Lin Shu laughed, and quickly replied, it seemed like she was extremely willing to stay by Empress Dowager Wang's side.

That day at the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, she had clearly said what she said. Could it be that this girl was stupid?

Lin Shu felt her measuring gaze and even smiled at her.

When they were waiting for Lin Shu to leave the palace, Empress Dowager Wang even gifted them with quite a few things for Grand Madam to bring back. There was the imperial kitchens to eat, and the fresh ingredients that were offered below were so full that three or four people couldn't even hold them. Empress Dowager Wang even sent the aunt in charge of the Tzu Ning Palace to send Grand Madam and Lin Shu to the palace gate.

This was a rare honor!

Now that the Empress Dowager Wang had held Grand Madam in high regard, the joy in her heart became more and more unbearable. He only felt that it was because the Princess Changze had said something in front of the Empress Dowager Wang that the Empress Dowager Wang had underestimated Lin Shu.

In fact, she never thought that after living to such an age, even if the Princess Changze praised and praised Lin Shu in front of her, she would still not be able to treat Lin Shu well.

The Grand Madam was happy, but Lin Shu was not happy at all. After exiting the palace, he got on the horse carriage and was about to talk to the Grand Madam, but who knew that the Grand Madam would fall asleep on his Cloud Jin cushions.

This attitude was enough to explain everything.

Seeing that, Lin Shu laughed bitterly, but did not say anything, she only thought about how she would talk to her mother about this after she returned home.

His mother would definitely not agree to it, but so what if she didn't? The Empress Dowager Wang had already spoken, how could there still be any room for change …

"It's your fortune to be able to stay by Esteemed Empress Dowager's side. You should know that although Esteemed Empress Dowager is the emperor's birth mother, she's been raised by a rearing mama ever since the emperor's full moon. In actuality, the empress dowager only has a single Princess Changze by her side. You're not a noble, and you're neither strong nor weak. It won't be too simple for you to find a good marriage in the future.

If a normal ten year old girl had heard of the possibility of marrying a prince, she would already be so happy that she wouldn't even know what would happen.

However, Lin Shu raised her eyelids and looked at Grand Madam, and spoke while pausing after each word: "Grandmother is right, but there is only one thing, to be able to become an outstanding person, to enjoy wealth and prosperity is naturally good, but the prerequisite is that one must be alive first. Grandmother knows more clearly than anyone why Princess Changze has summoned me into the palace so urgently, and it's all for the sake of holding onto my mother. I understand this logic too, I think Grandmother understands it better. "

Grand Madam only looked at her. Without saying a word, his displeasure was already apparent in his eyes.

Lin Shu did not mind, and laughed sarcastically: "That day when I half knelt in front of Grandmother's bed, I still remember every single word that Grandmother said, but have you forgotten about his now? It's not a lie that Princess Changze was born in the royal family, it's just that Grandmother, you can touch your own conscience and say a few words, all these years Mother has been keeping the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion organized and orderly. "Even if she occasionally disobeys you, when has she not taken the initiative to pay respects to you …"

As she spoke, her voice also gradually became softer, "You have always been a guest outside, you know Princess Changze's methods much better than me, I'm afraid she wants my mother's life this time!"

With things having progressed to this point, she no longer dared to ask Grand Madam to help her. However, during critical moments, it was good for Grand Madam to appear and speak up for her mother.

"I remember what I promised you that day, but you must know that I am not only your grandmother, and not only your mother's mother-in-law either. I am a Grand Madam of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, so I should always take Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion as the first step in everything. Do I have to be happy when this old woman dies? Or do you need to divide the five rooms before you are satisfied? "

"You saw what happened just now. Tell me, how can I not agree?" Sister Shu, you are a smart child. You know what to do to yourself, to your mother, and to your Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion. " In other words, she had already tacitly agreed to what Princess Changze did.

Lin Shu did not know what to say, what to say?

In her previous life, even until the time she got married, her relationship with Grand Madam had never reached this extent. Although Grand Madam was angry at her for plotting against Shao Shengping and getting herself a marriage, it was still a good match for her.

It didn't matter if he was sincere or not. In the end, he didn't fall out with the other party.

Now, no matter how smooth the situation was, Lin Shu felt that she would not face the Grand Madam like before. She smiled and said: "I understand Grandmother's words." but she did not say that she would do it according to what Grand Madam had imagined.

It was obviously snowing even harder now, but the carriage to Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion seemed to be travelling a little faster. Before Lin Shu could think of how to talk about it to her mother, the carriage slowly stopped right in front of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion's entrance.

