Chapter 145 Lin Mowan is like a double-edged sword
But when you think about it, it seems to be right. She is just a concubine, and there seems to be no need to tell her about this kind of thing. When they set the wedding date, Shen Weiyuan will notify her.
That’s right, I didn’t discuss it with her, but informed her…
Ever since the news of Jiang Ruixue's request for imperial decree spread, the Jiang family seemed to have not been so lively for a long time. It was said that the old lady was seriously ill in bed, but after hearing the news, she was so happy that she drank two bowls of porridge in one meal.
Lin Mowan listened to Yuzhi quietly, stroking the teacup in her hand with an expressionless face. Yuzhi just sat aside, and after telling her the news she had found out, she just lowered her head and packed up her things.
For a moment, the room was so quiet that even the air seemed to be frozen, and the only sound was the crackling of burning charcoal.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door. The master and servant paused and looked at each other tacitly. Yuzhi got up to open the door, had a brief conversation with the person outside, and then turned back.
"Miss, it's the Third Aunt."
Yuzhi said this, as if waiting for her answer, whether to let Hanyan in.
At this time, Lin Mowan, after a brief guess, was already 70% sure about Hanyan's arrival.
"Let her in."
As Lin Mowan finished speaking, Yuzhi turned around and invited the person in.
Hanyan was helped into the house by the maid, and sat down next to Lin Mowan. Lin Mowan hurriedly said, "Look at you. It's so cold. If you have something to say, why don't you just ask the maid to pass it on? Why do you have to run here in person? What if you get cold?"
On the surface, she still cared about Hanyan and the child. While she was talking, she had already picked up the teapot and poured her a cup of hot water, "Hurry up and drink some hot tea to warm yourself up."
Hanyan had a smile on her face and said thank you, but she had no intention of touching the cup of tea. Lin Mowan could see that she was on guard, but she didn't expose it. She just said, "Third Aunt is so anxious to curse me, is there something wrong?"
Seeing Lin Mowan asking, Hanyan's face relaxed, as if she had seized the opportunity to change the subject. She quickly dismissed the maid who was waiting on her. After the door was closed and only the two of them were left in the room, she said, "You and I are old acquaintances. I won't keep you in suspense."
As she spoke, her tone paused slightly. Lin Mowan lowered her eyes and listened attentively. She lowered her voice again and said, "You really don't think Jiang Ruixue's marriage is a bad idea?"
Sure enough, when Lin Mowan heard this, a hint of sneer flashed in her eyes. It was just as she had guessed. It seemed that Lin Mowan was not the only one who didn't want Jiang Ruixue's good thing to come true.
But now, facing Hanyan's question, Lin Mowan just smiled and said, "What's wrong with that? If this marriage goes through, it will be a great help to the Jiang family or Jiang Wenqing."
Lin Mowan looked at her with probing eyes, not wanting to miss any emotion on Hanyan's face. Hanyan frowned: "Don't forget, when the mother and daughter are seated firmly, the first ones to be dealt with will be you and me."
As she spoke, even her eyes became sharper. Lin Mowan naturally understood the pros and cons of this, but she just remained silent, waiting for Hanyan to speak.
Seeing that she was unmoved, Hanyan immediately became anxious: "Have you forgotten that you were the one who asked me to do that thing at Qingqiu Temple? What if the truth comes out?"
Lin Mowan smiled, looking nonchalant, and said, "So, are you going to report me?" Hanyan's face changed when she heard that, and she denied it immediately, "Of course not, I just want to remind you that they must not live. Even if they live, they can only be trampled under our feet, otherwise, you and I will never have peace!"
Lin Mowan naturally knew what she said, but now she couldn't completely trust the person in front of her. She lowered her eyes leisurely and said, "I don't care anyway. So many people testified for me that day. It wasn't me who pushed her."
Upon hearing Lin Mowan's words, Hanyan's expression changed: "What do you mean?" She had a bad feeling in her heart. Could it be that this person wanted to break the contract at this time?
Lin Mowan said, "It's nothing. I just want to tell Third Aunt that I helped you get to this position, and I can naturally help you get down from this position. I know much more than you think."
After she said that, she raised her eyelids slightly with a smile on her face, but her eyes were full of cold warning. Hanyan looked at her and her heart sank to the bottom.
Lin Mowan didn't plan to waste time talking to her, she just said: "Don't worry, Third Aunt, we are still in a cooperative relationship, so I will find a way to deal with Jiang Ruixue's matter, you don't need to worry."
With Lin Mowan's promise, Hanyan's heart stabilized a little. After a moment of silence, she seemed to think of something. After a little hesitation, she asked, "So, what is your relationship with Mr. Shen?"
Lin Mowan didn't say anything, just smiled calmly and said, "It's not important, and it's not something you can ask. I can give you what you want, and that's enough, isn't it?"
Facing Lin Mowan's brilliant smile, Hanyan felt a chill on her back and swallowed involuntarily. Lin Mowan lowered her eyes and asked her thoughtfully, "Third Aunt, don't you have anything else to tell me?"
Hearing this, Hanyan was puzzled and frowned. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head at Lin Mowan's inquiring eyes, but she began to feel inexplicably uneasy in her heart.
"That's fine." Lin Mowan seemed relieved and joked, "You came to me suddenly, and I thought you had discovered something incredible so we had to discuss it together. It seems I thought too much."
After she said that, she turned around and picked up the little Sanhua that had been nuzzling against her for a long time, put it on her lap and gently tickled its chin, and it purred comfortably.
Hanyan looked at him and didn't say anything else. She felt like she was breaking out in a cold sweat after being stared at just now, and almost thought that she had exposed something.
Seeing that Lin Mowan had no intention of asking further questions, Hanyan slowly breathed a sigh of relief and reminded, "Miss Lin, Jiang Ruixue's matter is not a trivial matter. I hope it can be resolved as you said."
"Of course." Lin Mowan smiled and said no more.
After the two of them had agreed on the matter, Hanyan didn't want to stay any longer, so she left first, using the excuse that she had other things to do. For some reason, Hanyan always felt that every time she was with Lin Mowan, she always felt scared and panicked.
They each had their own secrets, so she didn't need to be afraid, after all, no one was a good person. But she didn't know if it was her illusion, she always felt that although Lin Mowan looked gentle and docile, she was actually quite cruel in her bones.
Otherwise, many things that require ruthlessness are impossible for ordinary people to do. Therefore, she also understands that to her, Lin Mowan is like a double-edged sword, and she will hurt herself if she is not careful.
After seeing Hanyan off, Lin Mowan thought she could have some peace and quiet for a while, but the weather was not good and there were a lot of visitors today.
Not long after Hanyan left, Yuzhi came to report that Jiang Yanran and Baiyun were here...
