"Lin Shu, tell me what's going on in your head!" This woman, she came back and forth with a lot of desires, but he could not see through the woman in front of him at all. If it was said that she was ruthless and merciless, and had her defending her mother, and that she did not care about her reputation, but did not tolerate's good intentions and followed along with her Third Prince's Mansion, what was she thinking?

Lin Shu frowned, "Everything is fine, why did Uncle Jingtang ask about that?"

Saying that, she remembered what Eighth Prince had said, "Did Uncle Jingtang drink too much? Why don't I get the little girl to bring a cup of Awakened Wine Tea to Uncle Jingtang? "

After saying this, she pretended to turn around and leave. The same drunkard wouldn't be able to explain anything.

However, just as she took two steps, her wrist was grabbed by the person behind her. That faint smell of alcohol came from her face, "Do I look like I drank too much?"

Lin Shu looked up and saw that his eyes were shining brightly, as if there were stars hidden in the sky.

This person's appearance was different from when a person was drunk. Some people would fall asleep, while some people would talk nonsense, such as Lin Shu who drank too much and would only hug the person beside him and giggle like a chatterbox. As for Lu Jingran, this time, Lin Shu was not sure if he drank too much or not.

It was only now that he realized that Lu Jingran's eyes were very beautiful, her eyelashes were long and dense, the autumn sunlight shone on his face, and a shadow was cast under his eyelids … Lin Shu struggled up, "Uncle Jingtang, what are you doing?"

She panicked!

Perhaps it was because he was a little drunk in front of others, when Lu Jingran saw the panic on his face, he felt that it was a little interesting, "So Fourth Miss was also scared at some point in time?"

Lin Shu took a deep breath, "Is Uncle Jingtang really drunk? Quick, let go! "

"I thought Fourth Miss wasn't afraid of anything anymore!" The more Lin Shu shouted at him to relax, the more he refused to let go, "Could it be that in the heart of the Fourth Miss, I am even more terrifying than the First Princess Pingning and the Princess Changze?"

Of course you're afraid! No matter how vicious and vicious First Princess Pingning and Princess Changze are, you haven't done anything like murdering your own mother or killing your little brother in your previous life!

With this thought in mind, Lin Shu only dared to smile and say: "Uncle Jingtang, I think you've really drank too much! At first, when I drank too much of the wine, I only felt my head grow dizzy, and the taste of the sobering tea was not good, so I didn't really like it. However, after I spat out the sour plum soup, I felt a little better in my stomach … "

Lu Jingran loosened his grip on her wrist, but Lin Shu's hand only moved slightly, and in the next moment he was grabbed by Lu Jingran, "Fourth Miss wants to escape?"

The same drunk person really couldn't reason at all. Lin Shu only thought that she was really drunk and said with a smile, "Uncle Jingtang, I, I was just looking for the little girl to make some sour plum soup for you …"

From the looks of it, he wouldn't be able to run away.

Lu Jingran grabbed her hand and walked towards the small pavilion, and patted on the stone bench, "Come sit with me for a while!"

Saying that, Lu Jingran gave her a deep look, "Don't try to run, you won't be able to."

Lin Shu rubbed her wrist that was slightly sore, and looked at her with hatred. From the start, she did not plan to run, with her physique, she would probably be caught up by Lu Jingran before she could even take three steps, when the others saw her, they would think that they were playing around, "Uncle Jingtang, I won't run."

As far as the eye could see, it was a field of golden yellow, and the faint fragrance of the miasma flowers wafted from the tip of her nose. If she were to calm down, she would even be able to hear the sound of waves lapping on the reefs by the lakeside not too far away, and everything would seem exceptionally calm.

Lu Jingran, however, did not say a single word.

Lin Shu's heart quieted down along with him, and she also slightly relaxed her guard, "I heard that Uncle Jingtang's alcohol capacity is very good? "Even if you have a good tolerance for alcohol, you should at least stop and worry about your own body. Originally, I heard from the servant girl beside me that there was an old man in his manor who wished that he could drink three cups of wine a day. He was originally well, but once when he drank too much, he accidentally slipped into the river, and by the time someone discovered him, his corpse would have already been soaked white …"

Lu Jingran laughed, his expression a little bitter, "If I had the status of the Third Prince, wouldn't I have drunk a few cups at the banquet? But I'm not like that, how could I not drink when all the princes come over to toast?"

