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

Thinking of this, he spoke tremblingly: "Madam, it's not a big deal. Is it really necessary to bring it to the emperor?"

Lin Yiwan frowned and said, "This is a serious matter. Your wife slandered me as a thief and personally searched me in public. That's not enough, but she even tried to strangle me to death. Look at the strangle marks on my neck. It's a good thing I brought a female guard with me, otherwise, I would have died at her hands!"

Liu Yao never thought that his wife could cause such a big disaster. He really wanted to beat her to death.

However, I had to clean up the mess for her in the end.

He took a deep breath and said, "Six hundred thousand taels of silver is too huge a sum. We simply can't come up with it all at once. Madam Hou, could you give us a few more days?"

Lin Yiwan held up three fingers and said, "Three days, I'll give you three days. If the money isn't delivered to me by then, don't blame me for complaining to the Emperor!"

Liu Yao took a hard breath and said, "Okay, I will definitely try my best to raise the money. Please rest assured, Madam Hou!"

As Lin Yiwan left with Princess Sheng, she couldn't help but exclaim, "I can't believe someone is so bold as to think you actually stole those ruby ​​earrings!"

Lin Yiwan said indifferently, "She was deceived. Actually, she was not mistaken. The ruby ​​earrings were indeed on me at first!"

Princess Sheng widened her eyes in astonishment: "You, you still have this habit?"

Lin Yiwan shook her head. "No, I've never cared much about material possessions. It's just that someone secretly put it on me, and you should be familiar with that person!"

Sheng Tianzhu raised his eyebrows blankly: "Who is it?"

Lin Yiwan uttered three words: "Sheng Tianxue!"

The two returned to the inn, and Sheng Tianzhu, with a grim expression, went straight to Sheng Tianxue's bedroom.

She walked in quickly and saw her lying on the bed with a pale face, as if she was in great pain.

She was the first to smile and ask, "Your Highness, you're back? Did you buy the jewelry you wanted at the jewelry store?"

Sheng Tianzhu stared at her with a frown and said, "Xue'er, you have been staying in the room without taking a single step out?"

Sheng Tianxue nodded heavily: "Yes, Your Highness, why do you suddenly ask this?"

Sheng Tianzhu spoke obscurely: "Madam Hou said that you went to the jewelry store, but I don't believe her at all. After all, you were so badly injured, how could you go there?"

Sheng Tianxue said in shame and anger: "She must be trying to sow discord between Your Highness and this servant. What is her intention?"

Before Sheng Tianzhu could say anything, Lin Yiwan walked in from outside and said, "You can tell whether I'm trying to provoke you by looking at your wrist!"

Sheng Tianxue stared at her with a frown: "What do you mean?"

Lin Yiwan said in a deep voice, "Before, when I was in the jewelry store, someone bumped into me. Although she looked ordinary, I could clearly smell the scent of wound medicine on her body. Even though she used strong perfume to cover it up, it still didn't get through to me!"

Sheng Tianxue bit her lip hard, and she argued in a trembling voice: "What does what you said have to do with me? I really didn't leave the room. The maid guarding outside can testify to that!"

Lin Yiwan spoke slowly again, "The maids are yours, so their words don't count. When you stuffed the ruby ​​pendant into my sleeve, I also left a mark on your wrist. It's white revealing powder, and it turns blue when it comes into contact with water. We can verify it right here and now!"

She didn't care about Sheng Tianxue's expression, she just took the hot tea, grabbed her bandaged wrist and poured it on her.

"Ah!" Sheng Tianxue let out a shrill scream.

Sheng Tianzhu's face turned pale with anxiety, but when he saw the white brocade suddenly turn blue, he was so angry that his whole body began to tremble violently.

She asked angrily, "Is it really you?"

Sheng Tianxue was in so much pain that tears were falling. She sobbed and said, "No, it's not me, Your Highness. She deliberately slandered me. She played all these little tricks. I am really wronged!"

Sheng Tianzhu knew very well that it was Sheng Tianxue who did this.

But seeing that she was almost fainting from the pain, I was afraid that the broken wrist would never grow back after being scalded by the hot water.

She couldn't bear it!

After all, she is a good sister who grew up with her.

She spoke quickly: "Madam Hou, I will deal with Xue'er. She has learned her lesson now. I hope you can spare her life!"

Lin Yiwan turned her head and glanced at her: "Princess Sheng, once, twice, but not three times!"

Sheng Tianzhu nodded in shame: "Yes, I have made a note of it. I will teach her well. If possible, I will send her back to Southern Xinjiang in advance!"

Lin Yiwan ignored her and turned away quickly.

On the carriage back to the palace, Zi'er felt vaguely dissatisfied.

She frowned and said, "Madam, Princess Sheng is too kind. She said she was going to punish Sheng Tianxue, but in fact, she was going to protect her life!"

Lin Yiwan said sarcastically: "Just wait and see, Sheng Tianxue won't give up, Princess Sheng will eventually be unable to protect her!"

The two had just returned to Prince Li's mansion when a figure suddenly threw itself into her arms, wailing at her: "Aunt Wanwan, please save me!"

"Youyi?" Lin Yiwan looked at her in surprise.

It was so late, and the little girl was crying with tears in her eyes. She looked so pitiful.

Lin Yiwan looked at the nanny behind her, only to see her kneeling on the ground and saying, "Madam Hou, you are the only one who can save our princess now. Please keep her by your side!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yiwan's face changed. Youyi is the emperor's biological daughter. Looking at the entire Sheng Dynasty, who can do anything to her?

She scolded the old nanny, "As the princess's nanny, how could you say such outrageous words? Those who know you know that you truly care about the princess, but those who don't might think you're disrespectful to the emperor and empress. Where do you put them?"

This was the first time the old nanny saw Lin Yiwan lose her temper, and she immediately kowtowed and apologized: "It's my fault, please punish me, Madam Hou!"

Youyi argued in a trembling voice: "Aunt, don't blame the old lady. Don't blame her. She is just worried and confused. She is really scared!"

Lin Yiwan reached out to wipe the tears from her eyes and said, "Then tell me, Auntie, what happened that frightened you and your servant so much that you secretly ran away from the palace?"

There was anxiety in Youyi's eyes, and she bit her lips tightly and refused to say a word.

Instead, the tall figure of Prince Li stepped out from the darkness. "She heard rumors that the barbarians had sent letters to our Sheng Dynasty, proposing marriage!"

Youyi's tears immediately began to fall, and she sobbed sadly, "Aunt, I don't want to marry the barbarian King Rui. He's already forty years old, older than my father, and I'm not even of age yet. How can I marry him?"

No matter how strong Lin Yiwan's mind was, she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger rushing to her head after hearing these words.
