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

Chapter 193 Are they related because they both have the surname Lin?
It seems that there is indeed an expert guiding him behind the scenes. Gong Shu Tingyue asked this not just to mock Lin Mowan.

Lin Mowan didn't care. Facing her provocation, she just raised her eyebrows slightly: "You said so much, are you afraid to gamble? Are you afraid of death?"

"..." Gongshu Tingyue frowned, the dissatisfaction in her heart surged up again. She clenched her fists and kept reminding herself in her mind what the Queen Mother had told her before she came, that she must remain calm.

She chuckled, "I do dare, but I don't know what you want to bet on. After all..." As she spoke, she paused and deliberately prolonged the ending tone. He looked at her with disdain and continued, "After all, this bet doesn't seem to be of much use to me. I like something more practical."

"I want the Jiang family's property." Lin Mowan said, and Gong Shu Tingyue's expression, which had just been adjusted, froze again in an instant.

Lin Mowan smiled: "Compared to the Jiang family's property, I think you care more about the Queen Mother and the Emperor. After all, they are the reason why you dare to be so unscrupulous. As for Jiang Wenqing..."

Lin Mowan paused as she spoke, and imitated her disdainful look and said in a cold voice: "How can you not bear to part with such a philandering and selfish man?"

"..."

Hearing her light tone, Gongshu Tingyue was speechless for a moment. She pulled the corners of her mouth hard and gritted her teeth: "I'm betting with you. If you win, you get everything, and I don't need to give in. If you lose, I will not only take your life, I will also take your victory and defeat ranking!"

"it is good."

Lin Mowan smiled at her and agreed readily.

This conversation was not very useful, and Gongshu Tingyue did not get much useful information.

When he came out of the side hall, he seemed to be performing poorly, which made Gongshu Tingyue feel a little unsatisfied and his face looked bad all the way.

On the thirteenth day of Lin Mowan's house arrest, the door that had been closed for thirteen days finally slowly opened. It happened to be daytime, and a beam of sunlight squeezed in from the gradually expanding door of the palace.

Although it was noon and the sun was at its brightest, the cold weather in the twelfth lunar month was still chilly enough to make people shiver.

Lin Mowan stood at the door. Along with the sunlight, there was also a biting cold. She was wearing a thin white dress. Her face was rosy even without any makeup. The cold wind blew into her collar, lifting up the corners of her clothes, and made her head unusually clear.

"Miss, the Empress Dowager invites you." The eunuch who came to lead him was quite humble. He nodded slightly, stepped aside, and waited for Lin Mowan to come out.

Lin Mowan nodded: "Thank you."

They followed all the way through the corridors and garden paths. After about an incense stick's time, they arrived at a palace that looked magnificent.

They only sent her to the door and told Lin Mowan to go by herself.

When the palace door closed, the God of Wind outside was completely isolated by the door. She walked slowly into the palace. Before she entered, she saw from afar that the people sitting in the upper seats were not only the Queen Mother but also Gongshu Yanyu.

Beside him, there were Shen Weiyuan and Gong Shutingyue who also had solemn expressions, and...

Her eyes fell on the familiar man, the man who said he wanted to redeem her in Yuxiang Tower. Out of confusion, she couldn't help but look at him a few more times, but it didn't stop her from kneeling down to pay her respects.

"Lin Mowan." Gongshu Yanyu looked at Lin Mowan who was kneeling respectfully on the ground and said softly, "Do you recognize him?"

Lin Mowan was suspicious and looked in the direction of Gongshu Yanyu's finger. It was the man from before. She thought for a while and nodded.

Before Gongshu Yanyu could speak, Gongshu Tingyue beside him was delighted. Lin Mowan watched this scene calmly. She didn't understand what it meant, but she vaguely felt that it was a trap. She raised her eyes and looked at the person sitting upstairs. Gongshu Yanyu also frowned and paused, "When? Where?"

"..." Lin Mowan was silent. She looked at Lin Qinhai beside her with some doubt, then lowered her head again: "In..."

She looked really embarrassed, and it was hard for Gongshu Yanyu not to notice it. He frowned and glanced at Lin Qinhai with the same suspicion.

"You can say whatever you want." Gongshu Yanyu said.

Lin Mowan lowered her head and whispered, "About half a month ago, in Yuxiang Tower, this young man said he wanted to redeem me..."

She knew that he must be of prominent status to be here. Even if he was not a prince, he must be an important official. She did not dare to say anything, so there was nothing wrong with that.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed. Even Gong Shu Tingyue was stunned, as if he did not expect Lin Mowan to say such words.

"How dare you!" She was the first to react, slamming the table to intimidate, "Do you know who this person is? How can you be so irresponsible!"

Lin Mowan raised her eyelids slightly and her eyes met his: "If Madam doesn't believe me, just send someone to Yuxiang Tower to ask and you will know. Why should I say something that would hurt myself?"

Her eyes were sincere and her tone was calm, which left Gongshu Tingyue speechless.

At this time, Lin Qinhai coughed lightly, trying to hide the embarrassment on his face. After a long while, he said, "Stop arguing. This is indeed the case."

At this point, everyone present, except Shen Weiyuan and Lin Mowan, could not hide their shock. Before everyone could react, Lin Qinhai continued, "However, Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand. I was looking for someone, but when I saw her being bullied, I felt pity and helped her. But in the end, I also found out that this girl was not from Yuxianglou. It was really a misunderstanding."

After hearing his explanation, Gongshu Yanyu's expression obviously eased a lot.

Although Yuxianglou was different from other brothels, Gongshu Yanyu knew of the existence of this place and did not interfere, but it was still called a brothel, and many nobles and princes would never go through the front door even if they went there.

He nodded, his eyes turned and fell on Lin Mowan again: "You really don't recognize him?"

Lin Mowan looked at Lin Qinhai, but this time was different from before. Just now she just took a quick glance and didn't dare to look closely, but this time she looked at him carefully, but finally shook her head.

Gongshu Yanyu frowned and slowly let out a breath, not knowing what that meant. The Queen Mother at the side spoke up, "You may not have seen him, but if I tell you his name, you will know it. His name is Lin Qinhai, the son of the former admiral of the navy. Do you recognize him when I tell you that?"

With this identity, doesn’t that mean he is her uncle?

Lin Mowan felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, but her face remained calm. She forced herself to calm down, and finally shook her head.

Amid the suspicious eyes of the crowd, she sneered at herself, as if this was an extremely ridiculous thing. She raised her eyes and looked at Gongshu Yanyu: "May I ask your majesty, just because my last name is Lin and Lord Lin's last name is also Lin, does that mean we are definitely related?"

She frowned with a serious look. It had to be said that what he said was true. Lin was not a noble surname, and having the same surname as Lin did not necessarily mean they were related. Gongshu Yanyu was speechless.

Seeing the hesitation in his eyes, Lin Mowan struck while the iron was hot: "Your Majesty, my surname is Lin, but I really don't dare to try to get close to Lord Lin. I was born in a poor family, my parents died young, and they are not important people. Please check it out, Your Majesty."

Darlings, I have some things going on at home recently, so there may only be one chapter recently, but I will reply with two chapters and more chapters as soon as possible~
