Shang Shixu approached the screen, and slowly folded the screen from left to right, gradually revealing Lin Jingmo hiding behind the screen.

He slightly raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Ma'am?"

Lin Jingmo met Shang Shixu's eyes: "It's me!" She said to Li's mother beside her, "Li's mother went out and waited for me."

Mother Li saw that the atmosphere between the two was not right, so she hurried out and closed the door.

Seeing Mother Li going out, Lin Jingmo said slowly, "Husband came back really early today."

Shang Shixu didn't answer. He silently watched Lin Jingmo come out from behind the screen, walked to the stool by the table and sat down, and said, "Madam, did you hear it just now?"

"Yes!" Lin Jingmo straightened up and replied.

Shang Shixu raised his hand and turned the wrench slightly: "Madam is a smart person, since she heard everything, she naturally knows what to do."

"My concubine... I don't understand what my husband means..." Lin Jingmo frowned and looked back at Shang Shixu, feeling that he was so strange at the moment.

Shang Shixu also turned his head displeased because of this sentence, and he looked at Lin Jingmo with scrutiny, as if he wanted to see through her.

He looked at the proud Lin Jingmo in front of him, and was in a daze for a moment. The past Lin Jingmo overlapped with the present Lin Jingmo.

After a long while, after confirming that she still hadn't recovered her memory, Shang Shixu turned his head and said indifferently, "Master Zhang Yiqian is someone that my husband cannot offend. I beg your Madam to let them go and stop meddling in the case about him and his young master."

"Husband, what are you talking about?" Lin Jingmo asked in obvious surprise, "Do you know what crime he committed with his son?"

Shang Shixu looked at Lin Jingmo seriously: "No matter what crime he commits, as a husband, I hope my wife will hold her high."

"Exalt your hand?" Lin Jingmo was a little disappointed, but still tried to explain: "Zhang Renhuai molested Lian Xin, a geisha in Ruixiang Tower. Lian Xin would rather die than follow her. She was rescued by Xu Zhou who passed by, but the innocent Xu Zhou was stabbed by him Stabbed to death! Lian Xin went to get Xu Zhou's letter in order to repay her kindness, but was pushed downstairs by Zhang Renhuai, did you know? Lian Xin was alive until Zhang Shangshu learned that her son was in prison! He killed Lian Xin in order to silence her. Killing too! Now, what are you talking about? When he bullied those poor people, did he ever think about raising his hands?"

Shang Shixu raised his hand and rubbed his brows and said: "They are just insignificant people. I am about to set off to investigate the case in the northern border. You must not offend the Shangshu of the Ministry of War at this stall! Lin Jingmo! Ma'am! Just be me Please, stay in the mansion for a few days, okay?"

Lin Jingmo stood up in disbelief, walked to Shang Shixu, looked into his eyes and said, "My husband is going to the northern border, what does it have to do with Zhang Yiqian? You went to investigate the case openly, why did you hide the crime for Zhang Yiqian?" ? What is the connection between you..."

"Madam is overstepping!" Shang Shixu raised his eyes coldly: "This is a matter in the court, you don't understand, why ask these questions?"

Lin Jingmo argued hard: "Yes, I shouldn't interfere with the affairs of the court, but I have seen it with my own eyes, I can't do it if you want me to lie, let alone sit idly by!"

Shang Shixu stood up angrily when he heard the words, he put his arms around Lin Jingmo's shoulders and said angrily, "Ma'am, do you have to fight against me?"

"Right?" Lin Jingmo looked at his fingers that were constantly exerting force, endured the pain from his shoulders, and couldn't help but said with tears in his eyes: "Yes, what I have always done is right, everything is right! I saw If he kills, even if I don't testify against him, if he kills Uncle Anyang's nephew, Uncle Anyang will not let it go!"

Shang Shixu looked at the teardrops in her eyes, and suddenly realized that he hurt her. His face gradually softened, and the strength in his hands was also lightened. He reached out and brought Lin Jingmo into his arms, with a slightly distressed tone: " Ma'am...as long as you don't report to the government again, I have Uncle Anyang's handle in my hand, he dare not disobey me..."

When Lin Jingmo heard this, he pushed away Shang Shixu who was holding him with a shocked face: "Is this your rule?"

Her face was full of disbelief. Her husband, who usually looked like a breeze and a bright moon...that scholar who had read poetry and books and was full of knowledge... said such ruthless words now?

Because there is value for use, do we have to cover up each other's crimes?Because you have a handle, you can use it to coerce others to give up justice?
Realizing that he had slipped his words just because he was too guilty, Shang Shixu simply replied: "Yes, this is the law of my official position, and everything is for me to keep climbing!"

"To... keep climbing?" Lin Jingmo's eyes were filled with tears like beads, she looked at Shang Shixu with teary eyes, grabbed his arm and said, "Including marrying me, right?"

Shang Shixu looked at Lin Jingmo who was crying in front of him, he was reluctant to speak for a long time, and closed his eyes in the same pain.

"The person you really like is your cousin Han Zilan, right?" Lin Jingmo looked at Shang Shixu who was dodging his eyes and continued: "In that case, I will accept her for my husband!"

"I won't accept her."

Shang Shixu finally spoke, and he slowly opened his eyes: "Zi Lan has always been my cousin, she should not just be a concubine."

Lin Jingmo laughed heart-piercingly when she heard the words, her laughter was mixed with tears, it sounded so bitter.

She wasn't laughing at Shang Shi Sequence, nor Han Zilan, she was laughing at herself.

At that moment just now, she actually thought that Shang Shixu had rekindled hope because he didn't like Han Zilan, and it was ridiculous to think about herself.

Her eyes gradually turned cold, and her tone was filled with sarcasm: "In this way, she must be a regular wife! It turns out that I took her place... Then the husband might as well give up his concubine, so that he can marry someone who is truly in his heart." Lover!"

"Divorce my wife..." Shang Shixu repeated, "Divorce my wife...I have thought of divorce more than once in the past three years."

Hearing this, Lin Jingmo turned his back, and just lowered his head slightly, the tears in his eyes flowed down his cheeks, and his eyes no longer had the brightness and pleasure of the past.

Shang Shixu, who was behind her, continued: "But now, I just... just want to hope that my wife and I can be as good as each other, and even join hands for a long time."

Lin Jingmo raised her head in surprise when she heard this, she wanted to turn around to look at him, but she still froze in place because of disappointment. .

Shang Shixu hugged her from behind, and said softly: "I have been husband and wife with Madam for three full years, and the number of times I have met is very few. My understanding of Madam is the same as that of people outside. It is just hearsay. In these three years, Madame never gave me a chance to get to know you, to get close to you, to get to know you, and now...now that I finally fell in love with you, but asked me to divorce you?"
