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

Chapter 75 What if the search leads to this place?

Listening to Lin Mowan's words, his face darkened, and he understood what she meant. She just wanted to tell him that if Luo Qiaoniang revealed the whole story first, then no matter how much money he gave her, it would be of no use.

It must be said that Lin Mowan's reminder was right. Zhou Shiran had no choice but to grit his teeth and nodded. Then he asked again: "After taking the money, are you sure this won't happen again in the future?"

"Of course." Lin Mowan agreed immediately and nodded sincerely. This time Zhou Shiran had no choice but to believe it. At this point, the only way was to give it a try.

The deal was done, and Lin Mowan didn't stay for long. She just stood up slowly. Before leaving, she looked back at the man sitting at the table and asked, "Do you need me to take you home?"

When Zhou Shiran heard this, he looked dazed for a moment and hesitated for a moment. He just looked at her warily, then shook his head and waved his hand. He didn't dare to get on this woman's carriage easily again.

Lin Mowan didn't care either. She just smiled, turned around and left. Not long after, the rumbling sound of a carriage was heard outside. Zhou Shiran closed his eyes, and a deep feeling of powerlessness instantly filled his limbs. For the first time, he began to regret taking the 30,000 taels. It was the 30,000 taels that made him what he is now.

Thinking of this, he got so angry that he picked up the wine jar in his hand and smashed it hard on the ground, then turned around and walked out of the inn...

Lin Mowan returned to Zither Garden without any worries. She just sat down to read a book and asked Yuzhi to prepare for bed and bath.

But before Yuzhi had left for long, and before she had turned a few pages of the book in her hand, an unusual sound was heard outside, as if someone was climbing over the wall.

Lin Mowan immediately became alert. Although she knew that it was not a place that ordinary people could easily break in, she still became worried subconsciously for some reason.

After all, so many things have happened recently. Gongshu Tingyue suddenly came to the door earlier, obviously she had discovered something. She has been away for so long. If she wants to take the next step, it is time for her to come.

While thinking, she put down the book in her hand, stood up and walked out the door.

The yard was a little dark. The huge crabapple tree planted in the corner was in full bloom. The branches were almost invisible. The petals fell and danced in the gauze-like moonlight.

Lin Mowan stood under the tree. The wind blew up her clothes and dropped flower petals. She looked around the yard but didn't find anything. Just as she was wondering, she turned around and wanted to go back. Suddenly, a black shadow fell. Lin Mowan was startled. Before she could react, she was hugged by the falling object and fell to the ground together. After several tumbles, they barely stopped.

She frowned and quickly got up from the man. Then in the weak moonlight, she could see the man's face clearly. It was Shen Weiyuan. His face was pale and he had fainted. There was blood on his face. She didn't know if it was his.

"Second Master?" Lin Mowan quickly came to her senses, raised her hand and gently patted his face, but the other party did not respond. Lin Mowan frowned, sat up vigilantly, looked around the yard, and made sure that no one was chasing them before trying to help the person on the ground up.

At this time, Yuzhi, who had just come back from outside with water, heard the noise and came out of the house. When she saw the scene, she recognized the man lying on the ground at a glance. Without bothering to ask anything, she hurried forward to help.

With the combined efforts of the two, they finally dragged Shen Weiyuan from the yard into the house and gently placed him on the bed. With the light shining on her, Lin Mowan could see clearly that he was wearing a nightgown and seemed to have been masked before falling into the yard.

There were bloodstains on his face, neck, and even on his exposed hands. Even his nightgown had a darker black patch than the surrounding area, probably caused by the blood. After settling him down, Lin Mowan wanted to get him a glass of water to see if she could feed him, but when she raised her hand, she found that her hands and clothes were also covered in his blood.

How badly was he injured?
Looking at the person on the bed, Lin Mowan made a sound, as if she felt something was wrong. When Yuzhi said, "I'll go get a doctor," Lin Mowan quickly stopped her, "Wait!"

Yuzhi was a little puzzled. How could he not go to see a doctor if he was already like this? She looked at Lin Mowan suspiciously and anxiously, but Lin Mowan refused to let her go. She just said, "Go get the medicine box and ask someone to boil some water."

Yuzhi was puzzled. She hesitated for a moment between believing Lin Mowan and going to call a doctor. She looked at the person on the bed and finally quickly went to find the medicine box.

Without waiting for her to ask anything, Lin Mowan helped Shen Weiyuan change his bloody clothes and said, "Go outside and see what's going on."

Yuzhi nodded and hurried out.

The maid in the yard quickly boiled hot water and brought it in one after another. Lin Mowan took off his clothes, revealing the hideous knife wound on his front, which extended from the chest to the side of the waist. It looked hideous and terrifying, and even the white ribs could be vaguely seen.

Just looking at it makes people feel terrified. If this wound is not treated quickly and left untreated, he will not survive the night just from the bleeding.

Lin Mowan was helpless. She had wanted to wait for Yuzhi to come back before making any plans, but in this situation, she could only help him treat his wounds first, especially the most serious knife wound on his chest.

Not long after, Yuzhi came back from outside in a hurry. She was so anxious that she didn't even have time to breathe. She walked in and hurried to the bed. Looking at Lin Mowan who was stitching up his wound, her face was a little serious: "Miss, it's not good. There are a large number of soldiers outside sealing off the city and searching for people. They have also controlled all the pharmacies in the city. Fortunately, we didn't rush out to ask for a doctor just now."

Lin Mowan's expression also looked a little ugly: "Searching door to door? Searching for what?"

Yuzhi heard this, and for a moment, her throat seemed to be stuck. Her eyes were a little evasive, but it was also fleeting. Then she hurriedly said: "The distance is too far, I didn't hear clearly, otherwise, let's take me away now, before they get here."

Lin Mowan didn't say anything. Judging from Yuzhi's reaction, this matter was definitely not simple. It must be related to Shen Weiyuan. If things go wrong, it might be a matter of life and death.

After a long silence, Yuzhi anxiously waited for Lin Mowan's answer. However, Lin Mowan finally shook her head and did not ask any further questions. She just lowered her eyes and continued to suture the wound.

Yuzhi was anxious: "Why, girl? We still have time to leave. What if they search here?"

Lin Mowan didn't answer immediately. Finally, the wound was sutured and the bleeding stopped. She slowly breathed a sigh of relief, then raised her eyes to meet Yuzhi's anxious eyes and said, "He is seriously injured and can't be moved easily now. It's very dangerous. If it's not handled properly, he will bleed profusely and he will die."

Upon hearing this, Yuzhi was a little troubled, but seeing that the soldiers were searching house by house, they would soon be approached. Yuzhi naturally felt a little worried. If they were found, they would die together.
