First Madam heaved a long sigh, and said somewhat helplessly: "If I were your Second Aunt, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to be happy. You don't know what kind of trouble the Duke Andong Mansion has been causing these past few days!"
The First Madam normally valued face and rules, the Grand Madam valued face, and the two had a completely different meaning. He had even watched the young ladies of the Lin Family grow up, so from the bottom of her heart, she hoped that these young ladies would live a good life.
Lin Shu could not help but ask again, "What exactly happened?"
She felt that she had only been married for a few days, how could she not know many things?
The First Madam, on the other hand, was hesitant. She was a young lady from the Kong Family of Jin'ling. She had been taught by the mama since she was young not to speak ill of others behind their backs.
But Lin Hui did not care about all this, and said loudly: "I was prepared to tell you about this today! I know you will be interested, but I heard that the Second Sister killed someone! "
What?
Lin Shu felt very astonished, "How can Second Sister kill people?" In his previous life, there didn't seem to be such a thing.
In the beginning, when he heard the news he was a hundred times more shocked than her, "The one who died was an aunt, only the Duke Andong's madam gave it to Second Brother-in-law, so this matter does not have all the responsibilities of a Second Sister. Ever since the Second Sister married into the Duke Andong Palace, his relationship with her has never been harmonious, and after only a few months of marriage, Duke Andong’s wife had already sent a few people to their rooms."
"It's not like you don't know the character of the Second Sister, it's usually very strong, how can you take it lying down?" It's not like you don't know the character of the Second Sister, it's usually very strong, how can you take it lying down, and it's natural that you wouldn't care about those few aunts.
"As time went on, the relationship between Second Sister and Second Brother-in-law got worse and worse. Who knew that the few aunts had tricks up their sleeves as well? Seeing Second Sister and Second Brother-in-law leaving the office happily, they tried their best to rope Second Brother-in-law in, and gradually, Second Brother-in-law spent more and more time in their room." The strongest is that Aunt Wang. Don't think that she was born small, but she has a belly full of evil tricks, acting pitiful in front of Second Brother-in-law all day long. But when she came in front of Second Sister, she was indeed carrying a spear.
"Once, when Aunt Wang went to give her an invitation to speak rudely, Second Sister really couldn't hold back and slapped him. At that time, Aunt Wang was making a ruckus and wanted to find Duke Andong’s wife, while she even went to complain to Second Sister's husband, and at that time, Second Sister also noticed that something was wrong and thought that she was trapped and couldn't let her go. The two of them started arguing, but Second Sister actually accidentally knocked over the embroidery frame on the side, and the scissors in the basket even poked their way into Aunt Wang's stomach."
Saying that, she could not help but let out a long sigh, "Although this matter has been temporarily suppressed, many people already know about it … The Aunt Er is still hiding this from us, I keep having the feeling that this matter can still be suppressed by the Elder Jiangge, but the meaning of the Duke Andong Palace isn't suppressed at all, this is the most difficult part! "
"If this matter were to be spread out, not only would the Second Sister's reputation be ruined, there might even be some ruckus in the Duke Andong Palace asking for a wife."
She had always been a gossiper, and these were words she had heard from the mouths of others. It was easy to imagine that this matter had already become the talk of the town.
The more Lin Shu heard, the more she felt that something was wrong. In her previous life, not to mention that Aunt Wang had died, even the County Prince s of the Duke Andong Palace did not have a single concubine serving them, and she had even seen Lin Qian as an eyesore. Whatever Lin Qian said, Duke Andong’s wife would still make things more difficult for him, but it did not seem to be of much use.
When she had died in her previous life, she had only heard that Lin Qian and her mother-in-law did not have a good relationship, but she had never heard that she had a bad relationship with the County Prince Palace.
Why did the events of this life get stranger and stranger? No wonder the Second Madam was so gloomy.
Even the Madam Lian could not help but sigh, "To be frank, this Madame Wang is only a concubine that a maid carried out. I reckon that the indenture contract is still in the hands of the Duke Andong’s wife, if the Duke Andong’s wife was serious, this matter would not have spread to the outside world."
Lin Shu nodded her head, "That's right, at that time, not to mention needing the Jiang Family, even if the people from the Duke Andong Palace were to suppress it, no one would hear a thing, but looking at the intentions of the Duke Andong Palace now, I'm afraid it would be hard to say."
In his previous life, Lin Qian could be said to be suppressing Duke Andong’s wife, but in this life, Duke Andong’s wife was suppressing Lin Qian completely … To put it bluntly, which side this man stood on was extremely important.
Fortunately, she didn't have to worry about that.
