The two of them were crowded on the narrow bed of the inn. Lin Jingmo could only lean carefully into Shang Shixu's arms, with a little sadness in his eyes: "After father and sister died, mother Li was also killed. I am completely
Forget about Fang Cun, even though I knew Double Yin was not trustworthy, I still accepted her alienation."
Shang Shixu leaned down, kissed her forehead gently and said, "It's not your fault. If I hadn't given you hope in the past three years and accidentally stabbed you that time, you wouldn't be so distrustful."
I. What's more, the matter about my father-in-law... is indeed related to me. There are witnesses and physical evidence. There are too many secrets to hide, and I can't explain it..."
Hearing this, Lin Jingmo raised his head and blinked and asked, "What is the secret you want to hide?"
Shang Shixu didn't speak, not because he was unwilling, but because he didn't know where to start, and he didn't know how much to tell her to make her safer.
Lin Jingmo lowered his head, nestled on his chest and said, "Can't you say it?"
Shang Shixu listened to her slightly naughty voice and smiled with relief: "I will be the first to tell you when the day comes, okay?"
"I'm not stupid." Lin Jingmo said, "I can guess something like this even if you don't tell me, and I've already guessed nine out of ten of them. When the day comes that I can tell you, I don't have to tell you anything.
I also know, it’s like, you and Shen Yifeng suddenly became like a pair of friends, don’t I think there’s nothing to be confused about?”
"I'm very confused about this. Madam, can you tell me something?" Shang Shixu asked with a smile.
"Hmm..." Lin Jingmo thought for a while and said, "Master Shen is a bit uncharacteristic in his words sometimes, but his heart is good, he is upright and loyal. He used to hate you.
, because he thought you and Chen Mian were in the same group, but now, you have told him with practical actions that you are not only a good person, but also a high-ranking official who makes decisions for his own name and is not afraid of power. He is the same as you
How can people still hate you?"
Hearing this, Shang Shixu said with some displeasure: "That's it? You praised other men, why don't you talk about me who doesn't care about past grudges? If I hadn't been generous and calm enough to take his past rudeness to heart, you
Do you think he can get such great credit today?"
Hearing this, Lin Jingmo couldn't help but sneered: It's too early to talk about great achievements, right? We should leave alive first, right?
Seeing that she was silent, Shang Shixu reached out and touched her eyes and asked, "Are you asleep?"
Lin Jingmo took his hand and rubbed the joints on his hand, then stretched out his hand to clasp his fingers and replied: "No... I was just thinking..."
Shang Shixu said in a cold voice: "Still thinking about Shen Yifeng?"
Lin Jingmo laughed softly: "No! I was thinking... I am the truly generous person, right? You ignored me for three years, spent the whole day looking for flowers and asking for help, and even gave me your sister as a gift.
The gold hairpin pierced my head! I can still talk to you so calmly now. I really don’t know if I owe you something in my previous life!"
Shang Shixu knew he was wrong and didn't dare to say more.
Lin Jingmo said reluctantly: "Why don't you speak? Why don't you ever explain that matter?"
Shang Shixu was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "Because I was wrong about that thing. I regretted it countless times. I hate myself. Why did I almost kill the person I love most? I wish I could use the same method."
Every time you say you want to kill me, I feel that I am not qualified to explain, so I can only let you assassinate me again and again to alleviate the guilt in my heart..."
Lin Jingmo said anxiously: "But now I want to hear what you say. I want to know what you are thinking."
Shang Shixu continued: "When I married you, I neither loved you nor disliked you, but I had bad intentions. I only thought that although you were notorious, you were the daughter of Lin Shangshu, a man of character and integrity. I admired Lin Shangshu.
Naturally, his daughter is not bad as a person. Although I know that he will not seek personal gain to help me reach a high position, I understand that His Majesty loves Queen Lin and has such a noble brother-in-law. As long as I work hard, I can one day replace my parents.
Revenge. But...do you remember our wedding night?"
Lin Jingmo tried hard to recall, but just said flatly: "I remember sitting on the bed, and the double tone told me that it was too cold, and asked me to drink a cup of hot wine... and then I fell asleep."
Shang Shixu replied: "But when I saw off the guests and walked to the door of the room that night, Shuangyin blocked me from the door. She said to me that you married me not because of your feelings for me, but because of your heart.
The man above went to the border. In order to prevent your father from marrying you to someone else when he comes back, he decided to marry me, a low-status Tanhualang. Otherwise, as the second girl, if you want to marry, you have to choose the number one scholar.
! Not only because of my low status, I can humiliate you at will, but you know that my mother is crazy. If I dare not obey, I will attack her. After all, if a crazy woman accidentally fell into a well and died, who would doubt it?
Is it the noble Miss Lin Er who did it? Shuangyin also said that as long as I let you live in the main courtyard and never set foot in it again, and don't disturb the river, you will let me and my mother go. Otherwise, you will
Everyone knows that he is a notorious person, so it is not surprising that he would do something outrageous."
Hearing this, Lin Jingmo exclaimed: "Oh my God, double tone? How dare she... But why did you believe her words in the first place? You never asked me."
Shang Shixu sighed helplessly and said: "I was really surprised at the time, so I told her that I would wait outside the door and wait for you to tell me in person. Unexpectedly, she returned to the house, but I waited outside all night.
But I didn’t wait for anything..."
Lin Jingmo suddenly realized: "There must be some drug in her wine. I didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning after drinking it!"
"Even without medicine, your drinking capacity... I'm afraid..." Shang Shixu paused and continued: "I waited all night, thinking that this was your answer, so from that day on I locked my mother in the backyard and sealed it.
I have lived in all the wells in the backyard, and have never been to the main courtyard again. I don’t dare to have too much contact with you, for fear that you will be unhappy and hurt my mother. Although she is not my biological mother, she is my savior.
She has been with me since I was born. I am an orphan and have nothing, so I don’t want to lose this mother even more."
After hearing this, Lin Jingmo thought for a while and said, "No wonder one year my mother-in-law was beaten twenty times by Double Sound... I hadn't discovered her true identity at the time, so I got ten sticks for no reason. I guess it was you that year.
After finally having a meal with me, she started to attack the poor old man... Now that I think about it, I was too stupid. Because I grew up with her, I have always regarded her as my younger sister. If I have any concerns, I will tell her
She said that she took advantage of her...but...why did she do these things? The Lin family has never treated her badly, and I treat her very well. She is always angry in front of me on weekdays, but it is said outside that I am...
Evil woman, I can’t help but be angry at your indifference to me. So she’s the one who’s been calling for thieves all this time?”
