Chapter 36: Get Her Out

Seeing her so crazy, Jiang Youxi was so scared that he stepped back. His hand was raised high but he didn't fall down for a long time. He was trembling all over. He repeated the word "you" several times but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Lin Mowan's indifferent expression revealed an undisguised cruelty. Seeing her so mad, Jiang Wenqing's chest heaved violently due to his anger and could not calm down for a long time.

Looking at her face which was 70% similar to Lin Yirou, he staggered back and suddenly felt a pain in his heart. He covered his chest in pain, his facial features wrinkled up in pain, and he fell down on the chair, his blood rushing to his heart and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Lin Mowan stood aside, chuckling with a cold look in her eyes, and then covered her mouth in fear: "Oh! Father, why are you vomiting blood? You have to take care of yourself."

Jiang Wenqing sat in his seat, the fishy taste in his mouth had not yet dissipated, his chest ached slightly, and even his vision was a little dark. He simply closed his eyes and didn't look at her. He just squeezed out a word from between his teeth with an unstable breath: "Get lost."

His voice was not loud, but it was filled with anger that could not be ignored. Lin Mowan felt refreshed as she looked at his flushed face and the bulging veins on his forehead. She put away her exaggerated acting skills, raised the corners of her mouth from the inside out, but did not leave.

Jiang Wenqing didn't hear any movement for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help but look up at her, then closed his eyes and repeated: "Get out."

Lin Mowan smiled and bowed respectfully: "My daughter will take her leave."

She turned and left. It was not until the sound of the door opening and closing was heard for a long time that Jiang Wenqing dared to open his eyes and look towards the door. His chest, which had been rising and falling violently, calmed down a little, and his eyes were extremely complicated...

Late at night a few days later.

It was snowing heavily and the windows were creaking in the cold wind. Ever since Chunxiang was driven out, Jiang Youxi was forced to lock himself in his room. He had long been addicted to opium and would go crazy if he didn't smoke for a day. He couldn't control himself at all and would make a fuss and yell at him. Almost every day, one could hear the sound of things being smashed coming from Jiang Youxi's room.

But Jiang Wenqing was determined to make him quit drinking that black stuff, and he issued a death order that anyone who dared to give it to him privately would be beaten to death. Chunxiang, who was driven out of the house, has disappeared since then. Even Jiang Wenqing, who sent people to look for her and kill her, had no way to do it.

Jiang Wenqing woke up from another nightmare. In the dream, Lin Yirou was still as young and beautiful as before, and would shyly call him "Brother Qing" with a blushing face.

I still remember that spring outing when we first met in a peach forest where peach blossoms were in full bloom. She stood out among the other girls in Yuxiang Tower, with a calm temperament, clear features, and a fresh and refined look. One could tell at first glance that she was a lady from a noble family, like a fairy in the peach forest, and she was unforgettable for a long time.

They fell in love at first sight and decided to spend their lives together. She used all her savings to support his studies. He held her hand and promised: "Rou'er, when I become successful, you will be my, Jiang Wenqing's, only wife."

In the dream, he held her hand and said the words he had promised her that year, but she did not respond to him with a shy smile as before, "Okay, I'll wait for you", but just stared at him in a daze.

Just as he was wondering, the person in front of him suddenly turned into Lin Mowan, whose eyes were cold and cruel. He was so scared that he let go of his hand.

Lin Mowan had a blank expression on her face as she said coldly, "You are lying." Then she rushed over and stabbed his heart with the dagger in her hand.

The heart-wrenching pain seemed to have really existed. Jiang Wenqing woke up from his dream with a scream, scaring Gong Shutingyue who was standing beside him. Seeing Jiang Wenqing sitting up, she quickly sat up and patted his chest to calm him down, "Master, what's wrong?"

