The First Princess Pingning was not a Grand Madam, so everything he thought of was about Lin Pei. He was concerned with Lin Pei's reputation and laughed mockingly, "What if I said the Auntie Zhong deserved to die? Could it be that Lord Lin is going to fall out with me over such a concubine? "
Usually, the people who socialized with officials had a few circles in their stomachs, it was actually Lin Pei's first time meeting someone who was as straightforward as First Princess Pingning.
But Lin Pei had been in the government for many years, and he was not someone who was easy to deal with, "Why does First Princess have to be so serious? If you really say it like that, is it because of the scar on Lin Geer's face, and I have to bother about this matter with him? Auntie Zhong is wrong, I will punish her as well, but if I were to take your life because of this, it would be too much! "
There was a smile on his face. He didn't want to win the argument, nor did he want to do anything soft. He had relied on these eight words to go smoothly in the government.
These words were extremely rude to First Princess Pingning, she suddenly stood up and sneered, "Alright, what do you want to do with Juan Niang? Because a bastard had taken her life? Juan Niang is currently asleep in her room, you can do whatever you want, I will definitely not stop you! "
Zhu Changzhi quickly stepped forward to persuade her, "Mother, why did you …"
However, before he could finish his words, Grand Princess Pingning sternly humphed, "Shut up! At that time, you kept saying that Lady Lin had brought Mother Yuan to stay at the Zhong Hou Residence for a few days and that the letter was from the Lin Family. Nothing could happen to her! "Now that you have caused such a ruckus, I have yet to settle it with you two. Yet you still have the nerve to open your mouth and speak up for others?
She was used to being domineering. Even in front of others, she had never given her son the slightest bit of face.
Zhu Changzhi retreated to the side, not daring to speak again.
Lin Pei only frowned: "For something like this to happen to Juan Niang, I cannot do it, I just want to advise you to leave Auntie Zhong with your life. It's true that Auntie Zhong is a concubine, but in the end, you've always been by my side for many years, so I have some feelings for you! On Auntie Zhong's side, Big Brother, Big Sis and Master Zhu all agreed to let her live, so I'm begging you, please accept … "
First Princess Pingning only looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, "I really didn't think that Lord Lin would be so amorous to care about a mere aunt and leave Auntie Zhong's life behind. "Yes, I am not that ignorant of the ways of the world. It is just that Sir Lin has to agree to one of my requests."
"What is it? First Princess, please speak! " Lin Pei was overjoyed, First Princess Pingning... It seemed much easier to talk than he had imagined.
The First Princess Pingning said word by word, "I want Lin Shu to marry into the First Princess Pingning Palace!"
Madam Lin is your daughter's elder cousin, and in the future, she will be your daughter's elder sister-in-law. Even if it's just for this relationship, she will take good care of your daughter. I have already said that I have mistreated your daughter, and will definitely treat her well in the future.
The girl sitting next to the Second Madam was definitely from the second house. As for the remaining two girls, one had a grand air to his and the other had a pitiful appearance. She vaguely remembered that Lin Jia had mentioned the few girls from the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, so the grand woman must be Lin Shu.
He was upright, with clear eyes … This was the first time she saw him, and she was already quite satisfied with it.
Even someone as alert as Lin Pei was unable to recover from his shock for a moment, "Does this First Princess have another son …"
It was a matter of course for an ordinary noble family's son to accept a concubine, but Prince Consort still wanted to accept a concubine? That was simply courting death, he remembered that First Princess Pingning only had two sons …
But halfway through his words, he seemed to remember an important matter, and his face suddenly became extremely unsightly, as he said with great difficulty, "First Princess can't be talking about your young son who died in Forin, right?"
First Princess Pingning nodded, "Yes!"
This knot was the Yin Kindness!
Lin Pei's mouth moved, he wanted to say that First Princess Pingning was simply going too far, but no matter what he said, he could not say it out loud, First Princess Pingning was not someone that he could offend, if he truly angered First Princess Pingning, she wanted to form a marriage with him.
If Lin Shu really made a good marriage, not only would it not benefit him and her Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion in the slightest, but she would also settle scores with him in the future. If she casually found a good marriage for Lin Shu, it would be hard for him to escape from the jaws of death …
His son was born himself, and no one knew what he was thinking better than Grand Madam, "Why not First Princess take a look at Juan Niang, and wait for Fifth Master to give you a satisfactory answer."
First Princess Pingning nodded his head, he was just about to explain everything clearly.
After waiting for First Princess Pingning to leave, Grand Madam sighed and spoke hoarsely: "Before, First Princess Pingning wrote to me about this matter, and I didn't know if I should agree, or not tell you about this at the time. I thought that First Princess Pingning was just talking about it on a whim, but who would have known that she would actually come all the way back to the capital for this matter.
