He huddled in the corner and closed his eyes to rest, while Wang Jianye held the sharp hairpin in Wang Mingzhu's hair tightly in his hand.

She asked in a low voice: "Brother, what are you going to do?"

"Shh!" Wang Jianye raised his finger at her.

He quickly walked to Wang Yong, picked up the hairpin and stabbed it hard into his throat.

"Ah!" Wang Yong suddenly let out a shrill scream.

Blood gushed out from between his fingers. He widened his eyes in disbelief and roared, "Rebellious son, how dare you murder your own father?"

Wang Jianye ignored him and hid in the corner with Wang Mingzhu in his arms.

Wang Yong instinctively called for help: "Help, help!"

The yamen runners rushed in quickly when they heard the noise, and were shocked when they saw Wang Yong covered in blood.

They didn't care about anything and quickly dragged him out.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Wang Jianye pulled Wang Mingzhu and fled quickly.

Zi'er returned to the Marquis Zhan Yi's residence to report to Lin Yiwan. She said, "Wang Yong and his two children have been arrested and taken to the Dali Temple. Their crimes are serious, and I'm afraid they will be exiled three thousand miles away!"

Lin Yiwan's pretty face was very red because she had drunk some wine.

She applied a cold handkerchief and said, "He deserves it. Xie Ru is a little soft-hearted after all. If it were me, I would definitely find a way to kill him!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhan Yan, wearing moon-white pajamas after taking a bath, walked in from outside.

He seemed stronger, and his moon-white pajamas could hardly hide the bulging muscles around his chest.

Lin Yiwan swallowed subconsciously, her pretty face turned even redder, and the cold handkerchief was even heated up by it.

Zhan Yan was completely unaware. He even asked curiously, "Whose life did Wanwan just say she wanted?"

Zi'er was not someone who didn't know what was going on. She quickly turned around and left, closing the door considerately.

Lin Yiwan quickly recovered: "Of course it's Wang Yong, the former Marquis of Weiyuan. He's so mad that he's willing to kill his own son. How can we keep this guy alive for the New Year?"

Zhan Yan held her in his arms and said, "Hasn't he been taken to the Dali Temple? If you don't want him to live, just tell your uncle so he doesn't get angry!"

Lin Yiwan smelled the pleasant fragrance emanating from him, and her mind became a little confused.

She reached out and pinched his waist: "A Yan, you, are you getting stronger again?"

Zhan Yan's eyes suddenly brightened. He leaned close to her ear and asked, "Wanwan, why do you say that? Is it because you think I'm strong?"

Lin Yiwan's ears suddenly felt hot, and she quickly reached out and pushed him away: "I didn't, stop flattering yourself!"

Zhan Yan suddenly felt aggrieved: "It seems that I didn't work hard enough, which made Wanwan unhappy. Don't worry, I will definitely use my all tonight!"

The tent slowly fell, and Lin Yiwan's exclamation was heard immediately.

The next day, Lin Yiwan was woken up by Ling'er.

She opened her eyes blankly and looked around: "Where is the Marquis? Where did he go?"

Ling'er replied: "The Marquis has gone to the palace to discuss something with the Prince. The Princess is waiting for Madam outside. It seems that she has something very important to discuss with you!"

Lin Yiwan patted her head and secretly blamed Zhan Yan for not waking her up. She had almost slept until noon.

She hurried to the front hall and saw Lin Su sitting on a chair with a worried look on her face.

She quickly said, "Mother, why are you here? Where is my brother?"

Lin Su replied, "Your brother is in the palace, being looked after by our wet nurse. Wanwan, I came to discuss your grandmother's death anniversary. I've had nightmares for the past few days. She's been crying in my ear, saying her house is leaking and she gets terribly cold every time it rains!"

Lin Yiwan was stunned. She was no longer impressed by her grandmother's aura.

After all, she went early!

Lin Su continued, "November 18th is her death anniversary. I plan to go to the ancestral home and move her grave to our farm in the suburbs of Beijing. What do you think?"

Lin Yiwan nodded: "Of course, have you discussed this with your grandfather? Does he agree?"

Lin Su replied, "Of course he agreed, but he couldn't go with us. He broke his leg while collecting herbs in the mountains, and he didn't want you to worry, so he didn't let me tell you!"

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but frown. Her grandfather was always like this. He would hide everything from her.

Lin Su quickly comforted him: "Don't blame your grandfather, he knows that you have to deal with a lot of things. He is recuperating in the Liwang Mansion. I am taking good care of him!"

Lin Yiwan then said, "Okay, I'll go with you to the old house and move grandma's grave here!"

After much discussion, the mother and daughter decided to leave Beijing for Nancheng three days later.

The children also wanted to follow, but Lin Yiwan was worried that something might happen, so she asked them to stay in the Marquis' Mansion first.

Lin Xiaoruan naturally had to go back too, as that was also her hometown.

After three days of travel, they finally arrived at South City.

Lin Su and Lin Yiwan are not the type to show off, so they plan to keep a low profile in Beijing.

When the carriage arrived at the largest inn in the city, Lin Yiwan asked Zi'er to quickly book two upper rooms.

Lin Yiwan accompanied Lin Su to the Nancheng Temple to ask a senior monk to predict an auspicious time for the tomb relocation. The monk curiously asked, "I wonder whose tomb you are moving?"

Lin Su casually replied: "Lin family!"

The monk's expression suddenly grew serious. He asked in confusion, "But what about the Lin family member who was the imperial physician in the capital? I remember his wife's grave was moved a long time ago!"

Lin Su's expression suddenly changed. She quickly said, "Impossible! Did you remember it wrongly? If my father had moved his grave, why didn't he tell me?"

After hearing her words, the monk quickly showed respect.

He nodded and saluted: "So you are the daughter of Doctor Lin. I am honored to meet you!"

Lin Su asked anxiously, "Master, what's going on? My mother's grave is right on Yunwu Mountain. It's impossible to move it!"

The monk shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I only vaguely heard people talking about it. Why don't you go to the mountain again and take a look? If they haven't moved, I can help you choose an auspicious day!"

Lin Su had no choice but to agree, and she immediately took Lin Yiwan to Yunwu Mountain.

But just as they arrived at the cemetery, they were blocked by several strong men.

They shouted angrily in a deep voice: "This place is the Lin family's forbidden area. No one is allowed to enter at will. If you want to travel in the mountains, go somewhere else!"

Lin Yiwan asked calmly, "Which Lin family?"

The other party replied arrogantly: "Of course it's the Lin family who are the imperial doctors in the capital. Their daughter is the current Princess Li. Even the emperor has to call her aunt. You common people, get out of here immediately!"

Lin Yiwan continued to inquire, "Why is this the Lin family's forbidden area? I remember it wasn't sealed off when I came here before!"

The man interrupted impatiently: "This is a different time now. The reason it's called a forbidden area is that ordinary people can't just step in. Otherwise, they'll definitely get beaten. I advise you to leave quickly, young lady, or you'll get into trouble without even realizing it!"
