Han Zilan smiled slightly and replied: "Thank you, cousin, and sister-in-law."
Shang Shixu asked: "Has Zi Lan eaten? Why not eat some with us?"
Han Zilan glanced at Lin Jingmo and saw that she didn't speak but just lowered her head, so she replied meaningfully with a smile on her face: "No need, Zilan won't disturb my brother and sister-in-law."<
/p>
After that, Han Zilan left the room, and Lin Jingmo put the food into her mouth. Although she didn't understand what Han Zilan was doing here, she was still glad that she didn't sit down. After all, she didn't know how to deal with this so-called
getting along with my cousin.
Shang Shixu looked at Lin Jingmo, who was full of worries, and said softly: "Madam, don't worry, my cousin and I are only brother and sister. We were and still are. I will find a good family for her."
When Lin Jingmo heard this, he looked up at him and said, "I'm afraid she won't agree."
"How could it be?" Shang Shixu said: "My cousin has grown up with me since she was a child. My eldest brother is my father, so she naturally listens to my words!"
When Lin Jingmo heard these words, he suddenly frowned and looked at Shang Shixu and said, "Although I don't like your cousin, if you rely on your status as her cousin to force her to marry someone she doesn't like,
, I don’t want to either!”
Shang Shixu smiled when he saw Lin Jingmo, who looked serious, and said, "Instead of thinking about this, why don't we think about where we are going to take a walk after dinner to relax?"
Lin Jingmo shook his head and said, "No, I'm going to burn incense for my father and sister later. You've become a minister, so why don't you have to deal with as much official business as before?"
Shang Shixu replied: "Of course there are many things, but nothing is as important as spending time with my wife. I will accompany you to burn incense after dinner!"
Lin Jingmo said angrily: "If you are really serious, I'd better advise you to handle official affairs well. What my father hates most in his life are those officials who don't do their jobs well despite being paid well by the court! You don't want him to be disappointed with you, right?
”
Shang Shixu curled his lips when he heard this and had to give up.
After the two had dinner, Shang Shixu went to the study to deal with official documents, while Lin Jingmo went to the side hall to burn incense. Unexpectedly, Lin Jingmo just walked into the side hall and was about to burn incense, and found that there were still several incense sticks inserted in the incense burner.
The incense had been burning for a while, and just when I was wondering, a man ran out from behind the door.
Lin Jingmo turned around and saw that it was actually a double tone!
"Double tone!" Lin Jingmo said sternly: "How dare you come?"
When Lin Jingmo was about to call someone, Shuangyin fell to his knees with a plop and grabbed Lin Jingmo's skirt with both hands and begged: "Girl, please, for the sake of our more than ten years of friendship, please don't do it."
Yell!"
Lin Jingmo shook off her hand and said: "If I had known today, why would I do it now? Although you are my maid, your food and clothing expenses have been the same as mine since you were a child. I regard you as my sister, but you are
You go around saying bad things about me and frame me up, but you actually do the opposite and collude with bandits to kidnap Han Zilan. Do you know that if I don’t save her, she will probably die! And Mother Li! Tell me the truth, Li
Mom...did you kill her?"
Shuangyin quickly denied it and said: "Mother Li has watched me grow up since she was a child. How could I kill her?"
She knelt and moved a few steps forward in Lin Jingmo's direction. She looked into Lin Jingmo's eyes and said sincerely: "How can I have the courage to kill someone? Girl, we have known each other since we were children. We are like sisters. You know that I
Yes, I don’t have the guts!”
Lin Jingmo refused to believe it, so she asked silently: "It's not you? Then why are you running? Why did you disappear after Mama Li was killed?"
Shuangyin shook his head crazily and said: "Girl, it's really not me. If it were really me, how dare I come to offer incense to Mother Li, the master and the second girl today?"
Lin Jingmo looked at the incense in the incense burner and asked, "Did you burn the incense?"
"Exactly!" Shuangyin said: "My master has been very kind to me. Mother Li has watched me grow up since I was a child. Even if I am in a dangerous situation, I still have to come and offer this incense stick!"
"Are you in danger?" Lin Jingmo said dubiously: "Why?"
Shuangyin looked into Lin Jingmo's eyes and said, "Because I saw the real murderer who killed Mother Li!"
Lin Jingmo hurriedly leaned over and asked: "Who is it? Who is the real culprit who killed Mother Li!"
Shuangyin lowered his head and said in fear: "Douyin dare not... dare not say..."
"What are you afraid of?" Lin Jingmo stretched out his hand to pull Shuangyin up and continued to ask: "Who is that person? Shuangyin, tell me!"
Shuangyin stood up, pretending to be flustered and said, "It's my lord!"
"Sir?" Lin Jingmo was still digesting the word "sir", but still asked unwillingly: "Which master?"
Shuangyin met Lin Jingmo's eyes, his eyes full of determination, and said: "That's it...it's Lord Shang Shixu! The Lord of our family!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Lin Jingmo couldn't believe it, and Shang Shixu...
How could it be business timing!
Yes, it won’t be business timing!
Lin Jingmo said sternly: "I won't shed tears until I see the coffin! You are a liar, how could I believe you?"
But Shuangyin cried and said: "Girl...my girl! Shuangyin has offended many times in the past. He once told lies to girls, but all of them were under the instigation of others!"
"Instigated by others?" Lin Jingmo sneered: "Could it be that he was coerced by Shang Shixu into not doing what he did? Double tone! How could you become like this? Three years ago, you and Shang Shixu didn't know each other at all.
, how did he instruct you to do those things to slander my reputation?"
But Shuangyin cried more and more fiercely, and said with tears all over his face: "What happened three years ago was all a misunderstanding. I didn't mean to harm your girl, but what happened three years later was all because of Shang Shixun! Yes
I accidentally did something wrong again, and he threatened me to tell you. I was afraid of being punished by you, so I committed more wrong things!"
Lin Jingmo still didn't believe it and said, "Okay, tell me the reason why Shang Shixu wanted to kill me, and the reason why he killed Mother Li!"
"It's because our Lord Shangshu is his enemy!" Shuangyin said while crying: "The reason why his family was ruined and homeless was all our master's fault. Therefore, he colluded with Zhongshu Ling all to take revenge on the Lin family! The backyard!
The mad woman was not his biological mother. Their entire family was slaughtered, how could anyone still be alive? That was his mother’s maid!"
Lin Jingmo was extremely shocked when he heard this. What are these words?
Shuangyin looked at Lin Jingmo's surprised expression and continued: "As for Mother Li... because Mother Li found those two pages in his study, which were evidence that the girl was lost on her way home. Not only that, Mother Li also speculated that
He was the real culprit who killed the girl, so he would not stop doing anything to kill Mother Li!"
