Lin Shu nodded with a serious expression, her mother's calmness had somewhat affected her.

Madam Lian patted her hands, her expression not much different from usual, "It's already raining outside, I'm afraid the chrysanthemum feast is about to end, wash your face and go over first, don't let others see anything."

Hearing her words, Lin Shu washed her face and then went to the parlour.

It was truly a disappointment to suddenly rain during a chrysanthemum feast. Everyone had no choice but to move to the parlour.

When Lin Shu went over, Princess Changze was already in the Flower Hall, but compared to before, the current Princess Changze was covered in red light. Not only was her face full of smiles, she even started to talk a lot. "I've heard Esteemed Empress Dowager mention you before. She said that when you were a girl, she heard you say that you were a model of virtuous and virtuous virtue."

These words caused the Grand Madam to praise him way too highly, but since she was willing, then the others could only follow along, and in that moment, the parlour was also bustling with noise and excitement.

Lin Hui curled her lips when she heard this, and only muttered, "... Princess Changze went out once, why does it feel like you have changed into a different person? "

Even she could tell that something was wrong with the Princess Changze.

Lin Shu laughed perfunctorily, she did not reply, her mind was filled with the conversation between Lin Pei and Princess Changze, how could she have the mind to think about other things?

took advantage of the moment where Lin Hui was not paying attention to ask her secretly, "What happened to you? "Just now, I noticed that your eyes were red. Do you feel unwell?"

Even though Lin Shu had used the ice handkerchief to cover his eyes, he was still able to tell that something was amiss with a single glance.

Lin Shu shook her head, and said: "It's nothing, it's just that I was blinded by the sand on the way back just now, everything will be fine after a while."

She had only met Zhang Yuanqing once, so she naturally would not say anything.

When she looked up, she saw Princess Changze holding onto Lin Lian's hand, laughing: "... This Fifth Miss seems to be sensible, I'm afraid a lady that can be raised under the Grand Madam's wing is an extremely good person. "

"This bracelet was given to me by Esteemed Empress Dowager when I was born and has been with me for quite some time. Now that I've seen the Fifth Miss's chance to close my eyes, I'll give this table to you. This bracelet is made from the finest Blue Heaven Jade and is extremely nutritious."

Lin Lian almost fainted from the sudden happiness. She didn't even know what to say.

was the one who replied him: "Princess Changze, this is too much. Such a precious item, how can I just casually give it to Lian Jieer?"

If she were to give Lin Hui such a good Lan Tian Jade Bracelet, she would definitely not say anything, because Lin Hui's status was right here. Although accepting this Lan Tian Jade Bracelet was a little high, it was still enough.

Princess Changze covered his mouth and laughed, "No matter how good the jade bracelet is, it is still for people to wear. Furthermore, I saw that the Fifth Miss's delicate and pretty face was like a jasmine flower that just bloomed, and it is extremely suitable for this bracelet. I think giving it to Fifth Miss would be perfect … Grand Madam, you don't have to refuse, don't tell me you want to take back what you just gave me?

She only knew that Lin You Ting had become foolish, but she did not know what was going on inside. She only thought that Lin Pei was even more protective of his daughter, and to put it bluntly, he was trying to curry favor with Lin Pei.

This time, even Grand Madam did not know what to say, and only said: "Lian Jieer, quickly thank Princess Changze."

Lin Lian went up to thank him with a blush on her face. The corners of her lips were slightly raised, but the happiness on her face could not be stopped no matter what.

When it was time for lunch, Princess Changze even brought Lin Lian along with him, their words were full of praise.

Princess Changze accompanied Grand Madam and the others to the table, the Madam and Madam sat at the table, and as for Lin Shu and the other ladies, they also opened a table for themselves.

Lin Qian, who was sitting beside Lin Shu, had never taken his eyes off Lin Lian. His eyes were filled with jealousy.

The one who should have been sitting beside Princess Changze was her!

In the end, Lin Shu felt that she had lost a lot of face, so she picked up a pair of chopsticks and picked up a squirrel mandarin fish for her and said softly: "Don't Second Sister like to eat this dish the most? "Hurry up and try it. If the food gets cold later, it won't taste good anymore."

However, Lin Qian pushed the chopsticks, squirrel and mandarin fish onto the small plate and said coldly, "I won't eat it!"

Lin Lian was Lin Shu's blood related little sister. She was resenting Lin Lian so much that she hated Lin Shu to the core.

There was still a young lady at the table who said in a low voice, "If you can't get the favor of the Princess Changze, you can just vent your anger on others. There is still such a strange thing in this world …"

However, before she could finish speaking, the other girl pulled on her sleeve and shot a look at Lin Qian, signalling her to stop.

The girl stopped talking, realizing that her voice was getting louder.

Lin Qian felt even more embarrassed, tears welled up in her eyes. As the host, she naturally could not scold her guests directly, and if that was really the case, after the end of the banquet, forget about her grandmother, even her mother would be stumped for words.

