"Prince, what birthday gift are you going to give to the old lady?" The old lady is very important in the Lin Mansion. The whole mansion has been preparing for the old lady's birthday recently, and everyone is busy, especially Zhong, who is very particular and dedicated, showing his filial piety and consideration to the old lady everywhere.

Baili Xue thought for a while, "Didn't this kind of thing always be prepared by you?"

Qi Xin said, "After all the things in the past are irrelevant, but this time it is the old lady's birthday. The two houses of the big and second houses have tried their best to please the old lady. I dare not make decisions without authorization."

Baili Xue couldn't help laughing. It was true that this matter really required her to worry about it. Her grandmother favored her and tried every means to protect her. She heard that Zhong went to the old lady to sue her. However, when she came out of Shoukang Courtyard, her face was dark. It seemed that not only did she not get the favor, but she was scolded. Zhong never expected this result.

There is a problem that Qi Xin has always been unable to understand. Logically speaking, the princess and the eldest wife of the Lin family, Zhong, did not have direct conflicts of interest, nor did there be any conflicts in the past. Even if the third lady Lin Zimei had an inappropriate thought about the princess' fiancé, King Rui, then Lin Zimei was also from the second wife. Qi Xin would never believe that the eldest wife could stand up for the second wife and secretly ran the princess.

The eldest lady who has been in charge of the Lin Mansion for many years is definitely not such a mindless person. Moreover, Qi Xin understands that Zhong has always looked down on the second wife who was born in vain. How could he offend the princess for the second wife?

But on the day of picking up the princess, Zhong not only sent a servant to pick up the princess with a noble status, but also after they moved into the Lin Mansion, the eldest lady was kind and enthusiastic, respectful and considerate. In fact, she not only secretly sent someone to monitor Liuxianju, but also gave the princess some invisible warnings and constraints at various times and places, which made Qi Xin puzzled her.

"I can't understand why the eldest lady has such an intriguing attitude towards the princess?"

Baili Xue thought for a moment and told her, "It's nothing to let you know. You may have forgotten that my aunt is not just Lin Ziting, the daughter who is famous in the capital."

"The princess is talking about Miss Lin's eldest daughter, Miss Lin?" After so long, everyone who should have met was almost the same, except for one master, Lin Ziyu, the eldest daughter of Lin's family. I heard that this lady has been in her twenties. Because she is weak and sick, she has been living in seclusion for many years and has not seen outsiders.

Baili Xue nodded, "That's right, under Lin Ziting's dazzling aura, not many people remember my eldest cousin, but she is my aunt's first daughter after all, and my aunt can't forget it."

Qi Xin was even more puzzled, "But what does this have to do with the princess?"

"After my sister-in-law died of illness, my aunt had thought of begging Lin Ziyu to her brother." The deceased Princess Jiangxia is the eldest daughter of the current emperor and Princess Duanyang. She died of illness less than half a year after marrying King Jiangxia.

Qi Xin was shocked. She, a slave, would never have thought that there was such a secret. She asked urgently: "What about it later?"

"I don't know the specific situation, but when General Feng said that his brother refused, he had no intention of marrying the eldest daughter of Lin."

Qi Xin was shocked for a long time before calming down. The prince was so talented and powerful that he must have the moon first.

"The eldest lady came from a famous family and married into a wealthy family. Now she is the wife of the Shangshu. She has a smooth journey. She has whatever she wants. She has a strong personality and is domineering. She must have felt that the grandson of the Lin family would naturally agree to this marriage, but she never expected to be rejected. So she was blind, was angry, and did not dare to treat the prince, otherwise it would damage her virtuous reputation and could only treat the princess secretly."

Baili Xue added: "Most of them are right, but not only that. Since then, my eldest cousin has not married anyone else. After so many years, she is not young anymore, but she is still in the boudoir. Could it be that the eldest lady would not let her marry? Could it be that the Lin family cannot find a more suitable son-in-law to ride the dragon?"

Qi Xin suddenly realized, "Could it be... it was the eldest lady of the Lin family who refused to get married?"

Baili Xue nodded, "It should be that with the Lin family background, my cousin has been reluctant to marry, so there must be a lot of discussion in the city, and of course it will not be a good thing. The eldest lady has a beautiful and talented daughter who is the best in the capital, but also a daughter who has become a laughing stock in the family. To be honest, this made her lose face. If she hadn't refused to marry, she wouldn't have been in the current situation. The Jiangxia Palace is like a thorn in the eldest lady's heart. I'm afraid that when she sees me, this thorn will hurt her. Now the thorn is in front of her, and of course she feels unhappy."

Qi agreed deeply, "So the eldest lady made a fool of herself and counted the debt to our Jiangxia Prince's Mansion? But why did the eldest lady of the Lin family refuse to get married again?"

Baili Xueman thoughtfully: "Only she knows the reason."

"The prince does not marry the eldest daughter of the Lin family, and he will have the principle of being the prince. Can't he even force someone to marry him? This eldest lady not only does not think about her own faults, but also takes her anger at others. She seems to be virtuous and virtuous, and the heart of a bodhisattva, but from this incident, we can see that she is not a truly wise person. Not only is she narrow-minded, but also has a good skill. Princess, we still have to be careful."

Baili Xueqiu Shui's eyes shook slightly, "Don't worry, she doesn't dare to do anything to me at the moment. The old lady is watching. She wants to use a knife to kill people and want Lin Zimei to take action against me first. It would be better if we both lose money and she can sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight."

Qi Xin sneered, "How can there be such a cheap thing in the world? I'm afraid the eldest lady is not as popular as this fun."

Baili Xue chuckled and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, will the royal family send someone to congratulate the old lady on her birthday?"

Qi Xin replied: "The old lady is a first-class lady. The royal family will send someone to congratulate you, but it is not clear who will come. Is the princess worried about His Royal Highness?"

Xuanyuan Jue? Baili Xue's handsome carved cheek appeared in front of her eyes, and she was silent for a moment. Xuanyuan Jue obviously knew his identity, but his purpose was unknown. He was not a simple princess, but behind him was the powerful King Jiangxia. As the prince, Xuanyuan Jue, probably wouldn't ignore it.

Qi Xin said again: "But according to our understanding, His Highness the Crown Prince has lived in seclusion in recent years and rarely attended various banquets of the court officials. However, His Highness Luo, who is under the empress Hui, has been closer to the court officials, so he is likely to come. His Highness Rui has a wide range of friendship and has been to Lin's house recently, so he should come too."

Baili Xue nodded, "At that time, the old lady's birthday party will definitely be very lively. I will prepare a unique birthday gift for the old lady. After all, my grandmother treats me sincerely."
