Inside the Third Prince's Mansion, Lin Shu had also kept all the information hidden, to the point of not letting anyone know about it. Lin Shu had even sent Yun Dou out to inquire about it a few times, but they all returned empty-handed.
As for the news about the palace head, there was no need for her to think about it. She simply didn't have the ability to insert people into the palace. No matter how many times she circled around the palace entrance, all she could see were the towering walls.
Lin Shu was extremely anxious, but unfortunately, these kinds of words were not good for others to say, whether it was to Madam Lian or Lin Hui, they were all hard to say, speaking too much would only cause others to be worried.
She only felt that there was no one that she could rely on!
Actually, wasn't she the same person who had no one to rely on in her previous life? He could still rely on himself …
As she thought about it, she always felt that this matter should be discussed with someone. The chaotic feeling in her heart was not easy to bear. If she were to suffer until the end like this, she would definitely go crazy.
At that time, the Empress Zhang would not even look for her, and she would already be thrown into disarray.
Looking for Lu Jingran?
A handsome face suddenly appeared in Lin Shu's mind, it was as though she had no one else to look for other than Lu Jingran in this world.
Actually, Lu Jingran had already gotten the news from Piao Xu's side at this time. Empress Zhang and Madam National Duke Ning had already decided to marry Lin Shu to him, and he was so happy that he wished she could immediately tell Lin Shu the news.
But after calming down, he thought about it. Did Lin Shu like him?
He didn't know!
The initial jubilation eventually turned into nervousness and unease.
Lu Jingran was only happy, as though he had never thought about whether Lin Shu would be willing to marry him or not.
Even if she knew that he was not as despicable as the popinjays in the rumors, not being bored did not mean that he did not like it. Lu Jingran knew this principle better than anyone else … He could only barely count them as not annoying.
Lu Jingran pondered over and over again, thought for a long time, and in the end, still made a trip to Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion.
Because Lin Shu always liked peace and quiet, there weren't many maids helping him on both sides of the Linglong Pavilion. Lu Jingran just sat down on the corner of the courtyard, with the vine in her hand, and laid down.
When he looked at the light shining out from Lin Shu's room, he felt an inexplicable sense of security.
If the two of them were to become husband and wife in the future, wouldn't Lin Shu also light a lamp every day waiting for him to return?
Thinking about it, he felt a bit of warmth in his heart, as if there was a bit more hope for the National Duke Ning Palace that he never liked …
Lu Jingran didn't know how long he stayed in Linglong Pavilion's courtyard. He only felt that the maid seemed to be getting fewer in number, and the night was getting colder and colder. Finally, he stood up and prepared to jump onto the wall.
However, he did not know that as soon as he stood up, he walked towards the corridor and shot a glance at her. He then shrieked, "Ah, Young Master Lu is here?"
She was young, her eyes were sharp and her voice was loud. When she shouted, Lin Shu in the room also heard her.
Lin Shu who was still in a daze heard the commotion and hurriedly rushed out of the house, and coincidentally saw Lu Jingran's handsome face. The stars in the sky were very sparse, and Lu Jingran's expression was obviously gloomy and unclear.
He stood under the porch with his hands folded, his body as straight as a pine tree.
Lin Shu hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Uncle Jingtang, why are you here?"
Lu Jingran felt a little awkward. He couldn't help but ask if you were happy that you were about to become my wife.
He thought for a moment, then said, "I was thinking that I had nothing better to do, so I came to see you."
Lin Shu nodded, but she did not know what to say next. She had something on her mind, but she was afraid that if Lu Jingran said it out loud, it would make things difficult for him. No matter what, Lu Jingran and Eighth Prince were cousins, even if only in name, but after so many years, they still called each other cousin.
If he knew what he was thinking, would he have felt that he was too ignorant? What kind of identity did the Eighth Prince have? What was his identity? When Eighth Prince said he wanted to marry him, not only was he unhappy, he even had a bitter face …
Lin Shu swallowed the words that were about to leave her mouth, and said softly: "The little kitchen has just prepared milk soup, do you want this Uncle Jingtang to use some before he leaves?"
"I still have things to do, so there's no need. Let's change the day!" Lu Jingran shook his head, then turned and left.
However, in his heart, he was more or less disappointed … With the unhappy Lin Shu just now, could it be that she didn't want to see him?
Lin Shu, who was standing on the pavilion, was unable to recover for a long while.
But it was still Yun Dou who said softly from the side, "…" Why is Young Master Lu here to see us? "
Before she could finish speaking, Actinin Qin had already pinched her, she gave her a look, and she immediately shut her mouth, as if she understood what she meant.
Seeing that her mood was not too good, Lin Shu used some milk porridge and went to bed early.
