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

Chapter 83 If not, I hope Miss Sun can give me a satisfactory explanation
This little girl may not be very old, but she has very deep thoughts.

For a long while, Qu Xiangru looked at her and seemed to be hesitant to speak. In the end, he just sighed silently.

Lin Mowan didn't agree with it. She didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. She just looked at him in confusion.

He was silent for a moment, his expression suddenly became sad, and then he looked at Lin Mowan earnestly, his voice low: "This world, just like this chess game, is full of difficulties, but there are always ways to solve them. There may not be only one way to get out of trouble. Child, nothing is absolute. Don't let the past hinder your future."

He spoke sincerely and seriously, but Lin Mowan just looked at him with a dim light flashing in her eyes. She suddenly had a guess in her mind that what he said was probably not groundless. He probably knew about Pei Jingjian's past, otherwise, he would not have expelled him from the sect in a rage.

After thinking this through, Lin Mowan seemed to understand the purpose of her trip. She choked up for some reason, and after a long while, she calmed down a little and said, "Yes, they say that the past is gone, but if the needle doesn't prick me, how can I really feel pain?"

She knew that maybe Qu Xiangru wanted to persuade her to let go of the past, or maybe Qu Xiangru knew that she was not a good person and wanted to persuade her to let Pei Jingjian go, but it was too late.

There are some things she has already started doing. If she stops now, she will be retaliated against. Gongshu Tingyue has already started investigating her, and she has already killed Pei Jingjian. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. She has no other choice.

Qu Xiangru said nothing more, but just sighed, looking into the distance with deep eyes, as if helpless, and a little hesitant...

When Lin Mowan left the small courtyard, it was almost completely dark. In fact, she didn't feel anything special. She could fully guess Qu Xiangru's motive for looking for her.

As the emperor's teacher, or the former General of Cavalry who was both civil and military, he was unwilling and did not want to see a talented person fall into ruin because of a small matter.

Of course, the talented person does not refer to Lin Mowan, but Pei Jingjian. Although he got his current official position by spending money bit by bit, it cannot be denied that if he had not been replaced by someone else, he would have become a high-ranking official.

But what does this have to do with Lin Mowan? His suffering was not caused by Lin Mowan, but it is true that he betrayed Lin Mowan's trust. She will not let him go, never.

As Lin Mowan expected, on the third day after Pei Jingjian's disappearance, the imperial court seemed to begin to take the matter seriously, and rumors were flying everywhere.

Finally, she waited until Sun Xiaoyue brought Luo Qiaoniang to her house to demand an explanation.

The two sides stood at the gate of Ziteng Garden and confronted each other. Sun Xiaoyue was not polite at all: "Do you dare to let us go in and search? If you don't dare, then you are hiding Zhou Shiran!"

Lin Mowan looked at her indifferently. Luo Qiaoniang also seemed to think that it was inappropriate to do so. She tried several times to pull Sun Xiaoyue away, but she was no match for the aggressive Sun Xiaoyue.

Seeing more and more people gathering around, Sun Xiaoyue seemed to have guessed that Zhou Shiran was in her yard. She put her hands on her hips and shouted, "What? You dare not admit it? You are still hiding him now. Do you know that many people have come to our Qiao Niang because of that stinky man? Hurry up and hand him over immediately!"

As soon as she said this, people who didn't know the truth immediately started to talk about it. However, Lin Mowan remained calm and just said, "I don't have anyone here, and I won't let you go in to search. Without my consent, you are trespassing."

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiaoyue sneered disdainfully. She didn't buy it. Luo Qiaoniang and she grew up together, and they were closer than real sisters. Now that her ex-husband was missing, people kept coming to ask Luo Qiaoniang to find him. She was originally in a good mood, but now she became depressed again. She was either worried that Zhou Shiran would get into trouble or that some radical people would hurt little Zhou Ying.

In Sun Xiaoyue's opinion, based on what happened before, she could almost conclude based on her guess that Zhou Shiran must be with her. Even if he was not here, it must be related to her. A living person could not just disappear inexplicably.

Sun Xiaoyue said in a bad tone, very firmly: "Hand him over, and we will pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise, Lin Mowan, you don't want to make it too ugly, do you? You are an orphan, without anyone to rely on, do you still want to be gossiped about and cut off the relationship with your neighbors?"

Listening to her questioning, Lin Mowan just found it funny: "Miss Sun, what you mean is that if you make a scene in front of my door like this, won't it make things look bad?"

Sun Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, and was choked by Lin Mowan's words. Lin Mowan just paused for a moment, and then continued: "In other words, if I didn't let you go in to search today, you would have brought people to force your way in. After all, as you said, I am just an orphan. Unlike you who are born into aristocrats, I really have no one to rely on."

Listening to her words, Sun Xiaoyue inexplicably felt a little guilty. How could she not know that doing this was indeed too much? But there was nothing she could do. Even if she spoke to Lin Mowan calmly, Lin Mowan might not buy it. It would be better to be ruthless from the beginning.

Sun Xiaoyue felt a little uncomfortable. She didn't want this to happen, but what her sister did was really hard to understand. So, she gritted her teeth and continued, "Stop talking nonsense and just tell us whether you want us to go in and search or not!"

Lin Mowan looked at her with dead eyes. After a while, she actually took the initiative to step aside and said, "Search. If there is nothing, I hope Miss Sun can give me a satisfactory explanation."

Seeing her being so proactive, Sun Xiaoyue felt a little unsure. There were only two reasons for this situation. First, she was really fine, and second, she had already hidden the person.

In Sun Xiaoyue's opinion, she was actually more inclined to the second possibility, but she still took people in to look for it. The final result was predictable, no one was found.

During the entire process, Lin Mowan just followed them quietly and cooperated very well. She would open the door when asked to do so, and answer truthfully when asked questions.

The final result was very obvious. They didn't find the person. Of course they couldn't find him. At this time, Zhou Shiran had already been sleeping at the bottom of the lake.

After searching around, they didn't find anyone. The people they brought were wandering in the yard, almost turning the entire Wisteria Garden upside down. Lin Mowan didn't try to stop them from beginning to end, but just stood aside calmly, with a dead expression on her face, as if she had long been accustomed to such treatment.

She stood not far away, looking into the distance with empty eyes, full of sorrow and gloom. The wind blew up the strands of hair at her temples, and the corners of her thin clothes also fluttered gently with the wind, as if they could be torn into pieces in the wind at any time.

Luo Qiaoniang looked at her from a certain distance, still feeling somewhat reluctant. She turned around and tried to pull Sun Xiaoyue for an unknown number of times, but Sun Xiaoyue insisted on going in to search for the third time.

This time, she didn't just pull a few times and let her break free as usual, but held Sun Xiaoyue tightly. Sun Xiaoyue was puzzled, but Luo Qiaoniang said, "Forget it, Xiaoyue, there's nothing here, let's look for it somewhere else."

Sun Xiaoyue naturally refused, but just as she was about to say something, a voice came from outside at an inopportune moment: "The Second Master of the Shen Family is here!"
