Even First Madam and Second Madam smelled that something was wrong and took advantage of the situation to not send Lin Shu and her mother out.
After all, tomorrow was New Year's Eve, and even if they really wanted to recuperate, they would have to wait until the first month of January to leave. Furthermore, Madam Lian was sick earlier, so the mother and daughter did not seem to be rushing to recuperate. She seemed to be running for her life.
On the other hand, Lin Hui held onto Lin Shu's hand and sobbed, "... When you first entered the palace, I even cried for a while, but then my mother said that I would be able to see you again when the New Year came, so I wasn't that sad. But now that you've moved to the manor, I don't know when you'll be able to return … In the future, what if I want you to do it in the future? "
Lin Shu took the handkerchief that Actinin Qin had brought over and wiped away the tears on her face. She smiled and said: "This manor is not too far away, it only takes me three or four days to come here. If you miss me, you can go and take a look at the manor, and I will also bring you to take a look. I heard that there's a small hot spring pool on the manor.
After saying that, she lowered her voice and said, "When the time comes, there will be no elders in the manor. We can play however we want."
Although she said that, she knew that no matter if it was Grand Madam or herself, neither of them would agree to let Lin Hui go to the villa.
However, when Lin Hui heard this, he was extremely happy. She hugged Lin Shu and walked toward the main entrance, "Really? "I heard from someone that we can catch many wild rabbits and sparrows in the manor during the winter. When that time comes, let's give it a try as well …"
Speaking of happy things, the two of them happily went to the main gate, waiting for Lin Shu to get on the carriage, Lin Hui's eyes turned red again, waiting for the carriage to travel far away, only then did she leave.
In truth, Lin Shu was also unwilling to part with Lin Hui, since she was her best sister in this life. But after thinking about it, if she had left the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, then even if there was Yao, she would not return to the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, and might be able to cut off any thoughts that Lin Hui should not have, and this was also good for Lin Hui.
Not only were all kinds of fruit trees planted nearby, the manager inside had even sent a team of guards over from's Yangzhou. He had also sent a team of guards over from the Yangzhou, and the group of fifty to sixty people, were all practitioners, all because they were afraid that the Princess Changze would make a move.
In the manor, Lin Shu slept naturally as shshewoke up. When she had free time, he would embroider flowers to practice her character, and accompany her mother for a walk on the mountain to pick up wild fruits. Sometimes, she would watch the farmers work on the mountain and watch the flowers bloom and fall down like the clouds.
Three years had passed extremely quickly. This was the happiest three years in Lin Shu's two lifetimes.
It was a pity that happy days were always fleeting. On this day, Lin Shu was taking a nap in her study when Actinin Qin rushed in, "Miss, Miss, it's bad, Nanny Chen is here to pick you up to go with you … Fifth Madam is currently blocking at the side chamber side, and looking at Nanny Chen's posture, I'm afraid she will not be able to stop us any time soon. "
In terms of eloquence, the ten Madam Lian s could not even compare to one Nanny Chen. Furthermore, Nanny Chen was an elder who had served Grand Madam for most of her life, so it would be inconvenient for him to act like a master in front of her.
"What are you panicking for?" Lin Shu leisurely put on her shoes before heading to the side chamber. It had only been three years since she last saw Grand Madam, but the Nanny Chen beside him seemed to have aged quite a bit.
Nanny Chen blessed Lin Shu with her body and said with a smile, "It's been three years since we last met, so Fourth Miss is looking even better now."
Lin Shu turned her body, and only received half a bow from her, "Thank you Nanny Chen for your praise, but I wonder why Nanny Chen is here?"
These three years, Madam Lian was raised on the villa and was only focused on recuperating, but she had become a lot fatter. She did not even care about the matters in the manor anymore, and did not know how to deal with the cunning Nanny Chen.
The Nanny Chen laughed, then said: "A few days ago, you wrote home to tell Grand Madam that Fifth Madam's body is almost fully nurtured. At that time, Grand Madam wanted to bring the Fifth Madam back with you, saying that you and Fifth Madam are the masters of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, where is the logic of suffering outside? Isn't this the decision made by the Second Miss to get married? They are going to get married next spring.
Her words were watertight, but Lin Shu felt that the Grand Madam was not that kind. Following the Grand Madam's personality, if she did not take the initiative to go back, the Grand Madam might not even invite her back, "Second Sister is engaged? Which clan's young master is it? "
Nanny Chen said: "It is Mrs. Jiang who has stepped out. It is who has selected the Duke Andong s of Duke Andong Palace."
