After Lu Jingran heard these words, he felt reassured. This was the Lin Shu that he knew, with his deep vision and intelligence.
He never thought that Lin Shu's thoughts were so clear, he actually felt that this matter had nothing to do with Lin Shu, since Lin Shu can do it so easily, then it would be for the best, "A person's good and evil does not lie in how others discuss it, but in the depths of their heart, there will definitely be a day when the true faces of those people from Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion are known by everyone, and people will definitely not be wrong when they think about it. There will be a day when they will pay the price for their actions."
Lin Shu nodded, looking very obedient.
Lu Jingran gently touched her forehead, "Good girl, these few days I have been recuperating peacefully in Banyan Garden, don't go anywhere, just wait until you are sick, I will bring you to the outskirts of the city to take a look, okay?"
And you still think of yourself as a child?
She remembered that when she was young, she had been ill and refused to drink the medicine. This was how the wet nurse had advised her!
Lin Shu could not help but burst out laughing. "Why are you still trying to be green now? [I'm afraid it will be early summer when I get better. How can I tread on cyan?] I'm afraid it will be so hot outside! "
In fact, as long as Lu Jingran had the intention, she was already very satisfied, "I know you have a lot of things to do, and you're usually very busy, so you don't need to worry about me, and you don't need to stand guard in front of me all day, doing whatever you have to do. They can also talk with me. "
Only then did Lu Jingran completely relax. Lin Shu never said those dignified words, if she said that there was nothing wrong, then there was nothing left.
Lin Shu was fine, but in this period of time, his Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion was still extremely unstable. Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion was originally the home of a first-rate noble family, but now, it had become the laughing stock of the crowd.
The news had even reached the palace.
On this day, the Eighth Prince went to pay respects to the Empress Zhang using his Kunning Palace. After walking just a few steps into the Kunning Palace, the palace maids came to greet them, and said softly: "Eighth Prince, you have come! Now that the empress and the National Duke Ning are inside talking, do you want to come back later? "
Eighth Prince nodded his head, "You don't have to care about me, I'll just walk around in the Kunning Palace!"
He knew that the relationship between Queen Mother and his aunt had always been good, and normally, the two of them would not even be able to finish their words. Furthermore, during this period of time, he was already feeling uncomfortable in his heart, and the heavy workload of his lessons had pressured him to the point where he couldn't even breathe.
But after a few steps, he realized that he had not seen his aunt for some days. She had come, and there was no reason not to greet him.
Immediately, his steps towards the direction of the flower garden changed, and he walked directly towards the inner room. This was because the words spoken by the National Duke Ning and Madam National Duke Ning did not allow anyone else to be present.
Right now the palace maids and Internal Service s were all hiding somewhere, and the Eighth Prince did not send anyone to inform anyone either. Just as he was about to push open the door and go in, he heard the voice of the Empress Zhang, "… Hearing you say that, I at that time heard your words correctly, with a woman like Lin Shu, marrying Eighth Brother to the Lateral Consort would be praising her, it is truly fortunate, it is truly fortunate! "
Eighth Prince immediately put his foot down.
Lin Shu?
What about Lin Shu?
Then, the voice of the National Duke Ning's wife came out, filled with ridicule and disdain, "They said that the Lian Family has so much silver, that it can be piled into a gold mountain, but the Madam Lin actually forced her own grandmother to death for a mere thirty thousand silver, if word of this gets out, she won't be afraid of ridicule!"
"If such a person really marries the Eighth Prince, who knows what he will do in the future? I don't know what kind of drug he drugged the ancestors and their grandchildren with to protect her like that. When I mentioned this to the Duke, the Duke just said that as long as the ancestor and his grandson liked it, they would take it. He told me not to interfere in this matter! "
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to bother about that. Even if the Madam Lin is not good, in the end, it was the Emperor who bestowed the marriage on us. Even if she set the National Duke Ning Palace on fire, no one would dare to ask for a divorce.
"The Old Ancestor actually wants to send Lu Jingran to the Jin Wu Wei? It's really a joke. If I don't see three days, Lu Jingran will create a huge mess! "
"I can see that Your Highness thinks much better than you. Whether this Madam Lin is good or not, what are you thinking? I have my own plans for that old ancestor. Don't disobey her in everything. As time passes, beware of the prince leaving you behind! As for Lin Shu, I will naturally be most at ease with you watching him. " The Empress Zhang's voice also carried a bit of a smile, but there was also a bit of luck in his words. Fortunately, Lin Shu had said those words to her back then, and had dispelled Eighth Prince's desire to marry, if not, she would not dare to think of the consequences that would befall upon her, "If you say this, then why don't you send Lu Jingran to the Jin Wu Wei first? I also asked big brother to go around and ask, it really isn't an easy matter to insert people into the Jin Wu Wei.
