Betrothal?

Lin Shu naturally did not think that the emperor would grant her marriage with the Eighth Prince. Since this news came from the palace, then this matter must be related to the Empress Zhang.

To be honest, if the Emperor really betrothed her to the Eighth Prince, she wouldn't want to have such an old granny to live in such a scheming place. She probably wouldn't be able to live a peaceful life for the rest of her life.

On the other hand, the expression on the Madam Lian's face changed unpredictably. "Why would a perfectly fine emperor grant our Sister Shu a marriage?"

The Emperor bestowing marriage was not because he knew Lin Shu, but because he was giving face to his Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion. Even if it was true that marriage was bestowed, he should give either Lin Jia or Lin Hui a marriage, so why would it land on Lin Shu? This is too incredible...

Hibiscus was so anxious that her eyes turned red. "Your servant …" This servant also doesn't know, First Madam said that they are already in the main hall, and wanted you to hurry over. "

Today, they were giving Lin Shu a marriage, so they would definitely need him there.

The Madam Lian and Lin Shu hurriedly went to the front hall. The Internal Service sent by the Emperor had been waiting for a long time with an impatient expression on his face.

When he saw that everyone had already arrived, he waved his whisk and said in a high-pitched voice: "Under the blessing of the heavens, on the day of the Emperor, Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion and, Zhong Lingxiu, virtuous and virtuous, I am glad to hear that today, the eldest son of the National Duke Ning Palace has passed the marriage ceremony. When he has chosen a girl and a girl worthy of Lin Shu, he will be able to have her and the eldest son of the National Duke Ning Palace as his wife.

First Madam had already secretly stuffed some silver just now, and asked around for some information. It wasn't surprising at all when she heard this.

On the other hand, Madam Lian's eyes blacked out, if Lin Shu had not acted quickly to support her, she would have fainted.

On the other hand, Madam Lian didn't say a single word for a long time. She mumbled to herself for a long time, but she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

The First Madam had never encountered such a thing before, so in the end, it was Lin Shu who still went forward and said, "Thank you for the emperor's good intentions. Please return, eunuch.

Not to mention the emperor giving her to Lu Jingran, even if he gave her to a cat or dog, she could only say thank you. If this matter spread to the emperor's ears, the emperor would even become dissatisfied with the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion.

The Internal Service looked at Lin Shu pitifully and thought in her heart, Sigh … [How could such a pitiful girl be given to such a popinjay?]

"Because Lin Shu knows how to conduct herself, Internal Service's expression became slightly better," Fourth Miss should take a good rest.

Lin Shu flattered the eunuch with a smile, and not only did she call for a capable manager to send Internal Service out, he even personally sent the Internal Service to the drooping flower gate.

When she turned around and returned, Madam Lian was already crying like a man.

First Madam continued to advise on the side, "Sigh, don't cry. My heart is in chaos from crying too … If tears are of any use, I will cry with you. "

She was also the mother, and even if she didn't really like Lin Shu and her daughter back then, but now that she thought about it, Lin Shu and her daughter could be considered to have quite the human nature in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, let alone Lin Hui and Lin Shu who were usually as nice as well …

Madam Lian cried until she was out of breath, wishing that she could not even catch her breath, "Sister-in-law? How can I not be sad? I had always wished for Sister Shu to be able to marry Rao Geer, but Sister Shu didn't want me to. I thought that marriage was something that would last a lifetime, and it's fine if she doesn't want it, but after this marriage was slowly being chosen, there's always a good choice. And even set a Master Ningguogongfuda? Do you think someone is doing something to the bear in the middle of it? "

Although the First Madam was born into a famous family, she had always been working hard for the Grand Madam. She was the one in charge of all the major matters in the palace, and now, even if she had to make a decision, it was impossible to say for sure.

After thinking about it, she said, "I also think that this matter is a bit unusual. It's just fine, how did the emperor know about the Sister Shu? Furthermore, the Master Ningguogongfuda is the empress's nephew, so it's possible for the emperor to grant them a marriage. However, the emperor and empress really value the Master Ningguogongfuda, so if they hadn't bestowed the marriage earlier, how could they have waited until now? "

The more the two people spoke, the more baffled they felt, but when they saw Lin Shu, they both simultaneously shut their mouths.

Especially Madam Lian, whose tears fell down again. She felt that her daughter was the most pitiful person in the world.

Lin Shu's face did not have much expression, "Mother, don't be like this, the matter has already become like this, even if you want to cry it is useless, since the marriage has already been decided, let's not talk about it anymore, if you say too much, no one will listen to it."

