Three women playing together, the main hall of Fanghua Garden was currently in a mess, all of them looking nervous.
Waiting until Lin Shu went over, the Madam Zhu said in a low voice, "... At that time, when the few of us went to the back mountain, we did not expect to meet the County Prince Palace's County Prince s and Fifth Miss s at all. At that time, Fifth Miss was holding onto the County Prince's sleeves and crying like pear blossoms with rain, she did not even have a maid waiting to serve him, and at that time, when the Duke Chengan s saw us, they raised their feet and wanted to leave. At that time, the few madam's ladies present almost all looked at the Duke Chengan Palace's County Prince s as they grew up, so even with a glance, they could tell who he was. "
Saying that, she shook her head and sighed: "At that time, I vaguely saw Fifth Miss pulling on Duke Chengan's sleeves and not telling him to leave, but who would have thought that Duke Chengan would actually push Fifth Miss to the ground … When the few of us went over, Fifth Miss only cried and did not say a word. She asked if any of your clan's elders came over with you, but she only shook her head.
"I never thought that Duke Chengan s from the Duke Chengan Palace would actually seem like people who had taken responsibility since young. I never would have thought that they would actually be able to do such a thing … Forget it, now is not the time to talk about all these. Today, Fifth Miss is still staying at the Dafu Temple, and said that she wanted to pray for your Grand Madam. I think that little girls don't know their place, but you elders cannot ignore it, so the most important thing is to find a way out. "
The Zhu Clan's Madam looked as if she was truly anxious.
Lin Shu obediently sat beside Madam Lian, but in her heart she couldn't help but think that Lin Lian was really good at scheming!
He did not say a word after what had happened, it would definitely provoke a lot of people to suppress Shao Shengping, and if these rumors were to spread, it would only become more and more intense, and at that time, how would Shao Shengping be able to say anything if he wanted to come out and rescue his? If the two of them could be said to be innocent, then why would they meet in the mountains behind Dafu Temple?
As for Lin Lian, she had thrown this hot potato to her mother. Now that she had hidden herself in the Dafu Temple and had not revealed herself, she had allowed her mother's imagination to run wild. Although his mother's origin was not obvious, his Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion was still not something that people could bully. At that time, it would be even more impossible for the Duke Chengan Palace to deny it.
Lin Lian was used to feigning pity. She hadn't expected that this trick would be of great use to her.
First Madam panicked, "What, what should we do?" Today, the two ladies of the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion had already set a marriage for sure. If a mere concubine really ruined the reputation of the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, then it was not impossible for the two to annul the marriage in anger. After all, marrying a wife and marrying a wife was equivalent to marrying a young lady of an aristocratic family.
Madam Lian had already calmed down after the initial panic, "Since things have already come to this, what else can we do? Although the Lian Jieer was a concubine, her father was still a Assistant Minister of the Third Rank. If the Duke Chengan Palace really looked down on him, how could their family's County Prince do such a thing? This matter should not have been decided earlier, if not, the reputation of all the young ladies in Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion would have been ruined as well. " Her Sister Shu was not set for marriage yet.
In terms of decisiveness, apart from Grand Madam, no one else could match up to him within the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion.
The Zhu Family's wife could not hide the astonishment on her face, "Fifth Madam means to propose marriage to the Duke Chengan's Palace?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I meant! It's for the best that this matter has not been announced and decided yet! " Even though Madam Lian had not been a butler for many years, her actions and actions were still swift and decisive. She merely ordered a handful of people to go find Lin Pei.
With this kind of matter, how could she, a Aunt Di, discuss it with the new Madam Sang? It didn't look like it at all, so he might as well give it to Lin Pei and Duke Chengan.
She had done what she had to do.
After First Madam and Madam Lian left the Zhu Family's wife for dinner, they sent someone to send the Zhu Family's wife out. On the way, they waited for Lin Shu to accompany the Madam Lian back to the Fanghua Garden, and the two even chatted endlessly, "... Mother, do you think that County Prince Palace will be willing to marry Lian Jieer? "
In her past life, she and Shao Shengping's marriage had been calculated by his, but that scheme of hers wasn't even 10% of what Lin Lian used today. It was just that in her past life, her stepmother was the Princess Changze, her father was the Assistant Minister of the Third Rank, and he was also the direct descendant of the Duke Chengan Palace. But in this life, Shao Shengping married Lin Lian, heh, then there will be a good show to watch.
