Chapter 210 Do you like roses?
This was obviously Gongshu Tingyue's backup plan. She had long been certain that it must be related to Lin Mowan, otherwise, she would not dare to make such a big fuss.

But she had to be on guard to avoid losing the initiative if she failed to find the person, so she had to take the initiative and bring Lin Mowan to her own territory.

I thought she would refuse, but Lin Mowan smiled and nodded again: "Okay, it just so happens that the princess and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and we do have a lot to talk about."

Deng Yu looked at her, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He really couldn't figure out what this person in front of him was thinking. In his eyes, Lin Mowan might be weak, but she was definitely not stupid. It was impossible for her not to see Gong Shu Tingyue's purpose.

Lin Mowan didn't care about his scrutiny. She just smiled innocently and even tilted her head to ask him, "Sir, when are we leaving?"

Deng Yu hesitated and was silent for a moment before nodding: "Now."

Lin Mowan had no objection, but seemed to suddenly think of something and said in a difficult tone: "Can I take my rose with me?"

Deng Yu was puzzled: "Why?"

Lin Mowan still smiled gently and romantically: "I kept this book and wanted to give it to the princess. After all, she took good care of me when I was in the Jiang family. I also want to give her a gift. She will like it."

Seeing her eyes full of joy and anticipation, Deng Yu frowned and wanted to tell her that Gongshu Tingyue would not like anything she sent, but he opened his mouth and ultimately couldn't say it.

After all, this matter had nothing to do with him. He was just following orders and didn't want to get involved, so he just nodded: "Of course."

"Thank you, sir."

As Lin Mowan spoke, she personally picked up the potted plant and followed Deng Yu out of the house. Even when getting on the carriage, she held it herself and would never give it to anyone else.

The carriage was moving slowly on the road leaving the imperial city. Lin Qinhai and Lin Tianxiao stood outside the mansion, looking at the direction where the carriage disappeared, and did not leave for a long time.

Lin Tianxiao couldn't hold it in any longer first. He glanced at Lin Qinhai who was as steady as an old dog. He scratched the back of his head irritably and said, "If it weren't for Dad, would we really let her go alone? What if something bad happened..."

He didn't finish his speech, but just looked at Lin Qinhai nervously. Lin Qinhai didn't say anything, frowned and looked away, his eyes swept across the second floor of the shop not far away. A dark shadow noticed Lin Qinhai's sight and quietly dodged away...

Lin Qinhai lowered his eyes, obviously still a little worried, but the words that came out were: "Don't worry, we are not the only ones who are worried."

He didn't explain what he meant, and turned around and went back to the house, leaving Lin Tianxiao with a puzzled look on his face. Lin Tianxiao stood there, thinking about Lin Qinhai's words...

Soon, the carriage slowly stopped outside the secret manor.

Lin Mowan got off the carriage and looked at the farm that almost blended into the mountains and rivers, with a hint of undisguised shock in her eyes.

He is indeed a member of the royal family. Even the place where he is imprisoned is so extraordinary. How can he reflect on his mistakes? It is obvious that he came here to live a peaceful life away from the world.

Lin Mowan held Yueji in her arms and followed the maid who led the way, walking along the wooden road built between the mountains and rivers, all the way to a quiet courtyard.

She saw a familiar person, Aunt Cen. As usual, she greeted her warmly and smiled as if nothing had happened: "Aunt, long time no see."

Lin Mowan seemed to be in a good mood. Aunt Cen didn't say anything, but just glanced at the person in front of her with a puzzled look, and turned away coldly. Lin Mowan didn't get angry either, and followed her obediently. When she walked into the house, a faint sandalwood scent came towards her.

The room is very spacious. Outside the large floor-to-ceiling window is a small waterfall with moderate flow. It is a natural waterfall surrounded by wild trees and haystacks. The water flows together to form a small pit in the open space outside the window.

Gongshu Tingyue was standing in front of the window, scattering fish food into the small pit. The small fish in the pit were happily scrambling for the food, jumping out of the water from time to time.

Nanny Cen didn't inform anyone, she just led Lin Mowan in and left. Gongshu Tingyue just continued to feed the fish with a calm expression.

Lin Mowan didn't care about the other party's indifference. She put the rose in her hand on the table and began to tidy up the leaves and petals that she accidentally scratched along the way.

Until Gongshu Tingyue couldn't bear it anymore, she turned around and stared at Lin Mowan with a gloomy look. Lin Mowan seemed to have noticed something and turned around to look at her.

Their eyes met. At this moment, neither of them concealed their true feelings. Gong Shutingyue took the initiative and asked, "Where is Jiang Wenqing?"

Lin Mowan chuckled and asked her a question that was not related to the question: "The princess is really infatuated. She must be with him. What's so good about him?"

She really didn't understand, but Gongshu Tingyue just thought she was speaking up for her mother. Gongshu Tingyue sneered and would not fall into the trap of self-proof. Instead, he said, "Lin Mowan, since you know everything about me, you should also know my methods. If you don't hand the person over, I will make sure that you all die miserably."

When she said this, the previous roar disappeared, replaced by unprecedented calmness.

But so what? Lin Mowan was calmer than her. She ignored Gongshu Tingyue's questioning and threats, and asked her on her own: "Does the princess like roses?"

"..."

Gongshu Tingyue didn't say anything. To be more precise, she was left speechless by Lin Mowan's crazy, incoherent and illogical words. She didn't know what to say.

Seeing that Gongshu Tingyue was silent, Lin Mowan looked a little sad, but soon she smiled. She picked up the rose on the table, walked to Gongshu Tingyue, and handed the flower pot to her: "How beautiful, Princess, you hold it."

Perhaps it was this inexplicable action that made Gong Shu Tingyue confused and at the same time felt that she was being provoked. She took a few steps back, suppressed the sudden panic in her heart, gritted her teeth, and shouted angrily: "Madman!"

Then she raised her hand and violently knocked over the flowerpot that Lin Mowan handed over to her. There was a sound of porcelain breaking, and the rose was knocked over, and the soil in which the rose was planted also fell to the ground, scattered all over the floor.

But soon, Gongshu Tingyue discovered something wrong. Most of the soil was white ashes, and there were even some broken bones.

She was startled, screamed, and stepped back violently, barely stopping when her back hit the wall. She suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, and she looked at Lin Mowan with trembling lips, pointing at the ashes on the ground and asked: "What is this?"

Lin Mowan looked at her without saying anything. Perhaps when she asked the question, she already had the answer in her heart, but she had never heard Lin Mowan say it out loud, so she always held on to a glimmer of hope and fantasy.

"I'm asking you what this is!" Seeing that Lin Mowan was slow to speak, Gong Shu Tingyue yelled anxiously.

Lin Mowan slowly smiled and replied, "Doesn't the princess like him the most? I thought the princess would like it if I used him to plant roses."

As she spoke, her eyes were full of innocence and regret. Gongshu Tingyue staggered a few steps, but still seemed like he had not recovered from Lin Mowan's words.
