Madam Lian couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when she heard this, "That's good news for you. You didn't know that I was worried that you wouldn't be able to eat or sleep well these few days. You have always been spoiled by me.
They all said that they were worried, even if Lin Shu went to the National Duke Ning Palace, which was only a distance of an hour, she was still extremely worried, and there was not a single moment in the past few days that she was not worried, "Furthermore, I have also heard of the National Duke Ning before, but it is not as good as they think it is … Since the National Duke Ning was born, she did not put anyone in her eyes. She was not easy to get along with, and the Second Madam in the National Duke Ning Palace was also extremely intelligent!
"You sure seem smart everyday. I wonder if you can handle that kind of place!"
His words were full of worry.
Lin Shu smiled and nodded, "Of course I can handle it. Don't you think about how smart your daughter is, what can be so difficult to deal with me?"
When Madam Lian heard this, she smilingly patted on the back of her hand, "Smooth talker!"
Even though she heard Lin Shu's words, she still felt a bit worried, afraid that Lin Shu would only say such words to reassure her.
Lin Shu also knew that her mother was not completely at ease. After all, she was afraid of her mother at first, and had kept many secrets from her mother, but now that she had said a few words, even Yun Dou had interjected, "Madam, you don't know how good our Young Master is to his daughter. You just want to hold her up in your hands and keep her in your mouth, so every day you have to ask her whether she is hungry or not.
She had been round since she was young, and although she had lost some weight since she was thirteen or fourteen years old, she was still as round as ever.
Madam Lian knew that she would not lie, so she only said, "Alright! Good! "If you are doing well, I will be most at ease!"
With that, she turned her head to look at Furong and Yunji, who were standing behind them, before instructing, "The two of you, go ahead and take a look. See if Eldest and Second Aunt and Second Aunt have come over yet."
Fleur knew that his wife had something to say to the girl, so she went down with her.
Lin Shu also knew what his mother meant and only looked at her.
But Lin Shu waited for a long time, and still did not hear her speak.
Madam Lian was also hesitating, thinking back to what her sister-in-law had warned her before, she was unable to say it, but after thinking about it, if these words were not even said by herself, as her mother, then who else would say it? She clenched her teeth and asked softly: "Sister Shu, have you and Young Master consummated yet?"
Just as a light breeze blew over, the bamboo on the Green Pine Academy began to rustle.
Lin Shu thought she had heard wrongly, "What did you say?"
Madam Lian only felt that her face was about to turn red and bleed. She glanced at her, "I'm asking if you and Young Master have a consummate marriage …."
This was too embarrassing!
As a person of two lifetimes, Lin Shu had never been this embarrassed. In her previous life, not to mention someone asking her these questions, even before she got married, no one had mentioned anything about her.
She nodded slightly, not daring to raise her head from the start.
Madam Lian also felt very awkward. She took a few sips of tea and asked: "Then, will Young Master treat you well?"
"He treats me very well!" Lin Shu had already repeated these words several times, but after she carefully savored them, she realized that the good in her mother's words was most likely different from the good in her heart.
She was hesitating again … What would she say?
Could it be that she had to tell her mother that Lu Jingran had wanted her to marry three times on their wedding night? Even if he were to take her life, she would not be able to say those words …
Seeing that she did not speak, Madam Lian already understood a little, "Why is it that this girl is only married, the first few times it hurt, it doesn't matter, just a few more times it'll be fine … Also, have you seen the booklet I gave you? "
The pamphlet was about men and women.
One had to know that this girl's house was too rigid. It wasn't a good thing at all. This was the reason why there were so many wives in a man's house, and she even liked to go to those fireworks!
She was afraid that Lin Shu would follow the rules of etiquette, so she decided to leave her young master. After all, she had heard that this young master had many female friends outside, and she was afraid that Lin Shu would not live a good life.
Lin Shu shook her head, her voice was as low as a mosquito's buzz. The booklet had already been placed at the bottom of the chest. If someone else were to see it, it would truly be embarrassing to death … Mother, I don't need those things! "
"Nonsense, you're a young lady who's only married now, what do you know?" Madam Lian looked at her, and thought that her sister-in-law's words to her earlier were indeed correct. She knew that Lin Shu would not look at those things, but there were some things that she had no choice but to learn, "Oh, you normally seem to be smart, but at such a crucial time, how did you become confused? You have just married into the National Duke Ning Palace, why would the people in this house come inside? Right now, the most important matter is to be peaceful and beautiful with Young Master. As long as Young Master is willing to protect you, the ancestors of National Duke Ning Palace will follow you.
