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

Emperor Sheng An could imagine how cruel that scene was. After all, he had also been detoxified by Lin Yiwan using a special method.

He said sympathetically, "Prime Minister Meng, I understand you're furious right now, but have you ever considered what would happen if the Pei Mansion erased all the evidence and you rashly requested permission to search it?"

Meng Xiang naturally understood that with the cunning of the old censor Pei, he would definitely pursue him, but he had no other choice!

He must find the real murderer and avenge his wife, otherwise, how can he face his first wife again?

Emperor Sheng An looked at Prince Li and said, "Uncle, do you also think we should search the Pei Mansion?"

Prince Li said with a cold expression, "Your Majesty, they originally came for Lin Su and Wan Wan, and the life-threatening wound was stuffed into the dowry gift sent by the Meng family!"

Emperor Sheng An angrily slammed the desk and said, "How dare the Pei family!"

Prince Li continued, "Your Majesty, although the Life-Severing Viper originates from Cangliang Mountain, it is impossible for Zhao Xiaoyu to bring it back. Cangliang Mountain is divided by the Cloud Locking Hook, with half belonging to the barbarians and the other half belonging to our Sheng Dynasty!"

Emperor Sheng An's pupils contracted violently. He asked in shock, "Uncle, are you saying that someone in the Pei Mansion is collaborating with the enemy?"

King Li nodded: "There is a war going on on the border right now, we have to be on guard!"

Emperor Sheng An did not hesitate any longer and quickly issued an order: "Li Youde, the commander of the Imperial Guard, is to lead a search of the Pei Mansion immediately and find the real murderer who murdered Madam Meng!"

Meng Xiang immediately followed Li Youde to Pei Mansion, while Prince Li was left behind by Emperor Sheng An.

He asked worriedly, "Uncle, how is the battle going on at the border?"

Prince Li asked in return, "Do you not trust your uncle, or do you not trust the Young General of the Fang family?"

Emperor Sheng An quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. I just thought this was a spy that suddenly appeared. If he gave away any information, it would be disastrous!"

King Li waved his hand. "Even if he's sent out, it won't help. The generals I left behind are all seasoned warriors. If I'm not mistaken, using the Life-Severing Viper is a desperate move. Everyone knows that Lin Su is the woman I care about most. If she dies, I'll have no will to live!"

Emperor Sheng An was immediately shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. This was going to kill Lin Su and Prince Li, and shake the morale of the border troops.

He said quickly, "Uncle, we must find the spies as soon as possible, otherwise, your wedding will be ruined by them!"

A murderous look flashed in Prince Li's eyes. He said in a cold voice, "No matter who he is, I will pull him out and tear him into pieces!"

At this time, in the third room of the Pei Mansion, Mrs. Pei was waiting anxiously.

At this time, the personal maid hurried in and said, "Madam, I have already arranged everything. I have bribed a lot of beggars to block the bridge for the bride tomorrow. If someone throws a few copper coins, they will fight over it without any regard for the cost, and will definitely knock the wedding sedan over!"

"Then Lin Su will definitely fall into the icy river. As long as the beggar rescues her, and she has physical contact with him, then forget about marrying Prince Li!"

Madam Pei San's face finally lit up with joy as she said, "You did a good job! That bitch Lin Yiwan ruined my daughter's marriage, so I'll make her mother a laughing stock in Shengjing City!"

At this moment, the little maid guarding outside ran in with a panicked look on her face. She said anxiously, "Third Madam, the Imperial Guards are going to search our Pei Mansion. The Master is negotiating outside. Now everyone in the other rooms has gone. The Third Master wants you to go as well!"

Mrs. Pei was stunned. "Why is the mansion being searched so suddenly? Can you tell me what happened?"

The maid replied, "It is said that when Madam Mengxiang was delivering a dowry gift to Madam Lin, she was bitten by a life-threatening snake, and that snake came from Cangliang Mountain!"

Mrs. Pei blinked in confusion. "What does the poisonous snakes of Cangliang Mountain have to do with our Pei Mansion? Why did the Emperor want to search the Pei Mansion?"

The maid stamped her feet anxiously: "Madam, have you forgotten that our cousin just came back from Cangliang Mountain, and you just had an old grudge!"

Mrs. Pei San's body shook and she fell forward.

The little maid hugged her and said, "Madam, please don't faint. The Third Master is still waiting. Please hurry up!"

Mrs. Pei San walked to the front yard, stepping slowly and seeing that the area was already crowded with people.

Among them, Madam Pei and Censor Pei stood at the front, both with gloomy and ugly expressions.

Old Imperial Censor Pei spoke first: "Prime Minister Meng, you keep saying that the life-destroying venomous snake came from our Pei Mansion. Do you have any evidence?"

Meng Xiang replied in a deep voice, "Of course there are. Marquis Zhan Yi has already sent his men to investigate. A local resident has accused someone from your residence of pretending to be a beggar and intercepting the two maids who were delivering the dowry at Marquis Zhan Yi's residence. This distracted them and prevented them from paying attention to the box containing the dowry!"

Old Imperial Censor Pei immediately interrupted, "If you want to accuse someone, you'll always find a pretext. Was it the common people who testified against you, or was it someone deliberately smearing you? Meng Qingshan, you're not a mentally retarded child. How come you can't even tell right from wrong?"

Prime Minister Meng sighed helplessly, "Mr. Pei, it is precisely because I trust you that I asked the Emperor to order a search of the Pei Mansion. Now is the time to examine the candidates for the Right Prime Minister. Don't you understand my painstaking efforts?"

Hearing what he said, Mr. Pei's originally angry expression instantly eased.

He frowned and asked, "Meng Qingshan, what do you mean? Could it be that the candidate for the Right Prime Minister is still in our Pei Mansion?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a flurry of discussion arose around them.

Madam Pei immediately shouted angrily: "Shut up, everyone! How can this be disrespectful?"

As soon as the words fell, the whole audience fell silent.

Prime Minister Meng then slowly said, "Logically speaking, the selection of the Right Prime Minister is a confidential matter, and I shouldn't speculate on it privately. But Elder Pei should understand that your legitimate son, Pei Qi, as the Chief Envoy of the Supervisory Council, is highly regarded by the Emperor, right?"

Pei Qi, Pei Jue's father, is the eldest son of the Pei family.

Old Censor Pei's eyes lit up. Could it be that the emperor wanted his son to be the right prime minister?

That would be great!

He thought that the emperor had to take into account the power of the Pei family and did not want to choose from the Pei family.

He quickly stepped forward and said, "Left Prime Minister, let's talk for a moment!" After saying that, he winked at his eldest son Pei Qi.

Meng Xiang did not refuse and followed the father and son to the study.

Old Imperial Censor Pei frowned and asked, "Prime Minister Meng, is what you just said true? Does the Emperor really want Pei Qi to be the Right Prime Minister? The feud between the women in the harem cannot affect us. Don't harbor selfish motives and deliberately deceive me!"

Meng Xiang deliberately put on a sad face and said, "Since Master Pei doesn't believe me, then just treat it as nonsense. However, this time I came to search your Pei Mansion at the request of Prince Li. Because the venomous snakes from Cangliang Mountain are too representative, the only one who can be found is your third cousin Zhao Xiaoyu!"
