Chapter 17 He Goes Crazy Again
Liu Yinghong certainly knew about Shen Weiyuan and Lin Mowan's affairs, but she never said much about their relationship. She just occasionally looked at her with regret, helplessness, or disappointment.

Lin Mowan knew it all, but life was not easy for women in this world, and Liu Yinghong probably didn't want Lin Mowan to follow her mother's old path.

Whenever the two of them sat down to chat in their spare time, although Liu Yinghong didn't say it explicitly, she was telling Lin Mowan implicitly: "With your conditions, you don't have to be Shen Weiyuan's mistress. He is in a high position and treats you well, but you can't just give up for nothing. He can't even give you a name. He treats you well now, but what if he doesn't treat you well anymore?"

Lin Mowan understood what she meant, but she could only respond with silence. On the night her mother had the accident, Lin Mowan realized that she seemed to have no other choice.

If Jiang Wenqing had not lived well after that night, she would have still had reasons to comfort herself and live on, but seeing him so prosperous, every time she woke up in the middle of the night, she seemed to still hear her mother's heart-wrenching cries and struggles. How could she feel at ease? How could she not hate him?

She had been looking for an opportunity until she accidentally got involved with Shen Weiyuan. She then grabbed this life-saving straw tightly. She knew that this was her only chance.

When Lin Mowan left Yuxiang Tower, it was still early. She went back along the same path she took today. She didn't meet anyone along the way, and soon she returned to the yard through the back door with Yuzhi.

She had just entered the room and lay down on the bed, and before she could have a sip of tea, there was a knock on the door at a very timely moment. The master and servant looked at each other, Yuzhi turned around to open the door, and Taohong ran in hurriedly.

She was one of the servants assigned to Lin Mowan by the old lady after she entered the Jiang family. She seemed to be quite skillful, so Lin Mowan kept her by her side.

Tao Hong knelt on the ground with a thump, horrified: "Miss Lin, please go and have a look. The eldest young master...he has started to go crazy again. No matter how much we persuade him, he won't stop. The master, the mistress, and even the old lady are gone."

Lin Mowan looked at her, her expression showing a trace of panic and worry, but she had no intention of leaving. She spoke innocently again: "How could this happen? Have you called a doctor?"

The implication is: If you are sick, please see a doctor. I can’t treat illnesses.

Tao Hong looked worried and terrified: "We have invited several people, but they were all scared away. Girl, good girl, please go and take a look. Maybe if you go, the young master's mood will be more stable."

Hearing this, Lin Mowan frowned and said in an awkward manner: "But...but my father said that he doesn't want me to have anything to do with the young master anymore."

“This…” Tao Hong’s expression became even uglier. The look she gave Lin Mo Wan seemed to be saying, “It’s already this time, who would still care about these things?”

But when the words came to her lips, she still didn't say them. If she said it, if something really happened in the future, she would definitely be blamed.

She knelt on the ground, and although she was anxious, her rolling eyes still let Lin Mowan see through her thoughts. Just as she was about to refuse, Taohong said, "Good girl, I know you are timid, but if you really control the young master when you go out today, then in the future, the master and the mistress will definitely be closer to you, and the merits and demerits will definitely offset each other."

It's really a good combination of merits and demerits. Lin Mowan almost couldn't help laughing out loud. It doesn't look like Taohong made the decision on her own. It seems that the old lady must have secretly asked someone to call her over.

Lin Mowan didn't say anything. The confusion and sorrow on her face became even more intense. Coupled with her pale face, she looked particularly pitiful, as if she would break at the slightest touch. Even if one just glanced at her, one would feel a dull pain in the heart.

After a long time, Taohong was reluctant to leave, as if she was determined to let Lin Mowan go out. Calculating the time, Jiang Youxi had been left alone for almost half a month. Originally, Lin Mowan was worried that she could not find a suitable opportunity to see him.

Look, the opportunity is right here. Lin Mowan hesitated for a long time, with a pale face, and after Taohong's seventh plea, she nodded hesitantly and agreed to let her wait outside, and Yuzhi helped her wash and change clothes.

She said she was washing and changing clothes, but in fact she was just sitting in the house reading a book and drinking tea, asking them to wait a little longer. When Lin Mowan went out again, she was panting after every two steps and breathing heavily after three steps. She was no longer as brisk as when she came out of Yuxiang Tower. She was carefully supported by Yuzhi.

Normally, it would only take a few minutes to walk from Feiqing Courtyard to the courtyard where Jiang Youxi lived, but it took Lin Mowan more than ten minutes to walk there. Although Taohong was anxious, she could only smile and follow along.

As they approached the yard, before they entered, they heard the sound of things being smashed. Lin Mowan paused slightly. She finally understood that the biggest characteristic of this family was that they were loud, whether it was the sound of talking or smashing things, or their extremely loud temper. No one would give in to anyone else. There was probably no other family like them in Sheng'an.

While thinking, the three of them did not stay at the door for long, and entered the yard one after another.

The yard was in a mess and covered in blood. Jiang Youxi was still walking back and forth in the yard quickly with a crazy look. He would pick up and smash anything he could move, and overturn anything he couldn't move. If that didn't work, he would kick and chop with a knife. He was waving the knife in his hand, scaring no one to approach him. I heard that he had injured several people.

His eyes were bloodshot, veins popped out on his forehead, and traces of blood were faintly visible on his lower body. He roared, "You are all beasts, you all want to harm me, you all want to control me! You look down on me! Die! Die!"

The old lady was so frightened that she had to be helped to sit on a chair, and she kept rubbing her chest. Jiang Wenqing and Gongshu Tingyue also looked worried and exhausted.

Although we had only not seen each other for half a month, everyone seemed to have aged a lot, especially the old lady, who looked even less energetic than when we first met.

In the few months after Lin Mowan entered the mansion, perhaps due to psychological effects, the old lady's condition actually improved. But before she was completely recovered, this kind of thing happened again.

Lin Mowan calmly lowered her eyes, pretending to be unwell and coughing with her hands covering her face. She looked like she had not recovered from a serious illness. She walked up to the few people, greeted them hurriedly, and said softly, "Wan'er is late."

Seeing her coming, the old lady's dead eyes finally saw a little light. She stood up from her seat and pulled Lin Mowan's arm, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw: "Good girl, you have to persuade Xi Ge'er."

Lin Mowan didn't say a word, but frowned slightly and looked at the almost insane Jiang Youxi with a somewhat frightened look. Although she claimed to be sick and could not go out these days, she could still hear some rumors.

Ever since Jiang Youxi knew he had become a eunuch, his temperament had become more and more changeable. Even if no one around him mentioned the matter again, he would become extremely sensitive, irritable, and emotionally unstable, as if he was possessed.

In this situation, let alone Lin Mowan, even if a cow rushed over, it would be chopped into pieces by the sword in his hand.

But faced with this situation, Lin Mowan hesitated, but Gongshu Tingyue would not hesitate. She grabbed Lin Mowan's hand, and before she moved, Lin Mowan knew what she was going to do, but did not struggle.

She pulled the frail-looking Lin Mowan over to her. Lin Mowan staggered a few steps, looking terrified and at a loss.

She pinched Lin Mowan's wrist, gritted her teeth, and said viciously: "My Jiang family gave you the status of a young lady, you should be grateful. My son likes you so much. Now that he has become like this, you naturally need to accompany him!"
