And now, in the second room, Lin Lian heard Second Madam's joyous voice, and his tears fell like beads that had dropped, "... Now that Princess Changze and I can be considered as close friends, and that Princess Changze is only two or three years younger than me, if I can use this opportunity to have Princess Changze take him as my goddaughter, then what kind of marriage can't I find in Sister Qian? "

"Mother, what nonsense are you spouting? Your daughter doesn't want to get married. She wants to be by your side for the rest of her life." Lin Qian's charming voice entered Lin Lian's ears, making her understand the meaning of her words.

Lin Lian gripped the handkerchief tightly, but her tears began to fall even more violently.

What kind of virtue does Lin Qian possess, that she still doesn't know? Even in her dreams, she would want to marry a good family!

On the surface, the mother and daughter both looked like people who were very close to each other, but in truth, their hearts and hearts were both black. When she first came to the Second Branch, Grand Madam often asked her about it, her diet and living conditions were the same as Lin Qian, at least on the surface they were the same.

She was just waiting for the incident with Auntie Zhong to happen, then the second branch's attitude towards her also changed. On the surface, the Second Madam was still telling her to look for her if anything is lacking, but there were some things that shouldn't be said.

The instant noodles was still exactly the same as Lin Qian, but the quality and taste was much worse than before, especially the one on the east slope at noon today. Was he bullying her because she hadn't eaten the east slope's elbow before? She had never seen a chef who made East Slope elbows full of mushrooms, tofu, and bamboo shoots. The elbow inside only contained two or three pieces, and it was still pure bone. There wasn't a single piece that could be eaten …

Thinking of this, Lin Lian felt even more wronged. She lay down on the bed and began to cry.

When she thought about how she had gone out to visit Grand Madam while they were gone, and how she had to lock all the capable maidservants in the house, and how she had to send a letter to Auntie Zhong after spending all her personal money, the Auntie Zhong only replied her with four words — Calm down.

Be patient? Now that someone had bullied her, how could she remain calm?

But now, no matter how anxious she was, she still could not catch a glimpse of the Auntie Zhong.

Lin Lian, on the other hand, never expected that the news of her and Auntie Zhong sending a message today would already be known by Lin Shu.

Rui Zhi had lost face in front of Lin Shu, and now that she had told her the news, it was as if she was offering her a treasure.

However, Lin Shu's attention was all placed on the Flower Lover Banquet in a few days time, so she was not really interested in this news. Even if Auntie Zhong is like a trapped beast now, they still have their own schemes. After what happened, Lin Lian hasn't even seen Auntie Zhong once.

"Although the Auntie Zhong has already fallen out of favor, there is no need for you to worry. However, you should send people to keep an eye on Falling Swallow Garden. I'm afraid that she still has some tricks up her sleeve."

"Yes." Although Rui Zhi agreed, she was still disappointed in her heart. After quarreling with the Nanny Zhu, she had become smarter.

However, no matter how smart and obedient he was, what could he do? If the girl didn't want to use her, what could she do? She had been staring at the Falling Swallow Garden every single day recently, and seeing Actinin Qin acting good by the girl's side made her feel as if she had eaten a fly.

But when she thought about how Nanny Zhu's situation was similar to hers, she finally felt better.

After Rui Zhi left, Actinin Qin worriedly asked: "Miss, what happened to you? It seems like you have been worrying a lot ever since you returned from National Duke Ning Palace … "

Lin Shu shook her head and softly said: "Nothing much, you have been by my side for the whole day, so you must be tired.

There were many things that had already changed from her past life. She couldn't be hasty, couldn't be chaotic, and now, the more turbulent the situation became, the more careful she had to be.

Waiting until the second day when she went to pay respects to Madam Lian, Madam Lian found out that there was news of Princess Changze's arrival.

Honestly speaking, the Madam Lian was also eager to have a good relationship with the Princess Changze, so it would be beneficial for her to tell the truth to her Sister Shu about the marriage. When Lin Shu entered, the Madam Lian was already instructing her, "... In a few days, the Princess Changze will be here as a guest. Not only the Princess Changze, but many other wives and families will be here as well. Although there are some rare chrysanthemums in the house, it's still not enough. "

It just so happens that Lian Family has brought over a few pots of Inulin from Yangzhou. At that time, it would be better to collect these pots of Inulin and wait for Princess Changze to say his goodbyes.

