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

Chapter 220 The Secret That Wasn't Asked
He joked nonchalantly, "It seems that Miss Lin really cares about this matter. However, your current status is different from before. Have you ever considered choosing another good man?"

When he said this, his tone was light and casual, just like when he was chatting with someone he was very familiar with.

Lin Mowan looked at him, thinking quickly in her mind, pretending to be indifferent and chuckling, and replied: "I'm not asking this for what you think. I just want to know who I am."

Shen Junchi knew that what she said might have a reason, but more importantly, it was definitely about the issue of "Hua Rong".

Rather than wanting to know who she is, it would be more accurate to say that she wants to know whether she and Hua Rong are the same person.

Lin Mowan didn't say it explicitly, but looking at Shen Junchi's expression, he obviously understood it. However, he shook his head and pretended to be dumbfounded: "I don't understand what the girl means."

Lin Mowan's eyes were deep, with a hint of murderous intent. If she had only suspected before, now she was very sure that the part of her memory that she was missing must be related to the Shen family.

Therefore, the people who deceived her were not only Gongshu Beicheng, but also perhaps the Shen family.

After a long silence, Shen Junchi chuckled, controlled the remaining wheelchair and turned to leave, leaving only one sentence: "You don't want to know about the past, Miss Lin, just be a good Miss Lin."

He left, as calmly as usual, even with a hint of mockery towards the people behind him.

Lin Mowan frowned, and the ridiculous guess in her mind once again emerged - maybe she was Hua Rong!

But she didn't understand. Everyone said that she was dead. From the beginning, Shen Weiyuan never confessed to her, and she didn't dare to ask. What if the result was something she didn't want to hear?

If death was a lie, then she could probably guess the purpose of the Shen family's lie. They did not want "Hua Rong" and Shen Weiyuan to be together, even if she was a concubine, they would not allow it.

The only reason that could prompt all this is that they knew everything about her past from the very beginning. For a person like Shen Weiyuan, anything related to him must not have any stain, and the Lin family's unjust imprisonment led to Lin Mowan becoming a criminal.

If that's the case, then everything seems to make sense.

After returning to the banquet from the bamboo forest, Lin Mowan was a little dazed. She lowered her eyes and suddenly a dark shadow appeared in front of her. She subconsciously stopped and looked up slightly. The person standing in front of her was Shen Weiyuan.

Their eyes met, and he frowned, looking worried: "Are you okay?" Obviously, he asked this because he saw her leaving with Shen Junchi.

Lin Mowan didn't answer, but looked at him with hope and trembling eyes. After calming herself down, she gritted her teeth and decided to ask, "Shen Weiyuan, am I..."

"Ayuan."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted unexpectedly by a familiar voice. As expected, it was Shen Junchi.

Shen Weiyuan and Lin Mowan turned their heads to look over almost at the same time, and Shen Junchi was calm as if he had no idea what was going on. But Lin Mowan knew very well that he must have known and did it on purpose.

He didn't look at Lin Mowan, or even glance at her, but just looked at Shen Weiyuan with a smile. Before Shen Weiyuan could ask, Shen Junchi spoke first: "Mr. He invites you to come over. There is something important to discuss."

Shen Weiyuan thought for a moment, then nodded. He turned back to look at Lin Mowan with an apologetic look in his eyes: "Sorry, we'll talk later."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Lin Mowan standing there. He did not try to persuade her to stay. She knew that compared to this, business was more important. Watching Shen Weiyuan walk away, Lin Mowan felt a burning sensation. She subconsciously looked back and met the smiling eyes. She couldn't help but droop her eyes. It was Shen Junchi.

He looked at Lin Mowan with a gentle smile that did not reach his eyes. He just stared at her for a long time, as if it was a warning, or a second mockery, but in the end he said nothing and turned away.

Lin Mowan stood there, feeling complicated, but she could only resist the urge to rush over and stop them...

Until the end of the banquet, Lin Mowan didn't find Shen Weiyuan's free time to have a good talk with him.

On the way back, she kept thinking about that incident and was in a bad mood. She was not angry about Shen Weiyuan's sudden departure, but was annoyed by Shen Junchi's attitude.

His attitude clearly explained everything. They must have known each other before, and the memory that she had not yet recovered must be about the Shen family.

For a long time afterwards, she didn't see Shen Weiyuan and Shen Junchi again. They seemed to be busy consolidating their own territories.

It is not easy to enclose land and become a king, not to mention that one has to be on guard against the people of Gongshu's family, which is even more difficult.

It was not until winter came that the weather gradually became colder and charcoal was burned in the house. Although it did not snow, the occasional gusts of cold wind still made people feel a little bit chilly.

I heard from Lin Qinhai that now, with Huoan City as the center, wherever the Shen family army goes, they have almost occupied half of Rong State. At this rate, if everything goes well, within a year, they will be able to completely pull the Gongshu family out of that position.

Lin Mowan was naturally happy for him, but at the same time, she was also very aware that the distance between them was slowly widening. Unconsciously, it was as if there were many torrents between them...

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, and Lin Mowan received an invitation to attend the banquet with the Lin family.

Unlike Madam Lin who was chatting animatedly with the ladies in the circle, Lin Mowan was just sitting in a corner in a daze. In fact, she had no expectations for this banquet.

Perhaps because she had been too busy in the past few months, she hadn't seen Shen Weiyuan for a long time. Lin Qinhai was still very satisfied with this.

Mrs. Lin, on the other hand, moved around in various circles of noble ladies, asking around for the young men of various families. If she thought someone was suitable, she would have their portrait painted and sent back for Lin Mowan to choose.

To be honest, every time she looked at these elegant gentlemen, she just felt a headache. In fact, she couldn't concentrate on them at all. Every time she just waved a knife in front of her eyes and then backed away.

Mrs. Lin did not rebuke her for being picky, but said sincerely: "It doesn't matter, if you don't like it, then don't be picky. Just look at it for fun, it won't cause any trouble."

Every time this happened, Lin Mowan felt somewhat guilty. She understood that the Lin family cared a lot about her affairs, but she really seemed to have no interest in anything.

Ever since all the members of the Jiang family died, she seemed to have difficulty being too obsessed with anything. After the nightmare that had troubled her since childhood was completely eradicated, she didn't know how to live a good life.

"Miss Lin," Lin Mowan was distracted when a figure suddenly squatted down in front of her. Lin Mowan's thoughts came back instantly. She looked up and met his gaze. It was a handsome young man. He raised the wine glass in his hand: "How about giving me a drink?"

Lin Mowan was a little suspicious. She didn't know the young man in front of her. She subconsciously turned her head to look for something, but soon she met a pair of bright golden eyes among a group of noble ladies.
