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

Chapter 228 Shen Weiyuan Look, the Begonia Blossoms Are Blooming (Ending)
"The future of the Shen family." Shen Junchi replied.

Lin Mowan was silent. She was wondering if these words were a reminder to her.

But before she could figure it out, Shen Junchi sighed and continued, "Ayuan said he didn't want to be the emperor."

"..." Lin Mowan was silent, still not knowing what to say. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Is Hua Rong dead?"

Shen Junchi turned around and looked at her. When their eyes met, there was a hint of tension. He seemed very dissatisfied with her performance. He said, "If you really love him, you shouldn't care so much."

Hearing this, Lin Mowan chuckled and turned her eyes away. With a playful look in her eyes, she said, "Mr. Shen, you are joking. I am not that kind. I am a human, not a god. I cannot avoid love, hate, anger, and stupidity."

"I admit that I treat him differently from others, and I respect any choice and decision he makes, but for me, I just hope that the person who is with me only has me in his heart."

As soon as she finished speaking, it was Shen Junchi's turn to chuckle. Lin Mowan didn't care. She knew that in this world, how could there be a man who didn't take concubines?
But then again, if it's Shen Weiyuan, it seems like this is really possible.

"She's not dead."

Shen Junchi spoke lightly. Although Lin Mowan was mentally prepared, when she actually heard it with her own ears, her heart couldn't help but tremble.

"Do you still remember the time when Gongshu Beicheng sent you to assassinate Gongshu Yanyu?" Shen Junchi asked her.

Lin Mowan frowned. She remembered some things and could barely piece them together, but she always felt that some parts were still unclear, such as who was the person who jumped down after her after she fell into the river.

Shen Junchi looked at her and understood everything from her tangled eyes. He sighed and continued, "He wanted to save you at that time. I asked Wei Lin to bring people to pull him up."

Lin Mowan was stunned for a moment, her head suddenly buzzing, and before she could react, Shen Junchi continued, "You forgot that you promised me three conditions when you left the Marquis' Mansion."

"The first is to never contact A Yuan again. Make him think you are dead."

"Second, keep in touch with me and pass on the news from the Guangning Palace."

"Third, from now on you are no longer - Hua, Rong."

The last two words were like a heavy blow to Lin Mowan's heart. Looking at the person in front of her, she suddenly felt a dull pain in her head.

In a trance, a strange yet familiar scene flashed through my mind - the dim light, Shen Junchi's cold face, and his cold words: "He saved you, do you want to destroy him?"

"Still can't remember?" Shen Junchi simply turned his wheelchair, turned around, and narrowed his eyes slightly, as if replicating the expression of that night.

He said: "If you disappear from his world, that would be the best reward for him. You don't want him to ruin the entire Shen family because of you, right? He saved you, but you repay him with hatred. Wouldn't you feel guilty?"

My conscience is uneasy...

The last four words poured into her ears like a spell. Lin Mowan looked at the man in front of her and felt that he seemed to be gradually becoming the same cold and superior face in her vague memory.

As she watched his lips opening and closing, her mind was filled with a huge buzzing sound and she could no longer hear what he said after "I feel guilty".

"Stop! Stop! Don't say anymore!" She felt a sharp pain in her head and covered her ears, trying to block out the buzzing in her head and Shen Junchi's vague voice to relieve the pain.

She was breathing heavily and sweating all over. Something was rushing towards her as it broke through the fog in her brain.

Time seemed to flow back quickly, and she felt dizzy for a while, as if she was back in the snow and ice. She asked for help several times but to no avail. She could only kneel beside her mother crying, watching her life slip away bit by bit.

Until she was found by the criminals who had returned, and was pulled and dragged in the snow, and finally her clothes were stripped off, a shout came from outside the alley:
"stop!"

"Wan Wan."

Memory and reality alternated, and the two voices miraculously overlapped. She turned her head sharply, and saw that Shen Weiyuan had been standing not far behind her. As the buzzing sound in her head stopped abruptly, the originally chaotic and blurred memory seemed to be straightened out in an instant, and the boy's face against the moonlight gradually overlapped with the face in front of her.

Everything seemed to become clear in an instant. It was not that she had accidentally forgotten, but that she did not want to remember. She was afraid that what Shen Junchi had said back then would come true.

Shen Junchi was right. He saved her, brought her back, and changed her name. She couldn't repay kindness with evil. She was not a noble lady, but Lord Shen's wife could not have a bad background. Even if she was just a concubine, she couldn't have any stain on her.

What's more, she is the descendant of a criminal.

"what happened?"

Seeing her eyes moist and a bit absent-minded, Shen Weiyuan immediately became anxious. He took a few big steps forward, naturally held her hand, and looked at Shen Junchi: "Brother, it was my idea to let Baiyun save her first. She had no choice."

This sounded like an explanation, but his determined look seemed more like he was taking the blame, as if telling him again: "If you must blame someone, blame me, not her."

Shen Junchi remained silent, just looking at him with a look of being used to it but also full of disappointment. After a long time, he said nothing and just pushed the wheelchair away silently.

Shen Weiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the person holding his hand, but happened to meet her eyes. Before he could speak, Lin Mowan took the lead and said, "It's you, right?"

Shen Weiyuan was stunned, but she didn't give him a chance to respond, and continued: "The only person in the alley that night who was mine, the person who helped me bury my mother, and the person who tried desperately to save me on the boat were you, right?"

As she spoke, tears were already streaming down her face. Although her words were all questions, her tone was affirmative. She remembered everything, and everything seemed to become clear all of a sudden.

Shen Weiyuan had not yet recovered from the surprise of her recovering her memory. Lin Mowan calmed her excitement, but she couldn't suppress her trembling heart.

She asked him, "Why didn't you tell me? What if I really believed what Gongshu Beicheng said and it was bad for you?"

She felt a little bit of blame. Just thinking about it now made her feel scared. When she thought about how he used to bully her by taking advantage of his status, she felt inexplicably angry.

"You're such a bastard." She sniffed, her eyes red and full of blame and dissatisfaction.

Shen Weiyuan seemed to have just realized something, and suddenly smiled, then hugged her in his arms with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to embed her completely into his body.

His voice trembled with excitement: "Yes, yes, yes, Rong'er is you, Wanwan is also you, they are all you, there has never been a second person."

But at this moment, Lin Mowan, who was being strangled to the point of being unable to breathe, could not care less. She had no choice but to push him away: "Don't be so tight!"

He didn't care and was still immersed in the joy that Lin Mowan remembered him.

Fortunately, he couldn't sleep tonight and went out for a walk, otherwise he might have missed it...

In the 68th year of Yuanzheng, the Xiao family proclaimed themselves emperors, and the country was at peace. The entire Gongshu family was exterminated, and according to their merits, the Shen family was made kings, and the Lin family - the former admiral of the navy was vindicated, and the generations of loyal and honest people were all innocent, and were made marquises of Zhenyuan...

Wisteria Garden.

After getting married, they hadn't lived here for a long time. They would come to see the crabapple flowers occasionally. They had finally managed to get away from the busy banquets and come here to have some peace and quiet.

The moonlight was bright, cicadas were chirping, and the breeze was blowing with the fragrance of flowers. Lin Mowan was lying on a rocking chair in a light pink dress, with her eyes closed, resting, and flower petals falling all over her body.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw that the crabapple flowers that were just buds at dusk were now in full bloom, with petals filling the sky. She raised her hand to hold the wind, but the wind blew the petals through her fingers.

Shen Weiyuan came out of the house with some tea and snacks. Lin Mowan murmured, "Shen Weiyuan, look, the crabapple blossoms are blooming."
