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

Wei Linzhou then closed his eyes and was no longer able to breathe.

Wei Jinbao threw himself on him and burst into tears, but Madam Wei was filled with grievances. They were a complete family when they came here, but now only she and Jinbao were left as an orphan and a widow.

How can this be good?

Wei Dongting had already staggered into the teahouse. He rushed in with the portrait and shouted, "Where's that liar? Hurry and get him out, or I'll smash this teahouse!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a distinguished figure stepped out. He frowned and said, "Wei Dongting, you are so bold that you even want to destroy my teahouse?"

Wei Dongting was so frightened that he fell to his knees. He never thought that this teahouse actually belonged to Prince Li.

He knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness, please help me. My son met a portrait artist here who cheated him out of 50,000 taels of silver!"

Prince Li stared down at him condescendingly: "What portrait?"

Wei Dongting quickly handed him the portrait with both hands: "This is it. It was originally a beautiful woman's face, but I don't know how it suddenly turned into a rooster. It's really weird!"

Prince Li examined it carefully and heard the staff member beside him say, "Your Highness, I remember there is a kind of pigment called light-death. When there is no sunlight, its color can be clearly seen, but once it is exposed to sunlight, it disappears without a trace. I guess that beautiful face was painted with that pigment!"

Prince Li spoke sympathetically: "Wei Dongting, it seems that your son has indeed met a scammer. Don't worry, I will investigate this matter. You can go back first!"

Wei Dongting was unwilling to accept this, and he subconsciously asked, "But what about the 50,000 taels of silver that were cheated away?"

Prince Li raised an eyebrow impatiently: "What? You want me to pay for it?"

Wei Dongting was so frightened that his whole body trembled. He said in a trembling voice, "No, I dare not! I have nothing now. How will I live in the future without money?"

Prince Li spoke slowly, "Wei Dongting, with your salary, even if you didn't eat or drink, you couldn't save 50,000 taels of silver, right? Furthermore, you live an extremely luxurious life in Suzhou. It's said that even the cups you drink from are made of the finest white jade!"

Wei Dongting was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He quickly denied it, "That's not true, Your Majesty, please don't believe those slanderous words. I live a simple life and dare not live an extravagant life. Please understand!"

Prince Li waved his hands irritably, "I don't want to bother with your nonsense. Now that you've been stripped of your official position, you still want to make trouble. Aren't you afraid of angering the emperor and having your head chopped off? In that case, you and your whole family will really die together!"

Wei Dongting shook his head vigorously: "No, I won't bother anymore. I'll leave now. Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness!"

After saying that, he stood up and staggered away.

Looking at his back, a chilling chill surged in King Li's eyes.

He said to the inner room: "Everyone has left, why don't you hurry out?"

Lin Yiwan stepped forward with a smile and took his arm. "Father, you're really amazing! With just a few words, you scared the crap out of him!"

Prince Li looked at her lovingly, "How can your father be as capable as you? You actually exchanged a portrait of a rooster for 50,000 taels of silver. You are the best in the Sheng Dynasty!"

Lin Yiwan raised her chin proudly: "It's Wei Linzhou's fault for having bad intentions and throwing dirty water on my aunt. I was just playing along!"

Prince Li rubbed her head and said, "I've already checked. Wei Dongting didn't commit any major mistakes while in office. Just let him live. Sheng Ruqing's death had nothing to do with him. It was all his wife's fault!"

Lin Yiwan didn't intend to take his life. Besides, the Wei family was now penniless. Even if he survived, he would spend the rest of his life in poverty.

She narrowed her eyes and said, "Well, it's up to Father to decide. Let's go back home quickly. I'm afraid Mother will be waiting anxiously!"

When the two returned to Prince Li's Mansion, they saw Zhan Yan waiting there.

He said solemnly, "Father, the Emperor just sent someone to deliver a message, asking you to enter the palace immediately!"

Prince Li couldn't help but frown. Emperor Sheng'an would only look for him when something serious happened. After all, he was content with everything he had with his child and rarely participated in the government affairs in the court.

He didn't delay any longer and immediately took Zhan Yan into the palace.

Lin Yiwan was also curious about what had happened, so she waited for them to come back.

However, until midnight, she still hadn't seen the two of them.

Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up in the morning, she saw Zhan Yan standing beside the bed with a haggard face.

She asked doubtfully, "Ah Yan, you just came back?"

Zhan Yan nodded: "I'll have breakfast with you, I'm about to go on a long journey!"

Lin Yiwan quickly stood up and put on her clothes while she asked with concern, "What happened? Why did the emperor call you and father over so urgently to discuss it?"

Zhan Yan whispered, "There may be changes in the border troops!"

Lin Yiwan's face immediately became solemn and ugly. The border troops were the army that guarded the peace of Sheng Dynasty. If something unexpected happened, it would shake the people's hearts.

She asked anxiously, "Are you going alone? I'll prepare some medicine for you in case you need it!"

Zhan Yan comforted her: "Don't panic, the emperor asked my brother to go with me, so that we can have someone to look after us on the road!"

Hearing that Fang Qingshan was following, Lin Yiwan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After they finished their breakfast, they went to the study to meet King Li.

Prince Li handed a list to Zhan Yan and said, "I personally promoted General Du Mingfeng of the Border Army. I still don't believe he did those things. So when you get there, remember to conduct an impartial investigation to avoid wrongly accusing innocent people!"

Zhan Yan carefully tucked the roster into his sleeve and said respectfully, "Don't worry, Father. I will handle this carefully. However, I'll leave Wanwan and the children in your care!"

Prince Li glared at him: "What kind of rude words are you saying? I am taking care of my own daughter, isn't that what I should do?"

Zhan Yan smiled and then said goodbye to Lin Yiwan reluctantly.

This trip to the border will take at least a month, which is indeed a long time for the two of them to be apart.

Lin Yiwan packed up a lot of medicines for external injuries and asked Yingyi to carry them all, and also asked Ling'er to prepare a lot of food that was easy to carry.

She was always worried. No matter how much Zhan Yan promised to protect her, her eyes still turned red.

Zhan Yan reached out and held her tightly in his arms, whispering, "Wanwan, when we get to the border, I'll write to you and the children to let them know you're safe!"

She bit her lips stubbornly, and nodded after a moment: "Okay, let's go quickly, don't keep my brother waiting!"

Zhan Yan let go of her, turned around and strode away.

Watching his figure disappear, Lin Yiwan finally forced back the tears that were about to burst out.
