Lin Shu and Lin Hui really had a mutual understanding. Once she went to look for Lin Hui, Lin Hui pulled her into the house and closed the door. "Where did you run off to? Just now, Nanny Wei came to find me a few times, I think that she must have something bad going on, so I told Xiangzi to go out and ask. Nanny Wei said that you were gone, and I thought that you were always a nice person, so I instructed Xiangzi to say that I was taking a nap, and that we can talk about it later.
"Fortunately, I know you can be relied on!" Lin Shu could not help but heave a long sigh. She did not take the Nanny Wei to heart, but she did not want these small matters to affect her mood.
Then, she ordered Actinin Qin to find Nanny Wei, and said that she saw Lin Hui taking a nap, and she went to Lin Hui's study by herself, not even bothering to say anything.
When Actinin Qin got off the stage, Lin Hui grabbed her hand. She wanted to ask her something, but suddenly shouted in a sharp voice, "Sister Shu, you … Why is there blood on your sleeve? "
Today, Lin Shu was wearing a lotus root colored pomegranate dress. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to see the bloodstains on her sleeves.
Lin Shu lowered her head to look. The speck of blood was actually mixed with the pomegranate pattern on her sleeve.
"How can I not ask?" Lin Hui's face revealed some worry, but he had the look of a big sister, "You went out for so long already, and there are even blood stains on your sleeves. How can I not be worried? If he really was going out to visit the rouge shop, why would he need to hide it from Nanny Wei? Even if Green Pine Academy didn't agree, Fifth Aunt would … What's going on? "
If it was the past, Lin Shu might have even told her about today's matter, but today, she would not say anything.
Lin Hui's marriage was set to happen in the autumn of next year. Although Lin Hui had agreed to it, Lin Hui's face was not smiling at all, and even though her face was slowly growing, her eyes were not breathing at all, and even more so, she threw the matter of embroidery to Xiang Zai and the rest … She felt sad.
Thinking to this point, Lin Shu said, "Third sister, don't ask anymore. I'm fine, and I won't leave home without permission in the future …. "The blood on my sleeve isn't mine. If you don't believe me, just look at me, I'm perfectly fine now …"
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing a pair of white and tender arms.
Only then did Lin Hui relax a bit, "But if you didn't say anything, I would have been worried about you for a long time …"
If she did, she would be even more worried!
Lin Shu just laughed and started to talk about other things, "... Do you know what I heard when I went out? They said that the authorities had already found out about Shao Xi's case, that Shao Xi was harmed by that wife, and after that wife killed Shao Xi and the little girl by Shao Xi's side, she committed suicide.
In fact, thinking about it, it was within reason. On that day, those who were invited to visit Dafu Temple were all respectable families, and if the officials did not come to a conclusion, then where would they place the dignity of the young masters and maidens?
Just for this reason, the Duke Chengan Palace would always ask the government to close the case hastily in order to settle the matter. Duke Chengan did not have the ability to see, but Shao Shengping could understand the crux of it.
"I was just about to tell you about it." Lin Hui became interested again as she lowered her voice: "This morning, my mother told me about this matter as well, and said directly that Duke Chengan is a capable person. A few days ago, he started going to the First Princess Pingning Palace, but I haven't seen him for a while, and even the entire First Princess Pingning Palace doesn't seem to have any good feelings towards him. But it seems like he doesn't know it, as he continuously went to the First Princess Pingning Palace for a few days, and only then did First Princess Pingning see him."
"Originally, First Princess Pingning Palace and Duke Chengan Palace didn't plan on interacting anymore, but yesterday, I don't know what method Duke Chengan used to convince First Princess Pingning to make this kind of relationship … My sister only said that Duke Chengan from the Duke Chengan Palace would definitely be a huge figure in a few years! "
Others might not understand Shao Shengping, but Lin Shu did.
Some people would even suspect that Shao Xi's death was related to the Duke Chengan Palace, but Shao Shengping had the ability to turn his disadvantage into an advantage, she could even imagine what Shao Shengping said to the First Princess Pingning two days ago, it was just that he would lower his head in the beginning, and then, he would list out the disadvantages that would have if he were to marry into the First Princess Pingning Palace alive. In the end, no matter if Shao Xi was alive or dead, this marriage would definitely happen.
Furthermore, he would even say that Shao Xi's death, would mean that they were genuine Yin Kinfatuation, and that they would benefit the reputation of the First Princess Pingning Palace unharmed.
In this way, even the First Princess Pingning could not help but think that if the Duke Chengan Palace really took action and killed Shao Xi, then that would be using their hearts to do so …
First Princess Pingning had a much higher opinion of Shao Shengping, the younger generation. In the end, he did not forget to say, "With how smart you are and how practical you are, you will definitely be able to enter the Pavilion in the future."
