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

Jing Shu'er's pupils contracted violently. She raised her hand and slapped the maid beside her fiercely, cursing, "Who told you to talk nonsense? This is all your fault!"

Hui Er was so frightened that she knelt down and begged, "Miss, please calm down. I will never dare to do that again!"

Zhan Miao was too lazy to watch the fight between the master and servant, so she whistled to call the snow wolf out.

Jing Shu'er was so frightened that she screamed: "Help, mother, help me!"

Zhan Miao reached out and patted the snow wolf's head: "It's very well behaved. It won't bite anyone randomly. It only hurts people with bad intentions!"

She leaned close to its ear and ordered, "Baibai, squat down!"

The snow wolf knelt in front of her and took her in.

Zhan Miao shouted happily: "Let's go home quickly, so as not to keep big brother and mother waiting for a long time!"

The beast and the man soon disappeared from sight in the afternoon light.

The crowd gradually dispersed, but Jing Shuer's pretty face turned pale.

She had never felt so frustrated before. In Luyang, she was a respected young lady from the Luyang Palace.

He entered the capital alone, but was looked down upon again and again.

She was afraid that she had become the talk of the town people!

They would scold her for having no self-respect and no self-love, and for rushing to throw herself at the eldest son of the Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion.

How did it turn out like this?

She can't accept it!

Madam Jing grabbed her wrist tightly and said, "Shu'er, if you want to cry, just cry. Don't hold it in. Mother is always by your side!"

Jing Shu'er said stubbornly: "No, I won't cry. That's a sign of cowardice and incompetence!"

Although she said this, her teeth almost broke her lip.

Madam Jing sighed helplessly, "We've exhausted all possible means. We can only return to Luyang City in disgrace!"

Jing Shu'er shook her off forcefully: "You can go back if you want. I won't admit defeat. I'm still alive!"

She strode towards the inn, her face pale and ugly.

The wife of Prince Jing chased after him and said anxiously, "Shu'er, you can't be so willful. There are many children from noble families in Luyang City. We don't need to stay in the capital and humiliate ourselves!"

She backed down because she didn't want her daughter to suffer any more injustice.

However, Jing Shu'er suddenly stopped in her tracks and asked, "Do you think that when I return to Luyang City, my grandfather will still value me as much as before?"

Madam Jing replied with a dodgy look in her eyes: "Probably, right?"

Jing Shu'er shook her head vigorously: "He won't. He is the most honorable King Luyang. When I am praised by others, he will think I am good, but when I fail to complete the tasks he assigned, he will only think I am useless!"

Lady Jing argued, "But you are his granddaughter!"

Jing Shu'er scoffed, "So what? Grandfather has no shortage of granddaughters. Don't we have several concubines in the mansion?"

The wife of Prince Jing's wife's face suddenly darkened. She clenched her fists and said, "They dare not act rashly!"

Jing Shu'er said bitterly, "Mother, why don't you stay in the capital and try again? Perhaps you can find another opportunity."

Lady Jing understood her stubborn nature and she really couldn't persuade her.

When the mother and daughter returned to the inn, they saw Lin Yiwan waiting at the door.

Her eyes were cold and fierce, and her aura alone was enough to frighten people.

The wife of Prince Jing was also very frightened. She stepped forward with some trepidation and said, "Madam Hou, I wonder what brings you here to see us mother and daughter?"

Lin Yiwan frowned and said, "The wife of the Crown Prince of Luyang Palace is staying in a small inn? Isn't that too unfair? Don't you have anywhere else to go?"

Lady Jing wasn't sure what she meant, so she didn't dare to say anything.

Jing Shu'er immediately interjected, "We're already looking for a house to buy, but we haven't found a suitable one yet, so we're staying in the inn temporarily!"

Lin Yiwan nodded: "Would you like me to come in and sit down?"

Lady Jing invited her in, and she sat on the couch, and placed the exquisite heater in her hand on the table.

She spoke slowly: "I heard that you and my daughter Zhan Miao met by chance in the bookstore, and you saved her life and planned to marry her?"

Jing Shu'er could hear the sarcasm in her tone, but she couldn't refute it.

She could only explain dryly: "Madam Hou, this is a misunderstanding. I have already explained it clearly to your daughter. If you insist on not believing it, there is nothing I can do!"

The wife of Prince Jing also spoke up immediately, "Yes, my daughter didn't say a word from beginning to end. It was the maid who acted on her own. We have already punished her. We slapped her on the mouth. We want her to remember this lesson and be more careful with her words and actions in the future!"

Lin Yiwan was silent for a moment before she slowly spoke, "Let's be frank. My son has no intention of getting married yet. Please stop trying to contact him!"

The wife of Prince Jing frowned and said, "Madam Hou, this is your fault. When the child grows up, he naturally needs to get married. Are you going to let your son be a bachelor for the rest of his life? Wouldn't your mansion be laughed at by others?"

Lin Yiwan laughed. "Why should we live our whole lives for others to see? Isn't it better to just live our own lives? If they don't want to get married now, they can change their minds in the future and choose a wife later. That's not impossible. I didn't say they should be single forever!"

Jing Shuer thought she couldn't wait and her grandfather would never let her play the long game to catch a big fish.

She had no choice but to take the risk!

On the surface, she said respectfully: "I have kept in mind what the Marquis's wife said. Please rest assured that I will not pester the eldest master anymore!"

Lin Yiwan immediately stood up: "I hope you really listened to me. I came here to remind you and also to warn you!"

She suddenly emphasized the last two words, and the ending tone must have carried murderous intent.

The wife of Prince Jing and Jing Shu'er were both frightened and shuddered. When they reacted, Lin Yiwan had already walked away.

She said angrily, "They're showing off like this. No wonder they're all calling the Zhan Yihou Mansion arrogant and presumptuous. Look at how she acts, as if the entire capital belongs to them!"

Jing Shu'er whispered, "Mother, I won't back down. I've made up my mind now. I will force the Zhan Yi Marquis's Mansion to accept us!"

Madam Jing asked in surprise, "What's the idea?"

Jing Shuer pointed to the exquisite heater on the table. It was the one Lin Yiwan forgot to take away when she left just now.

She probably didn't mean it, but it gave Jing Shuer the opportunity to take advantage of it.

As night fell, a fire suddenly broke out in the courtyard where Jing Shuer and her daughter lived.

The maid Hui'er was burned to death, and several other maids and nannies were seriously injured.

The surrounding neighbors were almost affected. Fortunately, the government sent people to put out the fire in time, otherwise, greater casualties would have been caused.

Jing Shu'er cried and said, "Someone is trying to harm us, mother and daughter. Please, sir, please investigate and not let those people die in vain!"

Due to her status, the yamen runner immediately reported the matter.

Not long after, Dali Temple Minister Lin Ran came in person to investigate the arson case.

He ordered a search and soon found an exquisite hand warmer at the scene.
