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

Chapter 1337 Naughty

Lin Yiwan stood aside, watching the horrific scene before her, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. This battle had ultimately ended in their victory, but the price was far too heavy; blood and lives were, in the end, the most innocent victims of this conflict.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from afar. A soldier rushed over and shouted to Xie Jianshu, "General, there are still a few men in black who escaped and are running towards the mountains!"

Xie Jianshu's eyes sharpened, and he immediately said, "Take a few men and go after them! We can't let them get away!"

Several soldiers who were still in good physical condition immediately responded, gripped their weapons tightly, and chased after the direction the soldier pointed.

Lin Yiwan stepped forward and said, "I'll go with you. Those people are very cunning. It'll be good to have someone else to help." Xie Jianshu nodded in agreement and cautioned, "Be careful. They'll fight back desperately if they're cornered."

Lin Yiwan hummed in agreement, and with a flash, she took the lead and chased after the mountains and forests.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground. The forest was silent except for the sounds of hurried footsteps and the clanging of weapons.

The men in black running at the front were clearly exhausted, their speed was getting slower and slower, and the pursuers behind them were getting closer and closer. Their faces were filled with fear.

After chasing for about half an incense stick's time, Lin Yiwan and the others finally caught up with the men in black.

Seeing that there was nowhere to escape, the other party simply stopped, turned around, looked at them fiercely, gripped the long knife tightly in his hand, and prepared to fight to the death.

"Today, it's either you die or we perish!" a man in black roared, charging towards the soldiers first.

The soldiers immediately rushed forward, and the sound of clashing weapons echoed through the mountains and forests once again.

Lin Yiwan stood by with silver needles, ready to help any soldier who was at a disadvantage.

In a short while, all the men in black were captured alive.

They knelt on the ground, trembling all over.

A murderous glint flashed in Lin Yiwan's eyes. These remnants of the Heavenly Mandate Hall were exceptionally ruthless and could not be left alive.

She commanded in a cold voice, "Kill them!"

One of the men in black broke down and demanded, "We're all helpless now, why do you still want our lives? How can you be so cruel?"

Lin Yiwan slowly said, "If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze. Your Heavenly Mandate Hall is already at odds with our Zhan family to the death, so how can I spare your lives?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the silver needle in her hand pierced the man's throat.

The man in black fell backward to the ground, his eyes wide open in death.

The rest were also killed, and Lin Yiwan ordered her men to drag their bodies into a deep pit and bury them.

She had just finished cleaning up when she saw Zhan Yan rushing over with Zhan Miao.

He asked worriedly, "Wanwan, are you alright?"

Lin Yiwan saw that he was also covered in blood, and guessed that Ah Zhi had also been attacked.

She said softly, "I'm fine. With Xie Jianshu here, those remnants of the Heavenly Mandate Hall have all been wiped out. What about your side?"

Zhan Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He said in a low voice, "I didn't leave any survivors. I've already sent someone to inform Ah Xuan that he can't let his guard down against the remnants of the Heavenly Mandate Hall. These people are like venomous snakes lurking in the shadows, ready to leap out at any moment!"

Lin Yiwan nodded in agreement: "You did the right thing. We need to make Ah Xuan more vigilant, otherwise, the entire country of Li will be plunged into turmoil!"

The two returned to Ah Zhi's house to rest for a while, and only after Yan'er recovered did they prepare to set off back to Shengchao.

Ah-Zhi and Ah-Yuan were very grateful to Lin Yi-Wan and prepared a lot of prey for her.

Zhan Qingning's pregnancy stabilized, and after she got into the carriage, she felt no more discomfort.

When they returned to the capital of the prosperous dynasty, it was already the dead of winter.

It had just snowed, and the whole street was covered in white.

Zhan Miao ran back and forth excitedly in the snow, and said happily, "I'm finally back! I missed home so much after staying in Liguo for so long!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than she heard a loud hoofbeat from not far away.

Immediately afterwards, a figure jumped down from the horse and called out urgently, "Sister, brother-in-law, I've come to get you!"

Lin Yiwan looked closely and recognized Xiao Rui.

He had grown quite a bit taller since I last saw him.

The eunuch following behind him said anxiously, "Oh dear, Your Highness, please slow down! This snowy ground is so slippery, please don't fall!"

Xiao Rui ignored him and rushed into Lin Yiwan's arms.

She reached out and caught him: "Why did you come alone? Did Mother and Father feel comfortable letting you leave the palace alone?"

Xiao Rui blinked: "Of course they wouldn't trust me if I told them. I sneaked out, and Zhan Mu and Madam Xie were behind me!"

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but pinch his nose: "You naughty boy, you can't be so impulsive in the future. You are a prince of the current dynasty, how can you leave the palace so casually?"

Xiao Rui frowned and interrupted, "Who can say anything about me picking up my sister!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes welled up with tears of grievance: "Why did you go for so long? I missed you so much, and Mother missed you too. She asked Father almost every day if there were any messages from Li Kingdom!"

Lin Yiwan hugged him tightly and said, "I'm sorry, a lot has happened to the royal family of Liguo, and we've been held up!"

Xiao Rui was well aware of her difficulties. He patted her shoulder like a little adult and said, "It's good that you're back, sister. Mother has already ordered people to clean up the Zhanyi Marquis's residence. It will be very warm at home when you go back!"

Then Zhan Miao walked over and bowed to him, reluctantly calling out, "Uncle!"

She was really angry. He was younger than her, but he was a generation older.

Xiao Rui smiled, his eyes narrowing: "My little kitty, look what good stuff I brought you!"

He untied the bundle on his back and took out a very thick red fox fur cloak.

Fox fur is common, but red fox fur is very rare.

Zhan Miao was so surprised that his big, dark eyes widened: "It's so beautiful! Uncle, where did you get this red fox fur?"

Xiao Rui draped the cloak over her shoulders, which made her small face appear even more fair and radiant.

He replied gently, "It's a very expensive fox fur, a tribute from the Western Regions. There's only one of its kind, and I used it to make a cloak for you!"

Zhan Miao smiled, her eyes narrowing. She didn't mind calling him "uncle" anymore.

Tell me, who in this world can be so pampered and cherished by Xiao Rui?

Just then, the welcoming carriages arrived in a grand procession.

Lin Yiwan hadn't seen her father and mother for a long time, so they naturally exchanged pleasantries.

When they returned to the Marquis of Zhanyi's residence, they found the courtyard already packed with people.

The Meng family, the Fang Qingshan family, and several children were building a snowman, filling the yard with laughter.
