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

Chapter 167: Another Enemy or an Ally?

Listening to her angry cursing, Lin Mowan never responded or tried to stop her. She just looked at her with a smile, as if waiting for her to finish.

It was not until she was so tired that she could hardly breathe and her cheeks turned red that she stopped cursing, breathing heavily, and looked at Lin Mowan with eyes that seemed as if she wanted to cut her into pieces.

Lin Mowan didn't care. She kept smiling, even more so: "Madam, you have experienced a lot of ups and downs. You wouldn't go crazy like this with just a small blow, right? If you really do what someone wants, the child may not be born in your arms in the future."

After listening to what Lin Mowan said, Gongshu Tingyue was stunned. His originally confused eyes suddenly became clear and he seemed to be calmer.

She thought about it and pushed Yuzhi away. Yuzhi did not argue too much, but just stepped aside and protected Lin Mowan. Lin Mowan smiled indifferently, as if she had already expected her reaction.

"I don't need to tell you how the second young master died, right?" Lin Mowan looked at her and continued to induce her, "I don't need to tell you who benefited the most and who had the most motive, right?"

If Jiang Youan died and Hanyan gave birth to a boy, even if Hanyan still could not escape the fate of being left behind by his mother, as the only son of the Jiang family, he would be the center of everyone's love and would not have to be a burden.

No matter whether Hanyan lives or dies, she will be the one who benefits the most in the end. Besides, what Hanyan sent her that night was a chestnut cake with half of it missing.

She once asked her where the other half had gone. At that time, she was vague and only said that she kept half. Gong Shu Tingyue didn't suspect much until he heard that Jiang Youan had an accident and died from chestnut cake.

At that moment, she was almost certain that it was Hanyan who killed Jiang Youan, just as Lin Mowan said now. Before that, she had always believed in this statement, especially when she asked Hanyan for an explanation, but Jiang Wenqing defended her in every way and even sent her to the palace to take care of her pregnancy.

She hated it so much that she personally pushed the person who killed her son to a high position, but she was not stupid, and Lin Mowan was not an easy person to deal with either. She definitely didn't say it simply because she wanted to help her.

But now, she can be said to have no place to go. Gongshu Yanyu no longer trusts her and has long since taken away her token that allows her to enter and leave the palace at will. Even Jiang Wenqing thinks she has gone crazy.

As if seeing the doubts in her heart, Lin Mowan's expression remained unchanged, and her tone was somewhat naive: "I said, what Madam wants now is what I want."

It’s this sentence again…

Gongshu Tingyue frowned. If she didn't understand what she meant before, she seemed to understand it now.

She looked around and inexplicably felt enlightened. She looked at Lin Mowan in front of her, and their eyes met. Everything seemed to be self-evident.

Without waiting for Gongshu Tingyue to say anything else, Lin Mowan continued, "Don't worry, we are just cooperating temporarily. After all, neither you nor I want this child to be born, right?"

Gongshu Tingyue sneered: "Why should I trust you? I can do this kind of thing myself, you? Ha, what can you do to help me? Where do you get the confidence to talk about cooperation?"

At this moment, she was very sober.

Lin Mowan smiled, neither hurried nor slow, as if she was fearless: "Of course, you are a princess, and I am just a commoner. I am of no use to you, but you have to think about it, one more enemy or one more ally, this is the most important thing." Her tone was light, like a warning and a reminder. Gongshu Tingyue suddenly realized what Lin Mowan meant, and suddenly realized that if she did not agree now, then for her, there would be one more difficult opponent, and her chances of winning would be greatly reduced.

Finally, after a little hesitation, Gongshu Tingyue gritted his teeth and had to compromise and agree. Gongshu Tingyue understood that if he agreed to her, at least when he was dealing with Hanyan, she would not interfere, and he would have a greater chance of winning.

After reaching the final agreement, the two of them high-fived each other three times to sign an alliance, and they remained absolutely united in dealing with Hanyan.

After leaving Jiang's house and on the way back, the weather was not good and it started to snow lightly again.

Perhaps because she was in a good mood, Lin Mowan did not take the carriage. She walked back with Yuzhi, holding an umbrella. Snowflakes were falling lightly. Some people on the street were hurrying back, while others were walking slowly like them.

Looking at the falling snowflakes, Yuzhi couldn't help but ask, "Do you really want to cooperate with her? Why for an unborn child?"

"..." Lin Mowan remained silent and did not say anything. She just walked slowly forward, as if she did not hear it or the lyrical words just now did not happen.

After a long while, when Yuzhi was about to forget what she had just asked, Lin Mowan said, "The mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole is behind. I will not let anyone go if I kill someone with a borrowed knife."

Yuzhi was stunned for a moment, but finally stopped asking any questions.

When I returned to Wisteria Garden, before I got close, I saw a group of people standing outside the courtyard from afar. Gongshu Beicheng was standing in the snow. A lot of snow had fallen on his white cloak with a bamboo fur collar. It seemed that he had been waiting outside the courtyard for a long time.

Lin Mowan paused, feeling mixed emotions. She couldn't tell whether she wanted him to come or not. She just breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that dealing with people was a very troublesome thing.

She calmed herself down a little, cleared away the strange thoughts in her mind, smiled and walked quickly towards him, "Your Highness." She leaned forward gently, and when Gongshu Beicheng saw her come back, his frown finally relaxed, and he quickly raised his hand to support her.

"Get up quickly." He smiled, as if relieved. "I was worried that you wouldn't come back today. Don't be too sad about the old lady's matter."

Lin Mowan smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. I'm fine." It wasn't that she was trying to be strong, she really didn't care. After all, she was the one who killed the man. But at this time, the more she acted like this, the more people felt sorry for her.

Lin Mowan did not explain. If some misunderstandings could continue like this, it would not be a bad thing. She looked at him and took the initiative to change the subject: "By the way, Your Highness came to see me specially, is there something?"

Hearing this, Gongshu Beicheng laughed dryly twice, raised his hand and scratched his head embarrassedly. He has always been calm and steady, and this is not something he would do. Lin Mowan couldn't help but find it a little funny and laughed softly.

Seeing her smile, Gongshu Beicheng seemed to be relieved again and said, "It's nothing, actually. I heard about the old lady of the Jiang family, so I came to see you. Seeing that you are fine, I can also rest assured."

After he said that, a hint of warmth suddenly flashed in his eyes. Lin Mowan lowered her eyes and avoided him almost subconsciously. She didn't like this ambiguous feeling.

"What's wrong?" Seeing her sudden change of expression, Gongshu Beicheng also suddenly became serious.