"Whether you are willing or not is not something that the County Prince s of Duke Chengan Palace can decide. Since things have come to this point, regardless of whether the relationship between them is pure or not, do you think that the County Prince s of Duke Chengan Palace can cast aside their relationship?" The mother and daughter holding hands as they walked along the stone path, she slowly said: "If the County Prince Palace really does not want to marry the Lian Jieer as a wife due to an excuse, regardless of whether he will be able to attend high school this time, based on his character, who would dare to marry a lady like him?"
After saying that, she patted Lin Shu's hands, "Let your father have a headache about this matter. Even if Auntie Zhong did that kind of thing before, your father still dotes on him from the bottom of his heart.
She had some understanding of this man.
Lin Pei went to the Duke Chengan Palace overnight, and a string of accusations caused the Duke Chengan to not be able to lift his head. Although the Duke Chengan was a Duke Master, but his official journey was not as smooth as before, adding that his brain was not as sharp as Lin Pei's, in the end, he did not know why he agreed to such a marriage.
On the second day, Duke Chengan called his son into the study room. After he finished talking about this matter, Shao Shengping's face was exceptionally ugly.
In these few years, he had gotten used to discussing things with his son, big and small. But how could he agree to such a big matter in private?
However, thinking about it, didn't his son's marriage have always been decided by him since ancient times? "I always knew you had your own ambitions. Originally, because of your marriage, your mother had received gossip from many people outside, saying that she was not competent as a stepmother, that she was delaying you, that she wanted to help you with your marriage, that you had always had an idea, and that there would be more room for choice if you decided to wait until the release of the marriage."
"But now that something like this has happened, even if we don't agree to this marriage, would it spread out?" "Tell me, although this Fifth Miss is born from a concubine, I asked your mother about it last night. I said that her looks and character are all good, and that she was even praised by the Elder Jiangge Mistress …"
"Your looks and personality are all good? When did Father learn to judge people by their appearance? " Shao Shengping had already sensed that he had been tricked yesterday, but he never thought that Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion would move so quickly. Now, with a stomach full of anger that could not be dispersed, he only said with his head held high: "If she really looks like he has a good temper, then where would she do such shameless things? I will not marry this woman. "
Duke Chengan was surprised, "What do you mean? What happened to the Fifth Miss s of the Duke Chengan Palace? "
Shao Shengping felt that his father was extremely stupid, and it was no wonder that the situation of the Duke Chengan Palace was getting worse, "Do you know what title the Fifth Miss had used to invite me out yesterday? At that time, I was thinking that Shao Xi had died in unknown circumstances, and that he was still my younger sister, so I didn't think too much about it. But who would have known that when she saw me, she would start crying and chattering non-stop about the things he said, but there wasn't a single word that was useful. "
"At that time, I didn't think too much and just patiently listened, but who knew that there were footsteps coming from not too far away. At that time, I felt that something was wrong and wanted to lift my leg to leave, but who knew that she would not let me go? I was in a hurry to leave, so I didn't let her decide what to do next, did I? "
"On the other hand, you, I never thought that just a few words from Assistant Minister Lin would be enough to trick you. Who knows if this is a scheme set up by Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion?"
Duke Chengan was a little dumbfounded, "What you mean is … Assistant Minister Lin has a share in this matter? "
He thought about it carefully, then shook his head, "I saw that Assistant Minister Lin's anger last night didn't seem to be fake …"
"Can you be considered Assistant Minister Lin? If you were as good as half of the Assistant Minister Lin, you wouldn't have stayed at the fifth stage for so many years! " Shao Shengping was truly angered, he couldn't care less about what he said, "Even if Assistant Minister Lin doesn't know about Lin Lian's scheme, but after what has happened, he knows what to do. Yesterday, I already sent people to investigate and said that during this period of time, there was someone who proposed for Lin Lian, it's fine if the family did not reveal it, but the person who was born was also mediocre and honest, say, if you are Assistant Minister Lin, won't you seize this rare opportunity? "Tell me, father and daughter are really the same kind of people."
This time, Duke Chengan was completely dumbstruck. After thinking for a while, he said softly, "Then, then what should we do? "I already agreed to this marriage last night …"
"Isn't this easy? Didn't someone reveal their intention to marry a few days ago? While stabilizing Assistant Minister Lin, you should first settle the matter regarding my marriage. At that time, I will only tell Assistant Minister Lin that my marriage has already been decided, and if Assistant Minister Lin really thinks that there's something between me and Lin Lian, then that's fine, let's have Lin Lian enter the door to be our concubine! " In Shao Shengping's opinion, such a woman was not even worthy of being her concubine!
