Chapter 10
Mother Li looked at the anxious Lin Jingmo, quickly took out her handkerchief, wiped her face carefully, and said, "Princess...Prince...wasn't our eldest a princess before?"

But Lin Jingmo asked in pursuit: "So she recognized me as my sister...Mother Li, tell me why I beat her twenty sticks?"

But Li's mother hesitated and said with embarrassment: "Second girl, there is always a reason for you to do things. Now, you and my uncle are in love with each other, so why bother to delve into this matter?"

But Lin Jingmo continued to ask: "Didn't you see how he drove me out just now? Let alone beating his own mother-in-law, even if it is a mother who beats an ordinary waiter, twenty sticks sounds scary to an old man! Is this plausible? I actually hit my own mother-in-law twenty sticks?!"

Mother Li excused Lin Jingmo: "That's all in the past, you've forgotten, second girl, besides, there was a lot of rumors outside, and Master Shangshu has already punished you, why are you going to pursue these old things now? ?”

"What? Many people outside know about this? Father also knows?" Lin Jingmo couldn't believe his ears, and thought that he was an evil woman who abused her mother-in-law?

"It doesn't matter. People outside have heard a lot of gossip about you. There are things more serious than this. Girl, you don't have to take it to heart."

Lin Jingmo couldn't help supporting his forehead, and sighed: "Is there anything more serious than this?"

Mama Li slapped herself a few times, and had to answer honestly: "The second girl is a well-known villain in Beijing...but she hit her mother-in-law a few times, people in Beijing will not be surprised..."

When Lin Jingmo heard the words, he was astonished and speechless like a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

... She ... Lin Jingmo ... is a villain in Beijing!Is this plausible?
Seeing her solemn expression, Mama Li hurriedly said, "These are just old things. Now that you forget about it, just pretend it never happened."

Lin Jingmo said in a dead voice: "Even if it's an old thing, yes, I forget it now, but my mother-in-law hasn't forgotten it. She lived in that broken yard, she was in a mess, and she looked scared when she saw me... and , Shang Shixu didn't forget, the look in his eyes...how can I pretend nothing happened!"

Lin Jingmo put his arms around Mama Li's shoulders and begged, "Mama Li, please tell me the reason for this."

Mother Li couldn't resist her, so she told the whole thing: "I was still living in the Lin Mansion at the time, but I heard someone tell me that you despise my uncle's low status, and there is a crazy old lady. Find a reason, say that she stole your things, and let the former maid double-tone tape guard beat her twenty sticks, small punishments and big punishments..."

Listening to Li's mother talking about these things, Lin Jingmo's head almost burst... Is this... plausible? !

Seeing Lin Jingmo's ugly face, Li's mother changed the subject, and said: "But the villain thinks that there must be something strange about this matter. The second girl was raised by the villain since she was a child. Although she can be spoiled sometimes, she will never Mother Li believes in you if you do something like abuse and beat the elders."

Seeing that Lin Jingmo did not reply, Mother Li hurriedly asked, "Girl? Girl?"

Lin Jingmo didn't say much, just dragged his body and walked to the main courtyard in a daze.

She couldn't believe that she would look down on her husband, feel that his status was inferior, despise his biological mother, and even find a reason to beat his mother...Is this plausible?Even a random person cannot be insulted like this!What's more, she's still... She's still Shang Shixu's mother!Just yesterday, Shang Shixu jumped into the water to save her regardless of life or death!

Back in the main courtyard, Lin Jingmo walked into the bedroom and sat down on the bed. Mother Li was startled and frightened, so she hurriedly poured hot tea and handed it to her. Lin Jingmo was unmoved, and asked again: " What happened afterwards? What happened after I beat... my mother-in-law?"

