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

Lin Yiwan asked calmly, "Did you and your sister come to the capital this time to seek help? Is this also the reason why you are willing to be a concubine?"

Huangfu Lingyun gave a bitter laugh, "Madam Hou, who would want to be a concubine if you can be the principal wife? But the powerful people in the capital are not taken seriously by the elders of September City. The only exception is Prince Li. But he is a bit old, almost old enough to be my father. I definitely can't marry him!"

Lin Yiwan chuckled, "So you chose my husband not because he's handsome or charming, but because he's younger than my father?"

Huangfu Lingyun's face flushed red as she stammered, "Marquis Zhan Yi is indeed a man of extraordinary appearance, but I wouldn't fall in love with him the first time I saw him. I just want to use this marriage to become a strong support for my brother to ascend to the position of head of the family!"

Lin Yiwan raised her eyebrows sarcastically: "Then don't dream on it, you won't get what you want on this trip!"

After saying that, she was about to turn around and leave.

Huangfu Lingyun quickly rushed in front of her to stop her, "Madam Hou, you should know that my eldest brother is a kind and righteous man. Back then, Jingcheng was hit by a cold disaster and the people fell ill one after another. It was he who braved the wind and snow to deliver medicine, which reduced the number of casualties. These things are all recorded by the court. You can go and check!"

Lin Yiwan actually believed what she said, otherwise Mo Lingyue would not have brought them to his son's party.

Perhaps sensing her hesitation, Huangfu Lingyun continued, "As for that illegitimate son, all he cares about is money. He drives up the prices of herbs, making a killing for himself, but it's the people who suffer. Gradually, they can no longer afford medicine and are left to wait for death!"

Lin Yiwan frowned and looked at her: "I can't just listen to your one-sided story. At this time, I need to investigate and give you an answer!"

Huangfu Lingyun nodded hurriedly: "Okay, Madam Hou, go ahead and investigate. If my brother and I lie in the slightest, you can do whatever you want!"

Lin Yiwan turned around and left quickly. She first ordered someone to call Mo Lingyue over.

She frowned and asked, "Is there trouble in Jingcheng?"

Mo Lingyue nodded solemnly, "Huangfu Yan no longer has the power to speak, and all the hall masters have been replaced by Huangfu Liu's men. Medicine prices have risen drastically, and the people are suffering!"

He paused and continued, "Although what Huangfu Yan and his sister did was a little inappropriate, when he was in charge of the pharmacy, the people actually benefited. I can testify to this!"

Lin Yiwan fell into deep thought. Why was Mo Lingyue controlled by others now? It was because the Huangfu family's pharmacy was the only one in the market. If another pharmacy came in, would he still dare to be so arrogant?

She didn't say she would help Huangfu Yan and his sister, but turned around and told Ling'er: "Go find Xiaoruan and ask her to select a few doctors with good medical skills. Immediately send them to Jingcheng with medicinal materials for a free clinic!"

Ling'er quickly responded and left, and Mo Lingyue's face was immediately filled with joy.

He asked excitedly, "Aunt Wan plans to open the pharmacy in Jingcheng and compete with the Huangfu family?"

Lin Yiwan shook her head. "This isn't a showdown; we need to resolve the problem from the root. Huangfu Liu is certainly despicable, but there's no guarantee that someone else might come along and try to manipulate you. We can't let him dominate the situation alone!"

Mo Lingyue said with admiration: "The people of Jingcheng are blessed!"

Lin Yiwan didn't want to get involved in the Huangfu family's affairs. She only cared about the safety of the people and would never watch them become victims of the internal strife among the hidden clans.

Just as she was about to send Mo Lingyue away, she saw the old nanny from Zhan Miao's courtyard walk in quickly and say, "Madam, Miss Qingning and the young lady left the house to buy kites at dusk, and they haven't returned yet. I'm really worried!"

Lin Yiwan's expression suddenly changed: "They've been away from home for so long, why didn't you come and report earlier?"

The old nanny said with a bitter face, "The young lady said she wanted to hang out with Miss Qingning for a while, and she specifically told me not to come to the Princess's Mansion to report to you, so I didn't dare to make any decisions on my own!"

Lin Yiwan did not dare to hesitate and immediately took people out to search.

It was already late at night and the streets were deserted.

The surrounding shops have also closed, which makes Lin Yiwan very worried.

Zhan Yan also arrived in time. He took his men to the kite shop on West Street as quickly as possible.

The old man making the kite turned pale with fright. He had no idea why soldiers would suddenly show up at his door in the middle of the night.

Zhan Yan was the first to ask, "Did you see two little girls come to buy kites at dusk?"

The old man thought for a moment before answering, "I have seen them, but they bought the kite and left. As for where they went, I really don't know!"

Lin Yiwan had regained her composure by now. The two little girls were very smart and there shouldn't be any danger for the time being. She had to stay calm.

She walked around the kite shop, then turned and looked at the old man again: "When these two people came to buy kites, did you also serve other customers?"

The old man quickly replied, "There was a man who came in with us. He was staring at the two girls. I even whispered to them to be careful with their purses because I was afraid he was a thief!"

Lin Yiwan quickly asked, "Did he go with them?"

The old man nodded: "Yes, walk towards the east side of the store!"

Lin Yiwan frowned immediately. East? Is that the direction out of the city?

Judging by the time, it should have been taken out.

Zhan Yan immediately said, "Wanwan, don't worry. I'll take people to search the nearby manors right now!"

Lin Yiwan felt a little uneasy. She roughly guessed who had kidnapped Zhan Miao and Qing Ning.

She quickly said, "I'll go with you!"

The two men left the city overnight and quickly searched all the surrounding farms.

However, there was no trace of them at all.

Until someone provided a clue, saying that when he came down from the mountain hunting at night, he saw a carriage driving towards Fangjiayuan.

Lin Yiwan was stunned. Isn’t that the old house of her sworn brother?

How to go there?

She didn't dare to delay and rushed over immediately.

The one guarding the village is Fang family's old servant, named Fang De.

He recognized Zhan Yan and Lin Yiwan. When he saw them approaching, he immediately knelt down and saluted respectfully: "I pay my respects to the Marquis and Madam!"

Zhan Yan frowned and looked at him: "Fang De, were there any carriages coming in and out of the manor tonight?"

Fang De nodded quickly: "Yes, the young lady of our mansion transported some old things to the farm, and I just ordered them to unload them!"

Zhan Yan immediately asked, "Where did you unload it?"

Fang De replied in panic: "Firewood, the firewood room!"
