Originally, Lin Jia did not inform First Madam about this, but when Lin Shu and the others went to pay respects at the Green Pine Academy, he came out and said even more, "… However, who would have known that last night, there would be a wife from the princess' mansion who would come to deliver a message that First Princess Pingning's health is not very good these few days? As her wife, I have to go back and take a look, to serve by the side. "
The Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion that she was yearning for was no longer her home. During this period of time, her grandmother had also not been as close to Juan Niang as before, and instead frequently ordered her wet nurse to bring him over … She didn't know what that meant.
Lin Shu's hand that was drinking the tea Gu suddenly trembled, she hesitated for a moment, but did not say anything.
On the other hand, the Grand Madam ordered his to receive the Lin Geer in his arms. He gave Lin Jia a deep look and said, "First Princess Pingning's health is not good for one or two days, and it is not as if there are no maids and servants by your side. I heard that there are only two or three female doctors, why do I need you to return? If someone from the First Princess Pingning Palace comes, you can just ask her to come find me, an old granny. "
Lin Shu also smiled as she continued, "That's right, big sister, you don't know how happy Grandmother became when she found out that you are returning to the capital. She directly mentioned that before you left the pavilion, you liked to eat the bamboo shoot with abalones juice, and said that the chef in Green Pine Academy's kitchen didn't cook well today. If you were to return to the princess' mansion at this time, I don't know how sad grandmother would be. "
Amongst these grandchildren, the one the Grand Madam doted on the most was Lin Jia.
Lin Jia's complexion also loosened, "This time, when First Princess returns to the capital, I'm afraid that I won't be able to return to Forin again. This princess' palace and Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion are only able to travel for two hours, if Grandmother misses me and Juan Niang, I can come back to visit, and will definitely return from time to time to show filial piety to Grandmother …"
However, before she could finish her words, the Juan Niang in her embrace shouted, "Mother, no! No!"
Her father would often not accompany her and her grandmother would also put on a stern face towards her, unlike at Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion. With so many playmates, everyone would laugh at her and she was naturally unwilling to return.
A child's mind was clear.
First Madam hurriedly said, "Look, even Juan Niang is not willing to go back … So we might as well not rush back. We finally managed to get you back, and now you've stayed in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion for a few days? "
Lin Jia did not answer.
On the other hand, Grand Madam waved his hand and said, "Sister Jia is no longer a child. If she wants to go back, then so be it. If you really decide to go back, you can just tell us in advance and let this old woman be prepared! "
She had already said what she should say when her daughter threw out the water. If Lin Jia really wanted to leave, she had nothing to say.
Lin Jia only replied with a low "En", and didn't say much else.
The Grand Madam chuckled as he ordered the Auntie Zhong to stand up. He directly said that the lotus flower feast this time was no ordinary affair and that they had to be cautious, they had ordered the Auntie Zhong to purchase a lot of rare lotuses from the outside and even bought several hundred delicate and exquisite bowls. There was a white porcelain bowl the size of a palm with small lotuses inside, looking extremely cute and adorable.
At that time, the lotus flowers would be placed in every corner of the parlour. After the lotus flower feast was over, they would be distributed to the various ladies' courtyards.
Although the Lotus Bowl was small, it was not cheap. It seemed that the Grand Madam had spent a lot to invite First Princess Pingning for the feast.
Lin Jia, who had already made a decision, couldn't help but loosen her grip.
She only thought about how she was a married off girl after all, and it wasn't too good to always stay in her parents' home. She thought about it carefully, and decided to tell Grand Madam that she had to leave the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion tomorrow.
Grand Madam didn't speak for a long time, he only looked at Lin Jia with a profound gaze.
Lin Jia didn't dare look at Grand Madam anymore. Whenhe was young, she broke her Grandmother's favorite peony flower, but her Grandmother didn't hit her or scold her. He only looked at his in such a way, and at that time, she already knew that he was wrong.
After a long while, Grand Madam let out a long sigh, "Sister Jia, are you blaming me? "Blame me for clearly suspecting that Lin Geer is not our Lin Family's flesh and blood, yet, for protecting him during this period of time, blame me for feeling that Juan Niang did something wrong on this matter …"
"Grandmother, I didn't mean that!" Lin Jia's voice was low, and he even laughed dryly.
Grand Madam shook his head and laughed, "At that time, you had only been pregnant for two to three months, and your mother had just gotten pregnant for brother, so she did not have the mood to take care of you. I was afraid that the servant girls below would not be able to take care of you, so I brought you to my side and raised you.
