I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

"Don't blame yourself, young lady. Everything is fate. We told you this because we hope you won't go out for the next few days." Xunmian sighed deeply, "My Lord is worried about you going out. Wait until we catch the murderer before going out."

Lin Jin was somewhat distraught. She felt a tightness in her chest when she thought of the two people she indirectly killed: "How will we deal with their funeral arrangements, and what about their families?"

"Don't worry, young lady. You don't need to worry about these things. The housekeeper has already arranged everything." Xun Mian knew that she was upset, so he stepped forward to help her calm down.

Lin Jin covered her lips, her eyes filled with tears. She didn't understand why this happened. What did she do to make the other party do this to her? He didn't even care whether it was her or not, he would kill her just by seeing her back.

"Has that person lost his basic conscience? If he really hates her so much, he should come after her. Lin Jin burst into tears.

"Don't cry, girl. The master will definitely catch that man and avenge those two girls." Xunmian comforted Lin Jin. She felt bad seeing Lin Jin in so much pain, but if she didn't say anything, she was afraid that Lin Jin would encounter an accident when she went out today, which would be a real bad thing.

Lin Jin closed her eyes in pain: "Revenge, what can revenge do? If they die, they are dead. They can't live again. If they lose their lives, they lose everything."

When Song Shixia came back from the academy, she heard that Lin Jin had not been able to eat for the whole day because of the death of two maids in other villages. She hurried to find Lin Jin holding Shi Nian in her arms.

Lin Jin's eyes were swollen from crying, and she didn't even notice Song Shixia coming over. Song Shixia put Shi Nian aside, sat down next to Lin Jin, and called out twice: "Ajin, Ajin?"

"You cried more like a little kitten than Nian'er did." Seeing Lin Jin come back to his senses, Song Shixia immediately started to joke.

"Sister Shixia." Lin Jin hugged Song Shixia and cried aggrievedly, "I don't know what I did wrong, I didn't mean it. I, wuwu, I killed someone, wuwu..."

Song Shixia patted Lin Jin's back, coaxing her and asking, "Ajin, instead of blaming the murderer, you resent yourself? If that person knew, I'm afraid he would be so happy."

"But they died because of me." Lin Jin still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

"They didn't die because of Ajin, they died because of the murderer. Did Ajin do anything to kill people? If not, even if Ajin made the other party unhappy, it is not a crime punishable by death. But he killed them because of it. It was his fault. How can you blame Ajin?" Song Shixia wiped Lin Jin's tears. Although it was comforting, there was also a hint of blame in it. "Ajin is usually so clear-sighted, why is he confused today?"

Lin Jin pursed his lips. How could it be the same as usual? When it comes to human life, the usual things are just minor matters.

"Xunmian and the others must have advised you today, but you are still crying so sadly. Aren't you making those girls worry about you?" Song Shixia pinched Lin Jin's face and asked Lin Jin to take a good look at Xunmian and the others. "Look at them. If not for themselves, they should think about the people close to them."

Lin Jin looked over and saw Xunmian and Xing'er outside glancing over here from time to time. She had been crying all day, and the maids also looked a lot more haggard.

"He defies the law. Whether it's for personal grudges or someone hired him to commit murder, he's the one who's wrong. Why are you crying? Even if you feel sorry for the two girls, there should be a limit. How can you hurt yourself so easily for others? Are you stupid?" Song Shixia's brows, which were always filled with sadness, were now stained with anger. "If you continue to be this stupid, I won't care about you in the future."

"That won't work. Sister Shixia wants to be with me, the best in the world." Lin Jin held Song Shixia's hand and refused to let go. After crying for a whole day, her eyes and nose were red, like a clown. "If Sister Shixia doesn't want me, who else will want me?"

"Silly, what's the importance of others? You are the most important." Song Shixia was helpless and amused. Suddenly, it started raining outside the window. She frowned and said, "When will this rain stop? It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, and I haven't been to the temple to worship Buddha yet."

Lin Jin whispered, "It will stop the day before and on the day of Mid-Autumn Festival."

In the original book, the palace held a grand banquet because the rain stopped in the past two days. After all, this era emphasized the right time, right place and right people. The continuous rain that had been falling for so long on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival suddenly stopped, which was as if it was God's will.

But after it rained for a while, the sky finally cleared up. Those two days of clear weather were completely prepared for the heroine’s highlight.

"Can Ajin also observe the celestial phenomena? If so, let's go on the 14th." Song Shixia laughed, but still continued speaking along with Lin Jin's words.

Lin Jin thought it was a good idea and was about to nod, but suddenly remembered that Song Shixia did not attend the palace banquet in the book, and quickly sat up straight: "Sister Shixia, are you going to worship Buddha on that day? Will you come back on the same day? Will you go to the palace for the banquet the next day?"

"Of course I will." Song Shixia was stunned, not knowing why he asked this question. "My brother and I are the only ones in the Prime Minister's Mansion now. It would be unreasonable for me not to go to the palace for the banquet."

Although His Majesty once said that if she was not feeling well, she could skip the banquet, but this was still not appropriate. She was afraid of being criticized, and she did not want to cause trouble for His Majesty and her brother.

Lin Jin blinked, thinking: "Sister, can I go with you?"

No matter what, she couldn't let anything happen to Song Shixia.

"Hey, Jin wants to go?" Song Shixia didn't expect that Lin Jin would want to go to worship Buddha together this time. "Well, since you ran into Master Xianglian yesterday, maybe Jin has a connection with Buddha."

Lin Jin just smiled and said nothing. As for the Buddhist fate, she didn't think she had any. Xianglian was just a coincidence, but there was no need to explain so much. As long as Song Shixia let her follow, it would be fine.

She had to find Song Shiqiu and make preparations in advance. Although Song Shiqiu was a little busy with the recent autumn examination, it should not be a problem for him to spare some time. After all, Song Shixia was his sister.

Lin Jin was still wondering when to go find Song Shiqiu, but after the evening, Song Shiqiu took the initiative to come to her.

She looked at Song Shiqiu and blinked: "My lord, have you come to the wrong place? This is Bikong Courtyard."

"I came here to find you." Song Shiqiu lifted his skirt and calmly sat in the main seat. "The murderer who killed those two maids has been found."

Lin Jin was surprised at Song Shiqiu's speed, but this was reasonable: "Who is it? And why?"

Song Shiqiu's breathing was a little heavy, but it didn't make people panic. Instead, his eyes made people feel at ease: "Do you still remember what you said to me some time ago? There was indeed someone who deceived the superiors and the subordinates, so I had him beheaded directly."

The others were sent to jail as well, but no one expected that some of them would slip through the net.

"They know it was me who said it, so..." Lin Jin's throat was dry, and he felt it was ridiculous and absurd.

"What are you thinking about?" Song Shiqiu found this a little funny. "If what you said in my Prime Minister's Mansion could be leaked out, wouldn't it mean that I am not strict with my subordinates?"

Lin Jin paused, wanting to explain, but found that it seemed to be true. Who would dare to place spies in the Prime Minister's Mansion? "Then...then why..."

"That person wanted to take revenge on me, so he wanted to attack you. Xia Xia is usually either at home or at the girls' academy. Even if the other person is a desperate criminal, he can't attack you. But Biezhuang is remote, and you have been going there frequently recently, so you were naturally targeted."

"I'm telling you all this so that you don't take it to heart. It's not your fault." Seeing her silent, Song Shiqiu didn't know what she was thinking, and his expression changed again and again.
