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

Chapter 21 I will try my best to return to my original state
As she pondered, she inexplicably felt a sense of sadness mixed with other emotions, but it was quickly suppressed by her reason. She knew that this was not a problem she could care about, and the answer seemed obvious.

In fact, at the beginning, she had different expectations for Shen Weiyuan. He had a face that would make countless young girls fall in love with him. His smooth facial contours outlined his extremely handsome appearance.

Especially those peach blossom eyes that could make even a dog look at them with deep affection, coupled with his tall and strong figure, his cold and aloof temperament, and an awe-inspiring respect that made people feel intimidated without even getting angry, it's hard not to fall for him.

Materially, he treated her very well, never depriving her of food, clothing and other expenses, and gave her more than enough money every month, but his attitude was always quite cold every time she came.

At the beginning, he never took the initiative. Every time he came, he was like a cold stone, just sitting there reading a book. He even ignored her when she offered him tea, as if the book in his hand was more interesting than her.

Every time this happened, Lin Mowan was puzzled. If he didn't want to, why did he keep her? If he kept her, why was he so cold to her?

She even wanted to tell him that if he was really so reluctant, he didn't have to come. But thinking about her own situation, she had to swallow her words because she knew that if he really didn't come, she would end up as a corpse.

So she could only be forced to take the initiative, to change his clothes, to hug him, to kiss him tremblingly, to beg him for mercy. She didn't know if it was because he didn't have it, or because she didn't notice his reluctance, but he would take the initiative at the right time...

It's probably because no man can refuse a woman who approaches him actively. Over time, although his attitude remains cold, he won't just read books like he did at the beginning.

Lin Mowan knows that she is a person with many problems, especially lack of love. Sometimes she doesn't even think she is a normal person in all aspects.

But regarding the matter between her and Shen Weiyuan, she has always been very careful about her manners. She doesn't ask what she shouldn't ask, doesn't inquire about what she shouldn't know, and doesn't interfere in things that she shouldn't do.

She is neither a noble nor a girl from an aristocratic family. Shen Weiyuan only needs a glance to see her dead. He treats her well only because of her face. In his eyes, she is just a domesticated bird. People's hearts are always fickle. She must get rid of the Jiang family before he gets tired of her completely.

Every time she realizes that her thoughts or actions are about to cross the red line, she will pull herself back promptly and rationally. She is very restrained and knows clearly that she cannot fall.

This time is also the case...

In the end, she didn't have the courage to ask the question that she felt was beyond her boundaries. After adjusting her mentality, Lin Mowan held his hand in return, seemingly to comfort him, but in Shen Weiyuan's eyes, it was more like uneasy self-consolation. She said like a promise, "Second Master, I will be fine, and I will definitely not have a scar."

She looked at him, and her eyes, which seemed to be filled with stars and the sea, seemed to be pleading, saying, "Don't abandon me, I will try my best to return to my original state."

Lin Mowan knew that he cared a lot about her face, but what satisfied him equally was her extremely flattering, obedient and sensible character. It didn't matter whether she really thought so or not, what mattered was to make Shen Weiyuan feel that it was true.

But to Lin Mowan's surprise, after hearing what she said, he didn't seem very happy, but seemed even more worried. In the end, he didn't explain anything, but just sighed again and told her to have a good rest.

What was even more strange was that Shen Weiyuan, who used to come and go in a hurry, stayed with her in the yard for a long time today for the first time. It was not until Wei Lin knocked on the door to remind him that he had to go to the palace to meet the emperor. He stood up and prepared to leave, but stopped, bent down, lowered his head, gently lifted her chin, and kissed her forehead.

Lin Mowan's expression froze. This unprecedented tenderness made her a little unbelievable for a moment. Before she could react to the surprise, Shen Weiyuan had already turned around and left.

Finally, he stopped his steps that were about to leave the inner room, turned around to look at the person on the bed, and whispered: "If the Jiang family makes things difficult for you again, let them come to me and tell them what I said."

