Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Yuanqing immediately smiled, came out to smooth things over, and took the Young Princess's hand, saying: "Elder sister, Sister Shu does not mean that …."
After she said that, she looked at Lin Shu, "Hurry up and go, if you anger Third Princess, I won't be able to help you." She spoke as if she had been planning to help Lin Shu from the beginning.
The fat Young Princess was already on Lin Shu, and there was no reason for Lin Shu to throw him out, she could only carry him out the door.
Zhang Yuanqing naturally sent a servant following him, saying that he had to take care of Lin Shu and Young Princess.
Although it was already the beginning of winter, the moment the sun shone down, Lin Shu still felt extremely warm. In her two lifetimes, Lin Shu had never been a mother, but she often teased Sister Pearl when she was at home, which made him quite good at handling children.
The servant following behind Lin Shu said softly: "What is going on with Young Princess?"
However, Lin Shu walked over and quietly took off Young Princess's clothes. This child kept on crying because she was hungry or uncomfortable, which was why the wet nurse said that Young Princess carried him out because she was fed. It must be because she was uncomfortable …
She thought for a moment, then said to the servant, "Go and get a cloak for Young Princess!"
"It's such a warm day …" The maid was called Yi Yun, who had grown up with Zhang Yuanqing. She was also a person who did things perfectly, but before she could finish saying that, she turned around and left.
Lin Shu became more and more assured.
She lifted up Young Princess's arm to look. Sure enough, she saw a few scars on her arm from the hairpin. "No wonder …"
Actinin Qin was also shocked, "Wh-who did this?"
"Who else could have done it? Other than Third Princess and Zhang Yuanqing, is there anyone else in the Third Prince's Mansion who would dare to treat Young Princess like this? " Lin Shu felt shamed, "When I return Young Princess to Third Princess, Third Princess will have an excuse, after all, the child was given to her, could it be that this mother will harm her own child?"
"And now my reputation …" When the time comes, everyone will think that it's because I resent the fact that the Third Princess rejected my face in front of everyone, and that's why I made such a vicious move, you can see, Third Princess and Zhang Yuanqing will definitely use this matter to threaten me, and at that time, if I do not help them fight Wang Manjing, they will want my reputation to follow them. "
Even though she doesn't have much to take into account now, she can't allow others to mess with me.
Actinin Qin panicked, "Then what do we do now... This matter really does not seem to be clear. "
Having a Zhang Yuanqing was already very troublesome, but now, there was another Third Princess.
The Young Princess in her arms cried non-stop. However, today, she was only two years old and could not even speak clearly. Lin Shu felt a little upset.
She knew, that if Wang Manjing's scheme against her in the Princess Changze were to be exposed, Wang Manjing would definitely not have any chance of survival, so what about her? No matter if it's the Empress Dowager Wang s, Wang Family, or the King Rui s, they would never let her off … Furthermore, she was standing on the same boat as and Third Princess. The next day, when the boat was about to sink, she would definitely be the first person to be thrown into the water …
Lin Shu felt that a long time had passed, and was hesitating on whether she should make the first move before Third Princess and Zhang Yuanqing, when a voice sounded in her ears, "Why is Fourth Miss holding Young Princess? Why does Young Princess keep on crying? "
The one who came was the Eighth Prince, Ouyang Zhao!
Eighth Prince also doted on her little niece, and immediately carried her over, "What happened?"
Only then did Lin Shu react, and spoke softly: "Just now, because Young Princess was crying non-stop, Third Princess told me to carry him for a walk, and said that Young Princess was afraid that because there were too many people in the house, she might not cry anymore. Who knew that after Young Princess came out, he cried even harder."
If the one here was Lu Jingran, she would definitely tell him the truth, but now, standing in front of her, Eighth Prince didn't know whether he should say these words or not.
Logically speaking, Third Princess was his first wife, why should Eighth Prince believe him?
Eighth Prince frowned and said: "Young Princess rarely cries before, even Queen Mother said that it must have been because of royal brother's temper. Since I was young, it's not good for me to be able to understand things and to cry, and there are even times when I purposely took away Young Princess's favorite drums, but not only is Young Princess not crying, sshe is even laughing …" It was also because of this reason that the Third Prince not only never blamed Third Princess, but he even held his hand and said, "Thank you for giving me the most lovable daughter in the world. I will definitely love her as if she was my life."
