Even though Second Madam had a meticulous personality, he still could not figure out what was wrong.
Lin Qian also frowned: "Everything is fine, why are you so interested in the matter of the fifth room? Judging by the status and identity of the Princess Changze, they don't need to curry favor with anyone anymore, not to mention that she and Fifth Aunt haven't even met each other before … "
The bystanders were all aware of this logic!
Second Madam nodded as she felt a headache coming. She did not mind Lin Shu being raised to his brother's side, since Lin Shu was Sister Qian's cousin after all. When this matter spread, her face lit up … She just didn't like the feeling of being kept in the dark, as if everything was out of her control.
Lin Shu actually didn't refute anything. Originally, she wanted to tell Lin Shu a few things about him going to Tzu Ning Palace to be obedient and not cause trouble, but after saying that, the moment she looked into Lin Shu's cold eyes, she was unable to say anything.
Thus, Lin Pei did not say anything.
Lin Shu also borrowed the reason why she had to enter the palace to accompany Madam Lian all day, and even went to the extent of not paying respects to Grand Madam anymore. It was rare for Grand Madam to be kind to her, she only said that she had to busy herself and pack up, and did not need to pay her respects.
Lin Shu was so happy that she acted like a shopkeeper, accompanying Madam Lian and comforting him everyday. She even told the hibiscus and peony by Madam Lian's side that if anything really happened and the Fifth Madam was in a mess, they must not panic. If the Fanghua Garden were to be in a mess, they might not be too far away from Princess Changze's door.
Peony and Hibiscus naturally nodded heavily, and said that they would not disappoint Fourth Miss's orders.
After two days, Madam Lian had also gradually accepted the fact that Lin Shu was about to enter the palace. However, whenever this matter was mentioned, her eyes would fill up with tears, and it did not decrease in the slightest from her usual straightforward manner. "When you get to the palace, you have to be careful not to say anything. Don't go to that place with fewer people and be careful not to use tricks by that slut. As for Esteemed Empress Dowager, you don't have to be wronged in trying to please her yourself. It's your duty to do your job. If Esteemed Empress Dowager really can turn her back against you, then letting you go back to the palace would be the best thing to do."
"Also, you will need to bring a few caring maids into the palace this time. Although there are no lack of people in the Tzu Ning Palace, who knows if the Princess Changze set those people up beside you. "I think it would be better to let Peony and Hibiscus follow you to the palace. They have been by my side for quite some time, and they are the most sincere …"
Lin Shu, who was in the middle of choosing fox skin, hurriedly said: "It's better if I don't. Big Sister Peony and Big Sister Furong have been by your side for so many years, you're already used to it. Furthermore, you have used them all, so I have not used them all yet. However, I feel that the Actinin Qin you called me for was not bad.
"If you really ask elder sister Peony and elder sister Furong to follow me into the palace, be careful that someone whispers something in the empress dowager's ear. They only say that our family isn't at ease with me entering the palace and they've sent two powerful maidservants after me. No matter how dangerous it is in the palace, as long as I remember 'be careful', there won't be any mistakes."
"I know you have an idea, but I'm afraid it's not enough for you to only bring Actinin Qin to the palace, right?" Madam Lian looked at Lin Shu, not knowing when, but her round face had a sharp chin. "Why don't we call for Peony to follow you into the palace …"
Lin Shu chose two pieces of high quality fox skin before she smiled and said, "I will choose these two pieces. If I make the cloak, it will be nice and warm."
I don't want elder sister Peony to follow me into the palace. Since she's in the palace, I won't be able to relax you, in my opinion, why don't I bring Yun Dou into the palace? Maid has been like a chatterbox all day, even keeping his by my side will help me relieve my boredom. There are too many smart people in this palace. There are two interesting ones, and they are also very interesting. "
Madam Lian could only smile and say, "Oh you, what should I say … … "Originally, I didn't want you to grow up and marry when you grow up. It was difficult for me to even meet you once, but now, I can't wait for you to grow up overnight and protect yourself properly. I'm so worried for you."
Lin Shu's eyes became sore, "Don't worry, when I come back to see you, I'll definitely be white and fat, and you'll have to grow fatter as well."
Madam Lian had thrown away all the trivial matters of the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion during this period of time. The mother and daughter pair huddled together and chatted all day. Sometimes, when they talked, the two of them would laugh out loud, but sometimes, when they talked, their eyes would be filled with tears.
