Seeing the determination in Lin Shu's eyes, Actinin Qin's worries were relieved, "Miss, this servant hopes that you can lead a good life better than anyone, as long as you are well, this servant will be at ease."

Back then, when the Fifth Madam sent her there, he told her that after the Linglong Pavilion arrived, Lin Shu would be his master. He had to take care of Lin Shu and treat him like her little sister.

He felt that he had succeeded in these few years, but if he couldn't see Lin Shu getting married, how could he be at ease?

Lin Shu nodded, and said softly: "Actinin Qin, you treat me very well. I know that there are many people in this world who touch me and hold me in their hands, and other than my mother, I also call you Yun Dou and Cherry Blossom. I truly care about me from the bottom of my heart."

It had been a long time since the name Cherry was mentioned in the Linglong Pavilion, and even until now, Actinin Qin still wasn't clear as to why the Miss wanted to receive Cherry from Jiangsu. She and Yun Dou were the young lady's girls, but Cherry lived like a master, "Miss, what are you planning to do about Cherry?"

Lin Shu said: "Cherry... This is even worse than killing her. Since he is living a good life in the villa now, then let him live in the manor in the future, at that time we can see who she likes, and find a good marriage for her. "

With that, she paused, and then gently placed her hand on Actinin Qin's hand. "Your marriage has always been a thorn in my heart, now that you're old, it's fine if you don't have the right person to marry me back in the villa, but I have been back for quite a while now, so I should worry about my marriage."

"A while ago when I went to the Fanghua Garden, Mother had told me that it was not bad for one or two stewards to come up to the manor. Do you want to meet them? Perhaps there are also the sons of the shopkeepers in the shop, you can take a look. In any case, mother and I will always treat you badly when it comes to your marriage. "

Actinin Qin looked up from afar, "Actually, this servant had thought of marrying … What's so good about getting married? It's better to stay by your side and take care of you than to serve your parents-in-law, take care of your husband, and even take care of your concubine. Your servant is nice to you, and you are nice to me too … However, if you truly wish to face others, others may be better off than you treat your servant. "

Since she was young, she had been raised by the Madam Lian in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion and had seen many different kinds of people.

A capable person beside his master had some silver taels. It wasn't a rare thing for a married woman to buy a maid or a concubine.

Lin Shu said softly, "But you can't possibly continue to refuse to marry right?"

Actinin Qin did not speak.

Lin Shu said: "I know that you have seen too much of things in the Palace, no matter if it's First Uncle, second uncle or my father, none of them seem to be reliable, let alone other men, anyone can easily beat or scold this wife of theirs, all those years ago grandmother had a little girl by her side, how much of a spoils!"

"However, after being betrothed to a capable steward, a few years later, the steward ended up taking in a concubine. This concubine completely suppressed her, and in the end, the steward even gave birth to a son, causing her husband to want to divorce him. At that time, Grandmother was still angry over this matter, but when the two of them were placed in front of each other, that little girl was still defending her husband."

"After a few more months, she came to Grandmother, covered in injuries, to ask her grandmother to make a decision for her, but this time, Ancestor didn't care about anything, and after half a year, the little girl died. Grandmother saw that she left her child pitifully, so she gave her fifty taels of silver, but she was afraid that the child's stepmother would snatch away the fifty taels of silver before she could even see it …" But don't worry, I know what you're thinking, and when the time comes, that person will find you the most suitable one. If you don't like it, even if the emperor himself came to propose marriage, I would not agree. "

This was something that had happened when she was young, but she had been extremely worried for so many years.

Actinin Qin was truly moved, she said with tears in her eyes: "This servant is just a little girl, there is no need for you to worry so much about this marriage. The most important thing for you to worry about is your own marriage, Second Miss, Third Miss and the marriage have already been decided, and only you are left, you do not know why I am so anxious, it is great that you have called me as a young master, and now you have won …"

"Actinin Qin, it's fine if others were to say these words, but why did you start to persuade me as well? You have been following me the entire time, you know what I don't like to hear, I have always treated Brother Yao as my own brother, moreover, with the matter with Third Big Sister at the front, don't say such words anymore! " Lin Shu's thoughts were growing more and more resolute, "If it's really to make all of you at ease, marrying the Brother Yao, no matter if it's to me or Cousin Yao, is a very cruel thing to do."

"As for the matter of my marriage, I can't wait. With the opening of the Daqing Dynasty, I have managed to get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and I'm not even old enough yet. Why do all of you seem so anxious?"

