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

Chapter 171 Killing two birds with one stone

"Let him in."

After Lin Mowan finished speaking, the guard who had stopped the child had to put away the hilt of the sword that was blocking him. Without any obstruction, the child quickly ran into the pavilion.

Seeing that he was covered in dirt, Yuzhi quickly moved aside to block him, took out some change from her bosom and handed it to him, saying, "Okay, give me the things, and you can go."

The child held the thing in his hand tightly, just glanced at Yuzhi, didn't say anything, and didn't hand over the thing.

Lin Mowan seemed to see his intention. After a moment of hesitation, she waved her hand, signaling Yuzhi to leave, and Yuzhi did not try to stop her.

The child stepped forward, his eyes fixed on the snacks on the table nearby. He swallowed his saliva. Lin Mowan smiled, picked up a piece of snack and handed it to him, and he began to eat it voraciously.

He swallowed a piece of snack in just two or three bites and looked at it eagerly. Lin Mowan smiled and said, "Give me the letter, and these snacks will be yours."

When the child heard this, he nodded repeatedly and decisively handed the letter in his hand to her, handing her the letter in one hand and the snack in the other. The child happily held the snack and started to eat it.

Lin Mowan opened the letter and took a glance at it. The general meaning was that the letter was asking Lin Mowan to help buy a medicine, which was said to be used to deal with the person in the palace.

After reading the letter, Lin Mowan was not surprised. Although she was unwilling to admit that Lin Yirou was killed by such an idiot, that was the fact.

She closed the letter in her hand and put it back into the envelope. Looking at the child standing beside her eating snacks, Lin Mowan did not stop him. Instead, she picked up the teacup she brought and poured him a glass of water, then handed it to him, and asked, "Who asked you to deliver this letter? Was it a woman?"

The child took the teacup. The steaming tea looked very warm. He simply sat on the ground, holding the teacup in his hand, blowing gently, and shook his head: "No, it's a strange old man. They say he is the patriarch of the Jiang family."

Jiang Wenqing?
When Lin Mowan heard this, her expression changed slightly. As expected, Gongshu Tingyue wanted to kill two birds with one stone, but unfortunately the person he met was her, Lin Mowan.

If Lin Mowan bought the medicine for her, the meeting place would most likely not be at Zhuyougongshu Tingyue's place, but Jiang Wenqing would probably be there too. At that time, she could just say that it was Lin Mowan's plan, and everything was masterminded by Lin Mowan, and she was just deceived.

Clear yourself first, and then deal with Hanyan. Even if Hanyan's child is gone and she is dead, with Gongshu Tingyue directing and acting in this incident, Jiang Wenqing's suspicion of her can be greatly reduced.

If it were someone else, this would indeed be a perfect plan, but Lin Mowan asked an extra question.

The child drank the tea and ate the snack, carefully put the remaining two pieces into his pocket, put the teacup in his hand on the table, politely said thank you and was about to leave.

"Wait a moment." Lin Mowan called him. He turned around with a puzzled look in his eyes.

On this cold winter day, he was only wearing a single piece of clothing that was so dark in color that it had holes in it, and a pair of worn straw sandals on his feet. His tender feet had turned purple from the cold.

"Sister, is there anything else?" he asked.

Lin Mowan thought for a moment before continuing, "Help me do something. If you do it well, you can follow me in the future. If nothing else, at least you won't be hungry or cold."

The child looked at her, blinking his big eyes, as if he was thinking for a long time, then he touched the still warm snack in his arms and nodded decisively.

Lin Mowan was very satisfied with this. She asked someone to bring pen and ink, wrote a letter and handed it to the child, and asked casually, "What's your name?" "Changsheng," he replied.

Lin Mowan nodded: "Changsheng, what a good name. Please help me find a chance to give this letter to Jiang Yanran, the second young lady of the Jiang family."

"Okay." Changsheng nodded, took the letter, and trotted away...

The next few days were relatively peaceful. Lin Mowan claimed to be sick and stayed in Zither Garden without going out. Seeing Hanyan's belly getting bigger day by day, according to the imperial physician, the fetus was also stable. After waiting for a long time without any news from Lin Mowan, Gongshu Tingyue finally became anxious.

She came over on her own initiative and stood outside the Wisteria Garden. The gate was closed and there was not even a gatekeeper outside. She got off the carriage and glanced around with some disgust.

This was her first time coming to this place. If it were in the past, someone of her noble status would never have set foot in such a place.

Standing beside the carriage, she signaled to the person at the door to knock on it. The person did not dare to delay and hurried forward and started knocking on the door.

After a long while, the servant in the courtyard finally came in, opened the door a crack, glanced at everyone warily, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"..."

Gongshu Tingyue rolled his eyes speechlessly. The girl who knocked on the door took the initiative to ask: "Looking for your daughter, is she here?"

The servant shook his head and said, "My daughter went out early in the morning. I don't know where she went. You came at the wrong time. Come back another day."

After saying that, he slammed the door shut. Gongshu Tingyue was stunned for a moment, and then she was filled with anger from the bottom of her heart. She was the dignified Princess Showa, and had lived a life more noble than that of a princess since she was a child. When had she ever suffered such an injustice?
She was furious but helpless. She kicked the door hard and cursed, "Son of a bitch." Then she turned around and got on the carriage and went back.

When she returned to the Jiang family, she got off the carriage in anger, completely unaware of the strange and hesitant looks from the maids and servants in the mansion along the way.

It was not until Gongshu Tingyue returned to the yard that Xue Zhong came with a sad face and asked Gongshu Tingyue to go to the study.

Seeing Xue Zhong's ambiguous and deliberately evasive eyes, Gongshu Tingyue felt a little strange, but he did not hesitate for too long and went anyway.

When she got outside the study, she tried to adjust her mood, took a deep breath, and walked into the study with a smile on her face. But before she could say anything, a letter hit her in the face.

Gongshu Tingyue screamed in fright, and before she could react, she raised her eyes and saw the falling letter paper and the envelope that had fallen to the ground. They were the ones she wrote to Lin Mowan.

Seeing this, she was stunned for a moment.

"Is this the solution you mentioned?" Jiang Wenqing was furious. Gong Shu Tingyue was holding the letter he had written himself in his hand, and was still in shock for a while.

Jiang Wenqing continued, "Didn't you say that Lin Mowan was the mastermind? Why did it become you who instructed it?! Give me a reasonable explanation!!!"

Jiang Wenqing almost roared out the last sentence, and Gongshu Tingyue was instantly frightened back to her senses. She hurriedly said, "No, no, Master, it's not like that! I swear, I definitely didn't mean that. I wrote it like this on purpose. Otherwise, how could they reveal their true intentions? Master, Master, please believe me!"
