Ling'er quickly comforted him: "No quarrel, maybe there is a fight outside the back wall, Zi'er has gone to deal with it!"

Lin Yiwan had very sharp ears, and she vaguely heard someone shouting "Zhan Yihou".

She subconsciously asked, "Are those people fighting with the Marquis?"

Ling'er quickly denied: "No, Madam, don't think too much. The most important thing for you now is to recuperate. Old Doctor Lin said that you can't withstand the slightest stimulation!"

Lin Yiwan glared at her: "Tell me, what happened?"

Ling'er bit her lips stubbornly and remained silent.

Lin Yiwan frowned: "Ling'er, I'll give you one more chance. If you don't tell the truth, I'll get up and go check it out myself!"

Ling'er was so frightened that she fell to her knees. "Madam, please don't move. Your wounds haven't healed yet, how can you get up? It's a bunch of beggars outside shouting that the Marquis has a mistress, and that she's a noble and kind Buddhist woman who's being housed in the Qingfeng Inn!"

Lin Yiwan was stunned at first, then she squinted her eyes and smiled.

Ling'er was feeling uneasy. She didn't understand what the lady was laughing at. Was she angry to the point of going crazy?

She was already very weak, and it was definitely not a good thing for her to endure such a great shock.

She didn't dare to delay and immediately got up and ran out.

Lin Yiwan called out to her, "Stop, why are you running?"

Ling'er stammered, "Go, ask Doctor Lin to check you out!"

Lin Yiwan raised her eyebrows: "What are you looking at? I'm fine."

Ling'er bit her lip and stammered, "But you're laughing. I'm scared. I think you've gotten angry and done something bad. I want to ask Doctor Lin to come and see you right away!"

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but say, "Ling'er, do you think I'm so angry that I'm not thinking straight? Can you please hope for me, little girl?"

Ling'er blinked in grievance: "I think you will not be fine after hearing this!"

If Lin Yiwan hadn't been worried about the wound bursting, she would have laughed at Ling'er. Look how scared she was.

She tried her best to suppress her laughter, took a deep breath and said, "Good Ling'er, since I married Marquis Zhan Yi, do you think he is the kind of person who would keep a concubine?"

Ling'er quickly shook her head: "I don't think he looks like her, but those beggars outside are shouting with such certainty, and I just secretly asked around, and they say that the Buddhist woman is really different from ordinary people. She's very beautiful, the kind that makes men unable to take their eyes off her!"

Lin Yiwan spoke up, "Hasn't your Marquis met enough beautiful girls? Forget about others, that barbarian princess, Cheng Zhenzhen. Putting aside her personality, her looks alone are one in a million, yet our Marquis didn't even take a fancy to her!"

Ling'er muttered, "A Buddhist girl should be different, right? She has studied Buddhism since she was young, so she must have an extraordinary temperament!"

Lin Yiwan interrupted firmly, "There's nothing different. I trust Ah Yan. He must have his reasons for placing that Buddhist girl in the Qingfeng Inn. I won't get jealous or cause a fuss!"

Ling'er nodded, as long as the lady was not angry.

At this time, Lin Su walked in quickly, her eyes red as she said, "Wanwan, are you okay? Your father asked me to tell you that Zhan Yan took in that Buddhist girl because he wanted to use her as bait!"

Lin Yiwan smiled happily, she guessed that was the case.

She held Lin Su's hand and said, "I understand. I knew Ah Yan would never betray me. Those beggars outside must have been the Buddha's daughter who made the noise. She wants to make me angry and punish her, but I won't fall for it!"

Lin Su finally breathed a sigh of relief. She soothed her softly, "Just take care of her. If she continues to act recklessly, we won't take any action!"

Soon the beggars were driven away, and at this time Chaner, who was in the inn, was waiting for Lin Yiwan to bring people to punish them.

She had already made plans. As long as Lin Yiwan came, she would kneel down and beg for mercy.

By then, it will surely arouse the sympathy of the people, and the people she had arranged before will exaggerate and publicize her life-saving grace to Zhan Yan.

Then Lin Yiwan will be branded as ungrateful!

By then, she would be filled with shock and anger, so how could she possibly be nice to Zhan Yan?

The couple's clean breakup was a perfect opportunity for her to take advantage of the situation!

Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on her face.

She lowered her voice and called out, "Someone, go outside and check to see if there's any movement from the Prince's Mansion."

Not long after, a woman in black walked in quickly and said, "Reporting to the young lady, the Prince Li's Palace has not sent anyone over!"

Chan'er's smile gradually faded. She asked in confusion, "How could this be? Those beggars were shouting so loudly that it shook the heavens. I'm afraid the entire capital city already knows that Zhan Yan has a concubine named Buddhist in the Qingfeng Inn, and yet Lin Yiwan didn't react at all?"

The woman replied respectfully, "I don't know either. The Prince's Mansion is heavily guarded right now, and is surrounded by secret guards. I can't sneak in at all!"

Chan'er clenched her fists in anger. She gritted her teeth and cursed, "Is Lin Yiwan a toad? She's so tolerant that she even ignores the rumors that her husband has a mistress."

The woman frowned and pondered, "Miss, do you think someone might have kept it a secret from her? She didn't hear it with her own ears?"

Zener's eyes widened in shock. "How is that possible? She's not deaf. I don't believe she couldn't hear such a loud voice!"

The woman said, "The Liwang Mansion is not an ordinary house. They say the houses are built with thick bluestone. Maybe even the loudest sound can't be heard inside!"

Zener couldn't help but take a breath. If that was the case, it would be a bit difficult to deal with.

She hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth and saying, "Ask the master, has he not planted a hidden chess piece in the Li Palace over the years? If she helps spread the message and stir up trouble, Lin Yiwan will definitely not be able to lie down!"

The woman shook her head helplessly: "My master has said before that the Prince Li's mansion is an ironclad entity. Anyone who stays in the mansion is Prince Li's confidant. There is no way we can insert pawns there!"

Chan'er said angrily, "Are we just going to wait like this? If Lin Yiwan doesn't make a move, won't I have to stay in Qingfeng Inn forever? As long as they start a quarrel, I'll have the chance to take advantage of the situation and sneak in!"

The woman carefully comforted her, "Don't worry, young lady. I will send a secret letter to the master to ask for a solution!"

Zener waved his hand irritably and let the woman leave quickly.

After about a cup of tea, the woman came back.

She leaned close to Chan'er's ear and said, "Don't worry, Lin Yiwan will soon know that Zhan Yihou has placed you in the Qingfeng Inn!"

Zener asked curiously, "What method did the master use?"

The woman said coldly, "Fang Qingshan's wife Bai Qiaoyin!"

At this time, Bai Qiaoyin was running around anxiously in the mansion. Now the whole capital was spreading rumors that Zhan Yan had a concubine, and she was very worried.