It was not only the Madam Lian who was reluctant to part with Lin Shu, Lin Hui had also been running towards the Fanghua Garden all day.
Tomorrow is the day when Lin Shu is about to enter the palace, and Lin Hui had even rested inside her Linglong Pavilion the night before. As the two little girls were lying on the bed, it was obvious that they had endless words to say to each other, but today, they were sighing out loud one after another.
Especially Lin Hui; she had cried who knows how many times over the past few days, and now she was sobbing, "... I don't know when I'll be able to see you again, but when I want to talk to someone in the future, I don't know who I'll be looking for. Originally, when you were at the mansion, you didn't think too much about it, but after walking for fifteen minutes, you should be able to see them. But since you're going to enter the palace tomorrow, I feel like crying when I think about it.
When Lin Shu heard it, she laughed, "Don't worry, it's already almost November, and I will definitely be back by New Year's Eve. I am not a royal relative, how can I celebrate New Year in the palace? Don't be bored, didn't we give you all the white foxes Brother Yao brought back? You can just tease them when you're bored. "
"Speaking of those little white foxes," Lin Hui said as her tears turned into smiles, "You don't know how smart those little foxes are. Every time I go to see them, they seem to recognize me. When these little white foxes grow into little white foxes, then I will have a house full of white foxes. "
Lin Shu also laughed along, "Didn't First Aunt dislike these things the most? A few days ago, I heard that First Aunt was going to throw out those few little white foxes.
"If my mother were to throw those white foxes out, I … I won't eat anymore, how can my mother not agree?" Moreover, these white foxes are not under the care of the maids and wives, why would I need to do it myself? That's why my mother agreed to keep those white foxes in the backyard! " Lin Hui's tone carried a little pride, as if she had done something worthy of praise.
However, the smile on Lin Shu's face gradually disappeared. After hesitating for a long time, she said: "Third sister, I remember that when you were young you were scratched by the Lovers Cat that my grandmother raised, and after that you were extremely afraid of those furry animals. Big sister even brought you a Beijing dog one time, but you didn't even dare to touch it. "That thing might be cute, but it's also sharp-tongued. Even I feel a little scared when I look at it …"
"I-that was when I was a kid. I'm no longer afraid of these furry things." Lin Hui interrupted her words as if she was trying to defend herself. She was so anxious that he sat up straight, "What's more, didn't you say that those white foxes were cute too? Why did you ask such a question? "
The more she panicked, the more Lin Shu felt that her guess was right. Right now, after she had finished speaking, she sighed and said: "Third Sister, tell me the truth, do you like Brother Yao?"
"I …" Lin Hui choked.
Lin Shu also sat up and whispered, "Third sister, tell me the truth, is it true or not!?"
I only know that when he's in the manor, even if I don't see him, I would be happy. If I could see him once, I would be happy for the entire day, even more so; when he goes to the White Horse Institute, I would often think about what he's doing at this time, and if he's changed, I'll miss the fact that the servant next to him doesn't remember him putting on clothes, and he won't catch a cold. "
"If I see him speaking a few more words with Second Sister, Lian Jieer, or you, I would be unhappy for the entire day and be secretly angry at him. But after he speaks to me, everything will be gone, and I still remember what he said after knowing that you gave me those white foxes, saying that you gave me this white fox was just nice, but I was just as cunning as the white fox. Sister Shu, do you think he is praising me? "
It's over! It's all over!
Lin Shu thought, "I don't know if Brother Yao is praising you, but third sister, you and Brother Yao are impossible … You are the direct descendant of the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion and big sister is the daughter-in-law of the First Princess Pingning. With your identity, it is not impossible for you to be married to a royal family member … "
"I know, I know! However, life always has to be passed by oneself before you know, do you think that my sister really married very well? Even though she is the daughter-in-law of Princess Ping Ning, her status is very pleasing to the ears, but First Princess Pingning's personality is very cunning, you guys don't know that when she was first married, her body turned green and blue, First Princess Pingning often vented her anger on my sister, who, to outsiders, can only praise this mother-in-law, but she cried like that in front of my mother and me. " Lin Hui's expression was resolute, as she enunciated word by word: "At that time, I already knew that whatever sect's status, status, and position were all empty; it would only be true if one lived a good life."