Lin Mowan came to her senses quickly after hearing that, and hastily sorted out her messy thoughts. She turned to look at him, still nodded obediently and gratefully, and replied, "Okay." It's not that she didn't want to leave here, but she couldn't leave for the time being. She was worried that the old woman was just a good person who was setting up an easy target for her.

If she left, all her previous efforts would be wasted. She was willing to risk disfigurement and bring the matter to Shen Weiyuan's attention. Now that things had come to this, she only needed the final push to complete the first step of her plan. Of course, she would not give up so easily.

In the next few days, Lin Mowan was recuperating in Feiqing Hospital. Since Shen Weiyuan came in person, the Jiang family's attitude towards her became much better.

It has been two or three months since she entered the Jiang family. The Jiang family has never paid attention to her affairs, but since Shen Weiyuan came and left, the old lady has become more and more concerned about her. She asks Qiu He to send things to her courtyard every few days. The maids and old women in the mansion who originally treated her as nothing now welcome her with a smile.

He always called Lin Mowan "you" in the past, but now he changed his tone very quickly and called her "Miss Lin" and "Miss Lin" in a very affectionate manner.

The person who came most frequently was Jiang Youxi, but unfortunately Yuzhi didn't let him in, so he could only stand at the door, wandering for a while before leaving in disappointment.

I heard from the servants in the mansion that Jiang Youxi was kicked and suffered internal injuries. After his injuries recovered, his playboy nature showed no sign of restraining. The difference is that he used to play outside, but now he brings his friends back to play.

Almost every day, someone would bring back one or several girls from outside. These girls either came for money or wanted to marry Jiang Youxi to the Jiang family's eldest son. Even if they became concubines, they would not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

It's a pity that Jiang Youxi asked them to come for fun, but his way was different from that of normal men. It seemed that he wanted to vent his depression and unwillingness. Every night, one could hear the women's extremely miserable screams, which was creepy.

Fortunately, Feiqingyuan was far away from where Jiang Youxi lived, so no noise could be heard. The girls were brought in secretly at night, and were carried out at dawn after being tortured until they fainted.

Don’t be fooled by Jiang Youxi’s abnormal behavior at night. As soon as the sun rises, he returns to his original appearance. He doesn’t look bad, and is even considered mature among the many noble young men, with a rather elegant temperament.

He would come to Feiqing Courtyard every day, always with an apologetic look on his face. He would stand at the door, staring blankly inside, his eyes full of worry and apology towards Lin Mowan.

Of course, all this was heard from Taohong. With Shen Weiyuan's words in mind, Yuzhi would not let him in, and no one else dared to make the decision on their own.

Every time Jiang Youxi came, Taohong would describe the situation vividly. Lin Mowan just listened without saying anything. She leaned back on the armchair holding Sanhua in her arms...

As the weather got colder, winter came unknowingly. The cold wind was howling, and it was stinging on the face. Lin Mowan's house was the first to burn charcoal. Due to the wound on her face, she had not gone out for a long time.

As time went by, the wounds on his face scabbed and peeled off, and finally only a faint mark remained. Shen Weiyuan found the best ointment and had it sent to him.

Perhaps because of Shen Weiyuan's shock, Lin Mowan lived a very quiet life these past few days, until Sheng'an welcomed the first snow of the year, that was one early morning.

Lin Mowan got up early. It was still dark and the snow had been falling for a long time. It was quiet outside. There was a thin layer of snow on the ground and on the eaves and branches. The cold wind was bitingly chilly.

The door was gently pushed open, and Yuzhi led the people behind her to stand at the entrance. She shook off the snowflakes that had accumulated on her shoulders, walked quickly into the inner room, and walked to Lin Mowan who was sitting in front of the stove and teasing the kitten. She whispered, "Miss, Lord Jiang is here."
