Lin Jingmo lay on the bed for more than ten days, unable to get out of bed smoothly until New Year's Eve. She listened to the sound of firecrackers outside the courtyard and remembered the time when she was not married. Although her father was busy with official duties, he would follow her every New Year's Eve.
The two sisters had New Year's Eve dinner together and then set off firecrackers. When she was little, her favorite thing to eat was the glutinous rice dumplings stuffed with meat that Li's mother made for her. Unfortunately... they are no longer here now, and they are celebrating the festival at their enemy's house.
He also suffered injuries all over his body.
Lin Jingmo felt that he was useless. After entering Prince Zhao's Mansion for so long, he could not find any evidence, nor did he see Chen Minran.
Everyone is very busy tonight. Mother Liu, who usually takes care of herself, has also returned home. The other little girls also went to have wine and have fun together. Lin Jingmo thought about it, and her tears flowed down unsatisfactorily, accompanied by the slow sound of firecrackers.
Slowly fell asleep.
In her sleep, she suddenly heard the sound of breaking things, and Lin Jingmo was suddenly awakened. Following the burned out candlelight, she saw Mrs. Qing who was in a hurry trying to pick up the pieces on the ground, but she accidentally hurt her.
Got it.
"Safe to pieces!" Lin Jingmo said hurriedly: "Madam, don't pick it up, just for good luck, be careful not to scratch your fingers."
Mrs. Qing pouted innocently, stretched out her fingers and said: "It's already scratched... Wuwuwu... My hands, which haven't done rough work for a long time, are actually injured. But fortunately, you don't lack injuries here.
Please put some medicine on me."
Lin Jingmo stood up, looked at Mrs. Qing, shook her head helplessly, and said: "Madam, you want to try the medicine here, but there is no need to worry. New Year's Eve is after New Year's Eve, and applying ointment is always a bit unlucky.
." Lin Jingmo pointed to his knitting basket placed far away and said: "There are red thread strips left over from making clothes inside. You tie a piece of it and take it off tomorrow when the wound has solidified."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qing put the injured finger into her mouth and said, "It doesn't matter, the bleeding is gone. When I was a girl, I was often injured and was not so delicate." She looked down at the food on the ground, a little confused.
He said disappointedly: "Okay, these meals..."
Lin Jingmo asked: "Are the meals given to me?"
Mrs. Qing stared at her clear and innocent eyes and said, "Yes! I thought it would be very boring for you to stay in the room alone, so I brought some meals that the prince rewarded me to see you!"
Looking at the food on the floor, Lin Jingmo was very moved and asked with some confusion: "Your Majesty loves Madam Qing the most, why don't you spend New Year's Eve with Madam?"
Mrs. Qing sat next to Lin Jingmo, shook her head and said: "How can the master and his wife celebrate the New Year! The prince, princess, and the young prince are enjoying themselves as a family, so who am I?"
Seeing this, Lin Jingmo consoled him: "How could it be? The entire palace knows that the prince favors Madam Qing the most! If it weren't for Madam's sake, the villain would have been beaten to death long ago!"
"Yes, he is very kind to me and dotes on me, but I know that what he likes more is power! He knew clearly that the person who hurt my child was a bitch named Chen, but he still beat you..."
As Mrs. Qing spoke, she turned to look at Lin Jingmo: "I was not the one who really saved you that day. Although I have sent Mother Liu to rescue you, without the permission of the prince, you must endure four
Ten sticks will do. Someone stopped the executioner and sent you to the medical center for treatment."
Lin Jingmo asked: "Who is he?"
Mrs. Qing shook her head and said: "I don't know either. I only know that he is a high-ranking official from the capital. This time he came to check Chenzhou's old accounts. He returned to the capital a few days after rescuing you."<
/p>
Lin Jingmo wondered in his heart: A high-ranking official in the capital? Could it be... No, I tried every means to kill him, how could he save me? He is with King Zhao, how could he not expose me? Mrs. Qing turned to look at Lin Jingmo, who was absent-minded, and asked in confusion: "Mo'er? What's wrong with you?"
Lin Jingmo came back to his senses and replied: "It's nothing, I just... miss my family. After all, it's... the New Year."
"Family..." Mrs. Qing smiled slightly, took off her shoes and sat cross-legged on the bed. She tilted her head and looked at Lin Jingmo and said, "Normally, everyone looks down on me. In order to show off my authority, I often treat others harshly. Only you
You are willing to help me sincerely, because I have suffered such serious injuries. I have no family, and you have no family. How about we become sisters, so that we can have support and reliance in the future."
Lin Jingmo was confused and said hurriedly: "I'm just a girl..."
"What's wrong with the girl?" Mrs. Qing frowned and said, "I was also a girl before!"
Lin Jingmo looked at Mrs. Qing's sincere face and was at a loss. He didn't even tell her her true identity and name. How could he be so embarrassed to be her sister?
Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, Mrs. Qing said angrily: "How can you say that I am also the master now? I am willing to be your sister, but you are still hesitant? Apart from me, can you climb other high branches?" p>
Lin Jingmo was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Madam is right, I have a low status and I really don't dare..."
"You still say you don't dare?" Mrs. Qing said: "I see that you have tender skin and tender flesh, and your hands don't look like those who usually do rough work. Could it be that... you are a craftsman from an enemy country, that's why you don't want to work with us?"
Can I be sincere?"
Lin Jingmo quickly replied: "Madam, I am not!"
Seeing her anxious look, Mrs. Qing couldn't help laughing and said, "Is it because you disliked my low status and often treated my servants harshly, so you didn't want to be a sister with me?"
"You are wronging me by saying this." Lin Jingmo said: "Although you say you are not forgiving, but you are so talkative and petty, how can it be considered harsh treatment? Since you don't dislike it, Mrs. Qing, then
I will become sisters with my wife, and I will do my best to help you in the future."
"Okay, it's a deal!" Mrs. Qing took off the jade pendant from her neck and handed it to Lin Jingmo, saying: "I grew up in a humble background, and my parents were ordinary farmers. They didn't have anything valuable.
This small jade pendant is the only relic left by my mother to me. Although the prince has rewarded me with a lot of gold and silver jewelry, all the things are not worth this small jade pendant. It is the symbol of my mother's love for me.
, is also the only jewelry I cherish. Today, I will give it to you. I, Qu Qingqing, am willing to marry Lin Mo'er. How old are you, Mo'er?"
Lin Jingmo replied: "After the New Year, it will be two decades of glory."
Mrs. Qing smiled and said: "Seeing that you are just a little girl and you are one year older than me, then you can be my sister."
