Nanny Chen had followed the Grand Madam for dozens of years, so she was well aware of what the Grand Madam was thinking. Now, she could only sigh and say: "Since it's like this, what are you trying to do? Fifth Master is an understanding person, he would definitely not blame you … Furthermore, you are not only Fifth Master's mother, what you have done is reasonable. "
The Grand Madam sighed, and did not speak for a long time. "But now that the Fifth Master and I are separated, that is an indisputable fact. If it was my second brother who was involved in such an incident, I'm afraid he would have quickly sent someone to tell me, is the Fifth Master involved? "I will wait for everything to be investigated, and then when I have made my decision, I will come and inform me."
"Actually, I noticed that something was wrong yesterday. No one in the fifth room believes in Buddha other than the Lian Jieer, but yesterday the servant next to the Fifth Master said that he wanted me to send a message to invite Master Dao Cheng over. Do you remember when he asked Master Dao Cheng what he wanted to do? They only said that Sixth Young Master had been sick for a few days now, so they wanted to invite the Great Master to come and take a look. If it wasn't for Fifth Master, how would the little servant dare to deceive you? "
Even if she wanted to get close to her youngest son, finding out that her son had grown up wasn't something that she could get close to just by saying she was close to him.
"You must be thinking too much. Fifth Master being able to sit in the left Assistant Minister of the Third Rank at such a young age is inseparable from his meticulous thoughts. Think about it, if you were to spread this matter around without finding out, regardless of whether it was done by Fifth Madam or not, once it spreads out, wouldn't it be terrible to listen in. Once this matter is investigated, won't Fifth Master send someone to inform you?"
"That's true. Even Elder Jiangge praised him for his calm personality and meticulous thoughts. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become a part of the Third Rank at such a young age …"
Although she regretted that she would become silly in the future, she still had a few grandchildren in the main house and the second house. She also regretted that Lin You Ting was not directly born into the family.
However, Lin Lian did not know anything beforehand, but when the news came, she was stunned. She sent someone out to investigate, only then did she know that the Auntie Zhong had caused Tang Geer to become silly, for a moment, she was so scared that she forgot her tears.
After recovering from her shock, she wanted to send a servant girl to the Falling Swallow Garden to ask Auntie Zhong what was going on, but her Falling Swallow Garden was guarded by a servant girl, so no one could enter.
She had no choice but to plead with Lin Pei, but because Lin Pei hadn't been back for a few days, after weighing the pros and cons, she had no choice but to beg Grand Madam. However, before she could even step into the Green Pine Academy, she was stopped by someone, and the servant girl only said that Grand Madam's body wasn't feeling well right now, so she asked her to come back another day.
Although Lin Lian was born from a concubine, to be honest, she had gained a lot more face than Lin Shu, the direct descendant of the family. She wanted to pay respects to this morning, but when she came to her own place, the Grand Madam became so unwell?
Although she wanted to, but right now, Lin Lian could not even afford to offend the servant girls with the lowest level of Green Pine Academy. She could only smile and say that she would be back when she had time.
She was so anxious that she didn't even notice Lin Shu was not far away. To be honest, this was the first time she had seen such a destitute Lin Lian.
On the other hand, Actinin Qin could not help but say: "Auntie Zhong has miserably injured Fifth Miss this time, so this servant has heard that the entire Second House is treating Fifth Miss with slight respect. Originally, Second Madam was able to treat both Second Miss and Fifth Miss fairly, but now, I have to take advantage of the fact that Mrs. Jiang's health is not very good, so I often go to the's side.
In the end, she was still only fourteen or fifteen years old and had a kind heart. Even though she knew that Lin Lian was originally too excessive, she now felt pity for her.
Lin Shu suddenly thought of Lin Lian's crazy look in his past life and coldly said: "She is Lin Lian, with the true inheritance of Auntie Zhong, I am afraid that she has a lot of evil schemes.
To her, without the Auntie Zhong's help, the eight-year-old Lin Lian was just like a bird with broken wings.
On the other hand, she was a little worried as she thought about instructing Rui Zhi about some things.
Although she did not manage to gather much useful information from the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, it was better than nothing. Furthermore, she had ignored Rui Zhi previously, so how could the Rui Zhi at this time not do her best to please her?
It was just that there was no relationship between the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion and the Princess Changze or even the King Rui Palace. Even when the few masters of the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion had gotten married, there was no one from the King Rui Palace.
