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

Chapter 59 I naturally know that the old woman loves me

After pondering for a while, the old lady hesitated to speak, but in the end, she didn't say anything. Finally, Jiang Wenqing took over the conversation: "These are all my thoughts. The old lady has been unwell recently. The doctor said that she needs to go out more. I arranged for you to come to the theater, and I forgot to send someone to inform you. Now that you are here, there is no need to be so weird."

Seeing that he actually said it so clearly, even Jiang Ruixue behind him was a little shocked. The old lady quickly put on a white face at this time: "Good child, don't think too much. Our Jiang family has not forgotten you. Your father has been busy these days."

Hearing this, Lin Mowan quickly nodded and said, "Of course, I know that the old lady and my father are the people who treat me the best, and the Jiang family is my only relative in this world."

After hearing this, the old lady was so moved that she gently stroked Lin Mowan's cheek with her thin hands and praised her as "good child" repeatedly.

Lin Mowan smiled, and then casually mentioned: "I said before that I haven't watched Huangmei Opera for a long time, so I thought of coming to see it. Originally, the Second Master was going to come with me."

Hearing this, everyone's faces changed again, and their expressions became serious. They even looked around subconsciously, and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that there was no one around. Only Jiang Ruixue behind him immediately perked up, completely forgetting her previous idea of ​​"out of sight, out of mind", and turned around to glare at Lin Mowan fiercely.

Lin Mowan caught a glimpse of it and knew that her goal had been achieved. She smiled slightly and said, "I am really flattered, but then the Second Master had something urgent to do, so I had to come alone, which was quite a pity."

There was a lot of deliberateness in these words. In the eyes of the Jiang family, this was naked bragging, especially Jiang Ruixue, who was probably so angry that her teeth were about to break.

But Lin Mowan seemed not to notice at all and was too lazy to even pay attention to her eyes. This made the already arrogant Jiang Ruixue even angrier. Just as she was about to explode, her hand was tightly grabbed by Gongshu Tingyue beside her. The next moment, she was pushed back into the chair before she could fully stand up.

She turned her head and glared at Gongshu Tingyue, but Gongshu Tingyue didn't show any intention of pushing her away. This forced Jiang Ruixue to compromise. She just angrily shook off Gongshu Tingyue's hand and sat back in her chair angrily.

At this time, the old lady became more and more intimate with Lin Mowan. She held Lin Mowan's hand and smiled from ear to ear. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her. Of course, she didn't like Lin Mowan, but she liked the fact that Lin Mowan and Shen Weiyuan had such a good relationship. Even if there was nothing between the two of them, at least Shen Weiyuan must have started to pay attention to Lin Mowan.

Compared to the two young ladies of the Jiang family, one is domineering and the other is timid and cowardly, there is definitely no one more suitable to curry favor with Shen Weiyuan than Lin Mowan, the adopted daughter who is sensible, gentle and considerate.

If the old lady treated Lin Mowan well in the past, it was because Jiang Youxi liked her, and she also intended to let Lin Mowan be Jiang Youxi's concubine. Although she had not yet figured out how to announce it to the world so that the Jiang family would not become the target of public criticism, Jiang Youxi died first.

Now, for the Jiang family, Lin Mowan's only value is whether she can cling to Shen Weiyuan, the big Buddha. From the words that Lin Mowan deliberately revealed just now, we can know that no matter what the relationship between the two is now, at least Lin Mowan still has a chance.

The old lady concealed the excitement in her eyes, held her hand tightly and said, "It's okay, there will be plenty of time in the future, there's no need to rush."

Lin Mowan also smiled and nodded. As expected, after a brief hesitation, the old lady took the initiative to ask: "Sister Wan, are you used to living in Ziteng Garden? I think it must be not as good as the Jiang Mansion. Why don't you move back?"

"This..." Lin Mowan didn't refuse when she heard it, but she didn't agree either. She just lowered her eyelids in embarrassment.

The old lady continued, "Since Brother Xi left, Brother An got into trouble again. I, the old lady, have always felt anxious and upset. Today, after seeing you, I feel much better. You should come back and live with me."

As she spoke, her face was filled with loneliness and reluctance.

In fact, it is not difficult to see that although the old lady seems to have recovered from her illness, she looks much thinner and her complexion is not as rosy as before. Seeing her pleading, Lin Mowan is still a little embarrassed. From time to time, she looks up at Jiang Wenqing, who is sitting beside her with a gloomy face. His face has not been better since Lin Mowan came in from outside.

Especially when he heard the old lady wanting Lin Mowan to go back and live with him, the anger in her eyes seemed to burn a hole in Lin Mowan. Of course he didn't want to do that. He had finally slept well for a few days. If Lin Mowan came back, he would have nightmares every night again.

After considering it over and over again, Lin Mowan finally shook her head and refused, saying only: "Of course I know that the old lady loves me, but the eldest young master just left, and I am inevitably sad when I go back now. I still want to calm down."

When she said the second half of the sentence, Lin Mowan's voice began to choke, and the old lady's eyes also turned red. She held Lin Mowan's hand tightly, and finally did not refuse...

After everyone finished greeting each other, the play officially began. The audience became quiet, and the stage was filled with singing. The old lady was so fascinated by the show that she even shed tears.

Lin Mowan didn't feel anything, nor did she not understand it, she just didn't like it very much. Watching it with him was just to fulfill the purpose of her trip today.

When the last game was about to end, Lin Mowan made an excuse to leave. As soon as she walked out of the threshold of the hall, she glanced back and saw Jiang Ruixue behind her also beginning to make a move.

Lin Mowan curled the corners of her lips. It seemed that today was not in vain. She was just afraid that she would not be fooled...

Not long after, Lin Mowan leisurely went to the lakeside of the theater alone. She had heard from the owner before that this place was almost not open to the public. As long as the guests who came to watch the show did not have special requirements, they would not come here.

At this time, the yard was very quiet. You could faintly hear the chirping of insects hidden in the pond, and some faint singing sounds in the distance. Under the cover of moonlight, the calm surface of the lake seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze.

Not long after she stood still, she suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps behind her. Lin Mowan chuckled and flashed effortlessly. A figure flashed by quickly, followed by a loud sound of falling into the water and high splashes of water.

The person who fell into the water obviously couldn't swim and was still struggling desperately for help, but Lin Mowan just stood there indifferently, watching the struggling figure in the water.

But when Lin Mowan took a closer look, she realized that the person who fell into the water was not Jiang Ruixue, but the girl beside her. She breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little speechless, and murmured, "What an unlucky scapegoat."

Just as she was thinking about it, suddenly a hand grabbed her shoulder, causing her to turn around subconsciously. Then, with a crisp "pa" sound, a slap fell mercilessly on Lin Mowan's face.

Lin Mowan was a little confused. She raised her eyes slightly, straightened her head which was slapped off course, and looked at her. The person who came was Jiang Ruixue. She still looked arrogant, as if she was complacent about the slap she had just received.

She folded her arms, raised her chin slightly, and raised her eyebrows. She said, "Lin Mowan, don't think that you are a piece of cake just because your second brother said he wants to watch a play with you."

"Second brother is willing to accompany you because you are the adopted daughter of the Jiang family. He is not giving you face, but giving the Jiang family face. Don't flatter yourself. Don't look at what kind of person you are."

Facing Jiang Ruixue's warnings and insults, Jiang Ruixue was surprised that Lin Mowan did not show any anger at all. Instead, she laughed heartily. This stunned the originally arrogant Jiang Ruixue for a moment.