Just that, she felt wronged. Previously, Princess Changze clearly liked her the most, but why was she outdone by that bastard the moment Lin Lian appeared?

When the young ladies saw the situation, none of them went forward to advise her, but it was Lin Shu who said softly: Second Sister, quickly eat.

Lin Qian was holding onto the plate of Dongpo Elbow in front of her. Normally, this was the dish that she hated the most, but now, she could not care about anything else as her tears flowed down.

You look at me, I look at you, and I don't know what to say.

Only Lin Shu knew that Lin Qian was a person with high spirits, and upon thinking that she would be able to beat Lin Lian to it, she was naturally unhappy. Taking the chance when Grand Madam and Princess Changze were toasting each other, she said softly: "I saw Second Sister drink a lot of tea just now, so I'm afraid that you're going to have to go to the toilet right?"

Lin Qian was also a smart person, she knew that Lin Shu was trying to find a place for her to rest, so she told her to go outside to get some fresh air, then she covered her handkerchief and left the stage.

Seeing that, Zhang Yuanqing who was sitting beside her could not help but take a few more glances at her, thinking that although this Fourth Miss was young, his thoughts were extremely pure and innocent, and was also smart.

Thinking about it, she and Lin Shu spoke a few more words, and even said that she would wait for the flowers in her house to bloom, then send a message to Lin Shu.

Lin Shu was naturally smiling merrily as she agreed.

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and that it was no longer convenient to go to the garden after lunch, the banquet for the flowers was over.

Grand Madam was also tired, he allowed Lin Lian to rest on his bed. Hearing First Madam and Second Madam say that they had already sent all the madams to the Flower Door, he half closed his eyes and nodded, "... "Since that's the case, you can leave now. I've been busy for the better part of the day, and everyone is tired. There's no need to come and pay respects in the evening."

Lin Shu agreed after a few words, turned and walked out.

Before Lin Shu left, she did not forget to glance at Lin Lian. He saw that she had purposely revealed half of her Blue Field Jade Bracelet. I'll get Grandmother a basin of water and wipe Grandmother's face. "

Grand Madam did not lack maids by her side, but in front of Grand Madam, she had always done such small things himself. He was afraid that Grand Madam would not feel that she was being filial, so he gave her face.

Lin Qian had already stepped out of the room and was already prepared to go down the stairs. Now that Lin Lian had come out, she mocked her even more: "Fifth sister, you're really quite capable, I wonder what kind of fox charmer you used to attract the Princess Changze's attention to you. Heh, you actually have a lot of methods similar to the Auntie Zhong's, but I wonder if Princess Changze will still think so highly of you after knowing what the Auntie Zhong has done?"

This is the courtyard of the Grand Madam!

Lin Hui was shocked, and subconsciously pulled on Lin Qian's sleeve, "Second Sister, don't say it anymore."

However, Lin Qian broke free from her grasp and sneered. She said softly, "What, did I say something wrong? A dragon gave birth to a phoenix; a mouse gave birth to a phoenix gave birth to a phoenix. A mouse gave birth to a phoenix gave birth to a phoenix gave birth to a phoenix. "How could Aunt Zhong do such a malicious thing? I can't even tell you what happened.

Lin Lian pursed her lips. Her tears were like pearls that had been cut off, rustling as they fell.

Lin Shu did not plan to join in, regardless of whether it was Lin Qian or Lin Lian, they were both people who were easy to deal with. Lin Lian's scheming was slightly better, but with the Second Madam protecting Lin Qian's side, it was hard to say who would win and who would lose.

Seeing that Lin Lian could only cry, Lin Qian became angrier, "Grandmother and Princess Changze are not here, who are you crying to see this? Did I wrongly accuse you? Heh, Lian Jieer, don't blame me for my words as your big sister. This sparrow is a sparrow, even if it flew up the branch now, it would still fall down someday, so the higher you climb, the more painful it will fall. You better be careful. "

"Why can't I understand Second Sister's words? Auntie Zhong did do something wrong, but what does that have to do with me? Even Grandmother said that you can't bring up this matter again in the future, but Second Sister used this matter to humiliate me time and time again in the Second Branch, so what's the meaning of saying this in front of all the sisters? " While talking, Lin Lian's voice gradually grew louder and louder, and her voice had a hint of choked with sobs, "I know my identity is not comparable to Second Sister, but I'm still a lady with Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion. Second Sister, don't you dare go too far …"

Lin Qian sneered, "You're going too far? How could I dare to bully you? "Now that you are Grandmother and Princess Changze's big red man, there is a chance that one day you will say something in front of Grandmother and Princess Changze and I will go to the ancestral hall to kneel …"

When she looked up, she saw Grand Madam standing at the door. Her voice immediately changed, "Grandmother!"