Lin Shu wasn't anxious at all with regards to her emotions. She only felt that it wasn't important whether or not a person got married. The most important thing was to be happy.

If you are happier after marriage than before you left the house, why do you want to get married? What was the point of marriage? She had to live for two lifetimes to understand this principle, so she did not expect her mother or Actinin Qin to understand it within a few days.

But Lin Shu did not expect that after just a few days, something had happened that made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Lin Qian was going to be married at the beginning of next year, the Second Madam had practically emptied his family belongings to use as dowry for his own daughter, no matter what, the wife of his daughter was a noble family of the Marquis and would also become the Crown Princess. If the dowry was too little, and news of it spread out, not only would her reputation be bad, her daughter would definitely not be able to hold her head up in her family in the future.

However, Second Madam only had so much silver in his hands, giving it all to Lin Qian, so the following days were filled to the brim with money.

So she set her gaze on Madam Lian, and went to find him to say that it was Jiang Family and a nephew that wasn't married, and bragged about it as though it was a rare occurrence in a hundred years.

Although their background was not as good as Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion's, in the end, they were still the house of a Pavilion Elder. The sons and daughters that were raised were all well-informed, and all of them had their own praises.

Madam Lian was immediately overjoyed, but she knew what kind of person Second Madam was, and only said that she wanted to discuss it with Lin Pei.

But when Second Madam left, she found his daughter, his face full of joy.

Lin Shu felt like she did not know whether to laugh or cry, and she only said: "Mother, what character does Second Aunt have? He couldn't wait for everyone to talk about her … If Jiang Family was really such a promising nephew, why would Jiang Family allow him to be married at such an age? I think that would be like a broken melon, the Second Madam treated him as his baby and presented him to us. "

She did not understand how her mother, who was usually smart, could have been confused about this matter. Things like this had happened a few times before, "Let's not be hasty about this. I'll send someone to investigate first. I'll come back and tell you when I get the news …"

Madam Lian was still a little unreconciled, "Your Second Aunt does not usually do things reliably, but this matter is not child's play. She also has a daughter, so he can understand my intentions … She had just said that this person was only a bit old. If it weren't for the poverty of his family, he wouldn't have lasted until today before getting married! His mother was an amiable person, but she was still a member of the Jiang Family after all. They looked down on the people of the clan and even if his status was higher, they would not be able to take out a betrothal gift.

"I feel that the poverty in our family does not matter. Our Lian Family is not lacking in silver either. "As for silver, bring it with you even if you die. I only have a daughter like you, and when the time comes, my silver will be yours. At the very least, you'll be better off than your three sisters. At least more than enough to deal with Lin Lian …"

When Lin Shu heard this, she was both angry and amused. Most of it, however, her heart ached, "I will send people to investigate this matter, if the nephew at the distant Jiang Family is really as good as Second Aunt says, I will definitely consider this marriage."

It didn't matter if it wasn't checked, but when it was checked, it made Lin Shu extremely angry.

Although he was a distant relative, he was still too far away. Not to mention that the person in the family was widowed and orphaned, it would not even be enough to describe him as an apprentice from the fourth wall. The entire family almost always relied on Jiang Family to go overboard.

The Second Madam had said that he had already fallen for the High Scholar's trap. He wished that he could get one of the Elementary Scholars to marry him. He wished that he could get another five or six siblings.

Lin Shu never dared to talk about this matter with Lin Shu, and only spoke a few vague words, which caused Madam Lian to be on the verge of tears, "... I, I have truly misjudged your Second Aunt. I originally thought that after all these years, her character would have changed a bit, but I never thought that it would still be like this … "

As the mother and daughter were talking, Hibiscus's hurried voice came from outside.

She had always been cautious and this was the first time she was so flustered.

It was winter, and Hibiscus was sweating profusely, but she didn't care about anything else. "Madam, Miss, the head of the palace has arrived!"

Lin Shu suddenly stood up. Could it be that the Empress Zhang had come?

What does this have to do with us?" What are you so nervous for? " The letter was from a marquis after all. Every New Year's Eve, the palace would send one or two dishes down. Occasionally, people from the palace would come over. This wasn't a rare occurrence.

Furong shook her head and whispered, "No, that's not it …" The First Madam said by name that they wanted this lady to go over. They said that the Emperor bestowed this lady a marriage! "
