Chapter 96 Temptation
Following Jiang Youan into the woods, after seeing his figure, Lin Mowan did not take the initiative to move forward, but followed him not too far away, making sure she would not lose him, but not too far away to be discovered by him.

But she soon discovered that the foolish Jiang Youan seemed to have lost his purpose after entering. After several twists and turns, he followed the little butterfly flying in front of him and went deep into the forest.

Lin Mowan stood aside, looking at the rattle that fell on the ground. She picked it up expressionlessly, thinking that if she just left it there, maybe when Gongshu Tingyue found out that Jiang Youan was gone and sent someone to look for him, they might see the rattle and find clues.

It’s a pity that she discovered it first.

She curled her lips, silently put away the rattle, and did not follow him, but turned around and went back.

At this time, Yuzhi, who had been waiting at the place where Lin Mowan entered, was also extremely anxious and kept looking inside. When she saw Lin Mowan's figure, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to meet her.

"Girl?" She called softly, but her eyes were curious as to whether she had discovered anything.

Lin Mowan didn't say anything, but just stuffed the rattle in her sleeve into her sleeve. Yuzhi was stunned for a moment, but she still hurriedly held the rattle. After her hand felt it clearly, she was a little confused, but Lin Mowan said, "I want an identical one."

Upon hearing this, Yuzhi didn't ask any more questions. She held the things in her sleeves tightly, nodded, and turned around to do it.

After watching Yuzhi leave, Lin Mowan returned to her seat as if nothing had happened, poured herself a cup of tea, and drank it while waiting for her to come back.

Not long after, Luo Haosong came out from the side room carrying little Zhou Ying. Children are always sleepy, and she had just woken up and was lazily lying on Luo Haosong's shoulder.

Lin Mowan watched them walk by, just sitting in her seat and quietly observing the people around her, until she saw a few slightly anxious figures moving among the crowd, she curled her lips calmly.

Yuzhi moved quickly and had bought the things in less than half an hour. She walked through the crowd, approached Lin Mowan, and handed the things to Lin Mowan under the cover of the table.

Looking at the identical things, Lin Mowan curled her lips in satisfaction, and then asked her in a low voice: "Where's the other one?"

"Everything has been put away as the young lady wished." Yuzhi replied softly.

Lin Mowan nodded with satisfaction, and looked back at Gongshu Tingyue and a group of palace servants who were still moving among the crowd. She took the rattle in her hand and walked towards Luo Haosong who was holding little Zhou Ying.

When they saw that the person coming was Lin Mowan, both the big and the small girl looked very happy. The little girl who was originally lying on Luo Haosong's shoulder raised her head and smiled at her.

"You know each other?" Luo Haosong was a little surprised: "I've never seen this little girl get so close to anyone other than my sister and Sister Sun."

Lin Mowan smiled, shook the rattle in her hand, and simply explained: "Qiao Niang and I have known each other for a long time."

"Oh, I see." Luo Haosong nodded with a smile.

The two of them were entertaining the child, and little Zhou Ying, who had just woken up and was a little depressed, also became cheerful, and the rattle in Lin Mowan's hand made a "dong dong" sound.

As she expected, it didn't take long before she attracted the attention of Gong Shu Tingyue who was frantically looking for someone.

The moment she saw the rattle, her anxious expression froze, and then she pushed through the crowd and rushed towards Lin Mowan. At this time, Lin Mowan had already caught a glimpse of the figure running towards her from the corner of her eye. She raised the corner of her mouth slightly, knowing that the other party had taken the bait, so she pretended not to notice and continued to tease little Zhou Ying with the rattle in her hand.

Suddenly, Gongshu Tingyue rushed over, grabbed Lin Mowan, snatched the rattle from her hand, and asked sternly: "How do you have this? How do you have this?!"

She roared and questioned Lin Mowan, but Lin Mowan just looked at her helplessly. At this time, her roar had attracted many people to look at her sideways.

Lin Mowan just looked at her without saying anything. The terrified expression on her face looked like she was frightened. Little Zhou Ying, who was standing next to her, had never seen such a scene before and burst into tears.

At this moment, the people who were originally far away were also attracted by the crying sound, and they all looked over to find out what was going on.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, facing the questioning of Gongshu Tingyue, Lin Mowan just shook her head for a long while, and said tremblingly: "I, I don't know what you are talking about, Madam, what's wrong with you?"

Her voice sounded trembling and so pitiful, but no one noticed the provocation that was only shown to Gongshu Tingyue. Although it was fleeting, it was still seen by Gongshu Tingyue who was staring at her closely.

Because of the flash of something in Lin Mowan's eyes, Gongshu Tingyue was certain that Lin Mowan wanted to take the opportunity to harm Jiang Youan. After all, she had never stopped suspecting Lin Mowan about Jiang Youxi's matter.

So, when her anger reached its peak, she had already forgotten the occasion, and without saying a word, she raised her hand and slapped Lin Mowan hard in the face.

There was a crisp "smack" sound, and Lin Mowan lost her balance and fell heavily to the ground, cursing, "Whore! Bitch! You hurt my son!"

She looked at Lin Mowan lying on the ground and wanted to strike her a second time, but her raised wrist was grabbed by a hand. Gongshu Tingyue was stunned and turned around to see Luo Haosong, who was frowning and looked unhappy.

"Madam Jiang, please be mindful of the occasion!" he said sternly. The palace maid beside him had already stepped forward and helped Lin Mowan, who had been slapped to the ground, up.

Lin Mowan covered her face and dodged to the side sobbingly, tears falling from her eyes. She wanted to say something but couldn't, her eyes were full of tears, and it was obvious that she had suffered a great injustice.

Facing everyone's gaze, she broke free from Luo Haosong's hand, picked up the rattle from the ground, and questioned Lin Mowan again: "This is obviously Youan's, how did you get it? If you hadn't killed him, how could this be in your hands! What did you do to my son?!"

For a moment, everyone turned their eyes to Lin Mowan, with a hint of caution and vigilance in their inquiring eyes.

Lin Mowan glanced at everyone with horror, crying and shaking her head, covering her face pitifully, crying: "I don't have it, I asked Yuzhi to buy it, I really don't know..."

As she spoke, she cried even harder.

At this moment, Yuzhi, who had gone to get some snacks, came back and happened to see this scene. She hurried forward and stuffed the snacks in her hand to the palace servant beside her. She quickly stepped forward to stop Lin Mowan behind her and glanced around in a puzzled manner: "What happened?"

Gongshu Tingyue no longer cared about his face and asked Lin Mowan frantically: "Where is my son?! Where is my son!! Lin Mowan, come to me if you have anything to say! Please let my son go! He is still so young!"

As she spoke, she began to cry bitterly and almost knelt down in front of Lin Mowan. However, Lin Mowan just covered her face and stood aside sobbing. She looked so helpless and panicked that anyone who saw her would think that she must be a young lady who had never experienced such a scene.

Just as the quarrel was getting heated, a loud shout from the crowd interrupted everyone's suspicion: "Your Majesty, Mr. Shen, and His Royal Highness Prince Guangning are back!"
