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

Min De stared wide-eyed, secretly cursing himself for being careless. If he had known that Lin Yiwan would poison him without his knowledge, he should have killed her first.

But now, it's too late to say anything.

He had no other choice but to submit to her threats.

He reached out and pulled the mechanism hard, and a drawbridge descended onto the raging lava.

With red eyes, he said, "Get over here right now!"

Lin Yiwan quickly jumped off the suspension bridge and became alert.

Min Ao also became more cautious. He tied the rope he carried with him to a pillar before stepping onto the suspension bridge.

As the suspension bridge creaked and groaned its way toward the other side, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Sure enough, just as they were about to reach a safe place, Min De's face suddenly turned into a ferocious, crazed expression.

He said sneer, "Do you really think I'll let you off the hook?"

Min De suddenly pulled the rope hidden in the mechanism, and the originally stable suspension bridge suddenly shook violently. The rope under the wooden planks snapped, and several planks fell directly into the raging lava below. The debris, accompanied by the sound of the wind, crashed down on the group.

"Come and die with me!" His eyes gleamed with destructive pleasure as he flung out a pre-prepared dagger with his other hand, aiming straight for Lin Yiwan, who was closest to him.

Lin Yiwan was prepared. In the instant she dodged the blade, she drew her short sword from her waist, the blade grazing the other short sword, sparks flying. She stood on the few remaining rickety footholds, her voice icy: "You think you can trap us like this?"

Min Ao reacted quickly, gripping the rope tied to the pillar tightly with one hand and pulling the saintess who was about to lose her balance with the other, and said in a deep voice: "Hold on! His trap can only damage the bridge surface. Once we reach the other side, we'll be safe!"

The suspension bridge continued to break, the gaps widening. Min De laughed maniacally, pressing closer with each step: "Safety? This raging lava is your doom! You really think I care about that throne? When I die, someone else will inherit it!"

Lin Yiwan had long anticipated that he might perish together with her, so she didn't hesitate any longer and quickly looked at Zhan Yan: "Ayan, quickly throw me over there with all your might. We can't let him destroy the mechanism before he dies, otherwise, we'll be completely doomed!"

A hint of hesitation flashed across Zhan Yan's face, after all, they were still some distance from a safe place.

He doesn't dare to gamble!

Lin Yiwan frowned and urged, "What are you still hesitating for? The suspension bridge is about to collapse, and we'll all die anyway!"

Zhan Yan turned to look at Min Ao and his mother, who were still putting on a brave face, before hugging Lin Yiwan tightly.

By this time, Min De had struggled to his feet and his hand was already gripping the mechanism.

He screamed hoarsely, "Destroy!"

Almost instantly, the suspension bridge plummeted vertically downwards.

Lin Yiwan was also thrown out at the same time, but she grabbed the mechanism and managed to stop the suspension bridge from falling.

Zhan Yan and Min Ao were both terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat. They were just a hair's breadth away from being swallowed by the raging lava.

Lin Yiwan didn't dare to delay and immediately pulled the mechanism rope with all her might.

At this moment, Min De had already stood up unsteadily. He was covered in blood, and even his eyes had turned crimson.

He said sneer, "You still want to save them? Don't even dream about it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Lin Yiwan's arm tightly.

Lin Yiwan kicked him to the ground, but he was like an unkillable cockroach, immediately clinging to her again.

The suspension bridge was creaking and making warning noises due to unstable tension.

Lin Yiwan's eyes were filled with a chilling aura. She quickly took out a silver needle and stabbed it fiercely into Min De's eyes.

He screamed in pain, and taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Yiwan pulled the suspension bridge to the top without hesitation.

Min Ao helped the Holy Maiden down, and with a face full of anger, lifted Min De up with one hand.

He sobbed and cried out, "Brother, it hurts so much! Please save me! I'm your own brother, you can't just watch me die!"

Min Aocai didn't believe his nonsense; he absolutely couldn't let any future troubles arise.

He spoke coldly, "Ade, as your brother, the only thing I can give you is a quick and painless death!"

Min De asked in terror, "What do you want to do? Min Ao, do you want to kill me? How will you explain this to the Min clan members outside?"

Min Ao ignored him and threw him into the raging lava.

"Ah!" Min De let out a shrill scream the moment he fell.

But moments later, he was burned to ashes.

Min Ao took a deep breath and said, "We shouldn't stay here any longer, let's leave quickly!"

The group followed the secret passage out, while Xie Jianshu, who remained outside, also encountered trouble.

Many men in black attacked them, and he protected Zhan Miao and Zhan Qingning as they retreated to a side hall of the palace.

Because there were so many men in black, they were all scattered by the crowd.

Just as Zhan Miao led Zhan Xiaobai into the Imperial Garden, they heard hurried footsteps behind them.

She instinctively turned her head, and an unbearable pain shot through her neck.

Her eyes rolled back, and she immediately fainted.

When she opened her eyes again, she heard the black wind whipping up fallen leaves and crashing against the dilapidated wooden window, making a mournful, ghostly wail.

She was tightly bound to a cold stone pillar with thick hemp rope, her wrists and ankles were rubbed raw and bleeding, and her mouth was stuffed with a rag soaked in the smell of dirt, making it difficult for her to even whimper.

She struggled for a few moments before a piercing pain struck.

She was so frightened that she immediately stopped what she was doing!

She turned to look around and saw that the hall was lit by candlelight. In the dim light, several masked men were pacing back and forth, holding ghost-head knives.

The cold sound of the blade slicing through the air, mixed with their low, sinister laughter, sent chills down her spine like the forked tongue of a venomous snake.

She couldn't help but wonder, where exactly is this?

A foul stench suddenly filled her nose, causing her to instinctively turn around and see a pile of blackened bones in the corner.

Unidentified black insects crawled rustling through the decaying grass, and a stench of fish and mold hit her, making her stomach churn.

Suddenly, the palace door was pushed open from the outside, and she saw a familiar figure.

The girl who had asked to go out to sea with her mother that day was named Min Yue.

Zhan Miao narrowed his eyes: "Why are you arresting me? I have no grudge against you!"

Min Yue spoke gently: "You have no grudge against me, but who made you a daughter of the Zhan family? Your father has the national seal of our Li Kingdom, and your value lies in exchanging the national seal for it!"

Zhan Miao froze. What was this "national seal"? She had no idea what it was.

She blurted out instinctively, "Whose influence have you been misled by? How could my father possess the national seal of your Li Kingdom? You'd better let me go right now, or my father and mother will never let you off the hook!"

The gentleness on Min Yue's face shattered instantly, replaced by an almost twisted obsession. She slowly walked up to Zhan Miao, her slender white fingers gently stroking the cold stone pillar. When her fingertips touched the blood beads that Zhan Miao had seeped on it, she revealed a sickly smile.

"Zhan Yihou is truly capable. Back then, our Wu Kingdom's ruler handed over the national seal to him, saying that one of his sons would inherit the throne of Li Kingdom. Everyone in Li Kingdom knows about this."
