Lin Shu heard this and tears welled up in her eyes. She had originally planned to walk in and talk to her mother.

But after thinking about it for a bit, her eyes reddened as she left the Fanghua Garden.

What did she comfort her mother with? The more she spoke, the more upset she would feel … Could it be that she wouldn't marry into the National Duke Ning Palace?

Because her eyes were extremely sore, Lin Shu walked very slowly.

It was a good thing that there were not many people around here at Fanghua Garden. Many people went to the front courtyard to join in the fun, while others went to the Flower Hall … The area seemed deserted and lonely.

Lin Shu kicked the rocks at her feet, thinking about what she should do with her mother … Sending it to the manor was not realistic, it could hide for a while, but could not hide it for a lifetime. His mother was a dignified Fifth Madam of the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, why would she stay in the manor for her entire life?

But if his mother had stayed in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, he would have been unhappy.

He Li...

This thought continued to grow stronger and stronger in Lin Shu's mind, but there were many things that were difficult to accomplish just by thinking about them.

When she thought of this, she could not help but sigh. In a flash, her mind shook and her body hit a chest.

Lu Jingran's voice came from above his head, "Why aren't you looking at the road when you're walking?"

Lin Shu raised her head, revealing a pair of red rabbit-like eyes.

Lu Jingran was shocked, "What happened? Did someone bully you? "

But when he thought about what Ban Xia had told him just now, that Lin Shu had gone to the Fanghua Garden, no one dared to bully her. He thought for a moment and said: "Are you worried about your mother?"

Lin Shu nodded her head, and held tightly onto his sleeve, as if they were driftless dead trees that had finally found their way to the other side, "I, I'm worried about my mother … I can protect her now, but after I get married, who will protect her? "

Lu Jingran patted her back and said, "Don't worry, there's still me! We'll protect your mother together, and your mother will be my mother. We'll protect her together! "

He knew how much Madam Lian loved Lin Shu!

Lin Shu's tears stopped with great difficulty, but after hearing this, they turned red again, "I can't protect … Let's not talk about Father for now, even Grandmother's side has some complaints about Mother. Previously, they had been holding a grudge because of me, and after I get married, they will definitely vent all their anger on Mother. Mother is also a strong person, and will only meet force with force, what benefits can Mother get by clashing head on with them? "

As her tears fell, Lu Jingran's heart also tightened. "There will be a way, don't cry …"

Lin Shu took a deep breath, "I want mother and father to leave me alone."

Away from?

Even Lu Jingran was shocked when he heard it, "This matter is said to be simple, it is not simple at all, not to mention that Lian Family is just a merchant, how could he contend against Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion? Not to mention that your father has always been someone who knows everything outside and has some connections with anyone. Who doesn't praise him a bit? "

He Li really isn't simple, he had to go through the authorities. He just felt a little awkward, "Not to mention that your father doesn't even have a concubine by his side, even if he wants to leave, he would have to find fault with me! The only thing I'm afraid of is that we won't be able to get away with it. Even your mother's reputation will be ruined! "

The most important thing to women was their reputation. Some people valued their reputation more than their life.

Lin Shu nodded, "I know it's very difficult, so I don't have any ways …"

"It's not like there's nothing you can do right now, but it depends on what you think. It depends on whether your mother cares about her reputation, and whether she really wants to leave you!" Lu Jingran thought about it more thoroughly than Lin Shu, after all this separation, it would be hard for women to marry again.

What's more, women were the most soft-hearted creatures in the world. Although they scolded her on the surface, they only wished for men to lower their heads.

Lin Shu said: "If it wasn't for me, Mother would not be willing to stay in Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion anymore. All these years, she and Father have already fought like fire and water."

Because the two of them were already engaged, Lin Shu did not hide the matter from her, and told her everything that had happened, bit by bit.

At the end, even Lu Jingran could not help but clench his fist, "You are simply worse than animals …"

As he said that, he held Lin Shu's shoulders and said, "Although we will not take the initiative to harm others, we will also not allow others to ride on our heads. Between your mother and father …. He Li could already be considered to be taking advantage of him. Sister Shu, you don't have to worry about this, just leave it to me. "

When it comes to matters between men, let's do it the way men do.

Since the method Lin Pei had used before was not suitable for show, then he might as well use an underhanded method.

Lin Shu asked: "What method do you plan to use?"

"Tell me, how would the emperor and the empress dowager feel if they found out that Lin Pei had gone to a nunnery and caused such a ruckus that they wanted to commit suicide?" Lu Jingran had already called him by his name, to the point that he didn't even want to call him by his name anymore. "Back then, because of the marriage between Princess Changze and Wang Pei, the Emperor had already felt suspicious, but he couldn't stop the Empress Dowager from wanting to settle the matter peacefully, so he didn't care about this matter."

