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

Chapter 3 Stay away from me
Lin Mowan's eyes darkened slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed through them, but she did not flare up. Instead, Qiu He beside her was horrified, and hurriedly blocked the child, and gently admonished: "Young Master, don't talk nonsense!"

She gave a warning look, then turned back to look at Lin Mowan, and said with a smile: "Children are ignorant, Miss Lin, please don't take it to heart. This is our second young master."

After that, she called to Jiang Youan who was standing beside her: "Second Young Master, this is Miss Lin. She will be your eldest sister in the future. Don't talk nonsense anymore. If the old lady knows, she will be unhappy."

Jiang Youan didn't care. He glanced at Qiu He coldly, then squinted at Lin Mowan and said arrogantly, "She is not my eldest sister. She is just a little whore. My sister said that she seduced Second Brother Shen. Otherwise, she would not be able to enter our Jiang family."

This really sounds like something Jiang Ruixue would say.

After hearing this, Qiu He was shocked again. His face looked extremely ugly, and he was visibly frightened. However, Lin Mowan only smiled slightly, hiding the coldness in her eyes, and said, "It's okay. Children can talk without restraint."

Seeing that Lin Mowan seemed to be a soft persimmon, Qiuhe immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After a moment of silence, the maids and servants who were delivering things in the courtyard all left one by one. Lin Mowan said again: "By the way, there is a kite in my room. I specially prepared it for the second young master as a gift. Please help me find it, sister Qiuhe."

"Okay, girl, please wait a moment." Qiu He took the order and turned to go into the house.

For a moment, Lin Mowan and Jiang Youan were the only ones left in the yard. Seeing this, Jiang Youan snorted and was about to pick up the bamboo ball that had fallen on the ground, but Lin Mowan bent down and picked it up first.

"This young master orders you to give it back to me!" He raised his chin and stretched out his hand, "Otherwise, when Daddy comes back, I'll have someone send a big black dog to bite you to death!"

Lin Mowan didn't care and just squatted down slowly. Seeing this, he pretended to rush up to grab it, but Lin Mowan pinched his face, pressed the tiger's mouth against his chin, and applied force with her hand. He squinted his eyes in pain and was about to cry. He held Lin Mowan's wrist weakly, with some disbelief in his eyes.

Lin Mowan just smiled and said coldly: "You uneducated thing, I will use pliers to pull out your teeth one by one, and then sew your mouth shut with needle and thread."

She suddenly increased the strength in her hands, as if she wanted to crush his jaw. How could the child endure such force? He immediately trembled in pain all over, and even his whimpers were trembling.

She looked at him, admiring his increasingly frightened and helpless expression, and said faintly: "Listen, either keep your mouth shut or stay away from me, otherwise, I will still feel a little guilty when I chop off your hands and feet and pull out your tongue."

She said she felt guilty, but the strength in her hands did not lessen at all. Her jaw was almost taken off by her before she suddenly let go of her hands. Jiang Youan took a few steps back. It was not known whether it was because of the pain or the fear, but he could no longer control himself and burst into tears.

At this time, Qiu He heard Jiang Youan crying and hurried out: "Hey, little ancestor, what happened?"

Lin Mowan stood up calmly, her eyes filled with helplessness and embarrassment, but she still smiled gently: "I don't know either. I picked up the ball and gave it back to him, but he insisted that he didn't want it because I had touched it, and then he started crying."

She handed the ball over, but Jiang Youan knocked the ball out of her hand as if in protest and cried even harder, which just confirmed what Lin Mowan had just said.

Lin Mowan lowered her eyes and laughed secretly. Qiu He quickly picked up the ball on the ground and explained awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Miss Lin, he wasn't like this before. Maybe he's not used to seeing strangers."

This reason was a bit far-fetched, but Lin Mowan was still gentle and easy to talk to, and said quickly: "It doesn't matter, the second young master is smart and clever, I like him too."

