Shang Shixu held Lin Jingmo's hand tightly and left the palace. As soon as he left the palace gate, Lin Jingmo saw the carriage of Shang Mansion parked at the entrance of the palace.
Did he expect that we would come out of the west gate?
Lin Jingmo looked up at Shang Shixu: What exactly has he done for me?
Shang Shixu saw her doubts, stretched out his hand and said: "Madam, please get in the car quickly. We have to go to Zhao Prison to bring back Mr. Lin's body. If anything happens, we'll talk about it on the way."
Lin Jingmo seemed to have a changed view on Shang Shixu at this moment. At least, she believed that Shang Shixu would not hand her over to Chen Mianzheng and Zhang Yiqian, and now it seemed that he would help bring her father's body back together.
Lin Jingmo put his hand on Shang Shixu's arm and got into the carriage.
In the car, Lin Jingmo kept her eyes on Shang Shixu. She lowered her head and said nothing, but she could feel that Shang Shixu was always staring at her.
After a long time, perhaps because he felt uncomfortable being stared at, Lin Jingmo finally raised his head and met Shang Shixu's gaze, and said angrily: "Why do you keep staring at me?"
Shang Shixu smiled slightly and said: "I have never seen Madam dressed up like this, so..."
"Shut up!" Lin Jingmo hugged her chest and then remembered that she was wearing a slightly revealing dance outfit to enter the palace!
Shang Shixu shut his mouth obediently, while Lin Jingmo was still a little embarrassed and at a loss.
Shang Shixu raised his hand to block his smiling eyes, and then said: "Did Shen Yifeng ask you to wear these clothes?"
Lin Jingmo did not answer.
However, Shang Shixu handed her a baggage and said, "Here is a plain suit. You can put it on first when I get off the car. After all, I am going to take Master Lin's body back home. It does look a bit weird for you to be dressed like this."
Inappropriate."
Lin Jingmo looked at the baggage in his hand and looked at Shang Shixu with great gratitude. Seeing that Shang Shixu was also looking at her, he lowered his head in embarrassment: He even thought about clothes...
The carriage drove for a while and then suddenly stopped.
"Madam, change your clothes first. I've prepared a coffin here. It's the best material for longevity. I'll go down and check it out first." After that, Shang Shixu opened the curtain and got out of the carriage.
Then he removed the curtains around the carriage to cover Lin Jingmo who was changing clothes.
He also prepared longevity materials? Did he already think that His Majesty would ask us to pick up dad?
Or...is it entirely because of him that His Majesty is willing to let us pick up dad?
"That's all, let's change clothes first." Lin Jingmo opened the bag and replaced his dance clothes with the plain clothes inside. Then he opened the curtain and looked outside. Sure enough, there were already several big men carrying coffins in plain clothes standing there.
Not far away, Shang Shixu, who was guarding her under the carriage, had also changed into linen clothes at some point.
"Is Madam okay?" Shang Shixu asked.
Lin Jingmo nodded and stretched out his hand towards Shang Shixu: "Get in the car."
Shang Shixu looked at Lin Jingmo's hand reaching out to him. He was surprised and happy, and he quickly grabbed him and got into the carriage.
The road was slightly bumpy, and Lin Jingmo accidentally fell into a corner of the carriage. Upon seeing this, Shang Shixu hurriedly helped her up, then opened the curtain and shouted to the coachman outside: "Be careful!"
Putting down the curtain and looking at Lin Jingmo, he couldn't help but say: "Madam, do you want to lean on me?"
Hearing this, Lin Jingmo looked at Shang Shixu in surprise, shook his head and asked, "When did your husband enter the palace?"
When Shang Shixu heard Lin Jingmo call him husband again, he secretly replied with joy: "One hour before the woman."
"An hour..." Lin Jingmo lowered his head, thought for a moment and said, "Have you been in His Majesty's palace for so long?"
Shang Shixu didn't answer immediately. He understood that Lin Jingmo wanted to ask him why he could prepare everything in advance.
So he said: "I know that Madam will definitely go to the palace after getting the token. When you left Shang Mansion early in the morning, someone wanted me to inform you of your departure. I had no choice but to come to the palace before Madam. But... these things are not
It was a spur-of-the-moment idea, but in the past few days, I had been planning to get the body of my father-in-law back, and I had been thinking about how to clear his grievances, and how to stop his wife from putting herself in danger. After all, both Zhongshu Ling and Zhang Shangshu
I want to arrest you. I don’t want you to enter the palace in person, so I wrote a memorial to His Majesty for you in advance, asking him to let us bury my father-in-law with a generous burial."
It turns out that he has been thinking about himself...
Suddenly feeling something was wrong, Lin Jingmo shook his head and said, "But aren't you and Zhong Shuling together? Don't you want to work with him to prove my father's crime?"
Shang Shixu looked at Lin Jingmo helplessly and said nothing for a long time.
"Why...don't speak?" Lin Jingmo asked timidly.
"Madam, do you still think that I am in the same group with them?" Shang Shixu sighed and said: "That's right, everything written in that account book is true, but if I really committed so much money with them,
How could I kill you for a thousand taels of gold?"
Hearing that Shang Shixu brought up old matters again, Lin Jingmo turned around in displeasure and said angrily: "You are still justified in killing me?"
Shang Shixu looked at the living Lin Jingmo in front of him, and stretched out his arms to hug her very domineeringly. For some reason, Lin Jingmo did not resist, but just let him hug her tightly again and again.
Shang Shixu said: "Fortunately, my wife is still alive!"
Lin Jingmo frowned. Although she had not forgiven Shang Shixu, she had doubts in her heart at this moment: Is he also feeling lucky that I am still alive?
Lin Jingmo asked: "Since you are not on the same side as them, why do you want Chen Mianzheng to be your adoptive father? Why do you help them do these evil things?"
Shang Shixu replied softly: "I don't know either..."
Listening to Shang Shixu's answer above his head, Lin Jingmo couldn't help but look up at him and asked: "You don't know?"
Shang Shixu gently let go of Lin Jingmo and replied: "I have lost all my relatives since I was a child. I only have one mother by my side. Ever since I was sensible, I have been hunted by my enemies and almost died countless times. My mother also
So I suffered a lot and became insane trying to save me in a fire."
Listening to Shang Shixu's words, Lin Jingmo realized that it was no wonder that Mrs. Shang had so many scars on her body. Over the years, she had always been clamoring to set fire...
Realizing that Shang's mother was very important to Shang's timing, Lin Jingmo quickly explained: "The person who beat my mother-in-law before was really not me, but..."
Shang Shixu interrupted her and said: "I know, I have thought about it since you carefully helped her take care of the backyard. Madam has a kind heart, how can she let someone beat her mother? Madam, there is no need to explain, I believe you." Lin Jingmo breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and felt a little relieved in his heart. He didn't expect that Shang Shixu understood her difficulties even if he didn't explain it, so he continued to ask: "What happened next?"
