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

Chapter 204 Hug Me

Seeing the person in front of her crying, the Queen Mother touched Gongshu Tingyue's cheek distressedly, wiped away the tears on her cheek, and hurriedly whispered to comfort her: "Good child, don't cry. Your Majesty has his own affairs for the Jiang family. This is related to the face of the royal family. This matter is not a joke."

Seeing that the Queen Mother would not help him, Gongshu Tingyue cried even harder, and then he lay in the Queen Mother's arms, not saying anything more, as if he had accepted his fate. He cried until his body was shaking slightly, and he was heartbroken...

A few days later, as everyone expected, the verdict on Jiang Wenqing's marriage fraud came down. Jiang Wenqing was the only one to be punished, imprisoned and executed, and the rest of his family members were sold.

Before the imperial edict of imprisonment came down, it had already reached the Jiang family. In Tong Yuhua's yard, she almost fell to the ground with her eyes black.

She didn't expect that by helping Lin Mowan pass on the message, she would indirectly harm herself and her daughter. At this moment, she suddenly began to regret it.

No matter what, she accepted that Lin Mowan wanted her dead, but Jiang Yanran was still her biological sister after all, how could Lin Mowan be so cruel?
Tong Yuhua's eyes almost went black, and she fell backwards. Jiang Yanran was quick to catch her, shouting "Second Aunt" in panic.

Lin Mowan happened to see this scene when she entered the room. She stepped into the entrance hall and just stood there watching calmly. Then she signaled the maid beside her to come forward, and several people helped Tong Yuhua onto the bed together.

Jiang Yanran sat worriedly beside the bed with a nervous look on her face. Lin Mowan dismissed everyone and then slowly walked forward and sat on the other side. She raised her hand to check her pulse and found that she had indeed just fainted.

"She's fine." Lin Mowan said.

Jiang Yanran didn't respond. She would never feel at ease if she didn't see the person wake up.

Lin Mowan looked at Jiang Yanran who was carefully wiping Tong Yuhua's face with a hot towel. She was absent-minded and a trace of envy and longing flashed in her eyes.

Not long after, the unconscious Tong Yuhua slowly woke up. The first thing she saw was Jiang Yanran beside her. She held Jiang Yanran's hand with heartache and was about to say something, but she caught a glimpse of Lin Mowan out of the corner of her eye.

Tong Yuhua's face changed. She was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She struggled to get up. When she saw her wake up, Lin Mowan's expression had already returned to its original indifference.

"Have you heard about the verdict on the Jiang family?" Tong Yuhua asked, her tone heavy and with a hint of anticipation.

Hearing this, Lin Mowan just lowered her eyes and spoke naturally: "I heard that except Jiang Wenqing, everyone else was sold out."

Seeing that she could still be so calm, Tong Yuhua's heart seemed to be torn apart. She held Jiang Yanran's hand tightly, and her hands could not help but tremble. She did all this just to find a way for Jiang Yanran to survive.

She can, but her daughter must live well, live a long and worry-free life.

She said: "Ms. Lin, you promised me. I don't have any ability and can't make my own decision. My only hope is that Yanran will not suffer."

Lin Mowan didn't say anything, but just looked at her steadily. In a trance, it seemed that she was not looking at her, but looking at another person through her.

After a long while, Lin Mowan said, "Okay."

Tong Yuhua didn't understand what she meant. What was okay?
She then said, "Hold me."

"..." Tong Yuhua was stunned for a moment after hearing Lin Mowan's words. For a moment, she even thought she was hallucinating, but when she met Lin Mowan's serious eyes, she seemed to have not heard wrong.

Tong Yuhua nodded in confusion at Lin Mowan's request, as if she couldn't believe that helping them escape was so simple. After getting the answer, Lin Mowan didn't hesitate. She slowly stood up, sat on the bed, and gently hugged the person sitting on the bed.

But it would be more accurate to say that he was snuggling into her arms rather than hugging the person on the bed, just like a child who is tired of playing and snuggles into his mother's arms to find a sense of security.

She hugged Tong Yuhua and leaned lightly on her neck. Suddenly, her nose felt sore and her eyes seemed to become slightly moist.

Lin Mowan couldn't help but think: If her mother were still alive, she would stand up to protect her again. It feels so good to have a mother...

She closed her eyes and couldn't help sobbing. She tried hard to recall her mother's appearance in her mind and imagined that the person in front of her was Lin Yirou.

Tong Yuhua was a little at a loss, and Jiang Yanran just sat there blankly.

After a long time, Lin Mowan slowly stood up. When she opened her eyes again, the unwillingness and hurt in her eyes had been replaced by her previous indifference and calmness.

Before the remaining two came to their senses, Lin Mowan's slightly cold voice rang out: "I can help you, but the condition is that you have to give up your current identity, status, and abundant food and clothing."

Upon hearing this, the mother and daughter instantly came back to their senses from their previous shock. After listening to Lin Mowan's words, the two looked at each other.

In fact, to be honest, compared to what they have now, they would rather live a simple life with plain food and drink.

So, the mother and daughter nodded without hesitation...

Deng Yu and his men brought the imperial edict. The Jiang family members were gathered together. Even Jiang Wenqing, who was paralyzed due to a stroke, was pushed in a wheelchair.

But Deng Yu glanced at the maids and servants kneeling on the ground, frowned suspiciously, and asked: "Miss Lin, if I remember correctly, there is a second concubine and a second young lady in your house."

Ever since Jiang Wenqing's marriage fraud was made public, and Gongshu Tingyue and his wife divorced under Gongshu Yanyu's interference, Jiang Ruixue was naturally taken away by Gongshu Tingyue.

Therefore, in the Jiang family now, apart from the paralyzed Jiang Wenqing, there are only Lin Mowan, and Tong Yuhua and her daughter. It is indeed a bit deserted, and one can tell who is absent at a glance.

Lin Mowan seemed dazed for a moment when she heard this. She slowly raised her head with a look of sadness in her eyes. "Yes, but they are already dead."

Upon hearing this, not only Deng Yu, but even Jiang Wenqing in the wheelchair beside them was stunned for a moment, their eyes full of disbelief, and they struggled hard to turn their heads to look at Lin Mowan.

Lin Mowan behaved very calmly, even a little sad. But Deng Yu worked in the palace after all, and he had seen all kinds of conspiracies. He still had some doubts about Lin Mowan's words, after all, words were not enough.

Lin Mowan was of course aware of his concerns. She raised her hand to wipe away the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "If you don't believe me, you can go with me to the courtyard to take a look. The bodies of the Second Aunt and Second Sister are still in the courtyard. They haven't been sent out yet."

Deng Yu was a little hesitant, but he thought that if he didn't confirm that the person was dead, and he went back like this, if something unexpected happened, he would definitely be blamed in the end. Losing his official position was a small matter, but losing the heads of his buddies and their families was a big matter.

After thinking for a while, he nodded, and finally Lin Mowan led the way and took Deng Yu all the way to Tong Yuhua's yard.

Before approaching the yard, he heard intermittent crying sounds coming from afar. Deng Yu frowned involuntarily, but Lin Mowan looked like nothing happened, as if she didn't hear it.
