Hearing this, Lin Jingmo quickly stretched out her arms to block the front of the carriage: "No!" She turned to look at Shang Shixu: "If it weren't for Xiao Huzi, we wouldn't be able to escape from the village today."
Shang Shixu had a cold face, and his falcon-like black eyes swept over Chen Tiehu and landed on Lin Jingmo: "He is the gangster who kidnapped you and me that day. Can't Madam recognize him?"
"Yes, he was the gangster that day, but he was not the gangster who stabbed you!" Lin Jingmo turned to look at Chen Tiehu, motioning for him to leave quickly, and then said to Shang Shixu: "My father is responsible for hearing the case.
He is only fourteen years old. He may have been instigated by others, but he was not the mastermind. He was released from Zhao Prison after finding out that he was indeed the son of a tenant in Nanling! Why do you want to arrest him now?"
"What's going on?" Han Zilan on the side said softly: "Huh, Lin Jingmo, you really don't know what's going on, right? You bribed the bandits to kill me! Are you trying to obstruct me now because you are afraid that we will catch you?
When it comes to this witness, you won’t be able to defend yourself when it comes to the government, right?”
Go to the government?
Lin Jingmo turned to stare at Shang Shixu: Will he bring this matter to the government?
Shang Shixu lowered his eyelids: This person is related to the Nanling incident, how can I let him go!
He raised his hand and signaled: "Catch him!"
But Lin Jingmo jumped on the carriage and continued to stop him: "Yes! It was I, Lin Jingmo, who paid for the murder! I bribed the leader of Tulong Village and spent thirty taels of silver to cut off Han Zilan's ears! I am willing to surrender to the government.
Surrender yourself and ask to be imprisoned!" The subject changed and he looked at Shang Shixu firmly: "My conduct is not good and my moral conduct is lacking. Naturally, it will disgrace my father's reputation and bring shame to Shang Shilang. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to serve in court again in the future.
If you raise your head, how will your Excellency handle yourself at that time?"
Han Zilan looked at Lin Jingmo in disbelief, her eyes full of ferocity: "You actually used your cousin's official voice to threaten him!" After saying that, she raised her neck proudly: "You don't follow the rules of a woman, I'll divorce you.
That’s it! By then you will be just an abandoned wife of the Shang family, what do you have to do with my cousin?”
The moment he heard that he was about to be abandoned, Lin Jingmo turned around and looked at Shang Shixu blankly.
There was no hesitation in his tall and straight body, and there was still no wave in his bottomless eyes.
When Mother Li heard this, she could no longer hold her breath. She pointed at Han Zilan and spat: "Where did you get your hooves from? How dare you point fingers at the girls of our Lin family?"
Han Zilan said: "My name is Han Zilan, and I am the cousin of your Lord Minister's childhood sweetheart."
"Bah!" Mother Li continued: "Our girl is the wife of a merchant, so why is it your turn to be bullied by a cousin of the Han family? You, a girl who has not yet left the government, how dare you divorce and abandon her!" p>
But Shang Shixu spoke at this moment. He opened his thin lips and said lightly: "Let him go."
After that, he turned around and returned to the Shang Mansion. The guards followed the order and returned to the manor.
Han Zilan could only hum, flutter her sleeves and go to catch up on the timing.
Lin Jingmo saw that everyone had gone back to the house, so he jumped off the carriage and told Chen Tiehu to go to the mountain and make a few more turns before returning to the cottage, in case anyone followed him and found the cottage.
Chen Tiehu obeyed the order and left. Lin Jingmo took Li's mother back to Shang Mansion. To her surprise, Shang Shixu did not wait for her, and went back to the side courtyard without even saying a word to her. As for how Han Zilan would settle down,
I didn’t discuss it with her.
……
At night, Lin Jingmo tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep. Mother Li, who was accompanying her on the couch beside her, noticed something was wrong. She half got up and leaned on the couch and asked softly: "Girl, did something on the bed hit you?" p>
When Lin Jingmo heard Mother Li's voice, she sat up and said, "No, the bed is very comfortable."
Mother Li asked again: "Then why are you tossing and turning and still not asleep?"
"I was thinking..." Lin Jingmo opened the quilt, put away the tents on both sides and hung them on the hooks beside the bed, sat cross-legged on the bed and continued: "In the past, what kind of person was I?
?"
After hearing this, Mother Li also sat up, thought for a moment and said: "The girl was very good before she was ten years old. Our Lin family's upbringing will not produce bad children. Your Highness the Queen is an example!"
Lin Jingmo put his elbows on his legs and raised his chin with his hands: "What about after ten years old?"
"After the age of ten... I left the Lin Mansion for a few years and went out to look for someone." Mother Li recalled for a while and replied: "It's strange to say that when the villain comes back to the capital a few years later, what will happen to the second girl in the capital?"
The rumors started getting weirder and weirder, until you married your uncle at the age of sixteen, there were always rumors that you were a wicked woman."
Lin Jingmo rolled his dark eyes, turned his head and asked again: "What did they say?"
"Well..." Mother Li replied: "Some people say that you have bad conduct, are extremely vicious in heart, are extremely ruthless in your methods, are extremely harsh in your words, and are ruthless in your actions."
"Wow..." Listening to these few words, Lin Jingmo felt that his life must have been wonderful just by thinking about it.
Mother Li looked at Lin Jingmo who had been thinking for a long time on the bed and asked: "Why did the girl remember to ask about the past?"
Lin Jingmo breathed a long sigh of relief, lay down again, stared at the tent above his head and replied: "I really want to regain my memory... When I woke up, I was in a coffin, it was pitch black, and I was almost buried in the soil!
I met a cold and handsome husband who immediately called me "Madam". I also had a father who was a minister, and a sister who was a queen. I wasn't happy for a while until I realized that except for my father, sister and you, Mother Li, everyone seemed to hate me.
Including my husband Shang Shixu! He put some inexplicable charges on me! He said I was vicious, domineering, mean, and cruel! But I don’t even remember it. When I woke up, I didn’t know
What evil will happen to me!"
Mother Li consoled her: "Girl, you have a good destiny, that's why you survived the catastrophe. You can survive such a deep wound. If you are a wicked person, God will not allow it!"
Lin Jingmo sat up again after hearing this: "Why don't I just be my old self again?"
"The original girl?" Mother Li was confused and confused: "Isn't the girl always herself?"
Lin Jingmo ran out of bed excitedly, sat next to Li's mother and said: "From tomorrow on, I will be the Lin Jingmo I used to be. I don't want to consider other people's feelings. How about being a little bit vicious, a little mean, a little cruel?"
?"
Mother Li couldn't believe her ears and repeated Lin Jingmo's words doubtfully: "Be more vicious? Be mean? Be cruel?"
"That's right!" Lin Jingmo happily patted Li's mother on the shoulder and said: "Since they said that all those evil things were done by me, they would just take it as they did today, and then everything would be passed on to Lin Jingmo.
If you do what Jingmo likes, you can still restore your memory!"
