Chapter 131 Remember to drink the medicine
Upon hearing this, even the usually calm Lin Mowan was stunned, a hint of difference flashed in her eyes, and when she looked at her, her eyes quickly flashed with incomprehension.

But after all, they are just partners, and she doesn't want to interfere too much in her own affairs. It is not her decision whether Gongshu Tingyue lives or dies.

In order to calm Hanyan down, Lin Mowan nodded: "Since you think so, I will consider it."

Seeing Lin Mowan give in, Hanyan breathed a sigh of relief. She thought to herself that as long as she didn't kill Gongshu Tingyue, she would not be branded as ungrateful and would be able to accompany Jiang Wenqing openly.

After the two finished their conversation, Hanyan stood up and left. Seeing that she had made a mistake, Lin Mowan couldn't help but remind her: "Remember to drink the medicine."

When she heard this, she paused, looked back at Lin Mowan, hesitated for a moment, nodded, and walked out the door...

On the fourth day after Lin Mowan returned, early in the morning, Yuzhi told her that Gongshu Tingyue hurriedly came into the palace in a sedan chair. It was said that he knew the news that Gongshu Beicheng had returned.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mowan paused her hand that was stroking Mao, but there was no excessive surprise on her face. She just smiled mysteriously and told Yuzhi to pretend that she didn't know about it.

After breakfast, Lin Mowan took some supplements and went to Hongbaoyuan. Seeing that it was Lin Mowan, the old lady leaned on the bed and hurriedly called her over.

"Madam," Lin Mowan said with concern, "Are you feeling better? Are you still feeling unwell?"

After hearing Lin Mowan's comforting words, the old lady's crying eased a little, but she still sighed and muttered to herself: "It's been so many years, and there's no movement in her stomach. I can't guarantee that she won't lay eggs."

When Jiang Wenqing married Gongshu Tingyue, the old woman knew of Lin Yirou's existence, but she only knew that she was a girl from Yuxianglou and didn't know who she was specifically.

She couldn't say any more and covered her face and cried bitterly.

Of course, these were all told to her by Liu Yinghong herself, so no one in this family was innocent.

Even in this situation, he still felt at ease using the money Lin Yirou earned from performing arts, and never mentioned it or asked about it afterwards.

Her voice was very low when she said this, but Lin Mowan still heard it. So, the old woman actually knew about Hanyan a long time ago, but she just didn't say it out loud.

Lin Mowan was filled with contempt. The old woman was also responsible for the sins committed by the Jiang family. When Jiang Wenqing and Lin Yirou fell in love at first sight, she was against it and despised Lin Yirou's identity.

As she thought about it, the coldness in her eyes could hardly be hidden. She could only lower her eyelids silently to cover it. After quickly adjusting her mood, she held the old lady's hand and said, "Don't worry, old lady. Didn't Daddy marry the third concubine? The third concubine is young and will definitely give birth to another boy for the Jiang family."

The old lady shook her head, her face was pale, and she had lost a lot of weight. She coughed a few times, sighed, and began to complain to Lin Mowan: "Awan, what sin did our Jiang family commit? Why are they all like this... like this..."

She only shut up when she knew that Lin Yirou had given money to help Jiang Wenqing and her. However, she never mentioned the matter of marrying him in a formal way. She just kept asking Jiang Wenqing to ask Lin Yirou for money.

It seems that this old woman has been trying to smooth things over in many of these matters.

Lin Mowan lowered her eyes, trying her best to hide the smile that was rising in her eyes.

But at this moment, Qiu He came in from outside in a hurry. Because she was in a hurry, she almost fell down, but she didn't care about that and hurried to the old lady. At this time, both of them focused their attention on her. The old lady was even more displeased and scolded softly: "Why are you so impatient?"

Qiu He's face was a little flustered, and her eyes fell on Lin Mowan beside her. Lin Mowan looked at her suspiciously, as if waiting for her to speak.

Qiu He swallowed his saliva and said, "Something bad has happened, old lady. Eunuch Su, who is beside His Majesty, has personally brought people to invite Miss Lin to the palace."

Upon hearing this, the old lady's face changed immediately. They invited people into the palace for no reason, and it was a big shot around the emperor who came to invite them personally. Doesn't this mean that they are afraid that Lin Mowan will not go, so they want to take her away by force?

The old lady was stunned for two seconds before she reacted. She frowned and said, "Did Eunuch Su say anything?"

Qiu He shook his head, "No, I just asked Miss Lin to go with me. I also gave her some silver, but Eunuch Su refused to take it and insisted on taking Miss Lin with him."

After saying this, the old lady looked at Lin Mowan anxiously. It seemed that she was asking for Lin Mowan's opinion, but in fact she wanted to persuade her to go with him and not to implicate the Jiang family.

Of course, Lin Mowan had an idea in her mind. She knew what was going on, but she still had to pretend to be scared and embarrassed. "What should I do?"

After she said that, she looked at the old lady with a pleading look. Her pitiful appearance was enough to melt people's hearts. The old lady was a little soft-hearted, but facing such an unclear situation, she naturally didn't want to bring trouble to herself.

So, the old lady took Lin Mowan's hand and whispered, "Good child, His Majesty is wise and will not wrongly accuse you. You can go with peace of mind and don't worry about grandma."

She spoke sincerely, but took the opportunity to push Lin Mowan out. At this moment, the old lady guessed that her son was thinking about how to completely clear the Jiang family if Lin Mowan really did something wrong.

Lin Mowan resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and finally pretended to be scared and reluctant, looking back every few steps as she left.

Walking out of Hongbao Courtyard, he followed Qiuhe to the front hall. Inside the hall, Su Jing was sitting in the main seat drinking tea, and Xue Zhong was serving him, nodding and bowing.

At this time, Jiang Wenqing and Gongshu Tingyue were both in the palace. Apart from the old lady, the only person who had a say in the family was the old butler Xue Zhong.

Seeing Lin Mowan coming, Xue Zhong's face changed immediately, and he hurriedly motioned Lin Mowan to come in.

Lin Mowan stood at the door, pretending to be timid. After hesitating for a long time, she stepped in and knelt on the ground: "I am Lin Mowan, a commoner, and I am honored to meet you, Eunuch Su."

Hearing this, Su Jing moved his gaze from the tea bowl in his hand to her. He took a closer look with a hint of contempt and disdain in his eyes, and then he clicked his tongue lightly, which was regarded as his disgust for the kneeling person.

Lin Mowan just lowered her head and knelt on the ground without saying a word until Su Jing stood up and asked, "Are you Lin Mowan?"

His voice was shrill, with a feminine tone that a normal man didn't have. Lin Mowan nodded, still looking timid.

He didn't say anything else, but stood up, brushed his sleeves, looked down at her, and said, "Let's go. His Majesty wants to see you. This is a blessing you can't get in three lifetimes! How many people have never seen the emperor's face in their lifetime. Even if you die, you can rest in peace."
