First Madam only used the handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes. In the past few days, she had cried even more tears than before, and now, Lin Jia was gently advising her from the side, "Sis Hui'er's character is also like this. Wind is rain, after a while of crying, everything will be fine … Back then, you had also written to tell me that a white fox raised by Sis Hui'er had died. Sis Hui'er almost wanted to cry and faint, but after one or two months, she would occasionally shed a tear or two.

In her opinion, this was just a small matter. Who knows how many more worrisome things she would encounter in the future compared to this.

After being persuaded, First Madam's tears stopped a little, and she turned to look at Grand Madam at the Green Pine Academy again.

From beginning to end, she had only said a single word to Lin Shu, wishing that she could not even give him a glance.

Lin Shu did not have the intention to climb up from the start, she had only instructed Xiang Ding to speak, and was only waiting for Lin Hui to finish crying so that she could bring in some hot tea, if his throat would sob till it turned into a hoarse state, then that would be bad, even if Lin Hui was not willing to eat, but she had to constantly prepare dishes in the small kitchen, in case Lin Hui was starved to death.

"Fourth Miss, you are the youngest. Unlike Second Miss and Fifth Miss, who would normally listen to every word they say in front of everyone, Second Miss and Fifth Miss have only put on an act twice in the beginning …"

As expected of someone who grew up by Lin Hui's side, just like Lin Hui, who didn't even have a door in her mouth.

Lin Shu passed a handkerchief to her, hinting her to wipe her tears, "Right now, these things are useless, the most important thing is for you to take good care of your young lady."

She only wished for Lin Hui to endure through it.

But at night, Lin Hui was sick, her whole body was burning with fever and her mouth was filled with nonsense, shouting something like "Brother Yao".

When the First Madam went over to take a look, her expression changed greatly, to the point that she did not even let Aroma to wait on him, and she herself stayed in front of Lin Hui the whole night, but looked like she was begging for death, and when the pill was in her mouth, she gritted her teeth and did not loosen her mouth, as if a bowl of medicine could be fed to her mouth.

On the second day, Lin Hui's condition naturally did not improve at all.

This matter had already alarmed the Grand Madam, so the Grand Madam only sent someone to invite him over. Seeing the tired look on the First Madam's face, he sighed, "... You're not young anymore, why are you still learning to be like those little girls who can stay up all night? Is it because Sis Hui'er makes such a ruckus that you have to stand guard in front of her day and night? I, too, watched her grow up. The more you put this matter in your heart, the more rowdy it becomes. I only wanted to force you to loosen your grip.

Originally, she had doted on Lin Hui, but now that this matter had spread out, she felt that it was a different story. She even thought that maybe Lin Hui and Lian Yao had secretly planned something, or else how could there be a girl who would not marry even if she wanted to? I'm afraid even Yao Yao is unwilling to admit his debt now that things have gone wrong!

Yesterday, she even wanted to ask the senior servant of the palace to inspect Lin Hui's true body, but was stopped by the Nanny Chen. She directly said that if the First Madam knew about this, he would definitely not agree to it, and so she gave up.

In the end, she was still his own daughter, so he could only feel sorry for her!

First Madam felt as if her mouth was filled with coptis. Tuntun did not want to go down, and could not even spit it out, "... But even if she knows that she's fooling around, I can't let her go. She was born in October, how can she watch her become like this? If she doesn't eat, then I won't be able to eat with her! "

Last night, she had even been thinking of just agreeing to Lin Hui. If anyone else wanted to mock her, she would let them laugh at that, she couldn't possibly lose her daughter's life just because of her reputation.

She and Grand Madam highly valued face, but the difference between the two was too great.

Grand Madam knew that her eldest daughter-in-law had a cold face and a warm heart, there was a chance that she would agree to Lin Hui's request, "This attitude, I will speak with you shamelessly first, if Sis Hui'er doesn't want to marry me, she can choose to go to the Huaiyin Palace, since she has to love her marriage, but if Lian Yao marries, then unless I die …"

The First Madam could only nod her head.

The words were clear enough, and the little thought in her mind was gone.

However, from the beginning to the end, Lin Shu had never thought that Lin Hui would marry Lian Yao. When her mother married her father back then, even if she had a grandfather who came to secretly propose marriage, Grand Madam would only hang him for one night while crying, two nights, and three nights. If the vacancy in her Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion wasn't too big, how could she agree to that?

