Shang Shixu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked, "What was Madam just talking about?"
Only then did Lin Jingmo realize that he didn't hear what he was saying at all...
She carefully nestled in Shang Shixu's arms and slowly comforted her: "It's nothing? I'm just telling you, let's go back to the mansion as soon as possible and then see if Zilan is there. If she is not here as Master Yu said,
If there is someone in the house, then send someone out to look for it quickly."
Shang Shixu looked at Lin Jingmo with some surprise and asked: "How can you be so considerate, but my husband is at a loss."
"What are you talking about!"
Lin Jingmo pouted and said: "I am Lin Yuanzhi's daughter. I have read poetry and books since I was a child. How can I be at odds with your cousin? Although she has made many mistakes, she has not been convicted yet. Naturally
You can't let her suffer outside. What's more, she is your only relative, and I just feel sorry for you..."
Shang Shixu held Lin Jingmo tightly in his arms, then kissed her on the forehead and said, "If you have such a wife, what more can a husband ask for!"
Just as Lin Jingmo was about to say something, the carriage stopped and the driver outside said to the inside: "Sir, we're here."
Shang Shixu jumped out of the carriage in a big stride, then helped Lin Jingmo out of the carriage, and said to the guard at the door: "Where is my cousin? Did you see her come out?"
The guard replied: "I haven't seen anyone go out, let alone my cousin."
Lin Jingmo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but saw Shang Shixu running into the house quickly, and Lin Jingmo quickly followed him.
Shang Shixu went straight to the main courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he grabbed his mother who was in charge of cleaning up the courtyard and asked, "Where is my cousin?"
The mother shook her head, and Shang Shixu opened the door, but Han Zilan was not there either.
Lin Jingmo followed up and saw that the main courtyard was dark, with only the mother who was responsible for the interruption holding a lamp. When she saw Shang Shixu hurriedly came out of the room, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Is she there?" p>
"Not here."
Shang Shixu shook his head and said with worry in his eyes: "Could it be that what I just said was too harsh? Zi Lan..."
Lin Jingmo lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Maybe...she returned to Ruixiang Tower!"
Shang Shixu replied: "If she went to Ruixiang Tower, how could she not find Gai Zhi? It's a pity that I have to go to court tomorrow. I'm afraid I'm going to find her at this time..."
Lin Jingmo hurriedly said: "My husband is going to prepare to go to court tomorrow, and I will send people from the palace to look for her."
But Shang Shixu shook his head and said: "You have been tired for a long day, and you have been busy traveling these past few days. You go back to the remote area to sleep first. I will pack things for tomorrow's court in the study and wait for news.
”
Lin Jingmo wanted to say that she would accompany him, but the thought of him was already annoying enough. If she was still hanging around him at this time, wouldn't it only increase her worries?
So she had no choice but to obediently return to the bedroom in the side courtyard. After washing, Lin Jingmo changed into her middle coat and waited in the room. She knew that Shang Shixu would not come back tonight, but she couldn't sleep. Tomorrow, Shang Shixu would go to court.
Lin Jingmo knew in his heart that the testimonies of Zhou Mohan and the people of Nanling, as well as the accounts collected from the Nanling treasury, were not enough to prove that Chen Mianzheng and Qi Xuanyi were involved. At most, they could only prove that Zhou Mohan was committing theft. It's a pity that Chen Mianzheng is very cunning. Every time the two of them exchange letters, he will ask Zhou Mohan to burn the letters. He also orders Lu Feicheng to be killed. There is still too little evidence. Chen Mianzheng must plead guilty unless... p>
Lin Jingmo secretly calculated in her heart that she knew that appearing in front of Chen Mianzheng was like falling into a trap, but she was also worried that Chen Mianzheng could not be brought to justice!
If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs...
……
After a deep sleep all night, Lin Jingmo woke up with the sun shining brightly. She curled her lips and said silently: It's a good weather!
She stood up, picked out suitable clothes from the closet, put them on, and then dressed up again, because today was the day to meet Chen Mianzheng.
After Lin Jingmo dressed up, she got on the carriage and came to the palace. She waited quietly outside the palace gate and looked at the tall tower opposite the palace gate. Until now, she still doesn't understand how strong her father is.
Why do people jump from the city gate?
But she understood that there must be some reason, and this reason must be related to the world.
She waited for a while, and when she arrived at Shen Yifeng, Shen Yifeng saw her from a distance, and trotted all the way to her side. After looking around, he asked: "Why are you here? It's not safe here. Go back to Shang Mansion!"
”
Lin Jingmo smiled and asked: "How was the court today?"
"What else can be done?" Shen Yifeng shrugged helplessly and said: "Zhou Mohan retracted his confession on the spot, saying that he was greedy for pleasure, guarded and committed theft, and had nothing to do with anyone else. He took all the blame, Zhongshu Ling, King Zhao, and Lian Nanling
I’ve never touched it..."
Sure enough...
Lin Jingmo already understood this, so he comforted Shen Yifeng and said: "Master Hou has done his duty and has done everything you can do. There is no need to worry too much about this matter."
"What about you?" Shen Yifeng looked behind him from time to time and said to Lin Jingmo: "Aren't you going back yet? Do you have to wait for your Lord Shang?"
Lin Jingmo shook his head: "I'll leave now."
Shen Yifeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, helped Lin Jingmo get into the car, and watched her leave before riding away.
Lin Jingmo slowly opened the curtain of the carriage and watched Shen Yifeng riding away. Then he ordered the driver to stop the carriage, and then waited at the palace gate. It was not until Chen Mian was coming out of the palace gate that Lin Jingmo got off the carriage.
.
"My little girl pays homage to Master Zhongshu Ling."
Lin Jingmo walked near Chen Mianzheng, then bowed and saluted.
Chen Mianzheng was a little surprised to see that it was actually Lin Jingmo, but he quickly changed his smile and said, "Excuse me, you and Minran grew up together, and now you are the wife of a minister, so you don't need to give such a big gift."<
/p>
Lin Jingmo smiled lightly and replied: "Yes, I used to call you Uncle Chen when I was little. Unfortunately, at that time, I was not familiar with sister Minran. The one who studied piano, chess, calligraphy and painting with her was my daughter's sister.
, Her Royal Highness the Queen."
Chen Mianzheng looked at Lin Jingmo with a half-smile on his face. He didn't know why she came here today. If it was for the morning meeting, her husband would have no way to prove that he was related to the Nanling incident.
She is just a little girl, so what is there to be afraid of? What’s more, he has already let her go, so what is she trying to do by sending her to her door?
Lin Jingmo seemed to see Chen Mianzheng's doubts, so he answered without asking: "This time, I made a special trip to see Zhongshu Ling because I have a secret thing to tell Mr. Zhongshu Ling."
