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

She did not hesitate any longer and immediately ordered Miss Chu Wu to be summoned into the palace.

Along with Chu Wu came the haggard-looking Cheng Lingzhi.

She now has nowhere to go. Because of her trouble, the Cheng family has distanced themselves from her, and even her own brother Cheng Ziheng no longer recognizes her.

She knelt before the Queen and begged, "Your Majesty, please take Lingzhi in. Lingzhi has no way out now and can only rely on you!"

The Queen doesn't mind having a few more dogs around her, and Cheng Lingzhi is pretty, so it's not impossible to let her help Chu Wu win Zhan Yan's favor.

She helped her up with her own hands: "With your current status, you naturally cannot be Zhan Yan's concubine, but you can marry into the Marquis's Mansion with Xiuxiu. You are not really her maid, so you can be a helper. Are you willing?"

Cheng Lingzhi's tears suddenly welled up. What could she do even if she didn't want to?

She has no choice!

She said in a hoarse voice: "Lingzhi is willing, Lingzhi is willing to give advice to Miss Chu Wu!"

Chu Xiuxiu didn't want to keep her around, but the queen had already spoken, so she could only swallow her dissatisfaction.

She had already made up her mind that once she entered the Marquis' Mansion, she would first give Cheng Lingzhi a warning and let her know that she must not compete with her for Zhan Yan.

Otherwise, I will have to skin her alive.

She was murderous in her heart, but she had a decent and gentle smile on her face.

She said softly, "Empress, have you and the Marquis' wife agreed? When will I marry into the Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion? Will Zhan Yan personally come to meet me?"

The Queen whispered soothingly, "Don't worry, these details haven't been discussed yet. However, your father is the Minister of Works, and he naturally can't humiliate your status. You just need to go back home and prepare your dowry first!"

Chu Xiuxiu bowed gratefully: "Thank you, Queen. Once I enter the Marquis' Mansion, I will definitely persuade the Marquis to respect you and assist the two princes well!"

The Queen narrowed her eyes and praised: "You are thoughtful!"

After Chu Xiuxiu left the palace, she instructed Cheng Lingzhi, "Go find out what kind of wedding dress Lin Yiwan wore when she got married. Even though I'm the concubine of the Marquis's Mansion, I must surpass her in terms of clothing!"

Cheng Lingzhi nodded: "Okay, I'll go find out now!"

Chu Xiuxiu frowned and glared at her again: "When you wear clothes in the future, be careful. You are not allowed to wear anything brighter than me, and you are not allowed to wear hairpins. I am the real concubine of the Marquis' Mansion. You should be prepared to be a counselor!"

Cheng Lingzhi replied aggrievedly: "Yes, Lingzhi will definitely not go past the girl!"

After getting her assurance, Chu Xiuxiu felt relieved.

She lazily leaned against the car wall and said, "My Chu Xiuxiu's good days are coming soon. Who would have thought that I would become the concubine of the current Marquis Zhan Yi?"

However, before marrying him, she had to make him suffer. Who asked him to search the Chu Mansion and throw them all into the dungeon?

She ordered people to stop those who came to Zhan Yihou's mansion to deliver the betrothal gifts outside the door, and only let them in after they begged profusely.

Let them understand that it is not easy to get married!

She sat there daydreaming happily, but she didn't know that Zhan Yan didn't care at all about marrying a concubine.

Not only did he not send anyone to deliver the betrothal gifts, he didn't even set a date for the wedding.

This made Chu Xiuxiu very nervous and uneasy. She kept urging Cheng Lingzhi to find out what was going on in Zhan Yihou's mansion, but she was unable to bring back any useful information!

She was so angry!

She wanted to go back to the palace to find the Queen and urge the Marquis Zhan Yi to propose marriage, but she was afraid that the Queen would say she was useless.

After much deliberation, she decided to take the initiative.

She deliberately picked out a very pretty brocade dress and took Cheng Lingzhi straight to the Prince Li's Mansion.

Lin Yiwan met her in the tea room and ordered someone to serve tea.

She seemed not to notice Cheng Lingzhi standing next to her, and only glanced at Chu Xiuxiu with a pair of eyes without any sadness or joy.

She said in a distant tone: "I wonder why Miss Chu Wu suddenly came to visit this time?"

Chu Xiuxiu was filled with resentment. She thought to herself, "Don't you know why I came to your house? It's already this late, and you're still playing dumb?"

But no matter how dissatisfied she was, she still had a decent smile on her face.

She answered respectfully, "The Empress asked Xiuxiu to come. She wanted to ask when Marquis Zhan Yi would come to the Chu Mansion to propose marriage and when the wedding would be held. She also wanted to have a drink at the wedding!"

She lied with her eyes open, because the Queen was on her side anyway, and no one dared to find any fault with her when she did things under her banner.

Lin Yiwan lowered her head and took a sip of tea. "I can't give Miss Chu an answer on this matter because the Marquis is not at home. How about you wait for him for a few more days?"

Chu Xiuxiu's face gradually showed impatience. Wait, wait, she had to wait until the end of time?

She had already told the news to her good sisters, and they were waiting for her to receive the betrothal gifts so that they could go to the Chu Mansion to support her.

If she keeps delaying, her momentum will be worn away.

She must not wait indefinitely!

She said with a forced smile, "Madam Hou, as the mistress of the household, you shouldn't bother the Marquis with such a small matter, right? He's so busy with all sorts of things, how could he have the time to care about this?"

Lin Yiwan pretended to understand something and said, "So I can make the decision on this matter. If that's the case, I'll schedule it for tomorrow!"

Chu Xiuxiu's face suddenly showed joy. So soon? Wasn't it a bit hasty? She wasn't ready yet, even the wedding dress wasn't completely embroidered.

She couldn't help but say, "Tomorrow is a bit too urgent, why not the day after tomorrow? That way, our Chu family can arrange for someone to receive the betrothal gifts!"

Lin Yiwan looked at her in confusion. "Who said we need to send a betrothal gift? I asked my father, and he said that if we add a concubine to the family, we can just bring her in a sedan chair. There's no need to go through so much trouble!"

Chu Xiuxiu's expression suddenly changed, and she almost subconsciously retorted angrily: "Nonsense, who would marry a concubine so rashly?"

Lin Yiwan's expression immediately darkened: "Miss Chu Wu, are you blaming my father?"

Chu Xiuxiu was immediately startled and broke out in a cold sweat. She hurriedly explained, "No, I didn't. Xiuxiu would never dare to do that. It's just that when ordinary families marry a concubine, they have to go through the ceremony of giving betrothal gifts. If Madam Hou doesn't believe me, you can go out and ask on the street!"

Lin Yiwan said irritably, "I told you I couldn't make the decision, but you insisted on asking me. I made the decision, but you refused to listen. Aren't you clearly trying to embarrass me?"

Chu Xiuxiu now understood that Lin Yiwan was just trying to fool her.

The couple's plan was probably to drag it out deliberately to test their patience.

No, she must go to the palace to ask the Queen for help!

Without further hesitation, she immediately stood up and said goodbye.

After entering the Weiyang Palace, she cried and said, "Empress, I'm afraid Lin Yiwan is secretly disobeying your orders. He and his wife don't even want to welcome me into the palace as a concubine!"
