The concubine is soft and delicate, making her the treacherous minister's white moonlight

Chapter 11 Why Are You So Careless?

Yuzhi handed over a glass of water. Lin Mowan's expression remained unchanged, but her hand that took the cup began to tremble uncontrollably. She often dreamed about what happened nine years ago. Every time she woke up in the middle of the night, she resented herself for not being able to save her mother.

After drinking a cup of hot water, Lin Mowan's expression obviously eased a lot. She leaned lightly on the soft pillow, only to feel an inexplicable headache. This was an old problem that would happen every time she woke up from a dream.

Yuzhi did not ask many questions, but read some information from her tired and forbearing eyes. Yuzhi asked someone to get some hot water to wipe the sweat from her forehead, changed her inner clothes that were wet with sweat, and carefully raised her hand to rub her temples to relieve her headache.

Lin Mowan closed her eyes, and her heavy breathing gradually slowed down. She gently opened her eyes again and turned to look at the window. At this time, the courtyard outside was already dim, and a faint light could be seen. It seemed that dawn was approaching. She couldn't help but ask, "Did Aunt Hong reply?"

Yuzhi shook her head: "Not yet, don't worry, young lady. The letter was sent this afternoon, and now it's just dawn. Even if you read it and reply immediately, it will probably take a while for it to arrive."

Lin Mowan didn't say anything. Her headache was so severe that it could not be relieved by Yuzhi's pressing. She suppressed the irritability in her heart and raised her hand to gently push Yuzhi's hand away.

The pain made her voice tremble a little: "You go out first, I want to be alone for a while."

Yuzhi didn't ask any more questions, just accepted the order and left...

It was not until the sky was completely bright that Lin Mowan's headache was slightly relieved. She got up reluctantly, her face still pale, and it took her a while to fully recover.

When she went to pay her respects to the old lady, she learned that Jiang Youxi, who had always refused to take medicine, drank a whole bowl of medicine yesterday. The old lady happily pulled Lin Mowan aside and chattered about how much they loved Jiang Youxi and Jiang Youan.

You can say that you are afraid that he will melt if you hold him in your mouth, and you are afraid that he will fall if you hold him in your hands. He is the treasure of the whole family, and you give him whatever he wants. He will not tolerate any grievance.

Lin Mowan didn't want to listen, and even felt disgusted. How could she not know these things? Of course she knew, but she still smiled gently, looking understanding.

But perhaps because the old lady only mentioned Jiang Youxi and Jiang Youan when she talked about her treasures, Jiang Ruixue on the side was unhappy. She hugged the old lady's arm and acted coquettishly: "Grandma, Ruijie is not your treasure anymore, right?"

She was born well-behaved and innocent, like a flower that was carefully cared for in a greenhouse, always shining brightly. The old lady felt soft in her heart, and quickly let go of Lin Mowan's hand, hugged her into her arms, and coaxed her softly, "Silly girl, of course you are also grandma's darling, you and your brothers and sisters are all the treasures of my Jiang family."

After hearing what the old lady said, Jiang Ruixue smiled happily, and did not forget to give Lin Mowan a provocative look, which seemed to be both a mockery and a demonstration.

Lin Mowan just lowered her eyes, with a faint smile on her lips, and said nothing. She didn't care about being pampered or not.

But the task of urging Jiang Youxi to take the medicine naturally fell on Lin Mowan. Lin Mowan did not refuse and arrived on time every day. Even Yuzhi could see that Jiang Youxi's feelings for her were definitely not ordinary, but Lin Mowan did not explain.

Before destroying a person, you have to let him swell first. It is much easier to kill him directly. It is exciting to watch him fall from heaven to hell.

I have to say that the doctor hired by the Jiang family is quite capable. With a combination of external and internal medicines, Jiang Youxi was able to get out of bed in half a month. He still had medicine on his face. Although it had scabbed over long ago, the doctor said that if he didn't want to have scars on his face, he still had to keep it on.

Unexpectedly, he would be so dishonest on the first day he was able to get out of bed and walk. It was a bit chilly at night near the beginning of winter, so Lin Mowan asked someone to get some hot water for him to take a bath.

