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

She tightly grasped the arm of the maid beside her and shouted, "Madame Chen, what nonsense are you talking about? Didn't Duo'er go looking for you? Why would she kill you to silence you? Don't slander her!"

Nanny Chen glared at the Second Madam fiercely, her face full of hatred.

Now that she has died once, what is there for her to fear?

I'm going to die anyway, so if I can drag a few people down with me before I die, it would be enough.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Bah, how could she be so kind as to pick me up? She wants to strangle me to death. The marks on my neck are the proof!"

The Second Madam shook her head vigorously: "No, that's not the case. You must have slandered Duo'er. She would never do such a thing!"

She fell to her knees before Zhan Yan and cried, "My Lord, please don't believe her lies. She must have done something dishonest before, and Duo'er punished her, so she holds a grudge and is seeking revenge. Duo'er is the child you watched grow up, and you know her temper best!"

Zhan Yan's eyes were full of coldness, he really didn't understand!

This time, if he had not thought about it in advance and sent people to investigate, he really would not have known that a seemingly well-behaved and lovely little girl could do such a cruel thing.

He interrupted without hesitation: "Duo'er is your child. No one knows her temperament better than you. I am fair in my dealings. This time I will get to the bottom of this matter and will not let anyone suffer in vain!"

The second wife was trembling all over. She was frightened by his aura and didn't even dare to shed tears.

Zhan Yan's sharp eyes fell on Nanny Chen: "What have you done to make the young lady want to kill you to silence you?"

Nanny Chen crawled on the ground and trembled timidly, "She gave me one of Madam's underwear and told me to find a man to slander her innocence. As long as we can prove her unruly behavior in public, we can have her castrated and expelled from the Marquis's residence!"

Zhan Yan clenched his fists hidden in his sleeves. He spoke without hesitation, "Is he the scholar you're looking for?"

Nanny Chen saw the man kneeling beside her. Although he had been beaten beyond recognition, she could still recognize him.

She nodded quickly: "It's him, I gave him twenty taels of silver!"

The Second Lady subconsciously argued, "You're talking nonsense! You're throwing dirty water on Duo'er with such a sweet mouth. How can you be so vicious, you old bitch?"

Madam Zhan also frowned and said, "Yan'er, Duo'er is such a simple-minded girl, how could she come up with such a vicious scheme? This old man must have taken it upon himself to figure out the master's thoughts, which is why he caused that scene in the street!"

Zhan Yan glanced at Nanny Chen, who immediately argued, "I didn't act on my own initiative. The young lady ordered me to do this. Besides, she got that little dress from the maid Lu Xiu!"

Lin Yiwan curled her lips and smiled, and realized that Lu Xiu was one of the maids who was driven out of the yard.

No wonder he could remember the pattern of her clothes.

She said aggrievedly, "My husband, it seems someone is dissatisfied with me becoming the wife of the Marquis' Mansion and wants to use this vicious scheme to drive me away. They also tried to take my dowry for themselves. Why is my life so miserable?"

She blinked her eyes and tears began to fall.

Before Zhan Yan felt sorry for her, Ling'er couldn't bear it anymore.

She was a straightforward person and couldn't bear to see Lin Yiwan suffer any injustice.

She immediately said, "The Marquis' Mansion is truly a hell of a place. On the day of the Crown Prince's wedding, he demanded that his wife and concubine be married together, deliberately humiliating our master. It's one thing to consider, but now there's even a young lady who came and hired someone to slander her innocence in order to embezzle her dowry. We absolutely cannot tolerate this kind of arrogance!"

She supported Lin Yiwan and said, "Master, let's go. Let's ask the old master to take charge and file a complaint with the emperor. He will support you and uphold justice!"

Madam Zhan was startled. She shouted anxiously, "Stop them! Stop them!"

She didn't dare to let Lin Yiwan file a complaint with the emperor, otherwise the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion would be completely ruined.

Her own daughter is still in the palace, and she can't let her be implicated.

Ling'er subconsciously protected Lin Yiwan behind her and looked at Madam Zhan with dissatisfaction: "Why are you still stopping us? As an elder in the Marquis' Mansion, you watched those scoundrels abuse our master, and you don't allow us to complain?"

Madam Zhan bulged her eyes and shouted angrily, "How dare a lowly servant like you dare to commit treason? It's such a small matter, yet you go to the Emperor to file a complaint? The Emperor is so busy with all sorts of affairs, how can you trouble him with such a small matter in the harem?"

Ling'er sneered and questioned, "So, according to the old lady, our master should just endure this injustice?"

Old Madam Zhan's face flushed red, she was really stumped by the question.

Zhan Duoer is her granddaughter, how can she deal with her?

After thinking it over for a while, she said, "Lin Yiwan didn't suffer any loss, did she? If she wants to confess, then sell these slaves off so she can out of sight and out of mind!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhan Yan with a guilty conscience: "Yan'er, what do you think?"

Zhan Yan said coldly, "Mother, your handling of the matter is rather unfair. Put yourself in her shoes. If it was Duo'er who was slandered today, would you still make such a big deal out of a small matter?"

Old Madam Zhan thought to herself, how can that cheap girl compare to Duo'er?

That's her favorite!

And Lin Yiwan is just a drug addict that she despises!

The reason why she asked Zhan Yu to do everything possible to get engaged to the Lin family was for the good medicines and secret prescriptions in the Lin family's hands.

She said awkwardly, "Then let Duo'er come back and apologize to Yiwan. We're family after all, so we can't make things too embarrassing, right?"

Zhan Yan interrupted impatiently: "We are no longer a family. If mother does not give me a satisfactory explanation, I will expel their entire family from the Marquisate!"

"What?" Old Madam Zhan almost shouted at the top of her lungs.

She didn't expect that just for such a small matter, Zhan Yan would actually expel the second branch from the Marquis' Mansion. How could this be possible?

He is her own son, and he will inherit the mansion in the future!

The Second Madam also spoke up, "My Lord, have you disregarded our brotherly love? Back then, when the Second Master saw that you were injured and would never have children again, he reluctantly gave our only son to you, letting him call you father. Why are you driving our entire family away just because of an outsider?"

Zhan Yan stepped forward, shook Lin Yiwan's hand, and said, "She's not an outsider. She's my wife, Zhan Yan, and the head mistress of this mansion. She's been wronged, and I must stand up for her. Since the evidence is conclusive, the second wife no longer has to live under the same roof with us. Either expel her from the mansion, or hand her over to the authorities for punishment. It's up to you to decide!"

After hearing this, Zhan Duoer, who had just been dragged off the carriage, rolled her eyes, her legs went limp, and she fainted instantly.

The Second Madam shouted anxiously, "Duo'er, what's wrong with you?"
