Lin Jingmo did not answer when he heard this, but just lowered his head silently.
Shang Shixu filled the wine glass and continued: "When does Madam plan to leave?"
Lin Jingmo raised his head in surprise and looked at Shang Shixu.
However, Shang Shixu drank all the wine in the glass and said calmly: "What Madam has decided will never change. No matter how worried I am, you will not listen to me. If I force you to stay,
, maybe you will stay for me, but...if you block Madam because of me, I'm afraid I will never feel at ease in my life."
"So...are you willing to let me go?"
Lin Jingmo looked at Shang Shixu, and for a moment she didn't know whether to be happy or grateful. For her, Shang Shixu was the only person she could trust in the world and the only one she cared about. If he stopped her, Lin Jingmo would definitely not do it.
Ignoring his opinion, but now that he no longer stops her, it makes Lin Jingmo a little uncomfortable. Lin Jingmo feels a little sorry for Shang Shixu. Because of Lin Jingmo, Shang Shixu has lost trust in front of Chen Mianzheng. Now Lin Jingmo feels a little sorry for Shang Shixu.
Once Jingmo leaves, how should he deal with himself?
"I don't want to be a burden to my wife. Whatever she wants, I will try my best to satisfy her. Not only am I worried about my wife's safety, but I am also worried that she won't be able to do what she wants to do because of me."
Lin Jingmo was very moved by Shang Shixu's words. She did not expect that the person who was most likely to stop her at first was actually the person who supported her the most.
She stood up and hugged Shang Shixu's neck and said: "This time I plan to go to the north, not only because I want to find evidence there, but there is also another reason."
Shang Shixu hugged Lin Jingmo and asked, "What's the reason?"
Lin Jingmo said in a different way: "The northern border is the northern gateway to our Southern Qi. Because it is close to Beiyan, it has been disturbed by wars all year round. Although I am a female generation, my father has taught us since we were young that the gain and loss of a person and a family is not important to the country.
The security of the country is at stake. I think that if my father were still alive, he would not sit idly by. I have been to the North before, and our Lin family and Lu family are family friends. I am worried that Shen Yifeng alone may not be able to withstand a hundred thousand Lu family troops.
If he goes, there may be someone to take care of him."
Shang Shixu smiled helplessly: "How can things on the battlefield be so simple?"
Lin Jingmo stood up angrily, returned to his seat, and said unhappily: "Then I dare to ask my husband, is there any good way to solve the crisis in the north?"
Shang Shixu replied: "It's not difficult. Just let me go with you!"
"Go together?" Lin Jingmo said in surprise: "Husband, you..."
"Fool!" Shang Shixu stroked Lin Jingmo's hair dotingly and said, "How could I let you go to a place like the North alone? I will always be by your side to protect you, and I must not let you.
You are in danger."
Lin Jingmo said: "But... you are the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue after all, how can you leave Beijing so easily."
Shang Shixu stood up and said: "Yes, the Minister of Hubu cannot leave the capital easily, so...the husband is no longer the Minister of Hubu."
Lin Jingmo looked up at Shang Shixu, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Shang Shixu continued: "Today I heard Shen Yifeng's request to go to the north to defeat the enemy, and I thought that this matter must be related to you. I can't watch you leave my sight, even with Shen Yifeng. After much thought, I decided to go to the North with Mr. Shen. On the one hand, I can help your Majesty to protect my homeland. On the other hand, I definitely want to be with my wife. Therefore, I also recommend myself to Your Majesty to go to the North. , His Majesty agreed, so he named me General Zhongwu and assisted Marquis Wuling in defeating Beiyan."
Lin Jingmo was surprised and happy when she heard this. It was a good thing to go to the north with Shang Shixu, and she could take care of everything on the way, but she also knew what Shang Shixu had given up for her. Shang Shixu had a rough childhood, even if He has never mentioned his life experience, but for a person who has lost all his relatives since he was a child, and even the most important people around him are covered in bruises, you know that he is also burdened with hatred that is difficult to resolve.
In the past, for the sake of fame, fortune and status, he not only married the infamous Lin Jingmo, but he also did not hesitate to recognize Chen Mianzheng as his adoptive father, and was poked in the spine and insulted. Now he finally got his current position, becoming the head of the household department. But he was willing to give up for Lin Jingmo. Thinking about what Shang Shixu just said, he never persuaded Lin Jingmo to give up hatred. He was even willing to give up his life as long as Lin Jingmo could feel relieved, but he did it for Lin Jingmo again and again. Mo gave up the opportunity to please Chen Mianzheng.
Thinking about it from another angle, it may be more difficult to protect His Majesty than to fight for the throne for King Zhao, but he chose a path that made him in a dilemma, and all of this was for Lin Jingmo...
At this moment, Lin Jingmo finally couldn't help but ask: "Husband...who are you?"
Shang Shixu didn't expect Lin Jingmo to ask this question. Lin Jingmo would never ask too much if he didn't want to talk, so they always maintained such a tacit understanding.
But Lin Jingmo broke the balance of the past today. She wanted to understand Shang Shixu, and also wanted to know what kind of story was behind Shang Shixu, who he was, and who his enemy was.
Shang Shixu looked at Lin Jingmo's firm eyes. He wanted to hide it but didn't know how to refuse. His identity was a taboo topic. It wasn't that he didn't trust her, but that he didn't want to hurt her. In Shang Shixu's view, this matter... The less you know, the better.
Lin Jingmo saw that Shang Shixu had not spoken yet, but there was a conflict in his eyes. He could not bear to hide it anymore, but he also did not want Lin Jingmo to be involved in this matter.
When Lin Jingmo saw this, she threw herself into his arms and said with guilt: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Shang Shixu was relieved the moment Lin Jingmo threw himself into his arms. He smiled and said, "Madam is salvation and a gift to me. If you love me, never say sorry to me."
Lin Jingmo looked up. At this moment, she could only see Shang Shixu. At this time, when she was helpless and didn't know how to move on, only Shang Shixu was always supporting her and helping her. He
To say that Lin Jingmo is his salvation is a gift, but Shang Shixue is not the only support for Lin Jingmo.
Since the death of Lin Yuanzhi and Lin Kongqing, Lin Jingmo has always thought that he should die with them. However, at this moment, Lin Jingmo felt for the first time that it might be better to live.
She wants to live and be with Shang Shixu all the time. By his side, life seems to still be meaningful.
