If one were to say that Lin Pei was good at scheming, then he was not bad either. He knew what Lin Pei valued the most, and he also knew what he valued the most.

Even if the Empress Zhang scolded Chen Yu in front of everyone, Chen Yu's status would not change. If he was engaged to Chen Yu, then not to mention that his career in the future would be smoother, even Lin Pei did not dare say anything.

Right now, Lin Pei even dreamed of entering the pavilion, so how could he dare to offend the Grand Secretary Chen?

This person's heart was truly the most vicious thing in the world!

Every day, there was a commotion as if she wanted to go find Lin Pei. But even if Lin Pei had returned to the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, he had never gone to look for Lin Lian. He only sent a message to Madam Lian, telling him to prepare a good dowry for Lin Lian.

When Madam Lian and Lin Shu talked about this, they all had a bit of regret on their faces, "... I wonder what Auntie Zhong would think when she sees her own daughter in such a state. She has been concubine to your father for her entire life, and even though she was valued highly by your grandmother, she couldn't even raise her head. She only hoped that her daughter could get married well.

"What are you doing?" "Back then, she wasn't willing to marry into a Humble Class household, so she could only marry into the Duke Chengan Palace as a concubine. Although the few granddaughters of the Grand Secretary Chen family rarely showed their faces, I heard that they were all powerful people, not only did they have pretty faces and outstanding morals. I heard that from the very beginning that there was an old mama of the palace who had taught them about etiquette and rules.

Although the young lady of the Chen family had married a crippled Fifth Prince, the Fifth Prince had always been raised under the name of the Empress Zhang. Although the Empress Zhang was afraid of the princes beside them fighting for the throne with their own sons, he had never placed the Fifth Prince in his eyes.

In his last life, the young miss of the Chen family became the Fifth Prince’s Concort, the Chen family's Second Miss became the Eighth Prince's Consort, and the Chen family's Third Miss became the wife of the National Duke Ning — the wife of Lu Jingran in his previous life, the person Shao Shengping missed the most.

When she thought of Lu Jingran once again, Lin Shu couldn't help but think of the letter that she would reply to for a long time … What did he do?

The Madam Lian only patted her hand, "According to what you have said, the Chen family's Second Miss is also powerful. If they knew about the matter between the Lian Jieer and Duke Chengan Palace's County Prince, how could they tolerate the Lian Jieer? "Sigh, she's also living a bitter life …" She only felt that the Auntie Zhong had skewered Lin Lian.

Lin Shu laughed, "Then you should at least give Lin Lian 2000 taels of silver." Just treat it as taking pity on her.

When she passed away in her previous life, Eighth Prince and Eighth Prince's Consort were in harmony, even the Chen family's Second Miss was very popular, how did this life change?

However, just based on this ability, it was clear that the Chen Family's Second Miss was not simple.

The two of them were talking when they saw Xiangtong poking her head out from outside.

Madam Lian looked and laughed: "I won't be keeping you, I'm afraid Sis Hui'er is looking for you again."

Then, Lin Shu followed Xiangtong to Lin Hui's courtyard. It had been a month since then, and the wedding dress in Lin Hui's hand had only been embroidered a single sleeve. And this sleeve was actually embroidered only because First Madam had followed behind her all day long, urging her to sew it up.

When Lin Hui saw Lin Shu, she laughed and said: "Sister Shu, big sister Qing Qing has sent me a message again. Did you receive the message?"

She would even dream of going out for a walk.

Lin Shu nodded her head, "I did receive the invitation from the Lateral Consort Zhang, but I do not plan to go." In a dragon's lagoon like Third Prince's Mansion, one could leave as far as possible.

"Why not? Don't you feel bored while you're stuck in Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion all day? " Lin Hui was really simple, at her age, she still thought that the person who was smiling at her was a good person, "Do you not like the idea of clearing up your sister? Last time, she told me that she did not write to you after you followed Fifth Aunt to the Manor, and I'm afraid that she started to blame her. She said that she had her own difficulties too, that Zhang Family cannot compare to Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, and cannot compare to Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, which has its own background. "Originally, she had planned to talk about this matter with Grandma Zhangda, but seeing that Grandma Zhangda is troubled over trivial matters at home, she found it hard to speak about it …"

"Sigh, she even said that you've always been thinking too much. I'm afraid you wouldn't believe her even if she said that, so we just stopped talking. But, the three of us were still good kids, how did we end up like this?"

She had a pure heart and Lin Shu was not willing to let her see how dark the world was. She only laughed: "It's not that I don't believe you, but it's just that the third big sister's heart must be on guard. Do you think that she will be on the same side as us? From a young age, our living environment is simple. Forget about how she was before, I'm afraid that her thoughts will never be the same as before. "

Third sister, listen to what I have to say. If you are willing to befriend her, I won't stop you, but you have to be more careful in everything. You can't win against her.

