Chapter 67 Who are you? What is your purpose?
At this moment, the two people standing inside the door were dumbfounded.

Seeing Lin Mowan falling in front of her, Luo Qiaoniang was the first to react. Without caring about anything else, she hurried forward to help the person up and check on him.

Sun Xiaoyue stood there, her expression shocked and unbelievable. She murmured, "This, this spoiled child is different. How come he fainted after just a few scoldings?"

Listening to her confused and dissatisfied muttering, Luo Qiao Niang looked helpless: "What are you standing there for? Help her in first. She must have caught a cold after standing outside all night."

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiaoyue nodded quickly, and together with Luo Qiaoniang, she lifted the man off the ground and carried him into the inner room...

When Lin Mowan woke up again, she saw an unfamiliar ceiling of the bed. She was stunned for a moment, and heard voices one after another, and the sound became clearer little by little.

Lin Mowan slowly turned her head and looked over, and saw Luo Qiaoniang explaining something to the doctor, probably talking about this matter.

Soon, the doctor finished his instructions and left with the medicine box.

Luo Qiaoniang heaved a sigh of relief, and when she turned around, she saw that Lin Mowan had woken up. She happened to meet Lin Mowan's gaze, and she was the first to look away, saying: "You are sick, I asked Xiaoyue to boil the medicine, Yuzhi is on the way, drink the medicine and you can leave."

Lin Mowan didn't say anything, just lay on the bed and looked at her quietly. It wasn't until she turned around to leave that Lin Mowan quickly struggled to get up and called her, "Sister."

Perhaps because of her illness, her voice was still hoarse. Luo Qiao Niang couldn't bear it after all, so she stopped and looked back at the person on the bed: "Anything else?"

Lin Mowan looked at her, then turned her eyes away, slowly lifted the quilt, and sat on the bed. She still felt a little dizzy, but seemed to be much better.

She closed her eyes, held her breath, then opened her eyes again and slowly stood up. She was not wearing shoes, and the cold touch of the floor from the soles of her feet went straight to her brain, making her instantly sober.

Luo Qiao Niang stood still. She slowly approached and stood in front of Luo Qiao Niang, saying softly, "Sister, why don't you believe me? Why do you think it must be my fault?"

Luo Qiaoniang looked at her helplessly: "I saw it with my own eyes, how can I believe you?"

Hearing this, Lin Mowan smiled, her tone as calm as usual, she said: "What did you see with your own eyes? You saw me hugging him, and then he pushed me away when you called his name, and then he started to accuse me? What about before you came out?"

These words left Luo Qiaoniang speechless. She had just listened to Zhou Shiran's words before, and he had indeed behaved very well in the past few days. This had never happened before, but in the past few days, every time he came back from work, he would bring her a gift. Although it was not expensive, she was very happy.

But now, listening to Lin Mowan's words, it was like something hit hard in the heart.

But Lin Mowan didn't give her a chance to respond, and continued: "Did he push me away before you came out? If he didn't want to, could I force him? Sister, why is it my fault alone?"

Facing Lin Mowan's questioning tone, Luo Qiaoniang choked up a little. She did see it. That night, they hugged each other, and it wasn't just Lin Mowan hugging him, they really hugged each other, and Zhou Shiran didn't resist at all.

But later, he was so sincere when he explained it, and repeatedly assured me that he would not do it again. Plus, there were so many surprises and sweet love in the past few days. Although it was hard, I actually forgave him.

But when facing Lin Mowan, she really didn't know what attitude she should adopt. The best approach would probably be to have no contact with her in the future.

Luo Qiao Niang looked at her, closed her eyes, and then opened them again. She just sighed heavily and said, "I, I didn't say it was all your fault. I just felt that I didn't want this kind of thing to happen again in the future."

"Miss Lin." She paused and looked up with helplessness in her eyes: "Xiaoyue is right. You are smart, beautiful, knowledgeable, and gentle. There should be a lot of people who like you. You really shouldn't be like this." Although she said that it was not Lin Mowan's fault alone, the meaning expressed in her words was completely different.

Lin Mowan pondered her words and felt a little hurt. She lowered her eyes, suppressed the discomfort in her heart, and suddenly laughed out loud. Luo Qiaoniang, on the other hand, looked confused.

She didn't say anything, but sighed softly, raised her head, wiped away the tears that had fallen on her cheeks, turned lightly, walked behind her, and whispered: "Sister, I really don't want to make you sad, but I think there are some things you have the right to know."

As she spoke, she had already circled around Luo Qiao Niang and finally stood on her left. Meeting Luo Qiao Niang's suspicious eyes, Lin Mowan slowly picked up a jade pendant.

The moment she saw the jade pendant, Luo Qiaoniang's face changed drastically. She snatched it away almost subconsciously, examined it carefully, and then asked her, "How did this get to you?"

Lin Mowan smiled, but did not rush to answer. Instead, she walked forward and returned to the window to sit down. She looked at the shocked Luo Qiaoniang in front of her and said quietly, "Don't get me wrong. He didn't give this to me, nor did I steal it."

As she spoke, she paused and chuckled twice, which made her even more mysterious. Luo Qiaoniang held the jade pendant tightly in her hand and asked through gritted teeth, "Where did you get this jade pendant?"

When she said this, her voice trembled almost uncontrollably. She couldn't believe that this object, which had once been a token of love between her and Zhou Shiran, actually appeared in Lin Mowan's hands.

Seeing her heartbroken look, Lin Mowan couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up from the bed again and looked at her with a little more heartache, but more of it was the same unchanging indifference.

She said, "Do you know Aunt Hong from Yuxianglou? She gave it to me, and she got it from a girl from Yuxianglou."

After saying that, she looked at Luo Qiao Niang calmly, as if observing every change in her expression. Finally, Luo Qiao Niang finally reacted and murmured, "Impossible..." Then she turned around and was about to leave.

But how could Lin Mowan not know what she was thinking? She left and said, "It's no use asking him. He will tell you that the jade pendant is lost and he is looking for it. He will also thank you for helping him find it."

After listening to Lin Mowan's words, Luo Qiaoniang stopped, but was still hesitating whether to go to Zhou Shiran to ask for clarification or to believe Lin Mowan's words.

Lin Mowan also said bluntly: "If you don't believe it, you can go and try it and see what he says."

Luo Qiao Niang held the jade pendant in her hand and felt her head buzzing. It was hard to believe that her husband, who had been so caring for her this morning and was inseparable from her, actually gave their token of love to the girl from Yuxiang Tower.

She turned around and looked at Lin Mowan who was standing there. Thinking about what had happened in the past few days, she finally realized something and asked Lin Mowan belatedly, "Who are you? What is your purpose?"

But facing her questioning, Lin Mowan just shook her head, staring at her calmly and meaningfully. She turned around and walked back step by step: "What do you want? Money? Or the position of Shangshu's wife? Or Zhou Shiran?"

Seeing her approaching tentatively, her voice trembled uncontrollably with each question she asked. He was afraid that what Lin Mowan wanted was really in what she said, but at the same time he was afraid that it was not, but she wanted more.

She was conflicted and just wanted to resolve the matter quickly.

Facing Luo Qiaoniang's stubborn eyes, Lin Mowan was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "No, none of them, I just want my dignity back."

Now, Luo Qiaoniang was confused again. She didn't understand what Lin Mowan was saying. Lin Mowan didn't care. She just smiled at her and said, "Sister, do you think he really loves you?"