Mother Li put the tea bowl aside, took Lin Jingmo's hand and whirled slowly, trying to get her back to her senses, and said: "Our Lord Shangshu heard this, and hurriedly called the imperial doctor to treat the old lady, and let her People beat the girl twenty sticks, but the uncle interceded for the girl, and only beat ten sticks. The Shang Shu felt that the godmother was useless, so he ordered someone to beat himself ten sticks, and punished the girl to copy female virtues a hundred times. That's all. .”

After hearing this, Lin Jingmo pouted, hugged Mama Li and cried: "How can this happen? Even if I listen to it now, I feel guilty to death. She must have been in pain at the time. She was unconscious. It's already very pitiful, how can I go about wronging her and let someone beat her twenty sticks?!"

Mother Li hurriedly hugged her, patted her on the back, and comforted her: "It's over, it's all over, my good girl, we just don't beat her in the future!"

Lin Jingmo felt very reasonable when she heard the words, she straightened up and said: "Not only will I not hit her again in the future, but I will also take good care of her, so as to make up for the wrong things I did to her!"

Mother Li continued to take out her handkerchief to wipe her tears: "Okay, good food and drink for her from now on! Let's treat her well! Mother Li also treats her well, and atones for our girl!"

Lin Jingmo nodded, hugged Mama Li and continued to cry.

It was night, Lin Jingmo did not go back to the side courtyard to live with Shang Shixu, but lived in the main courtyard where she used to live. She couldn't sleep, so she got up and opened the window, looked out, and recalled that she once felt poor Aifu actually feels ashamed and ashamed because he is unwilling to let people beat a poor old woman. He really doesn't understand what kind of person he was before?Is it really as rumored, vicious, mean, and even disrespectful?
Thinking of this, I can't help asking myself: Why does my husband like me when I am like this?Even though I have done so many wrong things, is he still willing to sacrifice himself to save me?
She looked out of the window, and saw a crescent moon hanging across the sky, like a knife cutting Lin Jingmo's heart...

Suddenly she thought of something again, took out a needle and thread from the cabinet and began to sew...

At this moment, Shang Shixu didn't sleep either. He received a secret letter from King Zhao, and learned that the Northern Territory was defeated again. The Minister of the Ministry can suggest that His Majesty increase taxes so that King Zhao can benefit from it.

Shang Shixu burned the secret letter, and the blazing fire reflected on his indifferent face and became ruthless. He sat next to the case and opened the memorial to be presented to the emperor tomorrow, but he still refused to start writing.

Years of war disasters could have ended in one battle, but they have been delayed again and again, taxes have been increased, and people have been displaced and miserable. Is it really right to do so?
Thinking of this, he took up a pen and wrote: The Minister of the Household Yamen Shang Shishu, I would like to report that the shortage of food and grass in the war in the northern border should be done according to the rules, and I would like to report it carefully.If the war is unfavorable, the country will be unfavorable, and the cause should be carefully investigated before dealing with it.After the reason is over, I will wait for the edict.

After finishing writing, he sealed the memorial, and when he took the stamped letter from the drawer, he saw an exquisite gourd porcelain vase. He took out the porcelain vase, held it in his hand and played with it, remembering that Lin Jingmo had been spared by a moment of kindness yesterday, and was very annoyed at himself.

He couldn't help asking himself: Why did Lin Jingmo feel a sense of compassion when Lin Jingmo stretched out his hand to push him? Why did he save her when he should have killed her?Have you forgotten Lin Jingmo's past evil deeds?Don't you forget the way she threatened me that night when she revealed the account book?

Thinking of this, he looked at the memorial again: Since he has decided to be a villain, why is he unwilling to do evil things thoroughly?
He couldn't help but clenched the porcelain bottle tightly: the most poisonous poison in this bottle was arsenic.

This is the poison his mother once wanted to take with him to escape after death.It's a pity that they didn't die. They persisted until today, still living in this world in pain.

Thinking of this, Shang Shixu narrowed his eyes and looked at the porcelain bottle, and said, "Then use it on Lin Jingmo!"
