Lin Jingmo has been waiting for news since she went to Zhongshu Ling's Mansion. She knew that as long as there was evidence to prove that Chen Minran was killed by Qi Xuanyi, she could instigate a relationship between the two. However, there was no news from Chenzhou.
News, on the contrary, I waited until Han Zilan came back.
Lin Jingmo was a little surprised when Han Zilan returned to Shang Mansion. After all, she heard from Shang Shixu that Han Zilan went to Zhang Yiqian's place.
When Lin Jingmo saw Han Zilan coming back, he wanted her to settle down in the Shang Mansion. After all, what kind of person is Zhang Yiqian? Han Zilan is also Shang Shixu's cousin, so naturally she shouldn't fall into Zhang Yiqian's hands. It's a pity that
Shang Shixu went to the Hubu Yamen and was not in the mansion.
So Lin Jingmo came to Han Zilan's room and saw her packing her things, so she asked: "Miss Zilan...where are you going?"
When Han Zilan saw that it was Lin Jingmo, she naturally said without a good face: "Mrs. Shang, do you have any advice? I'm just staying in your house temporarily. Since you and your wife don't welcome me, I'll just leave."
Lin Jingmo also said angrily: "Where Miss Zilan wants to go, it is naturally your decision. However, your cousin has not returned home yet, so if you leave like this, I'm afraid he will be worried when he comes back..."
"Worry...why would he worry about me?" Han Zilan said: "I am just his cousin. He has never really cared about me, so how can he worry about me?"
Although Lin Jingmo knew that Han Zilan was pitiful, she was pitiful because of her own sins. She could clearly stay in the Shang Mansion, but she had to rely on her good looks to go to Ruixiang Tower to make a living. When she went to Ruixiang Tower, it was clear that Shang Shixun
I have tried my best to protect her, but she insists on getting involved with Zhang Yiqian.
Seeing that Han Zilan was about to leave, Lin Jingmo quickly grabbed her and said, "I don't want to pretend to be kind and keep you. If you want to leave, naturally it won't be my turn to stay. But I just want to ask you, Chen Tielong... who are they?"
Weren't you the one who killed me?"
Han Zilan didn't expect that Lin Jingmo actually cared so much about Chen Tielong's life and death, so she raised her eyebrows and sneered: "How could I kill them? I'm just a weak woman with no power, you killed them all."
!"
"Me?" Lin Jingmo looked at Han Zilan in surprise and said, "How can I say this?"
Han Zilan knew everything, and continued with a contemptuous smile: "If they hadn't rescued the injured cousin and you, how could they have offended Zhong Shuling and Zhang Shangshu? Lin Jingmo, I am your fake
Your kindness killed them! It was you who had to take the risk of offending Zhang Shangshu to testify against his son, which made my cousin offend him. I can only sacrifice myself to help my cousin. I can still stay clean as before.
By my cousin's side, I am no longer able to stay in the Shang Mansion. I just want you to tell my cousin that I have been living in Yu Gizhi's eldest brother's house before, and I have not resigned myself to living in Zhang Yiqian's house. I have planned to
I will never appear in front of you again from now on."
Lin Jingmo froze on the spot and was deep in thought, unable to recover for a long time. Maybe he was wrong from the beginning, because his so-called kindness actually killed so many people... Maybe Han Zilan was not as bad as she thought.
Damn, the person who killed Chen Tielong and the others was actually Zhang Yiqian and himself!
Lin Jingmo locked himself in the room after Han Zilan left. He didn't eat or go out until Shang Shixu came back. He heard that his wife was waiting in the room without eating or drinking, so he ran to Lin Jingmo's room anxiously.
Past.
Seeing that there was no light in the house, Shang Shixu reached out and knocked on the door, but no one responded.
Shang Shixu opened the door and saw Lin Jingmo sitting by the bed. He quickly walked to Lin Jingmo, hugged her and asked, "What happened?"
Lin Jingmo came to his senses, turned around, hugged Shang Shixu and said, "Zi Lan took her luggage and left. She said that she had been living in Master Yu Gizhi's house."
Shang Shixu frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "Since we are there, there is no danger, and we don't have to worry about her anymore."
Lin Jingmo continued: "I asked Zi Lan, and she personally told me why Chen Tielong and the others died."
Shang Shixu didn't speak, but hugged Lin Jingmo's slightly trembling body tightly.
Lin Jingmo continued: "She said... I was the one who killed them..."
Shang Shixu lowered his eyes, looked at Lin Jingmo, and said to her gently: "How could it be you?"
Lin Jingmo leaned in Shang Shixu's arms and said in despair: "Every word Han Zilan said made my heart hurt like a needle prick... Husband, why did things become like this? I only know what I want to say.
The truth I saw turned out to be that I was wrong from beginning to end. I had no ability to protect the people I cared about. I just thought of making the world peaceful with my lonesome courage. It was really childish of me. Although I don’t regret it.
I regret the things I did that involved innocent people. I will never make such a mistake again in the future. I will bear everything alone!"
Hearing this, Shang Shixu felt mixed emotions in his heart. On the one hand, he wanted to protect Lin Jingmo, but on the other hand, he didn't want Lin Jingmo to continue to think like this and even push himself out of her heart.
He let go of the hand that was tightly holding Lin Jingmo, looked at Lin Jingmo from a distance, and said: "Madam, in the past, I always wanted Madam to understand my feelings, but Madam never seemed to take me to heart.
."
He took Lin Jingmo's hand and put it to his mouth, kissed it, then took her hand and placed it on his heart: "Madam, do you still remember the scar I have here?"
Lin Jingmo gently touched the scar on his heart, and couldn't help but recall the times when she hurt Shang Shixu in the past. At that time, she wanted to kill herself because of Shang Shixu, and wanted to take revenge on him more than once, but she failed again and again.
Be merciful and let him get hurt again and again.
Lin Jingmo looked at Shang Shixu and said, "Will the wound... still hurt?"
Shang Shixu held Lin Jingmo's hand and said: "Every time, as long as Madam doesn't believe me, the wound will hurt. More than once, I just hope that Madam can open her heart to me and regard me as someone to rely on. From now on,
You don’t have to suffer alone anymore.”
"Madam..." Shang Shixu looked at Lin Jingmo affectionately and said: "From now on, let me face it with you. No matter the outcome is good or bad, it will be regarded as my atonement. When I think that I have hurt you,
I almost lost the person I love most forever, and I am in great pain. Don’t, don’t make me regret it anymore, promise me, no matter what happens, you must tell me, trust me, and rely on me!”