"That's why I said that your clan's ancestor was very tactful. Even before his finger was transferred to Mongolia, he had already informed me in advance and walked the right path. I'm afraid that he was just talking about it with the National Duke Ning and informed his about it. I'm afraid that he had already planned it all these years ago. You, are still too young to even compare with her!"
"Forget it!" Forget it! "Let's not talk about that anymore. I feel so upset whenever I talk about her!" Young Madam Zhang's voice was a little impatient, "Oh yes, how is Sister Yu now? Is she extremely happy that she knows that she's going to be married to the Eighth Prince? "
Sister Yu's name was Zhang Mengyu, and she was Elder Zhang's youngest daughter.
Because she and the Eighth Prince were childhood friends, it was a common occurrence. When Zhang Mengyu heard these words, she would always blush.
But every time Empress Zhang heard this, he would laugh it off.
Firstly, they wanted to borrow the Eighth Prince's marriage to gain some help for himself. Secondly, it was because the imperial wife was not an easy job to be, and other people didn't know that, but the Empress Zhang was very clear about this … She did not want to make his niece suffer!
However, when Empress Zhang found out that Eighth Prince wholeheartedly wanted to marry Lin Shu, he resolutely and decisively gave Zhang Mengyu the title of Chief Consort.
Now that she was mentioned, Empress Zhang's face was filled with smiles, "A few days ago, the Japanese palace sent someone to send a letter back, brother said that Sister Yu was obediently staying in the house to weave clothes and not going anywhere. Brother even said that seeing Sister Yu's appearance, I'm afraid she's overjoyed!"
"A few days ago, Esteemed Empress Dowager was asking about the Eighth Prince. Heh, all the old grannies in the world are the same. They can't even meet us!" It's one thing for the empress dowager to dislike me and my third son. Before, I thought he'd treat my eighth brother well out of filial piety, but who would've known that this person's heart was so far removed that only his own family would treat him so well! "
This time, she would absolutely not do as Empress Dowager Wang had wished. One must know that not only did Empress Dowager Wang have Wang Manjing by her side, there was even a Blue Luan by her side.
But Young Madam Zhang felt that these were all trivial matters, and were not worth mentioning, "Why are you so worried? Even if the empress dowager had her own schemes, could she have schemed against you? Let's not talk about the others by the side. Even if the empress dowager's identity wasn't ordinary, she was still a palace maid after all. How noble could she be? Lateral Consort Wang's figure and appearance were chosen, but wasn't she completely suppressed by Zhang Yuanqing in the Third Prince's Mansion? "
Right now, Zhang Yuanqing could be said to be one of a kind in this Third Prince's Mansion. On the thirtieth day of the month, the third prince wished that he could have twenty days to rest in her courtyard.
Unfortunately, her stomach still hadn't moved. She didn't know how many times she had taken the medicine and the imperial physician didn't know how many times, but there was still no sign of movement.
Even so, the crowd still said that in a few years, she would probably become the Third Princess and the empress of the future … Now that the Third Princess had completely lost the heart of the Third Prince, he was so ill that he couldn't even get up.
Eighth Prince's heart slowly turned cold. He did not want to hear what Empress Zhang and the others said after, so he turned around and left.
No matter what the empress dowager and the empress dowager planned, he didn't mind at all!
If he couldn't marry the one he loved, then what did it matter who he married?
Now, all that was left in his mind was the words her aunt had said just now. Lin Shu forced her own grandmother to die for a mere thirty thousand silver?
Naturally, he refused to believe it.
Even if everyone said that Lin Shu was not good, he would not believe them, because he believed in Lin Shu.
However, when he thought of how he was no longer related to this person, he couldn't help but feel unwell in his heart …
He had always been a reserved person. Ever since he was young, he had always wanted things that someone would bring to him with just a few glances.
Ever since he was young, the girls he had interacted with were all dignified and virtuous like Zhang Mengyu. All he knew was women's red and such things. If he were to spend his entire life with such a woman, how boring would that be …
Actually, he had long since sneaked out of the palace without telling anyone when Lin Shu returned. He stood behind the great banyan tree called Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion and personally saw Lu Jingran helping his subordinate out of the carriage.
At that time, Lin Shu's face was slowly filled with flirtatiousness, like a peony flower that had yet to bloom, shaking him to the point that he couldn't even open her eyes.