After saying that, she turned her eyes slightly, and fell on Jiang Youan with a half-smile. As if seeing the cold light flashing in her eyes, Jiang Youan lost his previous domineering attitude, and quickly stopped crying, hiding behind Qiuhe and sobbing in a low voice.

Qiu He looked at her with an embarrassed expression, and said apologetically: "Miss, I'm really sorry, I didn't find the kite you mentioned."

Lin Mowan pretended to be confused: "Ah? How could that be?" Then she thought for a moment, looked around, and said: "Maybe I remembered it wrong, these things are so messy, wait for the girls to sort them out, I will find them and send them over."

"Thank you, young lady." Qiu He nodded, took Jiang Youan to take his leave, and left in a hurry. After watching them go away, Lin Mowan withdrew her gaze. After watching the two figures, one big and one small, go away, Lin Mowan withdrew her gaze, sneered, and returned her gaze to the crabapple tree in full bloom in front of her.

Soon, the maids from Zither Garden moved the last few things into the yard, and the leading maid came in holding a calico cat with bright fur.

Lin Mowan turned around and saw the kitten meowing at her. She reached out and took it from the girl and sat down on a chair beside her. The kitten yawned lazily, purred, and lay on her legs and closed its eyes.

She stroked its back gently, and the petals of the crabapple tree fluttered in the wind, leisurely and comfortable. The girl next to her came forward and whispered, "Miss, the master said he would come to the Jiang family for dinner tonight. Do you want to change your clothes?"

Her name is Yuzhi. She was sent by Shen Weiyuan to take care of her closely three years ago. She is considerate and smart, and is easy to use.

Hearing her reminder, Lin Mowan paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and said calmly: "It's not the first time we meet, there's no need to be too grand, just change into something simple."

Tonight is not a good night to be in the spotlight. Some people will actively want to be the center of attention. After all, a young girl in love always wants to leave a deep impression on her lover.

Lin Mowan just thought about it and curled her lips with interest, and Yuzhi didn't ask any more questions. She answered and turned around to prepare...

It was not until the evening that news came from the front yard that Jiang Wenqing, the head of the Jiang family, had returned. He said that he had invited Shen Weiyuan to his house for a drink and asked her to go to the front hall to eat together.

When Lin Mowan arrived at the front hall, no one had come yet. Only busy maids and servants were coming in and out, so the nanny took her aside to rest for a while.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she sat down, a swaggering and familiar voice came from outside the door: "Who does she think she is! How dare she snatch it from me? Do you have the guts?"

Lin Mowan raised her eyes and saw Jiang Ruixue had already walked in. As expected, just as Lin Mowan had thought, she was still wearing a red dress with gorgeous peony embroidery on her cuffs and belt. She had on light makeup, and looked playful yet a bit naive like a girl.

She glanced in the direction of Lin Mowan with contempt and snorted disdainfully. She walked into the hall with the maid who served Wei Nuo and sat down. She took out her small mirror and happily fixed her makeup.

Another girl came in right behind her. Unlike Jiang Ruixue's arrogance, she just lowered her eyes, walked to the corner, sat down, and waited quietly.

Lin Mowan remembered her. She was also in the old lady's bedroom during the day, but they never spoke. It was said that she was the second daughter of the Jiang family, named Yanran.

When everyone from the Jiang family arrived one after another, even the old lady who had been bedridden for a long time got out of bed, washed up, and was helped into the hall.

At a glance, almost all the Jiang family members had arrived, except Jiang Wenqing who had not yet returned home, and Shen Weiyuan who had not yet come to the banquet. However, the old lady's eyes stopped on another empty seat that should not have been there.

That is the seat of Jiang Youxi, the eldest son of the Jiang family.

The old lady frowned, "Where is Xi Ge'er? Where did Xi Ge'er go again? He is not at home all day. It would be fine if it was a normal day, but today is such an important day, and no one informed him?"

Everyone looked at each other, no one dared to speak, Qiu He on the side hurriedly said: "I've got it, the eldest master said he will be back soon."

As he was speaking, the servant who was delivering the message outside came running in hurriedly: "They are back, they are back. The master and Mr. Shen are here."
