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

He said solemnly, "Go back and tell the king that we will rest for a few days before planning to go out to sea to search for the people!"

Granny Jixiang bowed to the two of them before turning and quickly leaving.

Watching her figure disappear, Zhan Yan couldn't help but ask, "Wanwan, why did your uncle bring you deer antler soup out of the blue?"

Lin Yiwan looked him up and down: "Perhaps she noticed you didn't look well and wanted you to have something nourishing?"

Zhan Yan immediately frowned; was his expression really that bad?

He immediately looked in the bronze mirror and found that he had indeed become much more haggard.

However, he didn't drink the deer antler soup. Instead, he ordered the kitchen to stew some ginseng soup and send it over.

The next day, the two went to the beach to investigate.

Indeed, as the fortune teller had said, the sea was very rough, and many fishermen hurriedly returned and moored their boats at the shore.

Just then, a mournful cry suddenly rang out from not far away.

Lin Yiwan looked over instinctively and saw a small figure being swept into the sea by the waves.

A woman nearby screamed, "Luna'er, my Luna'er, someone please save her!"

Before Lin Yiwan could say anything, a white figure had already darted away.

Who else could it be but Zhan Xiaobai?

It bravely plunged into the waves and quickly retrieved Luna.

Upon seeing her daughter again, the woman quickly embraced her.

Zhan Xiaobai returned to Zhan Miao's side to claim credit, tilting its head high as if seeking a reward.

Zhan Miao stuffed a piece of meat into its mouth and said, "Good little white dog, since you're so brave, I'll reward you with a fresh piece of meat!"

Zhan Xiaobai was overjoyed. Even though the meat strips were only enough to fill a tooth gap, it wagged its tail happily.

The woman, carrying Lu Na'er, walked up to Lin Yiwan and said, "Thank you for saving our lives. A storm is coming soon, why don't you come to my house to rest for a while?"

Lin Yiwan and Zhan Yan also wanted to find out more, so they nodded subtly.

The group followed the woman into a dilapidated cabin. She first wrapped Luna'er in a clean blanket before pouring tea for everyone.

She said helplessly, "My home is simple, please don't find it offensive!"

Lin Yiwan smiled, her eyes narrowing: "How could that be? Being able to drink a cup of hot tea in this kind of weather is already very lucky!"

Seeing how kind and approachable she was, the woman's unease lessened considerably.

She nodded: "Yes, the waves at sea rise quickly and recede just as fast. I guarantee the sea will be calm within half an hour!"

At this moment, Lu Na'er also reacted. She called out weakly, "Mother, hasn't Father come back yet? I'm so hungry. I want to eat the water chestnut cake that Father brought!"

The woman quickly walked up to her and comforted her, "Luna, you need to be more sensible. We have guests at home!"

Lu Na'er blinked in confusion, and saw Zhan Miao take out a piece of pastry from his purse and hand it to her: "This is red date cake. Try it and see which one tastes better, this or your water chestnut cake?"

Perhaps it was because she saw the pastries, but Luna's whole face lit up.

She subconsciously licked her lips and turned to look at the woman: "Mother? May I accept the snacks from this pretty lady?"

The woman sighed helplessly, "Of course!"

Upon hearing her mother's approval, Luna immediately reached out her little hand and took the piece of red date cake.

She took a small bite carefully, then smiled at Zhan Miao and said, "Thank you, beautiful sister!"

Zhan Miao reached out and patted her little head: "You have a sweet tongue, but you can't go near the beach anymore. Luckily we found you and rescued you. If we weren't there, you would have been swept away by the waves."

Luna explained cautiously, "I went to wait for my father. He's been at sea for a long time and hasn't come back yet!"

Lin Yiwan's heart stirred slightly, and she subconsciously looked at the woman with a complicated expression.

She whispered, "My husband went to sea on an official ship two months ago, and we haven't heard from him since. He's the pillar of our family. With his accident, my daughter and I have no one to rely on. Our house has been seized, so I can only bring her to the seaside to wait. I firmly believe he will come back!"

Lin Yiwan felt a pang of sorrow, thinking of the boatman who had disappeared along with his mother-in-law and Prime Minister Min.

She looked at Zhan Yan, who was also quite moved.

He said in a deep voice, "Which village do you live in? I can bring people to help you get your house back!"

The woman quickly shook her head: "No need. Actually, it's quite nice for us to stay in this cabin. We can go out and inquire about news at sea every day. Maybe one day we'll really see my husband again?"

Zhan Yan's expression turned serious upon hearing her words.

Perhaps feeling that the cabin was a bit oppressive, he got up and went outside.

At this moment, the woman approached Lin Yiwan and asked, "Benefactor, are you also planning to go out to sea?"

She nodded: "Yes, our loved ones have also gone missing at sea, and we plan to go out and look for them!"

The woman's eyes lit up, and she instinctively grabbed Lin Yiwan's wrist, pleading, "Could you take us with you? Please, Lu Na'er and I can do any kind of work, we can take care of you!"

Lin Yiwan quickly shook her head: "No, the sea is too dangerous. What if something happens to you?"

The woman gave a helpless, bitter smile: "Even if we don't go to sea, my daughter and I will still have a hard life. I'm not afraid of death. I just want to go and see the place where my husband disappeared. I always feel that he is still alive. Every night I dream that he is in a predicament and can't get out!"

Lin Yi-wan couldn't help but furrow her brow. A predicament?

Was the disappearance of the mother-in-law and Min Sang an accident or deliberate?

Thinking of this, a chilling glint flashed in her eyes.

As noon approached, the wind and rain indeed subsided.

Lin Yiwan bid farewell to the woman, instructing her, "You and Lu Na'er should rest well. If nothing unexpected happens, we will set sail in three days, and we will definitely take you with us!"

The woman was filled with gratitude: "Thank you so much, my benefactor!"

After saying that, he pressed Lu Na'er's head down and made her kneel down and kowtow.

Lin Yiwan quickly stopped her, saying, "No, it was just a small favor for us!"

The woman watched the group leave before leading Luna back to the dilapidated cabin.

Luna tilted her head and said, "Mother, are we going to go out to sea with them to find Father? I really like that pretty older sister; the snacks she has are so delicious!"

The woman sighed helplessly, saying that children are so easy to please, and a few snacks are enough to make them happy.

Only she could see that the noble lady could change her and Luna's fate. As long as she stayed by her side, she would no longer have to suffer in this dilapidated cabin.

At this moment, Lin Yiwan and Zhan Yan had returned to the side of the King of Wu. She asked in a low voice, "Uncle, tell me the truth, before Mother and Prime Minister Min disappeared, did they offend anyone?"
