After being killed by the villain husband

Chapter 22
Lin Jingmo admired his father's open-mindedness very much, but he still said with some worries: "But above the court, there are turbulent winds and clouds. If even my son-in-law can't be my support, then my father won't feel that he is alone." lonely?"

However, Lin Yuanzhi said: "Isn't the affairs of the imperial court just as simple as the four characters of wind and clouds? I have been in the officialdom for my father for more than [-] years. Is there any danger that I have never experienced, and what tricks have I never seen? That is the case, and my father will not For my own self-interest, to support my cronies in order to let others agree with me, I am loyal to His Majesty, I only hope that the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe, and the country and the people are the most important thing in everything, instead of caring about personal gains and losses, so that I can speak out righteously instead of being timid. If I really have my own party members like Chen Mianzheng, so when I speak and do things for my father, I will take into account the interests of all party members. Isn’t it hard to do anything with my hands tied? Do things for my father, but please feel at ease. The friendship between gentlemen is like water. You don’t have to have the same opinion as me if you have friendship with me. Besides, it is precisely because I have no friendship with the courtiers that His Majesty thinks that father is the best person to be in charge of the official department.”

Lin Jingmo nodded, recalling Xiao Huzi's words, she felt uneasy again, and asked again: "Father, as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, has appointed countless officials, did you miss anyone?"

When Lin Yuanzhi was asked about this, he stood up involuntarily, sighed, and said: "It is true that I misunderstood him. He is a friend of mine who used to be a classmate. He is well-educated and has a big heart. I thought he could do something for the common people." After a great cause, he was recommended to His Majesty to be an official in Nanling. Nanling is rich and prosperous. Who would have thought that he would be rich in private pockets, and in the end he would be ruined and died without a whole body. His parents, wife and children would also be implicated. Back then, if it wasn’t for His concubine couldn't stand his torture, and ran to the capital to expose his crimes to me, I'm afraid the people of Nanling will have to suffer for a few more years. As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, I have also been negligent!"

Nanling again...

Lin Jingmo looked up at her father. She was very entangled in how to explain what she had seen and heard to her father, but she was also worried about the safety of Shang Shixu's future. When she recalled her father's words again, she suddenly felt that even if Shang Shixu had really done something wrong For the sake of the suffering people in Nanling, she should not hide it for her own selfish desires. If Shang Shixu is really a traitorous minister as they said, then she, the wife of a traitorous minister, will never escape. The husband bears all this together.

So she said frankly: "Nanling is rich and prosperous, but due to the continuous heavy rain, the wheat grains have become moldy, so I'm afraid we won't be able to collect food this year."

Lin Yuanzhi heard this, and asked in surprise, "Is this true? The briefing from Nanling hasn't arrived yet, how did you know about it, Mo'er?"

Lin Jingmo said with embarrassment: "It's what the bandits who kidnapped us said. They just suffered from the locust plague last year, but the imperial court turned a deaf ear to it and continued to increase taxes blindly. Their grain transport officer also died innocently because of this. I and Shang Shixu was tied up because of this, maybe... maybe Shang Shixu..."

"Are you worried that Timing has something to do with Nanling's tax increase?" Lin Yuanzhi took his daughter's words and said, "The reason why Nanling raised taxes is because the general of the Northern Territory wrote letters repeatedly and stated his interests. Although Timing is the Minister of the Household Department , but he has no right to increase taxes privately, and what's more, my father heard that when the northern border was defeated this time, he wrote a letter requesting His Majesty to send someone to the northern border to re-find out the reasons for the defeat before issuing another decree. He did not directly say to His Majesty that he would increase taxes! "

After Lin Jingmo heard this, the big stone finally fell in her heart. On the one hand, she was glad that Shang Shixu was not the treacherous minister who harmed the country and the people they said, and on the other hand, she blamed herself for a period of time. The treacherous and sycophantic traitors, if you think about it, they are just peasants suffering in Nanling, how can they know how the imperial court far away in the capital made the decision?
Knowing daughter Mo Ruofu, Lin Yuanzhi saw that the expression on his daughter's face had changed so much in a short period of time, so he guessed that it was inseparable. He lightly stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The value of a husband and wife lies in knowing each other. You should trust him at all times. Don't forget, as a father, he is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and he has read countless people, so he will not be a bad person at the time."

