Marrying a Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the

Everyone began to search nearby, not daring to be careless at all.

About half an hour later, a secret guard suddenly found a tattered purse.

He hurriedly took it to Zhan Yan, and he recognized at a glance that it was the purse that Lin Xiaoruan made for Tang Mingxuan.

In other words, without a miracle, Tang Mingxuan and the young man in black fell into the swamp at the bottom of the cliff.

He closed his eyes tightly and suppressed the sadness in his heart.

He said hoarsely, "Let's go, go back and reunite with Commander Fang first!"

Everyone retreated, completely unaware that in the cave on the side of the cliff, the young man in black was staring at Tang Mingxuan with a sarcastic look on his face.

He taunted her, "Everyone who was looking for you has left. You're in dire straits now. Tang Mingxuan, why don't you kneel down and beg for mercy?"

Tang Mingxuan was tied up with ropes and his clothes were all scattered, looking in a miserable state.

He gritted his teeth and said, "You can kill me or chop me up as you please. I never regret anything I did before. Your mother and your uncles all deserve to die!"

"Snap!" The young man in black picked up the whip in his hand and whipped him directly on the face, instantly tearing his skin and flesh.

Even so, he was still not afraid. He even raised the corner of his lips provocatively: "Is this all you can do? Do you dare to beat me to death?"

The young man in black subconsciously wanted to raise his whip again, but suddenly guessed something and laughed: "You want to provoke me and make me kill you, right?"

Tang Mingxuan did not answer, obviously agreeing with his guess.

The young man in black said in a deep voice, "You caused me to not even see my mother for the last time. How could I let you die peacefully? I know everything about your life in the capital. You like a woman named Lin Xiaoruan?"

At first, Tang Mingxuan was still able to confront the young man in black, but when he heard him mention Lin Xiaoruan's name, his whole body trembled subconsciously.

He clenched his fists tightly and said, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. This is between you and me, and has nothing to do with her. Don't implicate the innocent!"

The young man in black said nonchalantly, "She is not innocent at all. If she hadn't come to Suzhou City, how could my mother's secret have been discovered? Tang Mingxuan, do you think I would let her go?"

He reached out and pinched Tang Mingxuan's wound, and the pain made him shiver all over.

Blood dripped onto the ground, but he seemed not to feel it. He only said in a trembling voice, "Aren't you trying to force me to kneel down and apologize? I'll kowtow to you now and beg you to let Lin Xiaoruan go. She has nothing to do with this matter!"

The young man in black smiled grimly: "It's too late, Tang Mingxuan, you will be able to reunite with her in this cave soon!"

Tang Mingxuan's heart sank to the bottom. After all, was he still unwilling to let Lin Xiaoruan go?

At this time in Shengjing, Lin Xiaoruan was making medicine for Princess Youyi when suddenly everything went dark before his eyes.

Just as the medicine bowl was about to fall to the ground, Lin Yiwan firmly held her wrist at the critical moment.

She asked worriedly, "Xiaoruan, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?"

Lin Xiaoruan also reacted, and she forced herself to speak: "Sister, I'm fine, it's probably because I didn't get enough rest last night!"

Lin Yiwan looked at her and saw that she didn't seem to be alright. She pulled her to sit on a chair next to her and said, "Don't hide it. Tell me what's going on. Do you treat me, your elder sister, as an outsider?"

Lin Xiaoruan subconsciously denied: "No, I!"

She wanted to say something but stopped herself, her eyes instantly turning red with grievance.

Lin Yiwan sighed helplessly: "Tang Mingxuan secretly ran away to Suzhou City, right?"

Lin Xiaoruan's eyes widened in astonishment: "Sister, how did you know?"

Lin Yiwan reached out and pinched her face: "I haven't seen him these past few days, do you think I can't guess?"

Lin Xiaoruan spoke nervously, "Sister, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hide it from you. It was Tang Mingxuan who wouldn't let me tell you. But I was really worried about him. I even had a nightmare last night. I dreamt he was saying goodbye to me, covered in blood!"

Lin Yiwan soothed him softly, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Dreams are the opposite of reality. I'll make you a bowl of soothing soup. Just drink it and have a good sleep!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Ling'er hurried in with a letter from outside.

She said anxiously: "Madam, the Marquis sent someone to deliver a secret letter to you!"

Lin Yiwan reached out to take it and subconsciously began to examine it.

In just a moment, her expression became extremely complicated and ugly, which made Lin Xiaoruan's heart hang in the air.

She asked nervously, "Sister, what did my brother-in-law say in the letter? Did he mention Mingxuan?"

Lin Yiwan quickly grabbed her wrist and said, "Xiaoruan, I want to tell you a piece of news. You must hold on!"

Lin Xiaoruan's body shook for a while. She had already guessed what the news would be.

She tried to calm down, gritted her teeth and said stubbornly: "Sister, you said, I am not afraid of any storm, no matter how big it is. Did something happen to Tang Mingxuan?"

Lin Yiwan nodded. "Yes, he was kidnapped and his whereabouts are unknown. However, I found the purse you made for him near a cliff!"

Lin Xiaoruan wanted to speak, but there was a buzzing sound in her ears.

She couldn't bear it any longer, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Lin Yiwan quickly gave her acupuncture and took her pulse, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief after confirming that she was just experiencing excessive emotional fluctuations.

Ling'er was distressed. She said worriedly, "Why is Mr. Tang so stubborn? Madam and the Marquis clearly told him not to go, but he went secretly anyway. Now that something unexpected has happened, how can Miss Xiaoruan bear it?"

Lin Yiwan glanced at her and said, "Stop talking. It's already happened. The most important thing now is to comfort Xiaoruan. He's just missing, not dead. We can't jump to conclusions before we find his body!"

In fact, she knew very well in her heart, she was just afraid that she would not survive.

She didn't tell Lin Xiaoruan that there was a swampy mud pool at the bottom of the cliff, and if anyone fell in, not even a body would be found.

The reason she hid it was because she wanted to give her hope.

If there is no hope, then living is like being a walking corpse.

As she was thinking this, Lin Xiaoruan suddenly opened her eyes.

She choked with sorrow: "Sister, I want to go to Suzhou City to find Tang Mingxuan in person!"

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but say, "Xiaoruan, you're extremely weak right now. How can you withstand the bumps on the road? Besides, your brother-in-law is sending people to look for clues about him. He won't give up, dead or alive!"

Tears rolled down Lin Xiaoruan's eyes. She never expected that their wedding night would be their final farewell.

If she had known the result would be like this, she should have hugged him again!

Lin Yiwan took a handkerchief to wipe her tears. She thought carefully and realized that if she knew that Zhan Yan was missing at this moment, she would definitely go to look for him, so she really shouldn't stop him.
