Lin Shu was the clearest about the character of the Grand Madam, but she only sighed, and said: "What's the use of saying all these now? I have to think about what to do first... You are the eldest daughter of the first wife of the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, so it is completely impossible between you and the Brother Yao! "
"Is it because even you look down on the Brother Yao? You think the Brother Yao is bad? " Lin Hui was already deeply immersed in love, upon hearing this, the hand grabbing onto Lin Shu's sleeve loosened, and complained: "Brother Yao is your blood cousin!"
Lin Shu only said: "It's true that Brother Yao is my cousin, but I also think that there aren't many people who can be better than Brother Yao in this world. It's just that third sister, there are a lot of things that shouldn't be discussed with me, that's good … What kind of status does Brother Yao have, and what kind of status do you have? Even if Brother Yao were to be caught by a Scholar, or even a flower scout, it is still impossible between you and Brother Yao.
"Just now, grandmother's words could only deceive you, if it was anyone else, I'm afraid they would not believe it, grandmother values Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion the most, why would grandmother allow you to marry the son of a merchant? Even if you forced your grandmother and the First Aunt to let you marry, would you be able to watch the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion become the laughingstock of the entire capital? "
Back then, because of the marriage between Lin Pei and Madam Lian, Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion had already become a laughingstock in the capital. Because of this matter, Grand Madam had always avoided calling Madam Lian out to see guests. How could she make the same mistake again?
Lin Hui could not help but hesitate, and said in a low voice: "Sister Shu, if it was you, would you have decided to do as you please for the sake of your Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion's reputation?"
"If it were me, I would … but only if it was worth it!" Have you ever thought about what Brother Yao would do to you if you really liked him? Do you think of me as your little sister, or do I like you? "You know everything better than anyone else, just like how a blind person would be able to cross a river. If you really can smoothly cross the river, then it would be the best, but I'm afraid that you might end up with a head full of blood from the fall!" Lin Shu was extremely clear that Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion was Lin Hui's home, but it was different for her.
In other words, if the First Princess Pingning had set his eyes on Lin Hui, he was afraid that the Grand Madam would not agree to it.
Lin Hui bit her lips as she gradually understood what was going on.
But a moment later, she seemed to have thought of something and said in a low voice, "I …" I feel that Brother Yao likes me, but when Brother Yao gifted the white fox to you, he was asked by me to come over. Brother Yao directly said that this white fox is just like me, very cute, and that if you kept those white foxes, it would be a waste; another time, when I played chess with Sister Qian, I couldn't defeat her, and Sister Qian directly said that I was stupid, but Brother Yao taught me from the side.
However, Lin Shu interrupted her words with a slight raise of her voice, "Third Sister, there's no use in saying all these."
Lin Hui stared blankly, but the next moment, she suddenly burst into tears, "Then what do you think I should do? As long as I can marry to Brother Yao, I can even be a concubine … "
Lin Shu didn't know how to advise her, she only patted her back and sighed again and again.
Without waiting for Lin Hui to finish crying, Maid who was outside immediately rushed in to inform him, saying that First Madam had angrily come over.
When First Madam came in, she grabbed Lin Hui's arm and slapped her hard.
Yet this slap had completely and utterly stunned Lin Hui. From a young age till now, not to mention getting slapped, her fingers had not even been moved by anyone! Now, she only covered her face and stared at First Madam in a daze, as though she had forgotten to shed tears.
On the other hand, First Madam did not look any better. Currently, she was trembling from anger, her eyes were red, and her mouth had been opened and closed a few times before finally being able to utter a few words. Bring Third Miss back, and don't let anyone see him during this period of time, especially the Fourth Miss! "
Now, even if she had a stomach full of fire, it would not be good for her to throw it at Lin Hui outside, in the end, she still cared about her daughter's face.
As for Lin Shu, she felt that she had deceived her own daughter because Lin Shu had interfered. Otherwise, with the pure personality of the Sis Hui'er, how could she know if she liked him or not …
Lin Hui turned her head back three times as she cried. She shouted, "Sister Shu, save me, save me!"
Lin Shu had only walked a few steps forward when the First Madam looked at him coldly. "Sister Shu, you are a young lady from the fifth house, you don't need to meddle in our affairs, just mind your own business."
As she spoke, she sternly commanded the wives who were pulling Lin Hui: "What are you all waiting for? Hurry up and bring the Third Miss away! "
Lin Hui was practically dragged away by a few wives.
Lin Shu had lived two lives, but this was the first time she saw Lin Hui like this, and her eyes turned red. This word hurt her the most, it hurt her in her previous life, the Lin Hui in this life!
