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

Chapter 20: Say hello to your wife on my behalf
Shen Weiyuan ignored the two's excessive reactions, but just leaned forward slightly, still looking at Jiang Youxi with cold eyes, and said: "To be honest, if you hadn't kneeled just now, I would still respect you a little bit."

Jiang Youxi half-lay on the ground in a daze, his chest aching slightly, and looked at the person sitting high up with disbelief. However, Shen Weiyuan just paused for a moment and continued, "If she gets disfigured, you won't have to keep this skin anymore."

He said it lightly, but a chill emanated from his inside out. The old lady was so frightened that she fell back into her chair and stammered, "Second Master, he didn't mean it."

Upon hearing this, Shen Weiyuan interrupted her directly: "Whether he did it on purpose or not is not my business, but he hurt the person, so he cannot escape responsibility."

Shen Weiyuan's voice was not loud, but cold and steady, just loud enough for everyone in the room to hear clearly. The old lady's face became even paler. She turned to look at Jiang Wenqing, trying to get Jiang Wenqing to say a few words to plead for mercy, but Jiang Wenqing just turned his face away silently.

At this time, Doctor He, who had been silent, seemed to have thought of something, and hurried forward, bowed, and said, "Second Master, although the injury on Miss Lin's face is a little serious, it can still be cured with medicine. The most important thing is that the girl is weak and has palpitations and fright. She needs to rest, otherwise she will easily suffer from nightmares in the future."

As he spoke, Shen Weiyuan's originally cold face took on a hint of anger. He frowned, and suddenly remembered that Lin Mowan used to have nightmares frequently. After waking up, she would tremble all over and often have headaches. It was so strange and heartbreaking to see her.

Thinking of this, Shen Weiyuan looked at Jiang Youxi, who was struggling on the ground and unable to get up for a long time, with a look as if he was looking at a dead person.

Jiang Youxi was half lying on the ground, holding his chest. Shen Weiyuan looked at him with a frighteningly calm expression, but inexplicably he felt terrified and his back went cold. The whole room seemed to be shrouded in a terrifying haze for no reason.

Shen Weiyuan stared at him for a long time, then said calmly: "Did you hear clearly? Do you need me to tell you again?"

Jiang Youxi looked at him in a daze, then glanced at Doctor He who was standing beside him. He immediately understood what Shen Weiyuan meant. He nodded like a chick pecking at rice, then quickly shook his head, answering Shen Weiyuan's two questions simply and clearly.

He had never seen such a scary Shen Weiyuan. To be honest, although Shen Weiyuan had been famous for a long time, everyone was afraid of him. Even the current emperor had to be courteous to him.

But as for the Jiang family, on the one hand, the Jiang family was willing to curry favor with him and treat him with courtesy everywhere; on the other hand, it was said to be a grudge between their previous generations.

Jiang Wenqing once saved the old marquis of the Shen family who was on the verge of death, and the two of them became friends because of this. They have a very good relationship. Shen Weiyuan is a person who is very loyal to his own people, so even though the old marquis is gone, Shen Weiyuan has never said that he wants to sever ties with the Jiang family, and he has always taken care of the Jiang family.

Before this, no one in the Jiang family had ever touched his reverse scale, and he had never been rude to anyone in the Jiang family. The Jiang family could do whatever they wanted in Sheng'an, in addition to Jiang Wenqing's own career achievements, but also because of the evergreen support of the Shen family.

Over time, for Jiang Youxi, Shen Weiyuan seemed to have become his life-saving talisman in Sheng'an. Sometimes, when Jiang Wenqing's name was no longer effective, he would report Shen Weiyuan. As long as Shen Weiyuan was reported, no one would not be afraid.

Shen Weiyuan was so busy all day that he had no time to care about Jiang Youxi's troubles. He never asked about them unless they came to his attention.

After all, he was the descendant of a benefactor. No matter what happened in the past, as long as it was not against the law, he would basically agree to anything that Jiang Youxi asked him for personally.

So this time, Jiang Youxi thought that as long as he used the same trick again, he could get Lin Mowan from Shen Weiyuan even if Jiang Wenqing and Gongshu Tingyue disagreed. As long as Shen Weiyuan agreed, their objection would be useless.

