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

Chapter 41 Don't be stupid next time

The people around gasped again, holding their breath in fear, and were glad that they did not rashly stand up to speak for Hanyan.

But normally speaking, Lin Mowan's hand strength is not that strong. Although she is not as weak as she appears to be, she still has the strength of a normal woman.

As for why she was able to spit out a tooth, it was probably because of the two slaps from Yuzhi earlier. Yuzhi was different from her. Before coming to serve Lin Mowan, Yuzhi was one of the most capable secret guards around Shen Weiyuan. In addition to her martial arts skills, she was also very strong in terms of strength.

I often heard her say before that in the Marquis' Mansion, when they had free time, they could arm wrestle with each other, and even Wei Lin was no match for her. It was obvious that she was exerting too much force when she slapped him twice, otherwise it would be no problem for her to knock him out.

Hanyan was still in a daze, and the little girl who was bumped into had already picked up her things and walked away quickly at Yuzhi's signal.

Lin Mowan stepped forward, still with no expression on her face. She just bent down slightly and grabbed her hair with one hand. She whimpered twice, and then her head was forced up. She looked up at Lin Mowan with a red and swollen face and a mouth full of blood.

Looking down at her face that was almost swollen like a pig's head, Lin Mowan frowned and sighed softly, expressing a little regret: "Why do you do this? If you didn't provoke me, we would have lived in peace. Who knows, you could even be my concubine someday. But you insist on being ungrateful, which makes it very difficult for me to deal with it."

Her tone was so grim that Hanyan lost all her sharpness. Her eyes suddenly turned red, but she dared only struggle slightly. Her swollen cheeks made it difficult for her to speak. After a long while, she finally uttered a few clear words: "I'm sorry, Miss Lin."

Lin Mowan looked at her, her eyes still cold, and finally let go of the hand that was holding her hair. She fell heavily to the ground, crying bitterly.

Seeing this, Lin Mowan took out a banknote from her bosom and held it above her head. When she let go, the banknote fell gently. She said, "Go buy some medicine to wipe your face. Don't be stupid again next time."

Lin Mowan firmly believed that, given Hanyan's current arrogance, her goal was definitely not just to be Jiang Wenqing's concubine or an untitled bed-warmer. What she wanted was Gongshu Tingyue's position.

Even if she didn't have that idea, Lin Mowan was not worried at all that she would stand on the same front with Gongshu Tingyue. Gongshu Tingyue was a person who could not tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes. If she knew the relationship between Hanyan and Jiang Wenqing, Hanyan would definitely die.

Having been in the Jiang family for so many years, Hanyan is no newcomer and is well aware of Gongshu Tingyue's ruthless methods. For the sake of her own safety, she will definitely not let Gongshu Tingyue know.

Hanyan didn't say anything, but silently held the silver bill that fell on the ground with trembling hands and nodded with difficulty.

Seeing this, Lin Mowan lowered her eyes, her expression the same as before. She turned around and was about to leave with Yuzhi. When she raised her eyes, she ran into Jiang Wenqing who happened to pass by.

Hanyan crawled towards Jiang Wenqing as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw. Lin Mowan had no intention of stopping her, but just moved her indifferent gaze slowly along the path that led to Hanyan's death.

"Master, Master, look at my face..." Hanyan grabbed Jiang Wenqing's clothes tightly: "Master, you have to make the decision for me."

Jiang Wenqing looked at her swollen cheeks, and his already ugly face became even gloomier. He moved his body, pulled his clothes out of her hands, and looked up at Lin Mowan. Lin Mowan also looked at him with an innocent look, as if she had no idea what was going on at all.

If it was a few months ago, Jiang Wenqing would definitely be confused and think that Lin Mowan might really be innocent, but now, he just felt a chill down his spine. He didn't want to ask anything anymore, nor did he want to pester her anymore. He just wanted her to move out as soon as possible.

