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

Zhan Miao looked at him in shock. "How can you be so shameless as the current Shangshu? It's obviously your fault for not running the government properly, and something went wrong, causing the emperor to be injured. But you put all the blame on me. What's the matter? Do you think I'm easy to bully because my parents didn't come with me?"

Seeing her little mouth opening and closing, Minister Chen felt as if his brain suddenly exploded. This girl raised in the mansion of Marquis Zhan Yi was really good at talking.

She pushed the responsibility back in a few words and refused to acknowledge the emperor's kindness in saving her at the risk of his own life.

Xiao Ling also felt that something was wrong. His original intention was for Zhan Miao to accept his life-saving grace.

But she insisted on implicating the Chen family!

It really made him feel a little embarrassed.

Just when the atmosphere was at a stalemate, the voice of the eunuch came from outside: "The Marquis's wife is here!"

Zhan Miao seemed to have found her true love. She quickly ran out to greet him, "Mother, you're here! Your precious daughter is being bullied to death!"

Lin Yiwan's face immediately darkened: "Who dares to bully you?"

Minister Chen stepped forward tremblingly to explain, "Madam Hou, it's all a misunderstanding. No one is bullying Miss Zhan!"

Zhan Miao retorted: "You are talking nonsense. Didn't you just say that the emperor was bitten by a poisonous snake in order to save me and asked me to take care of him personally?"

Lin Yiwan frowned and looked at Xiao Ling: "Is the injury serious?"

Xiao Ling felt inexplicably guilty. He lowered his eyes and said, "No, it's not too heavy!"

Lin Yiwan stepped forward to examine it carefully, and after a moment, she said in a deep voice, "You said it wasn't serious, but the poison has already invaded your blood vessels and nerves. Fortunately, you took the antidote in time, otherwise, your body would be cold by now!"

Xiao Ling's heart started beating wildly when he heard her words.

He was a little unsure of what Lin Yiwan meant. Was she worried about him?

Before he could figure it out, she quickly said, "Come here, report to the Dali Temple and tell them that someone from the Chen family in the Minister of Revenue's mansion is plotting to murder the emperor. Tell them to come and arrest the real culprit!"

Minister Chen turned pale with fear. He denied it hastily, "Madam Hou, please don't wrongly accuse our Chen family. How could we have the guts to murder the emperor?"

Lin Yiwan sneered at him, "Minister Chen, you know that black-skinned snakes aren't venomous snakes that are supposed to be found in the capital. They're accustomed to living in ponds and caves in the south. So, we can infer that someone bought them intentionally to kill them. No matter who they targeted, this is no small matter!"

Minister Chen looked at Xiao Ling for help, his face panicked.

Lin Yiwan exposed him: "Look at what the emperor is doing? Could it be that the emperor ordered you to do it? He is harming himself?"

Xiao Ling flatly denied it. "I didn't do that. Auntie is right. This matter must be thoroughly investigated. Come, report to the Dali Temple immediately and have Lin Qing come to investigate!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Madam Chen's sobbing voice could be heard from outside: "Your Majesty, please spare my life and don't report it to the Dali Temple. It was my foolish son who did this. He bought a poisonous snake from a snake dealer. It was originally caged, but somehow it escaped and caused this disaster!"

After being slapped several times, Chen Sifang staggered in and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Please spare my life, Your Majesty and Madam Hou!"

Minister Chen also knelt down and pleaded, "Your Majesty, my son was just confused for a moment. This is all his fault. I will punish him severely. Please forgive him!"

Seeing that the conflict had shifted, Lin Yiwan stopped talking.

From the moment she first heard the news, she guessed that this must be a conspiracy between the Chen family and the emperor.

Fortunately, Miao'er was smart and did not let these people lead her by the nose, otherwise, she would have been taken to the palace to take care of the emperor.

What’s more important is that she must be bound by the calculated favor!

It’s disgusting just thinking about it!

Xiao Ling closed his eyes tightly. How could he force Zhan Miao to stay with him? He had completely lost the initiative.

He analyzed the situation carefully and decided that if Zhan Miao was to inherit his entrustment, he would have to abandon the Chen family!

With my aunt's temper, she will never let it go!

Forget it, I can only give up!

He took a deep breath and said, "Minister Chen, you only have one son, Chen Sifang, right?"

Minister Chen choked up and replied, "Yes, he is my only child!"

Xiao Ling nodded: "Your offspring are indeed a little thin, and he didn't really intend to murder me, it was just an accident, so I will pardon him for now!"

Minister Chen quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty! I will definitely teach him a lesson and forbid him from buying such nonsense into the palace again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yiwan immediately grabbed Zhan Miao's wrist and said, "Your Majesty, now that the matter has been investigated, I will not stay any longer. I will take my leave!"

She did not mention a single word about Xiao Ling being bitten by a poisonous snake for Zhan Miao, wanting to erase the fact completely.

Xiao Ling couldn't bring it up any further. He just said reluctantly, "Miao'er was also frightened. When I return to the palace, I'll ask the Queen to send her some soothing supplements!"

Lin Yiwan did not refuse. After all, she couldn't contradict him openly in front of others.

As she got into the carriage, her expression suddenly became cold and ugly.

She said coldly: "The emperor is so calculating that he even resorted to such despicable means!"

Zhan Miao said flatteringly: "Mother, I didn't suffer any loss. I saw through his intentions from the beginning. I told him directly that if he didn't stand in front of me, I could kill that black snake directly!"

Lin Yiwan was very pleased. She felt that although Xiao Miaoer seemed careless, he was actually very clear-headed.

At least she can prevent herself from being led by the nose by others!

This is very rare.

She rubbed her head and said, "Isn't it disappointing that I didn't make it to the manor?"

Zhan Miao shook his head: "Not at all. After this incident, I have become more cautious. I must be more vigilant towards the emperor in the future!"

Lin Yiwan had mixed feelings. She was looking forward to her daughter growing up, but she was also conflicted that she should live under the wings of her parents.

When she returned to the Marquis' Mansion, she told Zhan Yan about Xiao Ling's plan for the Chen family.

He was furious: "The Emperor is really stubborn. He didn't dare to do it openly, and now he's resorting to covert means. Does he have to force Miao'er to stay by his side?"

Lin Yiwan frowned and pondered, "How about sending Miao'er to my father and mother as well?"

Zhan Yan shook his head. "The situation in the North is dire. Although it's my father's fiefdom, those old ministers have already established their own forces. On the surface, everything seems peaceful, but who can guess what's really going on? We can't cause trouble for my father, lest he be overwhelmed!"

A complex look flashed in Lin Yiwan's eyes. It seemed that she would have to compete with Xiao Ling in wits and courage for a while.

The next day, Xiao Ling stopped attending the morning court, saying that he felt a little weak after being bitten by a poisonous snake.

Lin Yiwan didn't take it to heart. She took the children to the farm and had a good time.

There was a barbecue dinner in the evening and the children enjoyed the meal very much.

In addition, the soup made from the fish they caught themselves was so delicious that it almost made their tongues fall off.

Zhan Xuan sighed, "We won't be able to eat these delicious foods when we go to the military camp. We have to remember these smells deeply in our minds!"
