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

Chapter 14 Let Him Take You in as His Concubine
Lin Mowan curled her lips calmly and followed in calmly. As soon as she stepped into the door, she heard the old lady anxiously say, "Why don't you go find it quickly!"

The servant was startled by the scolding and lowered his head even more. He quickly took the order and trotted out.

Lin Mowan glanced at the servant who left in a hurry, turned back without expression, stepped forward and bowed to greet him. After being excused from the formalities and sitting down, she asked with a worried and puzzled look on her face: "Madam, what happened?"

The old lady wanted to talk but stopped, and after several sighs, she couldn't say anything. Lin Mowan was not in a hurry. She stood up and poured her tea, handed it to her, and comforted her softly: "Old lady, don't be angry, take care of yourself, father and mother are here for you."

That's right, Jiang Wenqing and Gongshu Tingyue are both ruthless people. There is nothing in this world that they can't solve.

Finally, the old lady sighed heavily and said, "Youxi is getting more and more unreasonable! He sneaked out of the house again last night and disappeared. He hasn't come back this morning!"

As she spoke, the anger on her face did not diminish. Lin Mowan lowered her eyes calmly. Jiang Youxi might want to come back now, but if he left on his own, he might not be able to come back.

Thinking of this, Lin Mowan smiled, her eyes moved, and a trace of worry appeared on her face. Then she comforted the old lady: "The eldest young master is not a child anymore. Although he has some youthful mentality, he is also a man who can distinguish right from wrong. He will never make any mistakes. Maybe he went out to play. When he is tired, he will come back."

After listening to Lin Mowan's comforting words, the old lady's expression obviously improved a lot. Although she knew Jiang Youxi's character better than Lin Mowan, he was the eldest son of the Jiang family after all, and face was still very important. Even if he was indeed wrong, she would not allow outsiders to say a word against him.

Lin Mowan knew what this family was thinking. Everyone knew whether he was a person who could distinguish right from wrong. No matter what kind of useless person he was, she just had to say something nice about him.

Sure enough, the old lady pondered for a moment, then sighed helplessly, holding Lin Mowan's hand intimately, as if she was going to say something from the bottom of her heart. She said, "Thank goodness you came. I, an old woman, had one foot in the coffin, but now I am coaxed by you and can live a few more days. Unlike those useless people who always get angry with me."

Lin Mowan smiled and said, "The old lady is a blessed person. She will live a long life, so she must not say discouraging words."

After saying that, the old lady smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. She said yes repeatedly. Finally, she put away the smile on her face and suddenly became serious. She held Lin Mowan's hand tightly. There was no one around. She said: "Child, tell grandma honestly, do you really like to have a feast in my house?"

Lin Mowan looked at her, and the expression on her face froze for a moment, but she quickly reacted and smiled. Without waiting for her to reply, the old lady continued, "If you really like my family, let him take you in as a concubine, so as to avoid gossip from others."

Lin Mowan said nothing, just looked at her with a smile. Before Lin Mowan could speak, the servant who was delivering the message outside rushed in in a hurry, almost tripping over the door frame. He knelt in front of the old lady, looking terrified: "He's back... He's back, old lady. The young master is back."

The old lady was startled for a moment, then looked at the servant with some doubt, then looked outside the door, but she didn't see Jiang Youxi. She immediately got angry and put the matter of the concubine behind her: "Where is he? Didn't he come back?"

The servant knelt on the ground, hesitating for a long time before he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "It was... it was carried back by the guards of Yuxiang Tower."

Just hearing this one sentence made the old lady's heart skip a beat and she almost fainted. You know, not long ago, someone broke her leg for no apparent reason and she almost had her tongue cut off.

Afterwards, the Jiang family naturally sent people to investigate, but there was no news. The person who put Jiang Youxi in a sack that night seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and could not be found no matter how hard they looked.

Jiang Wenqing was impeached the next day, and the emperor reprimanded him in front of all the civil and military officials. He was smart, and when he saw that something was wrong, he knew that the other party's power was far greater than his own. Why they didn't come openly was unknown, but if he continued to investigate, the Jiang family would definitely not escape, so he could only give up. The old lady must have known these things, and now that she knew that Jiang Youxi was carried back, she suppressed her anger and asked again: "Is it a broken arm or a broken leg this time?"

The servant looked at Lin Mowan with embarrassment, then looked at the old lady, his eyes moving back and forth between the two for a long time. The angry old lady swung the cane in her hand and threw it over, hitting the servant. The old lady stamped her feet anxiously: "Why don't you say something! Are you mute?!"

Lin Mowan knew what had happened, but she had to act her part. She turned her head and looked at the boy kneeling on the ground with anxious and accusing eyes, and said sternly, "What are you standing there for? Come back and tell me, do you want to make the old lady worry?"

The servant still looked embarrassed when he heard this, but he could not stand the attack of the two. He lowered his head and said hurriedly: "The legs and hands are not injured, it's... it's... gone, the vitals, gone..."

After these words were spoken, even though the boy's words were vague, the old lady thought for two seconds, and seemed not to have realized what he meant. Lin Mowan did not say anything either, but just sat quietly by the side, observing the old lady's stiff expression.

Not long after, the old lady, who seemed to have just reacted, stood up from the chair abruptly. Her legs and waist no longer hurt, and she no longer needed a cane to walk. She rushed over and grabbed the boy's clothes, "What? What did you say is gone?!"

"Life...Life..."

As the servant spoke, he was obviously frightened by the old lady's face which turned pale in an instant. He didn't even finish the three words before his legs became weak and he could not stand.

The old lady stared at him, her brain seemed to explode, and finally her eyes rolled back and she fainted. Fortunately, Lin Mowan was quick-witted and prepared first. She rushed over and caught her the moment she fell.

His servant knelt on the ground, his legs and feet weak from fear. Lin Mowan scolded him, "Are you still standing there? Go get someone and call a doctor!"

Upon hearing that, the servant hurriedly knelt and crawled to look for someone. Lin Mowan stayed in the hall, looking at the old lady who had fainted in her arms. Thinking about what the servant had just said, she felt a sense of pleasure of revenge in her heart.

Soon, the old lady was carried to the bed by several strong maids. After the doctor came to check on her, she woke up soon. Lin Mowan stayed by her bedside.

The old lady slowly woke up, muttering: "Xi Ge'er, my Xi Ge'er..."

Although it was a little unclear, Lin Mowan was close enough to hear it clearly. She hurried forward, held the old lady's hand, and sincerely comforted her: "Old lady, don't worry. We have already invited the best doctor in the city to see the eldest master. The doctor is very skilled, and he will definitely be fine."

As if she heard Lin Mowan's words, the old lady's confused mind began to become clear. She lay on the bed, turned her head woodenly and looked at Lin Mowan beside her. Their eyes met. Lin Mowan didn't say anything, but the old lady stared at his pale face and struggled to get up from the bed.

Seeing this, Qiu He, who was waiting on the side, hurried forward to support her and helped her sit up, but she held Lin Mowan's hand tightly and refused to let go, as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw.

Lin Mowan just smiled all the time, as docile as a little lamb. Although the old lady was a sickly person, her reaction ability was not bad at all. She said with tears in her eyes: "Wan'er, Xi Ge'er has a hard life. In the future, you will be the only one willing to accompany him. If even you are not willing..."
