Madam Lian was not surprised at all. She had thought that with Lin Pei's vicious personality, he would definitely find out about her mistake and ask to divorce her. After all, leaving his wife was not common in Daqing Dynasty.

She even smiled and lightly said: "I agree to He Li, but there is one thing, Sister Shu has to follow me and leave the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion."

Initially, when her father was still alive, he had completely suppressed her, so she didn't dare have any thoughts about him. However, after her father passed away, Sister Shu was already 3 to 2 years old, and thinking about her daughter who was carved out of jade, she felt that she could only endure all kinds of hardships.

But now that her Sister Shu had grown up and become sensible, she knew that the young miss of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion would only have a pleasant reputation, and would only have a few more choices when the time came. But now that she had plans for the Sister Shu's marriage, why wouldn't she agree and leave?

"Sister Shu is my Lin Family's daughter, how can I follow you?" "I know that you have done a lot for the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion for so many years, and I owe you a lot, but I can't discuss this matter with Sister Shu. If there's anything else you want, I'll definitely agree to it."

Madam Lian had already thought of this a long time ago, and said with a smile: "Do you think there is anything else that I fancy in your Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion? You have never cared about Sister Shu. How many times have you hugged her ever since she was born? Sister Shu was only half a year older than him. At that time, Sister Shu knew how to laugh, so all of your thoughts fell on Lian Jieer.

"Although Tang Geer has become foolish now, you still have the Lian Jieer as your daughter, and when the new wife enters, she will help you produce children, and when that time comes, even when the new wife sees the Sister Shu, she will still feel upset, and might even make things difficult for the Sister Shu. Rather than that, it would be better to let the Sister Shu follow me back to the Lian Family!"

However, you are thinking that the Sister Shu is the Lin Family's blood and bone, and if she were to be left behind in the outside world, it would be a joke. However, you clearly understand in your heart, whether it is you or the Grand Madam, you will both look down upon the Sister Shu very little. If you agree to let me take Sister Shu away, not only will I agree to leave, I will also give you a sum of silver.

A woman coming out of a merchant's house would never be able to get rid of the stench of copper all her life!

Lin Pei sneered, his face revealing displeasure, "Could it be that my Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion is still lacking money? "You should carefully consider this matter …"

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Madam Lian's loud voice, "Without Sister Shu, I won't agree and leave."

As she spoke, she looked at Lin Pei, and said word by word. "If you have nothing else, you can leave first.

"You … You don't know what's good for you! " Lin Pei was so angry that he flicked his sleeves and left.

He had originally wanted to convince Madam Lian to obediently leave and then go to Grand Madam to apologize. However, now that Madam Lian didn't agree with him leaving, it would be hard to explain to him, let alone to Grand Madam …

Just thinking about it gave Lin Pei a headache.

Although it was just a headache, Lin Pei still felt that this matter still had some leeway. Even though he didn't go home night and day, he still didn't agree to Grand Madam's request.

Madam Lian was extremely secretive towards Lin Shu when it came to matters of leaving, but when Lin Shu looked at her occasionally absent-minded appearance and asked about it, she could vaguely guess what it was about.

Lin Shu knew that things were not as simple as they seemed, she knew that when she died in her previous life, Lin Pei had already entered the Cabinet. At that time, even Shao Shengping was afraid that after another ten or twenty years, Lin Pei would become the auxiliary head of the imperial court.

If a person did not have ambition, would they be able to occupy the Third Rank at such a young age?

Although Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion was the Honorable House, their connections and support were limited, and the majority of them were given to the current envoys. There were even fewer who were given to the remaining two sons, and the second master was only a fifth rank official.

As he thought about these troublesome matters, even Lin Shu felt his heart sink when he went to the Green Pine Academy to pay respects.

This morning, everyone came to pay their respects, but Grand Madam was still unconscious. Everyone did not want to disturb Grand Madam from resting, so they all went to the side chamber to wait.

The First Madam in the lead was still as dignified and generous as before. She held the tea Gu and sipped the tea, not saying much.