At that time, the Third Princess was extremely happy, she just felt that this man did not marry for nothing, but men always needed their son to inherit their family's business and inheritance. If this child was a son, then the Emperor would have doted on the Third Prince a lot … But these were all the Third Princess's thoughts, no one knew.
Lin Shu could not help but hesitate, as though now, other than the Eighth Prince, there was no one else.
She hesitated for a long time before raising Young Princess's sleeve, revealing Young Princess's white and tender arms. She moved closer to Eighth Prince and asked, "Eighth Prince, what do you think …"
Eighth Prince was stunned. "What, what is going on?"
Lin Shu said in a low voice: "I don't know why, but when I brought him out just now, I already felt that something was wrong. Even if I haven't seen Young Princess before, I still know that Young Princess is a well-behaved guy. At that time, I already felt that something was amiss, but luckily, I have also hugged my Sister Pearl a few times before, and the child crying non-stop was simply uncomfortable. At that time, I carefully examined Young Princess and found out that there were needle marks all over her arm!
The Eighth Prince had always had a good temper. Even though he was carrying the Young Princess, his face still carried a bit of anger, and he even lowered his voice: "Preposterous, preposterous, Young Princess is the grandson of the current emperor, the first direct grandson and daughter of the emperor, how dare they?"
Saying that, he moved his feet and was about to head over to Third Princess's place, but was stopped by Lin Shu, "Eighth Prince, please wait …"
But Eighth Prince was a little confused. He patted Young Princess's back and softly asked: "What's wrong now? Shouldn't Third Sister be told? "If the people below do not behave sincerely, it would be against the law. Third sister's mind is always on the three of them, he doesn't even care about his daughter!"
Lin Shu hesitated for a long time before saying: "I suspect that it was Third Princess's idea in the first place."
After saying that, she poured out everything that had happened previously. In the end, she did not forget to continue: "I know what Third Princess and Lateral Consort Zhang are thinking, but I really do not want to get involved in this kind of internal strife. When the time comes, no matter who wins, I will end up in a situation that is completely inhumane."
Lin Shu thought very clearly, whether it was the Third Princess, Zhang Yuanqing, or even Wang Manjing, their statuses were all above him now. If they wanted to make things difficult for him, it would be as easy as flipping her palm.
None of these three women were good stuff!
Eighth Prince was extremely shocked when he heard this. After a while, he asked: "What, what is going on? "I've heard from third brother that third sister was a little jealous, but I didn't expect to be able to do such a thing."
Although the Emperor has many sons, all of them are separated by a layer of belly. The brothers of the Eighth Prince's mother and siblings only have the Third Prince.
Although men were not like women and liked to gossip, sometimes when they drank too much, the Third Prince would always think of himself as his younger brother, spitting bitter water. The Third Prince had mentioned it several times, but Third Princess's identity was unknown, making him unable to lift his head in front of everyone.
He understood all of this, but to punish the servants and wives, and sell all the pretty girls in the Third Prince's Mansion for such a small thing, that would be making too much of a fuss, bringing out the bearing of a Crown Princess.
It was not as if the Third Prince had never told these words to the Third Princess, but after all these years, the Third Princess had been acting on her own, and even her own daughter was being used up until now.
Eighth Prince was also a little angry, and said loudly: "I am determined to handle this matter, I don't believe that she has the guts to do so …" Actually, no matter what his third brother said to him, the Third Princess in front of him would always be gentle and virtuous.
Since Eighth Prince was willing to help, then that would be for the best. Lin Shu muttered to herself for a moment, but it was actually easy to settle. It seemed like it wasn't that easy to do, she was the one who came out with Young Princess with her own hands, and Eighth Prince was not present at that time either. This kind of matter was not something that could be clearly said by just the Eighth Prince s.
Just as Lin Shu was muttering to herself in silence, the girl who went to get the cape for Young Princess came out. When she saw Eighth Prince, she was naturally shocked, "Eighth Prince, why are you here?"
With the Eighth Prince, this game would become much more difficult, but no matter, as long as he insisted on leaving just now, when the time came, she would only have Lin Shu and the servant by his side, what did the master and servant do? Who knows?
When Lin Shu's gaze fell on her face, she remained calm and composed, as if nothing had happened. She only said softly, "Yah, Fourth Miss, why is Young Princess still crying?"
