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

Chapter 149: Just a few words to get it back

She asked knowingly, and her tone was sincere. As expected, it seemed that this was exactly what Gongshu Tingyue wanted. Gongshu Tingyue hesitated for a moment, and with a look of relief on her face, she said: "It's nothing, actually. I just wanted to come over to see you, but..."

As she spoke, she deliberately prolonged the last syllable, as if there was another deeper meaning behind her words. Lin Mowan was not in a hurry, but just looked at her with confused eyes, as if she was waiting for the next words very seriously.

Gongshu Tingyue certainly didn't let her down. He just paused for a moment, then changed to a serious look and continued, "I saw you working so hard just now. It must be very tiring. How about this? I am more adept at doing these jobs than you are. This way you don't have to be too tired, right?"

She looked at Lin Mowan with expectation, even a hint of pleading, but Lin Mowan just looked at her with a smile in her eyes. After a long time, she smiled contemptuously at her nervous gaze.

Seeing this, the smile on Gongshu Tingyue's face froze, and an unprecedented sense of shame surged into her heart. She had never been someone who could endure grievances, but this time, she had to take back control of the Jiang family's shop, which was half of the Jiang family's lifeline.

What's more, there are secrets in those account books that cannot be known to others, so she must get them back no matter what.

Obviously, Lin Mowan had anticipated this. At the last second when Gongshu Tingyue was about to lose the smile on his face, she slowly said, "Actually, I don't feel tired, ma'am."

Lin Mowan's words seemed to be telling Gongshu Tingyue directly that she would not hand it over. This made Gongshu Tingyue very angry, and the smile on his face froze instantly.

Lin Mowan's smile became brighter. She turned around and pretended to break free from Gong Shu Tingyue's hand. She lowered her eyes and whispered, "Madam, please don't blame me. I am naturally dumb. If I have made you unhappy, just think that I did it unintentionally."

Gongshu Tingyue looked at her and was speechless for a moment. She knew very well that Lin Mowan was not the dumbest person, it all depended on whether she was willing to speak sweetly or not. After all, she had used a lot of words to coax the old lady before.

Gongshu Tingyue was feeling a little upset. Beating around the bush like this was really not her style. However, she needed to conserve her energy and not start a big fight, so she just swallowed her anger.

Just as she was thinking about what she could say to get Lin Mowan to return the ownership, Lin Mowan suddenly took the initiative to speak: "If Madam wants to take these account books and seals back, it's not impossible. After all, they didn't belong to me in the first place."

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed across Gongshu Tingyue's originally cruel eyes, but it was only fleeting and was replaced by suspicion. She didn't believe that Lin Mowan would be so kind.

But Lin Mowan said nothing in the face of her inquiring gaze. She just closed the account book silently, put the book in her hand on the other side, and stood up to sort out the other account books on the table.

Gongshu Tingyue was puzzled, but Lin Mowan said, "I will sort out the books I have read and the books I have not read in the past few days, and then I will ask Yuzhi to find a few people to send them to Madam's courtyard. These are the most important account books, Madam, please take good care of them."

Gongshu Tingyue looked at her suspiciously and wanted to answer immediately, but was always worried that there might be something wrong. Just as she was briefly hesitant, Lin Mowan finished speaking, and as if she hadn't heard the other party's response for a long time, she looked up at her suspiciously.

When their eyes met, a trace of surprise flashed across Gongshu Tingyue's eyes, and then she quickly recovered to normal, and then she subconsciously stood up. She stroked her sleeves and turned away to hide her embarrassment. Lin Mowan just lowered her eyes and smiled softly: "Madam, don't worry, if I was really interested in the Jiang family's property, would there be a day when you were released?"

She was clearly smiling when she said this, and used a joking tone and manner, but it made people inexplicably creepy. Gongshu Tingyue couldn't help but frown and return to her usual indifferent look.

At this moment, the kindness that she had pretended for more than half a month collapsed instantly. She didn't say anything, but Lin Mowan went straight to the point and said, "You don't need to doubt me. I am willing to help you this time, but of course I won't let you take my benefits for nothing."

Upon hearing this, although Gongshu Tingyue felt contempt from the bottom of his heart, he still couldn't help but feel relieved. It was probably because someone like Lin Mowan could not possibly have any good intentions.

Everything she did was for reward. If not, she would rather not do it, especially since she had never gotten along with the man before. On the surface, she seemed harmless, gentle and virtuous, which was liked by all men. Many women even liked to become close friends with such people.

But only those who have come into contact with her know that Lin Mowan is not an easy person to deal with. She has the appearance of a dodder flower, but a heart of a snake. People who are stung by her will usually go through a process of poisoning and then death.

She has lured and killed countless people in this skin.

When she thought of this, Gongshu Tingyue felt a chill in her heart. She calmed herself down and asked her, "What do you want?"

Seeing that she was about to compromise, Lin Mowan curled the corners of her lips slightly, but hesitated for a moment and said, "What you want now is what I want."

Hearing this, Gongshu Tingyue became even more confused. She didn't quite understand what she meant. What did she mean by that what Gongshu Tingyue wanted was what Lin Mowan wanted?

She opened her mouth and wanted to ask something, but she didn't know how to ask for a moment. Lin Mowan obviously didn't want to say anything more. She just smiled sweetly and gently as usual and said, "Madam, please go back. I will ask Yuzhi to send the account book and seal back. You don't have to come and get them in person."

Thinking that the other party had already ordered them to leave, and that her goal had been achieved, she gritted her teeth, did not stay any longer, turned around and left with Nanny Cen.

Lin Mowan's gaze followed them out of the yard, watching them gradually walk away until their figures disappeared around the corner. Yuzhi walked forward to take a look, closed the door and then turned back.

She looked at the account books on the table and frowned. She also knew what these account books meant. If Lin Mowan could control them, she would be able to gain a foothold here in a real sense without relying on anyone.

So, when Yuzhi heard that Lin Mowan wanted to return all the account books, she was completely confused. Of course, she asked this question after Xue Zhong asked someone to move the account books away.

Firstly, he really didn't understand, and secondly, he wanted to stand up for Lin Mowan. Jiang Wenqing had originally agreed to these things, and her master had done nothing wrong. Now Gongshu Tingyue wanted it back with just a few words. Isn't that unreasonable?
But Lin Mowan was somewhat disdainful. She just leaned back in the chair, closed her eyes in front of the warm fireplace, closed her eyes, and then chuckled, "What do I need those things for?" Anyway, it won't be long before they all die, won't they all be hers anyway?