Actually, she didn't know what she was feeling. It was as if she was happy, but she didn't have any. She was sad, and it didn't seem like she had any feelings for him.

Forget about the love and kindness of the two, at least they would be able to respect each other. At that time, Lu Jingran would be taking care of the fans outside or playing tricks on them, and it had nothing to do with her. If Lu Jingran was willing to accept these people into his family, she would agree to do so. For many things, it would be fine to just turn a blind eye.

However, National Duke Ning's wife and Young Madam Zhang seemed to be a little difficult to deal with … She had already begun to plan what to do in the future.

Madam Lian looked at his daughter's silent face and thought that she was too sad. She immediately hugged Lin Shu and started crying, "My Sister Shu, my poor Sister Shu …"

She only hated herself for not having a high status, if she was really from a prestigious clan like the First Madam, she would only take a large amount of silver to pay her respects at the palace.

As she cried, even First Madam's eyes turned red. She turned her body and secretly wiped her tears away.

Before, First Madam was not allowed to walk around, but at this time, she came over, and First Madam also had nothing.

Her tears also fell, "Sister Shu, what do we do? What should we do? "

Currently, the news of Lin Shu marrying the Master Ningguogongfuda seemed to have grown wings as it spread through every nook and cranny of the Duke Mansion. It wasn't unexpected for Lin Hui to receive this news.

Lin Shu forced a smile, "Look at all of you, what happened to you, I didn't even cry, what are you crying for? To be able to marry someone, how can there be a girl who is not getting married. Moreover, doesn't she have to rely on herself to lead a life in the future? Right now, she is crying and waiting for the wedding ceremony to take place in the National Duke Ning Palace with a sullen face?

No matter what, there was no turning the tables on her. She didn't want to worry about this kind of thing.

Lin Hui cried, "But … "But …" But after a long while, she didn't manage to finish the sentence.

She remembered that when they were young at Cheng'an Estate, they had saved Master Ningguogongfuda's life. When the time came, Lin Shu could tell them about this and maybe, after seeing this, the Master Ningguogongfuda would treat Lin Shu well.

After a few words, Lin Shu supported Madam Lian back to the Fanghua Garden.

When the Grand Madam heard this news, they did not recover their senses for a long while. After a long while, they finally said, "This is all fate …"

The Nanny Chen knew that she was thinking about what happened back then and said softly, "Even though your body is much better now, the imperial physician also said that you should stay safe and rest. Don't think too much … Although the Grand Madam of the National Duke Ning Palace resents you, that is still a matter from many years ago. Previously, the Grand Madam of the National Duke Ning Palace even came to see you a few times, maybe you have already forgotten the grudges and grudges from before. "

She knew that Grand Madam did not care about Lin Shu, but had read too many scriptures of the Buddha and believed that there would be retribution.

Back then when Grand Madam stole the old Duke Master, the Grand Madam of National Duke Ning Palace said with tears in his eyes that the Grand Madam would take revenge … Wasn't the retribution here now? Grand Madam once had five sons. Other than the bastard who died, the Fourth Elder had died early in his life. Of the remaining three sons, two of them had failed.

Look at the Grand Madam Palace, they once had three sons, even though they only had one son, but everyone in the capital knew that the National Duke Ning was filial, and if they got something good, they would send it to the patriarch of the National Duke Ning Palace. They were all pitiful people, but who could be more pitiful?

The Grand Madam waved his hand, he did not want to hear about such vile things, "Where did she come to see me? You clearly came to see me as a joke. Do you think I don't know what she's thinking?

Pausing for a moment, she continued, "Fortunately, the one bestowed the marriage was the fourth miss, so it can be considered a good thing."

She didn't like Lin Shu, which was something that everyone knew about in Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion. When Lin Shu married into the National Duke Ning Palace, she would suffer … It was exactly what she wanted.

At this time, after Lin Shu sent her mother back to the Fanghua Garden, he found a stone bench halfway down and sat down.

It was already late in the month, and although there was the warm imperial physician at the top, Tian'er was still very cold. Lin Shu held the furnace in her arms, and sat there alone.

Actinin Qin did not try to advise her otherwise, since her eyes were always red.

After sitting for half a quarter of an hour, Lin Shu sensed the cold aura and stood up, "Let's go back …"

She felt her heart in a mess, if Lu Jingran married her, then what about the Chen Court's patriarch, Third Miss Chen Yao? Also, then would Lu Jingran become the National Duke Ning in this life?