Saying that, she let out a long sigh, "What's more, this Young Master probably has quite a number of bed-warming maid concubines by his side. If you don't rope him in during the wedding ceremony, then you'll have time to cry! Let's not talk about the others, just Lin Qian alone, how many good days have she gone through? "
Lin Shu had not heard about Lin Qian's situation for a long time, and only said in a low voice: "Mother, he does not have a concubine by his side. The National Duke Ning Palace has its own rules, a man can only take in a concubine when he is forty years old without a son!"
Saying that, she paused for a moment, "But what exactly is happening at Second Sister?"
Now, Madam Lian did not have the mood to discuss about Lin Qian's matter, and could only ask: "Then since Young Master does not have a concubine by your side, does he have a bed-warming maid?"
Usually, when a man from a noble family was not married yet, he would have a servant girl that would teach him the affairs of man and woman. This maid was bed-warming maid, and many bed-warming maid servants had changed from maidservants to aunts.
Originally, there were some from the bed-warming maid s by Lin Pei's side, but they were only lucky because in the end, they did not meet a good end.
Lin Shu shook her head, "According to what I know, the servants that served him at her side were mostly servants or maidservants, even if there were maidservants, they were all older. Or else, they were all unchosen, and should have been arranged by the Old Ancestor. This time, when I went to the National Duke Ning Palace, the Old Ancestor thought that there were not enough maids in the Banyan Garden, so he called a few maids over. The second rate maidservants in the Banyan Garden were also transferred from other places, so you can rest assured.
Originally, before she got married, someone had "kind-heartedly" mentioned her, saying that they didn't need to pick his beauty, and wanted her to pick a few more pretty maids as soon as possible so that he could use them as bed-warming maid. At that time, if Lu Jingran had any other aunts, he could bring these few bed-warming maid s to suppress those aunts.
Lin Shu rejected it without thinking!
When Madam Lian heard this, he could finally relax a little. However, she did not forget to explain, "You must study the booklet I gave you carefully!"
Lin Shu was very helpless, but she still agreed to it in the end.
After talking for a bit more, Hibiscus and Cloudbean returned. Hibiscus only said, "Lady, Miss, First Madam, and Third Aunt, Fifth Miss has already passed on her side chamber. I'm asking about you guys."
Just as Lin Hui stepped into the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion realm, she immediately said that she wanted to look for Lin Shu. However it was Nanny Chen who told her that Lin Shu was talking to Madam Lian, so she gave up.
Lin Shu and Madam Lian then went to the side chamber.
Grand Madam's body was very weak right now. After speaking a few words, he could no longer hold on and went back to rest.
Now, only First Madam, Second Madam, Lin Hui and Lin Lian remained in the side chamber.
Originally, Lin Hui was talking about something with First Madam, but when she saw your uncle coming over, she stood up and joked, "Oh, our Eldest Wife is here, quickly come and let me see if there's anything different!"
First Madam looked at her, at a loss of whether to laugh or cry. "You have been married for so long, how can you still have no rules?"
She had no way to deal with her daughter.
Lin Hui said seriously: "I saw that Third Sister is not happy, right? You too, I can't speak happily when I arrive at my parents' home, I'm afraid you'll really suffocate me! "
First Madam looked at her with a smile, "Can't you speak happily while we are in Huaiyin Palace?"
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became warm, but Lin Shu noticed that there was something wrong with Second Madam. There were many times when they asked Second Madam for his opinion, but she just reluctantly acknowledged it. This really did not resemble the character of Second Madam.
As for Lin Lian who was sitting in the corner drinking tea, her expression did not look good. As to why Lin Lian was unhappy about it, Lin Shu knew a little.
Even if Lin Lian was a concubine, he would still have to make the decision regarding and the Duke Chengan Palace, but who would have known that the people from the Duke Chengan Palace would push it aside again and again, saying that it was because the concubine did not enter the main hall before. And later on, they said that this Lin Lian and Shao Shengping's relationship was not on par, so the day that Lin Lian entered the room had to be pushed back a bit … Currently, Duke Chengan s of the Duke Chengan Palace had already been inside for a few months, but whenever Lin Pei didn't ask, the Duke Chengan Palace would always delay.
How could Lin Lian be happy about this? It had to be known that Shao Shengping was the current flower scouring master, Lin Lian had been hoping to marry into the Duke Chengan Palace to be a force to be reckoned with, and now that she was holding herself back and staying in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, it was normal for her not to want to speak.
