Grand Madam didn't know if this was a happy or sad thing, his hands tightly gripped the armrest of his teacher's chair, and he didn't speak for a long time.
The room was very quiet, and the quiet Lin Shu was even able to hear the thumping of her heart.
In the time it took to make a cup of tea, she felt as if a lifetime had passed.
Even if your mother wasn't born in the Primordial Profound Ark,he was still someone who was born with the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion to marry into our sect. After all, she hadn't committed any grave mistakes in all these years, so how could he give a spot to someone else? If word of this gets out, will Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion be able to establish its foothold in the capital? " Grand Madam's face was gloomy and gloomy, he sighed: "Even if Princess Changze is a clan member who is rich and powerful, if you want to enter through the gates of our Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, you still need me to nod my head, your father has always placed importance on the official road, but this time, I am afraid you are confused, do not worry, I will properly advise him."
Although he said that, he knew that Lin Pei had a lot of ideas, so he could only advise his.
Lin Shu also heaved a sigh of relief, since her grandmother valued Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion more than other people, "Grandmother, then I thank you here …"
"Silly girl, why are you saying this? On the other hand, you've encountered such a thing at such a young age, and yet you're still holding it in in for such a long time. Only then did Grand Madam flick the water droplets on his body, as if he had thought of something, and his hands paused for a moment, "Is there anyone else who knows about this?"
Lin Shu knew that the Grand Madam was extremely cautious, she thought about how Actinin Qin had been extremely cautious while keeping watch on her behalf, and only said: "Other than Mother and me, no one else knows about this."
If Grand Madam knew about this, his life would not be saved.
Grand Madam nodded his head slightly, "That would be for the best. This matter concerns our Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion's reputation, we must keep it a secret."
Lin Shu hurriedly nodded: "Grandmother, don't worry. I know what to do, but you should hurry up and change your clothes. It's already the late autumn, if you are not careful, you will catch a cold."
Good, our sister Shu is so obedient!" There was a smile on the Grand Matriarch's lips, but it was not a smile at all. Her tone was even more intimate than before. Rather than calling her close, it would be more accurate to say she was trying to curry favor with her.
It was common for a child to accidentally leak information.
Lin Shu turned and left.
However, not even two hours after she returned to the Linglong Pavilion, Nanny Chen came over with a few ingredients. Now that the weather is cold, Grand Madam ordered a servant to bring a few pieces of cloth over, saying that they are for young lady to make new clothes, Grand Madam had said that, although she knew that you normally do not need to worry about food or clothes, the things that Lian Family sent over were the intentions of the Lian Family, and what she sent over was the intentions of the elder. At her age, you should not mind having too many clothes, it is the age of being well dressed! "
Was this considered roping in?
Lin Shu knew that Grand Madam would definitely not be at ease with her. Looking at Nanny Wei who was following behind his, she already understood in her heart, "Then, Nanny Chen, please go back and help me thank Grandmother."
The smile on Nanny Chen's face did not waver, "Fourth Miss is too polite."
When she thought of what Grand Madam had said just now, she said, "Although Madam Lian comes from a merchant's family, the wealth of the Lian Family is famous throughout the entire Daqing Dynasty. Although everyone in this world looks down on merchants, there are not many who do not like silver, and Madam Lian is the only daughter of the Lian Family, so Madam Lian already knows about this matter.
"If Lian Family doesn't know, that would be for the best. But if Lian Family knows, if it really gets into a ruckus, then Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion's reputation will be swept up as well … Furthermore, I am not completely confident about the Fifth Master! Since things have progressed to this point, I can't get involved with the Madam Lian, and coincidentally, the Nanny Zhu is in a bad position, so I took this opportunity to ask the Nanny Wei to go over and help me, so I could keep an eye on the situation there. If things get out of hand, with the fourth miss in our hands, the Madam Lian and the Lian Family will not dare to act rashly. "
Lin Shu did not let go of the expression on Nanny Chen's face because Grand Madam was already very unsatisfied with the results of the Linglong Pavilion and he had not stepped foot in the place even once since the repair of the Linglong Pavilion. It was even his first time coming back, "What is Mommy standing there for? He was tired of standing! Why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea to rest yourself? "
Nanny Chen regained her senses at this point, and said with a smile: "Fourth Miss is too courteous, I can't leave the Green Pine Academy side, I still have to rush back …. On the other hand, the Grand Madam took pity on the Miss who was sensible and said that the Fifth Miss was raised beside her, afraid that the Fourth Miss would think that they were all one-in-a-world ladies. The Grand Madam was biased, and immediately sent a Steward Nanny over. "
Lin Shu's smile did not waver, "Grandmother is too polite, how can I be jealous of Fifth Sister? Furthermore, there is already a Nanny Zhu in my courtyard, and Nanny Wei is considered an old man by Grandmother's side. If I were to send Nanny Wei over, Grandmother would be too unfilial since there are no one by my side to serve … "
But before she could finish speaking, Nanny Wei chuckled. "Nanny Zhu? The things that Nanny Zhu did previously had already become a joke on He’s Mansion, I am afraid she does not even know where she is currently! This time, this servant has come in accordance to Grand Madam's orders, to properly teach Nanny Zhu how to become her Steward Nanny. " His tone couldn't be considered as humble, and it even carried a hint of arrogance.
