Rebirth Of Proud Noble Daughter - C235
When the Old Ancestor saw Lin Shu’s face revealing bits and pieces of a smile, he was relieved. He didn’t know what kind of rumors and rumors had spread around the capital, but some people even said that Lin Shu had not only instigated her mother and father to leave him, he had even forged a fake IOU.
Everyone spoke out, just how much of an enmity did Lin Shu have with the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion Grand Madam to even think of such a despicable method …
It had to be known that Lin Shu had a very bad reputation in the capital. Furthermore, the Grand Madam was famous for being kind, and would always treat food and porridge during festivals, so every year, she would donate at least a thousand taels of silver to the good hall. Who wouldn’t give a thumbs up when they mentioned the?
Others would believe her words, but as the sworn enemy of the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion Grand Madam, the ancestor would never believe it no matter what. If she was kind, then there would be no villains in this world, “Don’t even think about it, just focus on recuperating, even if the sky is falling down, with a tall person to support her, what are you afraid of? Even if the rumors were to spread like wildfire, it would not even reach the National Duke Ning Palace. In this palace, if anyone dares to say yes or no, you just have to tell me! ”
In truth, she had already sent her Young Madam Zhang down a few days ago. Regardless of whether it was the matter of Lin Pei and Madam Lian leaving or the matter of Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion and Grand Madam passing away, they were not allowed to talk about it. If she heard anyone spouting nonsense, she did not have anything to discuss, she could just directly drag them out to sell.
It had to be known that the National Duke Ning Palace was not a small clan like the National Duke Ning Palace. They would beat and punish their servants and wives whenever they wanted, and would not say anything to scare the people below.
Directly dragging it out to sell was the most severe punishment from the National Duke Ning Palace, and it had been many years since the Old Ancestor had said something so serious.
After Lin Shu heard this, she could not help but lower her head. She was afraid that when she looked at the Old Ancestor, her tears would fall.
Lu Jingran said with a stern face: “Grandmother, I have told you many times, Sister Shu is sick, there is no need for you to come here. Since you are old, it would not be good if you also get the cold! You are not younger than Sister Shu. Sister Shu, your body, which has been raised for ten days to half a month, should be able to recover greatly.
“Look at what you’re saying, could it be that Grandmother has become a glass figurine?” Although the Old Ancestor was complaining, his eyes were filled with joy.
Lu Jingran said: It’s fine if you are old, but you are not. Last spring, you were infected with the disease, but you have been lying in bed for an entire month without getting out of it. A few days ago, when Doctor Fan came over, he specifically told me not to come over, and that you were weak.
Lin Shu and the Old Ancestor were the two people that were most important to him in this world.
“Got it!” The Old Ancestor waved his hand at him, “You have a point anyway. I’m just here to take a look at my grandson’s wife, and I’m about to leave. You two, husband and wife, close the door and talk!”
Once she said that, Lin Shu couldn’t help but burst out laughing, “Grandmother, you should head back earlier. Once I’m fully recovered, I’ll go pay respects to you!”
The Old Ancestor held onto Nanny Bai’s hand and walked outside, saying: “Then this old woman is waiting for you! You have to come earlier! ”
After the Old Ancestor left, Lin Shu only used a little bit of the Clear Congee Cuisine before finding an excuse and saying that she wanted to drink the Silver Ear Soup. She wanted to go to the kitchen to inform the others, and even found a reason to order all the maids in the house off.
Lu Jingran knew that she had something to ask, so he only said a few random words, “… I looked at the flowers that the Old Ancestor had just sent over and thought that they were pretty good. Why don’t I call Yun Dou in to arrange these flowers? The Old Ancestor really loves you. Normally, when I went to the Rongshou Hall to pay respects to her, every time I accidentally stepped on those flowers, he would scold me.
Lin Shu interrupted him with a soft voice, “What happened in the past few days?”
Although she had been befuddled by sickness for the past few days, she was not befuddled by it. In fact, whether it was her mother or Lin Hui, both of them looked like they wanted to speak but were unable to do so.
Especially Lin Hui, there were a few times where these words had just started out well, but Lu Jingran coughed at the side and Lin Hui remained silent.
Lu Jingran started to laugh at her, “Didn’t you say you want to drink the Silver Ear Soup? Pearl has told the kitchen to do it, I’m afraid it will be served soon! Do you want another two pieces of crab cake? I know your stomach isn’t right, so I specifically told Pearl to make the pancakes in the kitchenette a little more soft so that you wouldn’t hurt your stomach if you ate them. ”
Lin Shu looked at him with a helpless gaze, “What happened?”
