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

Chapter 46 You Don’t Love Yourself Enough

Guo Yinli's voice just startled the dazed man with the knife. He reacted and wanted to take back the dagger in his hand, but Lin Mowan reacted before him and kicked him in the lower body.

The next moment, his hand gripping the hilt loosened and he fell to the ground in pain.

Guo Yinli almost trotted over. It was obvious that his legs were a little weak. When he came to the woman, he carefully supported her and said, "Madam, Madam, are you okay?"

It can be seen that he was really panicked, and he had completely lost the calmness he had when he questioned Lin Mowan at the Jiang family.

The woman was still in shock and cried for a long time in his arms. Guo Yinli's men quickly subdued the three gangsters.

When Lin Mowan threw away the dagger in her hand and prepared to leave, a woman's voice came from behind her: "Miss, Miss, please stay."

Lin Mowan stopped and looked back at the disheveled man who had been helped up. She wiped away her tears and said, "Thank you, thank you. Your hand is bleeding."

Hearing this, Lin Mowan looked at her, then lowered her eyes slightly, and glanced at her palm that was still dripping with blood with an indifferent expression. She seemed not to feel any pain, and just said in a cold voice: "It's okay, you're welcome."

As she spoke, she glanced at Guo Yinli, who was holding the person in his arms. When their eyes met, she saw shock in his eyes, perhaps he could not believe that Lin Mowan knew martial arts.

Lin Mowan didn't give him any extra chance to react. She turned around, picked up the sign on the ground and left.

Returning to the dining room where they had rested, Luo Qiaoniang had just coaxed little Zhou Ying to sleep after eating. She heard someone coming in, and turned around, but her eyes were attracted by Lin Mowan's hands covered in blood.

Luo Qiaoniang was so scared that she covered her mouth and almost screamed. She turned around to look at the sleeping little Zhou Ying and decided not to wake her up.

She stood up, walked to Lin Mowan, and carefully held her hand. Her delicate facial features were almost twisted into a ball, as if she was the one who was injured.

"What happened?" Luo Qiao Niang said, and then turned to look at the maid who was looking after little Zhou Ying: "Go and find the master in the temple to get the medicine box."

Lin Mowan refused: "No, it's not serious."

"No need for what?!" Luo Qiao Niang was furious and immediately scolded Lin Mowan: "You don't take care of yourself at all. You lost so much blood and you still say it's okay!"

Luo Qiao Niang took Lin Mowan's hand and walked to the table and sat down. Lin Mowan looked at Luo Qiao Niang, who was worried and blew air gently into her palm. The reluctance in her heart became stronger, as if the surging sea was going to drown her.

Not long after, the maid finally brought the medicine box back from outside. Luo Qiao Niang helped her treat the wound while frowning and admonishing her, "Don't get wet these days. Be careful of the wound getting infected. I see that you are not in good health. Don't let this little wound cause any trouble."

Although they just met yesterday, Lin Mowan had the illusion that they had known each other for a long time because of her attitude. She looked at Luo Qiaoniang and suddenly said, "Sister, if one day I do something that makes you angry, can you forgive me once?"

Hearing this, Luo Qiaoniang, who was helping her treat her wounds, was stunned. She looked up at her in confusion, as if she didn't understand why she suddenly said such a thing.

Luo Qiaoniang claimed that she was not a sensitive person and was always kind to anyone who needed help, but Lin Mowan's words always made her feel very strange.

But seeing her harmless appearance, Luo Qiao Niang really didn't want to think badly of her. When she heard Lin Mowan's nonsensical words, Luo Qiao Niang could only look at her in confusion and forgot to react for a moment.

After a long while, Lin Mowan smiled, took back her bandaged hand, lowered her eyes, avoided her sight, and said, "It's okay, I was just talking casually."

Luo Qiao Niang didn't ask any questions after hearing this, but just looked at her helplessly. She felt something was strange in her heart, but she couldn't tell what was wrong...