Grand Madam was accompanied by Nanny Chen as his husband's maid. When Grand Madam was young, he had smallpox, which was why she found a folk remedy and saved his life. In the past few years, Grand Madam had been very generous to her, why would she, a servant, have such confidence?
Nanny Chen also felt that she did not put Fourth Miss in her eyes. Grand Madam did not like the fifth wife, but how could he tolerate a servant following his around? "Nanny Chen is still an old man by Grand Madam's side, although she is quite strict with people, she is extremely loyal to her, not to mention that the things that Nanny Zhu had done previously were indeed a bit excessive, but she is Second Madam's person, even with Second Madam's face, it would be hard to sell her out, so I had no choice but to ask Nanny Wei to teach her a lesson. If she does not change, Nanny Wei will report it to Grand Madam."
"Since Grandmother dotes on me like this, then Nanny Chen must thank Grandmother on my behalf when we return." Lin Shu's face revealed an appropriate look of joy, but in truth, he also understood in his heart, when the matter between Lin Pei and Princess Changze was resolved, and when Nanny Wei would leave the Linglong Pavilion. She didn't dare to hope!
Nanny Chen exchanged a few more pleasantries before she left.
Nanny Wei stood on the spot, her chin slightly raised, thinking about Grand Madam's orders just now, she felt that she was here to watch over Fourth Miss, not this servant.
Lin Shu didn't really care much about her expression, she only ordered Actinin Qin to bring Nanny Wei down there and clean up.
For a moment, there were two Steward Nanny s in the Linglong Pavilion. Those who did not know about it would think that the Grand Madam valued Lin Shu, and other than Lin Hui, this Lin Qian and Lin Lian would probably be so angry that they would tear the handkerchief apart.
Rui Zhi was naturally very happy, she had even went to Nanny Wei's room with her front legs, but immediately went to ask for help. Her attitude was full of flattery, as she only wanted to hug Nanny Wei's thick and strong thigh, to gain favor with Lin Shu again as soon as possible.
On the other hand, Nanny Zhu was extremely furious. She had lived for so many years, but she had never heard of any lady with two Steward Nanny s in her courtyard.
But now, the Second Madam couldn't even take care of his own daughter, so how could he have the mind to take care of her? With a few words, he sent her away.
The Nanny Zhu was furious, but she had no choice, she could only flatter in front of Lin Shu.
Immediately, Nanny Zhu's flattery formed a contrast with Nanny Wei's haughty indifference. In that moment, this Linglong Pavilion servant girl felt that Nanny Wei was even more like a master than Lin Shu.
However, all of the servant girls dared to discuss about it in private in the Linglong Pavilion. Outsiders believed that Fourth Miss was favored by the Grand Madam.
When Nanny Wei saw heshe she acted as if hshedidn't see her at all. But since she had already invited An An, he went back to her room to hide, as if she was angry at something, "... Heh, no matter how honorable the servant beside Grand Madam is, he is still a servant. If he can set up a master score in front of me, then wouldn't he be able to go up to the heavens in front of you? Even if they really want to send someone to watch over you, they would have to send a slightly better wife here, this Nanny Wei is not simple!
However, Lin Shu said softly: "Don't be angry mother, these few days, I think that Nanny Wei is not bad. All I do is hide myself and don't take my matter to heart, if you really go in front of Grandmother and cause a ruckus, Grandmother will send Nanny Chen here, what will you do? Nanny Chen may seem soft on nature, but she's a strong person. "
"But the Nanny Wei is not here either!" Madam Lian looked at her daughter and sighed, "Look at her, it's only been a few days and your round face has already lost a lot of weight."
In fact, she had also lost weight? When he arrived in front of her Sister Shu, he had to pretend that nothing had happened. This kind of feeling was the most tormenting of all, "Don't worry, I've already written to inform your uncle about this matter, and I'm afraid it'll be over in a few days. Don't be afraid, you still have your mother and uncle to take care of everything." Each and every one of these people from Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion were unreliable, so she had to plan ahead. She even thought of asking her brother to send a team of guards from Yangzhou over, that would be the most reassuring.
