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

Chapter 139: Betrayal is only zero times and countless times
After a long time, the old lady began to urge: "I've already said, there's no need to test, I don't believe that Sister Wan can harm me."

As she spoke, she glared at Jiang Wenqing fiercely.

Jiang Wenqing seemed to be in the wrong, and he pulled the corner of his mouth reluctantly, saying, "Maybe I was overthinking and misunderstood you. I'm sorry."

He looked as if he was truly repenting, and he looked depressed and lost. Lin Mowan's face darkened, and for a moment she had no idea what he was up to.

She didn't respond for a long time, but Jiang Wenqing stood up, sighed heavily, and said, "Okay, I have something else to do. Awan, you stay with grandma and give her the medicine. I'll come back later."

Lin Mowan lowered her eyes and said nothing, just silently watched him walk out of the room.

The room suddenly became quiet. Lin Mowan thought about the look Jiang Wenqing gave her when he turned around before leaving. She felt guilty, distressed, and hesitant to speak. She suddenly felt a little bitter in her heart.

It was not until she heard the old lady coughing that Lin Mowan suddenly came back to her senses. She quickly calmed down and picked up the medicine bowl again...

After helping the old lady drink the medicine, Lin Mowan did not leave immediately, but chatted with her. When she was bored, she did some embroidery, and the old lady quite enjoyed it.

When Lin Mowan left, the sun had already set. Seeing that the weather had been getting cooler recently, the wind was already a little chilly before it got completely dark.

Yuzhi went back to get the cloak in advance, and as soon as Lin Mowan came out of the house, she carefully put it on her. She turned around and looked at Yuzhi. The master and servant made eye contact, and Yuzhi instantly understood what she meant.

On the way back, until they were far away from Hongbao Courtyard and close to their own courtyard, Yuzhi spoke softly, in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "In the evening, Doctor Hong from Jingshui Street came. Xue Zhong went alone to invite him. He came in through the back door and went directly to the pharmacy. He must have gone to test the old lady's medicine."

After she said that, she quietly stepped back a certain distance. Lin Mowan just lowered her eyes and didn't say anything. The glimmer of hope that had just risen in her heart was instantly shattered.

She had never had any expectations of Jiang Wenqing in the first place, and she certainly didn't come back for that ridiculous father-daughter relationship.

But sometimes, she would still feel inexplicably irritated and fearful, especially when she saw Jiang Wenqing just now, who seemed to be truly repentant, her heart would still abruptly ache.

In fact, she knew very well in her heart that even if she wanted to, even if Jiang Wenqing really repented in the end, she would not let him go. After all, there are only zero times and countless times of betrayal, but killing him is a sure thing.

But her overflowing sentimentality constantly reminded her of the only ethereal warmth she had in her childhood, which she always wanted. However, her sober and rational mind told her that things were different now, and she would always be a thorn in Jiang Wenqing's side.

Sure enough, reason was right, and he still asked someone to test the medicine.

He never thought that he was wrong. His current compromise was just a helpless act. Even if he could outsmart Lin Mowan, he would not be unhappy at all today.

Thinking of this, Lin Mowan exhaled heavily, stepped into the yard, pushed the door and walked into the room. Little Sanhua was sitting at the entrance, looking up and meowing at her.

Lin Mowan reached out and picked it up. Although it still had a lot of fat on its body, it was much better than before when it was so round that it was almost impossible to hold. It seemed that controlling its food intake was effective.

She walked into the house holding Xiao Sanhua, and Yuzhi followed behind her, carefully closed the door, and followed her into the house.

Sitting in the house, Lin Mowan stroked her fur and asked, "How is Jiang Ruixue doing?"

Yuzhi answered while making tea: "After Princess Zhaohe was put into solitary confinement, Jiang Ruixue was sent to the palace. I heard that she went to accompany the Queen Mother. She didn't say when she would be back."

Lin Mowan took the tea handed to her by Yuzhi, thoughtful but silent. She could probably guess what Gongshu Tingyue was thinking. She probably knew that Jiang Ruixue couldn't fight with her with her brain, so she followed the principle of hiding if she couldn't beat him and sent him to the palace. In this way, she couldn't see him, so Lin Mowan naturally couldn't do anything.

"Where's Hanyan?" Lin Mowan asked again. Yuzhi answered truthfully: "I haven't seen her do anything big recently, but our people often see her sneaking out in the middle of the night to deliver things to Princess Zhaohe."

"What is that?" Lin Mowan's eyes were slightly cold.

"It's all food."

Yuzhi's tone was full of confusion as she spoke. Lin Mowan also frowned. Logically speaking, even if she was put in solitary confinement, the Jiang family would never dare to treat her harshly for the sake of Uncle Yanyu's face. They shouldn't have to ask someone to send her food in the middle of the night.

While thinking, Lin Mowan asked again: "Did she send any news?"

"No." Yuzhi shook her head.

While Lin Mowan was confused, she also understood that Hanyan was not completely reliable. To be precise, they were the same and had not told each other the truth.

Therefore, sending food is definitely not as simple as sending food...

As the days passed, on the surface, everything seemed calm and peaceful, without any disturbance.

The weather is getting colder day by day, and in the blink of an eye, autumn is coming to an end. In the early mornings and evenings of early winter, the occasional wind feels like thorns and hurts the flesh.

Three months later, the news spread that Hanyan was pregnant. Jiang Wenqing was so happy that the servants who served Hanyan received a lot of rewards.

The next day, taking advantage of the good weather, Lin Mowan sat for a while after helping the old lady take her medicine, then left on the pretext of visiting Hanyan.

Ever since Jiang Wenqing took her in as his wife, he also gave her a small courtyard. Although it is not as good as Gong Shu Tingyue and Tong Yuhua's, it is still quite impressive.

When Lin Mowan arrived, Hanyan was chatting and eating snacks with a few servants. When she raised her eyes, she saw Lin Mowan standing at the gate, and the bright smile on her face froze.

The confused crowd followed her gaze and looked over. In an instant, the small courtyard, which was originally quite lively, suddenly became quiet.

After a brief and awkward silence, Lin Mowan smiled somewhat self-reproachfully: "I'm so sorry to bother you all. I'm here to visit the Third Aunt."

As she spoke, everyone came back to their senses. Without saying anything, they tactfully lowered their heads and left.

For a moment, Lin Mowan and Hanyan were the only ones left in the yard. Hanyan's face was obviously not very happy about Lin Mowan's uninvited visit.

Lin Mowan saw it all, but pretended not to notice it. She just called Yuzhi and said, "Bring the things up."

Yuzhi took the order and asked the maids and servants to bring the prepared things of all sizes into the yard, including gold and silver jewelry, ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, all of which Hanyan had never seen before.

Looking at these few things listed, Hanyan's eyes widened, almost popping out of her head. She was a little surprised: "What is this?"

Lin Mowan just smiled: "You are pregnant now, so of course you need to use something good, after all..."

As she spoke, her eyes fell on Hanyan's still flat belly.
