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

Chapter 148 I've been busy these days
Hearing this, Shen Junchi was stunned, as if he was weighing whether his words were credible. Funny to say, this was the first time he doubted Shen Weiyuan's words.

After a long while, seeing that Shen Weiyuan still looked normal, Shen Junchi was half-believing and half-doubting: "Why? Didn't you like him very much before?"

"She's too close to Uncle Bei Cheng." Shen Weiyuan said, "I don't like it."

This is indeed his style of doing things. He doesn't like anyone to get involved in his things. Shen Junchi didn't try again, but remained silent with a melancholy look on his face.

Shen Weiyuan casually picked up a book beside him and flipped through it, looking like he didn't care at all. He paused and said, "Besides, didn't my eldest brother also say that the mistress of the Shen family needs to be of equal status? It's just a joke, there's nothing to be serious about."

Shen Junchi looked at him with some surprise in his eyes. He didn't believe that he was sincere. They grew up together, and Shen Junchi knew him as well as he knew Shen Junchi.

Shen Junchi lowered his eyes and did not expose her. He had his own guess in his mind...

at this time.

Prime Minister’s Residence, Feiqing Courtyard.

After sending Bai Yun away, Jiang Yanran returned with the maid. Lin Mowan led her into the house. Before she sat down, she hurriedly said, "Sister, it was Madam Xiao who came to me herself. I am not familiar with her."

The two of them sat down, and Lin Mowan just smiled at her without blaming her. She only asked her, "What was the situation like when she came to see you?"

Listening to Lin Mowan's words, she roughly recalled and told the situation truthfully.

I heard that Bai Yun came in a very high profile. He was brought here by the Xiao family's carriage. After getting off the carriage, he went straight to Jiang Yanran when facing the people from the Jiang family who came to greet him.

The moment they saw Bai Yun, not only Jiang Yanran, but also Tong Yuhua were a little confused. Although they were in the Jiang family, generally speaking, they could not make close friends with people like Bai Yun, and naturally there was no reason for her to come to find him in person.

Sure enough, after carefully welcoming the person into the yard, she didn't even drink a sip of tea, and asked Jiang Yanran to take her to find Lin Mowan.

I think she only came to Lin Mowan for some unavoidable reasons, using the excuse of being friends with Jiang Yanran.

But Lin Mowan didn’t understand why she didn’t just come directly?

She was puzzled, but Jiang Yanran began to panic. "Sister," she called softly, pulling Lin Mowan back to her senses, and said, "Does she do this for some other purpose? I'm stupid and don't understand. Am I harming my sister by doing this?"

Lin Mowan looked at her anxious and flustered eyes, but the doubts in her heart never dissipated. But when she thought about it carefully, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with Bai Yun coming to deliver a message to her.

After a little thought, Lin Mowan could only smile and comfort her: "It's okay, maybe there are some difficulties, don't worry, I will take care of everything."

Jiang Yanran frowned, nodded, and said nothing more, but the fear and uneasiness on her face could not be dissipated for a long time, and she could only pinch the corner of her clothes nervously, like a child who had done something wrong. Lin Mowan didn't say much either. Although she knew that Bai Yun's move was not groundless, she thought about her previous reminder and had a guess that it was still related to Shen Weiyuan...

A few days later, it was deep winter and the weather was getting colder. After being released from house arrest, Gongshu Tingyue had become much more well-behaved and even humble.

In the past, I always looked at Lin Mowan with disdain, but this time she has learned her lesson and is just like the old lady, with a kind smile but a dagger hidden inside. However, she doesn't care about all these and still does what she has to do. Her life is relatively quiet.

Until one afternoon, when the weather was unusually clear and the sun melted the snow on the roadside, Lin Mowan asked people to move chairs and tables to the yard and check and supplement the parts of the account book that Xue Zhong had sent to her that had not been checked.

To be honest, she was able to get these thanks to Jiang Ruixue, the ignorant eldest lady. If it weren't for Gongshu Tingyue who spoiled her to such an ignorant state, she would not have had the opportunity to get the account book of Jiang's shop so quickly.

Ever since Gongshu Tingyue was put in solitary confinement, the old lady has been seriously ill. Not to mention reading the account books, it is even a problem whether her almost half-blind eyes can see the words clearly.

Jiang Yanran knew nothing and she brought the foolish Jiang Youan into the palace. Jiang Yanran also didn't understand any of this. As for Tong Yuhua, no one knew whether she understood or not. But when Xue Zhong came to her, she just made excuses saying that she couldn't see it.

Jiang Wenqing was too busy with court affairs to have time to ask about these things. Xue Zhong had to take care of it alone. The Jiang family's business was not small. There were more than a dozen tailor shops on the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest streets, as well as some wineries, banks, pharmacies and so on.

In the past, Xue Zhong only assisted Gongshu Tingyue, and Gongshu Tingyue was in charge of all the affairs in the shop. After the Jiang family became like this, there was really no one to take on such heavy responsibilities, and Jiang Wenqing also told him to figure it out on his own.

At this moment, Lin Mowan stood up and said that she was willing to give it a try. Unexpectedly, Xue Zhong didn't hold much hope, but he found that Lin Mowan did a very good job, so he handed everything over to her. He was only responsible for helping, just like before.

Everything was going well, but half a month after Gongshu Tingyue was released, she suddenly found Lin Mowan and asked her to return the power of head of the family to her.

Of course, his attitude was naturally humble and reasonable, and he used a negotiating tone throughout the whole process, but in fact, rather than saying it was a negotiation, he did not give Lin Mowan the opportunity to refuse.

As soon as she entered the yard, she greeted Lin Mowan who was sitting in the yard with a smile, and her eyes fell straight on Lin Mowan, as if she didn't care about the account book in her hand at all.

She was very excited: "Oh, Miss Lin is busy, it's really a bad omen that I come here." As she spoke, she walked up to Lin Mowan as if nothing had happened. Lin Mowan roughly guessed her purpose, but did not say it out loud. Instead, she slowly stood up to greet her.

Upon seeing this, Gongshu Tingyue greeted her warmly: "No need to be polite, sit down and talk." She sat next to Lin Mowan with a kind smile, as if they had really put aside their past grudges.

Her concerned eyes wandered over Lin Mowan for a moment, and she frowned, her eyes full of heartache. She held Lin Mowan's hand with pity, turned around and said to Aunt Cen behind her as if no one was around: "Look, you've lost weight. You must have been working so hard these days."

Lin Mowan smiled without saying anything, silently lowered her eyes, hiding the flash of sarcasm in her eyes, but Aunt Cen never noticed, just cooperating with Uncle Tingyue in acting: "Yes, these days, thanks to Miss Lin's management of the Jiang family, the Jiang family is not so sad."

After Nanny Cen finished speaking, Gongshu Tingyue turned around and looked at Lin Mowan with a look of heartache in his eyes.

When their eyes met, Lin Mowan smiled slightly: "It's okay, it's all part of my job, it's not hard work. Madam, why did you come to me? Did something happen?"
