On August 19th, it was Mrs. Chen’s 67th birthday.
Many wives and daughters of officials were invited to the banquet, and even Lin Minglang invited his friends in the court.
Lin Mingyue had received three invitations from the General's Mansion long beforehand.
Lin Yushu looked at the invitation in her hand and asked, "Father, are you going?"
Lin Mingyue's thick black eyebrows were knitted together, and he was obviously very reluctant to go, but he had to go due to the consideration of friendship.
"Go sign in, give the gift and leave."
Lin Yushu remembered what she received three days ago and tried to persuade him.
"Father, you don't have to be so thorough. Give them a way out. Maybe we can get what we want..."
Lin Mingyue was confused by Lin Yushu's words. It was just eating one more meal, no big deal.
After seeing Lin Mingyue off, Lin Yushu began to wash and change her clothes.
Chuntao stood aside, wanting to say something but hesitating, but finally couldn't help asking.
"Miss, the young lady of the Ruchang Marquis's mansion, oh, the Third Miss, what exactly did she send? I have been thinking about it for three days, but I still can't figure out what she meant by sending a bag of medicine residue."
Seeing Chuntao's face full of deep thought, Lin Yushu smiled slightly.
"The truth, a truth that has been hidden for ten years."
Lin Yushu unconsciously looked at the bag of dried medicine residue in the drawer of the dressing table. That was what Lin Fang sent to her three days ago. Others couldn't see it, but Lin Yushu instantly understood the source of the bag of medicine residue.
Lin Yushu immediately went to Changshengpu and asked them to find the court doctor who had treated her mother and prescribed medicine.
Today, she finally received good news.
"Has Madam Li set off?"
"Well, Cuizhu said that Nanny Li had already set out yesterday and will definitely arrive at the General's Mansion today."
"Oh, Miss, Aunt Qiao died half a month ago. What a pity! Miss Third just got pregnant..."
Lin Yushu's heart moved slightly. So that's why. No wonder Lin Fang gave her the medicine residue at this time.
Ever since Lin Fang married into the Ruchang Marquis' Mansion, she has been loved by her mother-in-law, Madam Han, and soon gained the power to manage the mansion.
Lin Fang was also a capable person. All affairs of the Marquis' Mansion were managed without any disorder under her management, even better than Madam Han herself.
Everyone in the mansion respected her as the young lady. Even Han Xu, who was always mischievous, had to give Lin Fang some face and didn't provoke her easily.
Unfortunately, some people can't stand her doing well.
Lin Yushu heard not long ago that when she was splitting up with the second wife, the second wife actually asked Lin Fang for money in order to make up the gap in Ye Yuanshuang's dowry.
The loan amount was one hundred thousand taels.
Of course Lin Fang couldn't come up with the money, so the Second Lady immediately changed her attitude and threatened Lin Fang with Aunt Qiao's safety in words and deeds.
Finally, Lin Fang had no choice but to take out 20,000 taels.
Lin Yushu knew that Aunt Qiao was very intelligent, and she was afraid that she had been waiting for Lin Fang to get pregnant. After all, if she died, Lin Fang would have to observe mourning for a year and could not have sex with her.
She didn't want to affect her daughter's future, nor did she want to be a burden to her daughter.
So, she finally chose to die at this time.
Lin Yushu knew that this medicine bag must have been something Aunt Qiao left for Lin Fang, to befriend Lin Yushu and do her a favor in exchange for her helping her daughter in the future.
Lin Yushu withdrew her gaze from the medicine bag and said silently in her heart: I appreciate your kindness, Aunt Qiao.
After everything was packed, Lin Yushu took Cuizhu to the general's residence to attend the birthday banquet, and let her meet her two brothers.
As her maid, all the people that Lin Yushu took away from the general's mansion had their indentures taken out together with them.
But Cuizhu's two brothers are still in the general's mansion, and Cuizhu's parents live in a farm in Qingshan County. Fortunately, the farm has belonged to Lin Yushu, and now Cuizhu's parents are appointed as stewards to help her manage the farm.
Cuizhu is dedicated and responsible by her side. For the sake of this loyal little maid, Lin Yushu has to get the indentures of her family members as soon as possible.
Lin Yushu set out with Lin Mingyue and Lin Ling, and half an hour later, they arrived at the gate of the general's mansion.
Their arrival instantly attracted a lot of curious eyes.
Everyone knows that Lin Mingyue has parted ways with Lin Minglang's family, and Lin Minglang even took advantage of Lin Mingyue's misfortune. No one expected that Lin Mingyue would actually come to the birthday party, which shows that he is very broad-minded.
The General's Mansion was extremely lively today. Even the Crown Prince and the Second Prince sent people to deliver gifts. Nan Huaishuo even came in person. After all, he would marry Lin Qingrou as his principal wife soon.
The last time the General's Mansion held such a grand banquet was when Lin Minglang was promoted to the position of Minister of Rites.
Looking at the lively crowds that came to show their support and the expensive gifts that flowed in like water, the old lady's face smiled like a chrysanthemum, so bright.
There was no way. Since the family split up, Lin Yushu took away Ye Yuanshuang's dowry and left the general's mansion burdened with a foreign debt of 80,000 taels. The entire mansion had been living frugally.
The little money left was spent on today's birthday banquet.
If the birthday gifts they receive are valuable enough, they can also take the opportunity to recoup some of their capital!
Therefore, the old lady must let Lin Mingyue and his family return home today, and asked the old lady to let them return home, and asked them to take out all the rewards to beg her! !
Unfortunately, until the banquet was about to begin, Lin Mingyue and his family of three did not appear in front of her.
The old lady's health had just recovered, but she was once again dizzy from anger. Fortunately, at this time, a maid came to reply.
"His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince is here to see you."
The old lady sobered up instantly, "Quick, please invite His Highness in."
Lin Qingrou, who had been accompanying the old lady, suddenly had a look of anticipation on her face, and a blush spread across her cheeks.
"You should spend more time with His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince and cultivate your relationship..."
When Lin Qingrou heard this, her face turned even redder and she lowered her head and responded softly.
This was the image of a shy and well-behaved filial daughter that Nan Huaishuo saw when he came in. Unfortunately, he already knew that Lin Qingrou and Lin Jiang had plotted against him, and now he had no good feelings towards them.
If Emperor Ming had not asked them to get married as soon as possible, he would not have wanted to marry her at all.
I thought that when I dealt with Lin Mingyue, I could bury the General's Mansion with him, so that he wouldn't have to marry Lin Qingrou.
Who would have thought that not only was Lin Mingyue unharmed, but the old fox Lin Minglang even directly separated from Lin Mingyue. He was truly a heartless and ungrateful person.
Nan Huaishuo didn't even look at Lin Qingrou, and just said a few polite words to the old lady.
Seeing that Nan Huaishuo was not at all warm to Lin Qingrou, the old lady became anxious.
"Second girl, accompany the Fifth Prince to walk around the flower garden."
Lin Qingrou glanced at Nan Huaishuo shyly. She also noticed his coldness and agreed immediately.
The two arrived at the flower garden one after another. Nan Huaishuo seemed to have made up his mind to ignore Lin Qingrou, but after a moment, he heard a cry from behind him.
"Your Highness has abandoned me?"
