Chapter 194: After the Sinner
Gongshu Yanyu's eyes darkened, and he seemed to be unable to make up his mind for a moment. He just turned his head and looked at Lin Qinhai beside him: "What does Zuo Xianwang say?"

At that moment, not only Lin Mowan, but the others also turned their heads to look over. Lin Qinhai's brows gradually wrinkled into a "川" shape. After hesitating for a moment, he lightly sighed and said, "I really don't know him."

Lin Mowan slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Gongshu Tingyue said dissatisfiedly, "Impossible! She is obviously your sister's daughter, how could you not recognize her?"

She looked a little exasperated, and looked at Lin Qinhai with shocked and anxious eyes. She was inexplicably surprised that Lin Qinhai had originally been on her side, but had suddenly turned against her.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother reacted in time and coughed heavily. Gongshu Tingyue was stunned, and quickly controlled his expression. His eyes swept across Lin Mowan's face, as if he was observing Lin Mowan's expression.

Although it was only a moment, Lin Mowan still caught a hint of information from the words she blurted out in a hurry. It seemed that she should find out everything, so today, she was determined to win.

While searching, Lin Mowan raised her eyes and pretended to look casually at Shen Weiyuan beside her. Shen Weiyuan seemed to be able to read her thoughts. Their eyes met. After a brief look, Shen Weiyuan gave her an imperceptible comforting look.

Lin Mowan lowered her eyes, and Lin Qinhai spoke up: "Madam Jiang, what do you mean by this? Are you suspecting me of favoritism? Besides, my sister has been dead for nearly ten years, and Madam is still throwing dirty water on her. Ha, what is your intention?"

Gongshu Tingyue was stunned. It seemed that something unexpected and the direction of things did not develop as she expected, and her face suddenly changed.

She sneered: "Lin Yirou is indeed dead, but how do you know for sure that she has no daughter?"

"Oh?" Lin Mowan sneered and spoke first: "Madam, you know it very well. You keep saying that I have a relationship with this Zuo Xian Wang. How can you prove it? You can't just rely on a few words without any evidence, right?"

Now that we have come to this, we must understand today's matter. Lin Mowan looked at Gongshu Tingyue who was sitting in the upper seat. Lin Mowan's eyes were sharp, and even had a hint of provocation that only Gongshu Tingyue could understand.

Lin Mowan knew it too well. At this moment, she was most anxious to bring Lin Mowan down. To her, Lin Mowan was her shame and a fish that had escaped the net. If she had been more rigorous at the beginning, Lin Mowan would not have survived.

She was probably very regretful, but Lin Mowan absolutely didn't believe that she would be willing to make public the fact that Lin Mowan was Jiang Wenqing's biological daughter. However, if she wanted to truly prove that Lin Yirou was Lin Mowan's mother, it would involve Lin Mowan's life experience and the truth of that year.

Sure enough, after hearing Lin Mowan's words, Gongshu Tingyue's face changed. After a little hesitation, he said, "Of course I have evidence. The girl who came out of Yuxiang Tower saw you and Lin Yirou going in and out of Yuxiang Tower together. You must have been young at that time, so the time matches."

This is not wrong. When she was a child, due to her status, Lin Yirou often took the young Lin Mowan back to Yuxiang Tower, and many older girls knew about it.

Most of them were redeemed and left Yuxianglou, but many stayed in Yuxianglou and used special drugs to maintain their youth so that they could continue to stay in Yuxianglou.

Lin Mowan didn't know who the witness she was talking about was. She just sneered at her and was not afraid at all: "Then call the witness, Your Majesty."

The eunuch at the side turned to look at Gongshu Yanyu's expression. Gongshu Yanyu was a little hesitant, but there seemed to be no better way now, so he finally nodded.

"Send Miss Yuxianglou to make a remonstration!" As the chief eunuch announced loudly, the palace door was gently pushed open, and a graceful woman came in from outside, twisting her waist, and knelt on the ground properly to greet everyone.

"Zhu Qing, take a look, do you know the person next to you?" Gong Shu Yanyu said.

The woman called Zhu Qing slowly turned her head and looked at Lin Mowan beside her. She looked him over carefully and finally nodded affirmatively: "I know him."

"Oh?"

Except for Lin Qinhai, Shen Weiyuan and Lin Mowan, everyone else's faces instantly turned from gloomy to bright. Gongshu Tingyue asked hurriedly: "Where is she? Who is she with? Tell me in detail. If it is useful, there will be a big reward!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qing's back seemed to straighten a little, and she nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I have indeed seen Miss Lin in Yuxiang Tower. Miss Lin has a good relationship with our Aunt Hong and often comes to see Aunt Hong."

"I remember that there was a noble lady who came to Yuxianglou. She was a relative of an official who had fallen on hard times and was accused of a crime. Aunt Hong liked her very much and took good care of her."

"Later, she paid out of her own pocket to redeem herself for a scholar and left Yuxianglou. Later, she often brought her daughter with that man back to visit Aunt Hong."

As she spoke, she paused and looked back at Lin Mowan: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, Madam Jiang, I dare not lie. This Miss Lin is 80% similar to the noble who was in trouble back then. And if the child is still alive, he should be this age now."

After Zhu Qing finished speaking, Gongshu Tingyue's face lit up, he slapped the table, raised his finger and pointed at Lin Mowan, asking for punishment: "Lin Mowan! What else do you have to say! You hid your identity as a criminal, deliberately sneaked into my Jiang family, and killed my child with ulterior motives. What is your purpose? "

Realizing that this matter was no longer a secret, it was impossible for Lin Mowan not to panic, but she had to force herself to calm down. She clenched her palms into fists so tightly that her nails dug into the flesh, and pulled the corners of her mouth.

She did not answer Gong Shu Tingyue's words, but turned her gaze slightly and fell on Zhu Qing beside her, her eyes as cold as a knife: "Miss Zhu Qing, you should think about it carefully. The last person who framed me was beaten to death."

Zhu Qing lowered her head and did not answer her, seeming to feel guilty. Lin Mowan continued, "Okay, since you said so, then let me ask you, young lady, you said that I am the child of the nobleman you know and a scholar, so where is the scholar? Who is my father?"

"..." Zhu Qing said nothing and lowered her head. She did not lie in the first place. She just told the truth about what she saw. But when she thought about it carefully, she really couldn't remember who that poor scholar was.

I knew she would not be able to say it, otherwise Gongshu Tingyue would not have asked her to testify. This kind of testimony can prove that Lin Mowan is Lin Yirou's daughter without exposing Jiang Wenqing.

She raised her head calmly and looked at Gongshu Tingyue: "Madam, you are so sure, so you must know who that poor scholar is, right? Or is this a story you made up from the beginning, and there is no such person at all?"

Lin Mowan said this with a calm expression and a faint smile in her eyes. She was certain that she would not give Jiang Wenqing away, and she did not even try to hide the provocation in her eyes.

Gongshu Tingyue had never been so humiliated before. She gripped the handle of the chair tightly, almost biting her teeth off, but she was still hesitating between saying it and not saying it.
