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

Chapter 173 Let’s be safe and don’t disturb each other

"What are these?" Lin Mowan asked suspiciously.

Yuzhi smiled brightly: "They were all sent by the Second Master. He said that he had let the young lady hear a lot of gossip these days, and it was really unfair to the young lady. This is a small compensation."

When she said this, she seemed quite happy, as if she was the one being compensated.

Lin Mowan glanced at the dazzling array of things in the room. At first glance, she felt that they were all very valuable. She just smiled faintly, scratched Xiao Sanhua's chin thoughtfully, and said nothing.

He is always like this, always stuffing things in here whenever he feels he owes her something, as if as long as he gives enough, she will always find something she likes.

In the past, she didn't think there was anything wrong with this, as it was always easier to get money than to win someone's heart. But now, perhaps because she had been living like this for too long, she began to be dissatisfied with the status quo.

People are always greedy. If they get a thousand dollars, they want ten thousand more. What they thought was good before, now that they have more and become bolder, they start to covet things that do not belong to them.

Seeing that she was a little depressed, Yuzhi came forward, lay down in front of her, and asked carefully: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Don't you have anyone you like?"

Lin Mowan didn't say anything, but just turned around and looked at her. She quickly continued, "It's okay, girl. Don't be unhappy. I'll talk to the Second Master later and ask him to send it again."

Listening to her words, Lin Mowan just found it funny. For the first time ever, she raised her hand and gently rubbed her head: "Silly girl."

Yuzhi blinked in confusion when she heard that, and was very suspicious. But she didn't think she was stupid at all. She thought she was very smart and could see through everything.

This was one of the rare times when Lin Mowan was unhappy when she received something from Shen Weiyuan. Facing her worried look, Lin Mowan just smiled at her comfortingly: "Don't worry, I'm fine, you go and get busy."

Yuzhi was silent, not knowing what to say for a moment. She just stood up silently and walked out of the room, looking back every few steps.

In the next few days, there was little snow during the day, but it would occasionally snow for a while at night, and then the sky would clear up when it got cooler.

early morning.

Lin Mowan was still sitting in front of the dressing table combing her hair when Yuzhi opened the door and came in, "Miss, there's a man outside who claims to be Miss Luo's brother."

Luo Haosong?
Lin Mowan paused in her hair-combing action, feeling confused and almost forgot who Luo Qiaoniang's brother was.

To be honest, they were not very familiar with each other. Apart from the last Zhuxia Banquet, she had seen him not long ago when she came back from Qingqiu Temple. They had not had any other interactions.

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Please ask him to wait in the hall. I'll go after I change my clothes."

"Yes." Yuzhi nodded in response, turned around and left.

Soon, Lin Mowan finished dressing and went to the hall. Perhaps he was too impatient to wait, so he paced back and forth in the hall, pulling the green plants in the hall boredly. Seeing Lin Mowan coming into the hall, he quickly put away his hands pulling the green leaves and waited for me, smiled awkwardly at Lin Mowan, and took the initiative to greet her: "Miss Lin, I heard from my sister that you live here, so I came uninvited. Miss Lin, please don't blame me for being abrupt."

There was a gleam in his eyes, a heroic spirit that only a young man could possess. Lin Mowan smiled at him and said, "It's okay, Mr. Luo, please sit down and talk."

Luo Haosong smiled innocently and scratched his head, then followed her into the hall and sat down. He just stared at Lin Mowan and smiled foolishly. In the end, it was Lin Mowan who took the initiative to speak: "Sir, is there something important that made you come here in person? Is it related to my sister?"

Hearing this, Luo Haosong seemed to come back to his senses in an instant. His ears turned red and he lowered his eyes. He coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment. Then he seemed to remember something and took out the invitation from his arms and said, "On the 17th of next month, it's Xiaoying'er's birthday party. My sister said she hopes you can come."

As he spoke, he handed the invitation in his hand to the servant beside him, who passed it to Lin Mowan.

Lin Mowan looked through the invitation in her hand with some hesitation, and her eyes swept over the lines of words, seeming to feel relieved. In the past, no matter what the matter was, Luo Qiaoniang always came in person, or at worst Sun Xiaoyue would come. But this time, Luo Haosong came for the first time, and she thought something serious had happened.

It can be seen that Luo Haosong seemed to be too busy to send it here. Lin Mowan breathed a sigh of relief and closed the invitation in her hand. Before she could say anything, Luo Haosong said anxiously, "The girl will go, right?"

"..." Lin Mowan remained silent and did not speak immediately. Instead, she put the invitation in her hand aside and turned away thoughtfully.

In fact, after getting rid of Pei Jingjian, she had no intention of associating with the Luo family anymore, even though she was not the only victim in Pei Jingjian's matter, Luo Qiaoniang was also one.

However, Zhou Ying is her and Pei Jingjian's biological daughter. Even if Luo Qiaoniang knows the truth about Pei Jingjian's death in the future and does not hate her, what about Zhou Ying?

Rather than the two families continuing to interact with each other, which would give the matter the possibility of seeing the light of day again, it would be better for them to just live in peace and not interfere with each other.

Seeing her hesitation, Luo Haosong didn't know the truth, he just thought that she didn't like the kind of crowded occasions, so he immediately explained: "It's okay, Miss Lin, I'm just going to have a meal, my sister also said that she missed you very much, Miss Lin, you can go."

At the end, his tone was filled with a hint of pleading, which made people feel soft-hearted. Lin Mowan smiled helplessly: "I know, I will consider it. Please go there in person."

Hearing that Lin Mowan was still willing to go, Luo Hao's frown immediately relaxed, and his eyes lit up with joy: "Okay, then I'll wait for the girl to come, ah... No, I mean, my sister said to wait for the girl to come."

As he spoke, he stood up and headed for the door, jumping up and down like a child who had found some priceless treasure.

Lin Mowan couldn't help feeling a little helpless, but Yuzhi's alarm bells were ringing. She pouted in dissatisfaction, blaming her daughter for being too attractive. Why did she end up with such a dog-skin plaster?
Calculating the time, it is about a month before New Year's Eve, which is about half a month after Xiao Zhouying's... um... she should be called Xiao Luoying now, Xiao Luoying's birthday party.

She couldn't help wondering, would Shen Weiyuan come to accompany her at that time? On such an important day, it seemed unlikely that he would be with his family at the Marquis' Mansion...

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart. Although she understood that this was inevitable, sometimes reason could not control the surging emotions.

She sniffed, let out a long breath, stood up and took Yuzhi back to the room...

It snowed heavily for several days and did not stop until the days of the banquet. Snow piled up everywhere and the streets outside were covered with a thick layer of snow. The cleaners had to sweep from before dawn until sunrise before they could barely clear a path wide enough for an ordinary carriage to pass.
