Duke Chengan already knew that he had done the wrong thing, and could only leave this matter to his son.

As for Lin Lian, she had already returned to the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion by noon. Her eyes were as swollen as a walnut and her expression was haggard.

She sighed in her heart and said, "..." Even if you aren't my biological son, you still have to call me mother on a daily basis. I will still be responsible for what has happened, but you don't need to worry, your father already went to the Duke Chengan Palace last night, and said that he had already arranged a marriage between you and the County Prince Palace's County Prince. "

Pausing for a moment, she continued: Although no one from the Duke Chengan Palace has come to propose marriage, it is only a matter of a few days now, so in this period of time, don't copy the scriptures. I will send people to send some ingredients to the Falling Swallow Garden later.

"Thank you, mother." As these words came out, Lin Lian's tears were like pearls with their strings cut. "I've done such an ugly thing, and Mother is still so worried about me. I've let you down …"

Madam Lian's words were like a sharp knife that could slice through a piece of tofu. She waved her hand and said, "Forget it, there's no use talking about this now. You can go rest first."

Lin Lian felt that this matter was going too smoothly. She was not surprised at all by her father's actions, but how could the Madam Lian's side go so smoothly?

She secretly glanced at Lin Shu who was sitting on the Noble Consort's bed eating honey melon. She saw that Lin Shu seemed to be engrossed with her food and didn't even raise her head.

With a long sigh, Lin Lian left the room.

The Madam Lian also let out a long sigh as she looked at her back figure, "Forget it, she is quite pitiful at that time, she was also raised crooked by the Auntie Zhong, and now that she is going to be married off, the five thousand taels of silver prepared by the Duke Chengan Palace is probably far from enough. I think the two of us can just use another two thousand taels of silver to add to her dowry, and when the time comes, both the Sister Qian and the Sis Hui'er will have a hundred and eight pieces of dowry.

Two thousand silver was a small sum to her. What she cared more about was to have Lin Lian remember her good points at this moment. At that time, they would be able to help each other out with her Sister Shu.

Lin Shu, who had been eating the melon, finally raised her head, "Ugh, don't do such a foolish thing. How many poor commoners will remember your kindness after donating the two thousand silver taels to Lian Jieer? "The two thousand silver was like a drop in the bucket. After a loud 'gulping' sound, it stopped moving."

After saying that, she put down the silver fork and said meaningfully, "Moreover, the outcome of this marriage is still unknown."

Honestly speaking, she really wanted Lin Lian to marry Shao Shengping, this way, she would be able to experience the pain that she had to endure, even Lin Lian would have a taste of the first rank, letting her know how she had endured in her previous life …

But his wish was good, he wanted to see if Shao Shengping would give Lin Lian the chance to do so.

Madam Lian was stunned, "How could this marriage be? This morning, your father already sent word that he wanted me to start the preparations for Lian Jieer's marriage … "

"Father must have discussed this matter with Duke Chengan last night, but you rarely went out to travel. I'm afraid you don't know that most of the matters in the Duke Chengan Palace are managed by the County Prince Palace's County Prince, this marriage isn't child's play, how do you know that the Duke Chengan Palace's County Prince doesn't have any other thoughts?" Lin Shu spoke in a light and casual manner, if one had to understand, perhaps there were no one in the world who understood Shao Shengping better than her.

"Don't you think about how old the County Prince s of the Duke Chengan Palace are now? Ordinary young masters of families have children of his age, but once he does, the number of people who come to talk about marriage will not be small. Why is there a need for his marriage? If it wasn't for the fact that we could make a better marriage after the release of the list, why would we willingly take a concubine as our first wife? "

Madam Lian was stunned, "What you mean is, this marriage is not possible …"

Lin Shu thought for a bit, then shook his head, "I don't know if it will work, but I know that it won't go smoothly. If Father comes looking for you again because of this matter, you can use the excuse that you are not feeling well to push this matter over. It would be better to just hand this matter over to the Second Aunt, and furthermore, the Lian Jieer has been raised under her wing for a period of time! "

The Second Madam was not someone that was easy to deal with. When they first saw that the Grand Madam liked Lin Lian, their attitude towards his became better and better. In front of the Grand Madam, they even called his "darling". Lin Lian acted as if she didn't see anything … She wanted to see how the two of them would bite.

Madam Lian nodded her head, and did indeed throw the matter to Second Madam.

Originally, without Grand Madam's suppression, Second Madam would not be willing to get involved in this matter, but Second Madam was a person who did not take advantage of his earlier. How could anyone not be willing when they knew that Lin Lian was going to marry into the Duke Chengan Palace?

