Lu Jingran laughed disdainfully, "How can they be considered mother and daughter? They are merely strangers who are related to each other by blood!"
In the end, Lin Qian's greatest love was still herself. If she really had a mother of her own in her heart, and knew that it was difficult for the Second Madam, she would have sold her dowry without hesitation. After all, the Second Madam had pieced together everything for her, so why wouldn't she take it out? I'm afraid Lin Qian is unwilling to part with the silver!
Thinking about it, Lin Qian's days in the Duke Andong Palace were already tough, if she did not have any money, how would she be able to live his days?
Lin Shu shook her head and sighed.
In the following days, she rested peacefully in bed, taking medicine every day. This tonic was like a stream of water that was sent to her.
After seven or eight days, her body was completely healed.
The first thing Lin Shu did after recovering was to directly head to the Rongshou Hall to pay respects to Grand Madam, who naturally held her hand and talked to her.
Waiting for her to exit Rongshou Hall's courtyard gate, Yun Dou and the pearls behind her were filled with embroidered boxes.
If it wasn't filled with supplements or medicinal herbs, then it was something that had improved.
Lin Shu did not immediately return to the Banyan Garden, but instead went to the main courtyard.
Originally, she thought that she wouldn't be able to see Young Madam Zhang at all, just like usual, but who knew that Nanny Ren would come out to welcome her? This servant has not seen you for a few days and Madame has also repeated you a few times, please come in Eldest Wife! "
Previously, Lin Shu had appeared who knows how many times, but Young Madam Zhang was clearly hiding in the courtyard and not seeing him. Young Madam Zhang was not that type of person who would endure and be magnanimous, no matter what she did, she would always do things according to her own personality.
Lin Shu followed the Nanny Ren directly into the inner room. The Young Madam Zhang was currently sitting on the brick bed drinking tea, and when he heard her voice, he did not even bat an eyelid, and just let out a "En" from her nose as usual.
Lin Shu was not afraid at all. When Grand Madam was still alive, she would often go to the Green Pine Garden to pay respects to him. "Previously, I wanted to come visit my mother to pay my respects, but my body still hasn't fully recovered. I'm afraid that my mother might have passed on my illness to his, so I hope that mother can forgive me!" Even if he did not agree, he still had to be alright with his face. She couldn't just fall for such a small matter.
Etiquette, benevolence, and filial piety. If they were lacking even one thing, they would definitely be exposed by others.
Only then did Young Madam Zhang raise her eyes and look at her, "You're being considerate."
The two of them weren't the kind to hate people in front of others, so they were able to keep their mouths shut.
Furthermore, as a junior, Lin Shu wanted to speak with Young Madam Zhang, but she had to know what Young Madam Zhang liked. She did not know what to say, and adding that Young Madam Zhang's temper had always been unpredictable, she did not dare speak carelessly.
Nanny Ren coughed lightly and looked at him.
Young Madam Zhang understood.
A few days ago, Nanny Ren went to the Liucheng Garden to personally meet Yuan Xiaoyi, but before she finished speaking, Yuan Xiaoyi already knew whether she was willing or not. Nanny Ren was truly a hardworking woman, and directly stated that even if Yuan Xiaoyi became the concubine, it would not be an ordinary concubine.
But regardless of what Nanny Ren said, Yuan Xiaoyi refused.
Nanny Ren could only put aside this matter for now and start from Lin Shu and the Old Ancestor. As for Yuan Xiaoyi, Nanny Ren could only think of another way … …
After weighing the pros and cons, the Young Madam Zhang slowly spoke out. "When I heard that you were sick, I was also very worried, and also planned to take a look at you in the Banyan Garden, but after thinking about what the Old Ancestor said, he told me to not to disturb you, and to not let it go."
Wow, what a beautiful way to say that!
The Old Ancestor's original words were to not allow Second Madam s to go over and disturb him. After all, Second Madam s had always been talkative, and couldn't help but wish that they could go over to Banyan Garden three times a day. Even so, it was still not enough … That was why the Old Ancestor said such a thing.
Lin Shu laughed, "Thank you mother for remembering …."
"That's what I should have done!" In fact, even if Lin Shu hadn't come today, Young Madam Zhang had originally planned to take a look at Lin Shu. There were some words that she had wished for nothing more than to spend the entire night last night, to be chewed on the inside of her stomach, "Jing Ran might not have been born from me, but she is still the eldest son of National Duke Ning's estate. As a mother, I naturally remember him.
"Seeing that Jing Ran has already gotten married, and the Old Ancestor even arranged for Jing Ran to go to the Jin Wu Wei, I'm afraid that he will need to go to the Jin Wu Wei to take up a position next month. By right, seeing you two doing well, as a mother, I feel at ease … However, there are some things that the Old Ancestor should not mention. As a mother, I have to! "
An abnormality was a demon!
