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

Chapter 78 I know what I am doing and I will not regret it
The room suddenly became very quiet, with only Shen Weiyuan's faint breathing and the sound of him constantly murmuring "Rong'er", which were like knives stabbing into Lin Mowan's heart.

Bai Yun walked to the window, trying her best to ignore the sound behind her, looking out the window at the gray and yellow light. Under the bright lantern, a few small moths kept flying over. She lowered her eyes, and suddenly turned around to look at the silent Lin Mowan.

After a moment's hesitation, she said as if possessed by some mysterious force: "If you find him annoying, why don't we throw him out?"

Lin Mowan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Bai Yun with a surprised expression. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether she was joking or serious.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and even the air in the room seemed particularly awkward. Lin Mowan didn't say anything, but her surprised eyes seemed to be asking, "Are you serious?"

After a long while, Bai Yun pulled the corner of his mouth and said helplessly: "I'm not very good at joking, don't take it seriously. Also, don't tell him when he wakes up."

Lin Mowan still didn't say anything, but she understood that perhaps Bai Yun saw that she was in a bad mood and was trying to cheer her up, but he ended up making things worse.

Come to think of it, in this situation, no one would be happy. It was obviously her, Lin Mowan, who was taking care of him, but he just kept shouting someone else's name.

Bai Yun sighed and thought, if it were her, she would have quit long ago. What a bad luck! She let me serve her personally and still be annoying.

To be honest, she admired Lin Mowan very much for being able to keep her emotions under wraps.

In fact, for Lin Mowan, she would definitely be unhappy, but what could she do? Different situations naturally cannot be generalized.

It’s not that she doesn’t care, but she can’t care. Just as Shen Weiyuan said to her the first time, “You must know your position clearly.” She has always known that she is just a substitute.

After taking care of Shen Weiyuan, Lin Mowan carefully covered him with a blanket. Bai Yun turned around and walked to the bed again. He looked at the person in front of him and was silent for a few seconds. After hesitating, he said to Lin Mowan: "Actually, I think there is more than one way to go in this world. Although it may be much more difficult, it is better than letting others bully you."

"Besides, even if you really want to find a man, you don't necessarily have to hang yourself on a tree, Miss Lin, what do you think?"

Lin Mowan understood what she meant. Perhaps out of respect for Shen Weiyuan as a friend, or perhaps out of pity for her as an orphan, Bai Yun's words seemed to reveal his misunderstanding and his advice to her to leave Shen Weiyuan and stop being a mistress.

Seeing this, Lin Mowan just looked at her, as if to make sure that she had no intention of mocking her, but was sincerely advising her. However, Lin Mowan smiled, feeling a little bitter and a little sad.

She turned around and looked at the person on the bed with complicated eyes, and said, "I know what I am doing, and I will not regret it. Anyway, I have always been the one abandoned when faced with a choice between two options, so it doesn't matter who is around me." As long as she can be given what she wants, it's fine.

Of course, she didn't say the last half of the sentence.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yun stopped trying to persuade her. Everyone has their own destiny, and that was all he had to say. He could only watch. He did not quite understand her self-deprecating behavior, so he sighed silently and turned to drink tea.

Bai Yun stayed until the sky was slightly bright, and only left after she was sure that Li Sui and his group would not regret their departure. She also left a few people from the Bai family outside the courtyard to prevent them from making a surprise attack after she left...

When the people woke up again, it was already the evening of the third day. The fiery clouds in the sky dyed most of the streets red. The setting sun fell through the window and sprinkled on the bed. Shen Weiyuan slowly opened his eyes.

When the scene in front of him gradually became clear, the familiar bed ceiling and the objects around him were also familiar. This was Zither Garden. He felt relieved and slowly turned around. He saw Lin Mowan sleeping soundly at the head of the bed, and Xiao Sanhua was curled up beside the bed and also sleeping soundly.

The surroundings were very quiet, as if they were the only ones left in the world. This moment seemed particularly beautiful, and even his eyes softened a little. He stretched out his stiff fingers, just enough to touch her cheek, but he didn't expect that Lin Mowan was still very alert, and suddenly woke up as if she sensed something.

She slowly raised her head and happened to meet the eyes of the person on the bed. Seeing him wake up, Lin Mowan's tense heartstrings relaxed slightly and she exhaled heavily.

She didn't say anything, but just held his hand silently. At this moment, perhaps even she herself couldn't tell why she suddenly loosened her taut heartstrings.

He did not rest for long afterwards. On the third night, he got up and wrote a letter to Shen Junchi to report his safety. It was this letter that calmed everyone's restless hearts.

You know, Shen Weiyuan is now the backbone of the Shen family. If Shen Weiyuan is gone, it is only a matter of time before the Shen family is disintegrated.

As to why he appeared here and attracted so many officers and soldiers to search openly, Lin Mowan never asked a single question. She only realized that what he was doing might really lead to the execution of his entire clan.

Of course, Shen Weiyuan had no intention of explaining it proactively. His injuries were not light, but he did not rest for long in Zither Garden. He returned to Beiding Hou Mansion early the next morning after waking up.

Before leaving, Lin Mowan saw him out. Standing under the carriage, Shen Weiyuan seemed to remember something. He turned around and looked at Lin Mowan with some apology in his eyes.

He understood that if it weren't for Lin Mowan, he might be in great danger this time. However, facing the person in front of him, he never said too much. He just gently held her in his arms without even a word of promise.

After the brief hug, Lin Mowan was still a little dazed, but Shen Weiyuan had already boarded the carriage. The carriage slowly moved forward and gradually disappeared from Lin Mowan's sight. After a long while, she withdrew her gaze and turned to enter Wisteria Garden.

After this incident, Lin Mowan hadn't seen Shen Weiyuan for a long time, but she would have someone deliver food, clothing, and monthly money to him on time, always arriving early and never late.

She then felt that perhaps it had nothing to do with her, and she felt inexplicably lost in her heart, but she quickly calmed herself down.

It's midsummer in the blink of an eye.

The scorching sun was burning the ground, especially at noon, when the ground seemed to be wrapped in layers of terrifying heat waves, making it impossible for people to stay outside for long.

Not long after, Zhou Shiran asked someone to pass on a message and invite him to a restaurant.

Of course Lin Mowan knew what it was about, so she didn't refuse and happily accepted the invitation.

In the restaurant room, when Lin Mowan arrived, Zhou Shiran seemed to have been waiting for some time. He stood aside with his back to the door. Even though his face could not be seen, one could vaguely feel the fatigue emanating from him.

Lin Mowan didn't care, and even had an expected smile on her face. She entered the house and closed the door. She didn't bother to pretend anymore and asked directly: "Brother Zhou, where is the thing I want?"

Zhou Shiran heard this and slowly turned his head to look at her. He just frowned slightly and said, "I have already raised 30,000 taels. How can you guarantee that you can wash away the bad reputation on me after you get 30,000 taels?"
