This servant knew better than anyone why the Young Princess was crying now, but her mind was only thinking of how to lure Lin Shu to the side of the Third Princess and Zhang Yuanqing.
This matter was something that she did not dare to make a decision about. It involved the Eighth Prince, and if the Third Prince were to find out about it, then she would be dead for sure if things did not go well.
A sixteen or seventeen year old girl, how could she not be afraid of death?
Fortunately, Eighth Prince seemed to have understood her thoughts, and he headed towards the backyard. At this time, the ladies and the girls who had yet to leave the pavilion were all gathered together.
When everyone saw the Third Prince enter, their eyes changed slightly. It could be said that the Third Prince had a bit of the aura of a king, but the Eighth Prince had a kind of tranquility and gentleness, just like an ordinary scholar.
When they looked at Eighth Prince, their gazes contained a few points. It should be known that the Emperor and the Empress Zhang's love for the Eighth Prince was not inferior to that of the Third Prince, and in these few years, because the competition for the position of crown prince was a matter, the Emperor doted on the Eighth Prince even more.
At that time, there were already people who wanted to climb up to the Eighth Prince, but the countless gentle and refined Eighth Prince acted as if they did not see the people's gaze, and walked towards the Third Princess, saying in a low voice: "Third sister, I have something to tell you."
These two brothers had always been good to the point that it was as if they were wearing the same pants. Why would Eighth Prince have anything to say to him?
Third Princess only wanted this to be a good opportunity to rope him in, and said with a smile: "Eighth brother, what do you want to say to me?"
The Eighth Prince seemed to not have heard much, he carried the Young Princess and walked outside with a gloomy face.
The Third Princess immediately followed him. Zhang Yuanqing glanced at Lin Shu and felt that something was amiss. He hurriedly followed her.
Lin Shu also followed along, and the four of them arrived at the end of the walkway.
Eighth Prince was a little too kind. He felt that he was mistaken about this matter. He whispered: "Third sister, why are you crying non-stop today?"
The smile in Third Princess's eyes faded a little, and her eyes vaguely fell on Lin Shu's body. I don't know, maybe it's because the weather is cold, Young Princess isn't feeling well? Originally, I wanted to invite the imperial physician to take a look at Young Princess, but today is the birthday of Young Princess after all. If the imperial physician comes here, I think it's a little inappropriate! "
The palace really did pay attention to this. They said that on the day of the birth, it was best not to ask for an imperial physician in order to avoid being tainted with bad luck.
Eighth Prince never thought that Third Princess would use such an excuse. Her heart turned cold and interrupted her, "What do you mean, 'taboo'? Could it be that these taboos are more important than the Young Princess's body and bones? Third sister should call for the imperial physician at this time. Although Young Princess is my daughter, Third brother has always doted on her as if she was something.
Third Princess's heart skipped a beat. Why did the imperial doctors come here to do this? From the very beginning, she only wanted to coerce and defeat Lin Shu. If the imperial physician came, wouldn't that mean that everything would fall on Lin Shu … She did not care about Lin Shu's reputation at all, and this was not what she wanted either.
But after thinking about it, since the Eighth Prince was here, she couldn't do anything about it. He could only order the maidservants to call the imperial physician over with a bitter face.
Watching as the servant girl walked down step by step, Eighth Prince's face became more and more unsightly. Finally, he whispered: "Third sister, do you really not know or feign not to know, are you playing dumb with me?"
Third Princess's face became even uglier, "Eighth brother, what do you mean by this? Why am I getting more and more confused? Did they say something to you? "
She only felt that what she did was flawless. How could there be any flaws? No matter how bold Lin Shu was, she would not dare to strip Young Princess of her clothes. Furthermore, even if Lin Shu was truly intelligent, if he thought about what she was scheming, would she be able to sway Eighth Prince?
Eighth Prince glanced at Lin Shu, "Do I still need others to tell me something like this? I don't know why Third Sister-in-Law felt like someone had said something to me. Or do you just know what's going to happen next? If someone really said something to me, the Lin Family's Fourth Miss and you have only met a few times, what would they say about you? "
These words were said very lightly, but it felt like a heavy hammer had landed on Third Princess's heart. She wasn't very smart to begin with, so she couldn't hide the expression on her face when she heard this.
However, Third Princess felt that she did not reveal anything and felt that there was room for discussion. "I was just casually asking, why is Bardy so excited?"
Eighth Prince did not even bother to look at her. He just pulled up Young Princess's sleeve and revealed his white and tender arms.
Young Princess was originally in pain, but now that she was cold again, she couldn't help but start crying.