However, Cloudbean pestered Actinin Qin and asked him all the questions, "... Sister Actinin Qin, why don't you like it when Young Master Lu comes looking for a lady? "
Suqin is almost twenty now, and both Lin Shu and the Lian Family have been helping her find a marriage contract these past few years, but she rejected them all." What do you think is the good of Young Master Lu to find a girl? "Young lady, it's not easy for you to talk about marriage. If there is a connection with a person like Young Master Lu, then it'll be even more difficult …
"I know, not only has Young Master Lu saved our lives many times, he has also saved our lives …" But, Yun Dou, our lives belong to the lady and we have to take care of the lady for the rest of our lives. As long as the lady is well, we can be better off. Let's not even talk about whether he is real or not, just talking about his identity alone, if we were to marry him, our lives would probably not be easy. National Duke Ning's wife views him as a thorn in his side. "
"Young Master Lu still has National Duke Ning s and National Duke Ning s to protect him, but after a few decades? At that time, who would protect him and who would protect their girl? National Duke Ning Palace is big and has a lot of businesses. When the time comes, there will be a lot of rules, so tell me, why don't you marry your young master instead. Looking at the date, even Yao Yao didn't personally come to announce the day of the announcement. This matter, Madam Lian didn't know how sad it was.
Her and Madam Lian's thoughts were exactly the same. As expected of someone who grew up by the Nian family's side.
Cloudbean bit down on her malt candy and said, "But young lady doesn't like young master Biao …" Young lady, you always see love as more important than life.
"Then do you think that lady likes Young Master Lu?" Actinin Qin was a little hesitant. Every time this girl saw Young Master Lu, she would act naturally and unrestrainedly. However, every time she saw Young Master Lu, hmm, she always felt that this girl was a little different.
Cloudbean shook her head, but then she nodded and said, "I feel like this lady likes Young Master Lu."
Actinin Qin could not help but burst out laughing, "How did you figure that out? What do you know, little girl? "
"I know, where do I not know?" Yun Dou became excited and said softly: "How many times has Young Master Lu saved our family's girl? Sister Actinin Qin, did you not listen to the drama? This is how the people from Liucheng Garden act. The hero saved the beauty, and in the end, the beauty will definitely fall in love with the hero, so our lady will definitely also fall in love with Young Master Lu. "
As she spoke, she thought for a while, and said softly, "Furthermore, Big Sister Actinin Qin, when did you think that the young master had come, and that the young lady would let him eat the sweet water? Usually, people will personally send them. Have you forgotten that this lady always says that men and women are on high alert, and even cousins should be wary of each other. But this lady has never been afraid of Young Master Lu? "
Actinin Qin was suddenly enlightened. Why didn't she have a little girl understand that she was actually so much older than Yun Dou …
After thinking about it for a long time, Actinin Qin actually did not sleep well that night.
But when she saw Lin Shu, she didn't really see how Lin Shu looked like either … At that time, she had thought that it was because of Lu Jingran that the lady had become like that!
When Lin Shu saw her, she could tell that she had something on her mind. Using the time while they were eating breakfast, she dismissed the servant girls in the room, "What, you have something to say to me?"
"Nothing can be hidden from the girl." In terms of sincerity, no one could compare to Actinin Qin, she hesitated for a moment and then said: "Miss, this servant has something that I wish to ask you, after thinking for an entire night, I do not know how to ask."
She and the girl had never talked about such a thing before.
Lin Shu also felt that this situation was a little serious, "Is there anything between us that we can't say? Just say it. "
Actinin Qin hesitated for a long time before saying: "Miss, do you like Young Master Lu?"
What?
Lin Shu thought she did not sleep well last night and was distracted for a moment. She could not help but ask again, but after waiting for Actinin Qin to repeat the question again, she could not hide the astonishment on his face, "Why are you asking this when everything is alright?"
What does it feel like to like someone? In this life, Lin Shu had never thought of this … She felt that she did not like Lu Jingran. After all, when she liked Shao Shengping in her previous life, she worried about him the entire time, as if she was looking for an extremely good thing. She did not know when it would be taken away by someone else.
That was why she had thought of such a despicable method in her previous life. It was no wonder that everyone looked down on her in the end …
She thought for a moment and said resolutely, "Why would I like Uncle Jingtang? Uncle Jingtang and I are just friends, and Uncle Jingtang saved me so many times, all that's in my heart is gratitude. Whether it's in terms of experience or connections, Uncle Jingtang has more than me, so it's only right for me to ask Uncle Jingtang some questions. "
Having lived for a lifetime, she had seen many things very indifferently. However, when she thought back to how she and Lu Jingran were together, she realized that something was really wrong, "Don't worry, I know what you're worried about. I'll pay more attention in the future."