Although the Duke Chengan Palace was not considered a top-notch Honorable House, but things like this had always happened over thirty years, thirty years, and thirty years. Moreover, Shao Shengping was famous for his hard work and hard work in learning, so even if he could enter the pavilion in the future, it was not certain either. Just by this relationship, Second Madam agreed readily.

Even a fool would know that the Fifth Miss was about to have a good time waiting for a few bright red ingredients to be delivered to the Falling Swallow Garden.

Lin Lian had always been looked down upon by everyone. Now that they had found a good marriage, how could she not show off? In this way, there was no one in the He’s Mansion who did not know that she was going to be married into the Duke Chengan Palace as well.

However, Lin Shu didn't say anything, and only waited to see a joke.

Who knew that not even two days later, Cloudbean came in with a pout. "…" Miss, this Fifth Miss is too outrageous, relying on your own strength to marry into the Duke Chengan Palace, I'm afraid you do not even know how high the sky is anymore. "

"Everything's fine, what's the matter?" Lin Shu was holding a teacup, speaking slowly and deliberately.

She did not place a small figure like Lin Lian in her eyes.

Yun Dou simply did not see Actinin Qin looking at her, as though he was pouring beans into a bamboo tube, as he spouted out the words, "It's almost winter now, the cloth village outside had sent over some ingredients, saying that it was to make new clothes for the young ladies, regardless of whether it was according to the seniority or the direct disciples, Fifth Miss should be the last to be chosen, do you know what Cui Ping who was by Fifth Miss's side just now said?"

She raised her voice and said, "She said that the Fifth Miss is about to leave the pavilion and marry into the Duke Chengan Palace. As the big sister, you are always generous, so you should let the little sister, Fifth Miss, off. At that time, this servant was not too happy about what she said.

"But this servant is thinking about what you have taught me earlier, why should we be so calculative with these people, and why should you choose the Fifth Miss s over the rest of the materials? Why wouldn't the Fifth Miss dare to intercept the things that belonged to both the Second Miss and the Second Miss? At that time, Cui Ping had even said with a laugh that Second Miss and Third Miss were about to be married off, and now that I have changed into these new clothes, I will be brought back to your parents' home … "

Before she could finish her words, she was scolded by Actinin Qin: "Yun Dou, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Lin Shu did not mind, "What? Am I going to be upset about this in your hearts? They are already engaged, so what if I'm not? I wouldn't take such a thing to heart. "

If you marry early, you might not marry well, especially someone like Lin Lian.

This time, Actinin Qin felt that she was making too much of a fuss out of nothing, "This servant is afraid that this lady will be sad after hearing it …"

"Sad? What's there to be sad about? " Lin Shu really wished that she could marry a few years later. Now, with a slight smile, she looked at Yun Dou, "Then, tell me about those ingredients. Did you win?"

Of course I won. At that time, the servant said that there were rules in the house that stated the order of the young and the old, and even if the direct descendants were disregarded, the five ladies would not be the first to choose the ingredients. If the five of them felt wronged, they could just go and talk to the first wife …" Heh, at that time, when Cui Ping heard these words, she immediately became unhappy, and it was because the Fifth Miss wanted to marry into Cheng'an manor. She thought that the people there were all trying to curry favor with them, and thought that even the servants were afraid of her?

"This is really great!" Lin Shu praised her, but then turned and instructed her: "Actinin Qin, send those ingredients to the Falling Swallow Garden."

She was slapping Lin Lian's face!

It was just a few pieces of material, how could she take it to heart? Only that Yang Lian would be so angry that she would care about it. Even if she really became a Mrs. Shizi of the Duke Chengan Palace in the future, she would never be able to show off her skills.

Cloudbean raised her voice and said, "Miss, how can this be? This was something that this servant had gone through great difficulty to steal …"

However, Actinin Qin understood what Lin Shu meant, and tugged at Yun Dou, "What's the rush, the lady seemed like she wanted me to send the materials over to the Falling Swallow Garden, but in reality she's sending Fifth Miss a slap in the face."

Lin Shu nodded her head, and said: "Not only must we send her off, we must also let everyone know about her He’s Mansion, we must let everyone see just how great her reputation is right now." She understood Shao Shengping way too much, Shao Shengping had definitely planted someone into the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion secretly during this period of time, so when news of this reached Shao Shengping's ears, it would only make him hate Lin Lian even more.

This was what she wanted to see the most. In her previous life, the two of them could be considered to be in love. He was afraid that he wouldn't stop until he was dead!
