Chapter 202: Coming with a Purpose
Lin Mowan still didn't care, as if she was completely unaware of Jiang Wenqing's mood swings. Like a normal father and daughter, she kept on giving instructions:

"Dad, the doctor said that you need to change your temper, otherwise it will not be conducive to your recovery."

"Don't get me wrong, I'm really worried about you. It's not a good sign that you refuse to take medicine."

"I'll ask Yuzhi to go to the kitchen and heat up another bowl. No matter what, you have to get better soon."

……

She was cleaning the stains on her body while saying these words. Her tone was full of tenderness, gentle as water, and calm as if it could drown a person. On the surface, it looked like a calm and beautiful abyss.

Jiang Wenqing gritted his teeth and lived a life full of fear. While Lin Mowan was talking, she had almost cleaned up the stains on her body. She turned around to look at the person on the bed again. Jiang Wenqing stared at her and almost fainted.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Lin Mowan put away her scary smile and looked towards the door: "What's the matter?"

"Miss Lin, Lord Guo is here to visit you." The voice of a maid was heard outside.

Lin Mowan seemed to be thinking about something, but she didn't notice Jiang Wenqing who suddenly calmed down on the bed beside her. He rolled his eyes, as if he was planning something carefully.

It was not until Lin Mowan ordered someone to come in, put him on the wheelchair, and push him out that he stopped making trouble for the first time.

Lin Mowan pushed him through the corridor and into the living room. From a distance, he saw Guo Yinli who was already waiting in the hall. He took the initiative to stand up and greet him. When his eyes fell on Jiang Wenqing in the wheelchair, he frowned with some pity.

"Miss Lin." He nodded slightly, and Lin Mowan nodded politely in return. His eyes fell back on the person in the wheelchair. He hesitated for several seconds and finally asked with concern: "Has Lord Jiang's condition improved recently?"

Lin Mowan lowered her eyes and glanced at the person in the wheelchair. Her eyes were filled with unconcealed sadness, but she sighed softly as if pretending to be strong, and replied, "It's still the same. Ever since he got sick, he has refused to take medicine."

Guo Yinli didn't say anything, but just frowned and looked at the person in the wheelchair thoughtfully. As his eyes moved, he seemed to be thinking about something seriously. His gaze moved back and forth for a while on the neatly dressed and clean person in the wheelchair. As soon as his eyes met Jiang Wenqing's pleading and desperate eyes, Guo Yinli was stunned.

Just before he could react, Lin Mowan interrupted him: "Master Guo?" Guo Yinli came back to his senses instantly and looked up at Lin Mowan. Lin Mowan said gently: "You have come from afar to visit my father. It is really thoughtful of you. Please sit down and talk."

As she spoke, she did not give Guo Yinli a chance to refuse, and turned back to the maid outside the door and said, "Go and make a pot of the new Biluochun tea that came in this year."

Turning back, she looked at Guo Yinli: "It's not a very good tea, but I hope you will do me a favor and give me a chance to thank you."

She had said this much, and Guo Yinli still had many questions in his mind, so he did not refuse. He agreed to Lin Mowan's words and stayed.

In the hall, tea was served quickly. In the harmonious atmosphere, Guo Yinli was still a little worried. Lin Mowan also saw that he came this time, probably not just to visit Jiang Wenqing. After all, since Gongshu Tingyue divorced him and Jiang Wenqing was suspected of marriage fraud, he was not only dismissed from his post and under surveillance, but also known that Lin Mowan was the child of Jiang Wenqing's original wife, and was a month older than Jiang Ruixue.

As time went by, the group of people who had once rushed to curry favor with the successful Prime Minister suddenly became silent. Naturally, they ran as far away as they could. No one wanted to have anything to do with him anymore.

Originally, if this matter had not been made public and only Gongshu Yanyu knew about it, then there was a high probability that under Gongshu Tingyue's insistence, Lin Mowan would have been executed, and this matter would have been completely buried under the heavy snow and would never see the light of day.

Fortunately, she had prevented this outcome in advance, and spread the notes with the truth across almost half of the imperial city. Even if there were doubts, even if not everyone believed it, under the influence of rumors, the relationship between the Jiang family and Lin Mowan would naturally become a hot topic of discussion among everyone.

If Gongshu Yanyu took action and executed Lin Mowan at this time, it would be tantamount to a guilty conscience, which would just confirm Lin Mowan's identity. In this way, it would inevitably arouse public indignation because of the royal family's protection of their shortcomings, and there would be no shortage of righteous people who would take the opportunity to use this as an excuse to revolt for the people.

Once the superficial balance of justice is broken, the people's previous beliefs and admiration will collapse. Lin Mowan's death will definitely become the fuse for an uprising by the forces lurking in the dark who are dissatisfied with Gongshu's family.

This may not be fatal to Gongshu's family, but it will definitely cause great damage to their vitality. At least now is not the time to expose those forces.

Nowadays, apart from Guo Yinli, there is probably no one else who is willing to step into the Jiang family’s gate.

Thinking of this, Lin Mowan calmly revealed a faint smile, without exposing it, but just looked down at the teacup in her hand thoughtfully.

As expected, not long after, Guo Yinli glanced at Jiang Wenqing who was in the wheelchair beside him. At this time, he had many questions in his mind and did not care about Jiang Wenqing's eyes asking for help. He just said: "Miss Lin, if it is convenient, can we talk alone?"

Lin Mowan paused as she shook the cup, her face showing some shock or surprise. Then, after she came to her senses, she glanced at Jiang Wenqing, who was unable to move, with suspicion and worry. But in fact, she had expected this in her heart and had been waiting for him to say this.

Guo Yinli's eyes darkened, and it was unknown what he was thinking. After a brief silence, he followed her meaning and said, "Just for a while, it won't be too long."

Hearing this, Lin Mowan stopped hesitating and nodded in agreement. She called the maid waiting outside into the house and pushed Jiang Wenqing, who was reluctant to leave, away.

As the people outside dispersed, Guo Yinli retracted his gaze, slowly exhaled a breath, and said, "Aren't you going to leave the Jiang family?"

Lin Mowan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and asked, "Sir, I finally got what I wanted, why should I leave?"

"..." Guo Yinli remained silent, but his brows furrowed even deeper. Even though Lin Mowan acted very naturally, she couldn't fool Guo Yinli at all. He didn't think he knew Lin Mowan very well, but he knew how tragic Lin Yirou's case was. Given Lin Mowan's personality, how could she only ask for this much?

After a slight hesitation, he turned around and glanced around to make sure there was no one else. Then he lowered his voice and asked sincerely, "What do you want? The position of the eldest daughter of the Jiang family? Or do you want to be implicated when you go against the royal family and your entire family is executed? Lin Mowan, don't be stubborn anymore. Think about your dead mother. She wouldn't want you to be like this either."
