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

The childish voice spoke so fiercely that the crying stopped abruptly.

Sang Qiutang subconsciously wanted to explain, but Lin Yiwan slowly spoke, "Your Highness, sadness doesn't necessarily mean tears. My sadness is in my heart, you can't see it!"

Xiao Yu, with half of his face scarred, wiped his face and said, "But I can shed tears. I saw my aunt crying, my eldest brother crying too, and the court officials and ladies wiping their tears with handkerchiefs. But you didn't even have tears in your eyes!"

It may seem like childish talk, but in fact it exposes the conflict between Lin Yiwan and the Queen so nakedly in front of everyone.

Before Lin Yiwan could say anything, the Duke's wife rushed over.

She whispered, "Your Highness, the Second Prince, your mother and your Aunt Wan have a deep relationship. She cares about your mother more than anyone else. You must not misunderstand her!"

Xiao Yu frowned and interrupted, "Aunt, you don't know this. My mother was unable to see me and my elder brother before she died. She was very sad. She went to beg Aunt Wan for help, but Aunt Wan didn't help her at all!"

The Duke's wife's eyes widened in surprise. She turned to look at Lin Yiwan and said, "Madam Hou, is what the Second Prince said true?"

The questioning in public was intended to put Lin Yiwan in the spotlight.

Sang Qiutang immediately retorted, "Madam Guo has misunderstood. Wanwan was also unable to split herself at the time. Her adopted daughter was injured by the collapsed pavilion and there was not much healthy flesh left on her body. She was in critical condition, so naturally she couldn't care about anything else!"

Xiao Yu asked in confusion, "Is Aunt Wan's adopted daughter more important than my mother's life? I don't understand. Could you please explain this to me, Aunt Wan?"

Lin Yiwan's eyes blazed with a fierce fire. She knew better than anyone that the three-year-old Xiao Yu could not say such flawless words!

There must be someone behind the scenes directing him!

As for who it was, she couldn't check it out right now. She had to think of the right words to respond. Otherwise, not only would the Duke's wife hate her, but even the women of the court officials would regard the Marquis Zhan Yi's Mansion as a thorn in their eyes.

She said in a hoarse voice, "Second Prince, you should know that my adopted daughter is seriously injured. She was injured by someone sent by the Empress. If anything happens to her, it will ruin your mother's reputation. Therefore, I must save her first no matter what!"

The Second Prince bit his lip hard. He said with a sad face, "Aunt Wan, please don't be angry with me. I will never have a mother to call me again. She is the person who loves me the most in this world. She doesn't mind the scar on my face. I want her to live!"

When Lin Yiwan saw him reaching out to touch the hideous scar, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

She said indifferently, "It's normal for the Second Prince to have misunderstandings. I, your wife, would never dare to get angry with you!"

Xiao Yu looked at the Duke's wife with red eyes: "Aunt, can you please ask Aunt Wan for me? I don't mean to embarrass her. I just want to think that if she could have entered the palace to help mother, she would not have died!"

The Duke's wife had a complicated expression. She had been away from Beijing for too long and had no idea what had happened between Lin Yiwan and the Queen.

She didn't dare to make a rash judgment, let alone blame Lin Yiwan for the queen's death.

She quickly whispered to comfort him, "Your Highness, your Aunt Wan is also doing this for your mother's reputation. There is no such thing as having the best of both worlds. You must understand this!"

Xiao Yu threw himself into her arms and burst into tears.

Lin Yiwan couldn't stay in the inner hall for a moment, she wanted to go to the emperor to explain things clearly.

She came to the front hall and went straight to the imperial study.

Emperor Sheng An was holding a brocade handkerchief in his hand. When he suddenly saw Lin Yiwan, a flash of complexity appeared in his eyes.

He frowned and asked, "Wanwan, why are you here? Do you have something to talk to me about?"

Lin Yiwan said in a deep voice, "Royal brother, the Second Prince blames me for the Queen's death. He's still so young, so naturally he can't understand this. Who is gossiping about him?"

She paused before continuing, "What's more important is that he chose the timing very well. It happened to be when the Duke's wife came back to mourn. He must have thought that they all resented me, right?"

Emperor Sheng An was also very shocked. He had never expected that the three-year-old Xiao Yu would do such a thing.

He thought carefully for a moment and then realized what was happening. He smiled bitterly and said, "The wet nurses serving Xiao Yu were arranged by the Queen. They must have instigated him. I will send people to replace them all and deal with them all!"

Lin Yiwan taunted him, "Royal brother, by disposing of them at this critical moment, isn't it simply making Xiao Yu resent me even more? You know full well that the Queen's death had nothing to do with me!"

Emperor Sheng An sighed helplessly, "Wan Wan, I've explained everything clearly to him and Xiao Ling. If you don't believe me, you can ask Li Delu!"

Lin Yiwan immediately frowned. She didn't want to see another queen appear. Xiao Yu hated her at such a young age. Moreover, he was the biological son of Emperor Sheng'an. When he grew up, wouldn't the entire Zhan Yihou Mansion be in danger?

Thinking of this, she broke out in a cold sweat.

She said in a deep voice: "Brother, after the Queen's funeral is over, I will go out of the capital with Zhan Yan to relax and unwind. This way we can stay away from these troubles and let His Royal Highness slowly forget the hatred!"

Emperor Sheng An's expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly tried to stop them, "Wan Wan, how can you leave? Zhan Yan is my brave general. With him, the Sheng Dynasty will be as solid as a rock, and those neighboring small countries will not dare to covet it!"

Lin Yiwan said: "There are many generals in the court, and we don't need Zhan Yan!"

After she finished speaking, she turned and walked away quickly.

She didn't want to see Emperor Sheng An's expression again, it made her feel upset.

Ever since she left the mourning hall, an old maid beside Xiao Yu has been extremely frightened and uneasy.

She couldn't help herself after all, and whispered in his ear, "Your Highness, could it be that the Marquis's wife went to the Emperor to complain? What if the Emperor investigates?"

Xiao Yu frowned and said, "Don't be afraid, Mammy. I will protect you. If my father dares to drive you away, I will lie in the coffin with my mother!"

The old nanny burst into tears immediately, sobbing sadly: "If the Queen is still alive, she would be very pleased to see you being so filial!"

When Xiao Yu remembered his mother, tears began to fall again.

Sure enough, after just a moment, Li Delu obeyed the emperor's order and brought him into the imperial study.

He knelt on the ground trembling with fear and shouted: "Yu'er greets father!"

Seeing his half-injured face, Emperor Sheng An felt as if his heart was broken by a knife.

He asked in a hoarse voice: "Yu'er, did the emperor tell you that your mother's death had nothing to do with anyone else, and it was the emperor's neglect of her that led to her leaving you!"

Xiao Yu looked at him anxiously, "Father, is it Aunt Wan who came to see you? I don't mean to question her. I just want to know the truth. I think if she can help Queen Mother, she might not be so depressed, and she won't die!"
