that thought in mind, she fell into a deep sleep.

When the second day came to Fanghua Garden, Peony told her wife that she still had not woken up yet. The Grand Madam was in a hurry to settle accounts. The Madam had been reading the accounts day and night, and his eyes were about to tear up. The servant advised, but the Madam refused to listen. My lady, I'll listen to you the most. "

Lin Shu nodded her head, the idea in her mind was even more feasible. She waited for the mother and daughter to go to the villa, whoever wanted to control the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion would have nothing to do with them.

Originally, he thought that no matter what, Madam Lian would sleep until noon, but it was already time for him to get up.

Lin Shu sat at the side and watched as Madam Lian casually combed her hair. She was wearing an ordinary dress and was eating porridge, and a ray of sunlight shone through the gaps of the camphor tree onto the white bottle placed on the table, plain and blissful.
