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

Chapter 60 Let's Play a Game
Somehow, hearing her low laughter and the increasingly faint cries for help in the lake, it seemed particularly creepy in the silent night, and Jiang Ruixue couldn't help but shudder.

"You, what are you laughing at!" Jiang Ruixue pretended to be calm, but her body couldn't help but move backwards until the girl fell into the pool and sank to the bottom of the water without struggling anymore.

Lin Mowan stopped laughing, raised the corner of her mouth, and whispered: "You just killed someone, I saw it all."

Jiang Ruixue was slightly startled. She didn't know if it was because Lin Mowan's eyes were too calm, but she began to feel panic for no reason. But she quickly reacted and realized that Lin Mowan was talking about the girl who wanted to push Lin Mowan into the water just now, but dodged her and fell in instead.

She gritted her teeth and quickly retorted: "You, what nonsense are you talking about! Obviously, it was you who dodged her and fell down. If there is any responsibility, it should be your responsibility. You killed her!"

Seeing this, Lin Mowan was not in a hurry, but just smiled at her: "I don't even know what she looks like, why kill her? If you hadn't ordered her to push me, would she have fallen?"

"..."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruixue was speechless. She gritted her teeth, the fear in her heart growing stronger and stronger. The weather was not cold, but at this moment she felt a chill and goose bumps all over her body.

Jiang Ruixue looked around and saw no one around. She stole a glance at the lake which had returned to calm. She swallowed and forced herself to calm down. Then she said, "Daddy is right. You are really a lunatic!"

After she said that, she turned around and left as if escaping.

But how could Lin Mowan let her go so easily? Taking advantage of the moment when her back was turned, Lin Mowan was quick to grab her hair and pulled it back hard. Jiang Ruixue opened her mouth and was about to scream, but Lin Mowan covered her mouth.

Lin Mowan came closer to her, looking at her horrified face, but curled her lips with interest and whispered: "You want to leave after beating someone? Did I agree?"

At this moment, Lin Mowan no longer looked as helpless as she did in front of everyone. She was just pulling her hair with such force that she couldn't break free.

Seeing this, Jiang Ruixue tactfully suppressed the sob in her throat and was too frightened to move. No matter how stupid she was, she knew that there was no one around her at the moment. Even if Lin Mowan really killed her and threw the body to the bottom of the lake, no one might find it.

Seeing that she seemed to have something to say, Lin Mowan released the hand that was covering her mouth and instead gently pinched her neck. The force was not strong enough to leave no marks, but it was enough to control Jiang Ruixue so that she would not move around or break free.

She trembled and said, "What do you want?"

As he spoke, tears had already fallen down his cheeks, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Mowan was filled with uncontrollable fear.

Lin Mowan smiled without saying a word, admiring her frightened look with a faint gaze. Then she pulled her hair and walked to another stage on the side. Like the stage where the Jiang family was, it was an independent room.

Lin Mowan pushed the door open with one hand, grabbed Jiang Ruixue's hair with the other and threw her in. She fell heavily to the ground, unable to control her grievances and burst into tears. She sobbed and asked Lin Mowan: "How did I offend you? Why are you like this!"

Lin Mowan stood at the door, still not saying a word. There was no light in the room, it was pitch black, with only a beam of hazy moonlight coming in through the open door.

Lin Mowan stood in the backlight, her expression was particularly indifferent. She ignored Jiang Ruixue's question, remained silent for a moment, and said in a light tone: "Let's play a game."

Jiang Ruixue was suspicious and confused when she heard this, so she sat on the ground without saying anything. Seeing this, Lin Mowan continued, "Have you ever played hide-and-seek? When I was a kid, I often played with my father, but he always disappeared while playing, and he would disappear for more than half a year."

At that time, she didn't know where her father had gone. She only knew that whenever her father said he wanted to play hide-and-seek with her, she knew that he seemed to be leaving.

So, she began to resist this game. Every time she pestered Jiang Wenqing to play something else, Jiang Wenqing would get angry. There was nothing she could do. She wanted her father to stay a little longer, so she began to compromise and even made an agreement with him that she would not disappear suddenly.

He always agreed quickly, but he broke his promise every time. Later, she realized that he didn't disappear suddenly, but went back to his own home. He had other families, and he and his mother were not his family. Jiang Ruixue didn't seem to understand what she said, but thought that as long as he played this game with her, she would let him go. So she nodded quickly and replied with a trembling voice: "Okay, I'll play with you."

As if she got a response, Lin Mowan smiled happily, but then slowly took out a dagger from behind her. Jiang Ruixue's heart, which had just calmed down, was hanging again, and even her breathing became a little rapid.

Lin Mowan turned a blind eye and continued, "The rules of the game are that the loser must disappear from this world."

Looking at the dagger in her hand, Jiang Yanran naturally understood the meaning of "disappear" in her words. Driven by instinct, she shook her head in horror and wanted to refuse.

But Lin Mowan didn't listen to her. She just turned her head and said silently: "I will come to find you after I close the door. Hide quickly."

After saying that, she glanced sideways, gave her an evil smile, and went to close the door. As one side of the door was closed, Jiang Ruixue finally recovered from her fright.

She had no choice but to do it. The gleaming dagger in Lin Mowan's hand showed no mercy. She crawled to her feet, trying to find a exit during this time.

Her strong desire to survive made her stumble towards the window, but she found that she couldn't open it at all. She turned back and went to another place, but the same thing happened again. She saw that Lin Mowan had closed the door completely, and the room was plunged into darkness. Only with the faint light could she see the general outlines of the objects in the room.

Jiang Ruixue was a little panicked, but soon calmed down. Lin Mowan began to count down: "Five."

She was trembling all over, and her eyes, which had already adapted to the darkness, quickly scanned the surroundings. Since she couldn't escape, she was forced to find a place to hide.

"Four."

As the countdown continued, Jiang Ruixue rushed to the backstage:
"three."

Perhaps because this side had not been used for a long time, the backstage was a bit messy and there was no lighting. She could only rely on her own senses and step on the scattered props, clothes and various unknown things.

"two."

Lin Mowan's countdown could be heard from behind. The volume wasn't loud, but in the silence of the night, it sounded so abrupt and harsh.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer behind her, Jiang Ruixue slipped and fell into a pile of costumes in a panic. She was so scared that she covered her hands and dared not make a sound.

Just as she was struggling to get out, the life-threatening countdown sounded again: "One."

This time it was very close, and it was obvious that Lin Mowan had also arrived backstage.

Jiang Ruixue had no choice but to curl up in a pile of costumes, not daring to move at all. She covered her mouth tightly, trying her best not to make any sound.

Lin Mowan's voice came again: "Hide well, I'm coming." This time she was closer, she was coming this way!
Jiang Ruixue felt that all the hairs on her body stood up. She curled up in her costume without moving, praying that she could escape this disaster. But through the gaps in the costume, she widened her eyes in fear again.

I saw a pair of feet slowly approaching this side. It was Lin Mowan. As she walked, she used the dagger in her hand to pick out all the possible hiding places one by one, as if to make sure there was no one inside.

Jiang Ruixue was even more frightened, but she didn't dare to move at all. When the pair of feet stopped in front of her, she even held her breath for a moment, and her heart seemed to be pounding out of her chest. The two were so close that she could almost see the embroidery on Lin Mowan's shoes.
