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

Chapter 227 You Like Him Very Much

But Shen Junchi was also pressed down and completely buried by the snow. Shen Weiyuan used his hands to dig away the snow layer by layer...

Later, a passing carriage rescued the two men. Shen Junchi was hit in the lumbar spine and his legs have been paralyzed since then.

Later, the old marquis died suddenly. People said that he was overworked and depressed. In short, his death was very strange. At that time, Shen Weiyuan was fifteen years old. He was talented and gifted, and was quite loved by the old emperor.

After the old marquis died, Shen Weiyuan inherited the title of marquis as the runner-up in the imperial examination, and the status of the Shen family rose instead of falling.

Later, the prince launched a palace coup to seize the throne. The Shen family was on the verge of collapse and almost became a fish on the chopping board. Fortunately, the Xiao family and the Bai family supported them, and their mentor Qu Xiangru gave them some advice.

Shen Junchi devoted himself to managing the affairs of the Shen family's inner courtyard and solving internal problems, which allowed Shen Weiyuan to concentrate on dealing with external enemies, and the Shen family was finally temporarily out of danger.

As for Hong, she disappeared after the old marquis died suddenly. Some people were curious at first, but the Shen family kept silent about it. No one knew what happened exactly, it was as if she disappeared overnight.

After hearing what Bai Yun said, Lin Mowan couldn't help but feel moved. Originally, she really hated Shen Junchi. Although he looked like Shen Weiyuan, his personality seemed to be completely opposite to Shen Weiyuan.

When they met formally in Wisteria Garden, before either of them opened their mouths to speak, Lin Mowan could clearly feel the hostility he exuded towards her.

At that time, she just felt confused. It was clearly the first time they met. She didn't understand the hatred that seemed to have accumulated for decades and was about to pierce her.

But now think about it, maybe her relationship with Shen Weiyuan at that time was indeed not so glorious. In Shen Junchi's mind, if this relationship were to be known by others, she would be despised, which would be a small matter, but it would ruin Shen Weiyuan's reputation, which would be a big matter.

After all, at this critical juncture, the Shen family has finally regained a place in this cannibalistic vortex of power. If the Shen family is pushed to the forefront again because of this relationship, then the Shen family's reputation is bound to plummet.

In addition, Shen Weiyuan has not yet married, so her existence would be a nuisance to the future mistress of the Shen family.

Thinking of this, she actually understood Shen Junchi's disgust for her. She thought that if she were in Shen Junchi's position, she would definitely not like this disgraceful relationship, including herself now.

But once, she really had no choice. If she didn't rely on Shen Weiyuan, the only thing waiting for her was death.

Lin Mowan lowered her eyes, her heart filled with emotion. Bai Yun gently patted her shoulder and said, "What about you and Shen Weiyuan? Wait until everything is settled, then talk to him properly. He always likes to worry about everything, and sometimes he is really unreasonable, but he is just afraid that the Shen family will fail."

"..."

Lin Mowan remained silent and did not respond. To be more precise, she did not know what to say. In fact, she knew in her heart that the conflict between her and Shen Weiyuan was not entirely due to Shen Junchi's lack of support.

At this moment, the sound of approaching horse hooves came from a distance. The soldiers who were resting nearby became alert instantly, but after seeing who was coming, they slowly relaxed.

"Xiao Sheng!" Bai Yun saw Xiao Sheng walking side by side with Shen Weiyuan at first sight, and jumped up and waved at him.

Following Bai Yun's gaze, Lin Mowan also saw the two dusty men. They got off their horses, and Bai Yun rushed forward first and gave Xiao Sheng a bear hug.

Shen Weiyuan stood in place. After getting off the horse, he quickly scanned the crowd with a panicked gaze, and finally met the pair of eyes he had been thinking about day and night. The panic in his eyes dissipated, and he even breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as if he had survived a calamity.

The two of them stared at each other from a distance through the people passing by. Looking at his face, which was splattered with blood that had not been wiped off in time, he looked a little messy, but not embarrassed. It was obvious that he had won a battle. Lin Mowan also smiled at him.

"Ayuan." A familiar voice interrupted the two people's gaze at each other as if no one was around. When they looked over at the same time, they saw Shen Junchi being pushed over by the guards behind him.

Shen Junchi just glanced in Lin Mowan's direction. Lin Mowan lowered her eyes and looked at Shen Weiyuan again. This time, there was clear apology in Shen Weiyuan's eyes.

Thinking of what Bai Yun said just now, Lin Mowan just smiled and shook her head, indicating that she was fine. Shen Weiyuan nodded, his eyes full of reluctance.

Shen Junchi approached, Shen Weiyuan lowered his eyes and frowned as he talked to him for a few words. Lin Mowan just stood beside the carriage and watched, also to make sure that he was okay. She turned her head and looked around, confirming that only Shen Weiyuan and Xiao Sheng had brought people back. She suddenly felt a little worried.

He glanced at Shen Weiyuan who was talking to Shen Junchi, hesitated for a long time, then turned around and walked through the crowd towards Xiao Sheng and Bai Yun, with whom he had already been intimate.

"General Xiao." Lin Mowan took the initiative to greet him. Xiao Sheng was a little surprised. The two of them had no interactions on a daily basis and were not familiar enough to greet each other. But out of politeness, he still nodded slightly.

"My uncle and others..." she said, frowning for fear of hearing some bad words.

Xiao Sheng suddenly realized what was going on and quickly replied, "Don't worry, young lady. General Lin is very experienced and is working with others to clean up the remaining gang members. Second Master and I came back first."

After hearing the news that they were safe and sound, Lin Mowan nodded as if relieved...

After the team was organized, everyone found a place to set up camp with a wide view and not easily ambushed.

into the night.

Lin Mowan lay in the tent, but couldn't fall asleep. Her mind was full of what Bai Yun had said about the Shen family during the day.

She knew that the situation in a powerful family would never be resolved, but for some reason, she just felt depressed.

Since she couldn't fall asleep anyway, she decided to go out for a walk. The midnight wind was a little chilly and it was very quiet outside, with only patrolling soldiers passing by from time to time.

She was walking, intending to relax by herself, but when she looked up, she saw a familiar figure not far away, sitting in a wheelchair with his back to her, seemingly looking into the distance.

Lin Mowan subconsciously stopped and did not walk over. She did not want to start a conversation and make herself look boring. She hesitated for a moment and wanted to take another route, but as soon as she turned around, the other party spoke first: "Don't you want to chat?"

She paused and looked towards the somewhat lonely figure, hesitating whether to walk over.

"I can tell you about Hua Rong."

As he spoke, these words seemed to completely dissuade Lin Mowan from leaving, and she walked over as if possessed by a ghost.

Shen Junchi was not too surprised. He just raised the corners of his lips and said, "You like Ayuan very much."

This is not a question, but an affirmation.

Lin Mowan didn't answer, but followed his gaze and saw the brightly lit imperial city. She asked, "What are you looking at?"
