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

Chapter 58 If you don't have the courage to fight, sooner or later yours will belong to someone else
The class owner's face was slightly tense and his expression was a little tangled. Lin Mowan didn't want him to be embarrassed, so she took the initiative to speak: "It's okay, class owner, go and do your work. I'll be downstairs in a while."

Hearing this, the class owner's tangled expression relaxed, and then he cast a grateful look at Lin Mowan before getting up and leaving.

Lin Mowan was not in a hurry to go down, as the show would not start for a while. As the sky gradually darkened, the lights in the theater gradually came on.

The dim light reflected on the marble-patterned stone table. Lin Mowan leisurely drank the tea in her hand, calculated the time, and put down the cup in her hand.

Both families should have arrived by now, so it would be a good idea to go down now.

As expected, just as Lin Mowan expected, she left the attic and headed towards the courtyard. As soon as she got close, she heard Jiang Ruixue's sharp roar: "I was the one who saw her first, why should I give her up!"

Lin Mowan paused, and then Jiang Yanran's voice came: "I'm sorry, but, but, I got it first. If you want it, just tell me. It's not like I won't give it to you. Why are you so fierce?"

It sounded like she was trying to refute him, but her momentum was clearly low. She had been suppressed by Jiang Ruixue since she was a child. Even if she wanted to resist, she had no one to back her up and was also cowardly. Even if she finally stood up for herself, Jiang Ruixue didn't take it to heart.

Lin Mowan had already walked to the door. From this position she could just see the two people confronting each other. Standing under the stage, Jiang Yanran was holding a small puppet in costume in her hand, and opposite her was Jiang Yanran, with whom she was on the verge of a confrontation.

Lin Mowan was not in a hurry to go in. Facing Jiang Yanran's useless accusations, Jiang Ruixue sneered and raised her hand without hesitation to slap Jiang Yanran in the face. The force was not strong and Jiang Yanran tilted her head unexpectedly. Before she could recover from the shock, Jiang Ruixue didn't want to waste time talking to her and directly snatched the things in her hand and left.

It was not until Jiang Ruixue passed by her that she reacted and subconsciously wanted to chase him. However, Jiang Ruixue stopped before she took two steps, as if she realized that she was following him. She turned around gorgeously and stared at her with cold and cruel eyes.

Jiang Yanran really stood still, too timid to move forward, and just looked at Jiang Ruixue with eyes full of grievance and unwillingness. Jiang Ruixue, however, just raised the corners of her lips coldly and proudly, raised the doll in her hand towards her, and said proudly: "Thank you."

Jiang Ruixue then walked away, leaving Jiang Yanran alone standing on the stage sobbing, with big tears falling down her face as if they were free.

Not until Jiang Ruixue left completely did Lin Mowan cough lightly, revealing herself. Jiang Yanran was a little dazed. When she turned around, she saw Lin Mowan standing at the door, and quickly wiped the tears from her face.

Lin Mowan didn't say anything, nor did she ask about what had just happened. She just walked slowly to the front of the stage and looked at the dolls in costumes neatly arranged under the stage. These were prepared by the Loulan Opera Troupe for the distinguished guests who came to watch the show, and they were usually collected.

Obviously, what happened just now was that Jiang Ruixue and Jiang Yanran had their eyes on the same item, but Jiang Yanran had no choice but to fight for it and could only watch helplessly as the item was taken away.

Seeing Lin Mowan looking around at these puppets and picking up one to admire, Jiang Yanran's voice came from behind: "Am I useless? I can't even keep the things I like."

Lin Mowan turned around when she heard the voice, and her eyes fell on her face calmly. After a moment's thought, she did not say anything to comfort her. She just said, "Then you should remember this feeling now. If you don't have the courage to fight, sooner or later you will belong to someone else."

Jiang Yanran frowned and retorted: "But, I just took the one I liked first. It should have been mine. I don't want to argue about anything. It's obviously her fault."

Listening to her words, Lin Mowan couldn't help but sneer. In Jiang Yanran's puzzled eyes, she asked Jiang Yanran: "You don't want to fight for something, then what have you got now?"

"..." Jiang Yanran opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but her mind was blank. The deep feeling of powerlessness made her unable to find the words to refute.

Seeing that she was speechless, Lin Mowan continued, "When I said that you must have the courage to fight, I didn't mean that you should really snatch things that don't belong to you, but that you should be able to protect yourself when others try to take your things."

"Just like... just now." Lin Mowan said, raising the doll in her hand and shaking it at her like Jiang Ruixue did. Jiang Yanran's expression was a little dull, but after a while, a faint light flashed in her eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Mowan said nothing more, took the doll in her hand and temporarily left the theater...

When Lin Mowan came back, there was less than half an incense stick of time left before the show started, and people from the Jiang and Zhou families were already there.

The relationship between the two families was quite harmonious. The old lady sat in the first row, with Jiang Wenqing and Gongshu Tingyue on her left and right. The other younger generations sat in the back.

There were not many people in the theater to begin with, and the two families chatted and laughed, and were not so restrained, especially with little Zhou Ying there. Children always please their elders, and the old lady also liked her very much, and kept giving her snacks and toys.

Until Lin Mowan came in again, the originally warm and cheerful atmosphere instantly froze, and no one spoke anymore. Except for Luo Qiaoniang and young Zhou Ying, everyone else's expressions changed to varying degrees.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little weird. When Luo Qiaoniang saw that the person who came in was Lin Mowan, she stood up and greeted her warmly: "Xiaowan, are you here to watch the show too? Come and sit over here."

After she said this, she seemed to realize that the originally lively scene had suddenly become a little dull. She felt a little strange, but after looking around, she really didn't find anything wrong.

At this time, Lin Mowan seemed to be completely unaware of the strange atmosphere, and still greeted everyone with a gentle smile: "What a coincidence, everyone is here."

However, as expected, only Luo Qiaoniang and Jiang Yanran nodded politely to her. It was the old lady who reacted first and said hurriedly, "Sister Wan, come and sit down."

Lin Mowan smiled and nodded, then calmly walked to Luo Qiaoniang. The two greeted each other. She looked up at Zhou Shiran, who was sitting next to Luo Qiaoniang, and smiled, "Brother Zhou."

Zhou Shiran nodded at her. Although he was no longer as nervous as before, he still couldn't help feeling a little nervous in front of so many people.

Lin Mowan didn't care. She went to the old lady and stood in front of Gongshu Tingyue. The two looked at each other. There was a cold smile in her eyes, but she was terrifyingly calm. She nodded slightly and called out, "Mrs. Jiang."

Gongshu Tingyue looked at her, the anger in her heart rising, but thinking of the relationship behind her, she still had to force a smile: "Miss Lin."

But Lin Mowan had no intention of leaving, and she didn't even take her calm gaze away from her. Gongshu Tingyue was very smart, so of course he understood what she meant.

Although he was reluctant, he still had to stand up and said, "It's too close here. I'd better go to the back."

As she said this, she said goodbye to the old lady, and when she turned around, the smile on her face could no longer be suppressed. She immediately tensed her jawline and almost broke her teeth.

Lin Mowan also sat down smoothly next to the old lady. Sitting behind the old lady was Jiang Ruixue. When she saw Lin Mowan coming, she snorted coldly and turned her eyes away, as if to say, out of sight, out of mind.

Before the show started, Lin Mowan took the initiative to pull the old lady to talk: "Look at me, I didn't know you were coming today, and I didn't prepare any decent gifts. It's really rude."

Hearing this, the old lady's face froze and she looked a little unnatural.