He turned his eyes away, sighed heavily, and ordered the trembling girl beside him: "What are you standing there for? Take her downstairs to see her wounds."

At this time, the girls nearby found a reason to leave, and hurriedly helped Hanyan, who was lying on the ground with a shocked expression, and left in a hurry.

Catching the flash of fear in his eyes, Lin Mowan's expressionless face finally showed a smile, which reached the bottom of her eyes. She said, "Don't worry, father. I have packed my things and I will move out tonight."

Hearing this, Jiang Wenqing nodded as if he was relieved. He hesitated for several times, but in the end he said nothing and took the initiative to bypass Lin Mowan and walked away. Lin Mowan was not in a hurry at all. Compared with dealing with the Jiang family, she now had someone she wanted to deal with more. Now was the best time. When he had established a firm foothold in Sheng'an in the future, it would be very troublesome.

As for the Jiang family, no matter when, as long as she is still the adopted daughter of the Jiang family, if she wants to come back, it will be a matter of Shen Weiyuan's words. Moving out now does not mean that the relationship is really severed.

The news that Lin Mowan returned to Zither Garden quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys, and people were speculating. Some said that the Jiang family drove Lin Mowan out because they blamed her for killing Jiang Youxi.

Some people also think that this is really nonsense, and suspect that the real purpose of the Jiang family finding an adopted daughter is to find an innocent and easy-to-deceive woman for their son who lives a life of debauchery. Now that the person is dead, they have kicked the poor girl out...

In short, there are all kinds of rumors, but Shen Weiyuan didn't make any response. It was as if he didn't know about it at all. I guess he really didn't care about it, after all, he was so busy.

Since moving out of the Jiang family, Lin Mowan had a quiet time for a while, until one snowy night when she saw Shen Weiyuan coming to Zither Garden again, seven days had passed.

He got off the carriage in the snowy wind. Lin Mowan got the news and went to meet him at the door with Yuzhi. He walked straight towards her, took her hand skillfully, wrapped her hand in his big palm, and walked through the corridor of the courtyard back to the room.

After entering the house, Shen Weiyuan sat on the ground on the precious fur blanket. He stretched out his long arms and pulled Lin Mowan into his arms. He supported his chin with one hand and admired Lin Mowan who was pouring him warm wine.

After staring at her for a while, his eyes suddenly became complicated, as if he had been thinking for a long time. Shen Weiyuan lowered his head and gently kissed her temples, then moved to her ears and said, "Guo Yinli has started investigating you, be careful."

His voice was very soft. Even though there was no one else here, he still spoke at a volume that only the two of them could hear.

This result was actually within Lin Mowan's expectations, but hearing it from Shen Weiyuan's mouth was indeed a bit unbelievable. Before this, she had thought that he didn't care about her at all.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mowan subconsciously looked up at the man beside her, trying to interpret other information from his eyes besides this sentence.

But there was nothing she could do. The man's eyes were too deep, and she got nothing. She could only lower her eyes calmly, put the cup in front of him, and then nodded obediently.

After thinking for a while, she looked up at him and asked, "How did Second Master know? Is it because of Young Master Jiang's matter?"

Shen Weiyuan didn't say much, just remained silent for a moment, simply nodded, and answered her second question.

Since he didn't say anything, she naturally didn't ask a second time. She just lowered her eyes silently and thought about the pros and cons.

Seeing her frowning and worried look, Shen Weiyuan felt a little uncomfortable. He lowered his head and kissed her fair cheek, coaxing her softly: "Don't be afraid, he can't find anything."

Lin Mowan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked up at him again. She had never told anyone what she had done since she entered the Jiang family, including Jiang Youxi's death. Even Yuzhi didn't know that it was related to her.

Logically speaking, Shen Weiyuan shouldn't know, but the meaning of his words just now seemed to make him know everything. While thinking about it, Lin Mowan suddenly felt a sense of fear in her heart.

She opened her mouth and was about to ask something, but her lips were sealed by the man's domineering hands...