When the two were preparing to go back together, they had already had a vegetarian meal in the temple. It was not too late, but it still took quite a while to get back to the city from the temple.

Lin Mowan and Luo Qiaoniang were walking in front. Before they stepped out of the temple, a male voice came from behind: "Miss Lin, please stay."

The two of them stopped at the same time, looked back, and saw that the person chasing them was Guo Yinli.

Luo Qiaoniang recognized him and nodded quickly, "Master Guo." Guo Yinli also nodded slightly in return, "Mrs. Zhou."

After saying that, he turned around and set his eyes on Lin Mowan again: "Miss Lin, can I have a word with you for a moment?"

Lin Mowan didn't say anything, her dead eyes fixed on him. Luo Qiaoniang was puzzled: "Did something happen?"

From her words, it was not difficult to tell that she was really worried.

Seeing this, Guo Yinli quickly explained: "No, my wife was attacked by gangsters in the backyard today. Thanks to Lin Mowan's intervention, my wife and the baby in her belly were saved. It's just that Miss Lin left in a hurry, so my wife specially asked me to come and invite Miss to have a chat."

As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Qiaoniang's doubts were immediately dispelled. Guo Yinli was well-known in Sheng'an for his incorruptibility and was deeply loved by the people. Luo Qiaoniang certainly had no doubts about this statement.

She thought of the wound on Lin Mowan's hand, and immediately understood something. She turned to look at Lin Mowan: "Go, I'll wait for you here."

Before Lin Mowan could say anything, Guo Yinli said, "I think Madam Zhou should go back first. My wife is a chatterbox, and Miss Lin can't spare the time. I'll ask someone to send Miss Lin back later."

"That's it..."

Luo Qiao Niang murmured, looking a little lost, and turned to look at Lin Mowan. Although Lin Mowan was not sure what Guo Yinli wanted to talk to her about before, when he asked Luo Qiao Niang to go back first, she understood that it was definitely not as simple as just reminiscing about the past.

She smiled and said, "It's okay, sister, go back first."

There was no way out. Things had come to this point, so Luo Qiaoniang had to nod and leave with little Zhou Ying.

Temple backyard.

Lin Mowan followed Guo Yinli all the way to the most remote room. It was as quiet as usual here, isolated from the noise of the front yard.

As soon as she entered the house, Lin Mowan looked around the room, but did not find the third person. Although it was expected, Lin Mowan still pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Master Guo, didn't you say that your wife was looking for me? Where is she?"

Guo Yinli looked at her, walked to the table and sat down, saying, "I asked someone to send her back. It's just you and me here."

Lin Mowan stood there and looked at her with a calm expression. Guo Yinli paused for a moment and continued, "Miss Lin doesn't seem surprised at all?"

Lin Mowan shook her head, walked leisurely to the window, leaned lightly on the windowsill, and said, "What do you want to ask? About Jiang Youxi or Jiang Youan?"

"Does this have anything to do with you?" Guo Yinli asked her back.

She withdrew her gaze from looking outside and looked at him again. He was sitting there with his back straight, upright and meticulous, his sharp eyes seemed to see through all the evil in the world.

Under his gaze, Lin Mowan calmly shook her head, but he said to himself: "I know, of course you won't admit it."

Lin Mowan lowered her eyes and said nothing.

He didn't seem to care at all, but paused for a moment and continued, "In fact, from the beginning to the end, I didn't understand. Jiang Youxi had already reached the point where he couldn't think independently. How did he want to get out, and how did he know where the black pimple was."

"Unless someone told him to go there, lured him there, and told the people there in advance that only he would get hurt."

"There's no need to kill him. It's a cold winter with a heavy snowstorm. No one will go out. Even if we investigate the shop, we won't be able to find any definite murderer. At most, he is just provoking trouble."

"Jiang Youxi's death can only be considered an accident."