After Lin Shu bid farewell to the Grand Madam, she went straight to the Fanghua Garden.

There was already a Maid waiting at the Fanghua Garden entrance. When he saw her figure, he immediately rushed in and said with a stack of words: "Madam, Madam, Fourth Miss has returned. Fourth Miss has returned safely."

Just as Lin Shu walked into the courtyard, she saw his mother anxiously walking over. Holding her hand, she said: "Sister Shu, you are finally back."

Since his mother wanted a housekeeper, she was normally calm and collected in front of the servants, but now that she had spoken, not only was there joy in her voice, but also a slight tremble, causing Lin Shu's heart to ache, "It's cold outside, Mother, let's talk inside!"

The inside of the house had long been burnt into a cage, it was very warm. Lin Shu could not bear to look at his mother's eyes, so she could only lower her head and say what Empress Dowager Wang had said to praise her, causing his mother to laugh along.

However, in the end, when the news of her entering the palace and not knowing when she would return came out, there was no sound in the room for a long time.

Lin Shu raised her head, his mother's eyes turning red, "I knew it, I knew it, that bitch wouldn't let it go so easily, you entered the palace by yourself, isn't that just like a wolf entering the mouth of a tiger? "I'm afraid that when the time comes, that bitch will eat her up to the point where she won't even have any bones left."

After thinking for a while, he said: "Sister Shu, you can't enter the palace, so don't go back to the Linglong Pavilion for the next few days. Let's take this opportunity when no one is paying attention to us, even if we don't go back to the Lian Family, it's still better than going to the Imperial Palace."

Lin Shu grabbed her hand and said softly: "Mother, you're talking nonsense again. We are from the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, why should we give room for others? Besides, where else can we go? "I'm afraid that before we even leave the capital, someone is already looking for trouble with uncle. Don't worry, I'm not a child. I will take good care of myself."

"I entered the palace, but I was worried about you. I was afraid that the Princess Changze would take this opportunity to force you to do something stupid, what should I do? We have agreed that no matter what others say to you and to me, we can't trust them. Once we get into a mess, others will have an opportunity to take advantage of us! "

The Madam Lian was still hesitating, feeling that she shouldn't call her own Sister Shu into the palace.

Lin Shu could only kindly advise.

At the same time, the news of Lin Shu being raised in the Tzu Ning Palace seemed to have exploded in the entire Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion. The main house was only a little stunned, but the Second Madam would not be able to sleep at ease with this news.

After Lin Qian received the news, she hurriedly went to the Second Madam and asked: "... What was going on with Mother? Didn't Princess Changze just give Lin Shu a slap? Why would the empress dowager raise Lin Shu within the Tzu Ning Palace today? "

Initially, she relied on her outer sect's Jiang Family, feeling that she was superior to Lin Shu in every aspect, but from today onwards, she would not be able to raise her head in front of Lin Shu. If she waited for Lin Shu to enter into the eyes of the Empress Dowager Wang, and be conferred the title of County Lord by the Empress Dowager Wang, then wouldn't the gap between the two of them be even larger?

"I also thought that something was wrong." Second Madam frowned, he thought for a long time, but was unable to figure out what exactly was wrong, now he muttered: "Previously, I was afraid that Princess Changze might be implicated with us because of our detest of Lin Shu, so I intentionally found him to come to our doorstep at the King Rui Palace to ask him about it, but Princess Changze was different from asking me about it. She even asked me about what was going on in the Madam Lian, and I only thought that Princess Changze seeing my dead second sister, there were some things that he couldn't say in front of me, so I picked on some trivial matters regarding Madam Lian … Nothing seemed to be amiss, how did things turn out like this? "

Lin Qian was also very anxious, even if the Empress Dowager Wang wanted to pick a girl from there, logically speaking, he should be the one to get rid of Lin Hui, why did he call his Lin Shu instead?

Second Madam thought for a moment, then shook his head: "At that time, Princess Changze asked about Madam Lian's character, I said that Madam Lian is a strong and weak person, to be able to control Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion at such a young age, there must be someone who isn't afraid of your grandmother, but no one isn't afraid of Madam Lian."

"Just one point, Madam Lian was in so much pain that her eyes were like eyeballs, and she seemed to be two different people in front of Lin Shu. knew that his daughter was at fault when Lin Shu caused so much harm to Lin Lian, yet he still fought to be in front of your grandmother … "I didn't say anything else after that. Princess Changze said that he wanted to enter the palace to serve Esteemed Empress Dowager, so I came back. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problems with those words."
