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

Chapter 50 I Killed Jiang Youxi

Their eyes met, and it was obvious that these words had an effect. Although Jiang Yanran was still shaking uncontrollably, she finally learned to calm herself down, closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was obviously much calmer.

Lin Mowan released the hand that was grabbing her collar. Jiang Yanran staggered a few steps, barely calmed herself down, suppressed the fear in her heart, and turned to look at Tong Yuhua, who was lying on the bed with a deathly pale face.

"I..." She swallowed and looked up at Lin Mowan: "What do you want me to do?"

Lin Mowan looked at her, then glanced at the person on the bed, her eyes wandering to Tong Yuhua's wound which had been simply bandaged to stop the bleeding, and said coldly: "Use your hand to hold her wound, don't let the blood dry up, otherwise, even if you invite Hua Tuo to come, it will be powerless to save her."

Jiang Yanran nodded, walked tremblingly to the bed and sat down, pressing her hand on the wound, but her tears still fell.

Soon, Yuzhi invited a doctor to treat Tong Yuhua's injuries. After the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, he finally saved his life.

Jiang Yanran sat by the bed, never leaving, her nervous eyes fixed on Tong Yuhua's face, and she kept asking the doctor when she would wake up.

But the doctor couldn't be absolutely sure, he could only tell the approximate time and gave a few instructions. Seeing that Jiang Yanran looked distracted, he had to turn around and give another instruction to Lin Mowan, who looked calm beside him, before leaving.

Jiang Wenqing didn't arrive until Tong Yuhua woke up, and Gongshu Tingyue came with him. Jiang Wenqing walked into the house angrily, and the first thing he saw was Lin Mowan sitting beside him drinking tea. His face froze, and the insults he had just prepared to insult Tong Yuhua were instantly stuck in his throat.

"Why are you here?"

He did not ask about Tong Yuhua's situation first, but looked at Lin Mowan beside him with a cold look, with some vigilance in his eyes.

Lin Mowan didn't care. She just put down the teacup in her hand and continued to smile gently, as if nothing happened a few days ago. She said, "I came back to see Second Mother."

Jiang Wenqing didn't say anything, but just silently clenched his back teeth. After a moment of hesitation, he finally turned his head to look at Tong Yuhua, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, and Jiang Yanran, who was sitting beside her with red eyes crying.

After a little hesitation, he seemed to want to say something but stopped himself. It was obvious that he still wanted to say something blaming him, but Lin Mowan's sudden intervention made his mind go blank for a moment.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally vented his anger on Jiang Yanran. He glanced at her with angry eyes and shouted, "Come out!"

Jiang Yanran, who had just recovered from her shock, trembled all over and turned her head to look at Jiang Wenqing. She met his murderous gaze and seemed to be sure that he was talking to her.

She did not have the courage to resist, so she could only stand up timidly and walk out with Jiang Wenqing with her head down. Gongshu Tingyue was still in the inner room, but although he was hostile and puzzled towards Lin Mowan who came uninvited, he still maintained superficial harmony. He just looked at her with a resentful look and walked over to the bed.

Lin Mowan remained sitting there, fiddling with the teacup in her hand, with her eyes downcast, as if she was oblivious to what was happening outside, but she actually heard everything that was said.

Gongshu Tingyue didn't stay in the inner room for long. He just said some superficial words of comfort, and then got up and left, using the excuse of asking Tong Yuhua to recuperate. Tong Yuhua just sat on the bed in a daze, leaning against the soft pillow, staring at the ground with a dull look, without saying a word.

In the hall, Jiang Wenqing was still scolding Jiang Yanran, asking why she had secretly called Lin Mowan over and why she had to leave. According to Jiang Wenqing, if she had not left, Tong Yuhua would not have had the opportunity to cut her wrists and would not have made such a fuss.

Every word and sentence was criticizing the mother and daughter, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with himself at all. Lin Mowan couldn't help but find it funny. When she raised her eyes, a hint of clarity flashed in her eyes, as if she had thought of something good.

