Lin Shu kept thinking about this problem in her mind, and even when she was in front of the Grand Madam, her knitted eyebrows did not relax.

Lin Hui had already received the news a long time ago, but now, he eagerly rushed over and held Lin Shu's hand as they chattered non-stop, "... Sister Shu, are you alright? Everything was fine, is there something wrong with Princess Changze's head? Why did I hit you? You don't have to be angry. If you are, if you are angry, then the injury on your face will heal a bit slower.

"I know, third sister, you don't have to worry about me." Lin Shu forced a smile in front of him.

Only then did Lin Hui relax a bit, and she even forgot that the Grand Madam was right in front of him, and started to speak with her words.

This time, it was rare for Grand Madam to not speak up and scold Lin Hui.

After a long while, the room returned to silence, only the sound of the servant girl sweeping the snow could be heard, Grand Madam's voice slowly sounded from within the room, "Sis Hui'er, it's getting late, and the snow outside is getting heavy, go back earlier, in case your mother worries …"

Lin Hui subconsciously wanted to reject her, but when she raised her head to look at her grandmother, she felt that both her grandmother and Sister Shu were preoccupied with their own matters.

When there was no one else in the room, Grand Madam sighed, "Sister Shu, I have wronged you today."

"As long as I can protect mother, not to mention a slap, I wouldn't even care about ten slaps." When Lin Shu was not here yet, Lin Shu had already told Grand Madam the whole story. He was just about to discuss what to do, but now that Lin Hui was gone, she needed to discuss what to do with Grand Madam.

But Grand Madam did not answer him.

No one would ever think that his Princess Changze would come in such an aggressive manner. The imperial clan of the Daqing Dynasty had always prided themselves on being a noble, noble clan, and everyone felt that they were inferior to them. Amongst them, the Princess Changze was the most arrogant, and she did not even put her sister-in-law in his eyes. If Princess Changze didn't even care about his own reputation, then what about Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion?

In this world, everyone protected their own weaknesses. If this matter were to spread, the empress dowager and the emperor would think that Lin Pei had deceived the Princess Changze. A man with a wife and children had deceived the princess, that wouldn't be a joke!

In that moment, Grand Madam also started to panic. If Lin Shu and Madam Lian still didn't know about this matter, she would definitely stand on the Princess Changze's side for the sake of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion. But now, it seemed that no matter how she did it, he couldn't escape a single wrong word …

Lin Shu could vaguely guess what the Grand Madam was thinking. She could only say with grievance: "Grandmother, what should we do in the end? "My mother wrote a letter to uncle a while ago. Uncle said to calm down and not let our imaginations run wild, there will always be a way. If there's anything that requires money, just write and tell him …"

Actually, Uncle's letter hadn't arrived yet, but it was about to arrive. Most likely, these were the only words in the letter, after all, Uncle didn't have a official body, and was in Yangzhou, so water couldn't save fire.

Grand Madam squinted his eyes. fourth miss was threatening her, so how could she not hear it? "I already said that the family is untouchable, but the two of you actually caused this matter to go to the Lian Family. What would you do if word of this gets out? Although it was your father who was in the wrong in this matter, if you were to lose face with your Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, it would not be a joke … "

Lin Shu felt shamelessly in her heart, the Grand Madam had indeed left a trump card in the dark. Who knows when he might turn around and look for the Princess Changze instead, "Grandmother, mother doesn't mean that … That's why he wrote a letter and asked his uncle. You also know that he has always doted on his mother, so he will definitely hide that letter his mother wrote and not ruin his reputation in Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion! This Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion is also mother's and my family's, if Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion's reputation is ruined, what benefits can mother and I get? "

At the end of her words, her voice revealed a faint hint of a sobbing tone.

He could only clench his teeth and say that he understood. He wanted her to recuperate properly and let him send Lin Shu back home. It was good that she was still with her in the Linglong Pavilion. Otherwise, she would really have a hard time sleeping and eating.

After sending Lin Shu off, the Grand Madam instructed the maidservants to bring Lin Pei in.

Lin Pei's expression remained calm, as if nothing had happened. The more he acted this way, the angrier Grand Madam became, "What do you plan to do now? We can't afford to offend the Princess Changze. Who knows, if we say a few words in front of the empress dowager or the emperor one day, we might not be able to preserve our Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion! Although Madam Lian is a merchant's daughter, his Lian Family does not have any official body, but that big brother of mine doesn't seem like someone who is easy to deal with.

