Mother Li wiped Lin Jingmo's body with a soaked handkerchief and said: "My uncle's cousin, the girl named Zilan, moved into the backyard to take care of the old lady. She is a cousin, and we are not servants.
What can I say?"
Speaking of Han Zilan, Li’s mother was still a little angry.
Lin Jingmo curled her lips and said: "It's okay to move in, but it's not good for a girl to stay in Ruixiang House."
"But in the eyes of the villain, she has plans for our uncle!" Mother Li said, reaching for a dry towel to dry Lin Jingmo's body, and then put her into a clean undergarment.
Lin Jingmo let her mother dress her without saying a word.
"Speaking of which, Shuangyin's little hooves took the second girl to the North without saying a word. When Master Shangshu learned about this, he was so anxious that he sent people to the North to inquire, but no news was ever sent back. Fortunately,
The girl is back intact. Our eldest daughter is about to give birth. No one dares to send news to the palace for fear of affecting her." Mother Li secretly glanced at Lin Jingmo's face and continued: "Fortunately, the girl is not pregnant.
However, I took this opportunity to achieve positive results with my uncle, so I don’t need to punish her anymore.”
"Huh?" Lin Jingmo curled up the corner of his mouth and turned to look at Mother Li who was wiping her hair and said, "Just now, Mother Li said she would beat her and kick her out! Are you not punishing her now?"
"Alas..." Mother Li sighed and said: "More than ten years ago, I was greatly favored by Shangshu and stayed in Shangshu's mansion. Later, I returned to my hometown to find relatives. When I came back to Beijing a few years ago, I was so excited when I saw this girl.
She is extremely kind. It’s a pity that she has been following Mother Cao. Mother Cao has a bad temper and is not kind to her. This girl is also worried, so I always pity her."
Hearing this, Lin Jingmo reached out and patted Mother Li comfortingly, and said, "Don't worry, Mother Li, my going to the north has nothing to do with Shuangyin, she just went to take care of me."
The two of them were supporting each other and sitting in front of the dressing table. Lin Jingmo looked in the mirror and saw the bundle she had brought to the north on the table. She suddenly remembered the two pages of paper that Uncle Sun gave her, so she said to Mother Li: "
Mother Li, fetch the baggage for me. There are very important things in it that need to be handed over to my husband."
It turned out that on the way back, she had already thought clearly that husband and wife should not hide anything. She would give the two pages to Shang Shixu tonight. If there was anything, the two of them could discuss and decide. If they couldn't solve it, they would hand it over to Shang Shixu.
It’s not too late for father.
Mother Li took the bundle and opened it. Lin Jingmo rummaged through it but couldn't find the page: "Why is it missing?"
Seeing this, Mother Li asked: "Is it something important?"
Lin Jingmo nodded and continued to search through the layers of clothes, but still couldn't find it.
Seeing that she was a little panicked, Mother Li quickly comforted her and said, "Don't worry, girl. Has anyone else touched the things in this bag besides you?"
Lin Jingmo sat down and thought for a while, then suddenly remembered and said: "Double Yin! Shuang Yin has always carried the burden."
"Shuangyin? I saw that she was a little tired, so I asked her to rest first. I will call her over now!" Mother Li walked to the door as she spoke and shouted to the girl working outside: "Go and call Shuangyin."
The sound comes in."
When Shuangyin heard that it was Li's mother who asked her to go, she quickly got up and went to Lin Jingmo's bedroom in the main courtyard.
As soon as Lin Jingmo saw her, he asked: "Shuangyin, I put the two pages of paper that Uncle Sun gave us in my bag, have you seen it?"
Shuangyin hurriedly replied: "I don't know Shuangyin, why can't I find the paper?"
Lin Jingmo looked at Mother Li anxiously, and Mother Li walked up to Shuangyin and said, "How did you know that I couldn't find it? Did you take it away?"
Shuangyin hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Duanyin can't read and doesn't know what's written on it. He wants to steal something valuable. How could he steal two pieces of paper? It's just that my wife asked me if I saw it. I
I guessed that I couldn’t find it, so I replied like that.”
Lin Jingmo sighed helplessly. It was such an important thing, but it disappeared. She looked at Shuangyin who was kneeling on the ground, waved her hands and said, "You are tired after running around for so many days. Get up."
Go ahead and rest."
Shuangyin quickly stood up and left.
"Shuangyin grew up in Shangshu Mansion. He would never steal things, but when it comes to throwing things..." Mother Li felt something was wrong and said to Lin Jingmo: "Second Miss, ex
A few days ago, the villain was packing things for the girl, but he found an empty box. Apparently, there used to be a hairpin in it. When you were stabbed on the head, girl, the villain couldn't figure out what the murderer was using.
What stabbed you? Now it seems that the servants were unstable, stole something, and then stabbed you with a hairpin?"
Lin Jingmo continued to look for things while listening. When she heard what Mother Li said, she suddenly stopped looking for things. She turned to look at Mother Li and said, "What does Mother Li mean?"
Mother Li stood up and opened the drawer on the dresser, took out the empty box she was talking about and replied: "I want to search people's houses, if I can find the empty box that was originally placed in this box."
If you use the hairpin, you may be able to find the murderer who stabbed you that day!"
While he was talking, the door creaked, and Shang Shixu opened the door and walked in expressionlessly.
"My uncle is back. Let me prepare hot water for my uncle to take a bath first!" Seeing Shang Shixue come back, Mother Li put the empty box back into the drawer of the dressing table.
Her movements were extremely fast, but they were still noticed by Shang Shixu. He did not speak, but nodded silently, and then sat down at the table as if he was thoughtful.
When Lin Jingmo saw this, he thought it was something that happened to him in the Yamen, so he hurried to his side and poured tea for him: "What's wrong, husband?"
Shang Shixu raised his eyes coldly, reached out and pulled Lin Jingmo into his arms. Lin Jingmo had just taken a bath, and the fragrance all over his body made him feel relaxed and happy. He buried his face in Lin Jingmo's long hair,
He gently kissed her white neck.
Lin Jingmo pushed him away and said softly: "My husband is tired from traveling and traveling, so go take a bath first and relax your body."
Shang Shixu looked at her with confused eyes and said, "What were you telling Mother Li just now?"
Lin Jingmo slightly raised his lips and smiled sweetly: "What can I say? Mother Li told me that I just lost a hairpin!"
Shang Shixu's eyes gradually deepened, his face became gloomy, and his lips slowly opened and he squeezed out one word: "Hairpin?"
Seeing him like this, Lin Jingmo was a little puzzled. She stretched out her hand to smooth his slightly frowned brow and said, "Husband, what's wrong with you?"
Shang Shixu did not answer, and stretched out his arms to hug Lin Jingmo tightly. He had just heard Mother Li say that the person holding the hairpin was her murderer, and the hairpin was now in the secret room of his study! He was her murderer. He couldn't imagine what would happen if Lin Jingmo knew the truth one day.
He suddenly opened his eyes and looked around. It was in this room that day that he stabbed the gold hairpin into Lin Jingmo's head! How could he deserve to live in this room now?
Thinking of this, he let go of Lin Jingmo, stood up and walked out of the main courtyard quickly.
