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

Chapter 9 Visiting the patient
Lin Mowan was about to enter the house when she heard a strange noise behind her. She stopped and looked back at the door. A girl with a slightly embarrassed expression was standing at the door. She nervously clenched the basket in her hands, her wandering eyes full of tension and helplessness.

The visitor was the second daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Yanran.

Seeing Lin Mowan turning around, she forced a smile, then remembered to greet her, so she hurriedly bowed: "Hello, Sister Wan."

Lin Mowan's eyes wandered over her body, and after a little thought, she calmly withdrew her foot from the threshold, smiling gently as always: "What's the matter, sister?"

Her smile was kind and gentle, but her tone and expression still gave people a sense of indifference and alienation.

Jiang Yanran was a little dazed, but she quickly calmed down, picked up the basket in her hand, and said, "Sister Wan, my second mother asked me to bring you some persimmon cakes to try. They are made by my second mother herself, and they are delicious."

Lin Mowan glanced at the basket in her hand and did not refuse. She just smiled and said, "How can I trouble you to come here in person? Come in and sit down."

Jiang Yanran was obviously a little reserved and quickly shook her head: "I, I won't sit down. Second Mother asked me to take a look. Sister Wan is new here. If you feel uncomfortable with anything, just tell us. We will definitely help if we can."

She carefully handed the basket to Yuzhi. Yuzhi turned her head to look at Lin Mowan. Seeing Lin Mowan nodded in agreement, she stepped forward and took the basket from her hand.

She didn't want to come in, and Lin Mowan didn't force her. She was just being polite: "Thank you very much, sister. Please thank Second Mother for me too."

Jiang Yanran smiled shyly, nodded, then turned and left. Watching the other person's back getting farther away, the smile on Lin Mowan's face gradually disappeared, and she stared thoughtfully in the direction she left.

Soon, Yuzhi came from the side, looking at the persimmon cakes in the basket, and then looked up at Lin Mowan in embarrassment, and then asked: "Miss, what should we do with these things? How about I throw them away secretly?"

Lin Mowan remained silent. She knew Yuzhi's worry. She was simply afraid that someone from the Jiang family would do something bad to her and do something about it.

After a moment's hesitation, Lin Mowan turned around and went into the house. Yuzhi thought she had acquiesced, so she was about to take the basket away, but she heard Lin Mowan say, "Put it away and find someone to check it privately."

Although she knew that none of the Jiang family were good people, if she really looked into it, it was not as if Jiang Yanran had any grudge against her.

If she just threw the things away and found something later, it would be fine. But if not, wouldn't it be disheartening? She was never willing to do such a thing.

After lunch, Lin Mowan did not rush to visit Jiang Youxi, but sent someone to check first to make sure Gongshu Tingyue was not there before leaving.

Now, she has no intention of confronting Gongshu Tingyue. If she directly breaks off relations with him, she will not gain any benefit.

Before entering the yard, she saw maids and servants hurriedly carrying various things in and out of the yard. Lin Mowan stood outside the yard and could vaguely hear the wailing coming from inside.

She didn't hesitate and walked straight into the yard. As she got closer to Jiang Youxi's room, the wailing that sounded like a tantrum became louder and louder.

The busy maids noticed her and hurried in to report, and the voice stopped abruptly. The maids led Lin Mowan into the house. The furnishings in the house were a little messy, with overturned shelves and broken vases and porcelain. It was almost impossible to step on them.

Lin Mowan carefully picked a few places to step in, and saw Jiang Youxi lying on the bed. His face was pale and his nose and face were bruised. People said that not only was his leg broken, but also several ribs were broken, which almost crippled him.

Seeing Lin Mowan coming in tonight, he quickly stood up: “Sister Wan, did you come to see me specially?”

Lin Mowan stopped one meter away from the bed, keeping a certain distance, without commenting, and nodded with a smile: "Is the eldest master feeling better?" Jiang Youxi looked happy, without any of the previous look of being in so much pain that his face turned red and he yelled at others. Instead, his face was full of grievance and happiness.

