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

Wueryun didn't hesitate any longer and opened the box without hesitation.

There was nothing inside except a few pieces of ice.

She murmured in shock: "How could this happen? Why is there nothing?"

Lin Yiwan narrowed her eyes and asked, "Why would there be one? She clearly saw it wrong, yet Concubine Yun still holds out such high hopes of getting it back. What exactly do you want to do with the poisonous ice toad?"

Wueryun's heart sank. He must not let Lin Yiwan find out the secret of the poisonous ice toad.

Otherwise, her sin would be serious!

She interrupted impatiently: "Forget it if there is none. I was just instigated by a villain. Why should the Marquis Madam be so fussy?"

Just one sentence scared Cao Aiwen out of his wits.

She fell to her knees and begged, "Your Majesty, spare me. I didn't mean to slander the Marquis' wife. She must have hidden the poisonous ice toad somewhere else, so we didn't find it on her!"

Emperor Sheng An angrily rebuked: "Enough! Am I too merciful? I'm letting you two act so recklessly!"

The Defei who was attacked by the Yin and Yang shuddered all over. She clenched her fingers tightly and dared not say a word.

Cao Aiwen kowtowed continuously, and did not dare to stop even though bruises appeared on his brows.

At the critical moment, no one dared to plead for her.

Even her biological father had his wrist tightly grasped by Su Zining.

She whispered a warning, "Sir, don't lose the big picture for the sake of the small. I didn't approve of the eldest lady seeking revenge on the Marquis' wife, but she refused to listen and said she was absolutely sure of it. Now look, she's got herself into trouble!"

Minister Cao's face was filled with uneasiness. He said sadly, "But that's my daughter. I raised her with great difficulty. How can I just stand by and watch her die?"

Su Zining said, "As long as the Marquis doesn't pursue the matter and won't kill her, the Emperor will at most punish her!"

Minister Cao nodded subconsciously: "Now I just hope she can help plead for mercy!"

A hint of sarcasm suddenly flashed in Su Zining's eyes, and he thought, are you dreaming?

Lin Yiwan won't help plead!

Your daughter will definitely die!

You don't even know that it was me who instigated your daughter to risk her own life, letting her keep an eye on Lin Yiwan and then inform Empress Yunfei!

All of this was within my calculations!

It won’t be bad for me if your daughter becomes successful!

Your daughter's failure will only benefit me!

She felt so happy when she thought that she would no longer be bullied by this evil woman in the mansion.

Minister Cao had no idea that the people around him were thinking so much. He only heard the emperor shouting, "Come here! The daughter of the Cao family has slandered the wife of the current marquis. This is a crime of aggravated severity. Drag her out and beat her to death!"

His eyes suddenly widened, and he saw Cao Aiwen, his face covered in blood, crying out to him, "Dad, save me! Please save me!"

Minister Cao quickly stood up and, with the support of Su Zining, came before Emperor Sheng'an.

He knelt respectfully on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, my daughter has done something wrong. It is only right that you punish her. Perhaps you cannot spare her life?"

Su Zining also knelt before Lin Yiwan and said, "Madam Hou, please plead for mercy for our eldest daughter. She is young and impetuous. Don't bother with her. If she hadn't owed you thirty thousand taels of silver, she wouldn't hold such a grudge against you!"

Lin Yiwan raised the corner of her lips in sarcasm. As expected, a dog will always eat shit. Su Zining even wanted to throw dirty water on her.

It implies that she was the one who plotted against Cao Aiwen first, which prompted her to take revenge.

Lin Yiwan interrupted without hesitation, "Madam Su, I warned you before. As her foster nanny, you should have taught her to be a kind person, instead of always being so clever and calculating as to deceive others. Tell me yourself, from the 30,000 taels of silver from the Jinlou to today's gambling with her life, which one, which one, wasn't she the one who started it all?"

Su Zining's face suddenly turned red. Lin Yiwan's words really put all the blame on her.

Even Minister Cao was furious. He raised his hand and slapped Su Zining hard in the face, saying, "How did you raise your daughter? You are responsible for Aiwen's current situation!"

Su Zining sobbed and argued, "Master, I don't have any!"

Emperor Sheng An interrupted irritably, "How can I allow you to cause such a disturbance at my wedding banquet? Come, drag this man and woman away and give them thirty lashes as punishment!"

Minister Cao's expression changed drastically. He pleaded in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Please calm down!"

Many guards came forward and dragged all three of them away.

Cao Aiwen looked at Lin Yiwan with tears on his face, his eyes filled with hatred.

She gnashed her teeth and cursed, "Lin Yiwan, even if I become a ghost, I will never let you go!"

Emperor Sheng An was immediately enraged. "Stop! Caning her to death would be a mercy. I originally thought she would repent, but now it seems she's completely evil. I'll just send her to the Beast Garden and let those vicious beasts tear her apart alive. Then, throw her bones into a fire pit and let her turn to ashes. Then see how she can seek revenge as a ghost."

Upon hearing such a horrific punishment, everyone present turned pale with rage.

Isn’t the emperor too protective of the Marquis’ wife?

For her, he even went so far as to destroy the legitimate daughter of the Cao family!

This marquis' wife is not someone you want to mess with. It's better to stay away from her in the future to avoid getting into trouble!

Lin Yiwan remained calm amidst everyone's awe-inspiring gazes.

She felt that Cao Aiwen deserved it!

A stupid and vicious person will only be used as a scapegoat while he is alive!

When the hall fell silent, Emperor Sheng An finally spoke: "The wedding banquet continues!"

Everyone was laughing and talking happily again, except for Concubine De, who had a bitter look on her face, and her eyes were full of anxiety and uneasiness.

She didn't know who the Queen was going to give the management of the Noble Ladies' Academy to. That was a chess game she had worked so hard to set up, and she couldn't hand it over so easily.

Even if it is handed over, it must be handed over to our own people!

She raised her eyes and saw the wife of the Marquis of Huaiyang, and a hint of calculation flashed in her eyes.

She didn't hesitate any longer and quickly told the old lady beside her.

Soon, the wedding banquet ended, and the Queen left Chunqiu Palace with her husband and Lin Yiwan.

When the three of them came to the bottom of the corridor, they found that the steps were suddenly covered with water stains.

*** subconsciously grasped the Queen's wrist and said, "I wonder which lazy palace maid forgot to mop the floor. What if you slip on these wet steps?"

Before the queen could say anything, she heard someone behind her say, "Madam Zhan Hou, please stay!"

Lin Yiwan turned around in surprise: "Madam Du Hou? What do you want?"

In a flash, the queen somehow missed a step and fell forward uncontrollably.

Lin Yiwan's expression suddenly changed. She was closest to the girl, so she subconsciously reached out to grab her hand.

However, Mrs. Du, Marquis of Huaiyang, rushed forward directly and intended to serve as a human shield for the queen.

In the blink of an eye, a figure appeared who ran faster than her. The man hugged the queen and quickly pulled her back into the flowers beside her.