She also had her own selfish motives. I heard that the Second Madam's Bead Flowers were able to attract the attention of the Princess Changze, and these pots of Inulin were cultivated from the Yangzhou, and even in the capital, she did not have them. She was afraid that if she gave them to the Princess Changze, the Princess Changze would be able to look at his house up and down a few times.

How could Lin Shu not understand her thoughts? She only took a quick step forward, "Mother, Aunt sent this chrysanthemum over to you, it originally only had three pots. If Aunt knew that you had gifted this chrysanthemum to someone else, I'm afraid she wouldn't be happy."

"Silly child, your aunt wouldn't be unhappy because of these chrysanthemums. No matter how rare they are, aren't they chrysanthemums as well?" Madam Lian had never seen Princess Changze before, and Lin Shu had even avoided her like a snake and scorpion. She had never even talked about him before, so she had only heard about him a few times.

She did not expect that she would be able to win against the dragon and phoenix, but she hoped that her Sister Shu would have someone to speak up for her when she was in danger.

Sometimes, the words of an influential person were even more valuable than their lives.

On the way here, he had even been thinking of using this opportunity to trick his mother not to show herself. Now that he heard this, he naturally did not agree, "Alright, even if First Aunt does not blame him, it is probably because Brother Yao is only going to study in White Horse Institute because of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, so he is not going to say anything. Do you know whether she is truly happy or not? Aunt said that he only got three pots of chrysanthemums and sent them all to you. "

Also, you forgot that second uncle and father previously wanted to buy your Inulin from you, but you rejected them. If second uncle knew that you gave the Inulin to Princess Changze, it would be hard for him to be unhappy. You also know that second uncle always likes these rare things.

"Your aunt always knew that I don't like these flowers and plants. I'm afraid that she sent these Mo Juans over in order to be of use at a critical moment. There's no need to worry about that." Madam Lian paused for a while as she spoke. When she thought that the second master indeed wanted these pots of Inulin, he hesitated.

Originally, she gave a lot of good stuff to the Second House out of respect for Lin Shu and the Second House, which also led the Second Master to have a habit of asking directly. But the Second Master took a liking to something else, and that was fine too, since the Second Master had taken a liking to Inky, but there isn't more than five pots in the entire world, so there was nothing she could give her, "How about I give your Second Uncle a pot of Ink Flowers?

Although she was not good at socializing, did not have much knowledge, did not know how to change her ways, and was very strict with her maidservants, her heart was not bad.

Lin Shu's heart warmed, and laughed: "You can't be clearer than anyone else about who Second Aunt is, don't worry, even if Lian Jieer is really at a disadvantage in the Second Branch, she wouldn't really be at a disadvantage at all. It's good for her to remember, if not I would think that everyone in the world is like you, treating her like that … Forget it, you can decide on the pots of Inulin as you wish! "

She was afraid that it would be impossible to stop Princess Changze from meeting her mother. Even if she had the ability to persuade her mother, what about Grand Madam? Grand Madam really wanted to take Princess Changze's words as an imperial edict. Even if her mother was sick that day, she would have to bring her mother out no matter what.

Restraining herself from thinking about these things, Lin Shu chatted with the Madam Lian for a while, then left.

But even if they did not want to, it seemed that anyone in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion would be able to hear the words "Princess Changze". The Maid's people discussed that the Lord of Changze had yet to be married, and the women said that the Princess Changze's fate was good, so there was no need to serve the old granny.

Even when Lin Shu went to greet the Green Pine Academy in the evening, she still hadn't even entered the door when she heard Grand Madam's voice, "... When they arrived at the entrance, Steward Nanny told Old Second's wife that it was impolite to send Old Second's wife over to receive them, but this time, it is no longer like that. Although it is a normal chrysanthemum feast, we still have to invite the production team of Liucheng Garden, we still need to send someone to Ru Yi Zai to inform them that they should bring fresh snacks early in the morning, preferably those that are not common in the palace. As for silver, we can discuss it. "

First Madam didn't dare to hand over these matters to Madam Lian, so she personally called her over to give some orders, afraid that Madam Lian wouldn't do well.

Speaking of style, the Madam Lian was indeed not comparable to the First Madam.

After a moment of silence, Grand Madam's voice rang out once more, "... But now that he has already married into the Madam Ye, it is useless even if we say it out loud. Fortunately, the Madam Ye is very obedient and understanding now, and has gotten pregnant, you have to take good care of the Madam Ye, if she can become a man in one go, it would be a great achievement for our Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion.
