Lin Shu knew that this was the intention of Zhang Yuanqing's relationship with her, it was just that there was no such thing as' for no reason ', why did Zhang Yuanqing want to be on good terms with her?

Even though Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion was the noble bloodline of an aristocratic family, it was not enough to make the pavilion old granddaughter please him?

Zhang Yuanqing's grandfather was the Elder Zhang, and she had heard about this Elder Zhang from his previous life. He suffered a terrible end, being loyal and loyal to his Daqing Dynasty for many years, but in the end, he was executed by his entire family.

Not only was he pure and honest, he also treated his old wife passionately. Even though her body was weak and she gave birth to a son, she had not given birth to a concubine in so many years, and after her illness a few years ago, not only did her body not grow strong, she did not even have an aunt by her side. In that moment, she became the beauty of the capital.

There was no doubt about this, even Zhang Yuanqing's father did not have an aunt by his side. However, in the capital, no one was willing to marry their own daughter to their clan's Zhang Family. Elder Zhang was born with a slight chill, and Zhang Family did not have any background, so it was normal for the water to be clear without fish.

Thinking about how Zhang Yuanqing fell into such a predicament, even Lin Shu, who was holding onto his letter, couldn't help but sigh.

After sighing, she still took up her brush and replied with Zhang Yuanqing. She even brought over a few pearls and flowers that her uncle sent over from the Yangzhou.

The two ladies gradually got to know each other as the letters came and went.

The days seemed calm, but in reality, they were moving in the dark.

Even though Lin Shu received Madam Lian's reminder and wanted to ignore the matters between Princess Changze and Lin Pei, she could still vividly remember the tragic events of her previous life. Because of this incident, she did not even notice the movements of the Second Madam and Lin Lian.

But Lin Hui had always been someone who couldn't hide her words, and would come to tell Lin Shu whenever she got some news, "... Originally, Lian Jieer invited the rearing mama who was sitting next to him, because she was talking about Aunt Er's good fortune, but she never thought that because of the quarrel between Second Sister and Second Sister, the Aunt Er would blame the Lian Jieer, and even secretly order the rearing mama to cause trouble. "

"Even though the Aunt Er has always been smart, she forgot that she was in her grandmother's courtyard. How could her every move not be noticed by her grandmother? "Originally, Grandmother had planned to turn a blind eye, but that rearing mama used a bamboo board the width of a palm to whip Lian Jieer's calf, making it difficult for her to walk on it. When Grandmother saw this, she was so angry that she immediately threw Mrs. Jiang's face aside and directly sent that rearing mama back to Jiang Family …"

When Lin Shu heard this, she did not care, but a thought gradually became clear in her mind. The Grand Madam values Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion more than anyone else, and if the Second Madam's authority dropping after challenging the Grand Madam, then what about Lin Pei? If Grand Madam knew about the matter between Lin Pei and Princess Changze, would he also object?

The Grand Madam was the number one person in charge of the internal affairs of the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion. If the Princess Changze were to enter, he would have to obtain permission from the Grand Madam. If his mother died in his previous life, and the Princess Changze had no choice but to enter, then what about this life? Could it be that things would turn for the better?

Thinking of this, she couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart and abruptly stood up.

Lin Hui was actually shocked, she looked at her in shock, "Everything is fine, what are you doing?"

Lin Shu walked outside and said: "I have some matters to attend to grandma, third sister will go back first!"

"How can there be someone like you in this world?" "I'm your older cousin, your Linglong Pavilion guest, why did you leave me behind just like that? Even if you really want to pay respects to Grandmother, it's not like this is the right time to go over. Let's just wait for dusk to let's go over together …" Before Lin Hui could even finish speaking, Lin Shu's figure had already disappeared from her sight, and she stomped her feet in anger.

Along the way, Lin Shu walked extremely fast, to the point that even Actinin Qin, who was five or six years older than her, was somewhat unable to keep up.

When it came to Green Pine Academy, she couldn't help but be out of breath. Grand Madam was currently chanting in the Little Buddha Hall, and upon hearing Nanny Chen's orders, she arrived at the side chamber. But who did you quarrel with this time? "

Lin Shu glanced at the servants and wives around him, and said softly: "Grandmother, I have something important to tell you."

Grand Madam nodded, and then took all the servants in the house away.

The room was completely silent, without even the slightest noise. Lin Shu took a whiff of the rosewood fragrance coming from the censer. It was clearly an extremely sincere fragrance, but it made her feel a little flustered.

