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

Chapter 165 You will become the legitimate eldest daughter of the Jiang family

Before entering the mourning hall, she could vaguely hear sobbing coming from inside, and Lin Mowan slowly approached.

Jiang Ruixue and Jiang Yanran were dressed in mourning, kneeling in the mourning hall, sobbing quietly. Gongshu Tingyue and Tong Yuhua were also there, but Hanyan and Jiang Wenqing were nowhere to be seen.

Lin Mowan took a quick glance and walked forward slowly. The moment she stepped into the mourning hall, the people from the Jiang family also noticed her. Their expressions changed and even their crying became much quieter.

Lin Mowan turned a blind eye and walked straight into the mourning hall. Her eyes fell on the servant who was responsible for lighting incense. Her deep eyes were calm yet with a hint of questioning. The servant seemed to have just reacted and quickly lit the incense and handed it to Lin Mowan, who took it calmly.

After burning incense, she turned her head and glanced at the people present, but still didn't see Jiang Wenqing. She slowly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little disappointed.

Before she left, someone else came to pay his respects. Unlike the treatment given to Lin Mowan, this time, Gongshu Tingyue took the initiative to greet the person. While the person was talking, a servant lit incense.

While no one was paying attention around, Lin Mowan turned her eyes slightly and fell on Tong Yuhua beside her. Their eyes met and without further ado, Lin Mowan turned around and left the mourning hall first. Not long after, Tong Yuhua also left, using the excuse of having a headache and going downstairs to rest.

In the small garden of the Jiang family's yard, everyone is busy near the mourning hall at this moment. There are almost no people here. In the cold winter, only the plum blossoms are blooming lonely and proudly, with bursts of plum fragrance.

Lin Mowan stood in front of a bunch of red plum blossoms, looking up at the blooming stamens, which made the flower buds beside them look particularly delicate.

At this time, Lin Mowan was the only one in the garden. Tong Yuhua had entered the garden at some point, but did not get too close. Instead, she stood not far away, with a trusted maid by her side. It seemed that she came here to appreciate the plum blossoms.

It was very quiet all around, and only the sound of crying could be vaguely heard from the front yard. Tong Yuhua spoke slowly, "Hanyan has been taken to the palace. Jiang Wenqing should have just rushed home from the palace. I heard that he was called into the palace at dusk yesterday to discuss state affairs all night. I guess he should have arrived by now."

Lin Mowan seemed to be thinking about something. It seemed that Hanyan was smart and knew that if she continued to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if Lin Mowan let her go, Gongshu Tingyue, with his possessive look, might not let her go.

This was a bit tricky. She was in the palace, and it seemed unlikely that anything could be done to her in a short period of time. Thinking of this, Gongshu Tingyue came to her mind unconsciously.

After a short silence, Lin Mowan asked, "Where is Gongshu Tingyue? How is he doing recently?"

Speaking of this, Tong Yuhua sighed helplessly. Perhaps because she was also a mother, she simply couldn't imagine how painful it was for a mother to lose her child.

But she also knew that if she was not ruthless, the only ones who would die would be her and Jiang Yanran. Even for her Yanran, she could only choose to cooperate with Lin Mowan. Now it was too late to reverse the situation and there was no way back. She could only go on with gritted teeth.

Tong Yuhua took a deep breath, suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart, and said, "Since the second young master left, she seems to have gone a little crazy. I often hear her crying at night. She cries in the room and looks for the second young master. She also goes to the eldest young master's yard to look for the eldest young master. Aunt Cen has been following her for several nights, but she hasn't gotten better. The doctor said that she was too shocked."

Hearing this, Lin Mowan nodded thoughtfully, with a cunning flash in her eyes, as if she had thought of a good idea, but she didn't ask any more questions. She just lowered the plum blossom in front of her and leaned in to smell the fresh fragrance.

"I understand." She said, as if she didn't want to pay any more attention to Tong Yuhua. Tong Yuhua turned her head, and her complicated eyes fell on her. She hesitated to speak for a while, perhaps because she was worried about her and Jiang Yanran's future, or because she had seen Lin Mowan's cold-bloodedness and was frightened. She knew that she could not put all her bets on this person.

No matter what, she has to consider her Yanran.

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the garden. The two turned back subconsciously and saw that the person who came in from the path in the garden was Jiang Wenqing.

He was furious, and had obviously heard about Lin Mowan's return, so he came straight over here. Seeing this, Tong Yuhua's heart sank, and she instinctively stepped back, her fear beyond words.

Lin Mowan just glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, then took the initiative to step forward and bowed gently as usual: "Daddy, you're back."

As expected, Jiang Wenqing answered her with angrily slapped Lin Mowan in the face. Lin Mowan's head tilted, and perhaps the skin in her mouth was broken, and a rusty iron taste instantly spread in her mouth.

She was not surprised, she just raised her face and looked at him with a smile. He was still as hateful as ever, even the position of his veins bulging was the same every time. Lin Mowan couldn't help laughing when she saw his furious look.

Jiang Wenqing didn't say anything, but turned his head angrily and glanced at Tong Yuhua who was standing far away. Tong Yuhua immediately shrank her neck in fear. She understood the meaning in his eyes, lowered her head quickly, and left with the maid who was accompanying her.

Looking at the furious man in front of her, Lin Mowan raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she didn't care about the slap just now, and asked him: "What does Daddy want this time?"

When she asked this question, there was some expectation in her tone. Jiang Wenqing looked at her. He should have felt his scalp tingling, but at this moment, his heart was not stirred at all. He just felt tired and ridiculous.

Their eyes met. This time, he was surprisingly calm. Lin Mowan didn't say anything either. They stared at each other for a long time before he said calmly and helplessly, "What do you want? You killed so many people. Don't you feel any guilt at all?"

Lin Mowan looked innocent and asked him back, "What about you? Have you ever felt guilty?" She asked this very seriously.

Jiang Wenqing was stunned for a moment, and then she realized what Lin Mowan meant. Her heart seemed to be grabbed by something. "I know you are coming for me, right? They are all innocent. As long as you stop, I can reveal your identity, and you will become the eldest daughter of the Jiang family."

He looked at her, and there was a hint of pleading in his eyes. Lin Mowan saw it, and the cynicism in her eyes gradually faded away, and then replaced with a serious and aggrieved affection: "What about my mother, will you give her a legitimate status?"

This time, Jiang Wenqing did not speak immediately. Instead, he opened and closed his lips and trembled for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."

Unexpectedly, in Jiang Wenqing's expectant eyes, Lin Mowan suddenly sneered, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world, and Jiang Wenqing's face gradually fell.

When she stopped laughing, she raised her eyes slightly and caught a glimpse of Gongshu Tingyue who was walking towards her quickly. She quickly retracted her gaze and continued to look at him with innocent surprise. She pretended to be flattered and stepped back, covering her mouth. She saw her approaching with her peripheral vision, and when she was sure that she could hear, she raised her voice: "What?! Lord Jiang, you want to take me as a concubine?! This is absolutely not allowed!!"
