Lin Shu kept thinking about what her mother had just said about Lin Qian. However, she had waited all the way until lunch was served, and Lin Jia and her husband had already returned. Lin Qian and the County Prince s of Duke Andong Palace had not yet appeared.
However, Lin Shu felt that it was strange, as though no one mentioned Lin Hui and the County Prince s of the Duke Andong Palace, as though it was already expected that they hadn't come today.
Lin Shu felt that it had only been a few days since she was married, how could she not know about many things?
Waiting until the food was already served and Lin Qian still had not come, the First Madam smiled and said: "The month in Madam Ye is getting late, it's inconvenient for my body, so I won't be coming over. But why haven't they seen Sister Qian and the rest return yet? "
"Look at my memory, I've actually forgotten about it. Sister Qian previously told me that there are a lot of things going on in the Duke Andong's Residence, as the Mrs. Shizi, she should help out, and said that if there's a chance, she would definitely rush back, but seeing this situation, I'm afraid that the couple will not be able to make it back!"
Saying that, he turned his head to look at Lin Shu, "Sister Shu, you wouldn't blame your Second Sister right?"
Lin Shu laughed, and said: Of course not, why would us sisters care so much about each other? When I have time, I will go to Duke Andong Palace to see the Second Sister s again, it will be the same. "
Second Madam was very pleased, "You really are a good child. Once you get married, you will be like an adult. You are really different!"
After saying that, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Among them, everyone understood in their hearts that it was just that they did not want to expose the existence of the Second Madam. It was likely that the Second Madam had already known that Lin Qian would not come today … After all, the entire Duke Andong Palace was in chaos.
What had happened?
Lin Shu could not help but raise her head to look at Lin Hui, only to see him winking at her.
Actually, Lin Jia had never planned to come here today. After all, she and Lin Shu had already shed all pretense of cordiality, so why must she come here to get this dissatisfaction? But when First Madam knew what she was thinking, she only sent a letter to her, and directly told her that regardless of whether it was Lin Shu or Madam Lian, they were both extremely good people, and that they should not anger the sisters for some trivial matters outside. Furthermore, Lin Hui always treated Lin Shu as if she was her own sister, if she did that, Lin Hui would be unhappy.
Lin Jia did not care about Lin Shu's face, but she did not want to upset her own sister. Thinking of Lin Hui, she decided to come in the end.
It was one thing if they did not come together, but Second Madam and Lin Jia were still deep in their hearts, so this meal was naturally a little boring. They could only hear Lin Hui pulling Lin Shu along as they chattered, asking some questions about the Peace Faction, while Madam Lian smiled on the side as she listened, while the others did not say anything.
When lunch was finished and everyone was drinking their tea, Lin Shu could not help but ask about the Madam Ye, "A few days before I was married, Big Sis said that she was feeling unwell. Has the imperial physician come to see her? What do you mean? Does it matter? "
The First Madam's eyes were filled with laughter. "The imperial physician has come to visit and said that it's fine, after drinking two pills, your sister-in-law should be fine. But the imperial physician said that it's better for her to stay in bed and rest, lest there's any mishap."
"Of course!" Lin Shu had a good impression of the Madam Ye, "Everyone says that sister-in-law has a sharp stomach, so she must be a son!"
"That would be for the best!" In fact, First Madam didn't mind, since she was still young. Even if she was her daughter now, she would definitely have a son in the future, not to mention, if Madam Ye gave birth to a cute granddaughter like her, she would also be very curious.
In all of the He’s Mansion, the person who looked forward to seeing Madam Ye having a son the most was most likely Grand Madam.
She didn't know how many days she would have to live after she grew old. After all, she couldn't just watch her Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion die, and she had even secretly told the Madam Ye several times. If the Madam Ye gave birth to a son, it would give him and his unborn great-grandson a lot of good things.
When Madam Ye heard this, she was naturally at a loss of whether to laugh or cry.
Sister Pearl and the Juan Niang were arguing at the side. When the Sister Pearl heard them mention the child in Madam Ye's womb, she said proudly: "I'm going to be a big sister soon, I'm going to be a big sister soon. Juan Niang, when can you be a big sister?"
A little girl carved from jade was looking forward to becoming a big sister. The wet nurse had told her that if she wanted to be a big sister, she would grow up. How could a child not be eager to grow up?
Juan Niang was around the same age as her, so she thought about how Sister Pearl had to be her big sister, and was naturally unwilling to admit defeat. She hurriedly looked at Lin Jia, "Mother! Mother! When can I be a sister? "
It was fine that she did not ask, but when she asked this question, Lin Jia's face became gloomy, "Now that the elders are drinking tea and talking, how noisy are you two making?"
