Lin Yiwan turned a deaf ear to it, as she trusted her intuition very much.
Minister Chen was promoted by Xiao Ling, so it is reasonable for Chen Qianqian to want to please him.
Then Miaoer will become her bargaining chip.
No matter what, she had to concentrate on searching in the dry well.
Just like the last time in the dark room of the Buddhist temple, she finally escaped with her life.
At this time, Chen Qianqian was already sweating profusely. The longer Lin Yiwan stayed down there, the more anxious and uneasy she became.
She pretended to be calm and looked at Zhan Xuan: "Second Young Master, you should persuade the Marquis's wife. She doesn't give the Chen family face and doesn't take me seriously. She is dissatisfied with the emperor. I will soon enter the palace and become the emperor's woman!"
Zhan Xuan frowned and retorted, "My mother is trying to find the thief as soon as possible for your safety. How can you not appreciate her kindness?"
"You!" Chen Qianqian felt her heart tighten with anger at his sophistry.
Zhan Xuan said sarcastically, "It is precisely because you are about to become the emperor's woman that my mother is working so hard. She wants to share the emperor's worries!"
Chen Qianqian clenched her palms tightly, unable to refute Zhan Xuan's twisted logic.
However, just when she was feeling extremely upset, Lin Yiwan's cold voice suddenly rang out from the bottom of the well: "You're looking for trouble! There's a secret door on the wall of the well. Zhan Xuan, send someone down to break it open!"
Zhan Xuan glared at Chen Qianqian fiercely and sent his guards to help.
The reason why he didn't go down was because he wanted to keep an eye on the Chen siblings.
The secret door was quickly knocked open, and Lin Yiwan discovered that it was a cellar.
She soon saw the unconscious Zhan Miao and rushed over.
"Meow!" she called out with worried eyes.
Zhan Miao was drowsy. She opened her eyes weakly and murmured, "Mother, where is this place? I can't breathe!"
A cold murderous intent flashed in Lin Yiwan's eyes. The cellar was stuffy. If she had come a step later, Miao'er would have been in great danger.
She quickly picked up Zhan Miao and walked out, startling the Chen siblings who were waiting at the wellhead.
Chen Qianqian was the first to ask, "How could Miss Miao'er be hiding down there? Madam Hou, where did you find her? Could she have been kidnapped by thieves?"
Lin Yiwan didn't bother to pay attention to her, she had to save Zhan Miao first.
The little girl's lips had turned blue, which looked very scary.
She quickly gave her acupuncture and fed ginseng medicine into her mouth.
Zhan Miao slowly woke up, sobbing sadly: "Mother, I thought I would never see you again in this life!"
Lin Yiwan hugged her tightly. "How could that be? Didn't Mother find you? Tell me quickly, who kidnapped you and brought you to this cellar?"
Zhan Miao replied accusingly, "It was Chen Sifang. He used a handkerchief to knock me unconscious. I heard him asking for credit with his sister and even said he wanted to send me to the palace to be presented to the emperor. Mother, you have to make the decision for me!"
Zhan Xuan raised his fist and smashed it hard into Chen Sifang's face, cursing as he did so: "You bastard, I gave you the honor, and you still dared to kidnap my sister, are you looking for death?"
Chen Sifang also learned martial arts, but he had no chance to fight back.
He was chased and beaten by Zhan Xuan and was almost beaten to death.
Chen Qianqian was so frightened by his screams that her face turned pale. She hurriedly tried to stop him: "Second Master Zhan, do you want to beat my brother to death? How can the Zhan family be so arrogant and presumptuous?"
Lin Yiwan interrupted her sarcastically, "How can the Zhan family be so arrogant? They only allow him to kidnap my daughter, but we are not allowed to settle the score with him? Or is it that your Chen family, with the emperor's protection, dares to openly kidnap innocent girls?"
Chen Qianqian was horrified. This was a serious crime that would plunge the entire Chen family into an eternal hell.
She pleaded anxiously, "Madam Hou, this is all a misunderstanding. My brother just wanted to invite Miss Zhan to visit our manor. He means no harm!"
Lin Yiwan asked in a deep voice, "Why would you knock her out if you didn't mean any harm? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
Chen Qianqian couldn't answer and watched Chen Sifang being beaten to death.
Zhan Xuan finally stopped and looked at Lin Yiwan: "Mother, how should we deal with this ignorant bastard?"
Lin Yiwan looked up at the sky and said, "Isn't it almost time for the morning court session? Carry him up to the main hall and let the emperor administer justice for our Miao'er!"
Chen Qianqian was so frightened that she was out of her wits. How could she bring such a thing to the court?
The Chen family will be criticized to death by those censors!
She really regretted it. When Chen Sifang proposed this plan, she should have tried her best to stop it.
It was just that her desire to surpass the queen prevailed, so she followed him and took the risk.
Now that the truth has been revealed, she is naturally panicked.
She pleaded tearfully, "Madam, my brother is blinded by greed. It's my fault that I didn't stop him in time. Please, for the sake of Miss Zhan's safety, forgive him this time, okay? He was almost beaten to death by Second Young Master Zhan!"
Lin Yiwan interrupted ruthlessly: "This matter must be brought to the court, otherwise, everyone will think that we in the Zhan Yihou Mansion are easy to bully!"
Chen Qianqian asked in a trembling voice, "Madam Hou, don't you even care about your own daughter's reputation? She was kidnapped by my brother. How do you know he didn't do anything to her?"
"Pa!" Lin Yiwan raised her hand and slapped her hard on the face.
She sarcastically said, "My daughter is so young, who dares to slander her?"
Chen Qianqian's ears were ringing from the beating, and only one thought kept flashing through her mind: it was over, the Chen family was over!
Lin Yiwan brought people back to Beijing and went straight to the palace.
Xiao Ling had just arrived at court. He was a little tired and his tone was rather perfunctory: "Anyone, are there any matters? If not, then please adjourn!"
Before the ministers could utter a word, a young eunuch's panicked voice could be heard from outside: "Your Majesty, the wife of Marquis Zhan Yi is here, and she wants to sue the Chen family!"
Minister Chen of the Ministry of Revenue was immediately bewildered. "How did our Chen family offend her? And she even came to the court to complain. It's endless!"
His dissatisfaction was written all over his face; he thought Lin Yiwan was being unreasonable.
Zhan Yan did not go to the farm due to official business. When he heard that his wife and children had all come to the palace, he immediately went out to greet them.
When he heard the whole story, he returned to the hall and kicked Minister Chen to the ground.
Minister Chen was caught off guard and fell hard.
He ignored the headache and immediately opened his mouth to curse: "Zhan Yan, are you crazy? Do you treat the court as your own vegetable garden and let you run wild?"
This sentence aroused public anger, and many imperial censors accused Zhan Yan: "Zhan Yihou, you are too outrageous. How can you beat a court official at will?"
Xiao Ling also frowned and said, "Zhan Yihou, what exactly is going on?"
Zhan Yan sneered: "Wait until my wife and children come to the palace, and you will know what happened!"
When Xiao Lingxuan and the others went up to the hall, they saw the Lin siblings, who were in a dishevel, being helped in. His heart skipped a beat.
Minister Chen spotted his injured son and rushed over to him, asking, "Sifang, who hit you? How are you? Tell me quickly, are you seriously injured?"
