Chapter 137: Just Pretend This Never Happened
For a long time, Lin Mowan couldn't think of what to say next, until Xue Zhong took the medicine and walked up to remind Lin Mowan that it was time to leave.
Lin Mowan didn't move, and seemed to want to say something, but couldn't find the right words for a moment. Seeing this, Gongshu Beicheng suddenly spoke up, teasingly saying: "You don't have to take it to heart. To be honest, this plan is dangerous. I am more worried about you than myself. If you are not careful, your innocence will be ruined. It's not easy for a girl to be like this. Don't do this next time."
When he said this, his eyes were full of worry and concern for Lin Mowan. Lin Mowan was inevitably moved. She glanced at him and asked, "Your Highness, aren't you curious?"
She looked at him, concentrating her eyes, trying to find the slightest flaw in his gentle expression, but he was only stunned for a moment before realizing that he was talking about the financial backer behind her.
Gongshu Beicheng is smart, so he should have thought of something. She didn't believe that he wasn't curious, but after waiting for a while, he still just smiled gently and said helplessly: "If you are willing to tell me, of course I am happy to listen, but if you don't want to, it doesn't matter, I won't force you, but you can come to Guangning Palace to find me if you have anything."
Lin Mowan looked at him, neither nodding nor shaking her head, but feeling complicated. In the end, she still said nothing, but just looked at him gratefully, then turned around and got into the carriage with Xue Zhong.
On the way back, she sat in the carriage, feeling somewhat uneasy. She knew that this was due to her guilt for having used Gongshu Beicheng. She closed her eyes, but her mind was filled with Gongshu Beicheng's gentle face...
At the same time, as he watched Lin Mowan's carriage completely disappear at the end of the street, the smile on Gongshu Beicheng's face gradually faded, and then Bai Zang emerged silently from the crowd.
"Young Master." She nodded slightly and waited on the side, waiting for Uncle Bei Cheng to speak.
Bai Zang gritted his teeth and said in a calm tone, "I asked people near Ziteng Garden. Apart from the Jiang family, only Second Master Shen went there frequently. I heard that Ziteng Garden was bought by Second Master Shen as a gift to her when he first started to support her."
When Gongshu Beicheng heard this, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and what was left was just indifference. He asked, "Is it done?"
Bai Zang lowered her head and did not answer immediately, but hearing Gongshu Beicheng's cold voice, she felt a little frightened, so she opened her mouth and couldn't help wanting to say something.
After she said that, Gongshu Beicheng's face couldn't help but darken a little. Although there was no clear answer, he should have understood it in his heart a long time ago.
From his angle, she could only see his profile, but from his eyes, which were completely different from usual, she seemed to read a look that he had never used on her before, and a strong feeling of discomfort surged from her heart.
"Sir, please give me a little more time." She said, "This matter is indeed a bit tricky. I have ordered people to investigate it with all their strength. There will definitely be results."
She lowered her eyes and tried to suppress the grievance in her heart as much as possible. After a long time, Uncle Bei Cheng asked again in a cold voice: "Where did you find out?"
Gongshu Beicheng didn't say anything, but just looked indifferently in the direction where Lin Mowan left. No one knew what he was thinking. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Bai Zang behind him raised his eyes cautiously and looked at him.
But he didn't understand, how could Gongshu Beicheng not see through such a simple thing? Or was he really deceived by Lin Mowan's trick?
It was really in vain that she had been scheming against others all her life, but in the end, she had to fall into the hands of a little girl. It was really karma.
"Sir, do we still need to continue investigating?" Bai Zang asked. Gongshu Beicheng lowered his eyes, sighed softly, and was silent for a moment before saying, "No need, go back, and pretend that this incident never happened."
Hearing this, Bai Zang just gritted his teeth silently, responded in a low voice, turned around and disappeared in the crowd. Gongshu Beicheng also turned around, just sighed softly, and turned around and disappeared in the crowd...
Lin Mowan took the medicine back to the Jiang family. Uncle Beicheng's words just now lingered in her mind like a curse. She was only focused on taking the medicine and walking forward, not noticing the movement behind her at all, until someone grabbed her arm, she suddenly came to her senses.
Their eyes met, seeing Yuzhi's worried and puzzled look, Lin Mowan was suspicious, but Yuzhi had already spoken: "Miss, are you okay?"
Lin Mowan quickly shook her head: "No, I'm fine, what's wrong?"
Yuzhi frowned, looked at the medicine in her hand, hesitated, raised her hand and pointed to the other side, and said, "The pharmacy is over there."
Hearing this, Lin Mowan suddenly realized something and a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face. She quickly took the medicine and went back. Yuzhi was still a little worried and hurriedly followed.
Seeing Lin Mowan's bad complexion, Yuzhi couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Miss, are you really okay?" Lin Mowan nodded, but her brows furrowed even deeper. Yuzhi paused and continued, "But you don't look too well."
Hearing this, Lin Mowan raised her hand and touched her face, sighed softly, and then comforted Yuzhi beside her: "It's okay, I'm fine, go and boil medicine for the old lady first."
When this was mentioned, Yuzhi's face became even uglier, but she couldn't say anything in front of Lin Mowan, so she could only take the medicine from her and said, "Let me go, you take a rest."
Lin Mowan didn't refuse, but still followed him to the pharmacy.
After a while, she calmed down a little and sent the prepared medicine to the old lady's yard.
Just after entering the yard and before entering the house, she heard the old lady coughing and the whispered voices coming from inside the house. Although she was not sure who it was, she still stopped as if possessed by a ghost.
Sure enough, the next moment, Jiang Wenqing's anxious voice came from inside: "Mother, why is your illness getting worse? That doctor is really a quack. I will get you a better one later."
The old lady stopped coughing, but still had some difficulty breathing. She comforted Jiang Wenqing: "Son, don't bother. I know this is a heart disease. Look at you now. You are the prime minister, but your family has few children. How can you be worthy of the ancestors of the Jiang family?"
Jiang Wenqing sighed, lowered his head and said nothing more. The old lady continued, "Hanyan looks young and healthy. She is a good fertile girl. You should let her give birth to a boy quickly. Otherwise, the Jiang family will fall into the hands of outsiders in the future."
Facing the old lady's words, Jiang Wenqing seemed a little helpless. After sighing uncontrollably, he said, "Mother, don't worry, your son will give you another big fat grandson as soon as possible."
After hearing this, the old lady seemed to be in a better mood. She lowered her voice and said earnestly, "Son, you are busy with official duties, so you don't have to come here every day. The child surnamed Lin will do all the work. After all, she lives in our house and has the title of Miss Jiang. It's her job to do it. You must not feel sorry for her."
