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

Zi'er's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and her hair clung to her cheeks, making her look somewhat disheveled. Hu Tianyi was in no better shape; his robes were torn in several places, and the blood seeping from the wounds stained his clothes. His breathing also became heavy.

"Little girl, let's see how long you can last!" Hu Tianyi grinned maliciously, suddenly changing his moves. Instead of relentlessly hacking away, he crossed his two axes in front of him and approached Zi'er step by step, trying to reduce her space to move.

Zi'er knew this was a desperate act by her opponent; if she were cornered, defeat was inevitable. She took a deep breath and decided to take the risk. She deliberately exposed an opening, revealing her right shoulder to him, while her long sword quietly fell and was hidden in her sleeve.

Upon seeing this, Hu Tianyi's eyes flashed with wild joy. He roared and raised his large axe to chop at Zi'er's right shoulder. At this critical moment, Zi'er suddenly turned to the side and thrust out the long sword hidden in her sleeve, aiming straight for Hu Tianyi's heart.

At the same time, Lin Yiwan seized the opportunity, gripped the short dagger, and stabbed it fiercely towards Hu Tianyi's back!

Hu Tianyi's attention was completely drawn to Zi'er's sword, and he was completely unaware of the murderous intent behind him.

Lin Yiwan's palms were drenched in cold sweat as she gripped the short dagger. She stared intently at the opening in Hu Tianyi's back, and with all her might, lunged forward. The poisoned dagger, incredibly sharp, pierced his flesh with a sharp, whistling sound.

"Uh!"

Hu Tianyi let out a muffled groan as excruciating pain spread throughout his body down his spine, freezing him in mid-air. A cold glint flashed in Zi'er's eyes; with a flick of her wrist, her longsword pierced his heart like a meteor.

Warm blood spurted out, splashing all over Lin Yiwan and Zi'er's bodies and faces.

Hu Tianyi stared wide-eyed, his bloodshot eyes widening in disbelief as he looked down at the sword tip protruding from his chest. He then slowly turned to look at Lin Yiwan behind him. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but only spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. His burly body crashed to the ground, splashing dirty water everywhere.

Lin Yiwan staggered back two steps, her hand slipped, and the short dagger clattered to the ground.

Looking at Hu Tianyi lying dead on the ground with his eyes wide open, she felt a wave of nausea and couldn't help but lean against the wall and dry heave.

Zi'er quickly drew her longsword, shook off the blood droplets, and hurried to Lin Yiwan's side. She patted her back and asked with concern, "Madam, are you alright?"

Lin Yiwan waved her hand, and it took her a while to suppress the metallic taste in her throat.

She turned to the bandits who were retreating in fear and asked, "Who dares to come up?"

She was covered in blood, like a demon crawling out of hell.

The bandits, who already knew the two women were no ordinary girls, were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground and shouted, "We dare not!"

Lin Yiwan frowned; her grandfather's injury couldn't be delayed.

She can't leave yet!

She quickly said, "Two people, carry my grandfather to a clean yard. I need to treat his wounds!"

Several bandits stepped forward and quickly carried the old doctor Lin away.

Lin Yiwan helped him clean and treat his wounds, and by the time she finished, it was already late at night.

Zi'er walked in from outside and said, "Madam, Madam Hu wishes to see you!"

Lin Yiwan immediately frowned; she hadn't yet figured out how to deal with the mother and son.

After a moment of silence, she said, "Please invite her in!"

Even though Madam Hu was still very weak, she still forced herself to bow and kneel before Lin Yiwan.

She said in a flustered voice, "This humble woman was unaware of the Lady of the Marquis's identity. Please forgive me, Lady of the Marquis!"

Lin Yiwan lowered her eyes and looked her over: "Hu Tianyi is dead, what are your plans?"

Madam Hu's tears flowed instantly, and she sobbed sadly, "I was originally abducted to the mountain by Hu Tianyi. At first, I resisted with all my might, but in the end, I was trapped by him in this Wolf Head Gang!"

As she spoke, she kowtowed heavily, her forehead hitting the blue brick with a dull thud.

Her voice was filled with a desperate, tearful lament: "I was born into a scholarly family in Jiangnan. Three years ago, I went north with my father and brother to visit relatives, but we were robbed on the way. My father and brother were killed by Hu Tianyi, and I was the only one who was kidnapped and forced to become his wife. Over the years, I have been walking on thin ice, hoping every day to escape this hellhole, but because I am pregnant, I can only endure the humiliation and live a life of hiding."

Lin Yiwan tapped her fingertips lightly on the table, her cold gaze sweeping over her pale face: "The Wolf Head Gang has committed numerous evils, their hands stained with the blood of innocent people. You were part of it, do you really have done nothing wrong?"

Madam Hu trembled, tears streaming down her face, but she stubbornly raised her head: "Madam Hou, please understand! Although I was trapped in the bandits' den, I never aided or abetted them! For the past three years, whenever any respectable women were abducted to the mountain, I secretly tried to help them, saving as many as I could! Even when Hu Tianyi tried to plunder the disaster relief grain from the foot of the mountain a few days ago, I pretended to be unwell and delayed for three days, which allowed the government to take precautions!"

Zi'er couldn't help but interject, "Madam, we vaguely heard some rumors about what she said when we were investigating down the mountain. They said that Madam Hu is a kind-hearted person."

Lin Yiwan did not budge. She stood up and walked slowly to Madam Hu, looking down at her: "What you're saying is just empty talk. Why should I believe you?"

Madam Hu suddenly pulled out a small jade pendant from her bosom, holding it high with both hands: "This is my father's heirloom, engraved with the clan emblem of my Shen family. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to Jiangnan to verify! Furthermore, in the Wolf Head Gang's warehouse, there are the stolen silver and lists that Hu Tianyi has amassed over the years. The lists record which officials he colluded with in the court, and I can identify them one by one!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yiwan's eyes finally showed a slight change. She had wiped out the Wolf Head Gang today to rescue her maternal grandfather, but she hadn't expected it to lead to a case of corruption in the court colluding with mountain bandits. The list in Madam Hu's hands was undoubtedly crucial evidence.

She bent down to help Madam Hu up, her tone softening slightly: "Please stand up and speak. You haven't recovered yet, so don't kneel."

When Mrs. Hu was helped up, her steps were unsteady, and she almost fell.

She bit her lip, her eyes filled with gratitude and fear: "Thank you for your kindness, Madam! I ask for nothing else but to spare my life and that of my young son. He was just born and has never done anything wrong! I am willing to offer the register with both hands, only asking to take him to live a secluded life in the countryside and never enter this turbulent world again!"

Lin Yiwan looked at the sleeping baby in her arms, whose delicate face still bore traces of tears, and her heart stirred slightly.

She remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded: "I need to consider this matter carefully before making a decision. You can stay here in peace, and once I have investigated everything, I will give you justice."