Jiang Wenqing was breathing heavily, as if he had not yet recovered from the shock and pain that was so vivid in his dream. After a long while, he touched his intact chest in panic with trembling hands before he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned around and looked at the person next to him. It was Gongshu Tingyue. He felt relieved. Beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks. His face was frighteningly pale. He couldn't tell what he felt. Guilt or self-blame, he didn't know. But the only thing he was sure of was fear. Gongshu Tingyue looked puzzled and wiped the sweat off his forehead with distressed eyes: "What's wrong? What dream scared you so much?"

Jiang Wenqing was silent. He didn't dare to say anything. He just swallowed and tried to calm his chest which was rising and falling violently. He looked a little dazed and just kept muttering, "Get her out. I must get her out."

Seeing him talking in such a weird way, Gongshu Tingyue became more and more confused: "What's going on? Who do you want to kick out?"

Jiang Wenqing aimed accurately, his eyes were particularly serious. He turned around and held Gong Shu Tingyue's hand, whispering: "Lin Mowan, we can't keep her in the mansion any longer, we must drive her out."

Hearing this, a hint of surprise and joy flashed in Gongshu Tingyue's eyes. In the past, whenever she took the initiative to bring up this matter, he always avoided the topic with various reasons.

Gongshu Tingyue really disliked Lin Mowan. It seemed that the whole Jiang family had never had peace since she came. But Jiang Wenqing had no intention of driving her out. In addition, the old lady was also very satisfied with Lin Mowan. Even her eldest son was on her side. She was isolated and helpless, and could only swallow her anger for a while.

Now, seeing Jiang Wenqing say this, she shook off her sleepiness and quickly got out of bed to pour a glass of water for Jiang Wenqing: "Master, don't be anxious, tell me slowly, what's going on?"

Jiang Wenqing finally controlled his trembling hands after drinking a cup of hot water. After thinking it over again and again, he finally came up with a suitable excuse: "I think Youxi's matter must be related to her. If she continues to stay in the mansion, she will probably harm others. It's a pity that Youxi was blinded by her."

Gongshu Tingyue frowned and thought, but didn't comment. In fact, no matter what the reason was, as long as Lin Mowan could be driven out, it would be good. After a little hesitation, she raised her hand and gently stroked his back, comforting him: "Since the master thinks so, I can't say anything, but this matter still needs to be considered in the long run. After all, we still can't make the old lady sad."

The two looked at each other, and everything was self-explanatory. They couldn't just kick her out for no reason. They had to find a suitable reason that would make the old lady dislike her. As long as they were right, they wouldn't be criticized...

In the following few days, because of Jiang Youxi's matter, even though it was almost time, there was no sign of joy in the Jiang family. Everyone had a worried look on their face. Even the red silk and red lanterns that were hung up one after another seemed out of place in this lifeless home.

The Jiang family had been peaceful for a few days. Jiang Youxi was being watched closely and Lin Mowan had no chance to get close to him. She could only hear some news when she went to pay her respects to the old lady every day.

I heard that he was in a very bad condition. Once the black pimples are infected, how can you get rid of them just by wanting to? He has been like this for several days and no one has seen him.

The old lady's face was filled with sorrow. She was anxious when she saw the vicissitudes of life. She held Lin Mowan's hand and blamed herself very much: "It's all my fault. If I had bitten my tongue and asked someone to keep a close eye on him, he wouldn't be like this today. Wan'er, you have a good relationship with him, you must help him get through this."

Lin Mowan looked calm, and she forced out a trace of worry to comfort the old lady: "Old lady, don't worry, the eldest young master is a lucky person, nothing will happen to him. When he gets better, he can do whatever he wants."

The old lady looked at her, with some guilt and some happiness in her eyes, and then patted Lin Mowan's hand: "You are a good child, Youxi will treat you well in the future."

Lin Mowan smiled without saying anything. It didn't matter whether he would treat her well or not. What mattered was that he would have no future.

Coming out of Hongbao Courtyard, Lin Mowan ran into Jiang Wenqing who came to visit the old lady. When he saw Lin Mowan, he paused obviously.