Eighth Prince pointed to the needle on her arm and asked: "Third sister, what do you think this is? Do you still want to argue? "
The needle marks on her arm was especially frightening, the Third Princess revealed a look of astonishment, "My darling, what happened to you? Weren't you still fine when I carried you out? "
Look, how eloquent! With just a few words, he had pushed all the blame onto Lin Shu.
Lin Shu said: "Why do I not understand Third Princess's words? From the start, I have never made a move on Young Princess. Just now, when she carried me out, she was already crying non-stop, and seeing that she was crying even harder, Eighth Prince told me that it would be better if I brought Young Princess over for you to take a look. Why do you make it sound like it's me who harmed Young Princess, how would I, a commoner, have the guts to do that? "
Third Princess was powerful, but she was not weak.
On the other hand, Third Princess had bitten Lin Shu, if she did not find Lin Shu regarding this matter, would she be able to shoulder the blame? It was true that Third Princess wanted to defeat Wang Manjing, but she could not be dragged into this matter. After all, if she were to defeat Wang Manjing, there would still be chances.
Zhang Yuanqing seemed to share the same thoughts as her, but what was in his heart? She understood more than anyone, "Then Fourth Miss means that this was done by someone else? Heh, I'm afraid that Miss Fourth Miss already resented me? I know what you are thinking, just now I said that if you go out and take Young Princess for a walk, you probably won't have a noble heart, thinking that you are a girl from a famous clan, where would you do such a thing as watching over children? "
"You think I want you to help me with this? Didn't he just think that his little sister would give him some face by saying that he was a kind person? But then you threw your face at me, what do you mean? Even if you are truly not satisfied with me, you will not be attacked by Young Princess. Young Princess is only a few years old right now, if you have anything, just come and attack me! "
Her voice grew louder and louder, causing the ladies in the room, who had yet to leave the pavilion, to all gather around. They all began to discuss amongst themselves, not afraid of getting too high up in the stage.
Seeing that there was a spectator, Third Princess's voice became louder, "You have to admit, I know that you are the one who did this, and since you dare to do it, what is there to be afraid of? Young Princess's wet nurse was invited by me from my hometown. I had nursed Young Princess for two years and nothing had happened, so why is there usually no needle on Young Princess's arm? Once you hug her, she'll have it on her body. How are you going to argue? "
Third Princess's voice was very sharp, causing everyone's eyes to fall on Lin Shu, a bit of disdain in their eyes. It was fine that Lin Shu said those words in front of the Princess. And now she had hardened her heart to hurt a two year old girl. Was she even human?
Zhang Yuanqing was also extremely clever, he only needed a moment to understand the situation. He pulled Lin Shu and said: "Sister Shu, what exactly is going on? "I don't believe, I don't believe that you would do such a thing …"
Heh, he's really amazing!
If he didn't believe it, he wouldn't have said such words!
Lin Shu just felt that she could not retort. That's right, no one would believe that a mother would do something to their daughter, so she decided to just not say anything.
Eighth Prince was so angry that his face turned red, and he said loudly: "Third Sister, are you still going to quibble at this point? Did you want to rope in the Lin Family's Fourth Miss to deal with the Lateral Consort Wang, so you came up with this plan? What did Lateral Consort Wang do wrong? "Originally, when the empress dowager had assigned her to Third Brother, you disliked him greatly. Now that he's been bestowed the title of Lateral Consort, do you still want to eradicate her from her roots?"
"Heh, even if you truly have this intention, it is a grudge between you two, why are you implicating the Lin Family's Fourth Miss …" Forget it, I'm not going to say these words, so as to not embarrass third brother in front of all these people. Forget it, let's invite third brother in! "
A brother-in-law of his was not bold enough to accuse his sister-in-law, and his upbringing prevented him from doing such a thing.
Third Princess never thought that this eighth brother of his would believe a woman's words. He could not help but tear up, "Eighth brother, what are you saying? Was he fooled by this woman? "What kind of reputation does she have? Go to the capital and ask around. How can you believe her words?"
Saying that, her tears started to fall even harder, "Yes, I admit, at first, I didn't like the Lateral Consort Wang, but at that time, I had to serve her as a servant for her. Third brother, think about it, as a woman, what woman would let a man have a servant that he doesn't understand? If I do not say that I view her as my own sister, at least I will treat her kindly. Thinking about how we are all women in the Third Prince's Mansion, serving your third brother together, I have forgotten about what happened previously. "
"If you don't tell me, go to the manor and ask around about how I treated Lateral Consort Wang. If you don't tell me about what I treated him with, if there's anything that I have during this period of time, there will be a lot of them in Lateral Consort Wang. I even sent someone to send in some nourishment medicine in hopes that she would be able to open up some leaves for third brother of yours. "
