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

Chapter 38: A window that shows where Young Master Jiang got into trouble

Gongshu Tingyue was crying and his voice, which was hoarse from extreme sadness, sounded a little scary at the moment. Lin Mowan shrank her neck, but did not dare to say a word as if she was afraid.

Seeing this, Guo Yinli frowned obviously. He has always disliked the use of power to oppress others, and he can't stand others bullying the weak and innocent. However, Sheng'an is different from other places. Being an official under the emperor is the most difficult thing to do.

He sighed softly, turned around and looked at Gongshu Tingyue who was sitting beside him, and nodded slightly: "Madam, please rest assured. I feel deeply sorry for your son's misfortune, and I will do my best to solve this case."

Upon hearing this, Gongshu Tingyue staggered to her feet. The pain of losing her son was enough to tear her heart apart, and she almost couldn't stand. She looked at Guo Yinli with bloodshot eyes: "Catch her, I told you she is the murderer, why don't you catch her!!"

She roared and screamed, and rushed forward to grab Guo Yinli's collar, but Guo Yinli was not Lin Mowan. He frowned and stepped back. The yamen runners behind him stepped forward to stop her and tried to persuade her to calm down.

But at this moment, Gongshu Tingyue was no longer calm. She stared at Lin Mowan behind Guo Yinli with resentful eyes. Then she broke free from the several yamen runners who were trying to stop her, and looked back at Guo Yinli viciously.

She panted heavily, her eyes wide open, "Guo Yinli, you should know who I am. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer to this matter, I will destroy your Wusha! Your head will fall off!"

After all, Guo Yinli had been an official for more than ten years. He was a very smart man. Of course, he understood what Gongshu Tingyue meant. In fact, the truth was not important, and the murderer was not important either. She only identified the murderer she identified.

Seeing her crazy look, Guo Yinli felt a little embarrassed, and dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. He didn't say anything, but turned to look at Jiang Wenqing who had not spoken for a long time.

Jiang Wenqing was still sober and still retained a trace of rationality. He waved his hand tiredly, signaling Nanny Cen to take the person away. Nanny Cen took the order and hurried forward to help the person, but Gongshu Tingyue shook off her hand and turned away angrily.

The coroner was still performing the autopsy. Jiang Wenqing was filled with worry, and the sharpness he had when he slapped Lin Mowan was no longer visible between his brows. He took a few breaths and said in a hoarse voice, "Check it out. Check it out."

As he spoke, it was obvious that behind the overwhelming sadness in his expression was a deep sense of powerlessness and loneliness that could not be concealed, as if a huge, invisible hand had been strangling his throat and he was unable to breathe.

Seeing that the situation was under effective control, Guo Yinli said again: "Sir Jiang, may I ask Miss Lin a few words alone?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenqing's gaze, which was obviously a little dull, fell on Lin Mowan after a long while. A trace of barely perceptible hatred flashed in his eyes, but after a brief glance, he nodded.

Guo Yinli nodded and accepted the order. Jiang Wenqing then asked Xue Zhong to take him and Lin Mowan to the side room on the other side.

After entering the house, the door was slowly closed. Guo Yinli did not ask any questions immediately, but walked slowly to the huge floor-to-ceiling window in the house.

The design of this side room is somewhat different from the other rooms. From the outside it looks no different from an ordinary room, but when you go inside, you'll find that the wall opposite the door is broken through, revealing an independent small garden outside.

I heard from people in the mansion before that this place was not originally for guests to rest. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and was originally meant for the Jiang family children to play.

Lin Mowan stood at the entrance, watching him quietly walk to the steps and looking at the semi-open-air garden. It was winter now, and there was nothing in the garden except some dead branches, soil, and snow that fell last night and had not completely melted yet. It seemed that he had no intention of asking her any questions.

Of course, she was not in a hurry. She turned around and walked to the table and began to pour tea attentively. Guo Yinli heard the noise and looked back, just in time to see Lin Mowan pouring two cups of hot tea.

