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

She brought everyone to the gate of the manor and asked Zi'er to go forward and knock on the door hard.

Soon the steward of the manor was awakened. He came out with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "It's so late, what can Madam Hou do for you?"

Lin Yiwan replied in a deep voice, "There are thieves on our farm. I've lost something very important. I saw the thieves running this way. To prevent your Chen family from suffering any losses, I have to go in and hunt for the thieves as soon as possible!"

Zhuangzi's steward looked embarrassed. He stammered, "Madam, I really can't make the decision. Why don't I go in and ask the eldest lady and the young master first? Let them decide!"

Lin Yiwan asked in surprise, "Are they here too?"

The Zhuangzi steward nodded and said, "Yes, I arrived during the day. I came to the Zhuangzi to relax!"

Lin Yiwan became more and more certain that the Chen siblings could not have come by such a coincidence, and they had captured Zhan Miao.

Zhan Xuan had obviously thought of this as well. He gritted his teeth and said, "Mother, we must search the Chen family manor. Miao'er must be hiding here!"

Lin Yiwan reminded him: "Be polite first, then use force. After all, Chen Qianqian has just been selected as a concubine, so she is considered the emperor's person!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a graceful young girl walking quickly towards them, surrounded by many maids and nannies.

She saluted respectfully: "Greetings, Madam Hou!"

Lin Yiwan said calmly, "Miss Chen, you're too polite. I didn't expect you to be staying at the manor. I apologize for disturbing you."

She cleverly used the word "also" to imply that Chen Qianqian might have bad intentions.

Chen Qianqian was not embarrassed at all, she could even laugh.

She spoke slowly, "Yes, what a coincidence! I'll be entering the palace soon, and I thought I might never be able to play freely on the farm again, so I asked my brother to stay with me for a few days!"

Lin Yiwan's patience was exhausted, and she wanted to search Chen's manor as soon as possible with a legitimate reason.

She said in a deep voice, "There was a thief just now. He stole something and hid it in your Chen family's manor. I need to send someone to search it!"

Chen Qianqian turned to look at the Zhuangzi manager: "Did you find any suspicious people sneaking in?"

The manor's steward quickly shook his head and denied it: "No, there are always guards patrolling the manor. If someone trespassed, there would definitely be a commotion!"

Zhan Xuan said angrily: "Don't you want us to search?"

Chen Qianqian explained calmly, "Second Master Zhan has misunderstood. We didn't stop you from searching. We just didn't want the Zhan Yihou Mansion to be accused of relying on its power to arbitrarily search other mansions!"

Lin Yiwan actually admired Miss Chen a little. No wonder she was chosen as a concubine. She was so scheming at such a young age.

She seemed to be praising the Zhan Yihou Mansion highly, but in fact, she was digging holes and setting traps.

She appeared as a weak person, highlighting the unreasonable behavior of Zhan Yihou's mansion.

Zhan Xuan also thought of this, and he didn't act on impulse.

He quickly came up with a plan and winked at Xie Jianshu who was standing not far away.

After all, they were good friends, so he quickly understood what he meant.

Xie Jianshu retreated quietly. When he reached a deserted place, he covered his mouth and nose with the mask and quickly rushed towards Chen's village.

Lin Yiwan happened to see this scene and subconsciously shouted, "Quick, is that the thief from before?"

Zhan Xuan nodded hurriedly: "Yes, it's him. I must catch him, otherwise, the treasure of our Zhan Yihou Mansion will never be found again!"

He quickly chased after the black shadow, which frightened Chen Qianqian so much that her face changed drastically.

Before she could say anything, Lin Yiwan blocked her mouth and said, "Ms. Chen, you are definitely not going to protect a thief, right?"

Chen Qianqian's face turned pale and blue. How could she refuse again?

She turned around and scolded the manager of the village: "What are you still standing there for? Go and help the Second Young Master catch the thief!"

The steward replied timidly: "Yes!"

He hurriedly led his men to the backyard and saw Zhan Xuan leading men searching everywhere.

At this time, Xie Jianshu joined the team without leaving any trace and did not arouse Chen Qianqian's suspicion.

However, no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find Zhan Miao.

This result made Chen Qianqian very satisfied. She said meaningfully, "Madam Hou, that thief must have gotten away again. He is very cunning and good at hiding!"

Lin Yiwan did not give up, she always felt that there were still places she had not searched.

Especially after she met Chen Sifang, she felt more and more that he had done something wrong.

Because his scheming towards her sister was really not that bad at all, and it was all shown on his face.

No wonder Chen Qianqian didn’t let him out at first!

With a solemn expression, she searched Chen's farm until she found a dry well covered with thatch.

She asked in surprise: "Miss Chen, what is this place?"

Chen Qianqian answered without hesitation, "It's a dry well that's been in disrepair for a long time. A nanny accidentally fell into it and died, so it was sealed!"

She answered calmly, but Chen Sifang, who was following her, became visibly nervous.

Lin Yiwan immediately had an idea. She said in a serious tone, "If it's really abandoned, why are there fresh marks on the thatch? It's obvious someone just moved it. Could it be the missing thief?"

Chen Sifang subconsciously argued: "Absolutely not!"

Lin Yiwan immediately pressed him, "How do you know? Or is it that there's no thief hiding in here, but a more important treasure?"

Her tone was so harsh that Chen Sifang retreated back in fear.

Chen Qianqian quickly came to her senses and angrily said, "Madam Hou, how could you treat my brother like this? If someone knows, you're trying to catch a thief, but if someone doesn't, they might think you look down on my Chen family and are deliberately picking on me!"

I have to say, her words were quite rude.

She roasted Lin Yiwan on the fire and made her bear the infamy!

Unexpectedly, Lin Yiwan didn't care about these at all.

She sneered, "Miss Chen, you have a sharp tongue. If your Chen family really does something that harms the world, I will never forgive them. You'd better hope that there is nothing in this dry well, otherwise, I will make you regret what you just said!"

Chen Qianqian was so frightened that she trembled all over. No matter how scheming she was, she was still just a little girl. She had never really seen any bloody and cruel means.

At this time, someone had already looked into the dry well, but indeed found nothing.

Lin Yiwan didn't believe it, so she went down to look for it herself.

The smell of dust entered her nose, making her chest feel a little stuffy.

She reached out and touched the blue bricks, carefully looking for flaws.

Chen Qianqian shouted from above, "Madam Hou, please come up quickly! Instead of wasting time here, you might as well go look somewhere else. Otherwise, the thief will have already escaped!"
