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

Zhan Yan was stunned, Qiu Tang?

That's Wanwan's good friend, he really can't just stand by and watch her die!

Without any hesitation, he ran towards the lotus pond.

He looked up and saw a figure floating up and down on the vast water.

She also screamed in a shrill voice: "Help, help me!"

Zhan Yan didn't hesitate any longer and jumped into the water.

However, when he swam closer, he realized that the woman was not Sang Qiutang at all, but Ye Ling, whom he hated the most.

Without saying a word, he turned around and swam away quickly.

Ye Ling, who was still shouting and about to pounce on him, was stunned. She never expected that Zhan Yan would actually watch her die without helping.

He just turned around and left!

He is really cruel!

After Zhan Yan hurriedly got ashore, he went straight to the imperial study, and no matter how the palace maid tried to stop him, she couldn't.

At this time, Emperor Sheng'an was discussing with Prime Minister Min whether to release Concubine Yun from the laundry palace. He heard that she was very miserable in there and her hands were rubbed to pieces.

He was startled when he suddenly saw Zhan Yan rushing in, all wet.

He asked in surprise, "Is it raining so hard outside? Are you soaked through?"

Zhan Yan knelt before him and said, "Your Majesty, I beg you to strip me of my title. I will take Wanwan with me and leave the capital, and return home!"

Min Ao spoke first: "Marquis Zhan Yi, what injustice have you suffered? You have made great military achievements for the Sheng Dynasty. The emperor will definitely not sit idly by!"

Emperor Sheng An's face darkened slightly. Putting aside the fact that Zhan Yan was his good brother, there were outsiders present, and he absolutely could not show any disrespect to the good general.

He quickly stood up, walked around the desk, and walked quickly to Zhan Yan. He helped him up and said, "Tell me, what happened to make you so embarrassed?"

Zhan Yan said aggrievedly, "Someone plotted against me. She pretended to be a noble lady from the Sang family who had fallen into the water, tricking me into rescuing her. But when I got closer, she turned out to be Ye Ling, the daughter of City Lord Ye!"

Min Ao immediately said: "Oh, this method is really dirty!"

Emperor Sheng An was also furious. He shouted, "Come here, bring Concubine De and her sister into the imperial study!"

Not long after, Defei and Ye Ling arrived with anxious looks on their faces.

She trembled and bowed, "Your Highness!"

Ye Ling was also kneeling beside him, his face as pale as silver paper.

Emperor Sheng An slammed his hand on the table. "How dare you sisters plot against the current Marquis Zhan Yi in broad daylight? Do you think I'm too merciful, and that's why you keep pushing the limits?"

Concubine De argued: "I am innocent. I didn't plot against him. What exactly happened? Please tell me clearly, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Sheng An pointed at Zhan Yan and said, "Someone brought him to your palace to find me, saying that a noble lady of the Sang family had suddenly fallen into the water and begged him to rescue her. When he got closer, he found that she had turned out to be your sister. Didn't you know about this?"

Concubine De shook her head innocently: "I really don't know. My sister Ye Ling did fall into the water accidentally just now. I haven't asked her what happened yet."

Emperor Sheng An sneered: "Okay, Ye Ling, you speak!"

Ye Ling tearfully spoke, "I don't know what they said on the shore. I fell into the water and lost my mind. I saw Zhan Yihou swimming towards me. He stared at me for a few seconds, then turned around and went back. I was terrified. I have no idea why he acted like this!"

Zhan Yan's eyes were cold and terrifying. This pair of sisters are really good at making excuses.

With just a few words, he cleared himself of all charges.

It's all someone else's fault!

He even secretly hinted to Emperor Sheng An that he had seen Ye Ling's body after she fell into the water. Was he going to hold him responsible?

Haha, then let her go to hell!

Zhan Yan knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I cannot bear such injustice. I will be stripped of my title and return home!"

Defei's eyelids suddenly twitched wildly. Zhan Yan asked to be stripped of his title?

That would be great! If he leaves the court, wouldn't it be more convenient for my father to do things?

She spoke quickly: "Zhan Yan, you want to strip me of my title just because of such a small matter. In your eyes, what do you think of the emperor?"

She paused and looked at Emperor Sheng An again: "Your Majesty, you can't let him do whatever he wants. He threatened you with the loss of your title, so you just obliged him!"

Emperor Sheng An interrupted without hesitation: "Shut up, Concubine De, you are so bold as to sow discord between me and Marquis Zhan Yi. What are your intentions?"

Concubine De was so frightened that she fell to her knees and said, "I dare not. I just think that Marquis Zhan Yi shouldn't ask to be stripped of his title because of such a small matter. He didn't suffer any loss at all. On the contrary, it was my sister who was seen naked by him in the water. He must give an explanation!"

Emperor Sheng An taunted, "De Fei, do you want Zhan Yan to marry your sister?"

Concubine De nodded heavily. "Yes, my sister is a famous talented woman in Lingnan City. She is also very beautiful and kind-hearted. She is a perfect match for Marquis Zhan Yi!"

Emperor Sheng An said calmly, "But Zhan Yan already has a wife. Lin Yiwan hasn't made any mistakes. Aren't you clearly trying to embarrass me?"

Concubine De quickly explained: "Your Majesty, don't be embarrassed. My sister can bear some grievances. Just let her be the concubine of Marquis Zhan Yi!"

"Bang!" Emperor Sheng An smashed the tea bowl on the table to the ground.

The porcelain fragments on the ground were suddenly scattered everywhere, which scared Concubine De and Ye Ling so much that they shivered at the same time.

The two looked at each other, each with a look of panic on their face.

Emperor Sheng An said coldly, "I didn't know that Concubine De's hands were so long that she actually dared to reach into the backyard of a minister?"

Concubine De said stubbornly, "Your Majesty, isn't this because my sister suddenly fell into the water? Marquis Zhan Yi saw her naked body in the water. If this gets out, how can she get married?"

Emperor Sheng An waved his hand and said, "No need for marriage. Didn't you say she's gentle and virtuous, with both virtue and kindness? It just so happens that the top of Hongshan Mountain is short of a bell ringer, so let her go!"

De Fei was stunned. To be the bell ringer on the top of Hongshan Mountain? The emperor had the idea.

It was a very tiring job. The bell had to be rung at every hour of the 24 hours, over and over again, without any break.

What’s more important is that the entire Hongshan is full of monks.

Ye Ling went to the top of Hongshan Mountain and would never be able to come down again in his life.

She pleaded hurriedly, "Your Majesty, Ling'er is still young. How can she do such an ascetic job as a bell ringer? Please revoke your order immediately!"

Emperor Sheng An stared at her with a frown. "De Fei, as the former dean of the Noble Ladies' Academy, don't you know that all the bell ringers in the past were noble ladies with both virtue and kindness? This is a good thing for her, and even a glory for the entire Ye family!"