But Jiang Youxi never expected that the result would be like this.

Shen Weiyuan didn't care, and continued coldly: "Please go, I have nothing to do. The old lady is not feeling well, so she can go back and rest. You don't have to accompany me."

After hearing that he stopped making trouble, the old lady's pale face eased a little, and she understood the meaning of his words. He came to see Lin Mowan and had nothing to do with them. The two of them asked for leave, left the maids and nannies to serve in the yard, and asked someone to help Jiang Youxi up and take him away. When they left Feiqing Courtyard, Shen Weiyuan's low and steady voice sounded again: "Master Jiang, please say hello to the respected lady on my behalf."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Wenqing, who had not yet stepped out of the room, trembled all over. He stood at the door for a long time before slowly turning his head. He met Shen Weiyuan's cold and oppressive eyes, and his legs almost went weak and he couldn't stand.

Even though he thought the relationship between the two families was very good, he could clearly feel Shen Weiyuan's cold tone at this moment, which was not what he meant literally.

He was probably aware of the entire process from Lin Mowan or Yuzhi, and also knew that it was Gongshu Tingyue who pushed Lin Mowan out personally.

Thinking of this, and thinking about the kick Jiang Youxi had just received, he broke out in a cold sweat. Gradually he came to his senses and realized that the feelings they had in the past were only the past after all.

Now that the old marquis is gone, Shen Weiyuan is the head of the Shen family. He is still willing to help the Jiang family out of a favor. If the relationship is severed in the future, he will not be criticized for his care for the Jiang family's life in the past few years and the promotion of Jiang Wenqing in officialdom.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wenqing felt a surge of powerlessness and panic in his heart. He couldn't tell whether he was afraid of Shen Weiyuan's warning to Gongshu Tingyue or was afraid of being powerless because of what might happen in the future.

His mind raced, and he quickly bent down and nodded: "Second Master, please calm down. It is my fault for not disciplining my child properly. I will definitely talk to you about it later."

He bowed again before respectfully leaving the room.

Yuzhi lifted the bead curtain that separated the inner room and the front hall, signaled Taohong to see Doctor He out, then followed him, closed the door, and turned back into the inner room.

Shen Weiyuan sat there, silent for a long while. Between leaving or going in to take another look, he chose the latter.

When he entered the room, Lin Mowan was still sitting on the bed, with Yuzhi kneeling beside her and carefully feeding her the medicine in the bowl. He was standing not far away beside the bed with his hands behind his back, his frown never relaxed.

Until the small bowl of medicine was finished, Yuzhi lowered her head, quickly packed up the things beside the bed, got up and left. When she heard the slight sound of the door closing, Shen Weiyuan sat down.

Noticing his gaze falling on her, Lin Mowan lowered her eyes, subconsciously turned her face to the side, and covered the wound on her cheek with the handkerchief in her hand.

In response, Shen Weiyuan did not say anything. He was silent for a while before speaking in a calm tone: "If you want to go back to Ziteng Garden, there is no problem."

Hearing this, Lin Mowan just raised her red eyes and looked at him. A glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes that were originally disappointed and aggrieved, but it quickly dimmed. She shook her head, and her voice was still hoarse because she had just cried.

She said, "No need. If I leave like this, wouldn't it make others talk bad about the Jiang family? The old lady is old and in poor health. If she listens to those gossips, who knows what will happen."

What she said was sincere and heartfelt, and every word was filled with worry. Shen Weiyuan said nothing, but his face became increasingly gloomy. There was another long silence. His hands, which were always holding swords and knives, were calloused. He gently took her hand, looking thoughtful, and sighed softly. Perhaps he felt guilty about his introduction, or maybe he felt sorry for her, Lin Mowan didn't know.

She looked at him. It was rare to see him with a dark face in front of her. The grievance and tears in his eyes gradually faded away. In a trance, a thought suddenly popped up in her mind. Was he worried that she would not look like that person after her face was disfigured, or was he really heartbroken that she was hurt?
