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

When her face was distorted with pain, she slowly asked, "Tell me, who sent you here?"

The woman was in so much pain that cold sweat was already running down her forehead. She tried to get away with it.

She forced herself to say, "Miss Xiaoruan, you misunderstood. No one sent me here. I was just worried that you and Miss Miaomiao would be in danger, so I secretly accompanied you to protect you!"

Little Meow blinked her big eyes: "But we don't even know you, why are you protecting us? And you're wearing the same clothes as Auntie Xiaoruan. From a distance, I thought you were her!"

The woman wanted to deny it, but the severe pain prevented her from opening her mouth.

Until Lin Xiaoruan's sneer came from above: "Do you know what kind of poison you took? It's called Heartbreak Powder. It will cause you to suffer the pain of heartbreak. The longer you delay, the more useless even the antidote will be!"

Little Meow Meow urged sullenly, "Still refusing to speak?"

How could the woman dare to hide it? She could only answer: "It was Madam Cui. She asked me to do it. I disguised myself as a little girl and pushed Miss Zhan into the water!"

Lin Xiaoruan was shaking with anger. She had underestimated the cruelty of the Cui family and actually set her sights on Xiao Miaomiao.

She must not let this go!

Without further hesitation, she immediately dragged her maid towards the palace banquet.

Just at this moment, a handsome figure walked towards this side. When he saw Lin Xiaoruan, a look of joy appeared on his face.

He shouted, "Little soft girl!"

Lin Xiaoruan looked at him blankly, thinking for a moment, but still couldn't remember who he was.

Due to etiquette, she had no choice but to speak: "Sir, I have urgent matters to attend to. Can you please step aside first?"

The man guessed that she couldn't remember him and was not disappointed at the moment.

He took the initiative to introduce himself: "Have you forgotten me? My name is Tang Mingxuan, and my father is Tang Qizheng, the commander of Suzhou. I was previously recuperating in the Zhan Yihou Mansion. Thanks to your care!"

Lin Xiaoruan remembered that the Zhan Yihou Mansion was very lively before.

There are two young masters recuperating from injuries, one is Tang Mingxuan, and the other is Jingcheng Prince Mo Lingyue. Of course, he can’t be called Prince now, as he has become the Lord of Jingcheng.

She quickly concealed her thoughts and said, "It's Master Tang. Long time no see!"

Tang Mingxuan smiled happily: "Yes, it has been a long time since we last met. Since I returned to Suzhou, my father has taken me to the army for training. Otherwise, I would have returned to Beijing to visit Miss Xiaoruan long ago!"

Lin Xiaoruan was still thinking about complaining to Lin Yiwan at this moment, so she wanted to quickly end the greeting with him.

He seemed to have noticed it and subconsciously asked, "Miss Xiaoruan, have you encountered any difficulties?"

Lin Xiaoruan answered simply: "Yes, someone wants to harm my sister's daughter, I have to go tell her quickly!"

Tang Mingxuan reminded: "Miss Xiaoruan, the banquet is in progress now. If you drag her in rashly, I'm afraid it will attract everyone's attention. It would be better to invite the Marquis' wife out and handle it privately, so as to avoid other people's gossip!"

Lin Xiaoruan was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. Yes, she was indeed a little impulsive.

The guests at this banquet were all very important officials from various places, and there were also envoys from other countries.

If she were to make a scene without caring about the consequences, the Zhan Yihou Mansion would surely be in the spotlight.

It will indeed cause trouble to my brother-in-law and sister.

After she figured this out, she calmed down.

She thanked him decisively: "Thank you, Mr. Tang, for reminding me. Could you please go in and tell my sister, I'm waiting for her outside!"

Tang Mingxuan readily agreed: "Okay, I'm happy to help Miss Xiaoruan run errands!"

He turned and walked towards the main hall, and Xiao Miaomiao, who was hiding behind Lin Xiaoruan, whispered, "Aunt Xiaoruan, I think this young master likes you very much!"

Lin Xiaoruan quickly covered her mouth: "Meow, don't talk nonsense. Mr. Tang is the son of the commander of Suzhou. How could he like an unknown little girl like me?"

Little Miaomiao took her hand away: "Auntie Xiaoruan, I can see that the way he looks at you is like the way Daddy looks at Mommy, bright and infatuated!"

Lin Xiaoruan felt even more ashamed. She didn't understand how Xiao Miaomiao, who was so young, could say such words. Did she know what it meant to be obsessed?

Before she could figure it out, Lin Yiwan walked out quickly.

Tang Mingxuan was still following behind her, which made Lin Xiaoruan's originally calm heart beat wildly.

Little Miaomiao was the first to complain: "Mother, this maid dressed up as Auntie Xiaoruan and wanted to kill me. Fortunately, Auntie Xiaoruan was on guard and didn't let her succeed!"

Lin Yiwan's expression suddenly turned cold and ugly. She asked in a deep voice, "Who ordered you to do this?"

The maid replied tremblingly, "Mrs. Cui!"

Lin Yiwan did not delay and immediately ordered someone to take Mrs. Cui into a quiet palace.

She shouted angrily, "It's not me. Don't try to pin the blame on me. I don't know where you got this slut from. I don't even know her!"

The maid cried and argued: "Madam, my indenture is still in Cui's house. How can you deny it?"

"Bang!" Mrs. Cui kicked her to the ground.

She said viciously: "Nonsense, tell me, were you instructed by someone else to deliberately frame the Cui family?"

Lin Yiwan sarcastically said, "Madam Cui, it's impossible to erase the traces of a person's existence. You may deny that her indenture is in your hands, but I can order someone to search your yard!"

Madam Cui looked at her in disbelief. "How dare you? Even if you are powerful, you can't search the residence of an imperial official at will!"

Lin Yiwan ignored her and instructed Tang Mingxuan, "Go to the front hall and invite Marquis Zhan Yi and the Cui family father and son. They need to make the decision on this matter!"

"Yes!" Tang Mingxuan quickly took the order and left.

Soon, Zhan Yan hurried over with Minister Cui and his son.

He asked with a serious face, "Wanwan, what's going on?"

Little Miaomiao was the first to feel wronged, her eyes reddening. "Daddy, someone wants to harm me. They say it was Madam Cui who ordered it. Mommy questioned her, but she still doesn't admit it!"

Cui Shangshu's expression changed drastically. He turned and glared at Mrs. Cui, who was terrified. "Did you do this?"

Madam Cui flatly denied it: "I didn't do it. They found a lowly maid from nowhere and threw dirty water on me. How could I have ordered her to murder the Zhan family's carefully protected eyeball?"

Cui Lingxian also spoke up: "Father, Mother has always been gentle and kind. How could she do such a vicious thing? There must be a misunderstanding!"

Madam Cui nodded hurriedly: "Yes, my son is right, I have been wronged. My husband, you must make the decision for me!"

Lin Yiwan subconsciously looked at Cui Lingxian. He was wearing green brocade clothes and looked handsome, but there was a hint of cunning between his eyebrows.

No wonder Qin Jinjin married him. It’s true that fish seek fish, shrimp seek shrimp, and turtles seek tortoises.
