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

Meng Xiang was the first to speak: "Come here, put him in jail first, and then we will deal with him after discussion!"

After Qin Duanyan was taken away, Cheng Ziheng was sent to the examination hall to continue taking the exam.

After the two figures disappeared, Lin Yiwan felt that something was wrong. For example, Qin Duanyan had no grudges against Cheng Ziheng, so why did he have to frame him?

Zhan Yan said, "Maybe it's jealousy?"

Lin Yiwan frowned and shook her head: "It can't be jealousy. Cheng Ziheng is well-known for his knowledge. There is no comparison between him and him!"

Zhan Yan couldn't help but console him: "Don't overthink it. The matter has been resolved anyway. By rectifying the situation before the exam, we won't let the court bury a truly talented person!"

Lin Yiwan didn't want to disturb them any further, so she had to say goodbye and leave.

As she sat in the carriage, Qin Juanyan's helpless and nervous face kept lingering in her mind.

He seemed to have done this on purpose, or as if he had anticipated this outcome?

She thought about it carefully and suddenly realized it.

She urged Zi'er: "Hurry back to the government office, I want to see Qin Duanyan!"

Although the gatekeeper didn't know why the marquis's wife came back, he didn't stop her from entering the dungeon.

In the dim room, Qin Duanyan was actually setting up a chessboard using stones he had found from somewhere.

He heard footsteps outside and suddenly looked surprised.

After a moment, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Madam Hou, do you know how to play chess?"

Lin Yiwan got straight to the point: "You're deliberately trying to frame Cheng Ziheng, aren't you? You had no intention of taking the exam at all. Why?"

Qin Duanyan frowned and interrupted, "Madam Hou, please don't make random assumptions. I am a child of the Qin family in northern Jiangsu, carefully nurtured by their family. My greatest wish in life is to win the first place in the imperial examination and bring honor to our family!"

Lin Yiwan was so angry that she laughed. She said sarcastically, "Children from noble families are always cautious in their words and actions, and they are dignified and self-disciplined. How could they not understand the rules of the examination room and put their completed essays into the examination materials? Unless, you did it on purpose!"

Qin Duanyan's eyes remained still. After a long while, he spoke calmly, "Whatever you say, it's a fact that students have made mistakes. The Student Union will obey the government's orders!"

Lin Yiwan stood up suddenly. "No action will be taken against you. You should know that with my status, I can naturally have a say in the Emperor's affairs. As long as I go to the palace and beg him, you will definitely be able to continue to take the exam!"

Qin Duanyan stared at her with a frown: "Madam Hou, you are actually going to show favoritism? Aren't you afraid of bringing discredit to Marquis Zhan Yi? Aren't you afraid of being collectively attacked by all the students who are screaming about taking the exam?"

Lin Yiwan narrowed her eyes and approached him, with a slightly provocative smile on her pretty face.

She whispered, "As long as you don't say it, I don't say it, and the emperor doesn't say it, who will know? Unless you deliberately want to spread the news?"

Qin Duanyan felt a little helpless when she looked at him, and he subconsciously looked away.

Seeing that he had fallen silent, Lin Yiwan turned around and walked out: "I will go and ask the emperor to make an exception for you!"

Qin Duanyan's whole body was trembling. He rushed over with a look of anxiety on his face to stop him: "Madam Hou, I don't need you to meddle in my affairs!"

Lin Yiwan didn't know what tripped her, and she suddenly fell forward.

Poor Qin Duanyan was caught off guard and was pressed into the straw by her. His face turned red in an instant.

Lin Yiwan was very frightened at first. This was the first time she was so close to a man other than Zhan Yan.

She subconsciously wanted to get up, but suddenly realized something was wrong.

Her eyes suddenly widened, and she looked carefully at Qin Duanyan's neck for a moment.

He seemed to have sensed something and immediately pushed her away forcefully, saying, "Madam Hou, you're going too far. You don't have to meddle in my affairs. Since I, Qin Duanyan, have made a mistake, I will take responsibility for it. Isn't it just that I can never take the imperial examination again? I can handle it!"

Lin Yiwan stood up slowly: "I don't know whether I should call you Mr. Qin or Miss Qin?"

"You!" Qin Duanyan opened his mouth in shock.

The candlelight in the cell was already very dim, and now it reflected on his face, which was extremely pale.

His secret has been exposed, what should he do?

He clenched his fists tightly, and the turmoil in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

He whispered, "Madam Hou, you misunderstood. You should of course address this student as Master Qin!"

Lin Yiwan burst out laughing. "Qin Duanyan, are you insulting my intelligence? As a doctor, how can I not even tell the difference between men and women?"

She paused and continued, "At first you covered it up so well that I didn't think much of it. But just now when we accidentally bumped into each other, I clearly felt a difference in the touch of my palm!"

Qin Duanyan didn't expect her to say it so openly. He was so embarrassed that he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

Fortunately, there are only two people in this cell, otherwise, he would really have no face to live in this world!

An unspeakable bitterness suddenly surged in his heart, and he could no longer hide it.

In the face of the truth, his pitiful self-esteem had been completely trampled upon by Lin Yiwan.

He immediately pleaded in panic, "Madam Hou, can you keep this secret for me? I beg you!"

Lin Yiwan frowned and stared at her for a long moment before she spoke suspiciously, "Since you came to the capital, you were planning to take first place in the exam, right? What on earth made you change your mind and commit the mistake that got you permanently banned from taking the exam?"

Qin Duanyan closed his eyes tightly, his face filled with misery.

She sobbed softly, "I have to come. The Subei Qin family has high hopes for me, and I am also the only bloodline of the eldest house. I, I shoulder the prosperity and honor of the family!"

Lin Yiwan couldn't imagine how much pain she must have endured because her gender had been concealed from her since childhood.

Presumably, she had her own reasons.

She walked up to Qin Duanyan, patted her back and said, "If you don't want to, no one can force you. You're doing very well now. You've taken the first step in your struggle!"

Qin Duanyan immediately revealed a bitter smile: "The news has not yet reached the Qin family in northern Jiangsu. If they knew that I had committed a crime that would have me banned from taking the exam for life, they would definitely not let it go. So I would rather go to jail, no matter how long it takes!"

Lin Yiwan was silent for a moment before she slowly spoke: "May I ask why you did this?"

Qin Duanyan subconsciously frowned, as if she had something hidden that was difficult to tell.

Lin Yiwan was not one to be ignorant of the current situation. She immediately said, "If you don't want to tell me, then just pretend I didn't ask!"

Qin Duanyan sighed helplessly: "Madam Hou is the wife of the Marquis' husband. She must be very clear about how important male offspring are in aristocratic families, right?"

Lin Yiwan certainly understood that a male heir was to inherit the family business. Even ordinary families insisted on having a male heir, not to mention the Qin family in northern Jiangsu, a prominent family.