He nodded, and then shook his head as if he had thought of something, pretending to be in pain and reaching out to her: "Sister Wan, come closer, I have to hold your hand so it won't hurt."

Lin Mowan lowered her eyes, the disgust in her eyes disappeared in an instant, she walked to the couch with a smile, but before she sat down, her hand was grabbed by Jiang Youxi, as if he was afraid that Lin Mowan would go back on her word.

Lin Mowan didn't move, just let him smile, pull and caress her hand, and suppressed the disgust in her heart. Seeing this, the maid beside her hurriedly presented the medicine: "Master, you need to drink the medicine, so that you can get better faster."

Hearing this, he was about to explode, but he felt Lin Mowan's gaze, which extinguished his anger. The dirty words on his lips instantly turned into: "Take it away, I don't want to drink it, is this thing for people to drink?"

The girl looked embarrassed and hesitated for several times. Finally, she looked at Lin Mowan for help. Lin Mowan understood instantly and took the opportunity to pull her hand out of his hand. She took the medicine bowl from the girl beside her and coaxed her softly, "As the saying goes, good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. Drink some, young master."

As she spoke, she considerately scooped up the food with a spoon and brought it to his mouth. He looked away in displeasure, but could not resist Lin Mowan's direct gaze, and her gentle coaxing was mixed with a hint of delicate begging.

Finally, after struggling for a while, he drank it obediently. Seeing him swallow half a bowl of medicine, the maid who was serving him was extremely happy.

After he finished drinking the medicine, Lin Mowan was about to make an excuse to leave, but Jiang Youxi held him tightly and refused to let go. She sneered in her heart. As expected, Shen Weiyuan's men were too lenient. But her face remained expressionless. She only let go after she promised to come back tomorrow in a coaxing tone like a child.

As they walked out of the door, Yuzhi was the first to lose her smile. She turned back and glared at him, muttering, "He's really obsessed with sex."

Lin Mowan didn't say anything, but she stopped smiling gently as she walked out of the door. There was a hint of indifference in her eyes. She wiped her hands with a handkerchief, took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Yuzhi beside her: "Send it to Yuxianglou for me, and be sure to hand it to Aunt Hong in person."

After receiving the letter, Yuzhi didn't ask any questions. She just replied and went to do it.

Aunt Hong is the madam of Yuxianglou. Before Lin Mowan's mother was with Jiang Wenqing, she was the top performer in Yuxianglou who only sold her art but not her body.

Perhaps because of her affection for her mother, Aunt Hong was also quite caring towards Lin Mowan. Ever since she knew she was found three years ago, she would ask people to secretly send her some food, clothes and money from time to time, fearing that she would be hungry or cold.

Therefore, they secretly exchanged letters. Not only Yuzhi, but Shen Weiyuan also knew about this. However, perhaps because he felt that there was no threat, Shen Weiyuan never asked her about these things.

Speaking of her mother, she was also confused. She and Jiang Wenqing were on a spring outing later. She met Jiang Wenqing, who was reading a book in a peach blossom forest and was still a grassroots scholar.

Her mother's name was Lin Yirou. She was also the daughter of a high-ranking official and was once the most talented woman in a famous family. In terms of appearance and knowledge, she was definitely one of the best in the entire Sheng'an City.

It's a pity that her family fell into poverty and she became the daughter of a criminal and was sold to Yuxiang Tower. Lin Mowan once asked her why she liked Jiang Wenqing. At that time, she just held the young Lin Mowan in her arms and said that she was impressed by Jiang Wenqing's talent.

After meeting Jiang Wenqing, she took out all her savings to support Jiang Wenqing's studies. If it was not enough, she would perform arts or even sell her body to continue to make money. She gave him money, her heart, and people. She finally waited until he became successful. Who would have known that he would be favored by Gongshu Tingyue, the unmarried Princess Zhaohe.

The late emperor had no princess, and Gongshu Tingyue was the only daughter of the late emperor's younger brother, the King of Wei. It was said that when she was born, Sheng'an was hit by a long drought and then rain fell, so she was hailed as a good omen and a lucky star, and was highly honored and favored.