She had never been used to being served in this kind of matter, and would only ask the maids for help when she was really unable to get up due to Shen Weiyuan's torment.

She stood in front of the tub and took off her clothes. When she took off her underwear, she suddenly felt a chill on her back and a strong smell of alcohol lingered in her nose. Her sharp intuition told her that someone had come in. She couldn't help but hold tightly the underwear that she had just taken off halfway. At the moment when the person behind her rushed over to hug her tightly, she stepped lightly and put on her underwear. The person behind her obviously didn't expect that he would rush in vain, and he didn't control his strength at all, and almost fell into the tub.

Sure enough, the person who came was Jiang Youxi.

Seeing this, Lin Mowan decisively pressed the back of his head and pushed his entire head into the water. There was a burst of "gurgling" sounds, and the suffocation from drowning made him struggle with his hands and feet constantly. Fortunately, he was strong enough, and Lin Mowan failed to hold him down and bounced him away.

The viciousness in her eyes flashed across her face, but she quickly hid it. Without hesitation, she ran over to Jiang Youxi the moment he fell to the ground, put on a harmless look of fear, and considerately took a handkerchief to wipe the water off his face. While wiping gently, she said, "Master, are you okay? Did you get bumped? Why are you so careless? Look, it's all wet. You'll catch a cold soon."

Jiang Youxi sat on the ground, gasping for breath, looking like a drowned rat. Before he could come to his senses, he turned his head woodenly to look at Lin Mowan who was meekly wiping the water droplets off for him, feeling a little confused.

It seemed like someone was pressing his head just now, but there were only the two of them in the room. Seeing Lin Mowan's frightened, worried, and distressed look, he thought it was an illusion caused by his excessive drinking.

Before coming, he did drink some wine to give himself courage. After all, she was introduced by Shen Weiyuan. If he abused her, he would be punished again.

He had a similar experience before when he fell into a ditch after drinking. He always felt like someone was pulling him and he couldn't get up. Thinking of this, Jiang Youxi didn't take it seriously.

He grabbed Lin Mowan's hand that was wiping the water for him, and after being poured with bath water, he sobered up a lot. He opened his mouth, but before he could say "Sister Wan", the door was suddenly pushed open, and the person who came in was Yuzhi.

As soon as she saw the scene in front of her, she understood what was going on without Lin Mowan saying anything. Before Jiang Youxi could say "it's okay", Lin Mowan took the lead and said, "The eldest master is drunk, why don't you go and inform the master and the mistress."

Lin Mowan was worried that he wouldn't take the bait, but he actually came to her on his own initiative. Lin Mowan would naturally not let him go easily.

The master and servant looked at each other, and Yuzhi quickly understood what was going on, and hurriedly shouted outside, "Taohong, go and invite the master and the mistress."

Jiang Youxi was visibly panicked when he heard this. He staggered to stand up and wanted to leave, but Lin Mowan grabbed him and pressed him into a chair beside him without waiting for his reaction: "Hurry up and sit down and take a rest."

Before he could refuse, Yuzhi handed him a cup of tea. Lin Mowan took it and fed it into his mouth, as if forcing him to drink it.

After feeding him a glass of water, Lin Mowan stood up and made eye contact with Yuzhi, signaling her to keep the man steady first. Lin Mowan then quickly walked behind the screen and put on her clothes.

Not long after, upon hearing that Jiang Youxi had drunkenly entered Lin Mowan's room by mistake, Jiang Wenqing was the first to rush over. He strode in without even catching his breath, and the look he gave Jiang Youxi in his eyes seemed to be able to spit fire.

"Dad!" Jiang Youxi jumped up from his chair with horror when he saw the scene. Lin Mowan, who was sitting next to Jiang Youxi, also stood up and saw Gongshu Tingyue, who looked very aggressive, coming in with a group of servants and maids, as if they were here to catch someone committing adultery.

Lin Mowan smiled faintly without saying anything, and took the lead in bowing and greeting: "Master, Madam."

Hearing the voice, Gongshu Tingyue's surprised and wandering gaze finally locked onto Lin Mowan. After a half-second pause, her face darkened and she strode towards Lin Mowan.
