Man Jing only said, "It's all because of the incident with the Princess Changze. After that incident with the Princess Changze, Esteemed Empress Dowager was very angry, the Princess Changze sent the Maid Du over a few times. Although Esteemed Empress Dowager didn't go over to the east wing, I can tell that Esteemed Empress Dowager has already forgiven the Princess Changze by looking at her expression.
"Yesterday, the Grand Madam sent someone to ask the empress dowager to take back the Fourth Miss's Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion. The empress dowager agreed, but later on, she seemed to recall something and specifically sent me over to tell the empress dowager not to speak carelessly. I'm afraid the empress dowager wants to cover up the child in the empress dowager's womb. "One is Esteemed Empress Dowager's nephew, the other one is someone on her side. Esteemed Empress Dowager will definitely suppress this matter."
Her voice was light and soft, as if she had a Bodhisattva's heart.
Lin Shu, however, understood the meaning behind her words. Even if Princess Changze did such an ugly thing, Empress Dowager Wang still dotes on her, which means that it would be hard to say if Princess Changze would lose his favor this time in front of Empress Dowager Wang …
Man Jing had already said what she needed to say, and what she shouldn't say, she still hadn't said a single word, but she had hidden the meaning behind her words.
After Lin Shu thanked him, she ordered Actinin Qin to personally send him out.
She didn't even have the time to think about it. She went straight back to the inner room and Hibiscus said, "…" Just now, Second Madam came over, and said that he wanted to take a look at Madam, but was stopped by a servant. "
Lin Shu nodded, "You did well." As matters stood, other than Lin Hui, she did not dare believe anyone else.
When she went to the inner room, Madam Lian was already awake. Seeing that she was still alright, she hugged her and cried.
Lin Shu only lightly patted her back and softly said: "Mother, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's all good, don't cry, just watch, I'm still fine …"
Her daughter had repeatedly reminded her not to fall for the trap set by the Princess Changze, but she still fell head first into it. She had almost caused the Sister Shu, who almost lost her mother, to lose her mother.
Lin Shu felt an unprecedented sense of relief and softly said, "Mother, how many letters did Princess Changze forge? Bring it to me! "
The Madam Lian did not understand, "What do you want these things for?"
"With these few letters, we can temporarily leave Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion." Lin Shu knew that the current Princess Changze was like a mad dog. He might come over at any time to bite the mother and daughter pair, but no one on the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion had the guts to stop the Princess Changze.
At this point, the best course of action was to avoid them.
Madam Lian ordered Peony to take out the five letters. This letter was locked in a small box by her, one look was enough to tell that it was usually treated like a treasure.
Lin Shu was not in a hurry to find the Grand Madam. She personally fed the Madam Lian a bowl of medicine and waited for him to fall asleep before he went back to the Green Pine Academy.
In front of other people, she had only said that it was because Madam Lian was sick, and the new year was nearing, that she had to help to manage He’s Mansion from top to bottom so she did not sleep well, and had even lied to First Madam. She had only said that if Madam Ye was not pregnant, she would definitely help Grand Madam.
But everyone in He’s Mansion knew that First Madam could sing poems and paint, but as for the butler, forget it.
Now, the Grand Madam saw Lin Shu walking in slowly, and her face darkened. Yesterday evening, Lin Shu did not pay respects to her, and did not even send a servant to speak with her.
After Lin Shu finished, she went straight to the point, "... "Today, I came to find Grandmother to tell her something. Mother is very ill right now, so I might as well move Mother to the village to recuperate. I will go take care of her and wait for her to recover before coming back to show filial piety."
But Grand Madam didn't seem to understand his words, his face looked kind and normal, "I'm afraid Sister Shu is confused because of your mother's illness. This daughter-in-law is sick, and is hurriedly sent to the villa, then who is our Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion? There was a lack of medicine in the manor. If there was really something wrong, could he make it in time? Tell me, your mother will be well nourished in Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion. Regardless of whether it's those hundred-year-old ginseng, or the imperial physician leading the palace, as long as you need it, you can just open your mouth. "
"What's more, the doctor also said that your mother will be in good health after three or four years …" I am also old, my body is useless, and I only wish that my children and grandchildren could stay by my side! "
"Granddaughter knows." Lin Shu's eyes flashed with a little sadness. Unless it was absolutely necessary, she did not want to get into a life and death situation with Grand Madam, "It's just that my mother wants to rest, I still feel that it's better if I go to the manor with you. At most, just bring two or three doctors along … "As the doctors from before have said, the prescriptions for the next few years are mostly for nourishment. There's no need for famous doctors to look at them."