There were some things that she couldn't say too bluntly. After all, choosing to befriend someone was Lin Hui's choice, the only thing she could do was to give a few points, something that she couldn't force herself.

"I, I naturally know that you are doing this for my own good. But Sister Shu, she, what can she use me for?" Lin Hui, however, was a little confused.

Lin Shu laughed, there were some things she couldn't say clearly.

Just a small matter like this was enough to show a person's personality.

Lin Hui hurriedly continued: "Since you said that we can't go to the Third Prince's Mansion, then we can't go …. Sister Shu, I naturally believe in you. "

Although he didn't mean what he said, it was extremely warm.

Lin Shu said: "Don't worry, third sister won't harm you either... I heard from Xiangtong that you have been in contact with the Lateral Consort Zhang quite a bit during this period? "

"That's right, she often writes to me these days, and sometimes she even sends me some gadgets." Lin Hui was one of the rarest of these things, but after hearing what Lin Shu said, she decided that it would be better for him to keep all the things she had said, and then pick a few good things from her mother's storage room, which could be considered as a break, "But don't worry, I will keep her at a distance from me in the future."

Lin Shu said: "There is no need for that, in the future, you should watch out for everything." By the way, shouldn't she be busy now? "Why would you have the mood to post to us, saying that you want to hold a banquet?"

"At first, I thought it was strange, but from what she said, it seems like the Third Prince has been very busy over this period of time. Thus, he stayed in the study room all day to talk to the aides." Lin Hui spoke carelessly, "It's a good thing that the Third Prince stays in the study room all day, if the Third Prince were to stay at the Third Princess or the Lateral Consort Wang's place, let alone hold a banquet, I'm afraid she would not even be able to eat."

Not only did the Third Prince know how to act, he also looked good and was kind to others. It was no wonder that Zhang Yuanqing only had the Third Prince in his eyes.

Thinking about the chaotic Third Prince's Mansion, Lin Shu felt that her choice was the right one, "Third Princess only has one daughter, I want to see which one of the three women has a son …"

The cruelty of the Third Prince's Mansion was probably not one whit inferior to that of the Imperial Palace.

As for Zhang Yuanqing, he received the post from Lin Shu and Lin Hui in the evening. Seeing that the words of the two in the letter were about the same, he ruthlessly threw the letter on the ground.

All of the servant girls in the room kneeled down as they said, "Please calm your anger, Lateral Consort!"

To Zhang Yuanqing, calling his "Queen of Lateral Consort, please calm your anger" was equivalent to cheering him on. She immediately shouted sternly, "All of you, scram!" She rarely got so angry.

Actually, the anger in his heart had already simmered down for a few days. Although the Third Prince had been very busy lately and had not rested in any courtyard, he had only sent someone to deliver a basket of hawthorn stalks to Wang Manjing a few days ago.

Hawthorn was not a rare thing, but hawthorn sent by the third prince himself was quite rare.

Because of this, Zhang Yuanqing even sent people to investigate, and when he found out the results, he became even more angry.

It was a pity that the knowledgeable Wang Manjing was still young, and would always pick the most sour and astringent hawthorn. She had been in the palace for all these years, and had eaten all kinds of delicious foods, but she missed the taste of the hawthorn the most. To her, this wasn't just hawthorn, it was the taste of her hometown.

Originally, Zhang Yuanqing had always felt that he and Wang Manjing were on par with each other. What Wang Manjing had, the Third Prince would give to her as a gift, but with this basket of hawthorn fruits, he knew that he had lost.

She did not want to give up any of the chances to take Wang Manjing down.

But who knew that this time, not only Lin Shu, but even Lin Hui would not come … Zhang Yuanqing's heart burned with anger, but after thinking about it, he still ordered the kitchen to send a pot of soup to the study room.

She could not lose, she could not lose!

Little did he know that at this time, Third Princess had also sent someone to send some soup to the study room. When the Third Prince heard that two jars of soup were being delivered, his eyelids did not even look up. What exactly do you think Lu Jingran wants to do? Everyone says that he is a foppish young lad who drinks and makes trouble to support pinkies and plays, and that everything he has done is extremely unreliable, but I keep having the feeling that he is weird, at least not like he is on the surface! "

Hou Hou's aide on the side laughed mockingly, "Why is the third prince worried about him? The one you need to worry about right now is the Seventh Prince, he said that the Emperor has been resting at the Imperial Consort Li's side for the time being. " Although the imperial harem was not allowed to interfere, the imperial harem was closely related to the previous dynasty.
