Chapter 9
On the second day, Lin Jingmo returned to the Shangfu in a carriage.

Li's mother was very worried when she heard that she fell into the water. She looked her up and down, and quickly asked, "Second girl, are you hurt? Why did you fall into the lake so well? The wind is cold, if the pool water freezes the muscles and bones, it will be a big deal."

Lin Jingmo heard the words, hurriedly turned around a few times, and replied: "My mother Li, it's okay, she immediately drank the cold-dispelling decoction when she came out of the water, took a bath and changed clothes, and changed into dry clothes. Nothing."

Seeing this, Mama Li felt relieved, but she still kept nagging, "A while ago, I was stabbed by someone, and now I fell into the water again. Could it be that I am committing Tai Sui this year? In a few days, the villain will go to the temple to ask for a guarantee for you." Peace is!"

Lin Jingmo shook his head, put his hands on Mama Li's shoulders and pushed her forward, and said, "Okay, okay, I will go with you when the time comes."

Entering the front hall while talking, Lin Jingmo asked again: "Where is my husband? Yesterday he jumped into the pool to save me, His Majesty allowed him to take a rest for a day, so he didn't have to go to the yamen to report. Why didn't you see him? He was in the study Is it?" Without waiting for Li's mother to answer, she asked again: "Or did you catch cold in the water yesterday?"

As she said that, she wanted to go to the courtyard, but Mother Li hurriedly stopped her and said, "Second Miss, don't go."

Lin Jingmo looked at Mama Li with some puzzlement, and asked, "Mama Li, what happened?"

Mother Li picked up the ginger soup that had been prepared in the kitchen in advance, told Lin Jingmo to sit down, scooped a spoonful and fed it into her mouth, watched Lin Jingmo swallow it, and slowly said while feeding the soup: "Two Don't worry, girl, my uncle is fine, but the old lady who lives in the backyard fell ill last night, beating around, throwing things at random, singing crazy songs until midnight, almost burnt After leaving the house, my uncle spent the whole night with her in the backyard, so it was quiet for a while."

After finishing speaking, Mother Li wiped Lin Jingmo's mouth with a handkerchief, and then said: "It's a good thing that the girl lived in the palace last night, otherwise it would be nice to scare the girl!"

Lin Jingmo was puzzled when he heard the words: "Is there still an old lady living in the backyard? Who is she? Why did you burn our house down?"

Li's mother's eyes flickered, and she replied in a very low voice: "Isn't it the young master's mother..."

"Mother?!" Lin Jingmo almost jumped up from the chair in shock, and said with a look of disbelief: "Why does my husband have a mother living in the mansion? Isn't that my mother-in-law?"

Lin Jing looked at Li's mother furiously and said, "Why didn't Li's mother tell me about such a big matter? I have been awake for so long, and I have never visited my mother-in-law. She is the husband's mother. How can we So remiss?"

But Mother Li hurriedly said: "No need to pay respects, no need to pay respects, that old lady is mentally incompetent, she is locked in the backyard on weekdays, she is just a crazy woman, second girl, you go to see her, and hurt yourself again." Go!"

Lin Jingmo heard the words, and then realized that Shang Shixu's mother was a delirious mad woman... No wonder she has never seen this mother-in-law since she woke up, and she has never heard of her being mentioned. .

She said to Li's mother: "Even if she is different from ordinary people, she is also my uncle's mother. We have no reason. If we spread the word and let others listen, we are going to say that our Lin family is so powerful that we don't even care about the elders!"

Mother Li murmured, "Isn't there still a lot of gossip outside..."

She spoke in such a low voice that Lin Jingmo couldn't hear clearly, so he asked again, "What did Mama Li say?"

Mother Li replied: "I advise the girl not to go..."

Lin Jingmo just shook his head, and said helplessly, "Okay, Mama Li stays here, I'll go by myself!"

After Lin Jingmo finished speaking, he walked to the backyard alone, but Li's mother was worried and followed behind.

After passing through a few doors, we arrived at the innermost backyard of the commercial house. The yard was not big. It was clearly in spring, but the yard was full of dead trees and dead grass. The table was tilted aside, but there was no sign of anger.Lin Jingmo lifted his skirt and walked into the courtyard.