But now, Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion seemed to be like a cluster of flowers, lacking nothing.

However, after thinking about it again and again, Yao Yao was unable to figure out where Lin Hui really liked him. Before leaving for White Horse Institute, he even specially visited Lin Shu once, and as a man who had grown up together with men, this was actually the first time he encountered such a thing. Sister Shu, what do you think she likes about me? Logically speaking, your family should be very concerned about your future husband's background, but why doesn't she care at all? "

Even in the White Horse Institute, there were quite a few people who took his birth as an excuse. Whether it was on the surface or in the dark, they all said that without Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, according to his background and knowledge, he would not be able to enter the White Horse Institute. It was this aspect of wealth. Who knew how many of the younger generations of aristocratic families would be able to compete with them?

"I don't know either." Lin Shu replied indifferently, she had no need to be so careful with such things, it might take him a lifetime to do it, "Anyway, many years ago, I could tell that something was wrong with Third Sister, and I even advised her a few times, I'm afraid she never took it to heart."

With that, she continued, "Brother Yao, we are about to meet in the autumn, don't be distracted by this matter. The most important thing is to focus on the Imperial examinations, and the most important thing is to not disappoint Uncle and Aunt."

With great difficulty, a scholar emerged from the Lian Family. Everyone in the Lian Family had high hopes for him, and they only hoped that he would be able to pass the examinations this time.

"Rest assured, Sister Shu, I will definitely give you a place to go to."

Hearing this, both of them were stunned.

Lin Shu laughed awkwardly, she turned her body and changed the topic: "Alright, it's getting late, you should go back to the Academy." In the past few days, when she thought about what her mother had said to her, it was not that she did not secretly think about the relationship between him and the Brother Yao.

He really couldn't force himself to do such things.

He didn't know when this little ball of flesh had grown into a big girl. His face that was pinching his hands definitely didn't feel as good as when he was young, but to her, his future wife would only be Lin Shu. "Sister Shu, I have something to say to you."

It was the first time he was so serious.

Lin Shu had a bad feeling, but she knew that this moment was about to arrive. She wasn't the kind of girl who didn't go through a lot, and she more or less knew about relationships between men and women. She originally knew that even Yao was good to her, but she had never thought much about the relationship between men and women.

Seeing her silence, even Yao Yao ordered the maidservants in the room to leave.

moved closer to Lin Shu and said: "Miss, if anything happens, please call this servant over." She always felt that the atmosphere was strange.

Lin Shu nodded.

When the room was empty, Yao Yao secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva before asking, "Sister Shu, wait for me to become a Scholar. Are you willing to marry me?"

What was coming had finally come.

"I don't want to." Lin Shu replied with incomparable firmness and certainty, "Brother Yao, I have always treated you as my own brother."

These words sounded so familiar, even though Yao Yao had thought about it, these words were exactly the same as what he said to Lin Hui the day before yesterday, "Why? Aunt said it, she always wanted you to marry me, and once you marry to Lian Family, you won't suffer the slightest bit of grievance … "

He had always been a talker, but he didn't know what to say now. He really wanted to tell her what he had been thinking for so many years, but he was afraid that if he did, Sister Shu would be scared.

There was a silence in the room.

Lin Shu thought for a moment, then said: "Brother Yao, this is something that Mother had told me before. At that time, I had thought about it carefully, if I were to marry you, I would be able to enjoy limitless prosperity, and my uncle and aunt would treat me like their own daughter. It's just that people don't live for others. I want to have my own life, and I'm not willing to marry you in order to let the elders feel at ease. This is unfair to me. "

Lin Hui's matter had given Li Yao a lot of confidence, but now that she had been stepped on ruthlessly by Lin Shu, he felt both embarrassed and sad, "Why?"

Lin Shu shook her head, and said in a low voice: "Brother Yao, there is no reason behind such feelings. If you like it, you like it, and if you don't like it, you don't like it … If you ask me why, then can you explain why you don't like Sis Hui'er? "

Yao Yao's mouth twitched. He wanted to say something, but no words came out.

Lin Shu looked at him, and said word by word: "The most pressing matter at hand is to put all your heart at stake. When you become a High Scholar, you will definitely find a wife that you like and like …"

She knew full well that this was definitely not her.

Yao Yao let out a bitter laugh. He gave her a long look before tossing her a "I won't give up" before turning around and walking away.

In fact, no matter if it was her or Lin Hui, or even if there was Yao Yao, they were both very stubborn.
