C98

After Lin Shu finished biting the string of candied fruits in her hand, the carriage slowly stopped at the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion gate.

Even Yao did not follow him in, and Lian Family bought the three small courtyards outside for him. Now, even Yao would occasionally come to Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion to take a look at Madam Lian and Lin Shu when she was resting, and would return to the courtyard to rest at night.

However, White Horse Institute's courses were tight, so the courtyard was mostly empty.

Lin Shu brought Actinin Qin and the others back to the residence, it was just that she never expected to see Lin Geer at the Linglong Pavilion entrance.

Right now, he was standing at the door, as if he could be blown away by a gust of wind. It was already the beginning of summer, Sister Pearl had already put on his smock, but he was still wearing his thin jacket.

It was said that he had to cover the autumn ice in the spring, but it wasn't like that either.

Lin Youlin was still shy. After his wet nurse had taught him a few times, he finally called out to her like a cat, "Sister."

Lin Shu smiled and ordered her wet nurse to bring him in, and even ordered Yun Dou to grab a handful of roses for him to eat. Looking at him eat, with her mouth full of rose juice, she laughed: "Is there anything Lin Geer wants to see me about?"

Lin Youlin timidly glanced at his wet nurse, who explained, "Isn't there something Seventh Young Master needs to tell Fourth Miss?"

"Sister, I'd like to go out with you to play …" Lin Youlin said hesitantly.

Immediately, the smile on Lin Shu's lips congealed. She's not even two years old yet, how could she say such words? There must be someone behind him, but why did Auntie Zhong keep bringing this up again and again?

To scheme against him? A child shouldn't be able to...

Lin Shu's gaze landed on Lin You Lin's skinny face again, but all of his attention was focused on the rose candy, as though she had never eaten it before, she was eating it wholeheartedly, and even licking her finger.

The wet nurse hurried forward to stop him. "Seventh Young Master, your hands are dirty, you can't eat them."

In the end, she smiled at Lin Shu and said: "Auntie Zhong said, Seventh Young Master's health has been poor since young, and he can't eat much food. Things like a nest of candy, which you can't even touch, you don't know how many times you eat them.

Lin Shu laughed, and did not say anything, and only ordered Yun Dou to bring a box of rose candy, then laughed: "Auntie Zhong's words are reasonable, this candy is indeed not something that can be eaten more, but normally eating it is nothing, see how greedy Lin Geer is? In the future, when he wants to eat candy, you can tell him that if she is willing to obediently eat every meal in the future, she will be given a lollipop every day. Sometimes, you can't just blindly punish him, you have to reward him.

The wet nurse took the box of sugar and agreed, but thought that she would tell the Auntie Zhong about it when she got back.

Lin Shu nodded her head, and said: "I will bring Lin Geer with me, I still have some matters to attend to here."

In the end, Fourth Miss still did not let up and wanted Seventh Young Master to follow him to the Duke Andong Palace in a few days' time!

The wet nurse did not dare to go down.

However, Lin Shu acted as if she didn't understand, she only sent Yun Dou to send her off. Once Yun Dou went down, she said, "Go and invite Auntie Zhong over!"

She really didn't like the feeling of being kept in the dark.

After thinking for a moment, she glanced at Yun Dou who was just about to leave, "Forget it, it's better that we don't invite them in. We're only instructing people to pay more attention to the movements in the Falling Swallow Garden to see if there's anything wrong."

Even if they really did bring Auntie Zhong here, she was afraid that the Auntie Zhong would say that Lin Youlin wanted to go out to play, would she be able to find Lin Xianglin and confront him?

She was not afraid that the Auntie Zhong would bring this matter to the Grand Madam. The Grand Madam was not stupid, there was no logic that an aunt could go beyond the female patriarch.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the Duke Andong Palace's peony feast had arrived.

Since Lin Qian was already a County Prince of the Duke Andong Palace and their marriage, naturally, she could not go. As for the Second Madam, she had long agreed that she would bring a few ladies with her as well. After all, if the Grand Madam went, she could also let the people of the Duke Andong Palace see that her Sister Qian was greatly doted on by the Grand Madam.

Only, who would have thought that Grand Madam would have such a terrible headache this morning? Even if Second Madam wanted to give his daughter a strong face, it wouldn't be hard to force him to do so.

But when Second Madam said he wanted Grand Madam to rest well, Lin Shu could clearly see that her expression was not good.

In her previous life, Lin Shu had visited the Duke Andong Palace several times. This palace could not be considered a peaceful place, there were many concubines in the Duke Andong Palace, and a large number of concubines there. None of them were easy to deal with, as the Duke Andong’s wife was also a powerful character, in his previous life, the two of them had often caused a ruckus.

Fortunately, Duke Andong s protected Lin Qian.

