Chapter 109
The next day, the two of them got into the carriage and left the cottage with Chen Tiehu and his party. On the bumpy mountain road, they cuddled up to each other.

After descending the mountain, the two entered the city together, crossed several streets, and returned to the gate of the Shang mansion. The young man at the gate saw that Shang Shixu and Lin Jingmo had returned, so he yelled in and went outside to the carriage. Help Shang Shixu down.

Han Zilan inside heard that Shang Shixu had returned, so she hurriedly ran from the side room of the main courtyard to the door. Seeing Shang Shixu get off the carriage, she immediately held Lin Jingmo's hand, and frowned instantly, displeased. Look at their tightly clenched hands.

Shang Shixu and Lin Jingmo entered the gate, and immediately saw Han Zilan waiting at the gate, and they stopped.

Han Zilan asked: "Cousin, there has been no news for a few days, and the imperial court sent people to search everywhere for you, but they couldn't find you. Zilan was frightened."

Shang Shixu smiled lightly, but replied, "It's nothing."

After saying that, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in the wound, and frowned lightly. Seeing his painful look, Han Zilan hurried forward to help him, "Cousin... How are you?"

Looking at his pale face and the smell of herbs on his body, he said, "Are you injured?"

Shang Shixu pulled out the arm she was holding, and said, "It's okay, how is my mother these days?"

Han Zilan didn't answer, she lowered her head in frustration, and suddenly looked at Lin Jingmo viciously, Lin Jingmo didn't have the slightest intention of backing down when she met her eyes, after all, she wasn't the Lin Jingmo who lost her memory before, let alone Han Zilan pushed She went to the dry well, new and old hatred, she is not afraid of Han Zilan!

Seeing that Lin Jingmo's eyes were also fierce, Han Zilan retreated after some contesting. Instead, she retreated a few steps and leaned next to Shang Shixu and said, "My cousin is injured, so I won't send anyone away." A message? It really scared Zilan."

Chen Tiehu on the side said: "Why hasn't anyone come here? We have sent someone to the Shangfu to communicate!"

"It's you?" Seeing that it was Chen Tiehu, Han Zilan retreated behind Shang Shixu and said, "Cousin, he's with bandits."

Shang Shixu said, "Nonsense, if it wasn't for the help of the Chen brothers this time, I would have died long ago!"

Han Zilan asked suspiciously, "They saved you?"

Shang Shixu nodded helplessly.

Lin Jingmo looked at Han Zilan and felt that it was really boring, so he said to Qiaoxiang who came out to greet him: "Arrange food and drinks for Xiao Huzi and the brothers, and after eating, arrange a room for them to live in!"

Qiaoxiang replied: "Yes."

Han Zilan was a little displeased and said: "Wait a minute, what is my sister-in-law's place here? This is the House of the Minister of the Household Department. They are all thieves, how can they come in?"

"What are you talking about!" Chen Tiehu said angrily: "We are all heroes and righteous men, and we have never hurt the poor people. We just earn some money and occasionally rob some ill-gotten gains! How can you slander us like this!"

Han Zilan snorted coldly, and said, "Hmph, why did you forget that it was your elder brother who kidnapped me before and wanted to kill me!"

"Girl, you can't say that!" One of them said: "You have been in our village for more than a month, and you have been provided with delicious food and drink. Have you ever been short of anything? Now that you have come out intact, you will discredit our village. Isn't that unkind?"

"Why? Don't you want me to thank you?" Han Zilan was a little angry, and ordered the boy at the door: "Go, report to the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, and say that a group of bandits have come to Shang Shangshu's mansion, and they have always come to suppress bandits!"

"Wait." Seeing this, Shang Shixu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Zilan..."

Han Zilan has lived in Goulan for a long time, and won countless favors with her innocent and pitiful face, and she is the same now, she said with tears in her eyes: "Cousin! Although I came to the Shangfu intact, how scared I was when they locked me up , do you know? Could it be that just because I can get out of danger, can I write off all the evil things they have done before?"

Lin Jingmo didn't want to bear it anymore, and said: "The person you should hate the most is not Xiao Huzi. The reason why his brother kidnapped you is because Shuangyin gave them money. Unfortunately, your enemy was let go by your own hands. What are you doing with Little Huzi now?"

After all, Lin Jingmo walked up to her and said: "Although you are very unlikable, especially me, I don't like you, but you were arrested by them and suffered a lot. You really have no reason to forgive them , But, you should know, if you insist on reporting to the officials, do you want me to tell you all the previous things, and let the Jingzhao Mansion break it off together!"

Han Zilan was shocked when she heard the words. Lin Jingmo didn't bring up that matter after coming back for so long. She thought Lin Jingmo would never bring it up, but she didn't expect...

With a look of embarrassment on her face, she took a few steps back and watched Shang Shixu run away aggrieved.

Shang Shixu looked at Lin Jingmo with some doubts.

Lin Jingmo just smiled at him, and then invited Chen Tiehu and his party into the mansion.

Chen Tiehu said, "Mrs. Shang, we don't need to bother."

"Little Huzi, what's wrong with you?" Lin Jingmo said, "Could it be because of what happened just now? You don't have to worry, she dare not do anything to you."

Chen Tiehu shook his head, still with a naive smile on his face, he said: "We are indeed bandits in the cottage, if people know that Mr. Shang is making friends with us, it will only be harmful and not beneficial! Between us, there is no need to stick to small details. , Today's wine, let us drink it, the weather is getting late, let's buy good things early and then go back to the cottage."

After finishing speaking, Chen Tiehu turned around and wanted to leave with a punch.

"Little Huzi! Wait!" Lin Jingmo chased after him, pulled the hairpin off his head and handed it to him, saying, "It's too late to go to the mansion to get you some money, this is for you, and you can exchange for more food for the winter. If the weather improves next year, I'd better go back to Nanling to farm!" After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Shang Shixu.

Shang Shixu also came out and said, "Don't worry about the Nanling matter. The Ministry of Household Affairs will allocate funds to you for disaster relief. It's important to get through this winter first."

"Is this true?" The gratitude on Chen Tiehu's face was beyond words, and he cried, "Can the people of Nanling not be hungry this winter?"

Shang Shixu nodded and smiled, "Yes!"

Chen Tiehu immediately fell to his knees and said: "Thank you, Lord Shang! I thank you on behalf of the people of Nanling! If I can return to my hometown to farm, why should I be a bandit in the cottage! Thinking about hurting you once, I really shouldn't!" "

"Don't say that!" Shang Shixu helped him up and said, "Didn't you save me once? The grievances between us will be wiped out. From now on, as long as I am the Minister of the Household Department, Nanling will not increase taxes for no reason. Already!"
