Chapter 12: What a Disregard for Humanity
She shook her hand, and Lin Mowan dodged. The slap that was supposed to hit Lin Mowan's face hit the corner of the table as Gongshu Tingyue staggered, causing her to wail in pain.

Lin Mowan was amused. They were indeed mother and son. They were just as stupid as each other. But she pretended to be concerned: "Madam, are you okay? Is everything serious? I didn't mean it. Please don't blame me."

It was unknown whether it was out of anger or pain, but Gongshu Tingyue's face turned red. Nanny Cen hurried forward to help her up and straightened her clothes. She glared at Lin Mowan angrily: "You..."

She gritted her teeth, veins bulged on her forehead, and raised her finger to point at Lin Mowan. Before she could say any curse words, Lin Mowan quickly turned her head to look at Jiang Youxi beside her.

When their eyes met, they looked like a frightened dodder, which made Jiang Youxi, who was still not fully awake, feel distressed. He stood in front of Lin Mowan and interrupted Gongshu Tingyue's words: "Mother, don't blame Sister Wan. I was drunk and confused, so I accidentally barged in."

Gongshu Tingyue's throat choked. He couldn't swallow the words "whore, seduced my son" that he hadn't said yet. He couldn't say them out loud either. It was obvious who had the problem.

Lin Mowan hid behind Jiang Youxi, as if she was certain that Jiang Youxi, who was attracted by her beauty, would definitely protect her. After all, it was something she hadn't even gotten yet, so of course she had to serve and coax him first.

Unable to swallow this breath, Gongshu Tingyue decisively changed hands and slapped Jiang Youxi in the face. She gritted her teeth and cursed: "You, you are really possessed by a ghost!"

Jiang Youxi lowered his head and didn't say anything. They all knew that he liked to play, and they usually turned a blind eye to it. As long as no one was killed and the Jiang family was not embarrassed, they would not ask any questions. They would just give him some money to get rid of him. Anyway, the Jiang family could afford any amount of money.

"What's wrong with you!" Jiang Wenqing was also furious, slapping his hands on the table. Jiang Youxi gritted his teeth. He was always a jerk, and this time was no exception. He said, "What's wrong? I just drank too much and took the wrong road. Nothing happened."

When he said this, he was obviously still a little unconvinced. Jiang Wenqing was so angry that he trembled and pointed at him. He couldn't say a word for a long time. After a long time, he shook his sleeves and said, "Go, why don't you go!"

Seeing Jiang Wenqing roaring in anger, Jiang Youxi had no choice but to sneak out of the door in shame. Gongshu Tingyue held his hand that was red and swollen from being hit by the corner of the table, and looked at Lin Mowan in front of him with resentful eyes.

Her vulture-like cold eyes swept over Lin Mowan and she said sternly, "Miss Lin, although you come from a humble family, you have been through the hands of Second Master Shen after all, so you should know some propriety and honor. Don't think that you can do whatever you want in the Jiang family just because you have Second Master Shen's support! I am also a woman, I know your cunning mind, my son is noble, and he will marry a nobleman in the future. With your background, you only have a good appearance, and you are only fit to be a concubine, you have to know yourself."

She spoke out all her dissatisfaction in her heart as if to vent her anger, but looking at Lin Mowan, there was still no discomfort on her face, and she even wanted to laugh in her heart.

She lowered her head and twisted her fingers slowly. Gongshu Tingyue thought she was uneasy, but she didn't even raise her eyelids. She forced out a trace of sadness, pretended to be choking, and said, "I know."

Seeing that she was so easily controlled by him, Gongshu Tingyue's anger suddenly eased a little. She glared at Lin Mowan fiercely, then turned around and left with her sleeves swung.

When we got outside, we heard her loudly ordering the maids and servants in the courtyard: "If you dare to let anyone know what happened today, you will all die!"

Then, there were the footsteps of Gongshu Tingyue leaving in a hurry. Only Lin Mowan and Jiang Wenqing were left in the room. Jiang Wenqing did not leave in a hurry, but waited until everyone left and stayed to talk to Lin Mowan alone.

