A complex expression flashed across Lin Ran's face. After a moment's silence, he slowly said, "Have you ever heard that the Emperor didn't inherit the throne from the previous emperor, but rather it was given to him by his uncle, Prince Li!"
Lin Yiwan immediately took a breath of cold air. Oh my god, could it be that the person my mother is planning to marry is Prince Li?
Oh my god, this is too bloody!
She remembered the King Li, who was said to have been guarding the barbarian border and had never returned to the capital since Emperor Sheng'an ascended the throne.
Lin Ran said quietly, "The royal family values reputation the most. After your grandfather consulted your mother, he took back the engagement letter that was sent to Prince Li's mansion. From then on, your mother married the son-in-law and no longer had any connection with Prince Li!"
Lin Yiwan subconsciously asked, "Is he still alive now?"
Lin Ran shook his head. "Five years ago, barbarians invaded the border. Prince Li led his troops to fight off the enemy. He accidentally fell from his warhorse. It is said that his jade face was smashed to pieces. No doctor could cure him. He had no choice but to stay in the mansion and never appeared again. Now it is unknown whether he is alive or dead. I believe the emperor should know this!"
Lin Yiwan actually felt quite sympathetic towards the King of Li. Perhaps because of Zhan Yan, she had a natural liking for the generals guarding the border.
She couldn't help but mutter, "If my mother had married Prince Li, I'm afraid she wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable situation!"
Lin Ran patted her head. "What are you talking about? How can there be foresight in this world? If you could predict danger, wouldn't you be a god?"
Lin Yiwan rubbed her head and said, "It hurts, uncle. Can't you hit me a little more gently? If you beat me stupid again, I'll definitely defeat Zhan Yanfei!"
Lin Ran couldn't help but laugh: "Hey, even my uncle can't beat you, you little ungrateful bastard. You've only been the mistress of the Zhan family for a few days, and you dare to threaten me?"
Lin Yiwan subconsciously hugged his arm and said, "When we get to Suzhou, Zhan Yan said we should take his token to find Commander Tang Qizheng and ask him to help us deal with that son-in-law!"
Lin Ran nodded: "He has good intentions. Tang Qizheng is the most powerful official in Suzhou City!"
The next day, the three of them hurried on their way and entered Suzhou City in the setting sun.
The city was very lively, with red lanterns hanging everywhere and the people were all in high spirits.
Lin Yiwan asked curiously, "Whose wealthy family is having a wedding? There are lights and decorations everywhere."
Lin Ran ordered, "Yingyi, go and ask around!"
Not long after, he hurried back and reported in a low voice, "My Lord, my Madam, I just heard that the city commander, Lord Tang, is seeking a wife for his son. It is said that he is marrying the daughter of the famous Xie family, Xie Qinglan!"
When she heard the word "thank you", Lin Su's expression suddenly froze.
Lin Yiwan immediately understood that the son-in-law was a member of the Xie family, and her mother was probably very sensitive to the word Xie.
She quickly changed the subject: "Since we've encountered a happy event, then we might as well go buy a wedding gift. We can't leave empty-handed!"
Lin Ran nodded: "Of course!"
When they arrived at the jewelry store, Lin Yiwan helped Lin Su get off the carriage.
As the mother and daughter walked inside, they heard two women whispering behind them, "Did you hear? That daughter of the Xie family married a consumptive bastard from the Tang family. He's hanging on by a thread!"
The man couldn't help but exclaimed, "How is this possible? Isn't Xie Qinglan usually so ambitious? How could she marry a consumptive?"
The woman next to him smiled and pursed her lips: "You don't know this, right? My son is sick, but I'm strong. She has other intentions, she's going after that commander-in-law!"
The man blushed immediately and quickly reached out to cover her mouth: "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't spread it around. There is no such thing as a daughter-in-law thinking about her father-in-law in this world. If Xie Qinglan dares to do it, she will be the most shameless person in the world!"
After saying that, the two of them went upstairs laughing and joking.
Lin Yiwan couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips. The daughter of the Xie family and Commander Tang, what a coincidence.
Lin Su lowered her voice and said, "Wanwan, are we still going to the Tang family? I think their house is quite a mess. It's really disrespectful for a bride to be thinking about her father-in-law!"
A complex expression flashed across Lin Yiwan's eyes. If her mother knew how she married Zhan Yan, she would probably be shocked.
Forget it, don’t tell her for now, so as not to scare her again.
She whispered soothingly, "Don't panic, mother. We have to go to the Tang family. Don't you want to know if the Xie family's daughter is the son-in-law's daughter? If they succeed in getting close to the Suzhou Commander, revenge will be difficult. It would be better to ruin their marriage and let the Xie family's efforts go to waste!"
Lin Su blinked and felt that what Wanwan said made sense.
After the two of them bought some standard gifts, they asked for directions to the Tang Mansion.
There were many guests at the door, and the gatekeeper was very busy.
In order to avoid being discovered, Lin Yiwan deliberately concealed some of Lin Su's appearance, and only she and Lin Ran showed their true faces.
She personally stepped forward and handed over the visiting card: "I am from the capital's Zhan Yihou Mansion and would like to pay my respects to Commander Tang. I would like the housekeeper to go in and let him know!"
The gatekeeper looked her up and down and said, "We haven't sent an invitation to the capital yet, so why are you here without an invitation?"
Lin Yiwan replied calmly, "It was a coincidence. I originally came to visit about an old matter, but I didn't expect to hear that the eldest son of the mansion was getting married today!"
The gatekeeper understood and said, "So that's how it is. I'll go in and let you know right away. Please wait a moment, my dear guest!"
He did not dare to neglect them and ordered someone to bring chairs to Lin Yiwan and the other two.
While I was waiting, I heard shouts from all around: "The bride's sedan has arrived, everyone get out of the way!"
Lin Yiwan looked over curiously and saw a bride in a bright red wedding dress being helped out of the sedan chair. She covered her face with a pearl fan. Although her appearance could not be seen, her eyes were bright and captivating.
In just a moment, Lin Su, who was originally sitting next to Lin Yiwan, suddenly straightened his back, and his expression became a little nervous and uneasy.
Lin Ran subconsciously asked in a low voice: "Sister, what's wrong?"
Lin Su hid her head behind him, shaking her head and mumbling, "No, it's okay!"
Lin Ran felt a slight pain in his heart. How could his sister look like she was okay?
Lin Yiwan directly held her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, mother. With my uncle and I by your side, no one will dare to hurt you again. Do you think her eyes look like that man's?"
Lin Su nodded heavily: "Yes!"
Lin Ran's eyes were suddenly filled with murderous intent. No wonder!
Since their eyes are so similar, she must be his daughter without a doubt.
He was just lost in thought when he saw an imposing man coming hurriedly. He walked with big strides, which was enough to tell that he must be an impatient person.
