Lin Chengyi, who was sitting beside her, chewed on his venison and said quickly, "Who said it's fine? Didn't Fourth Sister receive a slap a few days ago? "
There seemed to be not many people who did not know about this in Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, but in truth, there were a few who did not know about it. The two maids were connected to one another, and this old servant was the aunt of the head maid, who was also the cousin of the other Maid.
Lin Qian immediately covered his mouth and scolded him in a low voice: "What are you talking about!"
After saying that, she hurriedly turned to the crowd and said, "Child, you don't know how to speak properly. Fourth Sister, please don't take offense to your words."
The young masters were all living in the outer court, and other than Lin Chengyi, who was currently living with Second Madam, they did not know anything else. For a moment, everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold, but they did not dare say anything.
Initially, she thought that Lin Chengyi was lying, but looking at the wounds on Lin Shu's face, she thought that Lin Shu was definitely not someone who would allow others to hurt him. Presumably, this was most likely true.
Lin Lian had always lived with the Grand Madam and knew about this matter as well. However, she now revealed a look of shock on her face, "H-how could there be such a thing? Fourth Sister, are you alright? "
Lin Shu shook her head and did not say a word.
"Everything is fine, what is going on here? Even if Princess Changze is a princess, he doesn't have the right to rush over to our house and beat us up! " Lin Lian only said this sentence, but sometimes, half of her sentence was left for him to say before it became even more reverie.
All of a sudden, the way the others looked at Lin Shu changed. They all felt that Lin Shu was previously arrogant in the palace, but now that she had lost face in front of the Royal Princess …
If it had been the Lin Shu from before, she would have unhesitatingly revealed this matter to clear her grievances.
It was true that Lin Qian and Lin Lian were enemies, but even if they were enemies, in the face of benefits, they could still become temporary allies, "Grandmother will not allow me to speak of this matter, if you want to ask, you can ask Grandmother."
"Can't you tell us all about it? Sister Shu, we are one family, if you say it out loud, we can also give you advice. Otherwise, if this news spreads, what will you do if your reputation is ruined? " Lin Qian completely assumed the posture of a good older sister, as if she had forgotten who set this trap for Lin Shu to jump in.
Lin Shu lowered her head and did not say a word.
Lin Qian and Lin Lian had only wanted to hug the big tree known as the Princess Changze, and had even forgotten their displeasure from before. The two of them were singing at the same time, and were simply stronger than the most popular Yuan Xiaoyi.
But no matter what they said, Lin Shu did not speak.
Even Shao Shengping, who was sitting diagonally across from her, was puzzled. This lady did not seem to be arrogant and despotic.
In the end, Yao Yao couldn't bear to listen any longer and coldly laughed, "Since my two younger cousins are so concerned about my two younger cousins, why are you forcing them to say something they aren't willing to say? If you have the skill, you would have asked Grand Madam a long time ago. "
"Exactly!" Lin Hui suddenly stood up, and said loudly: "Second Sister, you are a big sister, yet you still keep on asking even though you know that Sister Shu is feeling uncomfortable. And Lian Jieer, you are Sister Shu's little sister, why are you also helping her? Sister Shu, ignore them, let's go! "
With that, she dragged Lin Shu out of the pavilion, and as she walked, she could not help but say that those people were really too excessive.
On the other hand, Lin Shu looked at Lin Hui's chubby face and muttered, "Third sister, thank you."
It was true that Lin Hui was a stubborn person, but Grand Madam's words made his feel as ifhe was extremely stubborn, and if there were any outsiders present, she would be as docile as a little sheep. Lin Hui's actions just now really moved her, or else she really wouldn't know how to leave the stage.
"What's wrong with that? I'm your older sister!" Lin Hui clenched her fist tightly and said unhappily: "It's fortunate that Grandmother had always praised Second Sister and Lian Jieer that they were sensible earlier, I saw that the one that was least sensible in the house was the two of them, and said that I was afraid that this matter would spread and humiliate your reputation, but with Duke Chengan here today, and a few other people, it will be a piece of cake to spread these words to the outside world. Forget it, forget it. The more I talk, the more I feel angry. "
Lin Shu laughed, "Who said they didn't do it on purpose … Heh, I had originally known that they had come prepared today, but I did not expect them to ask such a question so confidently, especially Second Sister. Looking at her expression just now, she seemed to be wishing that I would not speak, and thus did not intend to tell me to leave … If you and Brother Yao weren't here, I'm afraid I would have a headache. "
Lin Hui's face revealed a bashful smile, "If you say it like that, then I'm a little embarrassed. Don't thank me, just now … Didn't Brother Yao just give you a little white fox? Since you don't like it, then give me this little white fox. "
When she said this, she was a little embarrassed. Although the Kong Family could not compare to Lian Family, she was still someone who did not need to worry about food or clothes. When had she ever asked anyone for anything?
