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

Chapter 70 Immortal Jump

Zhou Shiran naturally could not accept such a result. In his opinion, these things he had now were what he deserved. If he had not been replaced by someone else, he should have been the top scholar that year. He was just taking back what belonged to him. What had he done wrong?

While thinking, he turned around and looked at Youxian who was leaning against the pillar admiring her freshly painted nails. The nails were painted with the marigolds that Yuzhi had picked specially this morning.

Her skin was originally fair, and the red color of the phoenix's hair was made even brighter by her nails. She seemed to feel Zhou Shiran's gaze, and she gently raised her eyelids.

But there was not the guilt or self-blame that Zhou Shiran wanted to see in her eyes. Instead, she was exceptionally calm, and there was even a hint of ignorance and innocence in her eyes, as if what had just happened had never happened.

The overwhelming anger instantly ignited him. Without caring about anything else, Zhou Shiran rushed over, grabbed Lin Mowan's neck, and asked him with trembling lips: "Why? I have already agreed to be with you, why are you still doing this? You bitch! It's you, you ruined me! ”

Lin Mowan's eyes were cold as she stared straight into his scarlet, crazy eyes. The feeling of suffocation made her speechless, and she only offered a symbolic resistance.

As the strength in his hands tightened, a stronger feeling of suffocation came over her, pinching her until her face turned red, and her eyes went dark. In her ears, she could hear Zhou Shiran's roar, as if he was pulling a rag doll, viciously pulling her several times, until they both fell onto the soft couch beside them.

Due to the absolute disparity in strength between men and women, he pressed her under him. His scarlet eyes had lost all of their previous desire, and he strangled Lin Mowan's neck with ruthless force, intending to kill her.

Until the last moment, Lin Mowan's eyes were completely dark, but she suddenly felt the pressure on her neck loosen. She almost twitched and took a deep breath, and the darkness in front of her eyes gradually dissipated.

When she came to her senses, she was already in Yuzhi's arms. She was panting, with a buzzing sound in her ears. The scene in front of her eyes was a little double, but it did not prevent her from seeing that there was more than one person in the room.

Then his vision and hearing gradually became clear, and he heard Yuzhi's voice: "Master Guo, you must make the decision for my daughter. Master Zhou broke the law knowingly and wanted my daughter to give herself to him. If she refused, he would put her to death. He is so vicious!"

After hearing this, Lin Mowan raised her head in a daze. As expected, Guo Yinli had been standing in front of her without her knowing when, and it was Guo Yinli's men who had detained Zhou Shiran.

At the same time, there were crowds of people outside some restaurants. The guests who were originally staying in the hotel heard the noise and came over to see what was going on, but they were stopped by Guo Yinli's men and were not allowed to come in.

"Bitch!!"

Zhou Shiran roared at Lin Mowan, scaring her so much that her whole body trembled. Her face was full of fear and anxiety after being too frightened. She shrank into Yuzhi's arms as if she couldn't control herself.

After the struggle and entanglement just now, her long hair was a little disheveled, with some strands hanging messily on both sides. The corners of her eyes were slightly red, and she was full of panic. Add to that the clearly visible marks of pinching on her neck, and you will feel pity for her. Anyone who sees her will feel a pity for her.

Yuzhi carefully comforted him while waiting for Guo Yinli to express his opinion.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Guo Yinli had been solving cases for more than ten years. Although his understanding of Lin Mowan was not comprehensive, the incident with Jiang Youxi did make him dare not underestimate the person in front of him anymore.

He roughly understood in his heart that Zhou Shiran was most likely set up, but judging from the situation at the scene, the obvious victim was indeed Lin Mowan.

While thinking, he turned his head and looked at Zhou Shiran, whose hands were held by Fan, and said, "Master Zhou, I think you should calm down."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Shiran, who was so angry that he lost his usual gentleness and elegance, even when he was detained, he glared and roared: "Guo Yinli? Who do you think you are?! With your insignificant official position, I can kill you with just a flick of my finger!"

When Guo Yinli heard this, his face changed instantly, and the only trace of sympathy left in his heart disappeared. He even felt that this man deserved it.

He sighed and said, "Originally, I shouldn't have bothered Grand Tutor Qu with this matter, but you are right, I am of low rank and have little power, so I really don't have the qualifications to interrogate you." As he spoke, he winked at the people accompanying him. The two of them understood and lifted up Zhou Shiran, who was kneeling on the ground. As if he had just heard the name of his master, Zhou Shiran's mood seemed to have stabilized a lot.

Before he could say anything, Guo Yinli spoke again: "Please invite Mr. Zhou back to the yamen first and treat him well. Don't neglect him. I will report this matter to the Grand Tutor and then make a decision."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shiran calmed down instantly, and the last bit of anger he had just felt disappeared.

Everyone knows that Grand Tutor Qu is famous for being impartial and incorruptible. If this matter is to be thoroughly investigated, wouldn't it be revealed that he used money to buy Lin Mowan's official position?

Zhou Shiran, who finally regained his senses, shook off the hands of the two followers who were holding him. He was breathing heavily. The two followers behind him wanted to step forward, but after a stern look from him, they dared not to do anything else.

Seeing this, he forced himself to calm down, straightened his clothes that were messy during the struggle, looked at Lin Mowan who was crying in Yuzhi's arms, and turned to look at Guo Yinli.

Only then did he realize that Guo Yinli was not wearing official uniform, and even his two followers were dressed like ordinary people. They were probably not out to capture him, but most likely just happened to be nearby.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Guo Yinli spoke again: "Master Zhou, do you have anything to say?"

Zhou Shiran's eyes turned, his expression was fierce, and his cold gaze fell on Lin Mowan. Although he was unwilling to swallow this anger, he also knew that if he continued to entangle, the best outcome would be that both sides would suffer losses, and he didn't want that.

Zhou Shiran realized that he had been tricked and didn't want to stay any longer. He gritted his teeth, thought about it again and again, and said, "It's all a misunderstanding. I drank too much and went to the wrong room."

Guo Yinli lowered his eyes, thinking, obviously doubting his statement. If he really drank a lot of alcohol, how could he not smell of alcohol? How could his thoughts be so clear?

This is obviously concealing something.

Originally he thought that Lin Mowan was simply setting him up, but now judging from Zhou Shiran's reaction, neither of them was telling the truth.

Without waiting for Guo Yinli to react, Zhou Shiran shook off his clothes vigorously as if to sort out his shattered dignity, then turned around and left.

The people brought by Guo Yinli wanted to stop them, but Guo Yinli shook his head silently. The saying that a higher-ranking official can crush people to death is not a joke.

Seeing the protagonist leaving, the few people outside the door who were watching the fun also dispersed. Guo Yinli waved his hand and signaled his followers to go out.

He looked at Lin Mowan, who was hiding in Yuzhi's arms with a frightened face, with a complicated expression. After a moment of silence, he said, "Is it convenient for us to talk alone?"

Lin Mowan didn't say anything, she just raised her eyes tremblingly from Yuzhi's arms, her tears wet her long eyelashes, it was really heartbreaking to see her, that pitiful and innocent expression seemed to be asking, "I'm like this, why do you still want to interrogate me?"

Unexpectedly, Guo Yinli just rolled his eyes speechlessly and gave her a look that said "stop pretending". Seeing this, Lin Mowan gradually restrained her superb acting skills.

It was clearly the same face, but it seemed as if in the blink of an eye, she had transformed from a little white rabbit that could be manipulated by anyone into an old fox who was not easily surprised by fame or disgrace. She slowly got out of Yuzhi's arms, wiped the tears from her face, and sent Yuzhi away.
