With this thought, Lin Shu's gaze never left the child's face.
The more she looked at him, the more he felt that something was amiss. Logically speaking, Princess Changze was only twenty years old and did not have any relationship with Wang Pei, but this child was his only consolation.
Not to mention that Princess Changze also had a long fingernail, which was dyed with the bright red color of Danish. It was obvious from one look that he didn't usually hug a child …
Suddenly, the child accidentally broke free from the wet nurse's embrace and kowtowed to the teacher on the chair. He started crying but Princess Changze didn't even raise his eyes.
Children always liked to cry, and now that the parlour was noisy, the child could not stop crying. The wet nurse carefully coaxed him for a while, but was unable to coax him.
Princess Changze even frowned, not knowing what he had said to the wet nurse, but the wet nurse just carried the child and left … Immediately, the doubt in Lin Shu's mind turned into ten.
Where in the world did such a heartless mother exist? If that was the case, she could understand why the Auntie Zhong had repeatedly requested for Lin You Ting to follow them to the Duke Andong Palace. It was probably because the Princess Changze wanted to meet her biological son …
Princess Changze's expression was still calm and indifferent.
Even if she had married into the Wang Family at a low age, she was still a dignified princess of the Daqing Dynasty. She could have come or not come to this Duke Andong’s wife's banquet, she had originally known that Lin Shu was coming for her, but she had decided not to come. When she thought of Lin Shu, it was as if she had eaten a fly.
If it wasn't to see how the Lin Geer was doing at the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, where would she have come from? In these few days, when she dreamed of Lin Shu wanting to kill her Lin Geer, she was so scared that she often woke up in the middle of the night.
When he thought about the letter that Auntie Zhong had previously given him, it only said that Lin Shu would stop him, and even if this matter were to happen in front of Grand Madam, Grand Madam would definitely not loosen up on it for his sake, but Auntie Zhong still said that she would do her best to do it …
Princess Changze's hand which was hidden inside his sleeves could not help but shrink into a fist.
Lin Shu, it's Lin Shu again!
She wanted to see how many days Lin Shu could continue acting so arrogantly! Even if Grand Madam rejected him, but what temper did First Princess Pingning have? Heh, as long as it's something that First Princess Pingning has decided on, there's no room for negotiation. Furthermore, isn't there still Empress Dowager Wang helping by the side?
As such, the gaze she used to look at Lin Shu was somewhat cold.
That day, when Lin Shu had schemed against her, she had made Lin Shu return it a thousand times!
Lin Shu's gaze fell on Chun Geer, who was standing beside Princess Changze. If not for Lin Hui's low reminder, "Princess Changze is looking at you", she would not have noticed it.
Raising their heads, they both had meaningful looks in their eyes.
Lin Shu even smiled.
Princess Changze took a sip of his tea and laughed sarcastically: "It's been more than three years since we last met, Fourth Miss Lin has become more and more beautiful, seems like the water and soil in this manor are extremely nourishing!"
Three years ago, she seemed to have lost, but how could she really lose? If Lin Shu really won, why would she rush to bring Madam Lian to the manor?
It wasn't that she didn't want to take Lin Shu and her daughter's lives, but she had to let go of the fact that the people she sent out could not be easily taken care of.
Lin Shu also smiled and replied: "Thank you Princess Changze for your praise, I have a good place to stay after eating, there is no need to worry, I am afraid I have become a bit fatter."
"Earlier this year, I also took Sister Qing to live in the manor for a few days. Not to mention, it was really comfortable, we even went to the mountain to gather wild fruits every day. Once, Sister Qing and I even saw a squirrel, the squirrel on the mountain wasn't afraid of people, it just stared at us with a pine nut in its arms!"
"You're right, especially when it's snowing for several days in the winter and squirrels come to the yard to beg for food!" Speaking of the matter at the Manor, Lin Shu smiled.
"The manor is full of vulgar people. In this kind of place, it's best to avoid any accidents in the future!"
Everyone was silent, looking at each other, they did not know what Princess Changze meant by his words.
"If you didn't say it, I wouldn't have thought of it. Originally, Fourth Miss Lin was raised by Esteemed Empress Dowager before. I heard that it was also because you told her that she was smart and sensible, that you wanted her by your side!" All the female servants present held the Princess Changze in high regard. As the host, the Duke Andong’s wife was naturally also in the same state.
Now, she said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Fourth Miss Lin and Princess Changze have not seen each other for over three years. Come, Fourth Miss, come over here and sit next to Princess Changze!"
After she finished speaking, she even personally ordered the Maid to move an armchair over to the Princess Changze's side. As the blood sister of her future daughter-in-law, she naturally hoped that Lin Shu would be able to form a good relationship with the Princess Changze.
Lin Shu did not reject, and sat down next to the Princess Changze under everyone's watch.