However, the Aunt Lian scoffed, "I actually feel that the Duke Andong Palace was in the wrong in doing this, if they really cannot tolerate Lin Qian, then they should go and report this to the officials, after all, that Aunt Wang was originally served by the Duke Andong’s wife, so logically, the Duke Andong’s wife should have some feelings for her, but today they are dragging it on and not reporting it, all because they are afraid of offending Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion and Jiang Family."
"I've seen many of these people. He obviously wants to talk about the conditions of others with the help of others, but he wants to be a whore and also wants to set up a memorial archway. He doesn't say anything and only waits for others to say it. This Duke Andong Palace is actually the Honorable House of the capital.
It was really hard to explain in rough terms!
Lin Shu understood that this kind of little trick was something her aunt had seen too many times in the Yangzhou. Although the Duke Andong Palace was still the Honorable House, no official had come up with these ideas, and even if there was, they would only be sixth or seventh grade officials.
Seeing that the Duke Andong Palace was about to fall into decline day by day, how could the Duke Andong’s wife s sit still? Especially when she thought of his son's mediocre aptitude; not to mention that he had not even a High Scholar. There was no one in the court who could match him, and defeat him was only a matter of time!
Originally, Duke Andong’s wife wanted to help his son get a good wife, but other people did not see him as such, so his gaze was set on Lin Qian. After all, Lin Qian had an uncle who was a pavilion elder, an uncle who was a Assistant Minister, and Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion who was behind him.
After the two of them got married, Duke Andong’s wife also visited them at the Jiang Family a few times. Elder Jiangge also said that he would help the son of the Duke Andong Palace, but the talent of the County Prince Palace's County Prince s were really too mediocre, it was simply mud that could not support a wall.
In the end, the Elder Jiangge did not take the Duke Andong s of the Duke Andong Palace to heart either … Who knows, perhaps Aunt Wang's matter was arranged by the Duke Andong’s wife in the first place …
Thinking about it, Lin Shu still felt that she shouldn't have thought of the Duke Andong’s wife so badly.
Waiting for Lin Shu to sit on the carriage and talk about this to Lu Jingran.
Even Lu Jingran couldn't help but exclaim: "... I never thought that a woman like Aunt would have such foresight. Even though I am not too clear about the matter of Duke Andong's Inner Mansion, I have vaguely heard that Duke Andong is extremely fearful of inside and outside.
Once, when we were drinking with the Duke Andong, we made fun of his, we said that he had a female tiger, but the Duke Andong, on the other hand, only laughed at his words, not daring to refute!
somewhat understood why the successor of the Duke Andong Palace would be so afraid of Lin Qian!
He was afraid that he had been infected by it since he was young!
Lin Shu glanced at Lu Jingran, and saw that he had closed his eyes slightly. He frowned, and looked extremely uncomfortable, "Did you drink a lot today?"
Lu Jingran squeezed her hand, "I'm fine, I didn't drink much, but I drank too much. In the beginning, when Big Cousin brought out the pear blossom white bestowed by His Majesty, First Uncle also brought out the osmanthus wine that he had stored for many years, and later on, he drank some rouge red.
Today, compared to Lin Pei, Xin Zhong Hou and his son were even more intimate to him.
Actually, Lin Pei also liked to store good wine, but he couldn't bear to take it out today!
But now, Lin Shu didn't plan to care about all this, and grabbed his hand instead, "If you really feel terrible, why don't you lean on my shoulder for a while? There's still a bit more to go back to! "
Lu Jingran opened his eyes and smiled at her, "Leaning on your shoulder?"
Lin Shu nodded solemnly.
Lu Jingran put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Sister Shu, no matter what happens, I will always be the one protecting you!"
Pausing for a moment, he continued, "We should start to prepare for the matters regarding mother-in-law and Li."
Today at Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, he only felt awkward, it was indescribably awkward. Other than the long room, no one else seemed to have sincerely welcomed him, but on everyone's faces, they revealed extremely happy expressions, especially when Lin Pei called them "brother-in-law", wasn't it tiring?
He knew that Lin Shu was worried about something, and would naturally take Lin Shu's worries to heart.
Lin Shu frowned: "That fast? "Today, I forgot about this matter. I didn't even have the chance to tell mother …"
"That doesn't matter, you are already married, so I believe that my mother-in-law is willing to leave, as long as Lin Pei agrees." Lu Jingran was already holding onto the witness and physical evidence, he never thought that Lin Pei would reject him, unless Lin Pei did not plan to become an official, "Don't worry, just leave this matter to me … In a few days, you will have invited your mother to come to the National Duke Ning Palace and inform her! It's also a good chance for me to let my mother-in-law come over to see you, so that she won't be worried about me bullying you! "
He had seen the eyes that were lingering on Lin Shu's face today!
