"I am rather interested in this National Duke Ning lady!" Lin Shu laughed faintly. The one reason she was interested in National Duke Ning's wife was because she knew who the boss of the National Duke Ning Palace was and the other reason she wanted to see how arrogant National Duke Ning's wife was.

Humans, they must have the capital to be arrogant!

For example, when she had just married Shao Shengping in her previous life, she had dreamed of going out to socialize, but Shao Shengping had used various methods to make her stay at home.

As the carriage swayed, Lin Shu thought about what happened in her last life and couldn't help but feel a little dizzy. When she arrived at the entrance of National Duke Ning's Mansion, the carriage suddenly stopped and she became clear-headed.

She followed Lin Hui out of the carriage, and was welcomed by the manager's wife.

Grand Madam smiled and nodded, then followed the manager's wife into the inner court.

It had to be said that the National Duke Ning Palace was truly noble. They did not rely solely on money to create this place, but more importantly, they had the confidence of a hundred year old family.

Lin Shu's eyes were clear and she did not dare look around. After walking for an unknown amount of time, she finally heard some noise.

When she walked out, the accessories on her body made a loud noise. Even when she saw Grand Madam come over, she only exchanged a few words of greeting before ordering someone to bring him to Grand Madam's courtyard.

Lin Shu and the other juniors naturally followed to pay their respects.

The National Duke Ning had a head full of silver threads and a kind smile. A small cinnabar mole on his forehead looked like a buddha, but when she saw the Grand Madam, he was startled for a moment, as if he didn't see it. Then, he turned to the other old ladies and spoke, "... The son of the National Duke Ning Palace is difficult, the Old Duke only has one son under his command. The Old Duke is still stronger, so at least he has two sons.

Grand Madam stepped forward with a smile: "Has old sister been well recently?"

National Duke Ning nodded slightly, and said: "Thanks to sister, my body feels good."

Even though she looked refreshed, her expression and head of silver hair betrayed her. She was originally around the same age as Grand Madam, but she looked ten years older.

The Grand Madam didn't wait for her to speak and sat down nearby, pointing at Lin Shu and the others, "These are my grandchildren, I brought them as greetings to elder sister."

National Duke Ning squinted his eyes and looked around, then ordered his maidservants to give him a handkerchief.

Everyone present was intelligent, how could they not tell that something was wrong? Just now, the new madam from the Duke Chengan Palace had brought the young lady in to pay respects. The National Duke Ning s all had a Jade Bracelet that was given to them by someone, and it looked pretty good. How come when it came to Miss Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, the Jade Bracelet became a handkerchief?

But the National Duke Ning did not say anything, so the others did not dare say anything.

Even Lin Shu sensed that something was amiss, it was fortunate that there were a few ladies who were praised by the Old Granny on the side for having such good children, which was why they were able to clear away the awkward situation they were in.

Gradually, the number of people who came to pay their respects increased. Although the Grand Madam did not exchange a few words with the Grand Madam Palace's Grand Madam, but they were friendly with the few elders beside them, and they pitied Lin Shu and the others. As they did not receive their seniors' instructions, they could only sit around and wait.

The words of the older generation were simply about which family's grandson had been chosen as their granddaughter and which family's nephew had become a Grand Scholar. Amongst them, many of the flattering and flattering people praised the National Duke Ning s' excellent birth rate.

But who would have known that when the National Duke Ning heard this, his face did not contain any joy at all. You guys don't need to praise him. Kids are blessed, how can they not be praised like you guys? "Let me see, if I don't grow up to be a demon king, I'll become a Amitabha."

These words caused the room to freeze, and the old lady from before couldn't help but think that she had fawned on Ye Zichen by flattering him.

Who didn't know that the great master of the National Duke Ning Palace was the Demon King of Confusion? At the age of twelve, he had already brought a servant to beat someone to death outside, and the person who did so was not just a commoner, but the son of an official of the fifth rank. That official was so angry that he wanted to report this matter to the Emperor.

If National Duke Ning knew about this, he would definitely be furious. He would just use the stick and say that he wanted to beat him to death so that he could repay the debt for his son's life! If not for Grand Madam crying and shouting to stop him, and if National Duke Ning wanted to beat National Duke Ning to death, he might as well beat her to death too.

This National Duke Ning was neither fighting nor not fighting, he directly threw the old man onto the horse carriage, which began to spin, and directly sent the normally pampered young master to the Tianjin.

