Lu Jingran did not continue, but instead walked straight in front of Lin Shu and asked: "Are you willing to marry me?"

Lin Shu was startled, "Everything is fine, why do you ask such a thing? "What's going on?"

Lu Jingran repeated what he had said just now, "Let me ask, are you willing to marry me?"

An ordinary girl would only lower their head and blush when they heard such words, but Lin Shu raised his head and looked into her eyes, enunciating every word, "I am willing to marry you!"

That was enough!

Lu Jingran no longer wanted to ask Lin Shu why she had met with the Eighth Prince anymore. Just what had Lin Shu and the Eighth Prince said.

He didn't care!

He pinched Lin Shu's chin and kissed it lightly.

Lin Shu looked at Lu Jingran's face in front of him, and his face grew larger and larger, until the end where he felt his lips were soft and his mind was blank.

As a person of two lifetimes, it wasn't that Lin Shu hadn't experienced the matters between a man and a woman, but that she might have never kissed her in her previous life.

Now, Lin Shu only felt that her lips had turned soft and her heart was thumping hard like a little deer.

When Lu Jingran looked at her again, she actually felt a little embarrassed.

Lu Jingran actually burst out laughing. Who was Lin Shu, a Fourth Miss of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, was renowned in the capital for being bold and smart. It was as if she was not afraid of anything, but now she was feeling shy?

He looked at Lin Shu's pair of shy eyes, pinched her hands and said solemnly: "Sister Shu, I will take care of you for the rest of my life, and will take good care of you, and will definitely not let you down."

Lin Shu naturally believed it, and if not for believing it, she wouldn't be willing to marry Lu Jingran.

Using Aunt Lian's words, even if the emperor were to grant her marriage, there would still be a way out. At that time, there would be a casual reason, such as when she was young and had already decided to marry Lian Yao.

However, ever since she knew that she was going to marry Lu Jingran, she had never once thought of refusing …

"Don't worry, as long as you are safely prepared to marry into the National Duke Ning's Palace, even if life in the National Duke Ning's Palace isn't easy, with me here, I won't let anyone make trouble for you. Don't worry, in the future, I'll definitely make you the title lady!"

Lin Shu naturally believed in her previous life, how glorious was her previous life's National Duke Ning's wife, Chen Yao!

He thought for a moment, then asked: "Then, do you know the Chen Family's Third Miss?" Chen Yao was Lu Jingran's wife in his previous life!

Chen family's Third Miss?

Lu Jingran thought back to it carefully, and could vaguely remember that the old master Chen Ge had three daughters, and all three of them were beautiful!

When men were talking, they would naturally talk about girls. Many of them had already met the Chen family's eldest daughter and the Chen family's Second Miss, but only in these two years, these two girls were already old enough to walk out and talk about marriage.

As for this Chen Family Third Miss, there weren't many people who had ever seen him before.

However, there were also some who said that the Chen Family's Third Miss was born with a crescent moon-like flower, like a fairy from the heavens!

Lu Jingran nodded his head, and said: "I vaguely heard someone mention it."

This time, Lin Shu's hanging heart became a little more at ease, "Then have you seen her before?"

Lu Jingran said: Of course not, the rules of the Chen family's old home are very strict, the Chen family's young lady is not someone that can be seen easily, and the previous people said that they have not seen the appearance of the Chen family's young ladies for many years, and only the Chen family's young miss and Second Miss are engaged, and by chance, they have seen one or two of them.

"But look at the appearance of the Chen family's eldest daughter and Second Miss, the appearance of the Chen family's Third Miss shouldn't be too inferior."

He had seen a lot of beautiful girls. They were flirtatious, charming, pure, and talented … In his heart, none of them could compare to Lin Shu.

He thought for a moment and said, "They say that the Chen family's Second Miss has already promised the Duke Chengan of the Duke Chengan Palace, and that the date has already been decided. And your fifth sister, I heard that she is going to marry you as a concubine …"

He wasn't a very gossipy person, but because this matter concerned the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, he paid more attention to it.

The Duke Chengan Palace was no longer as strong as they were back then. Logically speaking, the Palace should have been a little too powerful to marry a direct descendant of the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion.

Although he was this year's Master Top Scorer, with his status, many people would look up to him. One had to know that Master Top Scorer had this title every year.

But not only did he say that Grand Secretary Chen married his granddaughter to him, he even said that she was his concubine … Even though Lin Lian was born out of wedlock, she was famous for her beauty in the capital. Since Lin Pei's official career was smooth sailing, it would be easy for him to marry an ordinary official.

