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

Emperor Sheng An angrily waved his sleeves: "How could I be like them? I have always valued you and Zhan Yan. Don't you know how much I indulge you?"

Lin Yiwan nodded: "I know, but I also understand that all that indulgence and respect was earned by my life-saving grace to the Emperor!"

Reason stopped Emperor Sheng An from arguing any further, otherwise, there would be no room for reconciliation between him and Lin Yiwan.

The fact that she had moved out despite saving his life was enough to show that she was extremely disappointed in him.

He could only slow down his tone and say, "Wanwan, no matter what, Yu'er has been burned to death. Could I possibly have mistakenly identified my own son's body?"

Lin Yiwan stubbornly interrupted, "Your Majesty, I still say the same thing. Xiao Yu is too cunning. Even if he really was burned to death, I would have to rely on my own methods to figure it out before I would believe it!"

Emperor Sheng An's eyes were cold and dark. He frowned and said, "What if I insist on stopping you?"

Lin Yiwan said word by word, "Then from now on, the relationship between the Zhan Yi Marquisate and the Emperor will be severed and we will no longer have any connection!"

A look of panic flashed across Emperor Sheng An's face. He didn't expect Lin Yiwan to say such heartless words.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that he could not leave Zhan Yan and Lin Yiwan.

He can only compromise!

He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, if you want to go, go ahead, but I want you to agree to one condition, that is, you continue to stay in the capital!"

Lin Yiwan was silent for a moment before speaking: "If Xiao Yu is really dead, then the crisis is over, and we can naturally stay!"

After hearing her words, the anger between Emperor Sheng An's brows finally dissipated.

He quickly said, "Li Delu, take the Marquis' wife to check on the body of the Second Prince, Xiao Yu!"

When Lin Yiwan and Sang Qiutang arrived at the underground ice room in the palace, they saw a horrific corpse covered with brocade.

Most of the skin and flesh have been carbonized, and nothing can be distinguished at all.

Sang Qiutang went forward to touch the bones, and then drew a rough outline based on the shape of the bones he felt.

When she added flesh and blood and drew the new appearance, although it looked 50% similar to Emperor Sheng An, the differences were clearly visible.

Sang Qiutang whispered, "Wanwan, the corpse's brow bones are high, which is caused by long-term thinness. But as far as I know, the Second Prince has fuller brow bones, so I am certain that this is not him at all!"

Lin Yiwan had guessed that this would be the result. When Xiao Miaomiao disappeared, she and Zhan Yan fell into his trap because they were too concerned and were deceived by him twice.

But now, she has regained her sanity.

Xiao Yu's clumsy tricks could never deceive her again.

She turned to look at Li Delu who was waiting at the door: "Go and invite the emperor!"

Not long after, Emperor Sheng An arrived with a grim expression.

He asked in a serious tone, "What? Did you find anything wrong?"

Lin Yiwan handed him the portrait and said, "Your Majesty, this is not Xiao Yu's body at all. If I'm not mistaken, he must have escaped from the palace!"

Emperor Sheng An took the portrait with a complicated expression.

He didn't know whether to be angry or happy. He was extremely shocked by his son's intelligence.

He actually came up with a plan to fake his own death and escape. He's really clever.

Meeting Lin Yiwan's sharp gaze, he subconsciously explained, "It seems somewhat similar to me. Could it be that Madam Lin's bones were deformed by the burns, so she drew it wrong?"

Sang Qiutang immediately said, "Your Majesty, I cannot be mistaken. Fire can burn flesh beyond recognition, but bones remain undeformed. This prominent brow bone clearly bears no resemblance to you!"

Emperor Sheng An quietly pinched the portrait, as if he could press down the different brow bones with just enough force.

Lin Yiwan said calmly, "Your Majesty, if you are unwilling to order a city-wide search for Xiao Yu's whereabouts, then I will let Ah Yan look for him now!"

Emperor Sheng An quickly spoke up, "Of course I sent someone. Don't worry, I'll search the entire capital to find him and hand him over to you!"

He asked Li Youde to lead the Imperial Guards to search, and also reminded them to be careful and cautious.

Lin Yiwan sat in the carriage leaving the palace. She frowned and said, "Auntie, where can Xiao Yu hide in his current situation?"

Sang Qiutang said slowly, "The Duke's Mansion is his only refuge!"

Lin Yiwan nodded: "Yes, the Duke's wife is his aunt. He has nowhere else to turn to, so he has no choice but to seek refuge with her first!"

She urged the carriage not to go back to Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion, but to go to the Duke's mansion first.

At this time, in the backyard of the Duke's Mansion, Xiao Yu stood in front of the Duke's wife with a terrified face. He said in a hoarse voice, "Aunt, please save Yu'er. My father wants my life. What should I do?"

The Duke's wife was filled with tears of heartache. She had originally thought that Xiao Yu had really died in the fire, but she had never expected that he could actually stand in front of her alive.

I have to say, my sister's child is really smart.

I must help her protect this child no matter what!

She said softly, "Don't be afraid, Yu'er. As long as you come to your aunt, I will protect your life. No one can take you away from me!"

Xiao Yu asked anxiously, "Aunt, what if, what if the Marquis's wife comes looking for us?"

A complex expression suddenly flashed across the Duke's wife's face. She had no other choice!

She could only hide Xiao Yu!

Just when she was in a state of confusion, she heard the housekeeper's report from outside: "Madam, the wife of Marquis Zhan Yi and the young lady of the Lin family want to see you!"

The Duke's wife's expression suddenly changed. How could they come so quickly?

Xiao Yu obviously didn't expect this, he thought he would have to wait a few more days.

Lin Yiwan found out almost as soon as he left the palace!

What the Queen Mother said was right. She was indeed the most cunning and treacherous, and no one could easily escape from her clutches.

He said in panic, "Aunt, what should I do? She actually found you here. Will she find me?"

The Duke's wife quickly calmed down. She said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Yu'er. We have a secret passage in the Duke's Mansion. You can go down and hide first. After we send her away, your aunt will come back to pick you up!"

Xiao Yu nodded happily: "Okay, thank you aunt!"

He was taken out by the Duke's wife's personal maid and soon disappeared.

The Duke's wife tidied her clothes before going out to welcome Lin Yiwan and Sang Qiutang into the house.

She had a look of surprise on her face: "Madam Hou, why are you and Madam Lin coming to our Duke's Mansion so late?"

Lin Yiwan said calmly, "I came to visit the eldest master. Didn't he have a cough after falling into the water? Is he feeling better now?"
