Lin Jia deserved to be the successor to the Grand Madam, she spoke in every way possible and did not offend anyone. In front of everyone, she was the role model for Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, as if she was the elder sister of every little sister.

Since she was willing to put on an act, Lin Shu could only accompany her and pull her hand: "Big sister, look at what you have said, I still remember what Grandmother said before. Even if we all married, we are still girls of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, and from the start, you have told us that you should still act together, and help each other out more in the future."

Lin Jia laughed and said, "Yes, that is true. Amongst all of these little sisters, our fifth sister has the clearest understanding, but what a pity …"

At this point, she stopped talking.

Lin Shu knew what he was going to say, but it was a pity that she was going to marry that playboy from the National Duke Ning Palace.

But Lin Shu did not feel that it was a pity.

Everyone looked at Lin Shu with a bit of regret in their eyes. Who didn't have times of recklessness? Didn't do a few ridiculous things? What Lin Shu had said to the First Princess Pingning and the others back then, was probably just young and ignorant, to them, they were merely in a moment of desperation!

What's more, there was no wall that didn't leak out wind. Everyone had heard about what happened between her and the Eighth Prince back then, and if Lin Shu married the Eighth Prince, then her future would be limitless. But in the end, she still married Lu Jingran … After that, her life would be completely different.

Lin Shu narrowed her eyes as she looked at Lin Jia, unable to understand why Lin Jia would say such a thing.

Because the relationship between the Empress Dowager Wang and himself had never been on good terms, when fighting for the position of crown prince, the Empress Dowager Wang had only chosen the seventh prince, and he had only supported his own son, the third prince.

Because First Princess Pingning and Empress Dowager Wang had always viewed each other as enemies, they supported the Third Prince's faction.

Logically speaking, Lin Jia should be on guard and not allow Lin Shu to meet with the Eighth Prince, and even if it was Lin Shu or her background, she still wouldn't bring up the Eighth Prince, so why would she say such words now?

Zhang Yuanqing also laughed: "That's right, the Sister Shu has a good temperament and looks, it's more than enough to marry a clan member. Sigh, I don't know what the Emperor is thinking, or how he called it that he bestowed you to the great master of the National Duke Ning Palace …"

Now, Zhang Yuanqing could barely be considered part of the royalty, so he was barely able to say a few words to criticize the emperor.

However, no one dared to say anything.

Lin Jia said softly, "I can't figure out the Emperor's thoughts, he probably saw that my fifth sister and Master Ningguogongfuda were around the same age, that's why he had such a thought."

Everyone could only follow and laugh dryly.

Lin Shu felt it was strange, what was going on? The others did not know about this, how could Lin Jia and Zhang Yuanqing not know? If the Empress Zhang hadn't added fuel to the fire in front of the emperor, how would the emperor have thought of bestowing marriage?

She only pretended not to understand what he meant.

Everyone laughed, many of them said that the hot peach blossoms in their hearts were blossoming well, and that they were going to the garden to take a look at the peach blossoms. Lin Jia was also willing to have his own younger sister step forward to marry Lin Qian, so it wasn't difficult for her to appear in front of everyone.

This had interacted with the crowd for a long time, and now that they had more connections, their future path would be much easier.

So, Lin Jia allowed Lin Hui to bring a lot of madams and wives to the flower garden, but she only kept Lin Shu there, "Come, fifth sister, accompany me this once, that girl from Sis Hui'er always has a calm personality, I can't sit still. I really like your calm personality."

Lin Shu did not care about Lin Hui's eager gaze, and could only stay.

Zhang Yuanqing also sat down at the side, and looked at her while smiling, and after a few perfunctory words, Lin Jia went straight to the point: "Since we have nothing to do, why not Sister Shu accompany me to take a look at my mother, and just saw that she did not look too well, and probably went back to the courtyard."

Lin Shu nodded her head, "Then big sister, I will accompany you there."

Zhang Yuanqing also stood up, "Then I also need to go and take a look, I did not see Madam Hou just now, it has been a long time since I saw her, I miss her."

Heh, what he said was interesting, since when did it cross paths with the First Madam? They were probably trying to pull her along, say something, and do something!

Lin Shu laughed: "Since the two of you want to go, then I will go with you." She was looking forward to what she had to say.

The three women walked towards the courtyard of First Madam together. Although it was already early spring, the weather was still cold. A breeze blew across the courtyard, filling it with the fragrance of peach blossoms.

After Zhang Yuanqing left, he said softly: "Sister Shu, I'm sorry …"

Lin Shu pretended not to understand, "Un, what is Lateral Consort Zhang saying? Why can't I understand it? Why did she just say she was sorry for coming? "As if you had nothing to do with me?"