Everyone could not help but praise Shao Shengping for his good fortune, but Shao Shengping only raised his wine cup and laughed, saying that he did not want to marry Lin Lian. Immediately, the crowd looked at him with even more envy.

Lin Shu smiled, "Yes, we originally said that she was the principal wife, but now she has become a concubine. Lin Lian was initially very angry, but after being angry for a while, she realized that it's nothing much …" Furthermore, Grandmother also said that regardless of whether she is a wife or a concubine, she is still a young lady from Hou Mansion. No matter how much dowry the House has given us, she will not be missing anything.

The Grand Madam was smart, he wouldn't lose his reputation for such a small matter.

Moreover, there had always been a rule in Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion. This lady had only taken out three thousand silver taels when she came out of the marriage house.

Without mentioning anything else, Lin Qian had raised close to ten thousand or twenty thousand silver for the dowry, and the day she left the pavilion, her dowry was full to the brim with one hundred and eight pieces of it. But the contents of the dowry box, whether it was good or bad, would only be known to the people from the Duke Andong Palace and the Second Madam.

However, when Lin Qian went back to her room a few days ago, her expression did not look good. After bowing to Grand Madam, he did not even want to bother with Lin Shu and the others, and even hid herself in the courtyard of the Second Madam, crying and saying something to them.

At that time, Duke Andong Palace's County Prince stood to the side, feeling extremely awkward. He walked forward, wanting to support Lin Qian's carriage, but he had only fiercely flung away County Prince Palace's County Prince's hand.

Even a fool would know that this young couple was unhappy. When the time came, not to mention Lin Lian, it would be even more difficult for her to live in the future.

Lu Jingran nodded his head, "After what she did to you before, now that she has ended up like this, it can be considered as retribution … I think that since she's married into the Duke Chengan Palace, he might not be able to live a good life. Although the County Prince s of the Duke Chengan Palace are talented and outstanding, they aren't really good people. "

"How did you know?" Lin Shu knew Shao Shengping's true appearance, and it was two years after their marriage. She remembered that Lu Jingran and his had never interacted with each other before, so how did she know about it?

Lu Jingran laughed, "Because everyone says he is good, there doesn't seem to be any problems!"

"Before, I was at loggerheads with Young Master Guo Family, but everyone knew that Shao Shengping and I had eaten a few meals and drank some alcohol, so there was a few sentences that were discussed in the Conference. At that time, Shao Shengping also agreed with everything that we said, and I only thought that Shao Shengping was looking down on the little Young Master Guo Family from the bottom of his heart, but who would have thought that a few days later, we would see him and Young Master Guo Family together at the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion entrance as we went to a private room."

At the time, I thought it was strange. Since he looked down on the young master of the Guo family from the bottom of his heart, why did he have to interact with the young master of the Guo family?" If the young master of the Guo Family were to mention me in front of him, how would he respond? She might just agree with him … Such a person can gain the support of the masses in a short time, but after a long time, when everyone discovers his true appearance, who would be willing to interact with him? How can such a person be considered a gentleman?

In his opinion, admiring a person's character was equivalent to interacting with that person … On the surface, he might look like a popinjay with some friends, but he dared to say that he was sincere towards his friends.

Lu Jingran understood this logic, but he was unable to extricate himself from his deep love for Lin Shu in his previous life. When everyone said that Shao Shengping was good, she felt that Shao Shengping was the best person in the world.

Thinking about it now, it was all a joke, "But I'm very happy looking at Lin Lian, I'm afraid that she might be able to marry one of the Chen Family's Second Miss s, it's just that she never thought that the Chen Family's young ladies are not so simple."

With that, she smiled faintly, "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Whether he's good or bad in the future, it has nothing to do with me."

"That's true!" Lu Jingran nodded his head, and said: "In the beginning, she treated you like that, but in return for your kindness, not only did she not accept your kindness, he kept thinking of ways to make things difficult for you. In the end, you two are only sisters who are of the same father, how could you have such a father …"

Saying that, his voice lowered a bit, "The people I sent out already got some information, there are people from the nunneries who can testify that your father went to see the Princess Changze before he died, and there are also people from the back door who said that they often saw a handsome man coming in late at night. I sent people to take your father's portrait, and they said that it was your father."

"Although I don't have complete evidence to prove to the emperor that your father is related to Princess Changze, if something like this were to be planted with the seeds of suspicion, given the emperor's and esteemed empress dowager's personality, your father won't be able to get promoted, not to mention that there's still the King Rui. They won't let him go …" When that time comes, if you use this matter to threaten your father, he will definitely agree to it. "