The Grand Madam waved at Lin Shu, and even personally pulled Lin Shu by the hand, and said gently: "Are you willing to let the orphans and widows stay in the villa, to let this old woman rest easy?"
Lin Shu naturally knew what Grand Madam was thinking, it was nothing more than afraid of gossip spreading outside, and at that time, Princess Changze would be the first one to get unlucky, so Lin Pei and Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion would definitely be linked, "Grandmother, don't worry, I will definitely write you a safe letter every few days."
The expression on Grand Madam's face gradually turned cold, "Regarding this matter, have you all decided?"
Lin Shu nodded, "Yes, mother and I have already discussed this matter."
"If I don't agree?" The Grand Madam pretended to be carrying the tea Gu on the table and naturally let go of Lin Shu's hand. He took a sip of the tea and then said softly: "Do you have me in your eyes? Since ancient times, there has never been a reason for a wife to go to the Manor to recuperate. Even if there is, why would you need to go serve her? "
But she planned to have Lin Shu stay and threaten Madam Lian. This way, Madam Lian and Lin Shu wouldn't dare to say a single word.
had thought of these questions long ago, "The bystanders all thought that Mother was suffering from some serious illness, but as for the reason behind it all, no one knew it better than Grandmother. The reason why I wanted Mother to leave the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion together with me was not only to take care of Mother's illness, but also to protect my life."
"I know, Grandmother wanted to leave us in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion because she doesn't want us to speak any nonsense, but Grandmother had forgotten, Mother is Fifth Madam of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, and I am Fourth Miss of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion. Even if the matter really gets out of hand, what benefits do the reputation of Princess Changze and Father get for us?"
"Even if we still have Lian Family behind us, I still have the Lin Family's bloodline on me. When the matter gets out, everyone will just say that the Lin Family members are vicious and merciless, could it be that I am not a member of the Lin Family? As long as Mother and I can live on, I will definitely not reveal this secret. But if we were to stay in the capital, with Princess Changze's methods, who knows how long we could live? Then how would I care if my reputation was good to listen to? "
He was already shaming himself.
Grand Madam looked at the calmness in the little girl's eyes, and said after a while: "If you go to the villa, won't Princess Changze chase after you? Call me to speak, it's safer inside your Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion … "
"Is the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion safe? Is Grandmother joking with me? I'm afraid that the Princess Changze is here, and might even open the door for someone to try and please the Princess Changze! " Lin Shu acted as if she did not see the ashen look on Grand Madam's face, smiled, then said: "I came here today to inform Grandmother that in two days, when First Mother is slightly better, we will head to the Manor."
"If Grandmother doesn't agree, then I have no choice but to go to the palace and see Esteemed Empress Dowager. Even if the empress dowager dotes on the Princess Changze, once she knows that he's colluding with a married man and plotting against his mother, she probably won't try to protect him."
The Grand Madam only sneered. "You think Esteemed Empress Dowager will believe your words with just a few words?"
Lin Shu's voice was light and carried a sense of confidence of victory, "Then Grandmother, did you think that you would be tricked that day because of the Princess Changze's few words? Back then, I had even ordered the duke of Maid Du to be outside the Fanghua Garden, and that was personally witnessed by the Fanghua Garden Maid. As for the reason why Maid Du wanted to take advantage of Mother's death to coerce and coerce Peony to take out the letter, or to burn the Fanghua Garden in the chaos, I do not know, but now … This letter is in my hands. "
"When the time comes, these five letters will be delivered to Esteemed Empress Dowager. Esteemed Empress Dowager can investigate the palace maid and Internal Service who usually deliver the letters and search along the vines and vines. How could she not find out?" Wouldn't the truth be revealed then? When that time comes, our Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion will also suffer the same fate! "
Grand Madam looked straight into Lin Shu's eyes, wanting to find out some clues, but in the end she could not, "You are also a daughter of the Lin Family, what benefits do you have from doing this?"
"It won't do me any good, but Grandmother has never thought about it. If I stay in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, I won't even be able to protect my mother, what good would it do?" If she was a Grand Madam, she would definitely agree to it openly. Now that he had said it, he would leave it as a chance to meet her in the future, "If this matter were to spread, mother would definitely leave me alone. Lian Family cannot be compared to Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, but it can guarantee our mother and daughter would not need to worry about food and clothing."
After saying that, she did not bother to look at Grand Madam's ugly expression and went straight down.
There was no way to reverse the situation!
It was New Year's Eve tomorrow when Lin Shu and the Madam Lian left the capital. However, Lin Shu still brought the Madam Lian out of the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, as she had expected. Whether it was the Grand Madam or Lin Pei, they both did not come out to stop them, but they did not come out to send them off.
