Shang Shixu lowered his eyelids, with endless melancholy in his brows, and said: "Later we were found by our uncle, who was very kind to us. My mother and I were living outside, and our psychology was constantly distorted due to the painful experience. It was his sincere and selfless love that saved us.
It was he who taught me how to read and write. He took us into hiding. We originally thought that we could live a peaceful life from now on, but an accident happened and we were discovered by our enemies. In order to hide my whereabouts, my uncle was killed by his enemies.
Killed..."
After saying that, Shang Shixu held his head with both hands and said painfully: "He was tortured by his enemies and tortured to death... The only light that appeared in my life was crushed and turned into darkness again..."<
/p>
Having said that, Shang Shixu didn't want to continue recalling it. He seemed to be trapped in a black quagmire, unable to struggle and could only let himself sink.
Lin Jingmo looked at the sad Shang Shixu. Perhaps because Shang Shixu had helped her too much today, she felt a little distressed and moved over to hug him, reaching out and patting his back gently.
Lin Jingmo seems to always be the carrier for him to see the light again in the darkness. He has been burdened with hatred and responsibility all his life. The person who can let him offload the burden is Lin Jingmo. Her sincere protection also saves Shang.
The heart that keeps falling in time again and again.
He reached out and hugged Lin Jingmo.
Lin Jingmo asked in his ear: "So...Is Zi Lan my uncle's daughter?"
"Yeah." Shang Shixu nodded lightly.
Lin Jingmo couldn't help but think about the incident when she pushed him down the dry well this morning. It turned out that Han Zilan was his uncle's daughter. No wonder he cared so much about Zilan. He originally wanted to mention this matter, but he didn't want to embarrass himself about the timing. Lin Jingmo secretly
Suppress the matter and stop talking about it.
Suddenly, Shang Shixu said with regret in Lin Jingmo's ear: "Madam... I'm sorry."
Lin Jingmo replied slowly: "I'm sorry...what?"
Shang Shixu vowed: "I'm sorry for the harm I have done to you. As long as you are willing to give me a chance, I will love you and protect you even more, and I will never let you suffer even the slightest injustice!"
Lin Jingmo let go of Shang Shixu, distanced himself and said: "I have not forgiven you, not just because you once wanted to kill me, but how do you explain the account book? Also, who is your enemy? You
What to do?"
Shang Shixu hesitated to speak, so he had to hold Lin Jingmo's hand and said: "Now is not the time. In the future, when I have solved everything, I will definitely tell you everything!"
Lin Jingmo withdrew his hand and frowned slightly as he said, "Your suffering as a child has nothing to do with those innocent people and soldiers. I can understand if you are trying to please Chen Mianzheng out of revenge, but you have written several times to increase taxes.
How many innocent people died in vain because of this?"
"Madam, I..." Shang Shixu was about to argue when the carriage stopped.
The driver outside said outside the curtain: "Sir, Madam, Zhao Prison has arrived."
Hearing this, Lin Jingmo hurriedly got out of the car and saw that someone had already moved Lin Yuanzhi's body out.
Shang Shixu said behind Lin Jingmo: "It seems that the news from Zhongshu Ling arrived earlier than us."
The two retrieved Lin Yuanzhi's body. Considering that the body had been stored for many days, Shang Shixu was afraid of scaring Lin Jingmo, so he took care of everything from retrieving the body to placing it in the coffin, and finally buried Lin Yuanzhi in the place he had chosen in advance.
In the cemetery.
Lin Jingmo cried in front of Lin Yuanzhi's grave for a long time and refused to leave. It was not until dark that the group set off back to Shang Mansion.
The two of them were silent along the way, Lin Jingmo was immersed in pain, and Shang Shixu looked at Lin Jingmo silently, not wanting to disturb her.
Lin Jingmo returned to the Shang Mansion, and Shang Shixu took her back to the side courtyard. Instead of going directly to the bedroom, she went to the side hall of the side yard. Lin Jingmo entered the side hall, and she discovered that this place had been changed by Shang Shixu.
The mourning halls where the memorial tablets are stored include Lin Yuanzhi’s and Mother Li’s.
Lin Jingmo looked at their memorial tablets and cried uncontrollably: "Father, Mother Li..."
Shang Shixu stepped forward and comforted him: "Her Highness the Queen's spiritual place cannot be set up privately, so she has not put it in for the time being. Mother Li has no children. You were not at the house when she left a few days ago, so I took the initiative to cremate her."
She was buried. Since she was like mother and daughter with you during her lifetime, I also placed her spiritual place here, and you can come and chat with her from time to time."
Lin Jingmo touched the memorial tablet of Mother Li and said: "Mother Li is not childless. She has a daughter. I lost my memory before so I don't remember it. In fact, Mother Li has been looking for her daughter. It's a pity that she doesn't have her daughter yet."
Mother and daughter were killed by Shuangyin when they were reunited. I must find Shuangyin and avenge Mother Li!"
Shang Shixu said: "It's strange to say that a girl has disappeared without a trace. I have inquired in many ways, but there is still no news about her."
Lin Jingmo offered incense to Li's mother and Lin Yuanzhi, and said: "No matter how far apart the world is, I will definitely find her!" After that, she said to Shang Shixu: "Thank you for taking back my father's body for me and letting me
My father retained his dignity after death, and thank you for setting up a spiritual place for them."
"Between you and me, why should we say thank you?" Shang Shixu walked to Lin Jingmo's side, lit a stick of incense, inserted it into the incense burner, and said to Lin Yuanzhi's memorial tablet: "My father-in-law, Shang Shixu will definitely take good care of him.
Madam, your teachings and timing will never be forgotten throughout my life, and I will certainly not let you down."
……
Shang Shixu prepared all brand-new food and clothing expenses for Lin Jingmo. In order to prevent her from recalling the unhappy things in the past, in addition to clothes and jewelry, even the previous furniture was replaced with new ones. In the past few days, she
Having been living in the side courtyard, it was also convenient for her to go to the side hall to watch her father's funeral and fast.
Shang Shixu lived in the side hall on the other side of the side courtyard. On the one hand, he wanted to be closer to Lin Jingmo, and on the other hand, because Han Zilan lived in the side hall of the main courtyard. Due to legal reasons, the cousins lived in the same side hall.
There is something wrong in the yard too.
Han Zilan, who moved to the main courtyard, would often walk to the door of the house where Lin Jingmo lived before. It was the room of the mistress of the Shang Mansion. Every time she saw the lock on it, she was filled with satisfaction but unwillingness. In her opinion,
It seems that everything that should belong to her has been taken away by Lin Jingmo.
She was originally the daughter of a high-ranking official and lived in a spacious courtyard, but now she is a dancer who has to dance around all kinds of men, and she even lost her virginity to a dirty man with white hair!
Every time she thought of this, she wanted to kill Lin Jingmo. Why, why did she have to take away her cousin? It's a pity that Lin Jingmo was lucky enough to fall into a well.
Just because he was afraid that Shang Shixu would find out about his previous recommendation of Lin Jingmo, he didn't bother Lin Jingmo for several days.