Waiting for Lin Shu and Lin Hui to get off the carriage arm in arm, they watched as a capable Steward Nanny came out to welcome them, "The two madam finally came, my wife is accompanying the various wives, she has sent servants to wait for you at the door since early in the morning!"

Only now did Second Madam have a faint smile on his face.

However, Steward Nanny's gaze did not stop at the back. Seeing that no one was coming down from the carriage, she looked disappointed.

The mother supported Second Madam and headed towards the Flower Hall.

The Second Madam acted like he was his wife, "Are all the wives here? Which family did your wife invite today? "

My wife said that she had invited her close friends over for a peony feast, and only invited the Duke Chengan's Madam and Madam Jiang Family's few wives. Originally, she had also invited the Mrs. Guo, but it was just that in the past few days, something had happened at the Guo Family, and yesterday, she specifically sent a message saying that she couldn't make it here. The Steward Nanny carefully supported the Second Madam, but at the end, she seemed to have thought of something, "There's also the Princess Changze, he said that the Princess Changze would also show us some rewards."

Immediately, Lin Shu felt a lot of gazes converging towards him, and then she heard Second Madam's voice, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Princess Changze for quite a while, I wonder if Princess Changze brought Chun Geer over this time, a little kid, who looks like a ball of meat, I really want to pinch him when I see him …"

Meatball?

Lin Shu frowned. Initially, when she was at the Tzu Ning Palace, the child in the Princess Changze's stomach could not be preserved any longer. Even if it was given a good rest later on, there was no possibility of it getting fat and white …

While deep in thought, he decided not to go to the Flower Hall. The Duke Andong’s wife welcomed them, "Yo, finally looking forward to meeting the two ladies."

One of them laughed and teased, "You even call me 'Madam'. I want to see if you're still so polite when you become my family in the future!"

Who else could this person be other than Grandma Zhangda? Beside her sat Zhang Yuanqing. After not seeing him for a few years, Zhang Yuanqing's appearance had become even more handsome.

Zhang Yuanqing stared at himself as he nodded slightly, his expression distant.

It was the same for everyone in the world.

Before Lin Shu went to the villa, Zhang Yuanqing had wished that he could send a letter to the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion in a few days. Waiting for her to be brought to the palace by the Empress Dowager Wang, and even get people to send some small gifts to the palace from time to time … However, when she went to the Manor, there was no news at all.

The Elder Zhang's Qing Zheng and Lian Ming were praised by everyone in the Daqing Dynasty, but they didn't expect that their granddaughter, the direct descendant, would actually know how to scheme against them.

Lin Shu nodded, and then greeted her.

Second Madam and Duke Andong’s wife chatted for a while before everyone started to talk about the major events that had happened in the capital city in the recent days. With regards to the matters of National Duke Ning Palace and Guo Family, it was not good for Grandma Zhangda to say much. Master Ningguogongfuda said that this young master was taking advantage of the good women on the streets, which was why he came to save them. However, this young master said that this young master was using National Duke Ning's influence to barge into the streets … "Who can be clear about this kind of thing? To be fair and reasonable, outsiders like us might not even be able to figure out what is going on."

Second Madam, who was peeling an almond, quickly agreed: "Who said I wasn't, let's not get involved anymore, whether it's the National Duke Ning Palace or Guo Family, none of them are normal people …"

Everyone laughed as they brought this matter up. They only talked about which girl had learnt a new embroidery technique, and what kind of clothes and accessories were popular in the capital recently …

Just as the conversation was getting heated, the Princess Changze walked in.

After three years of not seeing him, the Princess Changze's demeanor was still the same. However, the corners of his eyes seemed to have aged a bit.

When she passed by Lin Shu, Princess Changze shot her a glance.

Only Lin Shu did not focus too much on Princess Changze, but instead focused on the little child that was carried by the wet nurse behind him. This little child must be the Chun Geer that Second Madam spoke of a moment ago.

This child had a longevity lock around his neck, and a gold bracelet on his hand. He was made out of jade and jade, and he was indeed very adorable, but if one looked closely, they would see that his arm was bruised the size of a pigeon's egg.

Just by looking at the child's chubby face, Lin Shu couldn't help but be stunned.

Why does this child look like the Tang Geer who had already become foolish …

This child was originally Lin Pei's child, so it didn't matter if he was Tang Geer. Grand Madam also said that Tang Geer looked like Lin Pei with his eyebrows, but his mouth and nose looked like Auntie Zhong's … This child's appearance when pouting and eating the candy, looked exactly the same as when Tang Geer was eating …

The seed of doubt had long been planted in Lin Shu's heart, and now a bold idea had surfaced in her mind — — Could it be that Lin You Lin was the child of the Princess Changze, based on Lin Pei's character, would she tolerate her own blood and bones flowing within the Wang Family, and call others' father?