Previously, Zhang Yuanqing wanted to play dumb with her, but she might as well play dumb to the end.

Zhang Yuanqing's eyes immediately reddened, he took the handkerchief from the servant and wiped his eyes, "Sister Shu, I really do not know what Third Princess did that day …"

At this time, he had already left. What was he going to do now?

started to look down on Zhang Yuanqing more and more. Elder Zhang had been upright and upright for his entire life, how could he have such a granddaughter?

Zhang Yuanqing grabbed her arm and said softly, "I … I really didn't know that Third Princess would have such thoughts. Sister Shu, can you forgive me? "

Lin Shu did not speak.

She's not stupid.

Zhang Yuanqing held her arm even more tightly, "You don't know, that day after the Third Prince went to the palace, he went to find Third Princess. After the Third Prince left, Third Princess was a little stunned. has not been carried back. "

"When I talked about this later, the Third Prince only said that the Young Princess would stay by the empress dowager's side in the future. He also said that the Third Princess couldn't take care of the Young Princess properly and had the empress dowager take care of her. Right now, I do not want to say anything, if you are not willing to forgive me, I am not able to say anything, but, but, it was really Third Princess who said it so firmly that day, if not I would have stood on your side. "

If Lin Shu believed what she said, then she would really be a fool.

If Zhang Yuanqing did not help Third Princess, how would Third Princess be able to think of such a malicious method?

She still remembered everyone's evaluation of the Third Princess in her previous life. Their aptitude was average, their appearances were average, and their family background was average … It was as if there was nothing special about him.

Lin Shu laughed, and said: "Lateral Consort Zhang, everything is over, there's no need to say such words." Whether or not Zhang Yuanqing apologized was her problem, but whether or not she accepted it was entirely up to Lin Shu.

After Lin Jia heard this, she also followed to smooth things over, "Sister Shu, you shouldn't be too petty, you grew up together with Zhang Lateral Consort, logically speaking, you should be the clearest about her character, I believe she definitely did not mean it …"

The two of them were singing along, causing Lin Shu to feel a headache, she raised her voice and interrupted the two of them, "It's precisely because I know what character Lateral Consort Zhang has, that I can't completely believe what she's saying right now!"

The atmosphere immediately became cold, and Lin Jia was unable to recover from it.

Whether it was in the capital or in the Forin, she had always bragged about this lady's ability. However, this was the first time she had fallen out with her wife.

However, Lin Shu was not afraid of anything. She, Lin Jia and Zhang Yuanqing had nothing to say since a long time ago, "You are more clear than anyone else about the role that you played in that matter with Lateral Consort Zhang. Now that the Third Prince has blamed all of his mistakes on Third Princess, don't tell me you don't have any responsibilities at all? "In fact, even if we were to add fuel to the fire, the third prince would still believe it, but I will not believe it."

Saying that, she took a step back and looked at the two people in front of her, "If you two want me to go with you two to see First Aunt, then I will go with you two to see First Aunt. After all, First Aunt has always been nice to me, but if you two want to survive, then think of other ways, then I won't accompany you!"

She had nothing to say to these two!

She turned to go.

However, Lin Jia raised his voice and stopped her, "Alright, Fifth sister is a smart person, then let's put it bluntly, are you really willing to marry Lu Jingran from the National Duke Ning Palace?"

Lin Shu turned around and looked at her coldly: "Big sister, what do you mean by that?"

"Fifth sister is an understanding person, I believe that if you send people to ask around, they would be able to find out Lu Jingran's reputation. Fifth sister's life is so good, and also so smart, if she were to marry Lu Jingran, I'm afraid that my entire life will be ruined! " Lin Jia had also come here at Lin Shu's age, so she knew what marriage meant to a girl, "Is Fifth Sister willing? If it was me, I wouldn't be willing. "

"Are you willing? So what if he was unwilling? Do I really have a choice? " Lin Shu's voice was light as he looked at the two people in front of him warily, "Back then when big sister married into the First Princess Pingning's Palace, she seemed to be unwilling, but in the end? Didn't she just obediently marry him … Now that the marriage between me and Master Ningguogongfuda was bestowed to me by the Emperor, there is no room for change. "

At this moment, she felt that marrying Lu Jingran … It seemed to be pretty good, "Big sister, you don't have to keep me in suspense. Just say whatever you want to say."

Lin Jia looked around, and said softly: "Then let's find a quiet place to talk." Today, they were asked by the Empress Zhang to come here, so they could not make a decision regarding the matters that were undone. If they made people listen to their words, then the two of them would definitely not end up well.