Lu Jingran sighed, “Even if you want to know, it won’t be too late to wait for you to recover!”
Saying that, he looked at Lin Shu, only to realize that Lin Shu was looking at him, his heart had softened, “Alright, I’ll tell you straight, there’s only one thing, you need to rest and recover, do not be angry.”
Pausing for a moment, he organized his thoughts, and then said: “Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion is preparing to expel you from the family tree!”
He had lightly carried her along with him as he said that, but he did not tell Lin Shu that her father was the one who had caused all of this.
He knew very well that there had already been people secretly following him these past few days. Normally, the Ferghana Horse that he rode on would go crazy for no reason … There were too many things similar to this kind of dirty stuff, but fortunately for him, he had to be on guard against the Young Madam Zhang every day, as he had already trained himself to have a cautious personality.
This was a trick the Young Madam Zhang used before he was twelve years old … Even if he was an idiot, she could imagine that Lin Pei was pulling the strings.
It was just that now, Lin Pei hated him to the core, and was not willing to let go of his own daughter.
Also, who knew how many times Second Madam had visited him in the past few days, and how many times Second Madam actually wanted to negotiate the terms with him. He only said that if Lin Shu was not willing to pay thirty thousand silver, she would persuade Lin Pei to reconsider expelling him from the family tree.
Lu Jingran felt that this was a good thing, the people in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion were all made of stones, could it be that they had something to do with it?
But even if Lu Jingran rejected, the Second Madam came again a few times.
Lu Jingran knew what she was thinking, with the death of Grand Madam, the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion would definitely divide into families, the second house did not have much silver, so the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion family did not have much, so the ancestral home had to be left for the long rooms. As for the land and property, the long rooms also made up most of it, and the rest would go to the second house, at that time, they would need to set up their own house, and they would need to purchase servant girls as well, so in the end, the money they did not even have enough. Right now, the only thing they could think about was the private money in the Grand Madam’s hands.
It must be known that Grand Madam only had around ten thousand taels of silver on hand, but since the long room was split into families, Grand Madam would naturally not take the private property. Now that Lin Pei had just left, he was afraid that he would not have the mood to care about the money, and at that time, wouldn’t the money still belong to their second house?
If Lin Shu insisted on taking back the thirty thousand taels of silver, not only would the second house not get a single copper coin, they would also get more than ten thousand taels of silver from the officials. This, this was simply taking away Second Madam’s life!
But who would have known that Second Madam was also shameless. Even if Lu Jingran rejected his, she still came over and over again to ask to see Uncle Lin, and even sent people to the courtyard where Madam Lian and the others were. Luckily, he had arranged for guards to guard the courtyard nearby, and Aunt Lian was powerful, but in the end, the Second Madam did not manage to get anything good.
Now that things had developed to this point, it could be said that Lu Lu Jingran was truly impressed, there were all kinds of people in this world.
Lin Shu laughed bitterly, it really was like Lin Pei’s way of doing things, he did not stop at one thing and since he had already broken all ties, then Lin Pei would not care about some blood relation anymore, “Don’t worry, I am not sad at all, what is there to be sad about? When I was young and saw my mother suffer, I had asked myself many times, why was it that I was born in Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion? If I am to stay in a business’s home with an ordinary set of Yangzhou, who knows how happy my life would be! ”
“When we were young, whether it was the Grand Madam or Lin Pei, they never thought of protecting us. They always thought of themselves!” Fortunately, she did not carry the selfishness of the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion and Lin Family bloodline, so she was the happiest.
Lu Jingran was very shocked by her calmness, “Really?”
Lin Shu nodded her head, “Furthermore, there is no wall that can’t be broken. King Rui did not return from Fujian, but his sister died and King Rui is not coming back now. The empress dowager and the emperor were easily fooled, but King Rui wasn’t so easy to fool. If this matter was investigated carefully, there would definitely be cobwebs exposed.
As a person of two lifetimes, even if she had never seen King Rui before, but she had still heard of his reputation.
When he was young, King Rui competed with Prince Qian and Duke Huai, he was merely flattered by little Internal Service who did not do their best for him. Since he was being disrespectful to him, he carried a grudge in his heart and waited for him to get military merits to eliminate the other party, causing countless innocent people to die.
How could such a vindictive and petty person let go of the person who had killed his sister?
Furthermore, only King Rui and his sister Princess Changze remained. After Old Prince Rui and his wife had passed away, the brother and sister duo relied on each other to survive and support each other. It was obvious how close their relationship was.
