Chapter 43 Deadly Kite
"why?"

Jiang Wenqing asked back, his eyes full of sorrow and grief, and his answer was irrelevant.

Lin Mowan didn't react much, she just looked at him in confusion, with an innocent look on her face.

Jiang Wenqing was angry and helpless: "You know, You'an fell into the water and has been unconscious ever since. He was so young! How could you have the heart to do that to him!"

Lin Mowan smiled, not seeming surprised by this, and just said: "Why are you blaming me again? Did I push him into the water?"

Jiang Wenqing gritted his teeth and stared at her, but Lin Mowan just curled her lips and leaned back, as if she completely ignored the sharp blade in front of her and drank her tea leisurely.

She said, "I gave him the kite. I won't deny that. But if Lord Jiang is convinced that I was the one who caused him to fall into the water based on this alone, then you can report it to the authorities. I have absolutely no complaints."

She looked at him with a determined smile in her eyes, without any panic at all. If it were in the past, Jiang Wenqing would have doubted whether she had done it, but now, the calmer she was, the more it showed that there was a problem.

Of course, Lin Mowan did rely on the kite to make him fall into the water. This sounds too unbelievable. Even if he really reported this reason to the police, no one would believe it.

The kite alone is definitely not enough, and Lin Mowan's various methods of provocation are indispensable. She knows that he dislikes her as much as Jiang Ruixue, and will definitely find ways to contradict what she says or does.

She spent several days making kites in the garden before she finally caught him. Children are curious about everything, especially new and interesting things they have never seen before, so they would come up to look at them, with desire flashing in their eyes.

Lin Mowan pretended to be a treasure and moved the kite closer to herself, pretending to be wary of him, but he was not interested and after several attempts he was unable to get close to him.

Sure enough, how could the young master who had never wanted anything since he was a child tolerate being treated like this? Even though he didn't really want it, seeing how stingy she was, Jiang Youan insisted on getting the kite in her hand.

After a long while of not giving in to him, he started to cry and even threw a tantrum. No matter how the maid next to him tried to comfort him, it was useless. At this time, Lin Mowan added fuel to the fire and said the words she had prepared long ago: "This is my kite. I can't give it to you. If you want, go buy it yourself."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Youan became even more unwilling to do it. He threw a tantrum and insisted on doing it no matter what. The maids had no choice but to look to Lin Mowan for help.

Lin Mowan pretended to be embarrassed. After some hesitation, she reluctantly handed the kite in her hand over. As soon as Lin Mowan stretched out her hand, Jiang Youan snatched it away and ran away, laughing very happily.

He quickly ran out of the pavilion, shook the kite in his hand, made faces at Lin Mowan, and shouted loudly: "Fool! Big fool! Coward!"

After saying that, he jumped away happily.

A group of maids who took care of him chased him away. When Lin Mowan saw him walking away, the reluctance in her eyes gradually disappeared, and she curled the corners of her mouth slightly.

The reason why she chose the kite as a means of luring him was because she had observed that the only place in the Jiang Mansion suitable for flying a kite was a long-abandoned wooden bridge.

The wooden bridge had fallen into disrepair and had been abandoned for a long time, but it was exceptionally spacious and had a great view. Most importantly, Lin Mowan later told him with words that the scenery from that bridge was great.

Children are playful by nature and have strong curiosity, so of course they cannot resist temptation. The most important thing is that he and Jiang Youxi have one thing in common: they are always addicted to flattery.

He might be lucky enough not to fall once or twice, but this would only deepen his interest in that place, especially after he snatched the kite from Lin Mowan.

As for the reason why the bridge was abandoned, it was said that a girl died of a sudden illness on the bridge.

Later, Jiang Wenqing invited a Feng Shui master to take a look. He said that the bridge had a strong negative energy, but it could not be demolished or used, so it was just abandoned. Although no one usually went there, Jiang Youan, the beloved little devil, would go to places that were forbidden to go.

This hidden danger is only a matter of time.

But the interesting thing is that the kite was indeed given by Lin Mowan, and it was Lin Mowan who persuaded him to go after several words. She even checked the bridge and did some unnoticeable tricks on it.

Now that he had fallen, there was no one to testify. It was certainly impossible to convict Lin Mowan with just a kite.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Wenqing suddenly felt a strong sense of frustration and helplessness in his heart. Finally, under Lin Mowan's deep eyes, he gradually lost his strength, the hand holding the sword gently dropped, he staggered a few steps and fell into a chair beside him.

"Are you satisfied now?" He sneered sadly, "You've caused chaos in my Jiang family, and left people and animals in turmoil. You've caused one death and one injury to my only two sons. Why did you do this? If you want revenge, why don't you come after me? Why do you want to harm my family! Come after me! What on earth do you want?"

As he spoke, his eyes were filled with fatigue, grief and anguish, and every word he spoke was full of tears. Even his tone of voice could not help but tremble. He wanted so much to open Lin Mowan's chest to see if her heart was really that cruel.

Seeing him like this, Lin Mowan suddenly felt a little emotional. He was still asking her what she wanted at this time. She chuckled: "You still don't understand anything."

Hearing this, Jiang Wenqing was stunned, his eyes full of bloodshot and tears changed from the previous anger to the current shock and confusion. However, Lin Mowan did not explain anything, but just sighed softly and said, "Thank you for bothering Lord Jiang to come and tell me this news, but I can't help. It's better to listen to what the doctor says. In addition..."

As she spoke, she slowly stood up, paused, and looked grim: "Of course, if you want to sue me, I have no objection. As long as there is sufficient evidence, I will accept any verdict."

Staring at her eyes that seemed to have never known what fear was, Jiang Wenqing's mind was suddenly filled with a deeper sense of powerlessness than ever before.

Ever since he rose to the position of prime minister, he has always used his power to suppress others, intimidation and inducement, and he has been like a fish in water, forcing others to submit to him.

Now he once again experienced the feeling of being oppressed, and his heart was humiliated and uncomfortable. The impulse and passion that he had just drawn his sword to kill in anger were immediately frozen by Lin Mowan's cold eyes.

He knew that her confidence did not come from herself. Given the way she sounded and the current situation, he could not speak to her so toughly. Her confidence came from Yuxianglou, or rather, Shen Weiyuan.

He opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be stuck, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time. Lin Mowan was merciless: "You don't want to drink the tea, and you've already said what you want to say. Is there anything else? If not, I'm a little sleepy and want to rest."

She is ordering you to leave.

At this time, Jiang Wenqing, who had completely calmed down, no longer had the momentum to draw his sword. The previous scene was like schizophrenia.

He stood up and prepared to leave, but stopped when the door opened. The biting cold wind rushed in, blowing away any trace of tiredness that had been brought about by the heating in the house.

He did not leave immediately, but turned back, facing the cold wind blowing in from outside, with a sad look in his eyes, and asked her: "You did all this to Youxi and Youan, do you really hate them that much?"

He was not hysterical when he said this, but looked very calm and heartbroken, staring at Lin Mowan who was leaning against the table.

Lin Mowan raised her eyes and just met him. Even though she was now ruthless and cruel, with a gentle knife that was deadly, and she no longer had any expectations of this man, but at this moment, her instinct of lack of love made her want to cry when facing the man she originally called father.

She was not a jealous person, and if Jiang Wenqing was honest enough, she could accept having other brothers and sisters. Unfortunately, from the very beginning, he never valued her and her mother.
