The concubine is soft and delicate, making her the treacherous minister's white moonlight

Chapter 138 He Actually Cares About You
Jiang Wenqing didn't say anything when he heard this, but his face looked a little ugly. The old lady thought that Jiang Wenqing felt sorry for Lin Mowan, so she quickly pulled his hand and said, "There is no such thing as free food in this world. She is an orphan, without a father or a mother. It is a great favor for us to take her in."

"Do you think we should treat her like Rui Jieer? You better be more careful. Although I love her, I can't let her ride on our shoulders and act wildly. The princess was confined to her house because of Sister Wan's lack of sense."

In the old lady's heart, even though she knew that Lin Mowan was innocent and that she was just trying to prove her innocence, she had to know that Gongshu Tingyue was the most favored Princess Zhaohe back then.

If Gongshu Tingyue now falls out with the royal family because of this matter, it means that the preferential treatment that the Jiang family currently receives because of Gongshu Tingyue will disappear.

When it comes to her own interests, the old lady naturally becomes dissatisfied with Lin Mowan.

Facing the old lady's advice, Jiang Wenqing remained silent. She didn't know that Jiang Wenqing didn't feel sorry for Lin Mowan, but was afraid that Lin Mowan would do something to the old lady again.

But he couldn't say it directly now, he had no evidence, and he couldn't expose Lin Mowan's background, otherwise, he would also be ruined and have nothing.

Jiang Wenqing sighed, and finally said in a heavy tone: "Mother, don't worry, your son has his own destiny in his heart. You just need to take care of yourself and wait to hold your big fat grandson."

Upon hearing this, the smile on the old lady's face returned instantly. Although her face was still pale, when she heard Jiang Wenqing say that he would give her another fat grandson, a smile reached her eyes.

Lin Mowan heard everything that was said in the room, but she didn't care. She just smiled faintly and handed the medicine bowl in her hand to Yuzhi beside her. She raised her hand and knocked on the door as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Wenqing didn't say anything. He looked at Lin Mowan with eyes full of disgust and vigilance, but he seemed to think of what had happened before. In the end, he said nothing and just turned his face away silently.

Lin Mowan walked to the bed, and the old lady took Lin Mowan's hand warmly as usual, and asked her to sit on the bed affectionately, with a look of relief in her eyes when she looked at her.

Finally, the old lady smiled and greeted Lin Mowan with a pale face and weakly: "It's okay, you came at the right time, come and sit down."

Lin Mowan pushed the door open and walked in. When she looked up and saw Jiang Wenqing, the surprise on her face was just right. She pretended to be unaware and then smiled gently: "I didn't know my father was here, so I came here rashly. I hope I didn't disturb you?"

Lin Mowan also smiled gently and shyly, and walked into the house. Yuzhi, who was beside her, put the medicine bowl in her hand aside, greeted her, and turned to leave.

The noise inside stopped abruptly. There was silence for a few seconds. No response was received. Lin Mowan knocked again slowly. After a long time, Jiang Wenqing's voice came: "Come in."

As she spoke, she smiled kindly, as if the words she had just said to Jiang Wenqing not to feel sorry for her were said by someone else.

She said, "Thank you for your hard work. You even personally went to make medicine for this old lady. Are you tired?"

Facing the concern in her eyes, Lin Mowan smiled soothingly, "I'm not tired. This is what I should do. It's just boiling some medicine. It's not a difficult task. As long as the old lady can get better soon, it'll be fine."

Listening to Lin Mowan's words, the old lady smiled with relief. When she turned to look at Jiang Wenqing, a hint of pride flashed in her eyes, as if to say, "See, this is how she is made to be devoted to me." Lin Mowan silently lowered her eyes, pretending not to care. She turned around and picked up the medicine bowl beside her, carefully scooped up a small spoonful, blew it, and brought it to the old lady's mouth, saying softly, "Old lady, let's drink the medicine first, it will be cold soon."

"Wait!"

The old lady was about to open her mouth when Jiang Wenqing beside her suddenly slammed the table and stood up. Lin Mowan paused and carefully withdrew her hand that was feeding her the medicine. She turned to look at him almost at the same time as the old lady.

She looked suspicious, as if she didn't understand why Jiang Wenqing wanted to stop, and the old lady naturally meant the same thing.

But when Jiang Wenqing looked at Lin Mowan, the expression on his face was extremely alert. It was no exaggeration to say that if someone didn't know, they would think that Lin Mowan had fed the old lady some poison.

After a moment of silence, Lin Mowan naturally understood the meaning of his expression, so she gently put down the medicine bowl in her hand and said helplessly: "I understand. If father thinks that I have tampered with this medicine, why not find someone to test it."

As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Wenqing with an extremely serious and determined look: "This medicine is the prescription written by the doctor you hired that day. The prescription is also in my hand. If you are really worried, take the medicine residue, this bowl of medicine, and the prescription in my hand to test it together."

After Lin Mowan finished speaking, there was no trace of guilt in her calm eyes. Jiang Wenqing then reacted and seemed to realize that he had just lost his composure. He hurriedly concealed the emotions that shouldn't be in his eyes and coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment.

He sat down awkwardly, and the old lady also hurriedly tried to smooth things over. She rolled her eyes at Jiang Wenqing, sighed, and said, "You just like to be suspicious. Miss Lin has been taking care of me wholeheartedly these days. If it weren't for her, I don't know how I would live."

After that, she turned around again, took Lin Mowan's hand and comforted her: "Good child, you must not be angry with him. Your father has been too busy in recent days, and many things have happened, so he is suspicious of you. In fact, he still cares about you very much."

As she spoke, Jiang Wenqing sat there and seemed to have reacted. He looked a little uneasy, but still explained: "Yes, Awan, I was wrong about what happened before. I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a father."

When he said this, there was actually a hint of guilt on his face, and it really didn't look fake. Was he apologizing for what happened before, or for abandoning her and her daughter?
Really interesting.

Lin Mowan smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She lowered her eyelids to hide the cruelty that flashed across her eyes, and her face still looked like a docile and gullible little white rabbit.

She said, "It doesn't matter. I haven't cared about it for a long time. I lost my family when I was young. If it weren't for the Second Master, I would have been dead in the wilderness by now. I don't know how old I am. I am lucky to be in the Jiang family. I have family and things to care about. Naturally, I won't be so picky about those little things."

This is probably the enemy the old lady wants.

Sure enough, after listening to Lin Mowan's words, the old lady was satisfied and relieved. She held Lin Mowan's hand and kept praising her. Jiang Wenqing's expression eased slightly.

Lin Mowan picked up the bowl of medicine again, hesitated for a moment, and said, "If father is really worried, let's find someone to test it, so as to avoid any gossip in the future."

As she spoke, Lin Mowan had already placed the medicine in her hand in front of Jiang Wenqing. Jiang Wenqing opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, it was as if something was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
