Lin Yiwan shook her head. "Those were all assassins. After the mission failed, no one was left alive. But the Marquis has already vaguely guessed who was responsible!"

Sang Qiutang's eyes widened in surprise: "Who is it?"

Lin Yiwan uttered a name faintly: "Ye Tianqing!"

Sang Qiutang's expression darkened immediately. She frowned and asked, "What exactly do the Ye family want to do? Your uncle is an official appointed by the imperial court, and General Li is the commander of the imperial guards. He killed people so ruthlessly. Could it be that he wants to rebel?"

Lin Yiwan lowered her eyes and sneered, "Yes, he wants to rebel, but the time is not yet ripe!"

Sang Qiutang couldn't help but gasp. She said anxiously, "Wanwan, is the Ye family targeting you and your uncle? Aren't you in danger?"

Lin Yiwan shook her head. "They didn't target my uncle, so they must have targeted me, right? They think I've become a stumbling block for them. After all, I've extorted quite a bit of money from Concubine De!"

Sang Qiutang asked curiously, "How much?"

Lin Yiwan pondered, "All together, it must be seven hundred thousand taels, right?"

Sang Qiutang's expression suddenly changed. This was a huge fortune.

No wonder Ye Tianqing would do something desperate!

It turned out that Lin Yiwan had really poked his lung.

She said cheerfully, "Wanwan did a good job. She made Ye Tianqing lose all his money. How could he harbor any thoughts of rebellion again?"

Lin Yiwan sighed, "However, the Ye family and the Huaiyang Marquisate might hold a grudge against me, and you and your uncle will also be implicated!"

Sang Qiutang shook his head vigorously: "I'm not afraid of being implicated. No matter what happens, your uncle and I will support you and be your strongest backing!"

Lin Yiwan reached out and hugged her: "Qiu Tang, you are so kind!"

Sang Qiutang patted her back shyly. "Wanwan, you know I don't have any friends in the capital with my personality. It was you who saved me from this terrible situation. From now on, my life belongs to you!"

Lin Yiwan was moved, she knew that Sang Qiutang was a man of his words.

She pulled out a stack of banknotes from her sleeve and said, "Here, this is for you. I'll donate this money to the charity to make the lives of those helpless children better!"

Sang Qiutang looked down and saw that it was actually a hundred thousand taels of silver.

She waved her hands hurriedly: "No, no, Wanwan, these banknotes are too much, they can't be used at all!"

Lin Yiwan stuffed it into her hand and said, "You haven't even heard me finish, how do you know it can't be used?"

Sang Qiutang blushed and said, "Then tell me!"

Lin Yiwan pondered, "A child's future is immeasurable, so we can't just limit them to learning painting. We should also let them master more talents, such as martial arts, medicine, and literature. What do you think?"

Sang Qiutang's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea. Master said the same thing before, but we really can't find a good husband for them, so we can only put this idea on hold!"

Lin Yiwan patted her chest and said, "Please leave it to me, sir. My grandfather can be the doctor, and as for the literary master? I think the great scholar Xiao Rui is the most suitable!"

Sang Qiutang was shocked when he heard this: "Wanwan, Mr. Xiao is the president of the Imperial College. How can he teach the children of the charity hall? Let's find another candidate!"

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but frown. Why couldn't the dean of the Imperial College teach ordinary children?

She doesn't think those noble sons from aristocratic families are that powerful!

She remembered that in her previous life, students from the Li Kingdom and the Sheng Dynasty had an academic challenge. Those noble sons from aristocratic families were defeated, and Emperor Sheng An was humiliated.

According to the current time calculation, by the end of the year, I am afraid that the students from Li Country will come to challenge.

As long as the children of the charity hall are trained as soon as possible, they will eventually crush the noble sons of the Imperial College and become the rising stars of the prosperous dynasty.

Sang Qiutang noticed something was wrong with Lin Yiwan's eyes and couldn't help but reach out and push her: "Wanwan? What's wrong with you?"

She said without hesitation: "It's okay, I was just thinking about how to get Xiao Rui to work as a teacher at the charity hall!"

Sang Qiutang couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Don't even think about it. Xiao Rui is a great scholar in the court, and he has a very strange temper. Isn't it said that even the emperor dare not force him to do something he doesn't like?"

Lin Yiwan frowned. "Everyone has their weaknesses. I don't believe he's so stubborn!"

Sang Qiutang knew that she was stubborn and would do whatever she decided to do.

Even if I get a bloody head, I will never back down.

She had no choice but to remind him: "Master met him once before, and he said that he was still unmarried at the age of thirty, and only had an old mother to rely on!"

Lin Yiwan's eyes lit up. She thought she could start with his mother.

She is so smart and clever that she is loved by the elders.

She raised the corners of her lips confidently and pulled Sang Qiutang into the house without hesitation.

He stayed at the Lin Mansion until very late before leaving, but was taken directly to the pleasure boat by Zhan Yan.

Another night of tossing and turning made Lin Yiwan extremely tired.

The next day, she met Zhan Yan's somewhat resentful eyes.

She couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? You're the one who's almost chewed me to pieces, and yet you still look like you've been wronged?"

Zhan Yan was silent for a moment before he spoke softly, "Wanwan, do you dislike me because I'm a warrior?"

Lin Yiwan frowned immediately: "What do you mean?"

She felt that Zhan Yan was a little stronger and his movements were a little rougher, but it was still within her tolerable range.

I really don't dislike him!

He mustered up a lot of courage before speaking: "Then why did you call the Right Prime Minister's name last night?"

Lin Yiwan's eyes suddenly widened. Oh my God, did she make such a serious mistake?

No wonder Zhan Yan had a gloomy face. It turned out that she actually called someone else's name. It was really outrageous.

No, wait, who is the right prime minister of this dynasty?

She doesn't know at all!

She said in confusion, "Husband? I don't even know who the Right Prime Minister is, so how could I call him by his name? Please don't accuse me!"

Zhan Yan squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Xiao Rui!"

Lin Yiwan, who had just picked up the tea to moisten her throat, spit it all out, soiling the clean clothes that Zhan Yan had just changed into.

He raised his hand to wipe it, and his handsome face became even darker.

Lin Yiwan quickly explained, "You really misunderstood. The reason I was talking about him was because I wanted to invite him to the charity to be a teacher and teach the children!"

After hearing her words, Zhan Yan's expression looked a little better.

He frowned and said, "From what I know, Xiao Rui has a very strange temper. How could he agree to teach the children in the charity hall?"

Lin Yiwan sighed, "That's why I'm worried. I was thinking of starting with his mother, but I'm not sure if it will work!"

Zhan Yan interrupted without hesitation: "He's not the only learned scholar in the court, so why do you only want to invite him?"