"His Majesty isn't the empress dowager, there are many things that can tell that something is amiss. If this matter were to be exposed, His Majesty would definitely investigate them using tree vines. At that time, even if Wang Pei died, the empress dowager and the emperor would probably blame it on Lin Pei … Say, if your mother suggests that it is reasonable again, not to mention the fact that the officials are willing to protect Lin Pei, they might as well throw out this hot potato to show their integrity. "

"But if that is the case, I am afraid your reputation will not be good, and your Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion will not be up to this day, and your Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion will be very powerful, relying on Lin Pei being on the right and left of the government. If this matter were to spread, I am afraid that Lin Pei would not even have any hope of being promoted, at that time, your Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion will not be able to establish a foothold in the capital. You have to think it through. "

Lin Shu could not help but hesitate.

She did not care about her own reputation, but she did not care about the life and death of Lin Hui and the rest. If the ugly things regarding Lin Pei and the Lord of Changze were to happen, most likely all of the people in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion would not even be able to raise their heads in front of everyone.

She thought about it, then whispered a few words into Lu Jingran's ear.

Lu Jingran's face changed, "Can this method work? Would Lin Pei agree? "

He paused for a moment, then said: "If I were Lin Pei, I would not agree, and would even kill to keep the truth a secret, this kind of thing is like a bomb that is buried under the bed, that could explode at any time. With your mother in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, he even dared to guarantee that you wouldn't dare to act recklessly, if your mother went and left him, how can he guarantee that you wouldn't spread this matter?"

After all, Lin Pei was an intelligent person.

But unfortunately, Lin Pei's weakness was in their hands.

Lin Shu said: "Could it be that as the situation is now, he has other choices? Kill him to keep his mouth shut? He really dares! "

If Lin Pei dared to touch her mother, she would dare to take Lin Pei's life.

If it were any other man, upon hearing such fierce words, they would have long avoided him. But Lu Jingran's mouth still carried a smile, and his eyes revealed an appreciative look, "Alright, leave this to me."

The two had never been friends, but more like allies.

After a long conversation, the two didn't look awkward at all.

Lin Shu laughed: "... Third sister is still waiting for me. I'll go over first. "

Lu Jingran called out to her, "When I came here just now, it looked like Lateral Consort Zhang has come as well."

Zhang Yuanqing?

How could she even have the face to come in Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion? If she was Zhang Yuanqing, she would even be embarrassed to come in through the door of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, So what if she is here, she has the nerve to come in Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, do I have to be embarrassed to go out and hide from her? "

She believed that with Lu Jingran's capabilities, he should have found out what happened that day at the Third Prince's Mansion.

There were some words that didn't even need to be said.

Lu Jingran laughed, "I am not saying that you should avoid her, a gentleman can be on guard, but a villain cannot be unguarded, for a villain like her, it is best if you can avoid some of them, and if nothing happens to you, it is best that nothing happens to her. If anything happens to you, it will be too late to regret."

He was worried about Lin Shu.

Lin Shu's heart felt warm, as though in this world, other than his mother, only Lu Jingran had ever said such words to her.

However, on the side of her mother, there were many things that she could not say. However, this embrace … She could be relied on, "Don't worry, I know my limits. If I see that something is wrong, I will definitely be prepared …" I'm smart. "

Lu Jingran raised his head and caressed her head like a little rabbit, "Alright, be careful."

The gloom in his heart was swept away.

When Lin Shu rushed to the Flower Hall, there was still a slight smile on her lips. There were already a lot of people seated in the Flower Hall, and among them, the most respected people could not help but be Lin Jia and a few others.

But when Lin Shu walked in, everyone's eyes were on her.

Everyone's eyes were filled with the intention of watching a good show … A girl with a bad reputation and a good-for-nothing seemed to be a perfect match.

And it was still Lin Jia who said with a smile, "... Fifth sister is here! Quickly, come and sit! "

She was a good person, and knew that Lin Shu had a good relationship with her sister, so she was not willing to give her sister face.

"Lin Hui and Lin Shu both sat next to Lin Jia, and Lin Jia's gaze towards them was filled with kindness," First, grandmother's illness has recovered, and then you two are about to get married, ai, you still remember when I first went to the Forin, all of you were sitting at the same table, and the tallest one was the Sister Qian, it's about the same as an armchair, and all of you are all grown up now, it's so fast!
