At this moment, her dowry nurse walked in quickly and said, "Madam, you should go to the Li Palace to visit the Marquis' wife. She is both your adopted sister and your benefactor. You can't stay out of this!"

Bai Qiaoyin is not stupid. She also understands that Lin Yiwan has just given birth to a child and her body is weak. How can she withstand the stimulation of this incident?

Since she didn't send anyone to Qingfeng Inn, she definitely hasn't received the news yet.

She can't go over and cause trouble!

She immediately refused: "No, if Wanwan already knew the news, it would be fine. But if she's still being kept in the dark, then if I expose it and make her unhappy, wouldn't I be the sinner?"

Seeing her refusal, the nanny immediately tried to persuade her: "Madam, how could the Marquis' wife blame you? She is grateful to you. It was you who told her the truth, so that she would not be kept in the dark and become a fool!"

Bai Qiaoyin frowned and looked at her, "Mammy, what do you mean? You knew Wanwan had just given birth and was very weak, so why did you rush me over to anger her?"

The wet nurse was so frightened that her whole body tensed up. She immediately knelt on the ground and said, "How could this servant have any bad intentions? I just wanted Madam to remind the Marquis's wife that she is, after all, the adopted daughter of our Fang family!"

Bai Qiaoyin interrupted impatiently: "It's because of her relationship with the General's Mansion that I can't say it out loud!"

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, the wet nurse could only retreat in embarrassment.

She paced back and forth outside for a few steps and quickly walked towards the small kitchen.

She ordered in a deep voice: "Pack more of the exquisite pastries that have just been made. I have received orders from my wife to send them to Prince Li's mansion!"

She went out with the cakes and headed straight for Prince Li's mansion.

But just as he reached the door, he was stopped by the guard.

She said with a smile on her face, "I came here on the orders of our young lady. She is here to deliver some snacks to the Marquis' wife!"

Before the guard could say anything, a cold voice suddenly came from behind her: "Mammy, when did I ever ask you to bring snacks to Wanwan?"

Bai Qiaoyin came over quickly with two maids, and she was immediately scared out of her wits.

She argued forcefully, "Madam, I really feel it would be wrong not to come here. After all, with the favor Madam Hou has shown you, we can't let her be kept in the dark!"

Bai Qiaoyin was too lazy to listen to her nonsense. Her wet nurse actually acted behind her back, so she definitely couldn't stay.

She ordered the maid to cover the wet nurse's mouth and drag her into the Bai family's carriage.

She followed in, raised her hand, and slapped the wet nurse hard on the face: "I treated you well, why did you betray me?"

The nurse denied it palely: "I didn't do that. I really did it for the young lady's sake. Please understand!"

Bai Qiaoyin sneered, "Are you thinking about me, or your son's gambling debt of five hundred taels of silver?"

The wet nurse suddenly raised her head. She never expected that the young lady had found out.

She opened her mouth and burst into tears: "Young Madam, please spare me. I am desperate. Who made me have such an incompetent son? As a mother, I can't just watch him die and do nothing!"

Bai Qiaoyin closed her eyes tightly. She knew that she must not let the wet nurse off easily.

Otherwise, people will continue to be bribed in the future.

She asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, who bribed you to be so bold as to come to the Li Palace alone?"

The nurse shook her head vigorously. "I don't know who he is. He wore a silver mask and black clothes. He just said that if I could get anything done, I would pay off my son's gambling debts!"

Bai Qiaoyin ignored her and took her to Old Madam Fang.

Old Madam Fang heard what had happened and said with a cold look in her eyes, "She was your dowry nanny. Now that she has done something evil and betrayed her master, how do you plan to deal with her?"

Bai Qiaoyin slowly spoke, "She is a slave. Yin'er holds the power of life and death over her. To prevent her from causing trouble in the future and to serve as a warning to others, your daughter-in-law will beat her to death!"

The wet nurse's eyes widened in shock, then she began to cry out at the top of her lungs, "Young Madam, you can't be so heartless. This isn't a big deal at all. Besides, I'm your wet nurse. Without my milk, how could you have grown up like this? How can you be so cruel?"

Bai Qiaoyin interrupted angrily, "How is this not a big deal? Do you know that if Wanwan gets wind of this, it will cause a rift between her and Marquis Zhan Yi, destroying their relationship? Can you bear the consequences?"

The wet nurse knelt down at her feet and begged, "Young Madam, please let me go. I will never dare to do that again. I swear!"

Bai Qiaoyin remained indifferent and still ordered her to be dragged away and beaten to death.

Madam Fang reminded: "Her son is the instigator. Let the gambling house collect the debt and put him in jail!"

"Yes!" Bai Qiaoyin quickly sent someone to make arrangements.

However, at this time, something unexpected happened in the palace.

Just when Zhan Yan went to check the list of people to be killed in the Qiu family, the memorial library suddenly caught fire for no apparent reason.

Before he could get the list out, the fire had already reached the roof.

Emperor Sheng An, who arrived just in time, shouted from outside, "Zhan Yan, come out quickly! Don't worry about the broken roster. Run out quickly! Don't burn to death in there and leave Wanwan's three newborn babies without a father!"

Zhan Yan, who was looking through the roster, couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart. Why was he so unwilling to listen to Emperor Sheng An?

But what he said was right. There was no need for him to let his wife lose her husband at a young age just for the sake of the list.

After all, the Buddhist girl is still in his hands. With her, it is not difficult to find out who the Qiu family has missed.

He didn't hesitate any longer and rushed out immediately.

Almost as soon as he ran outside, the entire memorial warehouse was burned down.

Emperor Sheng An patted his shoulder with lingering fear: "Zhan Yan, you are really not afraid of death!"

Zhan Yan stared at him with scorching eyes. "Why did a fire suddenly break out just after I entered the memorial library? And the fire was so fierce?"

Emperor Sheng An froze, knowing that there were not many people who came with Zhan Yan to check the roster, only him and Li Delu.

Apart from that guy Li Delu, who else has the ability to set a fire so quickly?

Could it be that that bastard betrayed me?

Thinking of this, Emperor Sheng An felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife!

He shouted angrily: "Li Delu, get out here!"

Li Delu trembled and knelt before him, cold sweat dripping down his forehead. He cried out loudly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I am innocent!"

Emperor Sheng An's eyes were wide open, and he almost watched Zhan Yan burn to death in front of him.

He is the pillar of the dynasty. If anything happens to him, how will he explain to his uncle and Wanwan?