She glanced through the curtain that separated the hall from the inner room at the two figures, one large and one small, outside. After a moment's hesitation, she stood up and walked to the bed and sat down. Tong Yuhua still didn't react.

Lin Mowan thought for a moment, raised her hand to pick up the orange beside her and began to peel it slowly, then slowly said: "If you want to die, of course there is no problem, living is indeed more painful than death." As she spoke, her tone paused. Tong Yuhua seemed to doubt her ears a little, and looked up at the person sitting in front of her in disbelief, but Lin Mowan just smiled at her gently.

Then, Lin Mowan glanced at the figure outside who was still madly scolding Jiang Yanran, and turned back to ask her: "Do you love Jiang Yanran?"

Tong Yuhua looked at her, tears welling up in her eyes. There was grievance, reluctance and humiliation, but in the end, it all turned into compromise. She sighed heavily, tears rolling down her cheeks, and replied, "Of course, although the master and I have no feelings for each other, Yanran was born after ten months of pregnancy and hard work. How can I not love her?"

Lin Mowan nodded in understanding, having already peeled half of the orange in her hand, and then she asked again: "Do you think Jiang Yanran will really be treated well by the Jiang family if you die?"

Tong Yuhua heard this and reflexively opened her mouth to say, "Of course, no matter what, Jiang Yanran is also Jiang Wenqing's biological daughter."

But before she could say anything, the mean faces of Gongshu Tingyue and Jiang Ruixue appeared in her mind, and the words that were already on the tip of her tongue could no longer be said.

If she died, even if Jiang Wenqing would treat Jiang Yanran well, Gongshu Tingyue and Jiang Ruixue would not be able to do so.

Thinking of this, Tong Yuhua suddenly felt a pang of fear. She had insisted on being hungry for so many years, not for the identity of Jiang family's second wife, but for her daughter.

If she really died today, without anyone to protect her, she couldn't imagine how miserable Jiang Yanran's life would be. Thinking of this, she covered her face and burst into tears.

Lin Mowan stopped talking and just quietly peeled the orange in her hand. When she finished peeling the skin slowly and methodically, Tong Yuhua, who had just woken up from an injury, was already very weak and she had no strength left after crying for a while.

She leaned back against the soft pillow and for the first time felt thankful that she was not dead.

Lin Mowan put the peeled orange in her hand, listened to Jiang Wenqing's roar outside, looked at Tong Yuhua with a pale face, and lowered her voice so that only the two of them could hear, "I killed Jiang Youxi."

Tong Yuhua was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and looked at Lin Mowan in shock. However, Lin Mowan grabbed her shoulder and made a gesture to silence her, and she immediately dared not say a word.

In her horrified eyes, Lin Mowan curled her lips and revealed a triumphant smile. Tong Yuhua was instantly horrified. She didn't expect that Lin Mowan would be so bold. If Jiang Wenqing heard it by accident, one could imagine what the consequences would be.

Lin Mowan didn't care. She just pressed her shoulders and continued to whisper, "Second Mother, what should we do now? You know my secret."

Tong Yuhua shrank back, but she couldn't move as she was held by the shoulders. She looked at the person in front of her with fear and surprise. She probably didn't understand why Lin Mowan, who had just been advising her to be more open-minded, suddenly became like this.

Lin Mowan paused for a moment, then continued, "But don't be afraid. I have two choices. First, you die. Only the dead won't reveal the secret."

"Second, if you help me, I will help you get rid of the Jiang family completely, and I will ensure that you will not be criticized by others. Jiang Yanran will not have to serve as a foil for Jiang Ruixue in the future, and will not be suppressed by her forever."

"Choose one."

After Lin Mowan finished speaking, Tong Yuhua was stunned for a long time. She just looked at Lin Mowan with a blank expression. It was unknown whether she was really scared or was thinking about how to escape.

At this time, Lin Mowan turned around and looked at the people outside. She looked back as if she had seen through Tong Yuhua's thoughts. She said quietly, "Don't think about telling on me. The person I'm showing you is my man. If I say you're crazy, you'll definitely be crazy."
