The next day, the two of them got on the carriage and left the village with Chen Tiehu and his party. On the bumpy mountain road, the two of them cuddled together.
After going down the mountain, the two of them entered the city together, walked through several streets, and returned to the door of Shang Mansion. The boy at the door saw that Shang Shixu and Lin Jingmo had returned, so he shouted inside and went to the carriage outside.
Help business timing down.
Han Zilan inside heard that Shang Shixu was back, and hurriedly ran from the side room of the main courtyard to the door. When she saw Shang Shixu getting off the carriage, she immediately took Lin Jingmo's hand, and instantly frowned, displeased.
Look at their tightly clasped hands.
Shang Shixu and Lin Jingmo entered the door and immediately saw Han Zilan waiting at the door, and they stopped.
Han Zilan asked: "Cousin, there has been no news for a few days. The court also sent people to look for you everywhere, but you couldn't be found. Zilan was frightened."
Shang Shixu smiled faintly and replied: "It's nothing."
After saying that, he suddenly felt a pain in the wound and frowned slightly. Seeing his painful look, Han Zilan hurriedly stepped forward to help him and said, "Cousin...how are you?"
Seeing that his face was pale and his body was full of the smell of herbs, he said, "Are you injured?"
Shang Shixu took out the arm she was holding and said, "It's okay, how is my mother lately?"
Han Zilan didn't answer. She lowered her head in disappointment, and suddenly looked at Lin Jingmo fiercely. Lin Jingmo met her eyes without any intention of giving in. After all, she was not the Lin Jingmo who had lost her memory before, not to mention Han Zilan's push.
When she goes into a dry well, she has new and old grudges, but she is not afraid of Han Zilan!
Seeing Lin Jingmo's fierce eyes, after a fight, Han Zilan actually retreated from the formation. Instead, she retreated, took a few steps back and leaned against Shang Shixu and said: "My cousin is injured, why don't you send anyone out?"
Send a message? Zi Lan was really frightened."
Chen Tiehu on the side said: "How come no one has been here? We sent someone to the Shang Mansion to spread the news!"
"Is that you?" When Han Zilan saw that it was Chen Tiehu, she stepped back behind Shang Shixu and said, "Cousin, he is with the bandits."
Shang Shixu said: "Nonsense, if the Chen brothers hadn't helped me this time, I would have died long ago!"
Han Zilan asked doubtfully: "Did they save you?"
Shang Shixu nodded helplessly.
Lin Jingmo looked at Han Zilan and felt that it was really boring, so he said to Qiaoxiang who came out from the side: "Arrange food and drinks for Xiao Huzi and the brothers. After eating, we will arrange guest rooms for them to stay!"
Qiaoxiang replied: "Yes."
Han Zilan was a little displeased and said: "Wait a minute, sister-in-law, what do you think this place is? This is the House of the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue. They are all thieves, how can they get in?"
"What are you talking about!" Chen Tiehu said angrily: "We are all heroes and righteous men. We have never harmed poor people. We just make some money and occasionally rob some ill-gotten gains! How can you slander us like this!"<
/p>
Han Zilan snorted coldly and said: "Humph, why have you forgotten that it was your eldest brother and his group who kidnapped me and wanted to harm me!"
"Girl, you can't say that!" one of them said: "You have been in our village for more than a month, and we have provided you with good food and drink. How have you ever been short of anything? Now that you have come out intact, you are discrediting our village.
Isn’t that kind?”
"What? Do you still want me to thank you?" Han Zilan was a little angry and ordered the boy at the door: "Go, go to Jingzhao Prefecture Yin to report that a group of mountain bandits have arrived at Shang Shangshu Mansion, and they have always suppressed bandits!" "Wait a minute." Upon seeing this, Shang Shixu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Zilan..."
Han Zilan has lived in Goulan for a long time, and has won countless favors with her innocent and pitiful look. It is the same now. She said with tears in her eyes: "Cousin! Although I came to Shang Mansion intact now, I was so scared when they locked me up.
, you know? Just because I can escape from danger, can I write off the bad things they have done before?"
Lin Jingmo didn't want to endure it anymore and said: "The person you should hate the most is not Xiaohuzi. His brother kidnapped you because Shuangyin gave them money. Unfortunately, your enemy was let go by your own hands.
What are you doing now relying on Xiaohuzi?"
After that, Lin Jingmo walked up to her and said: "Although you are very unpleasant, especially to me, I don't like you, but you were arrested by them and suffered a lot. You really have no reason to forgive them."
, However, you should know that if you insist on reporting it to the official, do you want me to tell you everything that happened before and let Jingzhao Mansion put an end to it together!"
Han Zilan was shocked when she heard this. Lin Jingmo hadn't mentioned the incident for so long since she came back. She thought Lin Jingmo would never mention it, but she didn't expect...
She looked embarrassed, took a few steps back, and watched Shang Shixu run away aggrievedly.
Shang Shixu looked at Lin Jingmo with some confusion.
Lin Jingmo just smiled at him, and then invited Chen Tiehu and his party to enter the house.
Chen Tiehu said: "Mrs. Shang, we don't need to bother you."
"Xiao Huzi, what's wrong with you?" Lin Jingmo said, "Is it because of what just happened? You don't have to worry, she doesn't dare to do anything to you."
Chen Tiehu shook his head and still said with a silly smile on his face: "We are indeed all bandits in the village. If people know that Mr. Shang has friends with us, it will only be harmful rather than beneficial! There is no need to stick to small details between us.
, Let’s just drink today’s meal. It’s getting late, so we’d better buy good things early and go back to the village.”
After saying that, Chen Tiehu made a fist and turned to leave.
"Little Huzi! Wait!" Lin Jingmo chased after him, pulled out the hairpin from his head and handed it to him, saying: "It's too late to go to the house to get you some money. I'll give you this to get more food for the winter.
If the weather gets better next year, I'd better go back to Nanling to farm!" After saying that, she turned around and looked at Shang Shixu.
Shang Shixu also came out and said, "Don't worry about Nanling. The Ministry of Household Affairs will allocate funds for you to provide disaster relief. It's important to get through this winter first."
"Is this true?" Chen Tiehu's face was filled with gratitude and he cried: "Can the people of Nanling not be hungry this winter?"
Shang Shixu nodded and smiled: "Yes!"
Chen Tiehu immediately knelt down and said: "Thank you, Mr. Shang! I thank you on behalf of the people of Nanling! If we can go back to our hometown to farm, why should we be bandits in the village! Thinking about the time I hurt you, I really shouldn't!"
”
"Don't say that!" Shang Shixu helped him up and said, "Didn't you save me once? The grudges between us have been wiped out. From now on, as long as I am the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Nanling will not increase taxes for no reason.
