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

Lin Yiwan frowned. Emperor Sheng'an was concerned about Zhan Yan, so he never announced Concubine Zhan's crimes to the public.

Now that she was dead, he ordered people to send her body to the clan.

Let the Zhan family handle it themselves!

Mrs. Lu said carefully, "Madam Hou, did the Imperial Concubine commit some crime, so the Emperor sent her body back to the clan? According to common custom, she was the Imperial Concubine of the current dynasty and should have been buried in the imperial mausoleum!"

Lin Yiwan interrupted without hesitation: "Aunt, be careful what you say. Since the royal family sent her body out, they must have their own considerations. How dare we speculate on the royal intentions?"

Mrs. Lu frowned: "Then should we bury her in our Zhan family's cemetery?"

Lin Yiwan nodded: "Well, just let the elders take care of it. Don't make it public, or you might upset the palace!"

Mrs. Lu waved her hand. "Of course it can't be publicized. I understand all this. But, Madam Hou, please allow me to say a few words. The Marquis is already quite old. At his age, children are already knee-high. You can't just leave him without a successor, can you?"

Lin Yiwan subconsciously frowned, but she still couldn't escape. Was he planning to force another child into her arms?

Why did she become a stepmother? Didn't she deserve to have her own child?

Mrs. Lu seemed not to notice her sudden darkening expression and continued, "It's the Fan family of the Prime Minister's Mansion in our capital. The young mistress had been childless for three years after entering the family, so she took the initiative to adopt a child for the eldest son. Not only was she praised by the Prime Minister's wife as a filial daughter-in-law, but she also earned the eldest son's respect even more!"

Lin Yiwan could hear that this was a subtle reminder for her to take the initiative to offer to adopt a child for Zhan Yan.

She lowered her eyes and chuckled softly, "I don't have a mother-in-law above me, so why should I be a filial daughter-in-law? It's not my fault that I have no children. Aunt, there's no need to worry about me. If there's nothing else, please go back!"

The woman standing next to Mrs. Lu's face suddenly changed. She spoke without hesitation, "Madam Hou, you can't say that. Even if there are no elders in the Marquis' Mansion, you should still respect the elders in the Zhan family. There are three kinds of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no descendants. As the mistress of the Marquis, you don't have a child to inherit the family lineage. Wouldn't that make you a laughing stock?"

Lin Yiwan blinked: "Who is this?"

Mrs. Lu quickly introduced: "This is my daughter-in-law, you should call her sister-in-law!"

Pang raised her chin in dissatisfaction: "It's only because my mother-in-law pities you that I tell you these heartfelt words. Otherwise, others will laugh at you!"

Madam Lu frowned and interrupted, "Please stop talking. I'm doing this for the good of our Zhan family. Marquis Zhan Yi has made great military achievements. How can we allow people to discredit him for not having an heir? Isn't that right, Madam?"

Lin Yiwan elegantly reached out and picked up the teacup, saying, "Auntie is right. He really shouldn't be laughed at for not having any children!"

Mrs. Lu's eyes lit up, and she asked tentatively, "Has the Marquis' wife agreed to find a child for the Marquis to adopt?"

Lin Yiwan looked at her in astonishment: "Why do you still want to adopt someone?"

Pang Shi said angrily, "Why is Madam Hou still playing dumb? Since you said you couldn't let the Marquis be laughed at by others, aren't you going to find him a child to adopt?"

She paused, and couldn't help but teasing with disdain: "Could it be that you can give birth to a child yourself?"

Lin Yiwan nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I plan to give birth to the baby myself!"

Madam Pang was furious. She quickly spoke, "Mother-in-law, let me tell you this. There is no woman in this world willing to marry a man who has been hurt by his roots, Marquis Zhan Yi. She can't stand the loneliness and wants to cuckold him!"

Mrs. Lu also said directly: "Madam Hou, you are too shameless. Even if you have your own child, our Zhan family will never recognize it!"

Lin Yiwan remained calm. She said in a distant tone, "Why should I ask you to recognize me? As long as my husband recognizes me, that's all that matters!"

Pang Shi was so angry at her attitude that she laughed. She was being so coquettish and slutty, yet she still dared to be so fearless?

She interrupted with disgust, "Impossible! How could the Marquis recognize a bastard as his stepson?"

Lin Yiwan's cold eyes suddenly fell on her face: "How could the child I raised as my own be a bastard? Isn't my own child good enough? Why do I have to look for a step-son with bad intentions outside?"

Mrs. Lu was so angry that her face turned ashen. She couldn't help but accuse him, "Your biological child is not Zhan Yan's. If he's not a bastard, then what is he? At least your stepson is of the Zhan family's bloodline!"

Lin Yiwan squinted her eyes sarcastically: "I just can't figure it out. What does your Zhan family's bloodline have to do with me? Why do you want me to raise it?"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were stunned by the question, their faces flushed and they were speechless.

After all, it was Pang who reacted first. She quickly said, "It has nothing to do with you, but he is a blood relative of the Marquis. No matter what, he is the most outstanding young man in our Zhan family!"

Lin Yiwan asked doubtfully, "Are you related to him by blood?"

Pang touched her nose guiltily: "Not entirely, but it's better than looking for a wild man to borrow sperm. If you do this, you will be struck by lightning and kicked out of our Zhan family for being a promiscuous woman!"

Lin Yiwan didn't say anything, but Zhan Yan's cold voice suddenly came from outside: "Who said she was going out to find a wild man to borrow sperm?"

Mrs. Lu was shocked and spoke quickly, "My Lord, you're back just in time. We were discussing your offspring with the Marquis' wife, and she insisted on raising her own child. We all know your condition very well. If she's not going out to borrow sperm, what else could it be?"

Pang Shi also echoed: "Yes, Lord, our Zhan family is clean and honest, how can we tolerate such a shameless and slutty woman?"

Zhan Yan's expression suddenly darkened, and he shouted angrily, "Do you think you can insult the current Madam Renshan so freely?"

Mrs. Lu quickly tried to smooth things over: "My Lord, please don't bother with her. Although her words are harsh, they do make some sense. The Marquis's wife is crazy and has a rude behavior. She is truly unworthy of being the wife of our Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion!"

Zhan Yan spoke without hesitation: "Now that things have come to this, Yinghun, go and invite the elders of the clan. This marquis will completely resolve the issue of the marquis's heir!"

"Yes!" Shadow Soul responded and left quickly.

Pang looked at Lu and a knowing look appeared on her face.

Soon, the clan elder hurried over, followed by several respected elders of the Zhan family.

He said respectfully, "My Lord, I wonder if you have anything to tell us to do by calling us here?"

Zhan Yan said, "This Marquis wants you to be witnesses and completely resolve the issue of the Marquis's family having no heirs!"

The elder's shrewd face was immediately filled with joy. It seemed that his wife had persuaded the Marquis to choose a young man to adopt from the clan.

He spoke quickly, "Then I'll call all those young men over and let the Marquis carefully choose them!"
