It was also because Lin Shu was able to be calm like water now, otherwise, she would not dare to think about what had happened in her previous life.
That day, she made some soup and wanted to send it to the study to help nourish Shao Shengping's body, but Shao Shengping was not in the study at all. Usually, there would be someone specifically to clean Shao Shengping's study, and when she saw that the desk was a little messy, she wanted to help him clean it up.
However, she never expected that there was a thick stack of portraits of the Chen Family's Third Miss on Shao Shengping's desk, with Chen Yao's name written on it and a letter that Shao Shengping wrote to Chen Yao. In the letter, Shao Shengping had called Chen Yao "Yao Yao", and it was all talk about trivial matters, he guessed that the two of them must have been colluding for a long time. At that time, when she saw all this dirty stuff, she only felt his eyes go blurry.
Ever since she and Shao Shengping got married, Shao Shengping had always been good to her, and in the eyes of outsiders, he had even treated her with kindness. Back then, he felt great pain just by knowing how sweet it was, or else he would have never recklessly brought Actinin Qin to the Yangzhou.
Up till now, Lin Shu still could not figure out how Shao Shengping had hooked up with Chen Yao. If she remembered correctly, no matter if it was his previous life or this life, until this point in time, the Chen family's Third Miss, Chen Yao, had never appeared in front of anyone.
In that case, Shao Shengping fell in love with Chen Yao at first sight.
The Chen family's Second Miss had already married into the Duke Chengan Palace, so as her sister, Chen Yao naturally went to the Duke Chengan Palace to visit her sister.
This was going to be a good show.
Unexpectedly, the Old Ancestor also shook his head and said, "... I heard that the young ladies of the Chen family know their lesson, and are all gentle and virtuous, but these words were just for the ears of the bystanders, I heard that the young ladies of the Chen family are all extremely powerful, and not to mention the others, let's talk about the Fifth Prince’s Concort. Not long after he was married to the Fifth Prince, she managed the entire Fifth Prince tightly! "
Back then, it was also the birthday of Lady Chen. I had seen the Chen Family's Third Miss once, and at that time, she was only eleven or twelve years old, she was actually quite pretty, and I'm afraid she is even more outstanding now … I wonder which family's young master he will grant this permission to! "
Lin Shu chuckled, she was afraid that the Old Ancestor would never have imagined that Chen Yao would marry Lu Jingran in his previous life.
Suddenly, a bold idea emerged in her mind. Since Chen Yao was not a good person, then wouldn't Lu Jingran murdering his mother and brother in her previous life also have something to do with Chen Yao?
But after thinking about it, she felt that something was amiss, Lu Jingran was not someone who was easily provoked, furthermore, if Chen Yao wanted to instigate them, why did he want to encourage Lu Jingran to kill Young Madam Zhang and Lu Ming? If that was the case, wouldn't that also affect Chen Yao's reputation? If she was not mistaken, because of Lu Jingran's brutality in his previous life, Chen Yao's reputation was not very good either. Even if the others did not dare discuss this matter in front of Chen Yao, the words that they spoke behind his back were extremely unpleasant to listen to.
Lin Shu acted as if she did not know anything, "Grandmother, is the Chen family's Third Miss really that good-looking?"
The Old Ancestor nodded his head and smiled: "One day, when you meet the Chen Family's Third Miss, you will know how beautiful she is. Her beauty is not in her appearance, but in her bones.
Thinking about it, when the Old Ancestor saw Chen Yao, Chen Yao was only eleven or twelve years old.
Lin Shu thoughtfully nodded her head, "I wonder when I'll be able to meet the Chen family's Third Miss."
The Old Ancestor laughed, "We will see him sooner or later …" Isn't your fifth sister going to be carried to the Duke Chengan Palace soon? Although she is a concubine, she is not an ordinary family's young lady. Even if the Duke Chengan Palace does not hold a large feast, at least they will have to invite a few guests.
Lin Shu stared blankly for a moment, then patted her forehead: "If you didn't say it, I really would have forgotten, back then when my fifth sister and Duke Chengan s from Duke Chengan were making a ruckus, father specially made a trip to Duke Chengan s palace. At that time, Duke Chengan had made it clear, he would definitely call my fifth sister in.
Even if she could not be his official wife, she would still have to take out the attitude of the Duke Chengan Palace.
Furthermore, if Lin Lian was like an ordinary concubine and quietly carried in from the side door, forget about Lin Lian and Lin Pei, would they agree to it, or would Lin Lian's dowry also be brought in from the side door?
After all, right before the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion Grand Madam died, he prepared a dowry for Lin Lian. After all, he had thought that Lin Lian had served in front of her for many years, so how could she not give Lin Lian anything? However, the dowry wasn't too much, it was three thousand silvers that every girl in Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion had when they were married.
