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

She didn't want to move today, so she said directly: "Go tell the mother-in-law that I was tired in the palace yesterday and need to rest!"

Ling'er did not hesitate and quickly passed on Lin Yiwan's order.

The old woman appeared in front of everyone in a disheveled state, and almost frightened Madam Zhan to the point of falling to the ground.

She asked in shock: "How did you get into such a horrible state!"

The old woman felt bitter, but she didn't dare to complain.

After all, when she came, Ling'er threatened her that if she dared to tell Old Madam Zhan, next time she would not be pushed into the water, but drowned in a dung bucket!

She spoke tremblingly: "It was I who accidentally fell into the lotus pond. Old Madam, there is no need to worry!"

Madam Zhan interrupted irritably, "Who's worried about you? Where's Lin Yiwan? Why didn't she come with you?"

The old woman said in embarrassment: "Madam is not feeling well. She was exhausted in the palace yesterday!"

Madam Zhan never expected that Lin Yiwan would dare to refuse the challenge and slap her in the face in public.

A noble lady immediately started to sulk, "Old Madam, those who know you think you've married a daughter-in-law, but those who don't think you've married an ancestor. Your own mother-in-law invited her to come enjoy the lotus and entertain the guests, and she had the guts to openly refuse?"

Madam Zhan gritted her teeth in hatred: "I want to see whether she is really tired or just pretending to be tired!"

She quickly called out to everyone, "Please come with me, an old woman, to invite my daughter-in-law!"

Everyone was interested in watching the fun, so they all followed suit.

Madam Zhan's eyes were filled with anger, and when she saw the tightly closed gate, she became extremely annoyed.

Without hesitation, she quickly ordered, "Come on, bang on the door!"

More than a dozen old women came forward together and slammed the gate hard.

"Bang!" The courtyard door suddenly opened, causing the unsuspecting maids to fall hard.

Lin Yiwan stood tenderly under the eaves, asking in surprise, "Madam, what's going on?"

Madam Zhan's face turned livid with anger, but thinking of Zhan Yu's plan, she forced a smile and said, "I know you were exhausted from staying in the palace yesterday, but if you, the wife of the Marquis's Mansion, don't attend the lotus viewing banquet that was scheduled long ago, people will accuse our Mansion of being disrespectful!"

A noble lady next to her immediately spoke up, "That's right. The old lady is already old. Logically, she should have retired and enjoyed her life in peace. Now that you have become the wife of the Marquis, you should shoulder this responsibility!"

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but frown. Was it because she had such a good temper that any demon or monster dared to step on her?

She recognized this woman; she was the wife of the Minister of Works and was an intimate friend of the lady from the second house.

I'm afraid that this time, he is here to find trouble for the second wife!

After all, being kicked out and living a hard life is definitely not something one would be willing to accept!

She asked calmly, "Are you from our Marquis' Mansion?"

The Minister's wife replied subconsciously: "I am not!"

Lin Yiwan raised an eyebrow sarcastically, "Since you're not, it's your turn to meddle in other people's business. I didn't organize the Lotus Appreciation Banquet, so why should I attend it?"

The Minister's wife's face turned pale from being scolded. She pointed at Lin Yiwan angrily and scolded, "You immoral woman! How dare you scold me? Why don't you kneel down and apologize to me!"

Lin Yiwan suddenly remembered that she seemed to have been canonized as the first-rank lady by the emperor yesterday.

She narrowed her eyes and said, "Ling'er, give her a slap on the face for daring to point a finger at an imperial minister. It's so rude! Beat her until she admits her mistake!"

"Yes!" Ling'er responded promptly, and in three or two steps she rushed to the shouting wife of the minister, and started attacking her face left and right.

Several maids around her were about to step forward to stop them, but were stopped by Zi'er with a cold expression: "Whoever dares to step forward, be careful of the sword!"

Seeing that the wife of the Minister had been beaten until her face turned purple and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth, the horrified Madam Zhan immediately shouted, "Stop beating me, you little bitch, why don't you stop right now?"

Ling'er raised her eyebrows. She didn't call her a little bitch. It didn't matter who she loved. She would just continue to work!

After a few more hits, the minister's wife finally couldn't bear it anymore. She screamed, "I was wrong, I was wrong. Please forgive me this time, Madam Hou!"

Lin Yiwan then stopped Ling'er and asked her to return to herself.

Madam Zhan asked with a dark face, "Lin Yiwan, what are you doing? The Minister's wife is a guest of our Marquis' Mansion. If you punish her like this, won't you bring enmity upon the Marquis' Mansion?"

Lin Yiwan glanced at her and said, "The old lady also knows that she is a guest. If you know that, why don't you restrain her words and actions? Could it be that you just want her to deliberately anger me and then get a beating for nothing?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Zhan met the hateful eyes of the Minister's wife. She raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth and said, "Madam, you invited me to the Marquis' Mansion as a guest, and you watched me get beaten and did nothing. I will remember you this time!"

After saying that, she staggered away quickly.

Old Madam Zhan turned pale with fright. Lin Yiwan was simply too mean. She had actually provoked the Minister's wife to hate her with just a few words.

She hurriedly chased after him and explained, "Madam Shilang, don't be angry. I didn't mean to have you beaten!"

The Minister's wife shook her off and left without looking back.

Old Madam Zhan was so angry that she beat her chest and stamped her feet. Before she and Zhan Yu could implement their plan, the witness ran away. What should they do?

Just when they were in a dilemma, Lin Yiwan spoke up, "Didn't the old lady want to appreciate the lotus? It's the same for our family members to appreciate it now!"

Madam Zhan's eyes lit up. Yes, even if there were no outsiders to testify, weren't there still many servants and maids in the mansion?

She nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I'll ask someone to get you a boat across!"

After Lin Yiwan sat on the boat, Ling'er became a little worried. She said anxiously, "Madam, I can't swim. What should I do if the boat capsizes?"

Lin Yiwan turned around and looked around to comfort her: "Don't worry, Zi'er will save you as soon as possible!"

Ling'er's eyes suddenly widened: "What about you? No, you have to let Zi'er save you. It's okay for me to be drowned!"

As soon as the words fell, the boat that had been sailing smoothly suddenly stopped.

Ling'er quickly lowered her head to check, and suddenly saw a ghost face under the water.

"Ah!" She screamed in fright and raised her fist to hit the ghost face hard.

"Bang!" The ghost face hit her and she fell into the water.

"Help!" she screamed.

Almost the moment she entered the water, Zi'er flew over.

In a flash, Lin Yiwan also fell into the water.

Without giving her time to react, the figure hugged her tightly.