Everyone knew that the National Duke Ning Palace was a martial general family, and since ancient times, there had been more people who died on the battlefield than those who were still alive, each and every one of them looking like delicate and precious treasures. The pitiful Old Duke's two sons died before they could even marry their first wives, and their third son was still a bit stronger, and even married into a martial general's family, but when the news of him dying in battle spread, his pregnant daughter-in-law also followed him.

After that, the Old Duke spread the word that the children and grandchildren of the National Duke Ning Palace would never be able to practice martial arts again.

However, the General's Family could not compare to the family that had a hundred years of history behind them. Even if they had to work even harder, National Duke Ning would only be able to become a Grand Scholar after thirty years. It was a good thing that with the Meng Yin from their ancestors, the National Duke Ning Palace was able to enjoy luxurious clothing and good food for generations to come.

Everyone was very clear in their hearts. If the country's prince had a way with this old man, how would he send his son to such a place? With a slight misstep, his life was thrown back onto the battlefield.

The National Duke Ning saw that the atmosphere was not right and said with a smile, "... I saw that the new wife of the Duke Chengan just now was not bad. Although he was young, his steps were extremely steady as he walked in the door. In the end, the Ye Family taught him well! "

Although these words seemed to praise the Duke Chengan Mistress, it was actually praise the Ye Family.

"Now that I heard this, my back straightened a bit," I heard that no matter if it is the direct descendant or concubine, the daughter of the Ye family was taken care of by the old lady who was the leader of the Ye family. Although the Ye family is no longer the same as before, they are willing to spend money from the palace to invite a senior servant to raise their daughter.

Another person who seemed to be smart was praising the Ye Family, but he was actually praising his own direct wife.

Everyone started to discuss with the Ye Family right away, but Lin Hui yawned when she heard it.

With his sharp eyes, Grand Madam swept his gaze over them. Lin Hui immediately shut his mouth in fright.

When the National Duke Ning saw this, he laughed: "Look at my memory, every girl has to sit here and chat with us old grannies. Nanny Bai, send these young misses to the pavilion, there will be a show group with Liucheng Garden, it's very lively!"

After seeing Lin Shu and the others out the door, she instructed the Maid to send them to the pavilion.

Lin Qian, however, was walking at the front angrily. As she walked, he could not help but scold Lin Hui, "... How do you like what I say? How can I let you yawn in front of the National Duke Ning? If we were to be carelessly seen by the National Duke Ning, how would she think of us, the young miss? "

When she thought about what her mother had told her last night, she felt even more resentful towards Lin Hui. Her mother said that her grandmother and Grand Madam did not seem to be on good terms with each other.

At that time she did not understand, she raised her head and asked: "Then why did Grandmother bring us to the National Duke Ning Palace this time? Since this grandmother and National Duke Ning do not get along, then why does the National Duke Ning Palace keep inviting us to be their guests? "

She really wanted to ask her mother why her grandmother and Grand Madam did not get along well. Even though she was young, she felt that her grandmother was not someone who could see the situation clearly.

Who would have thought that Second Madam would only smile and say: "Your grandmother's status is still higher than mine and your First Aunt. The reason I'm bringing you guys to the National Duke Ning Palace is because I want you to show your faces in front of all the old ladies, and then I'll find you two a good marriage."

With that, she paused for a moment before continuing, "As for what kind of grudges your grandmother and National Duke Ning have, even I am not clear about. I only remember that before I got married, my aunt told me to be careful of my relationship with the National Duke Ning Palace. "Before, I also thought about why the National Duke Ning Palace would always invite our family to be guests. Most likely, the National Duke Ning is not in charge anymore, so all of the household's matters have been handed over to the National Duke Ning Mistress to manage, and he also doesn't know much about these grudges. That's why he gave us this invitation."

"But no matter what, those who are able to visit the National Duke Ning Palace are all Honorable House s, even those who have esteemed identities like the First Princess's princess have to go pay respects to the National Duke Ning's birthday, you must remember that tomorrow, no one is allowed to make even the slightest mistake!"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Thinking back to her grandmother's actions just now, she had no intentions of sending them out, she probably wanted to make them show their faces in front of these old ladies. She wanted to blame Lin Hui … She really couldn't afford it.

Lin Hui also knew that she was wrong, and thinking about how she wouldn't be able to escape punishment after she returns to the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, her voice was faintly choked with sobs. "Second sister, I … It's just that last night, I wanted to come to National Duke Ning Palace to be a guest. Normally, I would have been able to fall asleep the moment I laid on the bed, but last night, I was unable to sleep at all, which was why … "

Lin Qian did not even look at her, and continued to walk forward angrily, "It's useless to say these words to me, just explain it to Grandmother when we return!"
