Everyone looked for the sound, and saw Shang Shixu, who was wearing a thin body and a pale face, riding a horse. He used all his strength to get off the horse and walked towards Lin Jingmo. The heavy rain fell on him, and there were marks on his chest.
The blood dyed the robe red.
Chen Mianzheng saw clearly that the person coming was Shang Shixu, so he shouted to him: "Shang Shixu, are you crazy? What are you doing here?"
Although Shang Shixu was seriously injured, he still shouted with all his strength: "I'm coming... to pick up my wife!"
"Madam?" Chen Mianzheng did not expect that the person who stabbed him in the end would be Shang Shixu, who had obeyed his words. He frowned as he looked at Shang Shixu dragging his broken body towards Lin Jingmo step by step.
Said: "She is Lin Yuanzhi's daughter. Lin Yuanzhi forced the palace to rebel. Are you sure you still want to recognize this wife?"
Shang Shixu braved the heavy rain and walked step by step to Lin Jingmo's side. The broken hair on his face was mixed with moisture, and there was still no emotion on his pale and bloodless face. He pushed away the menacing Qin who was holding a knife.
Feng knelt down and hugged Lin Jingmo. Qin Feng on the side looked at Chen Mianzheng at a loss.
Seeing that Chen Mian was about to get angry, he hit Shang Shixu hard with the back of his knife. Shang Shixu was hit hard in the back, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, but even if it hurt again, he did not move Lin Jingmo in his arms.
Leave it behind.
Chen Mianzheng looked at the scene in front of him angrily, rolled his eyes at Shang Shixu, and shouted: "Shang Shixu, are you going to disobey me?"
Shang Shixu turned around and said slowly: "Master Zhongshu Ling, Lin Jingmo is my wife. She married into my Shang family three years ago. As long as I don't divorce her, she is my Shang family. How can I marry her?"
Are the remaining members of the Lin family involved?"
"There's no need to make any more excuses." Chen Mianzheng looked at him and said, "Do you know what the consequences will be if you do this?"
Shang Shixu's eyes turned cold and he replied: "The consequences... I only know that if I don't save my wife today, I will suffer for the rest of my life!" He raised his head, looked at Chen Mianzheng and said sternly: "Zhongshu Ling"
Sir, if you want to kill me, it will be easy, but your great cause has not been accomplished. If you just try to scare the enemy and fail, who should you talk to?"
"Are you blackmailing me?" Chen Mian said in a low voice while suppressing his anger.
Shang Shixu lowered his head, as if he was enduring severe pain every second, and whispered: "Shang Shixu doesn't dare. The fortune and life of Shang's family have been pledged to Lord Zhongshu Ling. Zhongshu Ling controls my life and death, but
I believe that Shang’s utilization value is definitely enough to save Lin Jingmo’s life!”
"Hahaha..." Chen Mianzheng said with a smile: "To cut the grass, you have to get rid of the roots. What if I don't want to?"
Shang Shixu raised his eyelids, looked at his smile coldly, and said, "Zhongshu Ling doesn't know that I have an account book, right?"
"You..." Chen Mianzheng stopped laughing, and the flesh on his face trembled a few times.
Shang Shixu continued: "Do you want me to recite the contents of the first two pages here?"
Chen Mianzheng closed his burning eyes tightly and spat out four words: "Let them go!"
Shang Shixu held Lin Jingmo's hand tightly. He lifted Lin Jingmo upwards with all his strength, and several servants of the Lin family followed him and left the palace gate.
Walking outside the palace gate, Shang Shixu said to the servants of the Lin family: "You guys, hurry back to the Lin Mansion, send your family members away, and go their separate ways."
A servant asked: "What should I do about the girl?"
Shang Shixu replied: "She is my wife and my life, so I will naturally protect her."
The man nodded and said, "I'll leave that girl to my uncle. Let's go back to the Lin Mansion first."
As soon as they left, a carriage came from the end of the street. The carriage stopped beside Shang Shixu, and the curtain was lifted, revealing Han Zilan's face: "Cousin, you are still seriously injured, so you'd better get on the carriage quickly." p>
She lowered her head and glanced at Lin Jingmo in Shang Shixu's arms, then jumped out of the carriage, helped Shang Shixu put Lin Jingmo into the carriage first, and walked back towards Shang Mansion.
On the way, Shang Shixu held Lin Jingmo in his arms, completely ignoring his injuries.
Han Zilan looked at the blood seeping out of Shang Shixu's chest, her face was filled with distress but she didn't say a word.
The carriage stopped at the door of Shang Mansion. Shang Shixu picked up Lin Jingmo and walked into the mansion. Han Zilan hurriedly held up an umbrella and escorted them into the house.
As soon as he entered the room, Shang Shixu called Qiaoxiang, the maid who had served Lin Jingmo, to quickly heat up hot water and call for a doctor. He wiped Lin Jingmo's face with a dry towel.
After a while Qiaoxiang replied that the water was hot.
Han Zilan in the room looked at the anxious Shang Shixu and said proactively: "My cousin's injury hasn't healed yet, and now he's been caught in the rain. It's better to change into clean clothes first, and I'll take a shower and change my cousin's clothes." p>
"No need." Shang Shixu reached out and opened the closet, took out a pair of Lin Jingmo's clean middle coat, picked up Lin Jingmo and walked to the bathroom in the side room, but because the injury he received earlier had not healed yet,
, I had already lost too much blood, and I had just been caught in the rain. I was a little exhausted and almost dropped Lin Jingmo.
He stabilized his body and said to Qiao Xiang on the side: "You and I will help my wife."
Han Zilan quickly ran to his side and held Lin Jingmo's arm.
Shang Shixu nodded to her gratefully.
Several people helped Lin Jingmo take a hot bath, change into clean middle clothes, and carry him back to the back room of the main courtyard to sleep.
Shang Shixu took a dry hand towel and sat by the bed to wipe her hair. Seeing this, Han Zilan also took a hand towel and wiped the water from Shang Shixu's hair.
Only then did Shang Shixu remember that he had also been caught in the rain.
Han Zilan said in a low voice: "Cousin, it's better to go change and dry clothes, otherwise it will be bad for my cousin after it's cool. I'll take care of you here."
"I'll leave this to you first. I'll be back soon." Shang Shixu nodded and headed towards the side courtyard.
Seeing that Shang Shixu had left, Han Zilan glanced at Qiaoxiang who was still wiping Lin Jingmo's hair and said, "Go and make some ginger tea. It will be delicious when she wakes up soon."
Qiaoxiang stood up hesitantly, holding a handkerchief in her hand and looking at Lin Jingmo on the bed at a loss.
Han Zilan quickly walked to the bed, snatched the handkerchief from her hand, threw it into the basin and said, "What are you afraid of? Is it possible that I will take advantage of your absence to finally rescue my cousin?"
Do you want to kill someone? I am not your wife, she is a famous evil woman, and I am not!"
Qiaoxiang leaned forward and replied: "Yes, cousin." After that, she also left the room.
Soon, Lin Jingmo groaned and slowly opened his eyes.
She slowly turned her head and looked around, and then she realized that she had arrived at the Shang Mansion. What just happened seemed like a dream.
She braced herself and forced herself to sit up. She was startled when she saw Han Zilan sitting beside the bed.
