Chapter 164 Take this medicine and you will be fine

"you you you!!"

The old lady stared with her eyes wide open, as if her eyeballs were about to pop out, and a whimpering sound came from her throat. She wanted to speak, to curse, to ask for clarification, but even if she used all her strength, she was unable to move, and her eyes were filled with despair and fear.

Lin Mowan was extremely satisfied with this. She slowly pushed aside the old lady's dry hand, took out a pill, and said, "Grandma, this is the medicine I specially asked for for you. You must be in great pain now. Take this medicine and you will be fine, really."

As she spoke, she was about to stuff the medicine in her hand into the old lady's mouth with a smile on her face. Although she was terminally ill and had not much time left to live, she was also smart. After seeing Lin Mowan's expression, she naturally refused to take the medicine.

She was so angry that her mouth twisted, she stared with her eyes and whimpered in protest, but she couldn't make a sound. She struggled hard and pushed Lin Mowan's hand away with trembling hands.

Lin Mowan's hand that was feeding the medicine shifted, and the old lady gasped and glared at her as if she wanted to cut her into pieces, but Lin Mowan still seemed to see nothing, just smiled indifferently, pinched her face with one hand, forcibly pried her jaw open, and forced the pill into her mouth with the other hand, covering her mouth, and feeling her difficulty swallowing, she slowly let go, revealing a satisfied smile.

She stared at Lin Mowan in horror, looking even more uncomfortable and unable to make a sound than before. Lin Mowan smiled and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, just take a nap, it won't hurt much."

She stared with her dead eyes and tried hard to regulate her breathing. She wanted to survive so badly. How could she swallow this before she saw the birth of the heir to the Jiang family?

She used up her last bit of strength to grab Lin Mowan's sleeve, trembling, longing, and trying desperately to breathe, but the effect of the drug gradually took effect. Lin Mowan didn't say a word from beginning to end, just looked at her with a smile.

Finally, her gradually dilating pupils were filled with fear that could no longer be expressed and Lin Mowan's creepy smile.

She died, staring, and grew.

After confirming that she was really dead, Lin Mowan slowly pulled her sleeve out of her hand. Looking at the person who was still not completely cold, she just turned her eyes away lightly, as if looking at something unimportant, and then stood up and left...

The next morning, as expected, Lin Mowan was still dressing up when she heard a faint noise coming from outside. It was the maids and servants in the yard walking past quickly, discussing something.

Lin Mowan lowered her eyes, thinking about something in her heart. She had already guessed something. After thinking for a while, she raised her eyes slightly and looked through the mirror at Yuzhi who was cleaning the table behind her. Then she turned back and looked at her: "Yuzhi, what's the quarrel outside?"

Upon hearing this, Yuzhi looked back at the door in confusion, thought for a while, and shook her head. She had been busy in the house since before dawn this morning, so naturally she had no idea what was going on outside.

She put down the book in her hand, stood up and said, "I'll go out and take a look."

Lin Mowan did not stop her and watched her walk out of the room.

The door opened and closed, Lin Mowan turned around and continued to comb her hair. Not long after, the tightly closed door was pushed open by Yuzhi. She almost trotted into the room, the surprise on her face almost unconcealable.

"what happened?"

Seeing her walking towards her mysteriously, Lin Mowan was a little puzzled. Yuzhi looked gossipy and leaned over to whisper something in her ear. Lin Mowan listened and her eyes suddenly dimmed.

At an angle that no one else could see, she slowly raised the corners of her lips, but when she turned around, she pretended to be confused and surprised and asked, "Is it true? Have you asked someone to verify it? Don't talk nonsense about such things."

Facing Lin Mowan's questioning, Yuzhi looked sincere and assured: "Don't worry, young lady, it's absolutely true. I heard that the mourning hall has been set up, and the news is flying everywhere. All the dignitaries in the city have been invited." Lin Mowan nodded and did not respond. Yuzhi continued: "It is said that this morning, when the maid went to deliver medicine, she saw people lying on the ground in Hongbao Courtyard. Only then did she know that something had happened. When she went in to take a look, everyone was stiff. It was so creepy."

Listening to the chatter in her ears, Lin Mowan, as usual, did not reject it. She just let her talk and looked fixedly at her face in the mirror, which looked pretty good.

She slowly let out a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, pack up and let's go and pay our respects."

Upon hearing this, Yuzhi's expression of regret froze slightly. In fact, she really wanted to persuade Lin Mowan not to go. After all, the Jiang family was not kind to her on the surface. In fact, if it weren't for Shen Weiyuan's help, Lin Mowan would have been in great poverty these days since she was recognized.

But think about it, if I really don't go, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand the gossip. Just as Yuzhi thought, even if I didn't take any practical action, at least I did a good job on the surface.

If Lin Mowan doesn't go, she would be an ungrateful person and who knows how she will be framed in the future.

Thinking of this, Yuzhi could only sigh helplessly and turned to leave. However, Lin Mowan seemed to suddenly think of something and quickly stopped her. Yuzhi looked back at the person sitting in front of the dressing table suspiciously.

After a moment's hesitation, Lin Mowan asked, "When will the Second Master go?"

Yuzhi thought for a moment and replied, "I heard that we will wait until the day of the old lady's official funeral. The Second Master has been very busy recently, but the Jiang family and the Shen family are friends, so he will not miss the trip."

Lin Mowan nodded and didn't ask any more questions. She just waved her hand and sent the person away.

This is very good, at least she won't meet Shen Weiyuan now. If Shen Weiyuan is here, it will be difficult for her to perform well. After all, Shen Weiyuan is such a oppressive person just by standing wherever he goes, and neither she nor Jiang Wenqing can move freely.

Only when he is not around can she properly inspect her own achievements.

She looked at herself in the mirror. Her clothes in Haitang's colors looked a little too gaudy and didn't seem to be suitable for that occasion. After thinking for a moment, she asked someone to bring her a set of plain white clothes and changed her makeup and hair accessories.

He looked around and made sure that no one could find fault with him, then he took Yuzhi out with satisfaction.

In fact, she doesn't often wear such plain white. Shen Weiyuan doesn't like it. After all, he is her financial sponsor, so of course she has to try her best to satisfy his requests.

She herself didn't have any particular favorite color. Generally speaking, the maids in the shop would measure her size and Shen Weiyuan would choose. Although she would always ask for her opinion, she would not refuse if Shen Weiyuan thought it was good.

Since Shen Weiyuan didn't like it, she naturally wore less.

When Lin Mowan brought Yuzhi to the Jiang family and stood outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, looking at the white lanterns on both sides and the solemn white silk, Lin Mowan glanced at Yuzhi beside her.

The master and servant looked at each other. After a brief exchange of glances, Lin Mowan quickly adjusted her mood and blinked hard, letting her eyes gradually become moist.

Supported by Yuzhi, she pretended to walk up the stairs with difficulty. The old lady had passed away, and many people came to pay their respects. After all, she was once given an imperial edict by the late emperor, so the servant in front of the door did not stop them.
