No one in the Shenzhai compound is shallow-minded.
The second and third girls in the Hou Mansion were not nice to or bad to Lin Si on weekdays. They just lived a simple life without provoking anyone. Logically speaking, There is no grudge.
If things hadn't been so strange that day, Lin Chunhuan wouldn't have thought that these two people were responsible.
The second girl and the third girl are twins, born to Aunt Qian.
Unlike Aunt Gu, who was born in Jiaofangsi, Aunt Qian was a concubine specially brought back from her hometown by the Marquis of Yuanning, and her status was higher than that of Aunt Gu.
Even Madam, although she doesn't like it in her heart, she doesn't dare to take it too seriously.
As for Aunt Qian, she seems to be a person who neither fights nor grabs. She keeps her head out of the public eye. She spends all day in her yard, living a life without fighting against the world. She is kind to others and can talk to everyone. talk.
But for such a person, she was the one responsible for Aunt Gu’s death.
"Lu Fu, since my two sisters like me, don't stop me. After all, I will get married soon. Even if I want to get close to my two sisters, I won't have a chance."< br>
“There is no need to care about everything like this.”
The hand holding the tea cup was slightly trembling, Lin Chunhuan lowered his eyes, hiding his uneasy mood.
She originally thought that she didn't care that much about Aunt Gu's death, but in fact she didn't...
The longer she stayed in the Hou Mansion, the more she could see Gu Before her death, her aunt made all kinds of arrangements for her, otherwise she would not have been able to grow up with just a green lady.
Aunt Gu, a person who doesn’t go out much on weekdays, went out on an unforgettable day. She was so unlucky that she happened to meet the gangster who robbed the execution ground.
When he died, not even a whole body was left behind.
This incident seemed to be an accident. Lu Fu secretly checked and found out that Aunt Gu went out that day at the request of Lin Yimiao, but that gang of thugs.
But it has nothing to do with Yixueyuan.
Aunt Qian was so capable that she came to the eldest lady to complain openly and secretly. First, she said that after Aunt Gu came in, she could not even see the Marquis. Her life was miserable, which made the eldest lady very sad. Empathy.
I also informed the eldest lady that there was a lot of chaos outside. I don’t know what happened. Unfortunately, Aunt Gu didn’t go out. If she went out, something would happen...
These are all Lin Yimiao’s. original words.
When Aunt Qian said these words, she was beside the eldest lady. At that time, she only thought that Aunt Gu was a disaster and had robbed her father.
Aunt Qian expressed the hope that Aunt Gu would be gone, and she thought so too!
Before she came back from rebirth, during the long decades in the East Palace, she slowly realized what was wrong with these words. At that time, even her mother, the serious eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, didn’t know It's chaos outside.
How can a concubine with no door or two doors be so well-informed?
So after getting her wish and marrying into the prince's palace, as soon as she arrived at Tianshui Pavilion, she told her all her conjectures.
Coupled with the fact that the second and third girls were weird about the prince, I couldn’t blame Lin Chunhuan for pinning the evidence on Aunt Qian, mother and daughter when there was no clear evidence!
But...what happened in the past has passed.
This man has passed away. It is almost impossible to expect the Marquis of Yuan Ning to bring up the past again.
Lin Chunhuan took a deep breath. Even if it wasn't for Aunt Gu, the Hou Mansion was her and Lin Yimiao's natal family after all. The honor and disgrace of the Hou Mansion was directly related to the future of the two of them to a certain extent.
Based on this alone, she cannot let this place have any more troubles.
I don't know if it was because of a guilty conscience, but after that day, the prince never appeared in front of Lin Chunhuan again. Although Lu Fu was dissatisfied with having a master, she still allowed the two girls to do whatever they wanted without saying a word.
Until the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion came to report.
Donggong is here to hire someone!
"Lv Fu, go to Aunt Qian's place and tell her that Dong Gong is here to hire me. I can't support the situation by myself, so please ask my two sisters to help support the situation." Lu Fu couldn't figure it out.
He responded in a muffled voice.
When she came back, Lin Chunhuan had already finished dressing herself and went directly to the front yard.
The one who came from the East Palace was the chamberlain beside the prince. It was the one Lin Chunhuan wanted to beat and kill when she went to the East Palace for the first time. He was the person close to the prince.
The other one is Achai.
Seeing her coming, Achai didn't even look at Marquis Yuan Ning, and stepped forward directly, "I have seen the concubine. The prince is preparing the last part of the betrothal gift. She will arrive later."
"Should we sing the ceremony first, or wait until the Crown Prince arrives before starting?"
"Let's start first. His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know when he will arrive. It's the same thing if we wait and sing the ceremony at the same time!" Marquis Yuan Ning Talking happily.
Although I haven't seen everything yet, what I can see in front of me is enough to show that the prince attaches great importance to the Hou Mansion.
While speaking, Marquis Yuan Ning couldn't help but straighten his back.
However, Achai ignored him at all. He only waited until Lin Chunhuan nodded gently, and then responded softly, "Then I will listen to the Marquis. Happy Eunuch, sing the ceremony first!"
Marquis Yuan Ning's expression did not change, but he glanced at Lin Chunhuan calmly.
Achai’s move was obviously a warning to Marquis Yuan Ning.
What the prince values is not the Marquis Mansion, but Miss Lin Si of the Marquis Mansion!
“Twelve pearls from the East Sea.”
“Dozens of cloud brocades.”
"Four pairs of jade bracelets."
"..."
Betrothal ceremony requires opening the door and inviting everyone to watch the ceremony. Carrying things out in such a grand manner in the East Palace has already attracted people. A crowd of people gathered around to watch, and as the chamberlain sang the salute to Eunuch Xi, every word caused a burst of exclamation.
Everything in those nanmu boxes is a priceless treasure!
Even the Marquis of Yuanning couldn't help but stare. The second and third girls from the Hou Mansion came later, but even after hearing only half of the story, they looked at each other and stood at the edge. His breathing slowed down involuntarily.
When the happy father-in-law closed the betrothal gift list, the whole front yard was so quiet that you could almost hear a pin drop.
“Reply to Concubine Lin, Your Highness the Crown Prince has told me that these betrothal gifts will be put into your private treasury and put into the dowry, and you will take them back to the East Palace when the time comes.”
“ Please ask Concubine Lin to send someone to show you the way.”
It sounds like it’s just sending it here and back, but the meaning is completely different!
According to the laws of our dynasty, a woman’s dowry is all private property. Even if the holder dies without leaving a will, it will be fully inherited by her children.
Either it can be brought back by the mother's family, and the husband's family cannot touch it at all.
This law is equally applicable even to the royal family.
Anyone who wants to save face will never give a woman a dowry!
Lin Chunhuan pursed her lips and smiled, and gave a slight bow in return, "Thank you so much, Mr. Xi, Lu Fu, for leading the way for Mr. Xi."
"Hey!"
Lu Fu deserved to be lighthearted. When she passed by the second and third girls, she was so proud that her chin was raised to the sky.
Achai stepped forward again and pointed to the old nanny beside him, "Concubine Lin, this is Aunt Hong. Concubine Qin specially asked for it from the concubine. Before entering the East Palace, the money was Grandma will tell you the rules.”
