Lin Jingmo has been depressed for several days since she came back from her night outing.
/p>
Seeing that she couldn't sleep for days and nights, tossing and turning, Li's mother was very worried. She guessed that the girl and her uncle had a dispute and conflict that day.
So one day, Mrs. Li suddenly mentioned going to the street to buy some jewelry and clothes.
Lin Jingmo was in a daze, and she didn't know if she heard what Mother Li was saying. She just nodded and let Mother Li change her clothes, and then followed Mother Li to get on the carriage and go shopping on the street.
Lin Jingmo didn't say anything since she got on the carriage. She just lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking. Mother Li looked at her with worried eyes: "Girl, what are you thinking about?"
Lin Jingmo blinked his eyes when he heard this and said casually: "Nothing."
Li's mother raised her hand and waved it in front of her eyes. Seeing that Lin Jingmo's eyes didn't even move, she asked in surprise: "Could it be that he encountered something unclean when he went out that night and became possessed by it?"
Lin Jingmo suddenly raised his head and looked at her blankly: "Mother Li..."
Mother Li couldn't help but feel a little scared when she looked at her: "Girl..."
"I'm just a little tired, but I'm not blind. Why are you waving your hand in front of my eyes?" Lin Jingmo opened the curtain on the carriage and looked outside. He couldn't help but think of the scene when he met Shang Shixu on the street that day.
She sighed and lowered the curtain again.
Mother Li looked at her weak look and asked with concern: "The girl has been unhappy these past few days, and I can feel it."
Lin Jingmo raised his eyes and looked at Mother Li. In order not to worry her, he forced a smile.
Mother Li frowned, brushed the broken hair on Lin Jingmo's face and said, "Look, our girl used to have two crescents in her eyes when she smiled, but now, how can she still look happy like before?
I’m afraid I don’t have to go to the temple to ask for incense sticks!”
When Lin Jingmo heard this, she accidentally remembered what Shang Shixu said that day. She was suddenly stunned, the carriage stopped, and the driver outside said: "Madam, Jinxiu Pavilion has arrived."
Mother Li got out of the car first, and then helped Lin Jingmo down. Lin Jingmo looked at the plaque of Jinxiu Pavilion and thought: Even if he buys more and more gorgeous new clothes, he will not look at me again. Even if he wears
No matter how glamorous I am, it can't hide my once dirty and dirty heart.
She shook her head and said to Li's mother: "Mom, I don't want to buy new clothes today."
But Mother Li held her hand and said, "It would be nice to buy some pieces of good quality fabric! Your Highness the Queen is about to give birth, and the girl is going to be an aunt! Don't you prepare some new clothes for Your Highness?"
Lin Jingmo felt that what Mrs. Li said made sense, so she nodded and got out of the carriage.
As soon as he entered the door of Jinxiu Pavilion, the boss greeted him with a smile: "Oh, Mrs. Shang, you are finally here. There are many fine brocades coming back from the shop. They are all of the highest quality. You are the only one worthy of it."
Makes it happen!"
Lin Jingmo looked at the boss's smiling face and understood that she must have been a regular customer here in the past. She nodded to the boss.
The boss took out a fine brocade from a nearby container and showed it to her. She looked at the smooth brocade, with dense stitching and vivid patterns. It was indeed a good material. She couldn't help but think of what Shang Shixu said, and couldn't help but sigh that she was indeed extravagant. p>
She stretched out her hand and touched the brocade and became lost in thought until the boss asked: "Mrs. Shang, what do you think of this material?"
Lin Jingmo nodded when he heard this: "The material is very good, but I want to buy more."
When the boss heard this, his eyes shone brightly: "The villain still has it in the back room."
Lin Jingmo said to Mother Li behind him: "Mother Li, follow the boss to the back hall to pick out some horses."
Mother Li nodded and followed the boss to the back hall, leaving only Lin Jingmo and a shopkeeper waiting in the shop.
The waiter saw that Lin Jingmo was absent-minded, so he said: "Madam, I will go and make you a pot of tea."
Lin Jingmo nodded.
At this time, a child walked in from outside the door. He walked to Lin Jingmo and said, "Sister, I can't find my mother. Can you take me home?"
Lin Jingmo knelt down and looked at the child's eyes. She turned her head and looked around, then remembered that Li's mother had gone to the back hall to get the cloth, so she said: "Good boy, my mother and I will go there later."
Let’s take you home together.”
Unexpectedly, the child wiped away tears and cried: "I'm so scared, please, sister, take me home!"
Lin Jingmo hurriedly coaxed him and said: "Okay, okay, I'll give it to you. Where is your home?
The child immediately stopped crying, pointed to the alley not far away and said: "It's right there, soon!"
Lin Jingmo frowned and looked outside, feeling a little confused: Since it's not far, why doesn't he go back by himself?
Then I thought again: No, I am evil, so I think the whole world is miserable? Look, he is just a four or five-year-old child, what is he lying to you about?
So he took the child's hand and walked towards the alley and said: "Then sister will take you home now."
They walked into the alley, but the child said that his house was the one at the end of the alley.
Lin Jingmo had no choice but to pull him and continue walking in. Unexpectedly, when she reached the end of the alley, several masked men came out of the secret door. They held knives in their hands and sprinkled some powder on Lin Jingmo. She then
Fainted.
When she woke up again, she no longer knew where she was. When she opened her eyes, she saw a handsome man with dark skin, tattered clothes, and a long scar on his face. He was holding a
With a sharp knife, he gave Lin Jingmo a big smile.
Lin Jingmo was startled, and instinctively sat up and shrank back.
The man opened his mouth and asked: "Is she the wife of Shang Shixu, the minister of household affairs?"
Lin Jingmo looked at him in horror and didn't reply. Then he looked under him and suddenly saw a bed of tiger skin. He was so frightened that he rolled under the couch.
The man frowned, picked his ears casually, and said, "I'm asking you, are you Shang Shixu's bitch?"
Lin Jingmo huddled up and hid under the couch: Are you... looking for revenge on your husband again? This time is different from the last time. The last time they were a group of farmers, although they were crude and clumsy, they were not as ferocious as this man.<
/p>
Seeing that she didn't reply, the man impatiently grabbed Lin Jingmo's ankle with one hand and dragged her out. Then he asked with a fierce look: "I ask you if you are the Mrs. Shangfu who lives on the front street! Are you deaf?
?"
Suddenly another person came out from behind him and said: "Boss, I am a delicate lady, why are you so cruel to our guests?"
He squatted on the ground and said with a silly smile on his face: "Mrs. Shang, we have done everything you asked us to do, so it's time to settle the payment, right?"
Lin Jingmo heard this and said tentatively: "You want silver!"
The man smiled and said: "Yes!"
Lin Jingmo asked again: "How much?"
The man held out three fingers, still smiling: "Thirty taels!"