"I personally raised you and you grew up. When you frowned, I knew what you were unhappy about. How could you hide it from me with just that little bit of thought of yours?"
Lin Jia only muttered: "Grandmother …."
There's no need to speak any further. If it's true that First Princess Pingning does not like you living in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, then pack up and go back tomorrow. If it's really about the Lin Geer's matter, then there's no need to talk about anything else. The Grand Madam raised a hand towards her, lovingly interrupting her words, and said slowly: "Even if Big Brother is a County Prince of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, in my heart, I can't compare to you. Before you left the pavilion, I never said these words … My entire body has become like this, if I don't say it now, I will never have the chance to say it again. Sister Jia, others might not understand this part of my heart, could it be that you do not understand it? "
"If you really want to return, then take it that I've wasted my words today. Go back and pretend that …" When you were in the Forin, I kept thinking about you, afraid that you wouldn't be able to eat or wear well. Now, I've finally managed to get you to come back, you've only lived here for a few days, and you say that you want to go back? "Forget about it when I get back. I don't know who I learned it from, but you sure know how to lie in front of an old granny like me!"
As she said that, her gaze directly landed on Lin Jia, and said weakly: "Your Fifth Uncle has always been unhappy because I doted on your father and your second uncle, but when I thought about what happened between Juan Niang and him that day, it was indeed me who was unfair. At that time, it wasn't as if there wasn't anything wrong with your Juan Niang at all, so when your Fifth Uncle came to me, I couldn't say anything, so I had no choice but to make things difficult for you and your second uncle …"
"Your difficulties, I know them all!" Lin Jia rubbed the corner of her eyes with the handkerchief and said softly, "I've also thought about this a lot in the past few days. I've only been thinking about the position of the Fifth Uncle in the Third Rank, and although my father is a dukedom, I'm afraid that the entire Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion is supported by the Fifth Uncle. I'm afraid... I was afraid that would be unhappy because of what happened at Juan Niang. If I continued to stay in the palace with Juan Niang, it would make things difficult for you.
"It's true that mother loves me, but in the end, she loves me even more. Even though I haven't seen Juan Niang in many years, I have also loved her a bit more between Sister Pearl and herself. I know that I'm an older sister, so it's not good for me to argue with my younger brother about this … But Grandmother, I feel wronged in my heart too. They are all mother's children. When mother had me, she stopped caring for me. If you weren't here, I … I'm afraid that I'll have to grow up with that servant girl. "
Back then, I had to follow First Princess Pingning to Pingning, but not only was I unable to accept the situation, I couldn't even understand the language of Forin. When others were talking to each other, I could only laugh by the side, not even being able to speak properly. At that time, Uncle had to be on official business every day, and in private, he wouldn't even be able to cry while hugging Juan Niang.
"When I finally got used to the days of the Forin, and the First Princess Pingning brought up the idea of having Second Uncle and the Sister Shu marry each other, you wouldn't know how scared I was that you would get tired of me because of this, and say that I have a wife, so you don't care about the life and death of your family! You don't know how many times I have urged First Princess Pingning to do so because of this. First Princess Pingning had scolded me time and time again, and later, he even directly passed me and wrote a letter to you. During that period of time, I cried even more than before, afraid that you would no longer love me. "
Speaking of which, although the two of them were grandfathers, they were the most intimate people in the world.
When did Lin Jia grow a tooth, when did she know how to speak, and when did she get Sunflower Water … They were all the first things Grand Madam knew of, and they stayed by her side.
Grand Madam's eyes reddened as he held her hand and said, "Good child, Grandmother knows that you are a good child. Even your wronged grandmother knows, so how can I blame you? Rest assured, if Sister Shu marries into the First Princess Palace, there will be people who can help you in the future. "
If Lin Shu really married into the First Princess Pingning Palace, then even though the First Princess Pingning's personality was mean and mean, people would still be unable to figure it out, and Lin Shu didn't have a husband … In the end, who else could she rely on other than Lin Jia?
Lin Jia wiped away her tears and said, "I knew that you loved me the most in this world …"
The grandfather and grandson duo were talking privately, but outside, they heard the sound of stumbling footsteps, followed by Mrs Xu's panicked voice, "Grandma Da, Grand Madam, not good, Auntie Zhong is going to kill Juan Niang!"
These words were like a clap of thunder in the clear sky, scaring Lin Jia to the point that she lost her soul.