Lin Mowan had no room to refuse and was forced to accept. She sat on the chair and leaned against the table. The grievance of being scolded just now disappeared. She looked up at him with interest and joked, "Master Jiang, the young master seems to have some feelings for me. What do you think?"

"You!" He roared subconsciously to intimidate, but then he thought that what he was about to say could not be known to others, so he quickly looked outside the door to make sure there was no one. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't you know that he is your own brother? How could you do such a thing? It is simply, simply disregarding human ethics!"

Lin Mowan looked at him, her eyes as cold as a dead lake without a single ripple. She smiled brightly, pretending to be aggrieved and surprised: "What did I do? Lord Jiang, you must have made a mistake. You didn't know it was the young master, not me. Besides, this is my room, and it doesn't seem like I'm the one who went wrong." Jiang Wenqing was speechless. He gritted his teeth and said, "Mad man!" He turned around and wanted to leave, but he was still unwilling to do so. He wanted to leave and stay several times.

He stepped out of the room and called the maids and servants in the courtyard, saying loudly: "From today on, the two of you are not allowed to come near again! In the future, no one is allowed to let him into Feiqing Courtyard. If I catch him again, you will pack up and leave immediately!"

This was of course the result that Lin Mowan wanted. Jiang Youxi was ordered not to get close to her again. Then, no matter what happened to Jiang Wenqing, it would have nothing to do with her.

While she was thinking, Lin Mowan had already stepped out of the door. The maids and servants were so scared that they knelt on the ground and accepted the order. Jiang Wenqing left angrily without even looking back.

Although the Jiang family tried their best to cover up this matter, the news still reached Shen Weiyuan's ears. Of course, this is a story for later...

The next morning, Lin Mowan got up early as usual and went to pay her respects to the old lady first. The old lady had also heard about what happened last night.

When Lin Mowan entered the hall, she saw her frowning and looking unhappy. It was rare that everyone was present today, including the entire Jiang family, including Jiang Ruixue and the second mother Tong Yuhua who had been staying indoors for a long time.

Seeing Lin Mowan coming in, Jiang Youxi was the first to stand up to greet her, but was stopped by Jiang Wenqing's look. Apart from other things, after so many years in the court, he still had some deterrent power.

Lin Mowan naturally waited and watched the situation develop, and greeted everyone in turn according to the rules. The old lady called her over with a serious look, and Lin Mowan did not refuse.

The old lady took Lin Mowan's hand as always, letting her sit beside her. She said sincerely, "I have to thank you in person for the banquet a few days ago. If it weren't for you, that brat would never drink the medicine even if you beat him to death."

As she spoke, she did not forget to give Jiang Youxi a fierce look, but Jiang Youxi still looked impatient and turned his face away with a hint of dissatisfaction.

The old lady patted her hands, quickly lowered her eyes and glanced at her, making sure that the bracelet was still in her hand. Only then did the old lady's frown relax a little.

Lin Mowan smiled, pretending not to understand the strange atmosphere, and said: "Old Madam, you are too polite. Since I have entered the Jiang family, I will naturally treat all my brothers and sisters as my closest relatives and take good care of them. The affairs of my brothers and sisters are naturally my business."

These words made the old lady very happy. In comparison, the people at home who always gave her trouble, regardless of their status, the sensible and obedient man in front of her was really to her liking.

She held Lin Mowan's hand tightly, and then said solemnly: "Since you said so, then grandma will not treat you as an outsider. Tell grandma, do you have a lover now?"

Lin Mowan lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and guessed what she meant by this question. She smiled shyly and shook her head. She glanced at Jiang Wenqing beside her, and his expression changed obviously. It was obvious that their guesses were the same.

Seeing this, the old lady nodded in satisfaction the next moment, paused slightly, and then said: "Well, what do you think of having a banquet? If I introduce you to a matchmaker, will you accept it?"
