The two ladies walked arm in arm through the side door into the backyard.

The backyard had long been set up by the Grand Madam Palace. The Palace and the Palace's family members had all gathered, so the few families gathered together and only sent a few children to the backyard with maids and wives to admire the lotus.

The lotus flower was only the cause. Now that it was the end of summer, there was no more lotus flower in the pond.

Of course, the ones who were the most active were Shao Xi and Lin Lian. Shao Xi had always had a flamboyant personality, but now, it was as if she had forgotten about the matter of the First Princess Pingning Palace proposing marriage. Although there aren't any more lotuses in the pond now, but I have heard that the Dafu Temple's lotus roots are extremely tasty. When used to make soup, the lotus roots are extremely tasty, and when used to cook soup, the lotus roots are extremely sweet.

She said whatever she wanted to say, but Lin Lian naturally agreed. "Then let's go to the Lotus Pond …"

"I don't think so …" She was born weak and delicate, her features were beautiful and gave people a comfortable feeling in their hearts. Now, she spoke even more weakly than before, "The monks in this temple are all disciples of the Buddha, if we come here to enjoy the incense, we have already troubled the monks. If we were to ask them to dig out lotus roots for us, I'm afraid that would be too much for them!"

"Why is it not justified?" The one who said this was Shao Xi. Although both she and Lu Suiyu were born from a concubine, they did not know where she got the confidence to look down on Lu Suiyu, "If the Buddha can really protect this monk from the Dafu Temple, then why are the masters of the temple so happy to see us adding oil to the wealth? If not for us raising them, they would have gone to the streets! "

Lu Suiyu was a bit timid. Seeing her say this, he didn't know what to say.

On the other hand, Huaiyin who was walking in front of Shao Shengping could not help but turn around and look at him when he heard this.

Shao Shengping also turned his head, and said softly: "Sister Xi'er, this is a quiet place, don't speak nonsense!"

When she turned her head, it made many girls' faces turn red, they all lowered their heads, as if they wanted to look, but did not dare to. Seeing Shao Shengping leaving them far behind, their steps also became faster.

Only Lin Shu and Lin Hui stayed behind. After walking a few steps, Lin Hui shouted, "Sister Shu, let's take a break, I can't walk anymore."

It was obvious that she did not want to interact any more with the Huaiyin.

Lin Shu could only say: "Then let's take a break."

Other than the scented tassels, Lin Hui only dismissed the servant girls by her side and said softly: "Sister Shu, I might as well just marry Huaiyin. To me, it's the same for everyone else except for Brother Yao, I even made Father and Mother worry for me, especially when I saw how Mother was always frowning and worrying towards everyone, but when she came to me, she still forced a smile, and felt that I am becoming more and more unfilial."

Everyone says that the Huaiyin looks like Zhou Zheng, his personality is pure and good, I just saw him and felt that, when Shao Xi was making things difficult for his little sister, he had an unhappy face, which means that the family must be very harmonious, and that if I were to marry him, I would not have to suffer much.

He was truly sick and had grown up a lot!

Even Lin Shu could not help but exclaim: "It's good that you can think like this, and I think that the Huaiyin Palace values this marriage extremely, and even personally said that they would like you to meet after being rejected by the First Aunt. With such a mother-in-law, your life will be easier in the future. "

Lin Hui nodded her head, thus agreeing to the marriage.

In her previous life, she was also married to the Huaiyin, but Lin Shu didn't know why she was so unhappy with him in the end, she could still remember when she was placed under house arrest by Shao Shengping, Lin Hui had secretly gone to see her, and she couldn't help but ask a few more questions about their sisterhood.

But who would have known that at that time, Lin Hui said with reddened eyes, "I was merely suffering through bitter days. If it wasn't for my child, I … I'm afraid I've long since left him. "

At that time, she was still trying to persuade Lin Hui not to throw her temper away, but at that time, Lin Hui shook her head, looking like she wanted to say something but was hesitating to do so.

Now that she thought about it, Lin Shu originally planned to advise her a little, but after thinking about it, not to mention Lin Hui in her previous life, even he himself had a really good temper. Every family had their own problems, and even her teeth would clench against her tongue when they spoke, so how could there not be a quarrel between husband and wife? What's more, there was no mistake about the marriage between Huaiyin Palace at all.

The two rested for a while, then went to the pond at the back of the mountain.

There were only failed lotuses left in the pond, looking at the few small boats in the middle of the lake from afar, Lin Shu only found a servant and asked: "Are they there already?"