After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Even though you aren't liked by your family, you are the direct daughter of the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, and your status is still there. I am different from you, I was born in a concubine, if you were the youngest son of the National Duke Ning, then it would be fine, but you are still the eldest son, this identity … Heh, no matter how embarrassed I am, I cannot blame anyone for always seeing me as a thorn in their side. "

In her two lives, Lin Shu had always been the direct daughter of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion. She had never understood why Lin Lian cared so much about her identity … But now that she saw Lu Jingran's expression, she somewhat understood.

Normally, Lu Jingran was either arrogant, despotic, or victorious, but he never had such an expression, such loneliness.

She could even imagine how embarrassing it must have been for Lu Jingran, that powerful being in that room, to be present … If he was teased by others, would he not even dare to say anything back?

Lin Shu had originally wanted to tell them the story of how she had saved Lu Jingran's life many years ago, but after thinking about it, she decided not to!

However, Lu Jingran always remembered this, "You are still young, and might not know that it was difficult for the children of my Aunt Di to get pregnant, and her status is noble, and he has the support of the Empress Zhang, and the is also present in the palace, but even my father did not dare casually mention that he wanted to take a concubine, and in the end, it was Grandmother who did not want to see the son of the National Duke Ning with difficulty, and feared that the ancestors of the Lu Family would have to face his in the future, and thus decided to give my father a concubine. This person is my biological mother."

"In my memory, I didn't have any impression of her birth mother, but I do have some impression of the Aunt Di. At that time, how much did she care about me, how difficult it was for her child to come here, so it wasn't her own. I still remember one time when she carried me to play in the flower garden when I was very young. Back then, because of the wet nurse's negligence, she forgot to give me my cape. She took off her cape and wrapped it around me.

At this point, he sneered and couldn't continue.

If the National Duke Ning had never treated him sincerely, then he would not be filled with hatred. After all, all the Aunt Di in the world treated their children like concubines, so how could he expect the Aunt Di to treat his children so wholeheartedly? That was simply a pipe dream!

Lin Shu slightly sighed, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, you will definitely rise to prominence in the future, and trample all those people who look down on you under your feet!" Lu Jingran had done it in his previous life.

"Outstanding?" All these years, if Lu Jingran had not remembered this one word, he would not have been able to hold on for so long, "Heh, such a simple word, but it is definitely not as simple as what Fourth Miss imagined it to be … Since ancient times, my grandmother had only wished for me to learn from the books, but since ancient times, there have been so many scholars studying in the Daqing Dynasty, not to mention becoming a warrior, how many had actually managed to pass the High Scholar examination? How could the path of a civil servant be so easy? "Many of the High Scholars are High Scholars, but all of their lives, they have been nothing more than a small official."

"If there really comes a day when I stand on the wrong side of the group, I'm afraid that the life of this old and young from Lian Family will be lost along with me … Unlike military officials who have military power, no matter who inherits in the end, in the end, it will have no influence at all. "

This was the benefit of being a martial general!

When Aunt Di gave birth to his first brother, his grandfather had analyzed the pros and cons clearly in his critical moments. At that time, he had also said that if Aunt Di truly decided to give up on martial arts, he would bring him the best teacher in Daqing Dynasty … However, in the end, he still chose a path that belonged to the Lu Family, the fastest path that would allow him to emerge victorious.

Lin Shu did not know how to advise him otherwise. Could it be that in the future, he would become an official, perhaps even surpassing National Duke Ning? If she really did say it, she would probably be treated as a lunatic!

After thinking for a bit, she only said, "Now that the King Rui is flocking together in Fujian, even with the empress dowager's support, even if he is a relative of the emperor, the emperor doesn't say anything. But the Uncle Jingtang thought about it, if you are the emperor, how can you not be afraid? Furthermore, barbarians often invade from the northwest, and since Duke Cheng is over sixty years old now, I'm afraid that he will not be able to live for long in the northwest.

In the end, he could not even enter the battlefield before returning to the capital. When he was gravely ill, he even personally went to the palace, and begged the Emperor to protect the last bloodline of the National Duke Ning Palace!

The old National Duke Ning originally had three sons, but in the end, only the National Duke Ning was left. His two youngest sons had both died in battle, and the eldest son hadn't even found his corpse.

Otherwise, the National Duke Ning would not be safe and sound in the capital anymore.

"It's not like I haven't thought about your words before, I also want to go to the battlefield to gain some experience, but no matter if it's my grandmother or father, neither of them support me coming from the martial path, or else they wouldn't have let me come back from the Tianjin." Although his grandmother and father scolded him every day, he was more clear than anyone else who was truly concerned about him.
