Chapter 128

Lin Jingmo asked after hearing the words: "Did I hear you right? You said that I am one year older than you, and I still call you sister?"

Madam Qing raised her lips and said, "I am the madam and you are the girl, so of course you have to listen to me!"

Lin Jingmo shook her head helplessly. Just as she was about to retort, Mrs. Qing stuffed a candy into her mouth.

Lin Jingmo slowly closed his mouth with a hint of sweetness. This feeling was like the scene when he and Lin Kongqing were together many years ago. They often fought and quarreled together, but he was always bribed by a piece of candy. …

The corners of Lin Jingmo's mouth gradually rose, and finally said with tears in his eyes, "Thank you...sister."

……

Shang Shixu returned to the capital soon after seeing Lin Jingmo. After all, he was now the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and was busy with official duties and could not leave the capital for too long. Although he was sure that Lin Jingmo would have to stay in bed to recuperate for the time being and would be fine, but after all, she It is always unsafe to stay in Prince Zhao's Mansion.

After returning to Beijing, on the one hand, Shang Shixu was busy dealing with the big and small affairs of the household department, and on the other hand, he was always worried about Lin Jingmo's safety. Sometimes when he recalled the wounds on his body, he also thought about giving up Lin Jingmo , he didn't know what he had to do to make up for Lin Jingmo. He already protected Lin Jingmo even without his own life, but he still ended up injured. Ashamed, all the injuries cannot be resolved, and they cannot become an ordinary couple after all.

On New Year's Eve, Shang Shixu had dinner with Shang's mother and Han Zilan in the backyard.

Shang's mother has not been sick recently and is just happily putting vegetables into her bowl.

Seeing this, Shang Shixu hurriedly put some of her favorite food in her bowl.

With a smile on her face, Han Zilan picked up her wine glass and said to Shang Shixu: "Cousin, I hope the new year will be better than the old one. Zilan proposes a toast to you."

Shang Shixu nodded and said, "Thank you cousin, you have been living outside all these years, and cousin also hopes that you will have a good home in the New Year."

Han Zilan's face fell instantly when she heard this, and after a moment she smiled slightly and said: "Although we have been celebrating the New Year in Ruixiang Tower in the past few years, fortunately, my cousin has been with Zilan every year. Zilan is very grateful to her cousin. Cousin, why don’t you have another drink.”

When Shang Shixu heard this, he thought of the three years since he married Lin Jingmo. Because he was worried about what would happen to his cousin in Ruixiang Tower, he often stayed at Ruixiang Tower, even on New Year's Eve?
Shang Shixu thought about it, and the bits and pieces of his past with Lin Jingmo couldn't help coming to his mind, because Lin Jingmo insulted him on the wedding night, and he had misunderstood her, and it was rumored that she was beaten by others About my own mother.He seldom gets along with Lin Jingmo, including New Year's Eve.

He never seemed to need a reason to stay away from her. As a wife, she was so stubborn that she would never even ask.

Shang Shixu felt waves of pain in his heart, and he picked up the wine glass and poured it down his throat again and again.

Seeing this, Shang's mother foolishly poured the food from her bowl into Shang Shixu's bowl, and murmured, "Shixu, eat something."

"Mother..." Shang Shixu looked at Shang's mother and said, "Why? Why have I suffered so much since I was a child, and why can't I control my own life? Why, I have done so many wrong things that cannot be made up for."

After saying that, Shang Shixu leaned in Shang's mother's arms, and Shang's mother said softly: "My child, don't be afraid..."

However, Han Zilan gave Shang's mother a big look. In her view, Shang's mother was just a lowly servant girl. Although she sacrificed her life to save Shang Shixu, she was nothing more than a useless madwoman.

Han Zilan stood up, pulled Shang Shixu out of Shang's mother's arms, and said, "Cousin is drinking too much, let's go back and rest!" Shang Shixu didn't refuse, but just leaned on her, allowing her to support him. Go in the direction of the main courtyard.

She ordered someone to open the bedroom door of the main courtyard.

The two maidservants looked at each other, neither of them dared to open the locked door, they knew that this was the place where the madam used to live, although they had the key, it was just to go in and clean it from time to time.

Han Zilan said angrily: "Presumptuous! What are you, how dare you stop me? Didn't you see that the adults are drinking too much and should be careful? Isn't he the male master of this mansion? Is there any problem living in the bedroom of the main courtyard?"

One of them said: "Cousin girl, this is where my wife lived before. My lord has told me that no one is allowed to open the door except for cleaning every day."

"What did you say? What madam!" Han Zilan looked at the man and said, "She tried to harm her cousin over and over again, but she has long since disappeared. How dare you call her madam? There is no madam in this mansion now. Just listen to me! Open the door for me."

Reluctantly, the man had no choice but to take out the key from his waist, and tremblingly prepared to open the door. At this moment, Shang Shixu heard the voice and gradually regained his senses. He let go of Han Zilan and snatched the key from the man.

He shook his head, tried hard to regain consciousness, held the key tightly in his hand, then turned to look at Han Zilan and said, "Zilan, it's getting late, you go back to your room to rest first."

Han Zilan originally wanted to do something while Shang Shixu was drunk, but she didn't expect Shang Shixu to sober up so quickly, so she had no choice but to go back to her room.

Shang Shixu opened his palms, looked at the keys in his hands, opened the door lock in a daze, and walked in.

As soon as he stepped into the door, he turned his head and saw Lin Jingmo sitting on the dressing table. She was combing her long hair carefully. He walked slowly towards her, but saw her take off her golden hair When the hairpin was on, he stopped in his tracks.

This is……

Ma'am, be careful!
He quickly walked to the dressing table, grabbed the hairpin, and then stabbed it towards Lin Jingmo. Just when the hairpin was about to pierce Lin Jingmo's skin, Shang Shixu suddenly withdrew his hand. He didn't want the tragedy to happen again, and he didn't want Lin Jingmo to be harmed.

Maybe because he drank a lot of wine, he sat on the ground with the golden hairpin in his hand. It all started when he stabbed the golden hairpin into Lin Jingmo's brain that night. Now he changed everything, he didn't do anything to hurt Lin Jingmo. Will everything about Jingmo change, and Lin Jingmo won't continue to hate him?

He raised his head, Lin Jingmo had long since disappeared in front of the dressing table, he struggled to stand up, and sure enough, there was no one in the room except himself.

When he spread his hand again, the golden hairpin in his hand also disappeared.

It turned out that nothing had changed, Lin Jingmo still hated him, the mistakes had already been made, and there was no turning back.

Outside the threshold, the Yangtze River flows by itself...

Shang Shixu retreated outside the house and locked the door with his own hands.

Yes, this is Lin Jingmo's nightmare, but why isn't it his nightmare?