She didn't want anyone to see through her.
As the ladies gathered together and gossiped, the atmosphere gradually became more lively, not to mention that the hall had invited Liucheng Garden's crew to sing a song for them, making it even more lively for a moment.
Princess Changze picked up the tea Gu, and although it looked like he was drinking tea, he asked softly, "Has your mother been well recently?"
"Thanks to Princess Changze, I'm doing very well!" Lin Shu's eyes fell on Yuan Xiaoyi who was standing on the stage, not even sparing her a glance.
With just the Princess Changze s, how could they have good intentions?
"Then I am relieved." Princess Changze laughed charmingly, then mocked: "Back then I almost forced your mother to death, but now that I think about it, it is my fault, I was too rash back then. Fortunately your mother is still fine, otherwise, it would be such a pity."
As she spoke, she gave Lin Shu a deep look, and her intentionally suppressed voice had a hint of coldness in it, "If your mother can't just watch your own daughter suffer, then the next play will be completely meaningless. In these few years, I've also thought it through, there are many ways to die alone, especially against such a stupid person like your mother. But I still want her to live, live well, and watch her daughter struggle in the sea of fire. Do you think this is more painful for her than taking her life? "
"As for you, when the time comes, you will be too busy to take care of yourself. How would you have the mind to take care of your mother?" If you keep torturing her for a few years, it won't be too late even if she dies! "
Lin Shu took a deep breath before slowly saying, "You want me to struggle in the sea of fire? You want to kill my mother again? Heh, does Princess Changze see me as the Buddha who created everything with a flip of my hand? "When you had the ability, it was because Esteemed Empress Dowager doted on you. Did you do it now?"
"Don't forget, right now you are only the wife of Wang Family, the wife of a sixth stage official. What ability do you have to push me into the sea of fire? "Even if Esteemed Empress Dowager dotes on you, not everyone is a fool to be manipulated by you!"
"Don't you care about my father the most? Even though he doesn't really care about me, it's still a good honor for him to have such a good face. When all of us at the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion are just decorations, we won't be able to … "
When she was outside, she represented the face of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion. If Princess Changze really did something that ruined her reputation, Grand Madam and Lin Pei would definitely not sit idly and watch.
The Princess Changze impatiently interrupted her, "Your mouth has always been good. I want to see how long you can continue being so stubborn for! I hope that you can still say such tough words at that time! "
Just as she finished speaking, Yuan Xiaoyi, who was on the stage, swung her sleeves, finishing the performance.
Princess Changze laughed and said loudly: "Two hundred taels of silver!"
Duke Andong’s wife shouted "Princess Changze is truly rich" and gave him a reward of one hundred silver. This one hundred silver was enough for ordinary people to eat and wear for a few years.
Immediately, Grandma Da, Madam Duke Chengan, First Madam and the rest all rewarded Yuan Xiaoyi with fifty silver coins.
But only the Second Madam lingered on, and in the end, also softly shouted out "Fifty silver taels". As he finished speaking, his heart felt as if it was about to drip blood.
The Duke Chengan lady was from the Ye Family. Although the Ye Family was no longer the same as before, a skinny camel was still bigger than a horse.
The Grandma Da was the daughter-in-law of the Elder Zhang. Although her family background was not obvious, the Pavilion Elder's family still lacked money? As for her sister-in-law, there was no need to mention her. When the steward accompanied her to marry, he already had over ten thousand taels of silver, not to mention that one hundred taels of silver as a dowry …
She was the only one who had no dowry for the marriage, and now she even had to deduct and search to earn a dowry for her daughter. Although Grand Madam had also said that Lin Qian would marry her using the five thousand taels of silver that she had given her when she married, but she still wanted to add more so that his daughter would be able to marry into the Duke Andong Palace and stand straight …
Although Lin Shu did not like watching a show, she still followed behind and gave Zhang Yuanqing three taels of silver as reward.
Zhang Yuanqing could not help but come over and say, "Fourth Miss, the ladies of Duke Andong Palace and I are going to the back garden to play, do you want to go with your third sister?" As for Lin Lian, she wasn't even within the scope of Qin Wentian's invitation.
Lin Shu was not in the mood to interact with Zhang Yuanqing, she was even more unwilling to stay by the Princess Changze's side. "Alright, then wait for me for a while, I'll go and call my third sister to go with you."
Hearing that she wanted to go out to play, Lin Hui was naturally very happy, and pulled Lin Shu's hand as they walked out.
The majority of them were around thirteen or fourteen years old, and all of them looked like flowers, with a hundred types of flowers. This person also had a hundred different temperaments, and just now, someone had already deduced from Princess Changze's words that he was displeased with Lin Shu, and naturally had no good intentions towards Lin Shu.
