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

She said coldly, "Who dares to let you marry me? Look, I won't need a packet of rat poison to poison him to death. Damn it, he's courting death by trying to get his hands on Youyi!"

After hearing her words, Youyi immediately reached out and hugged her neck tightly: "Auntie, I want to stay by your side. I want you to protect me all my life!"

Lin Yiwan held the little girl in her arms and looked at Prince Li with a cold expression: "Why? Did the Emperor agree to this ridiculous request?"

Prince Li explained with a mixture of laughter and tears: "How could the emperor agree to this? Even if he really had some ulterior motive, Prime Minister Meng would have to make a big fuss. This is simply impossible!"

Lin Yiwan's expression finally softened. Fortunately, Emperor Sheng An was wise.

Otherwise, she was afraid that she would not be able to help but send him a packet of poison.

How could Youyi, who is so well-behaved and cute, marry that old gangster of the Barbarian King Rui?

He is so shameless that he even dares to ask for the girl's hand in marriage. Why doesn't he even take a piss and look at himself?

Seeing her complicated thoughts, Prince Li said gently, "It's getting late. Let's settle Youyi down first. Then come with me to the study to discuss how to deal with the Barbarian King Rui!"

Youyi asked cautiously, "Granduncle, why can't I listen? Although I am young, I understand things!"

Prince Li also felt a little distressed. The little girl was really too uneasy.

He doted on her and soothed her, "Because this involves some grievances between the two countries, you just have to remember one thing: as long as your great-uncle is here, the girls of our Sheng Dynasty will never be used as bargaining chips to exchange for benefits!"

Youyi could only nod: "Thank you, Granduncle, I will remember it!"

Lin Yiwan was still a little worried, so she asked Zi'er to accompany Youyi back to her own yard.

As soon as the father and daughter entered the study, Lin Yiwan's anger, which had been pent up in her heart, instantly burst out.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Is Cheng Rui crazy? He dares to have ambitions for Youyi. Who gives him the courage?"

Prince Li frowned and pondered, "His marriage to Youyi was fake, his revenge for his son Cheng Xun was real. He is retreating to advance!"

Lin Yiwan asked doubtfully, "According to Father, what exactly is his plan?"

Prince Li spoke slowly: "He has a legitimate daughter named Cheng Feifei. He will probably threaten the emperor to marry her into the palace and become a high-ranking concubine!"

Lin Yiwan sneered, "Since he dares to send his daughter to the Sheng Dynasty Palace, then let her come. As for whether she lives or dies, he has no say in that!"

Prince Li spoke in a cryptic voice, "Prince Rui is different from the Barbarian Emperor. He is an extremely ambitious man, and he controls most of the Barbarian army. He has been seeking talented people at high prices, and has now developed a repeating crossbow!"

Lin Yiwan's breathing quickened when she heard this. The crossbow had enormous destructive power. If it was really widely used among the barbarian army, the Sheng Dynasty would have no choice but to passively take the beating.

She gritted her teeth, a cold light flashing in her eyes.

She said in a deep voice, "Father, we can't suppress our Sheng Dynasty just because they have crossbows. The Sheng Dynasty army is no pushover!"

Prince Li waved his hand: "There must be no unnecessary casualties. We must handle this matter with caution!"

After Lin Yiwan was reborn, she naturally understood the truth that kind people are often bullied.

She would never let Cheng Rui take away any benefits from Sheng Dynasty, and she would never let him think that people in Sheng Dynasty were cowards.

What is a repeating crossbow?

She can also develop more powerful weapons!

Thinking of this, she said in a serious tone: "Father, no matter how you and my brother deal with Cheng Rui, I will never allow Youyi to be harmed!"

After saying this, she turned around and walked out quickly.

Looking at her back, King Li could only shake his head and smile bitterly: “We are already protecting Youyi, how could we hurt her?”

Lin Yiwan just returned to her room and saw little Youyi curled up in the corner of the bed.

When she heard footsteps, she rolled her big eyes, which were clearly black and white.

When he saw Lin Yiwan, he immediately smiled brightly: "Aunt, have you finished discussing this with my great uncle?"

Lin Yiwan walked to the bedside and rubbed her hair. "Well, we've finished the discussion. Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Youyi answered in a low voice: "I can't sleep. I'm a little worried about my mother. I'm afraid she will blame her. I heard that if my father doesn't agree to the marriage proposal of the King of Manyi Rui, his daughter will become my father's concubine, but my mother will be very sad!"

She paused and stammered, "But Cheng Rui is too old. I don't want to marry him!"

Lin Yiwan felt so sorry for the little girl in front of her. She was so young and so well-behaved, how could she bear the intrigues between adults?

She frowned and said, "Don't worry, I'm here. I won't let you marry an old man, and I won't let his daughter enter the palace and become a concubine. I will definitely come up with a good solution!"

Perhaps because of her promise, Youyi began to feel drowsy.

After Lin Yiwan settled her down, she went to the pharmacy to browse some books.

Zi'er came in from outside holding a lantern. She asked worriedly, "Madam, why aren't you going to bed yet? It takes time to come up with a solution. You have to take care of your body!"

Lin Yiwan frowned and pondered, "Zi'er, we're still not that strong. Otherwise, how could we be so afraid of Cheng Rui's army's crossbows?"

Zi'er sighed helplessly, "Yes, our Sheng Dynasty is not short of loyal and brave generals, but we lack extremely powerful weapons!"

After hearing her say this, Lin Yiwan's eyes suddenly became very bright.

She said anxiously, "What if we had gunpowder? Wouldn't that intimidate Cheng Rui, and even make the surrounding countries dare not to attack Sheng Dynasty again?"

Zi'er looked at her in shock: "Madam, what is gunpowder?"

Lin Yiwan did what she thought. She integrated her knowledge of pharmacology, extracted sulfur, added charcoal and saltpeter, ground them into powder, and put them all into a small jar.

By the time all this was done, the sky outside was already turning pale.

Seeing that she had heavy dark circles under her eyes, Zi'er couldn't help but feel distressed.

She urged earnestly, "Madam, you should at least go lie down for a while, otherwise, you won't have any energy during the day!"

Lin Yiwan waved her hand. "No need to lie down. I remember there's a utility room in the back garden of the palace. Let's go there and test the power of gunpowder!"

Zi'er still didn't take her words to heart at this moment, and subconsciously followed her and walked quickly towards the utility room.

Even when Lin Yiwan lit the string on the small jar, she remained calm.

It was not until a loud bang exploded in her ears, followed by dark flames shooting up into the sky, that she quickly reacted and dragged Lin Yiwan into the lotus pond.

"Splash!" The two of them sank to the bottom of the water in an instant.

When the two emerged from the water, the entire Li Wang Mansion was in chaos.
