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

Chapter 143 What is the origin

Shen Weiyuan wanted to protect her, but the entire Dingbei Marquis Mansion was still shaky and had not yet completely stabilized its foundation. Her appearance at this time was tantamount to giving Shen Weiyuan a weak spot.

Thinking about it now, Shen Junchi could only sigh helplessly. His actions at that time were indeed a bit extreme, but it was also a helpless move.

Considering the mistress he had now, whom he was reluctant to bring back to the Marquis' Mansion at first, Shen Junchi thought that Shen Weiyuan was mad at him for sending Hua Rong away, and now he was frequently nagging him to pick a girl of equal status to marry.

But now thinking about it, Shen Weiyuan's attitude didn't seem like he was angry with him, and his attitude towards the mistress didn't seem like he was just playing around. Instead, he seriously protected her for three years.

This couldn't help but make Shen Junchi have a bad feeling in his heart, even though he had promised Shen Weiyuan that as long as he stabilized the Shen family's position in Sheng'an, Shen Junchi would not interfere too much in Shen Weiyuan's own affairs.

But now, he must find out what this mysterious outer room is...

Jiang family.

Ever since Hanyan became pregnant, she has been particularly particular about her diet and other aspects. Jiang Wenqing also takes it very seriously. The Jiang family seems to be looking forward to the arrival of this new life.

Winter is approaching and the weather is getting colder. Lin Mowan rarely goes out. When she has nothing to do, she stays in the house reading books or embroidering.

Jiang Yanran would come to visit from time to time, and the two of them would sit together to make tea. Lin Mowan would read a book, and she would sit beside her to make clothes. Occasionally, she would also write letters to the abbot who was far away in Qingqiu Temple. Their life was quite comfortable.

Not long after, the first snow of this winter came exceptionally early. It started to rain and snow on the night before the beginning of winter. When I got up in the morning, I didn't know when the ground outside was covered with a layer of white.

The snow had not yet fallen, but Jiang Yanran came to Feiqing Pavilion early to try on the jacket she had just made for Lin Mowan.

Looking at herself in the mirror wearing the coat made by Jiang Yanran, Lin Mowan felt a little warm in her heart: "How can this be good? I asked you to make clothes for me with your own hands."

As she spoke, she felt a little uneasy in her heart. Perhaps it was because she had never received such pure kindness before, and she always felt that she was not worthy of it.

Jiang Yanran smiled, also looking at Lin Mowan in the mirror, and said: "What's the big deal? Anyway, I have nothing to do. I can do it for one person or for two people. There is no difference."

Lin Mowan lowered her eyes and said nothing. Jiang Yanran looked carefully at the effect of the clothes on her body and was satisfied from the bottom of her heart: "Sister is beautiful, she looks good in anything she wears."

Lin Mowan was also amused by her words. She glared at her in a reproachful manner and said, "You are so sweet-mouthed, as if you were covered in honey."

As they talked, they smiled at each other, and Jiang Yanran said, "The sleeves still don't fit properly. Take them off quickly and I'll adjust them."

After trying on clothes, the two sat by the fireplace and chatted. Jiang Yanran was modifying the clothes, while Lin Mowan was sitting nearby reading a book. Xiao Sanhua was lying next to the fireplace, sleeping soundly.

The snow outside was getting heavier, but it was warm inside. At this moment, there was a knock on the door from outside, and the person who came in was Yuzhi.

She breathed, stood at the entrance and shook off the snow on her body, walked into the house quickly, and whispered something in Lin Mowan's ear. Lin Mowan's expression froze for a moment. After a slight hesitation, she just waved her hand, signaling Yuzhi to leave. Yuzhi naturally did not stay any longer, and went out and closed the door again, as if she had never been there.

Seeing the change in Lin Mowan's expression, Jiang Yanran was a little worried: "Sister Wan, what happened?"

Hearing this, Lin Mowan was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. I just heard that Gongshu Tingyue is ill, and it seems to be quite serious. The people around him have almost spread the news to the palace."

As soon as these words came out, a trace of worry flashed across Jiang Yanran's face, "Your Majesty and Dad won't let her out like this, right?"

Lin Mowan remained silent and did not say anything. Although Gongshu Yanyu might not lift her house arrest so soon, Gongshu Tingyue's trick this time must be to get out.

Lin Mowan was thinking, and Jiang Yanran seemed to have thought of something and said, "By the way, Sister Wan, I heard something."

She paused slightly, and Lin Mowan looked up at her. She hesitated for a moment before she said, "I heard about it, too. I don't know if it's true, but I heard that the Queen Mother intends to marry my sister to Mr. Shen."

After she said that, Lin Mowan's heart sank for some reason, and then she was overwhelmed by an uncontrollable murderous intent, and even the gentle expression on her face gradually faded.

As if she also sensed the coolness emanating from Lin Mowan, Jiang Yanran felt a chill down her spine. She hurriedly emphasized again, "I just heard about it, Sister Wan, you don't have to take it too seriously. It's not certain yet. Even if the Queen Mother grants the marriage, Master Shen must give his approval."

That's true. According to the current strength of the Beiding Marquis' Mansion, even if it is Gongshu Yanyu, matters like a marriage arrangement have to be considered carefully. Putting aside the other party's family background, it will only be possible if Shen Weiyuan nods and has no objection.

Lin Mowan thought about it, her eyes narrowed slightly, and the coldness in her heart was mostly dissipated. But when she thought about Jiang Yanran's words, Lin Mowan's alarm bells suddenly rang again. After careful consideration, she always felt that Jiang Yanran knew something.

She slowly raised her eyes, her gaze fell on Jiang Yanran's face as she was carefully modifying her clothes, and asked tentatively: "Why do you think I care if Jiang Ruixue marries Shen Weiyuan?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ruixue paused, blinked her big eyes as if in some strange way, raised her head, and her confused gaze met Lin Mowan's.

She put down the work in her hands and thought for a moment, then said, "Actually, I think that Sister Wan seems to have a good relationship with Second Master Shen, but her relationship with Sister is not good. If she marries Second Master, our lives may become even more difficult in the future."

As she spoke, she seemed to have foreseen that she would be suppressed and bullied by Gongshu Tingyue again in the future. After all, if this marriage really went through, Shen Weiyuan would become Gongshu Tingyue's son-in-law in the future. Wouldn't that make her so proud that she would not even take them seriously?

After listening to Jiang Yanran's explanation, Lin Mowan lowered her eyes in understanding, and the big stone that had just hung in her heart finally fell to the ground.

She didn't say anything else, just picked up the book in her hand and gently turned the pages. At this moment, she had no more thoughts, and Jiang Yanran's words just now were still lingering in her mind...

The day Gongshu Tingyue was released happened to be the winter solstice. According to the secret guards who were secretly monitoring Hanyan, the day before the winter solstice, Hanyan secretly went to Jiang Wenqing's study and stayed there for the whole day, not allowing anyone to approach her. No one knew what they said.

When Jiang Wenqing personally helped her out of the study, it was already late. It had been snowing for a long time in the past few days. When it was finally sunny, Jiang Wenqing personally accompanied Hanyan for a walk in his own garden.

After that night, Gongshu Tingyue was released early the next morning. In fact, it was obvious that this matter was related to Hanyan.