Although it wasn't much, it wasn't little either.
If she was Lin Lian, she wouldn't have agreed either. Even if she couldn't be the official wife, she would have to manage things well. Otherwise, it would be a bit too embarrassing losing before she even entered the door …
This was the first time Lin Shu had held back in front of Lin Lian. After she returned to the Banyan Garden, she asked Yun Dou to pay a visit to Lin Pei's new house, saying that on the day that Lin Lian left the pavilion, she also wanted to go visit the Duke Chengan Palace as a guest. No matter what, Lin Lian was still considered her little sister.
If it was her or Lin Hui, she would have rejected him without hesitation.
When she thought about how Lin Shu was currently a Eldest Wife of the National Duke Ning Palace and was going to take up her position in the Jin Wu Wei at the beginning of next month, even if she hated Lin Shu to the bone, she only needed Yun Dou's word to say that she had been waiting for Lin Shu that day.
Lin Shu was not surprised at all by these words, it was even within her expectations.
In just a few days, Lin Lian was going to be carried to the Duke Chengan Palace. This morning, Lin Shu woke up early with her hands still wet.
She dreamt of herself being burned to death by Shao Shengping and Lin Lian in her previous life.
Now, Lu Jingran had already gotten up, and couldn't help but look at her after hearing the commotion, "Eh? Why did he wake up so early today? Today, you have to go to Duke Chengan Palace. You don't have to pay respects to Grandmother and can sleep for a while longer. "
Normally, Lin Shu would be the greediest person around, she would really want to sleep until the pearls would call out to her a few times a day, only then did she finally want to wake up.
Lin Shu stared blankly at Lu Jingran's handsome face, only then did he come back to his senses. Everything was in the past, everything about his previous life was already in the past, "I … When I thought about going to Duke Chengan Palace today, I felt like I had something on my mind and I couldn't fall asleep. "
Lu Jingran touched her forehead and laughed: "It's not a big deal, why are you thinking about it? If I say it, if you don't go today, no one will say that you were wrong when they treated you like that! "
Back then, after the death of Grand Madam, Lin Pei and Nanny Chen spread the word that Lin Shu had forced the death of the. Other than a few words of explanation from the First Madam, the others did not say a single word.
Lin Shu sat up, and laughed: "Actually, you know what my relationship with Lin Lian is, I only thought about it for a long time, and took the chance to go out and take a look."
Only then did Lu Jingran feel reassured, "Then I'll need Ban Xia to send you over later. I'll be going out first, and yesterday, Yuan Xiaoyi had sent a letter saying that Tingsheng had been coughing a little over the past few days. I still have to go over to take a look at Tingsheng."
Lin Shu nodded slightly, "Then when you go over there, bring Tingsheng a few boxes of pastries that you like. Children always like these."
She only felt that Tingsheng's background was very pitiful. He had once been the emperor's eldest grandson, but now he had fallen into such a predicament.
Lu Jingran agreed, and after kissing her forehead, he was finally willing to leave.
Lin Shu felt completely at ease.
The events of his previous life were all over.
As such, she went back to sleep, and then went to the Duke Chengan Palace. When she went back to the Palace's Flower Hall, she saw that there were already several people sitting inside.
Today was not only the day that Lin Lian became the concubine of the Duke Chengan, but also the day that the Chen Family's Second Miss s were established. Not only did the Fifth Prince’s Concort come, even the Chen Family's Third Miss s that rarely came out also came.
Chen Yao was only one year away from becoming a Second Miss of the Chen Family, and he was also a sister by blood.
Lin Shu stepped into the Flower Hall and her gaze fell on Chen Yao's face. Whether it was her previous life or this life, she had never seen Chen Yao before. However, in her previous life, she saw a portrait of Chen Yao on Shao Shengping's desk.
But she had to admit that the current Chen Yao was extremely outstanding, like a fairy out of water, extremely delicate and pretty, with every single movement and smile carrying the temperament unique to a noble family, gentle like jade.
She saw even more, that Lin Qian had rolled her eyes at Chen Yao.
Because today was the day Shao Shengping was going to take in his concubines, there were no banquets for his relatives and friends. Coupled with the fact that the Duke Chengan's Mistress was here, it was not convenient for his family to come over.
It seemed calm, but it was a very quiet sensation.
Lin Shu stepped forward to pay her respects with a smile, "Greetings Fifth Prince’s Concort." Even though Fifth Prince was a cripple and not highly regarded by the Emperor, he was still a prince in the end.
Fifth Prince’s Concort nodded his head, "I was originally a Eldest Wife from National Duke Ning's Palace. I have always heard of the great reputation of National Duke Ning s from National Duke Ning's Palace.
She seemed like a nice person to talk to, but what she said wasn't that pleasant to listen to.