Lin Jingmo nodded with a gratified smile.

Lin Yuanzhi said to her: "Mo'er, remember your original intention."

Listening to his father's words, Lin Jingmo couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. Why was he a poisonous woman in the past when his father taught by example?

Thinking of this, Lin Jingmo couldn't help asking: "Does father regret giving birth to a daughter?"

Lin Yuanzhi was very surprised when he heard this and said, "Mo'er, why do you ask such a question?"

Lin Jingmo stood up and said in a daze, "If it hadn't been for the dystocia when giving birth to me, my mother would not have died, and my father would not have lost his most beloved wife."

Lin Yuanzhi didn't think so, he shook his head, and said to Lin Jingmo: "Mo'er, you are the child of my wife and me. You lost your mother, and you are also a miserable child. How can you blame your own daughter as a father? ?”

"But..." Lin Jingmo thought for a while, hesitated for a moment and said: "Father is an important official of the court, and he is also a Qingliu in the court, but there is a notorious poisonous woman..."

"Mo'er!" Lin Yuanzhi's tone became a little tough: "How can my child be a poisonous woman? How can you be a person and do things as you like? You are young, as long as you follow your heart, why should you care what others think of you?" What! The world misunderstands you, as long as you have no shame in your heart."

Lin Jingmo understood after hearing the words: So what if the world thinks I am a poisonous woman?As long as my father said, follow my heart, but do good deeds, don't ask about the future.

……

The sun was shining on the window lattice, and Shang Shixu slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the strange bed curtain, which was the inner room of Lin Jingmo's main courtyard that he had never been to.

He turned his head and saw Lin Jingmo who was sleeping soundly lying on the bed, her soft hair lay casually beside his hand, and the sun shone on her face, which was both quiet and warm.

He couldn't help raising his hand slightly, and the blue hair slid down from top to bottom. He looked at Lin Jingmo beside him with a smile on his face.

He stretched out his hand to caress Lin Jingmo's white and tender cheeks, and with his fingertips twitched her slightly frowning brows, and then followed the direction of her willow eyebrows to touch the scar on her brow.

Lin Jingmo opened his eyes slightly, half awake, and quickly withdrew his hands, turning his head to one side as if nothing had happened.

Lin Jingmo rubbed his eyes in a daze, turned his head and stretched out his hand to hold him, then raised his hand to cover his face, and said like a dream but not a dream: "Husband, are you awake?"

Shang Shixu turned his head and glanced at his hand with a hint of success.

Suddenly Lin Jingmo woke up, she stood up and said, "Husband, you finally woke up!" Then she lifted his quilt with concern, and said while looking at his wound, "Do you still feel unwell?"

Shang Shishu frowned slightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Well, it hurts very much."

"I'll get someone to call the doctor!" As he spoke, he got up and wanted to leave.

Shang Shixu reached out to grab her forearm, gently pulled her into his arms, closed his eyes again and said, "Ma'am, don't move around, it will hurt if you touch the wound."

Lin Jingmo blinked in his arms, afraid of touching his wound, and dared not act rashly.

After a while, he finally opened his mouth and said, "Is Madam injured?"

Lin Jingmo replied in a low voice: "No, I'm fine, how about you? Is there any pain?"

Shang Shixu reached out and stroked her soft hair, and said flirtatiously, "I have nothing to do with my husband, I'm just worried about Madam."

Lin Jingmo's head exploded with a buzz!She shyly stretched out her hand to push Shang Shixu away, stood up, but still touched his wound.

Shang Shixu sighed in pain, and said with some disappointment: "It seems that Madam still doesn't care about my life or death."

"Did you touch your wound?" Seeing that he was in pain, Lin Jingmo hurriedly squatted beside the bed again, met Shang Shang Shixu's eyes, and said, "I'm sorry, I'd better call the doctor."
