Shang Shixu put his clothes back on and said, "I'm sorry, Madam. If Madam wants my life, I will give it to you today or tomorrow. Because I really love you."
"Adore me?" Lin Jingmo looked at Shang Shixu in front of him. He was no different from Shang Shixu three years ago. Back then, he could give all his money to the homeless people on the road when he was hungry and cold. Now,
Will he really become a heinous person?
Lin Jingmo was still reminiscing about the past, but Shang Shixu took out the purse Lin Jingmo gave him. It was the first time Lin Jingmo embroidered a purse, and he even pricked ten of his fingers while embroidering the purse.
.
Shang Shixu picked up his purse and slowly pulled out a red thread.
Lin Jingmo was shocked: "This is..."
Shang Shixu replied: "This is the red thread you asked for at the Weaver Girl Hall during the Qiao Qiao Festival."
Lin Jingmo couldn't believe it: "But didn't you throw it into the river?"
Shang Shixu said softly: "How can I give up?"
Lin Jingmo looked into Shang Shixu's eyes and couldn't help but fall into his tenderness. She once wished she could stay by his side and just be his wife, but why did she do it again and again today?
Are you going to kill him or hurt him?
Can you trust him again?
Lin Jingmo's heart was a little shaken. In just a moment, reason defeated her emotions. All the important people around her died. Now she seemed to have become a person who should not be happy or fall in love. Even if
She can forgive Shang Shixu, but the wrong things he has done should be judged by the people of Nanling and the soldiers of the northern border. Her father has served the country and the people all his life, and she should also be able to distinguish right from wrong, instead of being addicted to love and unable to extricate herself.
She lowered her head and stopped looking at him, saying, "I'm very tired and want to rest. I want to have a good sleep alone."
Seeing that Lin Jingmo's tone softened and he was willing to stay in Shang Mansion, Shang Shixu hurriedly retreated out of the house and said, "Okay, madam, rest first. I'll come back tomorrow."
Don’t forget to close the door when you leave.
Watching Shang Shixu leave, Lin Jingmo lay on the bed again. She touched the token in her arms and planned in her mind how to escape from the Shang Mansion.
I fell asleep after thinking about it.
……
The next morning, Lin Jingmo opened her eyes as though she was dreaming. She saw Qiaoxiang tidying up the wardrobe, so she slowly got up and asked, "Qiaoxiang, what are you doing so early?"
"It's late, madam." Qiaoxiang smiled and walked to the bedside, showed the clothes in her hands to Lin Jingmo, and said, "My lord, please bring these newly made clothes and newly bought jewelry to madam.
After that, I lived with my wife in the side courtyard and served her around."
Lin Jingmo frowned and looked at the new clothes and new jewelry displayed in the room, and suddenly realized that they were all plain and elegant, without any trace of happiness.
Seeing Lin Jingmo's doubts, Qiao Xiang said, "We adults are very attentive and know that Madam is very filial, so we specially selected some plain clothes for Madam. Madam must not be angry."
Hearing this, Lin Jingmo turned to look at Qiaoxiang and said, "I'm not angry. Where are you, sir?"
"It's okay if you don't get angry. Your Excellency went to the Hubu Yamen, but..." Qiao Xiang said with some embarrassment: "My Excellency said that Madam had better not go out. If anything happens, we will discuss everything after he comes back." p>
"He's not in the house..." Lin Jingmo thought for a moment and said to Qiaoxiang: "Qiaoxiang, if I insist on going out, madam, do you dare to stop me?"
Qiaoxiang replied: "I don't dare."
"That's good!" Lin Jingmo quickly got out of bed, put on his shoes, and opened the door.
As expected, there were two guards at the door. They did not stop Lin Jingmo, but shouted: "Madam is coming out."
When Lin Jingmo saw that they didn't stop him, he thought that since they all shouted "Come out", he might as well go out from the front door openly.
So he swaggered towards the door.
But every time they passed a door, two guards shouted: "Madam is coming out!"
When she reached the gate, she found that the gate had been locked, and the guard at the gate didn't forget to shout: "Madam is coming out."
Lin Jingmo pulled the lock twice, but no one stopped her, but the door lock was firm and did not change at all, so she angrily said to the two guards: "Where is the key?"
The boy at the door said: "The key is not with the little people. The key was taken away by the adults. When the adults come back, they will naturally bring the keys back."
Lin Jingmo walked to the house angrily after hearing this.
The guards on both sides saw Lin Jingmo walking back, so they shouted again: "Madam is back!"
Lin Jingmo was startled by the shouts of the two people, so he turned around and said, "Don't shout, shut up."
Unexpectedly, just after passing the long corridor and arriving at the gate of the side courtyard, another guard shouted: "Madam is back!"
So Lin Jingmo had no choice but to return to the side courtyard and closed the door tightly as soon as he entered the room.
What she didn't know was that Shen Yifeng was waiting at the door of the Shang Mansion at this moment. He clearly heard someone inside shouting that the madam had come out and that the madam had returned. He had already confirmed that Lin Jingmo had returned to the Shang Mansion.
It turned out that early this morning because he was worried about Lin Jingmo, Shen Yifeng went to Zhulin Villa early to find Lin Jingmo. He did not expect that Lin Jingmo disappeared without saying a word. He suddenly remembered that he mentioned Shang Shixun Order yesterday.
Regarding the cards, Shen Yifeng guessed that Lin Jingmo must have returned to Shang Mansion again, so he rushed to the door of Shang Mansion, and sure enough, he heard someone calling Madam in the courtyard.
He planned to leave, but he was worried about Lin Jingmo's safety, so he turned back and knocked on the door of Shang Mansion.
I only heard someone inside answer: "Who's knocking on the door?"
Outside, Shen Yifeng said: "The Marquis of Wuling, Shen Yifeng, came to see the Minister of Shang Shixu."
The people inside continued: "See the Marquis, return to the Marquis. We, sir, have gone to the Hubu Yamen. If you have anything to do, please ask the Marquis to go to the Yamen to find you."
When Shen Yifeng saw this, he said: "Your Shang Mansion is so arrogant that even the guard guarding the door dares to reply to the Marquis through the door? I'm afraid your bones are not hard, and you want me to loosen your muscles and bones for you!"
The people inside said hurriedly: "I don't dare, I just told you to lock the door when you leave, and you will not give us the key to open the door until he returns to the house. The small door is really difficult and cannot be opened for the Marquis." ."
Shen Yifeng said angrily: "What a shame, you actually locked the door!"
"Young Master Xiaohou is here, the Shang Mansion is really in full glory!"
When Shen Yifeng heard this, he looked back and saw that it was Shang Shixu who had returned.
Shang Shixu bowed to Shen Yifeng and asked, "The young Marquis has always been busy, hanging around the tile fence of the tile house. How come you have time to come to the humble house today?"
Shen Yifeng shook off the folding fan and said with a smile: "Yes, I always like to hang out among the rouges. I just heard that Miss Zilan from Ruixiang Tower is in your house, so I came here to ask to see her."
