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

Jin Xin shook her head: "I don't know!"

Madam Fang glared at her angrily, "What on earth did she give you that made you so determined to keep the secret?"

Jin Xin said bitterly: "Old Madam, do you know that this servant has a younger brother?"

Madam Fang nodded heavily: "Yes, I know. Isn't he running a small business over in Zhugan Lane?"

Jin Xin sighed, "He went astray and incurred a huge gambling debt. Someone chopped off his fingers and threw him at the entrance of an alley. It was that girl who rescued him and helped him pay off his gambling debt. Her life-saving grace is greater than heaven, so I had no choice!"

Madam Fang raised her hand and slapped her hard across the face: "She saved your brother's life, and you followed her orders to murder your master. How could you be so vicious?"

Jin Xin's face tilted to the side after being hit. She smiled bitterly and said, "I was wrong, old lady, please execute me."

Madam Fang interrupted without hesitation: "If you want to die, it won't be that easy. Since your brother is involved with that woman, I will bring him in for questioning!"

Jin Xin's expression suddenly changed. She pleaded anxiously, "Old Madam, please be kind and don't arrest my brother. This has nothing to do with him. This is all my fault. Isn't it enough for me to give you my life as compensation?"

Madam Fang taunted, "Your life is in my hands. I can take it away whenever I want. This is all because of your brother. He's the real culprit!"

Jinxin knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. Even though her eyebrows were bleeding, she did not dare to stop.

She pleaded hesitantly, "Old Madam, it's my fault. Considering my loyalty to you, will you please let my brother go this time?"

Madam Fang's face was filled with scorn. "Are you loyal? Jinxin, think about it honestly. How have I treated you? And how have you repaid me? You took the dirty clothes I gave you and mixed them with them. You're ruining my reputation!"

Jin Xin cried and replied, "I know I was wrong. I am willing to die to atone for my sins. I only ask you to spare my brother. He is the only child in my family and he has the responsibility to carry on the family line!"

Lin Yiwan interrupted without hesitation, "Is your brother the only one in this world who bears the responsibility of carrying on the family line? Do you know how many innocent men in the Yan army will be put in danger because of your momentary mistake?"

Jin Xin was stunned. She asked in surprise, "What does this have to do with Yan Jun?"

Madam Fang couldn't help but accuse him, "You're so stupid! You helped that woman and ruined my reputation. If she goes to the government and complains that the old general is immoral, how can he still lead the Fang family army?"

Lin Yiwan immediately spoke up, "The Yan army is trapped in Xiliang Mountain in the south, and they need General Fang to lead them out. If he were to be stripped of his military power at this critical moment, wouldn't the lives of all the Yan army be in danger?"

Jin Xin murmured, "I didn't know. I didn't expect things to be so serious!"

Madam Fang urged impatiently, "Why don't you tell us where that woman is? Only by catching her can the old general's reputation be preserved!"

Jinxin quickly replied, "She's hiding at my brother's house in Zhugan Lane!"

Lin Yiwan spoke without hesitation: "It's not convenient for the old lady to leave the house right now, so I'll take Zi'er with me."

Madam Fang nodded: "Take Jinxin with you, she knows the way!"

Lin Yiwan dragged Jinxin out without saying a word.

After she was stuffed into the carriage, she pleaded, "Madam, this matter has nothing to do with my brother. He knew nothing about it from the beginning to the end!"

Lin Yiwan frowned and looked at her: "How could your brother have such a huge gambling debt? Didn't you ever suspect it?"

Jin Xin asked in surprise, "Could it be that this was a trap from the beginning? Is my brother also part of it?"

Lin Yiwan didn't say anything else. At this moment, she only wanted to catch the woman as soon as possible.

If they were a step later, Yan's army would be in dire straits.

The carriage soon arrived at Zhugan Lane, and Jinxin staggered to knock on the door of her brother's house.

Soon, someone came forward to open the door. It was her good-for-nothing brother.

The moment he saw her, he just said anxiously: "Sister, you came at the right time, give me thirty taels of silver!"

Jin Xin angrily slapped him in the face: "You only know how to ask for money. Didn't I tell you not to gamble anymore? Why didn't you listen to my advice?"

The man immediately showed a look of dissatisfaction. He covered his face and said, "Thirty taels of silver is not enough for this slap. You have to give me at least fifty taels!"

Jinxin was so angry that her vision went dark. She forced herself to slap him in the face several times.

The man was beaten until his mouth was bleeding and he became angry and embarrassed.

He grabbed Jinxin's arm and yelled, "That's enough! I'm your brother. You're slapping me all over. Do you want to kill me?"

Jin Xin gritted her teeth and said, "I just want you to wake up. No one's money comes from the wind. If you gamble again, you'll lose your life!"

The man retorted impatiently: "As long as you give me enough silver, I will have a chance to make a comeback. You are my biological sister, but you are not as good as Jiao Niang, an outsider. She sold all her jewelry to support me in the gambling house!"

Jin Xin reacted immediately and quickly asked, "Where is Jiao Niang?"

The man shook his head without hesitation: "I don't know. She went out before dawn. What do you want with her?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zi'er kicked him to the ground, pointed her sharp sword at his neck and roared, "Tell me, where did you go?"

The man was so frightened that his whole body began to tremble violently. He screamed, "Sister, I am your biological brother. You can't be so cruel as to kill me!"

Jin Xin squeezed her eyes shut and urged anxiously, "Wouldn't it be alright if you just tell me where Jiao Niang is?"

The man shook his head vigorously: "I really don't know, I really didn't lie!"

"Puchi!" The long sword pierced his neck, and he screamed in pain.

Jin Xin subconsciously knelt down and begged, "Madam Hou, please spare my life!"

Lin Yiwan said coldly, "I'll ask you one last time, where did Jiao Niang go?"

The man no longer dared to lie. He answered without hesitation, "She went to the government office. She said she was going to file a complaint against her irresponsible husband and seek legal status for her and her unborn child!"

Lin Yiwan's expression suddenly changed. Was she a step too late after all?

She grabbed the man and dragged him into the carriage.

"What are you doing?" the man asked angrily.

Lin Yiwan spoke without hesitation: "When we get to the government office, tell her you're her husband and coax her back to your house!"

The man immediately objected: "Why? Even though I'm older, I wouldn't marry a woman who's pregnant with someone else's child!"

Lin Yiwan sneered, "But why did you use her jewelry and ask her to help you pay off your gambling debts?"
