Chapter 99: No Right or Wrong
But he didn't say anything. He just glanced at her with a warning look, then turned and left. Lin Mowan looked at him, and the fear in her eyes gradually disappeared.

Not long after, Wei Lin walked into the hall carrying the freshly-born Jiang Youan. Gongshu Tingyue had woken up at this time and learned the news that she was pregnant. The gloom just now seemed to disappear in an instant. She was surrounded by everyone and happily touched her belly.

Seeing Jiang Youan coming back, she quickly pushed through the crowd to greet him, holding her mentally retarded baby son and looking at him again and again, asking, "My dear son, how are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Jiang Youan seemed not to understand. He just blinked and stared at her, drooling and snot running down his face. Seeing everyone stepping back, Gongshu Tingyue patiently wiped his snot with the handkerchief in her hand.

Seeing that Jiang Youan didn't respond, she immediately asked, "Who was it? Tell mother, who hid you? Was it that little whore Lin Mowan?"

She grabbed Jiang Youan's shoulders, wanting to hear the answer she wanted from Jiang Youan, so as to confirm Lin Mowan's guilt and make Lin Mowan bear a vicious infamy, or even be charged with attempting to lure and kill a young child, and she would never be able to turn over a new leaf.

Unfortunately, Jiang Youan couldn't understand what she meant. He only knew that his mother was suddenly very fierce to him. He was so scared that he burst into tears and shouted, "Butterfly, Feifei, Butterfly, Feifei..."

Gongshu Tingyue was furious, but there was nothing he could do. Wei Lin, who had brought the child back, stepped forward and explained, "Your Majesty, Madam, the little boy was not taken away by Miss Lin. When I found him, he was alone under a tree in the hunting ground. I guess he was unattended and chased the butterflies that flew into the forest."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other again. Although no one said anything, their eyes full of sympathy fell on Lin Mowan who was standing aside. In the end, no one stood up to speak for Lin Mowan.

After all, even if Lin Mowan was an orphan rescued by Shen Weiyuan, she was just one of them. Shen Weiyuan would indeed protect her for this reason. It was because of Shen Weiyuan's face that everyone sympathized with her.

But Gongshu Tingyue is different. No matter how many wrong things she has done, as long as her surname is Gongshu, she will be able to speak with a straight neck. No matter what is right or wrong, everyone knows which side she should stand on.

Even Gongshu Yanyu just said, "Forget it. Since it's just a misunderstanding, don't mention it again. What do you think, Lord Shen?"

He turned to look at Shen Weiyuan, and everyone looked over there. Shen Weiyuan was silent for a moment, and had no choice but to look at Lin Mowan with complicated eyes: "Then follow your Majesty's words."

This result seemed to be within Lin Mowan's expectations. Just as Shen Weiyuan himself said, they should not get too close in any public occasion, lest someone discover their relationship.

Naturally, Lin Mowan could only nod and agree.

This farce ended with such an absurd result. After this incident, everything that happened next seemed boring. First there was the archery competition, and then the horse racing. Lin Mowan just sat in the audience and watched, with no expression of sadness or joy on her face.

In fact, she didn't care much about the final outcome of this matter. Anyway, her goal had been achieved, letting everyone see Gongshu Tingyue's true face clearly. But the thought of accidentally discovering that she was pregnant made her feel very uncomfortable.

Just thinking about it made her feel uncomfortable. What came to her mind were the scenes of her mother touching her belly countless times and looking forward to the future with her.

It's a pity that accidents always come so suddenly. She could have been very happy. Even if she could never recognize Jiang Wenqing again, she would not feel dissatisfied.

But now, how can they forget all the sins they committed, live in peace, and lead the life they want, while her mother will sleep in the cold ground with her unborn brother. She has to endure the heart-wrenching pain every time she thinks of what happened that night in her dreams, as if it happened yesterday, so clear, so unforgettable, and the grief in her memory turns into a headache bit by bit, torturing her so much that she wants to hit her head against the wall and die every time.

As if by magic, while everyone was watching the princes and nobles playing polo, Lin Mowan followed Gong Shu Tingyue, who left the game halfway, to a corner.

Seeing her vomiting while holding onto the wall, Lin Mowan just stood in the corner and didn't come forward, just watched with a dim gaze. When Gongshu Tingyue finished vomiting and turned around, she just happened to see her. Gongshu Tingyue was so scared that he screamed and backed away repeatedly, stopping only when his back was against the wall.

She gasped, looking at the person in front of her with a frightened look, and there was a hint of guilt in her vigilance, probably because of what had just happened.

Their eyes met, perhaps because Lin Mowan's eyes were too gloomy, Gongshu Tingyue couldn't help but shiver. She was a little scared, but when she heard the cheers coming from not far away, she felt a little more at ease. Perhaps she didn't believe that Lin Mowan dared to do anything to her at such a close distance.

Thinking of this, Gongshu Tingyue calmed down and said, "What are you doing? Didn't I apologize to you for what happened just now? What else do you want? Don't give up on me!"

Hearing her harsh and vicious words, Lin Mowan's expression did not change much, but the dagger hidden in her sleeve was already ready, and there was a voice in her mind urging her: "Kill her."

"Kill her!"

"Kill her!!"

"Just kill her and everything will be over!"

The voice became more and more manic and anxious, like a demon that was about to break out of the flesh, tear apart the gentle appearance, break free from the shackles, pounce on Gong Shu Tingyue in front of him, and tear him to pieces.

Lin Mowan's hand holding the dagger in her sleeve tightened little by little until it trembled slightly. At this moment, a familiar voice sounded outside: "Awan."

Lin Mowan's hand that was tightly gripping the dagger paused for an instant. She knew without turning around that the voice was from Luo Qiao Niang.

She just stood not far away and called Lin Mowan in a low voice, but did not come forward. Lin Mowan seemed to be pulled back to the main god in an instant, and the coldness in her eyes melted away little by little.

Then, she slowly walked towards Gongshu Tingyue.

Gongshu Tingyue leaned against the wall, staring at Lin Mowan who was approaching with some fear, but Lin Mowan didn't care. Instead, a smile gradually appeared in her frightened eyes.

Just when she was puzzled, Lin Mowan smiled gently and stretched out her hand carefully. Before she could react, Lin Mowan's hand was already on Gongshu Tingyue's belly. Her movements were light and gentle, as if she really treated the unborn child in her belly as a relative.
