Chapter 189 I had a great time chatting with my father
It was he who arranged for the bandits to bring Lin Mowan back from Qingqiu Temple, and it was also he who hired someone to do the assassination in the snow that day. He never thought that she would be alive until now.
Lin Mowan looked at him, hesitating to speak for a few times, and couldn't help but sneer. She took a deep breath and said, "Father, I really don't want to be your enemy, but when I think about your blood flowing in my bones, I feel that I am not clean, so I have no choice."
She didn't want to die, so she could let them suffer a little.
Seeing her so arrogant, with the words "I am going to kill you" written all over her face, Jiang Wenqing clenched his teeth, obviously angry to the extreme.
But what can he do? He has tried all kinds of tricks, both overt and covert, but she still keeps pestering him and the Jiang family like a ghost, tearing the entire Jiang family apart.
Although she was suppressing her anger, she could no longer explode like she used to. Her eyes were filled with helplessness, unwillingness, and a bit of regret, not sure whether it was towards Lin Mowan or for the path she had chosen.
Finally, after a long while, he calmed down and asked Lin Mowan softly, "What do you want in order to let me go and let the Jiang family go? I beg you, I will admit my mistakes and ask for an imperial decree for your mother, what do you think?"
He spoke to her in a humble, flattering, and negotiating tone that he had never used before. Lin Mowan looked at him, slowly smiled, but did not respond.
After a long while, she sighed softly, stood up, brushed her sleeves, and said calmly, "That's not necessary. Father, do you have anything else to say? If not, I'll leave first."
As she spoke, she bowed in a good mood, greeted the guests and was about to go out. Originally, when the Jiang family sent someone to invite her, she thought it was Gongshu Tingyue who took action.
She was quite puzzled at first, wondering how such a big thing could happen without any news at all. After she came here, she realized that it was not the case. It seemed that Gongshu Tingyue came to make trouble with him after knowing her identity.
To be honest, Lin Mowan was still a little disappointed, secretly blaming Gongshu Tingyue for being too nagging. She smiled, but just as she turned around, she seemed to have thought of something, stopped, and looked back at Jiang Wenqing, who was sitting up with some gray hair on his temples.
Their eyes met. Jiang Wenqing thought she had something else to say, so he swallowed the words that wanted to stop her from leaving. He could only look at her dryly. She was silent for a few seconds before she smiled happily. "I had a great time chatting with my father today. If he's bored again that day, I'll come and chat with him."
What she said really sounded like the deep and inseparable affection between an ordinary father and daughter. Only Jiang Wenqing felt a chill in his bones when he heard it.
Lin Mowan ignored him and turned around to continue walking towards the door. For her, this was not the best conversation. This time, Jiang Wenqing did not ask her for anything, nor did he lose his temper with her.
She comforted herself obsessively in her heart, thinking that this was pleasing to his eyes, and that he would never ignore her again or allow others to pick her up and throw her into the snow. Since she couldn't love, she would just feel the fear, which was also a way of remembering.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Jiang Wenqing stood up again, a trace of anxiety flashed across his face. He opened his mouth slightly, but before he could say anything, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open.
The two were stunned at the same time. They looked up and saw that the person who came in was Xue Zhong. He looked flustered, his face was pale, and he seemed to be at a loss as to what to do. However, he calmed down a lot the moment he pushed the door open and saw Lin Mowan.
Lin Mowan noticed something was wrong, but she didn't ask. She just smiled at him and lowered her eyes, pretending that nothing had happened, but she also slowed down her pace. Sure enough, Xue Zhong bypassed Lin Mowan and walked quickly towards Jiang Wenqing, whispering, "It's bad, Master. Someone from the palace has sent a message that something happened to the Third Aunt."
"What!" Jiang Wenqing roared, his voice changing tone with excitement. He grabbed Xue Zhong's collar, as if he was afraid of hearing this news, and asked: "Tell me again, what happened? How did it happen? What could happen to her in the palace!!"
Seeing that he was furious, Xue Zhong hurried forward and whispered a few words in his ear. Jiang Wenqing's face turned pale, and he staggered and fell into the chair. Xue Zhong was so scared that he quickly reached out to help him.
At this time, Lin Mowan had already walked to the door and stepped out of the study. Something happened in the palace, and the only thing that could make Jiang Wenqing have such an expression must be the child in Hanyan's belly.
I heard that when the old lady of the Jiang family was still alive, she had a pretty good relationship with the empress dowager. The old lady knew how to handle things and would always go along with the empress dowager, which made the empress dowager happy, so she interacted with her more often. But later, as she got older, they gradually stopped interacting, and only visited each other during the New Year and other festivals.
This time, Hanyan was sent to the Empress Dowager's palace to be raised, and this was all because of the relationship between her and the old lady in the past.
But Jiang Wenqing never expected that the Queen Mother was close to the old lady, and naturally to Uncle Tingyue as well. He liked them very much when he was a child.
A while ago, she was indeed dissatisfied with Gongshu Tingyue's petty behavior, so she did not stop Gongshu Yanyu from taking away her badge that allowed her to enter and leave the palace freely.
But after all, she had watched her grow up, and the empress dowager was somewhat reluctant to let her go. She would punish her for a while. As long as Gongshu Tingyue spread some rumors, showed weakness to the empress dowager, admitted her mistakes, and pretended to be pitiful, she would be able to enter and leave the palace freely.
It's just an abortion, what's so difficult about that?
After coming out of Jiang's house, Lin Mowan did not leave immediately. She got on the carriage back to Zither Garden and stopped the carriage at an inconspicuous corner of the street, waiting quietly.
I don't know how much time had passed until I saw the Jiang family's carriage coming towards this side in a hurry. The driver wanted to whip the horse's buttocks to pieces, just to make the carriage go faster.
Watching them heading towards the palace, Lin Mowan knew without hesitation that he was anxious to go to the palace to see if anything serious had happened to his son who had not yet been born.
She didn't let the Jiang family's carriage go back to Wisteria Garden until it had gone far away and could no longer be seen or heard.
Holding Xiao Sanhua, she sat on a round-backed chair with exquisite carvings under the crabapple tree, humming a little tune and drinking tea. Yuzhi came up and asked, "What would you like to eat tonight, young lady? I'll ask the kitchen to make it?"
Lin Mowan thought about it, raised her head after a moment, and said, "No, bring some lotus cakes first, and you don't have to cook dinner yet."
It's not that she doesn't want to eat, but she estimates that she doesn't have time to eat. If she waits any longer, someone from the palace will summon her to the palace to question her.
After all, she didn't believe that Gongshu Tingyue would not betray her. What Gongshu Tingyue wanted was always to kill two birds with one stone. It was a pity that she had suffered so many times but still never learned her lesson. If she was smart enough, she would have figured out that Lin Mowan was not as easy to deal with as she imagined.
The most terrifying thing in this world is not knowing that you have a powerful enemy, but knowing that the enemy is powerful enough but has no idea of it.
