"Your grandfather, Old Man Lin, suddenly asked about Fu Dou'er today. What do you think?" General Chang returned to the house and called Lin Zhu to the study and told her about today's meeting with Old Man Lin.
"He has never seen Fu Dou'er, how could he notice this?" Lin Zhu was surprised, but according to General Chang, Mr. Lin was not sure about Fu Dou'er's life experience, he was just inquiring.
"We must have been negligent somewhere." General Chang stroked his chin, thinking about what happened recently.
"As time passed a few days ago, Fourth Miss Lin also came with us. She saw Fu Dou'er. Could it be that she discovered something?" Lin Zhu thought about it, and this was the only possibility.
General Chang listened, thought deeply for a while, and thought that it was probably Lin Qingxue's reason.
"Now he has no evidence, and Old Man Lin doesn't dare to spread the word about Fu Dou'er easily." General Chang discovered from Old Man Lin's tone before that he didn't make any announcement, "Once word spreads, it will be a big deal to the Lin family.
The most disadvantageous."
"Grandpa, what should we do now?" Lin Zhu was still worried about Fu Dou'er's safety.
"Send it to Princess Changmin." After General Chang finished speaking, he waved his hand, "Forget it, stay at home for now. If you send it out now, it will definitely make Mr. Lin suspicious, so let's take a look before talking."
Since General Chang said this, Lin Zhu also felt that it was best to stay put for now. However, she still kept a closer eye on Fu Dou'er, lest the Lin family would cause unnecessary danger to Fu Dou'er after alerting the enemy.
Besides, after Mr. Lin returned to the Lin Mansion with a worried heart, he locked himself in the study and did not come out for a long time.
When Mrs. Lin saw her eating, Mr. Lin still locked himself in the study. She felt something strange in her heart, so she was helped to the door of his study in person.
"Master, it's past noon. It's time to eat." Mrs. Lin stood at the door and called to Mr. Lin.
"You come in, and everyone else will go out." After a while, Mr. Lin's very tired voice came from the study.
"Sit down." Mr. Lin, who seemed to have aged ten years suddenly, waved his hand and asked his wife to sit on a chair not far from him.
"Sir, are you having trouble?" Mrs. Lin had been married for many years. Mrs. Lin could tell at a glance that Mr. Lin was not in good condition.
"What do you think of that girl Lin Zhu?" Mr. Lin did not answer her question. Instead, he mentioned Lin Zhu.
"Although she is a country girl, she is very lucky. She met a good grandfather and got married into a wealthy family." Although she didn't like Lin Zhu, Mrs. Lin didn't say anything bad about her.
"Haha. How lucky is she?" Mr. Lin sneered. If he hadn't known that Lin Zhu was his granddaughter, he would have thought like his wife, and even asked several concubines in the family to try their luck.
uncertain.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?" Mr. Lin's behavior was so strange that Mrs. Lin was a little worried.
"If I say that girl is a child of our Lin family, what should you do?" Mr. Lin said in a shocking tone.
"You are joking." Although Mrs. Lin said this, she knew that Mr. Lin rarely joked, let alone joking about this kind of thing.
"Don't you remember the child that was the third child?" Mr. Lin had a helpless expression on his face. It seems that no one in the Lin family remembers that child. It's really ironic.
"Didn't you let that girl from the Wang family take you away a long time ago?" Mrs. Lin was startled by Mr. Lin's words. At first she was completely dissatisfied with the girl from the Wang family, and she was even more serious about the child she gave birth to.
She had never seen it. In fact, she had no idea where the child was.
"Did someone tell you that?"
"I'm just guessing like this. If such a young child doesn't follow his mother, who else can he follow?" Mrs. Lin felt that her words were a bit inappropriate.
"How could the Lin family's flesh and blood be taken away by the Wang family?!" Mr. Lin was a little angry, "But if it had been taken away by the Wang family, maybe it would be better now."
"Master, when you mentioned that child today, could it be that Lin Zhucheng from General Chang's family?" Mrs. Lin suddenly understood at this moment, but this fact made her find it difficult to accept, "It's impossible, how could this happen?"
"I also hope it's not true," Mr. Lin shook his head and sighed.
"Does she also know her own life experience?" Mrs. Lin asked nervously. Deep in her heart, she expected Lin Zhu not to know, because things had changed and she never wanted to bring up the incident again.
.
"I guess I've known it for a long time." Mr. Lin was thinking about something in the study just now, and he just thought of this.
"Master, I do not agree with her acknowledging her ancestors and returning to the clan." Mrs. Lin felt very angry. She thought that Lin Zhu had known about her life experience for a long time, but had not revealed it for a long time. She must be thinking about how to get compensation from the Lin family. Her
There are many granddaughters, and it doesn’t matter if there are more or less granddaughters. Therefore, in the eyes of Mrs. Lin, Lin Zhu is not worthy of being on the stage at all.
"It goes without saying that she has no such idea."
Mrs. Lin looked at the slumped expression of her husband sitting on the chair, and suddenly her heart moved. Could it be that he wanted that girl to come back? This was not possible. If she returned to the Lin Mansion, how would the Lin Mansion treat her externally?
, wouldn’t it make the whole capital see the Lin family’s joke?
"Master, if you feel sorry for that child, let's just give her more compensation. I heard that she is getting married soon, so it would be a nice thought to buy her a dowry." Mrs. Lin felt that she was already rich.
Sincere.
Mr. Lin listened and shook his head. According to his understanding, Lin Zhu had a large amount of wealth in his hands, and he seemed to have dealings with Mu Qiyue's Mu Yue Trading Company. In addition, Concubine Lan valued her very much.
With her status as a woman, she can also join the circle of noble ladies in the capital. The so-called dowry of the old wife is probably about the same as that given to a concubine. It is better not to show it to embarrassment.
Moreover, judging from the old wife's intention, she did not intend to repair the family relationship with Lin Zhu. In this case, it would be impossible to establish a good relationship with Lin Zhu from this aspect and indirectly inquire about Fu Dou'er.
Alas, let’s find another way. Mrs. Lin sighed inwardly.
"Master, is there something going to happen?" It has to be said that after being married for decades, Mrs. Lin still knows him very well.
"I will discuss some things with you after the investigation is clear. The fewer people know about it now, the better." In this way, Mr. Lin gave Mrs. Lin a positive answer. (To be continued...)