Waiting until Lin Hui was forcibly brought back by the First Madam, she had even secretly went over at night, and only thought about whether or not she could secretly look at Lin Hui. She could not do anything else, but she could at least comfort him with a few words … But who knew that Lin Hui's courtyard was being guarded like an iron barrel, not to mention Lin Shu wanting to talk to him, she wished that when she got near the courtyard, there would be a few wives glaring at her.
This was completely different from when Lin Shu was initially placed under house arrest. Other than Nanny Wei, the rest of the servants often turned a blind eye to Lin Hui when they thought that she and Lin Shu were all masters in the palace. But now, not only were the wives guarding Lin Hui, even the Grand Madam and First Madam had sent over a few wives.
Lin Shu could only turn and return.
That night, she only dreamed of Lin Hui being dragged back by a wife, and she woke up at the first light of dawn.
When Actinin Qin heard the sound of her turning over, he immediately came in, so Lin Shu decided to keep her here. The two of them laid on the bed and talked.
Actinin Qin knew that she was feeling terrible in her heart and specifically chose to say what she liked to hear, "... A few days ago, she had specially invited a doctor to take a look and told him that she was not in any serious trouble, that she had eaten well and lived well during this period of time, and that Cherry had gained a lot of weight compared to when she had first arrived at the Manor. "
Cherry Blossom, Old Madam He and the rest were still living in the same villa that was previously used by Madam Lian to recuperate. Although First Princess Pingning had set his eyes on that villa, Lin Shu knew that First Princess Pingning had always wanted her.
Furthermore, this was the best manor that the Madam Lian had under him.
Lin Shu was secretly happy in her heart, but she discovered that she couldn't laugh no matter what, "Then that's for the best …"
Actinin Qin continued smiling: "Once Cherry has fully recovered, you can bring her to the Palace. At that time, she can also accompany you and chat with you."
"Bring her into the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion?" Lin Shu laughed bitterly and shook her head: "Her character is not suitable for Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, why not let her keep it in the villa. When she's old enough, I'll help her with a good marriage. As long as she's happy, it's better than anything else. "
Saying that, she turned to look at Actinin Qin who was lying beside her, and said softly: Then what about you? Have you ever thought about your own fate? Now that you are old, my mother has mentioned your marriage to me more than once when we were at the manor, but I have the feeling that you grew up with my mother, that you were born with a proper face, and that you knew how to read and write. If you casually find a farmer to marry at the manor, that would be very unfair. After we returned to the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, one thing after another, I didn't really have much of an interest in you … "
"Miss, please don't say such words. Your words are like this for me!" When they first went to the villa, the lady had always been worried that the Princess Changze would send people to harm them. She often couldn't sleep, and had also asked her to stay behind countless of times. Like this, the two of them laid side by side on the bed, and they would be able to spend the majority of the night talking.
Due to such a relationship, she had to treat the lady well, "Right now, you are extremely sad, Master and Princess Changze are glaring at you, First Princess Pingning wants your life, and now that such a thing has happened to Third Miss, this servant knows that you are more upset than anyone else … If this servant truly marries at this time, and cannot stop worrying about you, it would be better to wait for everything to be settled first. Then, you can properly find a good marriage for this servant and quickly marry this servant off! "
After so many years of friendship, the relationship between the two of them was no longer as simple as that between master and servant.
Lin Shu nodded emphatically, "Alright … However, we have agreed that if there really is a good family, I will be the first to marry you out … Marriage is like the second reincarnation of a young lady. Whether or not you live well in the future will all depend on this. "
She thought of Lin Hui. Speaking of which, that Huaiyin in her previous life didn't seem to have done anything too excessive either, but Lin Hui and the Huaiyin had become so noisy that it might have been a natural disagreement between the two. Sigh, I wonder how Sis Hui'er is doing now. "
Actinin Qin did not say anything else, "Don't worry, no matter how angry First Madam is, she will not make things difficult for you."
"It's not like you don't know the personality of your third sister. Back then, Second Sister wasn't satisfied with the marriage at the Duke Andong Palace. Although she said that she would rather die than marry Second Sister, she was just scaring people." Lin Shu's face was filled with worry, "But those words coming from Third Sister's mouth, is most likely true, not to scare First Aunt!"
That was why she was so worried.
Actinin Qin could not help but comfort her with a few words. When the sky was completely bright, Lin Shu fell into a deep slumber again.
She did not sleep well last night, but after sleeping for so long, she had actually slept until late morning, and Actinin Qin had actually brought back some good news.