In her previous life, Lin Qian's husband was also a County Prince from the Duke Andong Palace. Although the Duke Andong Palace was a noble family, it was just like the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, there were no exceptional people from the children. In the end, the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion was still the branch of the Lin Pei family, but the Duke Andong Palace did not even have a single junior high school child, let alone the honest and honest Duke Andong, how could Lin Qian fancy them?
Lin Shu nodded her head, and laughed: "It's a good marriage."
"Who said it wasn't? Grand Madam only said that ever since Eldest Wife and Auntie Zhong gave birth to their sons two years ago, there have been no happy events in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, and now that the marriage for Second Miss has been decided, it will be Third Miss and you. The corner of Nanny Chen's mouth held a smile, as if Lin Shu had never made a ruckus with the Grand Madam before.
Previously, Madam Lian did not need to worry much in the manor, it was merely two years and already recovered greatly. Now, she had become a lot fatter, but every time Lin Shu would write a letter to him, and the previous letter would only say that Madam Lian's illness had improved by about seventy to eighty percent, so why did it become so serious in Nanny Chen's mouth?
However, now was not the time to care about these matters!
Lin Shu looked troubled as she said softly, "It's just mother's body …"
Madam Lian did not say anything from the side. In the past three years, Lin Shu had managed the entire villa in a neat and orderly manner. She naturally believed that her daughter would be able to take care of all this.
The Nanny Chen laughed. "This servant sees that Fifth Madam's expression is very good, and won't make any mistakes. Furthermore, when the Fifth Madam returns to the capital, I can ask the imperial physician to take a look at his pulse, don't you think so?"
"A few days ago, I received a letter from Grand Madam. He said that First Princess Pingning was about to return with Eldest Aunt from the Forin, and that Eldest Young Master would be working in the capital in the future, and that Grand Madam only said that this family was going to get along with the beautiful ones …"
Lin Shu was a little hesitant. How could she not know that staying in the Villa was the safest option? But she was like a turtle who had cowered in the Villa and could stay for a year, two years, three years … It was not that she did not know her mother's thoughts, she only wanted her to marry into the Lian Family.
What would happen to his mother after he married her? Could it be that he would be able to stay in the manor for the rest of his life? Perhaps it was time for her to go back to the capital and sweep away all the obstacles in front of her mother, "Grandmother's words, I already know. Mother and I will naturally go back, but we do not know when it will be better.
Her attitude was much softer than Nanny Chen, who replied and left.
On the other hand, Madam Lian couldn't help but frown, "Sister Shu, are you planning to go back?"
Lin Shu nodded her head, "Even if it's hot in the capital, we cannot hide here forever. There will be a day that we will be able to go back, and if Nanny Chen comes to invite us, we might be able to get away with it, but if Grandmother comes personally next time, will we be able to? "Besides, everyone in the capital knows that Grandmother is old and has a bad body. I'm afraid that she won't live for many years. We can't just let others poke our backs, can we?"
Madam Lian's mouth moved, but when the words reached her mouth, she did not know how to say it. She could not say that even Yao was a scholar, so in the future he would definitely have an official body. She had tried to test him out several times, but he had always bypassed her.
He only took one day of rest each month for the White Horse Institute, but there had never been a single month where Yao did not come to the manor. He knew that the Sister Shu was greedy for food, so every time he would bring a pile of delicious food, without a single shred of impatience.
Where could he find such a good son-in-law?
Thinking till here, the Madam Lian only shook her head, "Forget it, just go ahead and do whatever you want … After Princess Changze married into the Wang Family, she seemed to have changed into a different person. Not only did she not send anyone to the manor to kill us, there was no news from the capital city at all.
It was just that under the heavens, not all women could endure as much as she did for the sake of his children. Furthermore, Princess Changze was not an ordinary girl, as long as she did not make a move, he was even more terrifying.
Lin Shu had an ominous premonition, but she only said: "No matter what, we should be careful when we reach the capital."
Thus, Lin Shu pondered for a night, and handed the words to Nanny Chen, saying that she was waiting for the middle of April, the weather was hot, and the journey from the village to the capital was not too far, but if it was hot, travelling would be difficult.
Now that it was already the early hours of April, Nanny Chen was naturally very happy to hear this. She only said that she would be able to look after Lin Shu when she was on the road, but in reality, Lin Shu knew in her heart that she was afraid that she would go back on her words.
In the few days left in the manor, Lin Shu faintly felt that the situation in the capital was much more dangerous than before.
