Just when Lin Jingmo was struggling, someone handed in a message and reported: "General, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs is outside the door. He said he was here to pick up his wife."
"Hubu... Shangshu..." Lu Feicheng said slowly: "I didn't expect that he went to the north and came back and became Shangshu? Ha... He really rose to prominence!"
Lin Jingmo turned and looked in the direction of the door: Why is Shang Shixu here?
Lu Feicheng didn't wait for her to speak, so he could tell the informant: "Go out and tell him that Sister Jingmo has never been here, and let him go!"
Lin Jingmo said: "Since my husband has come to pick me up, I will leave first."
Lu Feicheng stopped her anyway, and asked with confusion on his face: "Since you know that he has done so many evil things, why are you still willing to go with him?"
Lin Jingmo looked at Lu Feicheng, his eyes full of ridicule and said: "Because he was the same before, desperate to marry me, a wicked woman who everyone yelled at."
Only then did Lu Feicheng realize that because of his timidity, he had already completely lost Lin Jingmo, who was always following behind him, but he still didn't want to let go just like that, so he said: "Yes, I care about your bad reputation everywhere."
I didn’t marry you, but you shouldn’t get angry and marry someone else!”
"Angry?" Lin Jingmo said angrily: "I never do anything out of anger. I married him because I admired him. Yes, he did a lot of wrong things, but he also did it for me.
A lot of changes, I think, if he hadn’t lost his father when he was in his infancy, he would never be like you, knowing that his father was wronged and refusing to defend him!"
Lu Feicheng was said to be speechless. It was himself who was cowardly and afraid at first, but now he is also greedy for life and afraid of death. What else is there to say?
Lin Jingmo saw that he stopped talking, so he walked towards the gate.
The moment the door was pushed open, she saw Shang Shixu, with an expression of joy or surprise on his face. He quickly walked to Lin Jingmo's side, took Lin Jingmo's hand and left.
Shang Shixu pulled Lin Jingmo to the horse. Lin Jingmo asked, "Why did you come here on horseback?"
Shang Shixu didn't answer. He picked up Lin Jingmo and put him on the horse's back. Lin Jingmo was startled by his actions. Just as he was about to say something, Shang Shixu also got on his horse and left with a "Drive!"
At the gate of Lu Mansion.
Along the way, Shang Shixu galloped regardless of the direction. He didn't know how long he ran before Shang Shixu finally stopped his horse.
He took Lin Jingmo off the horse and pointed to the road in front of him and said: "Don't you want to leave me, madam? Now you can follow this road to Huai'an, which is your hometown and your uncle. I believe,
He will definitely take you in."
Lin Jingmo looked at Shang Shixu in surprise: "Are you willing to let me go?"
Shang Shixu replied: "Yes, I will send a carriage with enough silver to send you away."
Lin Jingmo continued to ask: "Why do you want to send me away?"
Shang Shixu lowered his eyelids with some disappointment, his long eyelashes covered his dark eyes full of thoughts, and said calmly: "Madam has always regarded me as an enemy. I have been sorry to Madam. Now that Madam is by my side, I can only make you sad."
If you get nothing from resentment, why not let you go free!"
"Let me go free?" Lin Jingmo walked up to Shang Shixu, forced him to look at him and said, "Why have you refused to let me go for so long? This time it's because I went to the Lu Mansion and wanted to let me go.
Should I leave?"
Shang Shixu raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Jingmo, then quickly lowered his head with guilt.
Lin Jingmo's eyes began to moisten, and he continued stubbornly: "To prevent me from leaving with Lu Feicheng? Since you let me go, and since you said you won't stop me, why can't you go with Lu Feicheng?"
Seeing the sparkle in Lin Jingmo's eyes, Shang Shixu reached out and hugged Lin Jingmo gently, and said slowly: "I'm scared, I'm so scared!"
Lin Jingmo leaned into his arms and asked, "What are you afraid of? You have become a minister and a popular figure next to Zhongshu Ling, so what else is there to be afraid of?"
Shang Shixu's voice trembled slightly as he said, "I'm afraid they will hurt you. Rather than letting you get hurt, I might as well fulfill your wish and let you leave me."
Lin Jingmo asked: "Who... are they?"
Shang Shixu didn't say anything, and slowly released Lin Jingmo. He looked at Lin Jingmo's cold, tearful eyes, full of heartache. Who made her wife become like this?
"Madam...can you really...can't forgive me?" After saying this, Shang Shixu regretted it. In fact, he never thought that Lin Jingmo could forgive him, because what he did was not worthy of being forgiven. He
I want to respect her wishes, but I don't want her to leave. I have always been conflicted about keeping her by my side.
As expected, Lin Jingmo didn't answer, because she knew that Shang Shixu was unforgivable, and she kept reminding herself not to indulge in the illusion of love that Shang Shixu created for her, but she couldn't explain why she refused to kill him with her own hands. p>
Although Lin Jingmo did not answer, he gave Shang Shixu the answer. The two were silent for a long time before Shang Shixu said again: "Let's go back home."
Lin Jingmo did not refuse and walked to the horse in acquiescence. Shang Shixu was about to carry her onto the horse when several men in black appeared in the grass, holding swords and pointing at the two of them.
Shang Shixu subconsciously protected Lin Jingmo behind him and asked: "Who is it?"
Several men in black nodded to each other, and one of them said: "We only want Lin Jingmo's life, so you might as well just surrender."
Realizing that they were aiming at Lin Jingmo, Shang Shixu took out a dagger from his arms and said: "Knowing who I am, I advise you to retreat quickly. Do you know what it is to kill an official of the imperial court? If so,
If you dare to take one step closer, as long as I don’t die, I will pursue it until death.”
Seeing that he was unwilling to leave, several men in black rushed towards him. After a struggle, he always protected Lin Jingmo. Lin Jingmo watched him being stabbed by the men in black, so
Unable to bear it, she cried: "Go away, leave quickly, the person they want to kill is me!"
Shang Shixu refused to leave, so he finally seized the opportunity and used a dagger to injure one of the men's wrists. He picked up the knife that the man had thrown on the ground, took Lin Jingmo and walked towards the woods on both sides of the official road.
He ran away, but the group of men in black pursued him.
After running for a while, the two of them, one of whom was seriously injured and the other was too weak, finally caught up with them. One of them said: "Since you refuse to leave, you and your wife should be killed together. If you go to the underworld, you will also die.
So we can continue to be a couple!"
After saying that, he raised his knife and was about to chop it down, but Shang Shixu reached out and held his blade, and blood flowed out instantly.