"Since First Princess Pingning came prepared this time, it doesn't matter if you agree or not, I'm afraid there's no choice in this matter. Since that's the case, why not just openly sell us to First Princess Pingning, making a marriage is much better than forming an enmity … Furthermore, First Princess Pingning has also said that as long as you are willing to agree to this marriage, she can give Auntie Zhong a chance to live. "
She only thought Lin Pei genuinely liked the Auntie Zhong.
Lin Pei could not help but say: "Actually, if Sister Shu were to marry into the First Princess Pingning Palace, it would save me a great burden. But if I were to really give my own daughter a Yin marriage, I am afraid that in the imperial court, this official's finger would be able to poke my head. "Looking at Gu Jin, there has never been a father who made a Yin kiss with his daughter before."
He wasn't just picking his daughter up. Doing this was really too wicked!
Grand Madam only said: "Our Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion naturally cannot be agreed upon personally, we can only agree to it privately. As for what happens next, we can just hand it over to First Princess Pingning … I believe that according to the methods of First Princess Pingning, there is a way. "
In fact, there were only two ways to go about it. One was for the royal family to bestow a marriage. With an imperial edict, even if everyone had the guts, they wouldn't dare to gossip behind their backs.
Secondly, to make the public know that Lin Shu had died, the two families had truly formed an evil relation with each other.
In the time it took to make a cup of tea, Lin Pei had already nodded his head.
When First Princess Pingning returned to the main hall, he went straight to the point, saying that First Princess Pingning had to grant the marriage to either Empress Dowager Wang or him.
With this, First Princess Pingning didn't ask what he should do about it.
Only, the Grand Madam had to give Lin Jia an explanation, and on the second day, she ordered people to lock Auntie Zhong and Lin You Lin inside the Green Pine Academy's woodshed. Other than people delivering food three times a day, the rest would not be bothered about it.
Coincidentally, Lin Pei had matters to attend to and thus left the capital. Otherwise, he would not have allowed the Grand Madam to lock him up no matter what.
When Lin Shu heard this news, the hand holding onto the brush stopped for a moment. After a long while, he finally spoke to Actinin Qin who had come up to him to answer: "I understand, you may leave!"
No matter who was the most miserable out of this group of people, she would not feel pity for that person. It was just that Lin Geer was the most innocent person there.
"Last night, a spy who was watching over the Duke Palace said that Princess Changze went back last night and dragged all of her things out of her Wang Family. But who knew that Wang Pei refused to let Chun Geer go no matter what, so Princess Changze took his dowry and returned to the King Rui Palace. This morning, Princess Changze also rushed out of the capital."
Princess Changze and Lin Pei had left the capital together?
Lin Shu sneered, if there was no trick to this, then it would be weird.
With regards to Lin Shu's stepmother from the previous life, Lin Shu still understood her slightly. She was afraid that when the Princess Changze instigated the First Princess Pingning to form this relationship with her, Lin Pei was unaware, as she knew Lin Pei's character. She did not like others to think of him as a fool to scheme against him. the Princess Changze was definitely more clear of Lin Pei's personality.
Now that the Princess Changze had started to scheme about marrying Lin Pei, naturally, he had to make amends to Lin Pei. Now, one was a married man, the other was a woman with a husband. But now, it was the most important time for them.
Lin Shu laughed, it was a pity, but it was a pity that the Princess Changze was too confident in him, she felt that she had control over the entire matter, she did not know that the mantis stalked the cicada was chasing the oriole, she had done so much, and now she had disturbed the Princess Changze's mind, and after that, she only needed to defeat the Princess Changze.
Thinking about that, she whispered a few words into Actinin Qin's ear, causing her expression to change greatly, "Miss, this … Is that okay? If someone finds out about this, the Grand Madam and the others will find out about it after a thorough investigation, and sooner or later, they will find out about it. "
"Does Grandmother still place Auntie Zhong and Lin Geer in her heart today? Each of the servant girls acted out of the corner of their eyes. Master did not like them, so the person under them was even more slow. He must have sent a few guards to bring Lin Geer out without anyone knowing. Only then did Lin Shu raise her brush and continue practicing, and she said indifferently: "As for Princess Changze, it would be fine if she didn't know that I was the one who took Lin Geer away, but if she knew, she would probably be even more worried. Lin Geer's life is like a bomb, if she really rises to the surface, where would her face in the Princess Changze be? "
Lin Geer's body was weak to begin with, but now that she was locked in the woodshed for a day or two, she became sick. Grand Madam knew that she did not have any intentions of calling a doctor, and just wished that Lin Geer could die.
