The next day, Lin Yuanzhi got up early and went to the morning court. Lin Jingmo also set off back to Shang Mansion. The carriage driver saw someone kneeling at the door of Shang Mansion from a distance. He said to Lin Jingmo inside: "Madam,
Someone is kneeling at the door of our house."
When Lin Jingmo heard this, he raised his hand to open the curtain of the carriage and looked out. Sure enough, there was a woman kneeling in front of the Shang Mansion.
Mother Li on the side stood up, walked to the door, opened the carriage door curtain, looked at the woman, turned back and said doubtfully: "I don't know what happened."
As the carriage got closer and closer to the woman, Mother Li suddenly remembered something from her profile and exclaimed: "It's a double tone!"
"Double tone..." Lin Jingmo felt that the name was both strange and familiar at the same time. She had heard of this girl from others more than once. She was the personal maid she had grown up with. Later, she made some mistakes and was actually raped.
I was driven out to be rationed to a butcher as my wife... What's the reason now? I actually went to the door of the Shang Mansion and knelt down...
The carriage stopped at the door of the Shang Mansion. Lin Jingmo got out of the carriage and slowly saw the woman's face, with a porcelain oval face and charming eyes.
When she saw that the person getting out of the car was Lin Jingmo, she hurriedly knelt and took a few steps forward, hugged Lin Jingmo's ankles, raised her eyes, and shed two lines of tears: "Madam, madam, please save this little man.
."
Lin Jingmo subconsciously dodged, but she still held her ankle. She turned her head to observe her carefully and said, "Are you... double tone?"
Shuangyin cried and nodded: "Madam, for the sake of the villain and the lady growing up together, please save the villain!"
Lin Jingmo turned to look at Mother Li. Mother Li hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Shuangyin's hand and said, "Just tell me what you have to say. What are you doing with all this fussing in public?"
Seeing her let go of her feet, Lin Jingmo said as she walked toward the house, "If anything happens, go into the house and talk about it in detail."
But Shuangyin said reluctantly: "At first, the villain just said a few words to the adults, and the relationship with the adults was indeed innocent. Madam did not believe it no matter what, and kicked the villain out of the house to be married to a butcher. But then
The butcher beats me up every once in a while, and I really can’t bear it. Please let me go back to my house to serve you. I’m willing to be a cow or a horse!”
After saying that, he began to kowtow vigorously on the steps.
Mother Li looked at the people coming and going and couldn't help but scolded: "I've said it all, let's go back to the house and tell it in detail, in front of a large audience, what do you mean by shouting like this!"
Lin Jingmo stopped, looked at the strange looks coming from the street, then looked down at Shuangyin who was still kowtowing, walked closer to Shuangyin and said, "You mean I kicked you out because I suspected
Are you having an affair with the Lord Chamberlain?"
Mother Li quickly stopped Lin Jingmo: "Girl, if you have anything to say, go back to the house and ask again. There are so many people coming and going here watching. If word spreads, it will be bad for my wife's reputation!"
Lin Jingmo was then helped into the Shang Mansion by Mother Li, and Shuangyin was also dragged in by the arms of two young boys.
Lin Jingmo looked at the unfamiliar girl in front of her. Her forehead was bleeding from just kowtowing to the ground. She took out a handkerchief and handed it to Shuangyin and said, "Wipe the blood first."
Shuangyin shook his head timidly.
Lin Jingmo pointed to the scar on his head and said: "I... injured my head a while ago and lost all my memory, but I often hear people talking about you..."
Double tone replied: "The villain and his wife are the best friends, they grew up together since childhood."
Lin Jingmo picked up the tea bowl full of worries and couldn't help but ask: "In that case, you should know..."
Shuangyin raised his eyelids slightly and said: "The villain knows everything about Madam's past..."
Lin Jingmo put down the tea bowl after hearing this, stood up and helped Shuangyin: "Am I really as evil a woman as the rumors say?"
Shuangyin stared at Lin Jingmo's eyes and nodded slowly: "It's...the rumors outside...nine times out of ten are true..." After that, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing two full-length
Show the scarred arm to Lin Jingmo.
Lin Jingmo looked at Shuangyin's scars in surprise and turned around in disappointment: "I'm sorry..."
When Shuangyin heard Lin Jingmo apologize to her, she lowered her eyes and replied calmly: "The villain is just a lowly servant. It is common for the master to take out the villain when he is unhappy."
Lin Jingmo continued to ask: "What about my relationship with my husband?"
Shuangyin looked at Lin Jingmo's trembling back and said word by word: "Madam... loves you very much, but you... don't care about madam. Rather than saying that you and madam are husband and wife, it's better to say that you just live in a house.
Neighbors who occasionally exchange greetings with each other, but Sir and Madam, when they meet, they don’t even say hello.”
Hearing this, Lin Jingmo collapsed and held the corner of the table: "That's enough, there's no need to say any more."
Lin Jingmo calmed down and said: "Since you don't want to marry a butcher, then you should stay in the house and serve me as before."
……
For two days in a row, Lin Jingmo was always absent-minded. On the one hand, he was worried about Shang Shixu's safety in the north. On the other hand, he knew that she had indeed been a bad woman that everyone wanted to beat, and he also knew that Shang Shixu would not like her.
The reason is that I feel very depressed.
Shuangyin pushed open the door, looked at the sleepy Lin Jingmo and said, "Madam, are you thinking about me?"
Lin Jingmo put his hands on the table, supported his head, and turned around: "How do you know?"
"Have you forgotten, Madam?" Shuangyin smiled and put the newly brewed scented tea on the table, and replied: "I have been serving Madam for how many years. How can I not know what Madam is thinking?" Lin Jingmo nodded and continued in two tones: "Madam also looked like this when she missed you, but there were differences!"
"What's the difference?" Lin Jingmo blinked and asked curiously.
Shuangyin poured the scented tea into a porcelain bowl, handed it to Lin Jingmo and said: "Madam used to be decisive in killing. If she misses you, she will definitely look at him wherever he may appear."
Lin Jingmo curled his lips when he heard this and said: "This time is different, it's not just missing you."
Duanyin asked: "What's the difference? Why don't you tell me and listen to the villain?"
Lin Jingmo turned his head and said with some worry: "Because I have offended a high official in the court, I am afraid that my husband will be implicated in this. The person who went to the north with him is the student of that high official, so I am worried day and night."<
/p>
Shuangyin immediately replied: "Do you know that you are in danger?"
Lin Jingmo nodded and shook his head, handed the tea bowl to Shuangyin and said, "Even Miss Zilan knows, he should know too."
"Zilan?!" With a snap, the tea bowl that had just been finished in Shuangyin's hand fell to the ground.
Lin Jingmo looked at her with some confusion: "Douyin, what's wrong with you?"
Shuangyin hurriedly squatted down to pick up the porcelain pieces on the ground and replied: "It's nothing. I injured my hand a few days ago, so I accidentally broke the porcelain bowl. Please punish me, madam."
Lin Jingmo hurriedly helped her stand up: "What's here? Just clean it up. You can go to Mother Li later to get some silver and grab some medicine to cure the wound."
Shuangyin raised his eyes slightly, stared into Lin Jingmo's eyes and said: "If it were the former wife, she would definitely go to the north to find my uncle to resolve the crisis!"
Lin Jingmo heard this and said thoughtfully: "Go... to the north?"