As she spoke, she raised her voice even more and said, "Milkman, bring Juan Niang over here!"
She was feeling really bad, now that the two concubines that First Princess Pingning had stuffed in were pregnant, one of them was already an aunt and her stomach was very sharp. Everyone said that the one in her stomach must be a boy.
There was also an aunt who had just been diagnosed to be pregnant a few days ago!
It was a pity that she had eaten so many tonics and used so many side recipes, yet her stomach didn't move at all even after so long.
First Madam glanced at her, "What are you getting angry at Juan Niang for? Juan Niang is so small, what can she possibly know? "
As she said that, she ordered the wet nurse to carry Juan Niang out to play. The pitiful thin and small Juan Niang was still struggling in her embrace, crying as she begged for his mother's embrace!
Lin Jia drank her tea and pretended not to hear anything.
In the dead of night, she would always think that if Juan Niang was just a son, then she wouldn't have to endure all those supercilious looks from First Princess Pingning. She also wouldn't have to spend all her time in the palace, go to the Third Prince's Mansion and Zhang Yuanqing's side, and even more so, wouldn't have to face the existence of the two aunts in this courtyard.
She suddenly lost all interest.
However, Lin Shu still continued drinking her tea, as if nothing had happened. In truth, at this point, who could Lin Jia blame?
She thought that the First Princess Pingning was fond of her, and wanted to show her face in front of the Empress Zhang. She also wanted to have children as soon as possible … How could there be such a good thing in the world? Since he wanted to have children, he might as well stay in the house and drink some medicine to recuperate his body.
Ever since the First Princess Pingning returned to the capital, he made arrangements for his own little son to be seen by his uncles a few times. After that, he did not come out again to walk around.
However, during this period of time, Lin Jia and Zhang Yuanqing had made quite a name for themselves in the capital.
Even Lin Hui could not help but look at Lin Jia, "Elder sister, you scared Juan Niang just now! Not to mention the Juan Niang, even the Sister Pearl was shocked! A child doesn't have the heart to talk. Why are you angry at her? "
She felt that Lin Jia's temper was getting worse by the day. Originally, Lin Jia was a bit strict with him, but most of it could be considered gentle.
Lin Jia didn't even want to bother with her and stood up, "My heart is in a mess, I want to go for a walk!" She was used to being strong, so she didn't want to put up with everyone's pitiful stares.
Lin Hui only muttered: "It's really strange!"
First Madam couldn't help but come out to smooth things over, "Alright! Alright! You and your sister talk less each, and you know that your sister is not feeling well, so why bother her? "
Saying that, she only needed the wet nurse to carry Sister Pearl out, so that she would not cry outside. There was not a single person accompanying her to play, "Tell me, our new Young Master will be coming soon. I'm afraid that if he was happy to have received the seal, he would have forgotten about his previous displeasure."
After a few more words, the men who were eating in the outer courtyard all went to the main hall of the Green Pine Academy.
Because Grand Madam had already given Lu Jingran a gift this morning, coupled with the fact that his body and bones were not good, he did not show himself this time around.
The female had also been moved to the main hall, and the one who was walking in front was naturally Lin Hui's father, Fu Cheng.
But Lin Shu actually caught sight of Lu Jingran with a single glance. Today, Lu Jingran was dressed in a profound robe, making him stand out among the group, his posture was upright and straight like a pine tree, and a slight smile hung on his face.
Seeing that, Lin Shu could not help but smile, even she herself did not notice.
She saw that Lu Jingran was also smiling at her.
On the other hand, Lin Lian who was seated beside Lin Shu frowned. This person … This person was her Fourth Brother-in-law, Lu Jingran?
She was stunned!
Everyone said that Duke Chengan from the Duke Chengan Palace was a famous and beautiful man in the capital, but why was it that no one had ever told her that Lu Jingran was born with a better view than Shao Shengping?
Shao Shengping's life was good, but because he was a scholar, his body had a bit of a feminine temperament, but Lu Jingran's posture was straight, his entire body was releasing a heroic, valiant aura. However, at first glance, he was actually much weaker than Shao Shengping.
This Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, whether it was Lin Jia or Lin Hui, they both married pretty well. She thought that even if she was going to be a concubine, she would still be able to beat Lin Shu, but now it didn't seem to be the case …
At first, she thought Lu Jingran was the same as the other hedonistic sons outside who only knew how to eat, drink and play. He had a wretched look on his face, but she never thought that she would be so handsome!
Immediately, the expression on Lin Lian's face became even more unsightly.
Now that all of Lin Shu's eyes were on Lu Jingran's face, how could he have the heart to look at her?
On the other hand, First Madam immediately ordered the servants to bring the brothers and sisters in, while Lu Jingran went in to pay respects to the elders.
