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

Without saying a word, she turned around and left quickly, dragging Madam Hu.

Defei's face suddenly changed. She must not let this matter come to the attention of the emperor. If he investigated it, it would surely make him unhappy.

Without hesitation, she quickly stopped him: "Stop! Maybe someone stole my jade pendant and is misrepresenting my orders?"

Lin Yiwan paused and said, "Then Her Majesty Defei must thoroughly investigate who is taking advantage of the situation!"

Concubine De looked at Madam Hu gloomily and said, "Tell me, what did the person who gave you the jade pendant look like?"

Nanny Hu glanced at her subconsciously and understood what she was hinting at.

She quickly lowered her eyes and said, "He looks a bit like the person standing next to Concubine De!"

Lin Yiwan looked over at her side in confusion and blurted out, "It's actually Madam Du? What hatred, what grudge? You actually faked Concubine De's order to release a madman from the cold palace to murder me?"

Madam Du Hou almost fell to the ground. She argued anxiously: "How could it be me? I didn't hurt you. The person next to Concubine De was not me at all!"

She turned around and looked around, only to find that several maids had retreated far away, and she was the only one left!

Her face suddenly turned ugly purple. Was she going to take the blame?

Woo woo woo, she doesn’t want to!

She swallowed hard and said, "Madam Zhanhou has misunderstood. Ask Madam Hu again. She definitely didn't take the jade pendant from me!"

Lin Yiwan lowered her eyes and looked at Madam Hu: "Please tell me clearly, is it Madam Du Hou?"

Madam Hu closed her eyes and said, "It was her. She gave me the jade pendant and told me to release Concubine Rong from the cold palace and tell her that you stole her child!"

Before Madam Du could say anything, she heard Concubine De speak in dissatisfaction: "Sister-in-law, why are you so confused? Even if you are angry that Madam Zhan implicated mother, you shouldn't deliberately murder her!"

Mrs. Du Hou's heart sank. If she had known that she would be seen in the play, she should have left early.

She pleaded with tears in her eyes: "Madam Zhan Hou, please don't be angry with me. Please forgive me this time, okay? I just want to teach you a lesson. I don't want to do anything to you!"

Lin Yiwan curled her lips and sneered. After being reborn, she was really used to seeing this kind of mouth.

When he is proud, he is arrogant and domineering, acting like I am your father!

When the truth was revealed, he burst into tears, acting like you were his ancestor!

Concubine De also spoke up immediately: "Madam Zhan Hou, please don't bother with her for my sake. When she returns to the Huaiyang Marquis Mansion, I will definitely let my mother teach her a lesson!"

Lin Yiwan said with a smile, "I wanted to give you face, Concubine De, but I was almost killed by a mad woman. Who can compensate me for the harm I suffered?"

Concubine De gritted her teeth in anger. This bitch Lin Yiwan was going to force the Huaiyang Marquis's Mansion to bleed heavily.

How could there be such a shameless woman in this world?

Why doesn't she die?

After thinking for a long time, she finally squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "Lin Yiwan, how do you plan to ask Madam Du to compensate you?"

The reason she said this was because she still wanted to remove Madam Du from the Huaiyang Marquis's Mansion.

If Lin Yiwan's conditions were not so harsh, she would have agreed directly.

If she asks for too much, then Lady Du will have to bear it alone.

Lin Yiwan understood her thoughts and immediately exposed her: "What the Empress Defei said is interesting. Do you think Madam Du Hou could do such a thing? The cold palace is not something that anyone can enter!"

Concubine De gnashed her teeth in hatred. She was very annoyed at being manipulated by Lin Yiwan again.

But she couldn't say anything to refute it!

She took a deep breath and said, "Lin Yiwan, let's get straight to the point. What compensation do you want?"

Lin Yiwan spoke without hesitation: "I want the Huaiyang Marquisate to compensate me with 500,000 taels of silver!"

Defei's whole body was shaken so violently that she almost fell headfirst to the ground.

Her eyes widened in disbelief. "Lin Yiwan, do you think the Huaiyang Marquisate is the national treasury? Can they just casually take out 500,000 taels of silver?"

Lin Yiwan nodded. "I know you're in a difficult situation, so I figured I'd go to the Emperor to seek justice. After all, I've already cured Rongpin's madness, and she can clearly remember who provoked her!"

Concubine De bit her lips tightly, and the veins on her forehead bulged violently with anger.

Madam Du was terrified. She shook her head vigorously and said, "Madam Zhan, please be kind and stop forcing our Huaiyang Marquisate like this. Even if we sell everything we have, we can't even come up with the money!"

Lin Yiwan narrowed her eyes and smiled, "It's really hard for the Huaiyang Marquisate to come up with this, but don't you have relatives by marriage? For example, the Ye family in Lingnan City, you can borrow some from them!"

Concubine De interrupted without hesitation: "No, the Ye family is far away in Lingnan City, and life is not easy. How can we borrow money from them?"

Lin Yiwan spread her hands innocently: "Then I have no choice. It's getting late, and I won't disturb the Empress Defei. I will take Madam Hu and Concubine Rong to find the Emperor and let him make the decision for me!"

Seeing that she was about to leave, Concubine De gave a stern order: "Come here, block the door and don't let them take a single step out!"

Lin Yiwan stood at the door and saw many maids and palace servants blocking the way outside.

She asked in surprise, "Is Concubine De planning to silence me?"

De Fei said angrily: "Lin Yiwan, you forced me to do this. How dare you ask for five hundred thousand taels of silver!"

Lin Yiwan said calmly, "Your Highness, please think twice before you act. Do you think I came to your palace to ask for an explanation without making any plans? If I'm not mistaken, the Saint of Li Country must have already reported my attack to the Emperor!"

Concubine De was shaking all over, and her already pale face looked even more bloodless.

She angrily asked, "Lin Yiwan, why do you insist on killing everyone?"

Lin Yiwan calmly replied, "I didn't. If it wasn't for Concubine De who sent someone to attack me first, how could I ask you for compensation?"

Defei almost bit her tongue. She really regretted releasing the crazy woman from the cold palace to assassinate Lin Yiwan.

Now, she is using this to threaten to pay compensation of 500,000 taels of silver!

That's an impossible number to come up with!

She quickly softened her tone and pleaded, "Lin Yiwan, please beg me. Five hundred thousand taels of silver is too much. How about one hundred thousand taels? I'll ask my sister-in-law to go back and get it for you right now!"

Marquis Du's wife nodded hurriedly, "Yes, if the Marquis's Mansion can't come up with the money, I will return to my parents' home. After all, I can guarantee that the 100,000 taels of silver will be delivered to you before dawn!"