"It's freezing cold, please come here in person." Lin Mowan took the initiative to say: "Come and have a cup of tea, warm yourself up and then ask questions."

Guo Yinli looked at her, his expression did not change much, he just hesitated for a moment, and walked over, sat opposite her, lowered his eyes to look at the steaming tea in the cup. He slowly said: "Young Master Jiang died, Miss Lin does not seem to be sad at all."

His words were too obviously probing. Lin Mowan's expression froze for a moment, and a hint of loss flashed across her face at just the right moment. Although it was fleeting, it was guaranteed to be caught by him.

She smiled bitterly, lowered her eyes, and didn't explain much. She just shook her head helplessly and said, "Really? Lord Guo suspected that I killed the young master?"

Facing Lin Mowan's straightforward question, Guo Yinli was speechless. He smiled without commenting and explained, "I just heard that Miss Lin and Young Master Jiang have a good relationship."

Lin Mowan did not deny it. After a little thought, she replied, "It was indeed very good before Chunxiang came."

"Chunxiang?"

Seeing Guo Yinli's puzzled look, Lin Mowan said, "She was a maid assigned to me by the old lady not long ago. She was new to the mansion. The eldest young master liked her, so I sent her to his courtyard. Since then, we haven't had any contact for a long time."

Guo Yinli listened, thinking, silently memorized the name Chunxiang, and then said: "Miss Lin went out last night."

"I'm definitely not in the mansion." Lin Mowan did not hide it. She said, "I went to Yuxiang Tower. Aunt Hong in Yuxiang Tower is an old friend of my deceased mother. Before I came to Jiang Mansion, I was grateful for her care. Now I go to her place when I'm free."

Guo Yinli nodded. This was consistent with the information he received early this morning. However, when he thought about looking down from the window of that room, that was exactly where Jiang Youxi was found.

Thinking of this, the doubts that he had just suppressed in his heart became even stronger. Even though there were no loopholes in Lin Mowan's answer, he still couldn't really trust her completely in his heart.

After a little hesitation, he still asked the doubts in his heart: "I went to the room where the girl stayed last night. Coincidentally, I found that the window can see the place where Young Master Jiang had an accident."

He looked at her with calm yet oppressive eyes, as if waiting for Lin Mowan's explanation. However, Lin Mowan's expression did not show the panic he imagined, but was as calm as usual.

She was silent for a few seconds, as if she had just understood what he meant, and said hesitantly, "Oh, really? But I talked a lot with Aunt Hong last night, drank some wine and fell asleep early, and I was woken up by Yuzhi this morning."

As she spoke, her tone paused slightly, and the gentle smile on her face gradually solidified and disappeared as if she had thought of something. Then she continued to ask him, "So, Master Guo means that I was in a place where I could clearly see the crime scene, but I fell asleep and did not see the crime happen. I cannot provide you with any useful clues, so I will still be convicted. Is that what you mean?"

Her tone was very calm, like a feather falling on the lake, causing ripples and then quickly returning to peace. She was right. This indeed could not be used as evidence to prove that Lin Mowan was involved in this matter.

Guo Yinli was obviously speechless after hearing what she said. After a long time, he reacted and smiled with a hint of self-mockery. He didn't expect that he, Guo Yinli, had been an official for ten years. Although he could not be compared with the elders in the court, he had handled quite a few cases. Yet, there was a day when he was outmaneuvered by someone.

Facing Lin Mowan's puzzled question, he breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head, and said, "No, I just suddenly remembered and asked casually." After saying that, he didn't ask any more questions, and stood up and said, "Thank you Miss Lin for your cooperation. In this case, I have other things to do, so I won't bother you any more."

He nodded slightly and prepared to leave. The moment he turned around, the smile on his face disappeared. Obviously, he still doubted Lin Mowan. She was too calm, so calm that it didn't seem like a normal person's reaction to such a thing.