Mother Li who followed stopped, wanting to stop Lin Jingmo but didn't know where to start, so she had to wait at the door.

Lin Jingmo walked into the main house, and saw that the house was in a mess, the torn tents were scattered everywhere, the ground was full of yellow and white paper for sacrificial offerings, and burnt paper ashes. Fruits and meals fell on the ground indiscriminately, and the floor was covered with broken porcelain and sundries.She looked inside, only to find that Shang Shixu was sleeping on the floor with his head resting on the edge of the bed.

Lin Jingmo approached Shang Shixu on tiptoe, pulled a soft blanket from the reclining chair beside him, squatted down, and carefully put it on Shang Shixu.She couldn't help but propped her head up with both hands and stared at his sleeping face.

He closed his eyes tightly, his slender eyelashes covered his eyelids, black ashes remained on his angular face, his thin lips were tightly closed, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

Lin Jingmo stroked his forehead distressedly: He looks so tired, what happened last night?
Suddenly hearing movement outside, Lin Jingmo was afraid of waking Shang Shixu up, so he hurriedly covered his ears with his hands. The moment he touched him, Shang Shixu opened his eyes, and the cold pupils were bloodshot.

Shang Shixu glanced at the hands covering his ears, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"what……"

Before Lin Jingmo could answer, someone in the room suddenly screamed.

Lin Jingmo hurriedly let go of his hand, followed the reputation, and saw a woman with hair covering her face, obviously dressed in gorgeous clothes but messy.

Lin Jingmo was taken aback, so he stepped back, and happened to step on the sewing doll on the ground. The old doll was stepped on by her, and its head fell off.

The lady was suddenly uncontrollable, and suddenly ran to Lin Jingmo with her head in her hands, and knelt down with a plop: "He's dead, he's dead! That's right, he's already dead! The villain is wrong, the villain Wrong, the villain is wrong!"

Immediately afterwards, she kowtowed her head three times and said, "His Royal Highness, spare me, the villain deserves death!"

Lin Jingmo was a little strange. She looked at the broken doll under her body, and then turned to look at the woman. Unfortunately, she couldn't see her face clearly because her hair covered her face.

Lin Jingmo was taken aback, and reacted to help the woman, but was suddenly pushed away by Shang Shixu.

Lin Jingmo, who was pushed to the ground, looked at Shang Shixu suspiciously, but saw that his eyes were already blushing. He helped the woman to cover her eyes, then turned his head to look at Lin Jingmo fiercely and said: "roll!"

"Get out?" Lin Jingmo was a little unbelievable. He was usually tender to him in every possible way. Why did his gentle and gentle husband in everyone's eyes suddenly seem like a different person?
With this push, she fell extremely hard, stood up with difficulty, and asked again: "Get lost?"

Shang Shixu then roared: "Don't you understand, Lin Jingmo! I'll let you go!"

Lin Jingmo walked away angrily. She ran out of the door, feeling angry again: "Even if your mother is insane, you shouldn't...you shouldn't speak ill of me! Let me go? Damn Shang Shixu !"

Mother Li, who was waiting outside, hurried over and pulled Lin Jingmo to the main courtyard, and said as she walked, "I told the second girl not to go, don't go, you just want to go, look, you touched this The nose is gray, where is it hurt?"

"I'm hurt!" Lin Jing said in a very angry manner.

Mother Li hurriedly stopped, nervously checked Lin Jingmo up and down and asked, "Where is the injury?"

Lin Jingmo kept silent, but frowned aggrievedly: It hurt my heart...

Lin Jingmo looked at Li's mother, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Mother Li hurriedly said: "My little aunt, don't cry, it's no wonder my uncle is angry."

Lin Jingmo looked at Li's mother in puzzlement: "Li's mother, are you still talking for him?"

But Li's mother said casually: "You beat her twenty sticks, presumably she was afraid of you..." Realizing that she had slipped her words, Li's mother hurriedly slapped her on the mouth a few times.

"I hit her?" Lin Jingmo stopped crying, she couldn't believe it, she looked at Li's mother and asked again: "I hit a delirious old woman? Or my mother-in-law? Why? ? And what does Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess mean?"
