Chapter 110 Qingqiu Temple

Hearing this, everyone was stunned. They seemed a little surprised that Lin Mowan suddenly spoke, and they all looked over sideways.

The old lady hurriedly pulled Lin Mowan in front of her and introduced her to the abbot warmly: "Sister Wan, the child of our Jiang family."

She deliberately didn't mention the adoption because she knew that this was the best time to show the generosity of the Jiang family.

She waved at Lin Mowan, who walked forward obediently. The old lady held Lin Mowan's hand and said, "This child is kind-hearted. I raise her as my own granddaughter, and I won't let her suffer any grievances."

After hearing this, the smart people naturally had no reaction, except Jiang Ruixue who was unable to read the intention and snorted suddenly to show her disdain.

It was this snort that made the abbot notice the arrogant girl standing beside her. She just glanced at her and then ignored her and continued to greet the old lady.

Of course, the old lady said this to the abbot. The abbot turned around and looked at Lin Mowan in front of him again, and nodded with a smile: "Looks like a good child."

As she spoke, the little nun came out from the backyard and said, "Master, the rooms have been cleaned up. The donors can move in anytime."

After this little episode with Lin Mowan, Jiang Wenqing was unable to say anything. Gongshu Tingyue on the side glanced at him with some resentment, but due to the occasion, she did not say much. Instead, facing the little nun's invitation, she could only accept it with a smile and let Nanny Cen help her to the side room.

Several people went into the side rooms and had vegetarian meals. Jiang Yanran came over with some clothes and bedding. Knowing that she would be staying here for a long time, Tong Yuhua had prepared them in advance.

She ordered people to put the things into the house, and then said, "They are all worthless things. It's cold in the temple in the autumn. Sister, please take care of yourself in the future."

Perhaps because she was willing to come forward to save Tong Yuhua, Jiang Yanran took great care of her. Although her own life was not going well, she still lent a helping hand when Lin Mowan seemed to need help.

If I say I'm not touched, that would be a lie.

Looking at the quilts and clothes that were brought in and mended stitch by Tong Yuhua, Lin Mowan nodded: "Thank you."

Jiang Yanran smiled and said, "Sister, there's no need to thank me between you and me."

As they talked, the two of them drank tea and chatted in the house. Before they went out, they heard Jiang Ruixue's complaining voice coming from next door:

"What a rubbish! Take it away! I don't want to use this kind of junk!"

"And this food, what kind of pig food is this? I want to eat jade meatballs, I don't want to eat this."

The two people in the room looked at each other, and Jiang Yanran was obviously more helpless: "She is always like this, sister, don't take it to heart, we just don't provoke her."

She lowered her voice very low, as if she was afraid that she would hear their voices. However, Lin Mowan just smiled and didn't say anything...

At nightfall, Jiang Yanran had been gone for a long time. Lin Mowan sat alone by the window, looking at the mountains not far away, which seemed to outline a peerless painting in the hazy night.

Yuzhi brought the vegetarian food provided by the temple into the room and gently placed it on the table. She looked at Lin Mowan in front of her hesitantly, and spoke after a long while: "Miss, do we really want to stay here?"

Facing Yuzhi's worries, Lin Mowan seemed very calm, just leisurely drinking tea. The tea they brought was from the mountain spring water here, and it tasted sweeter than the tea she had ever had before. After a long while, she put down the cup and whispered, "Why not?"

Yuzhi was speechless for a moment. Not to mention that this place was far from the imperial city, at least the environment here should be better. But bandits were rampant here. If something really happened to her, she would definitely suffer as well.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, she was speechless and just looked at her awkwardly.

After a while, Lin Mowan said again: "Don't worry, I won't joke about my own comfort." At least she would never do that before she got rid of their family.

Upon hearing this, Yuzhi's frown relaxed slightly.

Lin Mowan raised her hand, held the cup beside her, and gently stroked the rim of the cup with her fingertips. She said, "Go tell them that I'm seriously ill and need a doctor to see me before I can get better."

Yuzhi stood in the distance, somewhat confused about Lin Mowan's intention. Why did she curse her for no reason? But since her master had given her an order, she had no choice but to do as she was told. She nodded slightly, "Yes, I'll go right away."

She turned and left, watching the door open and close again. Lin Mowan was still just silently drinking the tea in the cup.

After calculating the time, she got up leisurely, lay back on the bed, and started coughing while holding a handkerchief. The next moment, the door was pushed open, and Yuzhi came in with Hanyan, the maid of Gongshu Tingyue.

Seeing Lin Mowan lying on the bed and coughing violently, she frowned and was somewhat reluctant to get close. Perhaps she was afraid of being infected, so she simply covered her mouth and nose and stepped back.

Yuzhi understood, and hurried forward, saying softly: "Miss, how do you feel? Don't worry, Madam will get you a doctor right away, everything will be fine."

As she spoke, she did not forget to squeeze out two tears, and it really looked like that.

Hanyan stood there uncertainly, unable to hide her disgust, and said, "Are you really sick or faking it? How could it be such a coincidence? You are not pretending, and you suddenly regretted it and don't want to stay here anymore, right?"

"What do you mean by that?!"

Yuzhi got into the role quickly. She jumped up immediately, her eyes red as she stopped Hanyan in a stern voice, saying, "Our daughter is already like this, and you are still saying such sarcastic words. What is your intention?!"

Obviously, Hanyan was also frightened by this scene. She stepped back, still feeling the lingering fear of having her teeth knocked out last time. With that experience in mind, she learned her lesson and this time, no matter what she said, she would not get too close to Yuzhi.

She stepped back until she was at a safe distance, then said, "Why are you so anxious? I'm just a messenger, what's the point of you getting anxious with me? Madam, let me come and see if she's pretending or not, or if she's making up an excuse because she doesn't want to stay here."

After she said that, Yuzhi was about to step forward, and Hanyan immediately stepped back like a frightened bird, looking at her vigilantly.

At this time, Lin Mowan said, "It's okay, Yuzhi, let her come over."

Her voice was weak and it didn't sound like she was pretending. Upon hearing that, Yuzhi no longer tried to stop her but just quietly stepped aside. Hanyan walked forward cautiously, trying to avoid Yuzhi and went to the bedside.

She bent down and observed Lin Mowan. Suddenly, Lin Mowan stood up abruptly and grabbed her neck. Hanyan subconsciously wanted to shout, but in just a moment, she couldn't make a sound.

Lin Mowan slowly stood up from the bed, completely losing her sickly look. She just pinched Hanyan's neck and pushed her into the corner.