He was betting. If he won the bet, she and her mother would have a thirty percent chance of winning. If he lost, Grand Madam would know about Lin Pei and Princess Changze in advance and would stand on their side.

When Grand Madam saw her biting his lips, the smile on her face gradually disappeared. "But what happened?"

At this point, there was no way out!

Lin Shu raised her eyes and looked straight at Grand Madam. After hesitating for a moment, she said: "Is Grandmother not satisfied with Mother?"

She indeed did not like Madam Lian, but she could not say such words in front of Lin Shu.

In the blink of an eye, Grand Madam continued, "Everything's fine, why are you asking me this? But what did your mother say to you? "

"I don't think so, it's just that I keep having the feeling that Grandmother is cold and indifferent to Mother. You are kind to First Aunt, and you are fond of her, but you are the only one who is to Mother …" Lin Shu paused for a while before continuing: "But mother kept talking about grandmother's good fortune in front of me, saying that grandmother doted on me, and that I was being mischievous before, which caused grandmother to be angry, and even when you started an argument with Lian Jieer, you seemed to be punishing me, but everywhere you go!"

"Actually, your mother was pretty good, it was just that she was defeated by her birth and had a stubborn personality, so I decided to keep her out of my way … Actually, I also know that if this Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion didn't have your mother's toil, then who knows what kind of mess it would turn into. " Although his words were seventy percent fake, in the end, they were still thirty percent true.

Lin Shu then followed her words and continued, "Hearing your words, I am relieved. I have been hiding something in my heart for the past few days, I do not know if I should tell you or not."

"Is there anything I can't say in front of me?" Grand Madam took a sip of tea.

But Lin Shu just kneeled down and spoke word by word: "Since Grandmother has spoken like that, then Grandmother, please make the decision for Mother."

As soon as he said that, tears fell down his face.

The Grand Madam also noticed that something was wrong. Lin Shu was born with Madam Lian's stubbornness, even if she had committed a crime, she wouldn't have shed tears in front of her. This was the first time she was kneeling, "What exactly happened!"

Lin Shu took a deep breath and said softly, "Do you still remember that day when Princess Changze went to see Mother … Later on, when Princess Changze went to the Fanghua Garden, he did not exchange too many pleasantries with Mother. Every single word was asked about Father, and even then, I did not think much about it. After sitting there for a while, Princess Changze got up and took his leave … "Later on, I heard Princess Changze's voice from the small study room. I'm afraid that she has already secretly fallen in love with father …"

Grand Madam's hand that was holding the tea Gu shook and a clear sound rang out. Even the scalding tea water splashed onto her body but she did not seem to feel it at all.

Lin Shu nodded her head, and said sternly: "I am not spouting nonsense, no matter how mischievous I am, I do not dare to be so bold! If I wasn't sure, how would I dare to report this matter to you? "

Then, she told him everything she had heard in the small study that day.

For a moment, even the Grand Madam who was used to seeing wind and waves were stunned.

Everyone said that the Emperor dotes on his eldest son, and the commoners love him as much as he can. But she really couldn't like her youngest son, with the big boss who was honest and honest, as well as her second brother who would usually please her, Lin Pei, who had grown up in White Horse Institute, was even more distant from her.

At that time, Lin Pei was not set to marry yet, and since he was born well, he naturally became a hot topic in the eyes of the wives. Today, if the wife did not send her son to Fifth Master to be a guest, then it was that wife who asked her nephew to go drink tea with him.

At that time, she wanted to help Lin Pei set a marriage, but Lin Pei just smiled and said that he was not in a hurry.

At that time, Lin Pei had been drunk for several days. At that time, she had thought that Lin Pei did not want to marry the daughter of a merchant but he had never thought that at that time, Lin Pei and the Princess Changze would be engaged for life, could it be that the Princess Changze had not been married for a long time, and was waiting for you?

Grand Madam's mouth moved, but he didn't know what to say. In his heart, he knew better than anyone else.

At that time, the Princess Changze was the beloved daughter of the Old Prince Rui and the Old Prince Rui's imperial concubine. Based on Lin Pei's identity, the Old Prince Rui and the Old Prince Rui's concubine definitely would not agree to this marriage.

The Old Prince Rui and the Old Prince Rui Concubine had both passed away. The empress dowager doted on the Princess Changze and wished that the Princess Changze could have the stars in the sky.

That's right, Lin Pei's meteoric rise after marrying the Princess Changze was just around the corner, but if this matter were to get out of hand? I'm afraid that Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion and Lin Pei's reputation will be ruined as well …