Maid was trembling with fear as he said in a low voice, "The elders and ladies are getting interested. They said that they all want to go harvest the lotus leaves to see who has more lotus leaves."

It was a good thing that there were many well-informed women around. If something were to happen, they would immediately go to save him.

Lin Hui could not help but shake her head, and said softly: "I'm afraid it's Shao Xi's idea again, she has a lot of clever ideas. I wonder if she will still be able to smile after marrying off to the First Princess Pingning Palace."

She had seen the impressiveness of First Princess Pingning before.

"We are not sure if this Shao Xi will marry into the First Princess Pingning Palace, although they do not dare to offend the First Princess Pingning Palace, but if the Duke Chengan Palace truly dotes on Shao Xi, there are many ways to push the marriage away. The National Duke Ning Palace is one of their choices, if we were to bring out Shao Xi, would the First Princess Pingning still dare to come and take him away?" Lin Shu thought very carefully. In her previous life, Shao Xi had married quite well, a concubine having married a young lady to the first son of the official of the fifth rank. This could be considered a high marriage, but this was also due to Shao Xi's concubine being favored by her aunt.

After thinking about it, she continued, "If Shao Xi really knew that she would marry into First Princess Pingning's Palace, why would she be so happy today? Based on her personality, she would have long been hiding in her room and wouldn't come out even if she wanted to die! "

In her previous life, Shao Xi had given her a lot of eyedrops, so she more or less knew about Shao Xi's personality.

Lin Hui laughed in ridicule, but just as she was about to speak, she saw the few girls riding on a small boat heading towards the center of the lake, she pulled on one of them and asked: "What exactly happened?"

At this time, Xiao Shui's wife was so scared that her face turned white. "Old servant, old servant …" I don't know what's going on, but they say something went wrong over there! "

No matter which young master or girl fell into the water or what happened to them, they would all suffer the same fate.

Lin Shu immediately said: "Now is not the time to ask about these, quickly go and save them."

She even asked if there were any maidservants who knew how to use water and followed them. Even if they couldn't save someone at a critical moment, it would be good for them to stand to the side and lend a hand.

Lin Hui also walked in, "Sister Shu, let's go take a look too?"

"Do you think it's not messy enough?" In front of her, Lin Shu was like a big sister, "If we go over now, and something happens, wouldn't that be adding fuel to the fire? I've already sent someone to the courtyard to invite the elders over. It won't be long before we find out what exactly happened.

Lin Hui could only agree.

However, it was as if those few wives had never returned. Not only did they not return, even the girls and young masters that were on the boat did not return.

Lin Shu also vaguely sensed that something was amiss, she was afraid that something big was going to happen.

The first to disembark was the pale-faced Lin Lian. Even though she was supported by the maidservants beside her, she still staggered as she disembarked, and if the maidservants beside her hadn't reacted so quickly, she would have fallen flat on her face.

After that, a few girls disembarked, but their expressions were all ugly. There were even some who were timid, as if Lu Yanyu was already crying from fear.

Lin Shu hurried forward, grabbed Lin Lian's wrist and asked: "Lian Jieer, what's going on?"

Lin Lian's mouth twitched, but she could not utter a single word for a long while.

Lin Hui could not wait any longer and shouted, "What exactly is going on? Say something! "

Lin Lian cried out.

Among them, a slightly braver girl said, "Duke Chengan Palace, Duke Chengan Palace... "He's gone. He was found dead in the water …"

"Gone? Why is it gone? " 's previous life might have been filled with resentment towards Shao Xi, but she had lived a new life, and many things had already been seen light. When she thought about how a lively and beautiful girl like her had disappeared in just an hour, she was still a little stunned, "Just now, when Shao Xi was riding the boat, was there no maid who knew how to water? Those servant girls saw their master fall into the water, why didn't they go and save him? "

This was a little too inconceivable.

However, what the young lady said next made Lin Shu even more baffled. Not only was it the young miss from the Duke Chengan Palace, even the servant girl and the woman who knew water was dead! That old woman … And it was drowned! "

Even Lin Shu was stunned, the woman who was brought in, Xiao Shui must be powerful, if not she would not have been chosen and drowned? Only a fool would believe that?

When she finally understood what was going on, quite a few girls also understood what was going on, and quite a few of them started to cry.

Although they didn't come up with the idea to pluck the lotus seed heads, now that someone had died, none of them could get away from it!