However, all of these were just Lin Shu's guesses, "Does that mean that this Duke Chengan is related to the First Princess Pingning by blood?"
Lin Hui nodded her head, "Then won't we have to call the Duke Chengan Palace's County Prince elder cousin in the future?"
As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something and lowered her voice a bit, "In this way, won't the relationship between the Lian Jieer and County Prince s of the Duke Chengan Palace be even closer? Sister Shu, what do you think Lian Jieer is planning? In the past few days, there have also been people who came to propose marriage for her, but I saw that my grandmother and her meant that they looked down on those young masters from small clans, but I don't know who she would marry in the end! "
Lin Shu did not have the mood to care about this adulterous couple, she laughed: "Third sister, you're about to get married, why are you still worried about the Lian Jieer? If you have the skill, why don't you think of yourself … Yesterday, Lu Suiyu sent me a purse. Am I under your care? "
"What kind of good stuff haven't you seen before? It's just a purse, why is it so rare?" Lin Hui couldn't even remember what the Huaiyin looked like. That day, she didn't even look at him and said, "If you like it, I'll give this money bag to you."
Lin Shu laughed and said: "It's not about the payment, but how my sister-in-law thinks of you. Think about it, we've only met Lu Suiyu a few times already, and we wish we hadn't even spoken to each other. How did she send us the payment just like that? Isn't it because you're about to become her sister-in-law? It's enough to show that this little girl knows her limits, and she already knows that she's weak before you even enter the door … That's not good? "
Harmony was the hardest thing to come by in a family. Although a girl born in a concubine was nothing in the eyes of others, if a person like Lin Lian became bad, it would still make people feel that it was unfair.
Lin Hui pursed her lips, "What's so good about that?"
In any case, she didn't like the marriage, and she hadn't been able to figure out what was so good about it until now.
Lin Shu also knew what kind of personality Lin Hui had, and knew that she wouldn't be able to rush such things. She only advised her a little before returning.
Just as she walked to the Linglong Pavilion entrance, Lin Shu saw the Nanny Wei hurrying over, her face still carrying a few expressions as she sized him up, "... Where did Fourth Miss go? "
Lin Shu calmly said: "In Third Sister's courtyard. Why, Nanny Wei is looking for me?"
"It's nothing, just that I haven't seen Fourth Miss for a few hours. I was afraid that something might have happened to him …" After all, the Nanny Wei grew up with the Grand Madam, and had seen a bit of the world, so it was not that easy to fool, "It's just that on the side of the Third Miss, I went to look for them and asked a few Maid s about it. Those Maid s said that they did not see the Fourth Miss."
Lin Shu couldn't even be bothered to care about her, and started walking towards the courtyard, "Did Nanny Wei look for every corner of the courtyard? If not, then don't say such words! Furthermore, Nanny Wei seemed to have done something that I shouldn't have. I was merely swinging my Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion a few times, could it be that I have to tell you everything? "
Yun Dou also muttered behind her, "The Nanny Wei is so broad, what other dangers can this lady be in the mansion? "I think this is what you call spying on a girl..."
Nanny Wei's face turned pale white, but she still saw Lin Shu bringing Yun Dou into the house with him.
The moment Lin Shu entered, she instructed Actinin Qin: "... In the next few days, go out of the manor and ask them to bring Wang Pei's servant to the capital city. I do want to see how wild Princess Changze can be for a few more days. "
Actinin Qin hesitated, "But Miss, that day Master bribed someone to kill Wang Pei, what does that have to do with Princess Changze? Can you really topple Princess Changze? "
If the Princess Changze was that easy to deal with, he wouldn't be so arrogant to this point.
Lin Shu laughed, "It's not enough to just have that villain taken away by the Eighth Prince. Everyone knows that the empress dowager is extremely protective. Even if Princess Changze did something shameful before, it wouldn't be a big deal. The empress dowager would at most scold her a little once she found out about it. If Eighth Prince brought today's matter all the way to Esteemed Empress Dowager, she might be the first to protect her. "
"Then why …" Actinin Qin found it embarrassing to say that she was lying to Eighth Prince, but thinking about it, she did not lie to Eighth Prince about what had happened today, nor did she speak the truth.
Lin Shu said softly, "That's why I wanted to bring that servant who was with Wang Pei to the capital. It's not enough just having Eighth Prince s."
To Empress Dowager Wang, the back of his hand was just meat. It was true that she loved Princess Changze, but Wang Pei was her blood relative. If the truth were to be revealed, there was no guarantee who the Empress Dowager Wang would turn to … As for the matter of Lin Pei sending people to kill Wang Pei, if any inklings of it were revealed, the Princess Changze would not care about it and take it over, this was a woman!