However, Lin Shu was a little hesitant, "Even if I don't like this thing, it's a gift from Brother Yao. If he finds out that I gave this white fox to someone else without his permission, he might be unhappy."
However, Lin Hui held her hand and said coquettishly, "Brother Yao is not such a petty person … My good Sister Shu, just give me the white fox, I'll definitely take good care of it, okay? "
Lin Shu had no choice but to agree.
Lin Hui was very happy, and laughed non-stop along the way. She even personally sent Lin Shu to the Fanghua Garden before leaving.
Lin Shu's face didn't look happy at first, but the moment she stepped into the Flowery Garden, the expression on her face turned jubilant.
Seeing that, the Madam Lian did not suspect anything, she only smiled and asked if she had been playing happily.
Lin Shu nodded her head: "Of course I am happy, it was more lively than last time when I ate barbecue with Third Sister. After that, Brother Yao also came back, and Duke Chengan also came over with Brother Yao.
"Duke Chengan and your Brother Yao have a good relationship?" Madam Lian's face had a look of disbelief, she knew that the young masters of the capital city families always paid attention to their families, and wanting to fit into this circle, was not simple at all, "I heard that not only is the Duke Chengan born well, but he has great knowledge at such a young age, and there are even people who praised him that his future is limitless … Originally, I thought that since Rao Geer came to the capital, he would definitely cause trouble with that playboy.
She didn't care which family Shao Shengping was from, but she cared about whether Shao Shengping was well-educated or not, and how bad he would become.
Lin Shu couldn't help but laugh, "You don't believe in the Brother Yao at all ah. Although he is a playful person, he has a few small tricks up his sleeve. Otherwise, how would White Horse Institute accept him? I believe that as long as Brother Yao is willing to humbly learn, his future accomplishments will definitely not be any smaller than that of County Prince Palace's County Prince. "
After all, in his previous life, Yao was only a student at Yangzhou, and when she died, he was already at the fifth rank.
Just as she finished her sentence, Yao Yao walked in, clapping his hands, "Cousin is right …" Aunt, you too, all the other people have their elbows on the inside, but you have yours on the outside, why do you think I am not as good as the County Prince? I have also seen the articles written by the County Prince s of the Duke Chengan Palace.
Madam Lian only laughed, "Then how is it compared to yours?"
"I …" Yao Yao's embarrassment flashed across his face as he hurriedly said, "Aunt, on the way back, I bought some new pastries from Ru Yi Zhai. There was a piece of chestnut cake that they had recently made, so I specially bought it for you and my cousin. You quickly eat it while it's still warm."
"Speaking of proper business, you are unorthodox. Although you are smart, you have to put your heart into everything, your parents are counting on you to become an official in the imperial court, to bring honor to our Lian Family …" Before Madam Lian could even finish her words, a piece of cake was stuffed into his mouth along with Yao Yao. He could only shake her head and unclearly say: "You, you, what am I supposed to say!"
The unhappiness in Lin Shu's heart disappeared a little, seeing that even Yao Yao was starting to eat his pastries, how could his cousin brother be as arrogant as when he had just entered the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion? On the contrary, he was extremely familiar with everyone in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion.
Madam Lian ate a few pieces of cake and went down to look at the account books.
Even Yao Yao dismissed the maidservants in the room with the excuse that he needed to drink some tea. He pulled back the joke on his face and asked seriously, "What exactly happened just now?" Why did the Princess Changze have to slap you? "
Thinking that Madam Lian had never treated her nephew as an outsider, Lin Shu didn't hide it from her and told her the whole story.
Hearing these words, even the tea Gu lying on the table fell to the ground in anger as he coldly said, "This is simply going too far. Is there no one who's bullying our Lian Family? "No, I have to find that beast and ask him!"
Lin Shu anxiously stopped him, "Do you think this whole matter is not messy enough? If I knew your reaction would be like this, I wouldn't have told you. What's the use of you going to look for him? What's the use of killing him … If it's really useful, I will definitely kill him first! "
At the end of his words, he had already revealed a hint of hatred.
"Sister Shu …" This was the first time Yao Yao saw Lin Shu like this, he could not help but say: "My father had long felt that this marriage was unreliable, all these years he spent a lot of money to build a relationship with other nobles, although it was not of much use, but at least it will be of some help, don't worry, there's still me."
He extended his hand out to touch Lin Shu's furry little head, but after thinking about it, in the future, he would definitely have a long time.
