After being killed by the villain husband

Chapter 21 The Father and Daughter Conversation
Lin Jingmo sat in front of the bed, carefully dabbed some water with a towel, and gently wiped Shang Shixu's cheeks. The blood at the corner of his mouth had already solidified, but she clearly remembered that he got up to shield her from the stick in the reeds At that scene, he couldn't help biting his lower lip in distress, and then shed tears.

Although a doctor had come to see him just now, and the wound was well bandaged with medicine, but he had lost a lot of blood and hadn't woken up yet.

Lin Jingmo looked at his sleeping face, couldn't help recalling what Xiaohuzi said just now, and lost his mind for a while and fell into deep thought: My sister once said that he has the ability to assist the country and is highly valued by His Majesty, but why does he keep writing to the court to increase the number of Nanling? tax?For the sake of the safety of the northern border and the expansion of territory, His Majesty will inevitably be deceived, but as the servant of the household department, why would he do such a thing that harms the country and the people?I thought that he was a man with a clear moon and a clear breeze, untouched by the world, as an important minister of the household department with unparalleled beauty, and a Tanhua Lang who could write good articles on governing the country with one hand, but now it seems that what he saw may not be true... Could it be that Shang Shixu is real? Are you a traitor?And why did he worship Zhongshuling Chen Mianzheng as his father?What kind of relationship does he have with King Zhao?

Just as she was thinking, Mama Li pushed open the door lightly. Lin Jingmo's thoughts were interrupted. She turned her head and stretched out her index finger to her mouth, signaling Mama Li to lower her voice.

Mother Li nodded and waved to Lin Jingmo. Lin Jingmo got up and came to the door carefully, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

Mother Li put her ear on her side and replied, "Master Shangshu is here."

Lin Jingmo looked back at Shang Shixu who was still asleep, and walked out of the inner room to the front of the courtyard, just in time to see Lin Yuanzhi sitting alone on the stone bench in the courtyard.The moonlight poured down, Lin Yuanzhi nodded slightly, making his hair paler and thinner but tall and straight.

Lin Jingmo came to Lin Yuanzhi's side, bowed and said, "Father, you are here."

Hearing his daughter's voice, Lin Yuanzhi turned around and got up lovingly to help Lin Jingmo up and said, "Is my son okay?"

Lin Jingmo looked at his father's gray beard and wrinkled face, couldn't bear it, and hurriedly replied: "The child is fine, but my husband... Although the wound has stopped bleeding, he hasn't woken up yet."

Lin Yuanzhi said: "Just now, the old man was still sorting out official documents in the official department. Hearing that the two of you were kidnapped, I was very worried. The key to the palace gate has already been locked. I'm afraid I will have to wait until tomorrow before I can invite Imperial Doctor Zhang to see it."

Lin Jingmo took a closer look, and found that Lin Yuanzhi didn't even have time to change his official uniform. She must have rushed over from the official office in a hurry, so she helped Lin Yuanzhi sit down and said, "Thank you, father. Father is already old. , but was repeatedly surprised by what happened to her daughter, is she a daughter?"

Lin Yuanzhi shook his head with a smile and said, "Since you are father and daughter in this life, you and your eldest sister are bound by your father all your life. Parents love their children, but they are also happy because they are parents. Why not?"

Lin Jingmo lowered his eyelids thoughtfully, Lin Yuanzhi only thought that she was worried about her husband, so he comforted him: "I have asked the doctor just now, but fortunately, although the time sequence wound is deep, it did not hurt the spleen, take good care of it, He will recover soon. If you worry too much, it will not help his injury, and it will also be bad for your body."

Lin Jingmo frowned slightly, raised his eyes for a while and said, "My daughter has something to ask my father."

Lin Yuanzhi was amazed at Lin Jingmo's seriousness at the moment, and replied, "My son, it's okay to ask."

After getting Lin Yuanzhi's permission, Lin Jingmo seemed a little embarrassed, and after thinking twice, he asked, "My son heard that Shang Shixu was just a poor student with no family background and no support. Why did the father agree to his daughter's marriage to him?"

Lin Yuanzhi was a little surprised when he heard the words, his daughter and son-in-law have always had a deep relationship, why would they ask this question?Then he smiled heartily again, and said with relief: "In the imperial examination of Shi Sequence, the old man was appointed by His Majesty as the Minister of the Household Department to be the examiner. Although my father was very satisfied with his essays and thought he was a talent, he never thought of recruiting him as an examiner. My son-in-law, it’s just because I don’t want to give others excuses, and let others think that I am cultivating cronies in the imperial examination by using my status as the chief examiner. Therefore, when he came to propose marriage, the father flatly rejected him, not because he has no family background, nor is it Because he is living in poverty, but in the eyes of this old man, the imperial court does not belong to my Lin family, and the imperial examination is not used to choose a son-in-law for my Lin family!"

Lin Jingmo listened carefully, and asked, "Then why did my daughter marry him afterward?"

Lin Yuanzhi put his hands on his lap and continued, "Because of you."

Lin Jingmo's eyes were full of doubts: "Me?"

Lin Yuanzhi looked at her dotingly, his face was full of kindness, and said with a smile: "Among the five relationships, only husband and wife are the most special. It is not easy for a couple to support each other for a lifetime? Looking back at the beginning, your mother and I It was also at the end of our acquaintance. At that time, I was young and devoted all my attention to studying. I only hoped that once I entered the court, I would be able to do something great, so I ignored her. But she never left, and was always by my side. It wasn't until later when I had your elder sister that as a father, I only felt that the years are long and there will always be a lot of time together, but I didn't expect that she would die of blood when giving birth to you. It was only then that I realized that I used to only The ordinary bits and pieces of Taoism are so rare. Although the years have passed, my affection for your mother has only increased and never diminished, so I have never remarried in the past 19 years. I know that the most important thing between husband and wife is love. As I said, you are in love with him, so Dad would rather let the world misunderstand that he valued the court's upstarts, and marry him."

Lin Jingmo's eyes widened in astonishment when she heard the words, and her tense little face turned red. She nodded slightly and said, "It turns out that I have always been... to him..."

After thinking about it, I felt a little sorry for my father, so I said: "It's just that my father is willing to marry his daughter to him at the expense of being misunderstood for my happiness, but he recognizes Zhongshuling Chen Mianzheng, who disagrees with his father's political views, as his adoptive father." , blatantly against my father."

Lin Yuanzhi just shook his head when he heard the words, and scolded: "Mo'er's words are too narrow."

Lin Jingmo asked, "Father doesn't blame him?"

Lin Yuanzhi smiled and replied: "I chose him as my son-in-law because I wanted to find a good husband for my son, not to help me in court. Who said that my son-in-law of Lin Yuanzhi couldn't be Chen Mianzheng's son-in-law?" ?Although I have a disagreement with Chen Mianzheng, it is because of official business. How can we not distinguish between public and private affairs? Besides, there are countless civil and military courts, how can we only have one family's opinion? Correction, if all the civil and military officials in the whole court listen to me, Lin Yuanzhi, then I will become a courtier who despises the imperial power? Besides, there is no conclusion about right and wrong, how can we determine right and wrong based on close relationship now? Although he is my son-in-law, there is no need to impose the old man's ambitions on him. He has his own will and thought. As his wife, you should respect his choice. Maybe he recognizes Chen Mianzheng and appreciates his personality. Recognize him as a righteous father. You are my son, even if your husband-in-law recognizes someone else as a father, the relationship between you and me will never end, so why bother?"
