Chapter 128 Knowing that it is not safe

Seeing her so angry, Nanny Cen stood aside, thought for a moment, and then suddenly came up with an idea and comforted her: "Master, we have to think positively. If the sponsor is really His Royal Highness Prince Guangning, then it will be much easier to deal with than Master Shen."

"What do you mean?" Gongshu Tingyue stopped her rage, feeling somewhat confused, and as if she had a glimmer of hope. She looked at Nanny Cen beside her, the person who had been with her since she was a child, the most capable servant chosen by her mother for her, and in a sense, also her relative.

Nanny Cen raised her hand and gently and carefully wiped away the tears on her face, which were not sure whether they were caused by anger or hatred, and calmed Gongshu Tingyue's emotions.

She slowly said, "Think about it. If it's someone from His Royal Highness Prince Guangning, then this matter is our own internal affairs. But if it's someone from Second Master Shen, you know he's protective of his people, so it will be troublesome to deal with her."

Yes, if the financial backer behind Lin Mowan is really Gongshu Beicheng, then it must be an internal affair of their Gongshu royal family. Gongshu Yanyu will definitely not make this matter public. If it gets out, it will ruin the reputation of the royal family.

Therefore, the best way is to let Gongshu Yanyu know, and then expose the matter in front of everyone, and then put all the blame on Lin Mowan. Even if it is to protect the reputation of Gongshu's family, Lin Mowan will definitely not survive.

Thinking of this, Gong Shu Tingyue's anger had mostly subsided. He raised his hand to wipe the tears from his face and cheered up again: "You are right, Lin Mowan, you won't be arrogant for much longer."

……

At this time, Lin Mowan, who was far away in Qingqiu Temple, received the news of Gongshu Tingyue's fury from Jiang Yanran. At the same time, someone from the Jiang family also sent a letter saying that someone would come to take her back to the imperial city soon.

Not to mention how long it would take to get back from here, if they encountered a few robbers on the way, if Lin Mowan was really as weak as everyone saw, she would probably not even be able to survive and enter the imperial city.

On the day of returning, there were not many members of the Jiang family who came to Qingqiu Temple to pick up Lin Mowan. There was only a coachman and a carriage, and not even a guard.

In the cold room, Lin Mowan was not too surprised when she saw the letter in her hand. She just curled her lips as expected. Yuzhi, who was standing beside her, could not help but feel happy, but she still said dissatisfiedly, "It's good that these people have some conscience and know that it's not appropriate to leave our girl here alone."

Lin Mowan still just smiled and said nothing. It wasn't that they suddenly had a change of heart. She was afraid that there was a bigger conspiracy waiting for her.

Obviously, the abbot knew the surrounding situation best, and the bandits in the mountain stronghold were the most well-informed. If Lin Mowan just left like that, she would probably be intercepted halfway.

While thinking, she just silently placed the letter that Jiang Yanran had secretly sent on the burning paper. The flames instantly jumped onto the paper and became uncontrollable. The blazing flames reflected in Lin Mowan's resolute and cold pupils. She murmured in a low voice: "Gongshu Tingyue, soon, you will taste the taste of being deserted by your friends and relatives."

They had already walked out of the temple, but the abbot was still holding her hand, his eyes full of worry. She had tried to persuade him for a long time just now, but Lin Mowan always comforted her with an innocent look on her face, and was very happy that the Jiang family sent someone to take her back.

The abbot couldn't help but have tears in his eyes. Thinking about how she had been wronged by Gongshu Tingyue before, he sighed that this girl was so stupid and naive. If she really went back to that mansion, she would be eaten until not even a bone was left.

Outside the temple, the abbot held her hand and refused to let go, saying earnestly: "Silly girl, you are just going to walk like this. The road is dangerous and it will take more than one or two hours to get there."

She hinted at many things and was almost about to expose Gongshu Tingyue's intention to kill her to persuade Lin Mowan, but Lin Mowan was still smiling happily, her eyes seemed to be shining, and she once again pulled the abbot's hand and said, "Master, don't worry about me. Although the journey is long, I can bear it. As long as Madam Jiang doesn't drive me away in the future, it will be fine. If they are willing to take me back, it means they accept me." When Lin Mowan said this, her face was full of happiness, and the abbot felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. She lost her husband and daughter in middle age and had no way to go, so she chose to become a nun. Now she can't remember how many years it has been.

Looking at Lin Mowan in front of her, she seemed to think of her daughter who had been occupied and robbed. At that time, she and Old Lady Jiang were still poor, and they wished they could break a copper coin into two halves.

Her daughter had also looked at her with such eyes, sparkling and bright, as if filling the entire starry sky on a hot summer night.

She withdrew her thoughts, raised her hand and gently stroked Lin Mowan's cheek lovingly, and carefully and reluctantly tucked the loose hair behind Lin Mowan's ears.

Lin Mowan looked at the tears flashing in the abbot's eyes, and the smile on her face finally couldn't be suppressed. She didn't know how long it had been since she felt such a warm and sincere emotion without any conflicts of interest.

She suddenly felt that this place seemed pretty good, at least it was far away from all the intrigues, but she also understood that she couldn't stay here for too long, as she still had a lot of things to do.

If she didn't leave, this place would probably become a living hell. She didn't want to implicate the abbot or anyone else here.

Finally, Lin Mowan calmed down, took the abbot's hand, and said with a smile: "Master Bodhi, don't worry, I will be fine. When I return, I will report to you that I am safe. I will definitely come back to see you."

The abbot listened to her words, holding back his tears, and when Lin Mowan turned around and prepared to get on the carriage, he hurriedly grabbed her. Before Lin Mowan could react, a hard object was stuffed into her hand.

She looked down and saw that it was a dagger. Lin Mowan was a little moved. Then she heard the abbot's trembling voice no longer restrained, saying: "Be careful, be careful."

Lin Mowan looked at her and suddenly felt bitter in her heart. She still tried to hold back her tears and nodded, "I will."

After getting on the carriage, it slowly drove back to the imperial city. Along the way, on the surface, it seemed that there were only Lin Mowan and Yuzhi, plus a coachman, and no one else.

The carriage had been travelling for a whole day without incident. When they were a long way from Qingqiu Temple and the sky was gradually darkening, the carriage slowly stopped. The two people in the carriage looked at each other, and Yuzhi got up and went out to check.

"what happened?"

She stuck her head out and looked at the driver warily. The driver stood under the cart and said helplessly, "Miss, we can go without food or water, but the horse has to pull the cart. If it doesn't eat, it won't have the strength. Let's rest for a night and continue on our journey tomorrow."

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Yuzhi slowly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and looked at Lin Mowan, asking what Lin Mowan meant with her eyes.

Lin Mowan was sitting in the carriage, holding Sanhua in her arms. Since there was no problem, it was no big deal, and there was no rush, so she nodded in response.
