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

The King of Wu's expression stiffened for a moment before he shook his head vigorously: "No!"

Zhan Yan spoke without hesitation: "Now that things have come to this, you still want to hide it? Do you really want Mother and Prime Minister Min to never come back?"

King Wu hurriedly shook his head: "Ayan, don't wrong me. I really didn't have such thoughts. You should know better than anyone how much I trust my sister. I would rather die myself than see anything happen to my sister!"

Zhan Yan's expression softened, and he said in a deep voice, "Then tell me everything that happened before they went to sea, so that Wanwan and I can analyze why they disappeared!"

After a moment of silence, King Wu cleared his throat and replied, "Before my elder sister and Prime Minister Min went to sea, the one who clashed with them was none other than myself. I wanted to marry a girl from the Min family to enter the palace as empress to consolidate my imperial power, but I was met with their unanimous opposition!"

Lin Yiwan was immediately stunned: "The Min family? Relatives of Prime Minister Min?"

King Wu nodded: "Yes, his own niece, Min Yue!"

Zhan Yan asked, "You're not going to force me into marriage, are you?"

The King of Wu coughed awkwardly, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I force a marriage? Do you think I don't know who I'm saving the throne for? It's clearly the Min family who's trying to force their daughter into marriage!"

Lin Yiwan immediately understood: if there really was a conflict, it must be related to the Min family!

She frowned and asked, "Uncle, besides Prime Minister Min, are there any other very capable people in the Min family, such as someone who is knowledgeable in astronomy and geography?"

King Wu hurriedly replied, "Of course there are! The Min family is the largest clan in our Li Kingdom, producing many talented individuals. Besides Prime Minister Min, there is also the Great Heavenly Mandate Master Min De, who is also extremely powerful. He can read clouds and observe celestial phenomena. If he says that we cannot go to sea, then there will definitely be storms at sea!"

Lin Yiwan's breath hitched. Since the Grand Fate Master had such powerful methods, her mother and Prime Minister Min must have consulted him before setting sail!

What if he gives the wrong answer?

Thinking of this, her face darkened.

She said in a low voice, "Uncle, didn't you ever suspect that Grand Master of Destiny, Min De?"

King Wu asked blankly, "Why suspect him? He and Prime Minister Min are brothers, and they have a very good relationship. Why would he harm him?"

Lin Yiwan pressed further, "Who is Min Yue, the eldest daughter of the Min family who wanted to force you into marriage, closer to?"

After a moment's thought, King Wu whispered, "Min Yue is Min De's adopted daughter!"

A chilling glint flashed in Lin Yiwan's eyes. She was right; the disappearance of Min Xiang and his mother was related to the Grand Master of Destiny, Min De.

Unfortunately, his status and position were extremely valuable in the Kingdom of Li.

Not easy to deal with!

It seems that her and Zhan Yan's primary task is to find a new navigator familiar with the country.

King Wu was not stupid; he could tell that Zhan Yan and Lin Yiwan probably suspected Min De.

He couldn't help but remind her, "Min De is the Grand Master of Destiny. His words carry more weight than mine as the King. When my sister was the Holy Maiden, she might have been able to contend with him, but now she has become Lady Min!"

Zhan Yan and Lin Yiwan immediately understood that Min De was above the imperial power.

However, this does not mean that he can do whatever he wants!

They dared to plot against their mother; they were truly audacious!

Before Lin Yiwan could speak, she heard hurried footsteps outside, and then Granny Jixiang came in and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Grand Master of Destiny has heard that two distinguished guests have arrived and wishes to summon them!"

Zhan Yan frowned deeply: "He has such an air about him, daring to summon me. Go back and tell him that my wife and I do not wish to see him, and that he should give up on the idea!"

“This!” Granny Jixiang looked at King Wu with a troubled expression.

Lin Yiwan scolded, "What are you looking at him for? He can't make decisions for me and Zhan Yihou!"

Granny Jixiang was startled. She hurriedly replied, "Yes, this servant will go to the Heavenly Mandate Hall to report right away!"

After she left, King Wu awkwardly spoke up: "Ayan, don't let things get too tense with him. The Kingdom of Li still needs him to avoid good or bad fortune!"

Zhan Yan sneered: "It's because you're afraid of him that you've raised him to be so ignorant of his own worth. If it were before, wouldn't you have run to him eagerly at his summons?"

King Wu rubbed his hands together: "It's not that bad!"

Zhan Yan stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Uncle, from now on, you need to stand up straight. You are the king of Li Kingdom, not Min De's lackey!"

The King of Wu said awkwardly, "That description is a bit excessive. I still have some authority in front of him!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than footsteps sounded outside.

Zhan Yan and Lin Yiwan looked over and saw a man dressed in a white brocade robe slowly walking over. He looked somewhat like Min Ao, but was unusually thin.

In particular, the sinister look between his brows was like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, making people feel extremely disgusted.

Lin Yi-wan disliked his appearance, finding him too sinister.

Min De seemed oblivious to the scrutiny in the couple's eyes. He simply narrowed his eerie phoenix eyes and said, "Having heard that two noble ladies from the Sheng Dynasty have entered the palace, Min De has come here specifically to pay his respects!"

He spoke politely, but showed no respect for the two of them whatsoever, and didn't even offer a proper greeting.

Lin Yiwan couldn't stand it any longer, and she said sarcastically, "King of Wu, are the people of Li Kingdom really so ill-mannered? You come to pay your respects to me and Marquis Zhanyi, but you don't even bow your waist. You're putting on quite an air!"

King Wu's expression stiffened, and he subconsciously looked at Min De.

Min De curled his lips in a mocking smile, and immediately bowed, saying, "Grand Master Min De pays his respects to Marquis Zhanyi and his wife!"

Lin Yiwan smiled with narrowed eyes: "That's more like it. A subject should act like a subject. Otherwise, outsiders might think that this Master Min has rebellious intentions and wants to step on the head of the King of Wu!"

Upon hearing this, a flash of murderous intent appeared in Min De's eyes.

However, he managed to conceal it well in a short time.

He even said in a flustered voice, "Your Majesty, I dare not. It was I who forgot the rules. Please forgive me!"

King Wu waved his hand: "Get up first. What is it that made you come in such a hurry?"

Min De then straightened up and said, "Hearing that Marquis Zhanyi is going to sea to search for someone, I have specially sent a very excellent navigator. He is very familiar with the seas and can guarantee your safety!"

Alarm bells rang in Lin Yiwan's mind. This wasn't sending the navigator off; it was probably sending her and Zhan Yan to the underworld!

She wouldn't dare take it!

She said coldly, "It seems the Fate Master will have made a wasted trip. We have already found a suitable Navigator, so you don't need to worry about it!"

Min De blinked his alluring eyes and asked in confusion, "Where did the Lady of the Marquis find a navigator? As far as I know, all the experienced sea navigators in the Kingdom of Li serve in my Heavenly Mandate Palace!"