"Mother, just speak your mind." Lin Shu felt that there was something wrong with Young Madam Zhang today, but she could only do it carefully, "Mother, just speak your mind, even if I am extremely stupid, and do not know what to do, I can still pass Mother's words to you.
Young Madam Zhang's eyelids jumped, this Madam Lin was indeed not simple, no wonder she was able to make Eighth Prince dizzy. Now that she had even said these words, she actually dared to bring out the ancestor to pressure her.
"Originally, I shouldn't have brought up these things about your newlyweds, but now that you've recovered from your illness, I'm afraid you won't be able to serve Jing Ran. Furthermore, there are still many days left every month, so how can Jing Ran not have a servant girl by his side?"
As she spoke, she picked up the tea Gu and took a sip, then said slowly: "These words were originally taught to you by your mother before you got married, and I shouldn't have said it, but I know that the few maids beside you, according to principle, should already have had four big ones, and now there are only two girls, Yun Dou and Pearl. This Yun Dou is too young and he can't be bothered with her appearance. She is also a widow, how could someone like this wait on Jing Ran? "
Lin Shu finally understood that this Young Madam Zhang was trying to find a bed-warming maid for him!
She really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Originally, she thought that the Young Madam Zhang was clever and had some tricks up her sleeves, but now that she had seen it, it was only so-so.
Immediately, her face revealed only a bit of cowardice, "Mother, you're talking about …" It's just that I am not too sure about this matter, as for the bed-warming maid, I will definitely agree to it, and it's not that you do not know, but if he does not, when the time comes, this servant girl will be sent to the Banyan Garden, he will be in trouble too … "
The favoured bed-warming maid, this servant girl had to treat her respectfully, but if the unfavoured bed-warming maid, could not wait for the thick and strong to come up and trample on his a few times, he would really want to show his face in front of the female patriarch.
Truly a cunning one!
Young Madam Zhang's expression did not change, "If I can talk to Jing Ran about it, how would I find you? Jing Ran and I had a misunderstanding. No matter if it was the old ancestor or Jing Ran, I always thought that I would harm him … I am Jing Ran's mother. Why would I harm him? "
Furthermore, I am not trying to squeeze him into the Banyan Garden for no reason at all. Since that person was raised outside, it would not be good if he were to stay outside, but I think it would be better to bring him back, and then see if he would stay by Jing Ran's side as an aunt or as a bed-warming maid. It will be up to you to decide, as a Aunt Di, I will not be able to meddle in your affairs …
How could he not interfere? Then what kind of person could be considered to be involved?
Lin Shu revealed a look of hesitation.
She would never agree to that.
The Nanny Ren only thought that the words of the Young Madam Zhang affected Lin Shu a little, and smiled as she advised: "Eldest Wife, this servant has something that I shouldn't say, this man has always liked virtuous and virtuous women, and I am bringing Miss Yuan out for treatment, probably because you just married into the National Duke Ning Palace, and it is a little inappropriate to say such words, if the Eldest Wife were to say it himself, no matter if it is the ancestor or the master, he would definitely think of you, right?" "Rather than saying that it would be better for you to be a good person than to welcome this person in personally!"
"This …" Lin Shu became even more hesitant on the surface, but in her heart, she was beginning to look down on this pair of master and servant.
Young Madam Zhang was not a smart person, and this Nanny Ren was not very smart either. Back in the Duke Chengan Palace, the woman she met was actually Nanny Ren … If these two were smart, how could Nanny Ren deceive Lu Jingran himself and push him into the water?
She thought for a long time before saying, "Mother, I have to go back and think about this matter carefully. Whether you or the Nanny Ren, I understand the logic of this. It's just that I haven't been married for long and have to personally escort other girls in, I'm afraid I …"
"How could I not understand?" Young Madam Zhang nodded his head, a look of happiness in her eyes, this matter, as long as Lin Shu nodded his head, would be the end of it, "You can go back and think about this matter for now, and see if it's true … "However, don't tell Jing Ran about this for the time being. If he were to find out about that temper of his, I'm afraid it would be even more incredible …"
Lin Shu naturally agreed to it, but when Lu Jingran returned in the evening, he told them everything. "... Speaking of which, I feel a little more at ease. Previously, Young Madam Zhang didn't do anything, but instead felt uneasy in my heart. Now that she has made her move, we now know how to deal with it! "
Now, what she wanted to see was Lu Jingran's attitude. If Lu Jingran said that he had nothing to do with Yuan Xiaoyi, she would naturally believe him. She did not believe that the Young Madam Zhang would not send people to find Yuan Xiaoyi …
Lu Jingran nodded his head, and said: "Today, Yuan Xiaoyi sent me a letter, in the letter she mentioned this matter, she said that Nanny Ren went to find her, and the conditions she gave were extremely tempting, but she rejected it, if not Young Madam Zhang would not have come to find you."
