"Think about it, after Lu Zheng and Gu Xin get married next January, who will manage our household? It will definitely be Gu Xin. If you don't get married, or don't marry someone with a strong background, you will be implicated no matter what. Not only Gu Xin, but also your second aunt from the second branch. She is the best at stirring up trouble. Gu Xin doesn't seem easy to deal with. She will use you to deal with your second aunt. You might be sold out by her without even knowing it."
"So, Ni'er, you must make the most of this opportunity."
When this was mentioned, Lu Ni's resolve hardened.
Yes, if she doesn't marry well, her life won't be easy. Even if she marries someone from the Great Zhou, she is still the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. In that case, people will have to consider Gu Xin's feelings. Who will treat her well?
But if she marries Prince Tian Tian, then Dong Zhe will no longer be acting according to Gu Xin's wishes, but rather according to the wishes of the Great Zhou.
At that time, she will represent the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the people of Dongzhe will not dare to do anything to her.
The more Lu Ni thought about it, the more she felt that Lin was right.
However, there is a problem: she doesn't have what her mother mentioned.
Thinking this way, Lu Ni also asked the same question.
Lin gave a polite smile: "I have this. I took it with me when I went out today."
Lu Ni looked at Lin Shi in surprise.
Is this even possible?
He came to see his daughter, and he even brought that kind of medicine with him?
Lu Ni didn't know what to say about her mother.
She didn't want to think about it too much, otherwise, she was afraid she would lose all attachment to this world.
Lu Ni felt a little better when she saw Lin Shi take off a hairpin.
This hairpin was something her mother always wore, not something she wore because of her, so her mother didn't intend for her daughter to wear it.
Madam Lin placed the hairpin in Lu Ni's hand, then turned to look at the Dali Temple constables and the Ministry of Rites clerks who were looking this way from the main gate, and said, "This hairpin of mine has been blessed. Ni'er, don't be afraid. Wear it, and nothing unclean will appear. Sleep well tonight and cooperate well with your brother and your future sister-in-law. Mother believes that your brother and your future sister-in-law will not mistreat you."
Lu Ni readily accepted the hairpin, inserted it into her hair, and nodded obediently: "I understand, Mother. With Mother's hairpin, I won't be afraid at night. I won't cause trouble for my brother and sister-in-law, and I won't need any maids to serve me."
Lin helped tidy up the position of the hairpin.
Seeing this, the yamen runners from the Court of Judicial Review and the minor officials from the Ministry of Rites stopped looking in their direction and continued to act as "gatekeepers."
Madam Lin lowered her voice and said, "There's plenty of it in here. Put some in for yourself and put all of it in for him. Just lie here and he'll come over on his own. Ni'er, don't be afraid. I know you've been wronged, but after this, your life will get better, and it won't be like this for the past year or two."
Tears welled up in Lu Ni's eyes, but she tried hard to hold them back and nodded firmly.
Lin didn't stay there for long. After chatting for a while, she got up and went back.
After leaving Lu Ni and Prince Tian Tian's room, she asked someone outside to take her to find Lu Zheng and Gu Xin.
She showed great concern for the two of them, telling them not to overwork themselves and to delegate tasks to others instead of doing everything personally.
She portrayed the image of a loving mother so vividly that anyone who didn't know her would definitely think she was a good mother.
