"Wanqing, what should we do?"
Before Zou Wanqing could reply to Zou Shuang'er, she spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground.
"Pfft~"
Seeing this, Zou Shuang'er trembled as she got up from the ground and hugged Zou Wanqing, "Wanqing, what... what's wrong with you?"
"Waaah, don't scare your mother!"
She kept wiping Zou Wanqing's mouth with both hands, her voice choked with sobs.
Zou Wanqing forced a smile, "Mother, it's nothing. It's probably because the power in my body isn't strong enough to sustain it, so I suffered a backlash."
"Wanqing, what should we do..."
What's going on?
Suddenly, the Marquis of Zhenbei's shouts rang out from outside the courtyard, "How did Yu Shuang and Zhi Yan die?"
Zou Shuang'er was startled by the voice of the Marquis of Zhenbei behind her.
She turned back guiltily, "Master...Master..."
“Father.” Zou Wanqing reached out her hand to the Marquis of Zhenbei, “Someone…someone killed two concubines.”
Seeing his daughter's mouth covered in blood, the Marquis of Zhenbei immediately knelt down. "Wanqing, what happened to you?"
"Who? Who wants to kill you?"
"It was... Madam... Madam sent people to kill them. I tried to stop them, but thankfully you and Mother came, otherwise... otherwise you would never have seen me again." Zou Wanqing said weakly.
The Marquis of Zhenbei had bloodshot eyes and clenched fists.
"You mean, it was Ye Lanyin who did it?" His voice was full of anger.
"Hmm." After saying this, Zou Wanqing closed her eyes and fainted.
Zou Shuang'er was heartbroken and cried as she hugged her, "Wanqing, how are you? Wanqing, don't scare your mother..."
The Marquis of Zhenbei stood up, turned and walked towards his two concubines lying in a pool of blood. He then squatted down, trembling as he checked their breaths. He abruptly withdrew his hand, startled, and fell to the ground.
"Ye Lanyin!" he gritted his teeth, his eyes seeming to spit fire.
Immediately afterward, disregarding his daughter who had fainted on the ground, he frantically rushed out of the mansion.
Inside Ping'an Prefecture.
Lin Wanwan was taken away by Eunuch Wang.
Ye Lanyin, along with Huaxin and Huamei, prepared to go to the manor to take a look.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Open the door!"
"Open the door!"
"Bang! Bang!"
"Coming, coming, who is it..."
Just as Tian Zhong was about to leave with Ye Lanyin, the Marquis of Zhenbei rushed in from outside.
"Ye Lanyin, you said you wouldn't remarry me, but behind my back you had two of my concubines killed. Are you even human?"
Ye Lanyin's smile froze.
"Lin Dehong, who gave you permission to come in?"
The Marquis of Zhenbei glared angrily and said, "Ye Lanyin, stop pretending. Did you send someone to the Marquis's residence to kill Yu Shuang and Zhiyan?"
Ye Lanyin frowned slightly. "Are you ever going to stop? You came to me one minute and then accused me of murder the next?"
"If you are not thinking clearly, please see a doctor. Men, throw the Marquis of Zhenbei out."
"yes."
Hua Mei rolled up her sleeves, grabbed the collar of the Marquis of Zhenbei's robe, and slung it towards the door in a fit of pique.
"Get out!"
The Marquis of Zhenbei wanted to resist, but he was no match for Huamei. He was dragged to the door and thrown to the ground by Huamei.
With a "bang," the Marquis of Zhenbei fell to the ground.
He angrily got up from the ground, pointed at Ye Lanyin and cursed, "You...you've gone too far!!"
"Ye Lanyin, you have disregarded human life and killed Yu Shuang and Zhiyan. I will report this to the authorities right now."
Ye Lanyin touched the jade pendant on her wrist and chuckled, "Alright, let's go together. I'm going to report you for trespassing."
He then took out a handkerchief from his waist. "Let's go, Huamei."
Hua Mei hurriedly replied, "Yes, Madam."
The Marquis of Zhenbei was almost furious at Ye Lanyin's attitude.
How could it be my fault when my concubine was killed?
Without waiting for the Marquis of Zhenbei's reply, Ye Lanyin got into the carriage and headed towards the government office.
The regent walked out of the door, glanced at the other regent, and snorted coldly.
"Mo Feng, come with me! I'm going to be a witness!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Meanwhile, on this side...
After Lin Wanwan was taken to the palace, she was received by the Holy Emperor and taken to the Imperial Study.
At this moment, Lin Wanwan was having a great time playing with Tianfeng in the Imperial Study.
"Wanwan, my ancestor appeared in my dream again yesterday, saying he saw you. Is it true?"
The Holy Emperor crouched down and leaned close to Lin Wanwan, asking her affectionately.
Lin Wanwan raised her head and thought for a moment.
"Yes, that's right~"
"He's so timid, he's my sixth dad~"
"Sixth Father?" the Holy Emperor repeated in surprise, as if he had guessed something. He immediately raised his hand and started counting on his fingers.
"My father, my grandfather, my great-grandfather, my great-great-grandfather, my heavenly grandfather..."
He then glanced at her.
"Sixth Father, our ancestor Xiao Dayuan?"
After the Holy Emperor finished speaking, he silently prayed in his heart.
Ancestors, my grandson had no intention of offending you by name. I was merely confirming your identity. Please forgive my petty offense and do not hold it against me.
"Mmm~"
Lin Wanwan grabbed Tianfeng and stood up. "He... is now the head of the miscellaneous tasks, doing odd jobs~"
"You've managed to get an official position?" the Holy Emperor exclaimed excitedly. "And a commander-in-chief at that?"
"Mmm."
He also designed a floating tower for the underworld, allowing people to go up and down stairs without walking.
[Sister Ya Ning has met him before, and she even taught him how to play cards!]
Our ancestor truly deserves to be called our progenitor.
To be able to secure a minor official position in the underworld, the Holy Kingdom must have some powerful backing.