On the other hand, Second Madam kept wiping the corner of his eyes with a handkerchief and choked with sobs: "... I don't know what's going on with Mother, but she's still feeling quite sick, and even refused to drink any medicine. If this goes on, what will we do then?! "

After saying that, she looked towards First Madam and said softly, "Eldest Sister-in-law, do you think Mother has been possessed? Everyone says that she is seeking death with all her heart, that she must have been tied to her upper body by those dirty things. In the end, it was the National Duke Ning's Madam that invited the High Monk to come and help the National Duke Ning's Old Granny out, and this old lady's illness is only cured now … "Do you think we should …"

"I'm afraid this won't work!" Mother has always valued the reputation of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, if such rumors were to spread, even if Mother's illness were to recover, I am afraid that it would not be able to bypass us! " First Madam was the same as Grand Madam, he also valued face, but First Madam had more human feelings than Grand Madam.

Now, the Grand Madam laughed bitterly and shook his head: "National Duke Ning's madame is bewitched, everyone only dares to discuss in private, after all the status and position of the National Duke Ning Palace, no one dares to say anything! However, if mother was bewitched, in less than three days, it would become a topic for discussion after meals. "

Her Sis Hui'er had yet to speak of marriage, so she couldn't let this matter ruin her reputation.

Second Madam was enlightened, "Sister-in-law is so thoughtful, it was me who got anxious and confused …"

First Madam nodded and took another sip of her tea.

It was very quiet in the room. Because Grand Madam had been sick for a long time, even the sound of his footsteps sounded light, afraid that he would be scolded by Nanny Chen.

Lin Shu sat by her mother's side, looking at First Madam with a bland expression. She finally understood who Lin Hui's careless personality was.

Second Madam had always been a smart person. When he said those words just now, it only made the bystanders think that she was in a rush to cure his disease, but First Madam fell into her trap. For a moment, it was clear which daughter-in-law was truly worried and which was fake.

Even Lin Shu couldn't help but admire Second Madam. Her good reputation had really been calculated a little on his own.

Everyone sat for an hour, but they still did not see the Grand Madam wake up. Then, Lin Hui could not sit still as she wriggled about, staring at Lin Shu as if she wanted to say something.

First Madam swept her gaze across them. Lin Hui froze, like a monkey that had been pressed under the Five Fingers Mountain by Buddha.

But in less than the time it took to make a cup of tea, Lin Hui revealed her true form.

The First Madam waved impatiently at her, then she slipped away like a wisp of smoke.

was sitting with Madam Lian, and she could see him. Naturally, Madam Lian could see him too, and only said in a soft voice, "Sister Shu, I think there are still some medicinal ingredients at Fanghua Garden that your grandmother can use. Since your grandmother still hasn't woken up yet, why don't you go and fetch them?"

Lin Shu acknowledged, and then left.

Lin Hui had long been waiting for her at the corridor. The two of them walked together towards the Fanghua Garden while whispering, "... Sister Shu, Fifth Aunt is so good. Knowing that I wanted to talk to you, she took the chance to spend you. Do you know, I recently learned embroidery, and because of this matter, I've been scolded by my mother who knows how many times. I said how my hands could do embroidery, and it's not like my family can't afford to hire an embroidery lady.

As she said that, she knocked Lin Shu on the arm and asked: "Sister Shu, do you think so?"

Lin Shu had always been thinking about the condition of Grand Madam, and thinking about how Lin Pei would choose, he became distracted for a moment, "What did you say?"

The unhappiness was instantly revealed on Lin Hui's face, and there was even a sense of grievance mixed within, "You weren't even listening to me … Why don't you want to play with me these days? Every time I go to Linglong Pavilion to look for you, you always act perfunctorily. Is it because you're on good terms with Elder Zhang's granddaughter that you're no longer willing to play with me? "

At the end, his voice sounded like he was about to cry.

"Where is that? Also, between Zhang Yuanqing and I, how are we really good? " Lin Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Why are you so jealous of Zhang Yuanqing? How many times have I met her? I can't wait to see you three times a day, where do you always have so much to say? "

Lin Hui's face revealed a bit of joy, "I knew it … My mother said that Zhang Yuanqing is virtuous and virtuous, his manners and etiquette are not bad at all, and asked me to interact more with her. However, I kept on feeling that he must have thought of the Lian Jieer when I saw her, because no matter what I did, I just could not like his. That's right, when we came to visit Grandmother, we did not see much of the Lian Jieer. Could it be that he saw his grandmother sleeping and did not want to continue pretending? "