With that, she patted the small table at the side, and said loudly: "Even the fourth miss is not easy to fool. There is a threat in her words, and you've made it so far, what do you plan to do?"

Lin Pei laughed lightly, and said indifferently: "Please do not worry, I will settle this matter well."

Grand Madam was so angry that he grabbed a tea Gu from a small table at the side and threw it over. The tea Gu flew everywhere, but Nanny Chen stood at the side and did not even dare to go forward to advise. I would actually like to ask you, are you waiting for the Emperor to dispatch troops to seize our Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion's seat, and you still want to tell an old granny like me that you can handle it? "

"I don't want to hear about the grudges between you and Princess Changze, and I'm not interested in them either. But now, Princess Changze's hands are almost on my face, do you still want to marry this kind of woman into your family? If you don't have Madam Lian, I will just accept it. But if you want to marry Princess Changze, how are Madam Lian and Lian Family going to explain themselves? "

Who said I want to marry the Princess Changze? It was no wonder that the Princess Changze missed him for so many years. Now, he said even more indifferently: "Even if I did say that I wanted to marry her in front of the Princess Changze, the words between the man and the woman were mostly just to coax his. Although the Lian Family is unofficial, it is still a heaven shaking fortune. Do you think that by borrowing the Elder Jiangge's little bit of money, you can support that large clan of Jiang Family? Isn't it all because of the Lian Family behind them? Or did you think that I relied on my true abilities to sit in the position of the Assistant Minister in the Third Rank when I was merely twenty years old? "

"Even if I really said that I wanted to leave Madam Lian, I didn't think that she would agree. As for Princess Changze, don't worry, I will temporarily keep her cold for two days.

Grand Madam was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Our Master Lin is really good at scheming, I only hope that you will not fail …"

"Don't worry, we will definitely not fail, all the Princess Changze wants is to marry into our Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, how can he dare to cause such a ruckus? "What good will it do her?" "If Princess Changze wants to marry into Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, he wouldn't dare to do anything to Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion. The only thing that would make things difficult for his is Madam Lian, and only if Madam Lian dies will she be able to brightly marry into Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion."

As for the Lian Family, it's not hard for us to explain. The man is looking for trouble outside, it's not a serious matter, the Princess Changze caused his death, what does it have to do with us? No matter how rich and imposing Lian Family was, could it be that he would be able to settle the score with the Princess Changze? Madam Lian's brother is a businessman, and as long as it's a matter of interest, she knows it better than us. When this matter comes to the end, Lian Family will only suffer! "

He had already planned this out beforehand, if not he would not have taken the risk and thought that he would be able to obtain the position of the Assistant Minister with such ease.

The shock on Grand Madam's face gradually calmed down. Using the Eight Horn Palace's lantern, he looked over, with a hint of apprehension and hope, "But if Madam Lian were to die, how could Lian Family be used to send silver back to the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion?"

"Have you forgotten? When the Madam Lian dies, she will still be in our Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, how can the ladies of our Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion be kept in our Lian Family?" Lin Pei felt that his plan was extremely good, and said word by word: "In fact, if Princess Changze were to marry into our Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, it would be a great thing. When that time comes, since we can borrow the Princess Changze's power, we can obtain the wealth of our Lian Family!"

The Grand Madam was moved as well. "The Princess Changze is Esteemed Empress Dowager's precious daughter. If she can call the empress dowager and the emperor to listen in on one sentence, how can we fear that our Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion won't have any wealth in the future? Was he afraid that the emperor would not value him? As for Lian Family, even if Madam Lian doesn't send any more silver over, just based on her dowry, it would be enough for you to buy some things. "

As she finished her sentence, her eyes lit up.

Lin Pei nodded, and said indifferently: "That's exactly the theory … Otherwise, your son wouldn't have been able to think of such a stratagem. Not only can he temporarily stabilize the Madam Lian, he can also trick the Princess Changze into doing so, in truth, women are all very stupid, whether it is the Auntie Zhong or the Princess Changze, your son wouldn't have acted rashly towards women. "

His character really went along well with the cruel and merciless Grand Madam.
