This was a serious thing, and no one could find out about it. That was what Jessie Luo thought to herself, so she looked warily from left to right to make sure that there was no one else besides Rosy and herself. "Have you thought it through?" She wanted to know if Rosy was sure about it, "Sweetheart, as you know, an arrow shot out from the bow stands no chance of return."
"I don't want to go back on my decision, " Rosy answered, "My grandfather deserves to die. That damn old man treats me so badly. I'm couldn't be more happy about his death." Rosy's grudges had started to flow out through her anger.
"That's all right. But you have to calm down and take it easy now. We have to make a thorough and flawless plan, " Jessie advised Rosy.
"I've thought it all over. And yes, you're right. There is indeed no need to worry now. My grandfather said that the holiday resort and the Sky Building would only be taken over by Linda after the babies in her stomach would be born. She would be due in two months, and thus, as long as we can come up with a great plan in the following two months..."
The more Rosy thought about it, the more thrilled she was. Why hadn't she thought of this scheme before? Lord Nalan's death would largely do her good. When that would happen, she could possibly even succeed all of the properties of the Nalan clan.
Although Lord Nalan didn't like her at all, her father and her brother both loved her very much. She could do anything she wanted to do after her grandfather's death because Rosy knew that she had the favors of her immediate family members.
Now, everything was ready to devise Lord Nalan's death.
At Linda's Garden, Nalan Mansion
Nelson came to look for Linda Xia in the Garden shortly after she had gotten back there. He came a little late because he had to deal with some other things first.
Despite the queries of everyone concerned, Nelson himself didn't know who had put those lavenders in the dining room. However, he knew that Lady Rosy used to enjoy the fragrance of the lavenders, so she would ask the servants to put some lavenders in the dining room. But that was long time ago.
It might have just been an accident, Linda thought. She, then, decided to stop looking into these lavenders.
Although she got uncomfortable with the fragrance of those lavenders from the dining room, she felt much better now and the flowers seemed to have little harm to the babies in her present stage of pregnancy, so Linda decided to let the matter go.
After all, she had been pregnant for already eight months. She was confident that the fragrance of lavender would not cause her a miscarriage that easily.
Linda had slept well that night. The next morning, Lord Nalan sent for a servant to invite Linda to have breakfast in his garden.
Different from the family feast the night before, Linda and Lord Nalan had breakfast together without anyone else. After eating, Linda accompanied her grandfather to play chess for a while.
They played chess until noon. Linda started to feel a little tired, so they had to stop after a while. Linda hadn't played chess with her grandfatherp for a long time. Lord Nalan's chess skills were so exquisite that she, an amateur, could hardly defeat him. But he would also give her some chances to win depending on the situation on the chessboard.
Otherwise, Linda would end up crying for losing the game over and over again.
After lunch, Lord Nalan suddenly asked Linda to go to the study with him.
Upon seeing a very serious expression on his face, Linda was curious as to what he would want from her. She followed her grandfather into the study without saying a word.
Inside the study, he took two files from a secret drawer of this room. He handed them to her and said, "Linda, here you are. I know that my health is deteriorating, and maybe one day, I will die during my sleep. The papers can be regarded as my promise to your babies. Since they are still too young, you and Young Master Mu can keep them until they are old enough to take over. "
Linda looked over the files and found that these were the certificates of property rights of the Sky Building and the holiday resort.
The certificates had Linda Xia as the owner of the estate, and it seemed to have been done for quite some time judging from the date on the paper. It meant that Lord Nalan started to prepare the gift for his great-grandchild a long time ago before knowing that Linda was expecting twins.