It looked like there was nothing wrong with it, the King Rui Palace was the family of the royal family, their status was so noble, even if the old Duke Master died, it was just out of respect for their Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, how could the King Rui have any relationship with the old Duke Master?
Lin Shu felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.
In the blink of an eye, it was already autumn. Even Brother Yao had come to the capital.
Madam Lian couldn't be happier. She couldn't even look left and right to see if she had Yao. She could only blurt out, "…" When you left the capital, you were only three or two years old. Now that you have grown up, are you used to it? "
He was tall with a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling, yet carried the usual indifference of a person of Lian Family, "Aunt, rest assured, I am doing very well on this journey. Even when I was riding on the boat, I initially felt a little uncomfortable, but after a few days I will be completely fine."
Madam Lian was completely relieved. "I have already informed the academy, so stay at the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion. After a few days, we'll go to the academy. After the school holidays, we'll come back immediately …" After thinking about it, I still feel that it's not right, and I'm afraid I won't be able to find a suitable courtyard for you in that short period of time. Furthermore, you normally study in the academy, and there's no one left to manage the courtyard, so it's better for you to stay in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion to settle down. Instead, you can discuss knowledge with your brothers in the main house and the second house during the holidays … "
Just as she was talking, Maid opened the curtain, saying, "Madam, Fourth Miss is here."
Just as Maid finished speaking, Lin Shu came in. Just now, she had received news that Yao had come, thus she had hurried over, in fact, she was very curious about this "son-in-law" in her mother's heart, and she greeted him with confidence, "This must be Brother Yao."
If it was any other young master of a noble family, they would have already shifted their gaze away when they heard that, but even Yao Yao's gaze landed on Lin Shu's face, with a slight smile on her lips, "You must be Sister Shu, right? I still remember how I hugged you when I was young."
There was a hint of ridicule in his eyes. This was the benefit of being a businessman. There weren't too many rules, and it didn't seem too estranged.
Lin Shu felt that he had this kind of arrogance on his body, which made him think that it was true, she was born with a rich background, and had knowledge in her stomach, it was difficult for such a person to not feel proud when facing Yangzhou, just that here in the capital, where he was at was even more Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion!
After thinking for a while, she said: "I think Brother Yao must have worked hard on the way here. Mother, please don't drag Brother Yao here to talk, just let cousin go rest. Left Brother Yao will go to the Academy in a few days, if you want to talk to him, there are plenty of opportunities."
Madam Lian slapped her forehead and laughed: "When I'm happy, I won't remember anything. Alright, Rao Geer, I want your sister to bring you to the courtyard to rest!"
The job was originally done by the servant, but Madam Lian had told Lin Shu to lead the way. Those who did not know what was going on might think that the Madam Lian had no rules, but they knew what the Madam Lian was planning, not to mention Lin Shu, they knew about it all the time.
In fact, he had already wanted to come to the capital since a long time ago. It was just that his mother did not agree to anything and directly said that the capital did not compare to Yangzhou at all and was extremely dangerous.
He had accidentally overheard the conversation between his mother and the maid. In the future, even if there is a good marriage, it will not fall on Sister Shu's head. She thought that it would be better to marry and let Sister Shu marry Rao Geer so that he would not suffer any grievances. "
"I am extremely clear of what kind of character our mistress has. Although her methods are good, she is pure in nature, and even more so disdains to take these dirty things to heart. With her character, how can she not suffer a loss in Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion? I'm afraid that Sister Shu has a similar temper to her, and it would be good if she married Rao Geer. "
Their family's population was simple, and their family was huge. If this daughter-in-law really had too many thoughts, it wouldn't be a good thing.
But the servant girl's hesitant voice came out, "Although you and aunt's thoughts are good, Master doesn't like to think that aunt's marriage to Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion is unfair to Aunt, all these years, if it wasn't for the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion sending a message saying that there was a lack of silver, Master would never take the initiative to possess the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, but since Master is his nephew, no matter what, Master will agree to this marriage, even if Master doesn't like Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, Master will agree to it, but … However, it's not up to grandaunt to decide on the situation regarding Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion … "
Thinking about what the servant said, even Yao Yao squinted his eyes and followed Lin Shu obediently.
The moment they got out of the Fanghua Garden's door, Yao Yao immediately said: "Before I came to the capital, I was still thinking that the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion was bestowed by the emperor, so it's not much better than the Lian Family Ancestral Mansion, but it's still more or less the same. Now it seems that the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion is not up to par, no wonder Father said right in front of me that the two of you, mother and son, were wronged in the capital."
His tone was light, but it carried a hint of disdain.
