Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

General's Mansion.

The cold night wind swept in like a beast, the lanterns in the corridor swayed, and the lights flickered.

Jiang Ningwan sat on the bed with her thin body, coughing because of the cold air brought by Qin Beihuang's hurried entry.

The man's knitted brows showed a hint of impatience. "If you have anything to say, just say it quickly. Qingheng is about to give birth, and I have to accompany her."

Jiang Ningwan clenched her clothes tightly with her fingers. "The doctor came here just now and said..."

Qin Beihuang interrupted unhappily, "You know exactly how you got sick. It's been all these years. Just take your medicine and take care of yourself. Don't try to act pitiful and get in my way at this moment."

These simple words stabbed Jiang Ningwan's heart like a knife.

This time the doctor didn't even prescribe any medicine, but only left four words: prepare for your funeral.

But these four words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them at all.

Back then, Qin Beihuang fell in love with the female general of the Lu family on the battlefield. After returning victorious, the first thing he did was to ask for Lu Qingheng's hand in marriage and bring his wife into the mansion.

She was extremely reluctant, but in order for her exiled grandparents to receive Qin Beihuang's care, she endured the grievances and accepted Lu Qingheng, fulfilling their wish and protecting Qin Beihuang's reputation.

But she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart and was unwilling to sleep with Qin Beihuang.

She found it dirty.

She simply took the Ningjin recipe, which made her unable to have children anymore, and stopped Qin Beihuang from having sex with her. However, she accidentally hurt herself and left a chronic illness.

In addition, his health has been deteriorating due to the management of the general's mansion and business over the years.

She thought she had fulfilled her responsibilities as the mistress of the house. She took care of everything inside and outside the house by herself and never owed Qin Beihuang anything.

The only point that could be criticized was that she had taken the gold-condensing formula and had no effect. This very fact sentenced her to death, and no matter what she did, it was wrong.

Jiang Ningwan gritted her teeth and held back her tears. Her pale hands handed over an envelope, and she said earnestly, "I have a favor to ask of you."

Qin Beihuang was also stunned for a moment. Jiang Ningwan was a strong-willed person and had never asked anyone for help.

"what is this?"

"My grandfather was falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy, and I have found evidence! Please present this to the emperor!" Jiang Ningwan's hands trembled slightly.

If her health had not been nearly failing, she would have gone to beat the drum to appeal for justice and redress her grandfather personally!

Qin Beihuang's expression changed slightly, and he hesitated to take the envelope. After a long silence, he stood up and was about to leave. "Let's talk about it another day."

Jiang Ningwan was startled and quickly grabbed his sleeve, her eyes red. "General, for the sake of our seven years of marriage, can you help me this time?"

This is her only chance to save her loved ones!

"Let go! Wait until Qingheng gives birth to the baby!" Qin Beihuang said in a resolute tone.

Jiang Ningwan held on tightly and refused to let go, "Promise me first!"

She tried her best to struggle, but in the end she angered Qin Beihuang.

A huge force threw her off the bed. The pain spread throughout her body, causing her to go numb. An angry voice rang out above her head.

"Jiang Ningwan, do you want to drag the entire General's Mansion into this?"

"Do you know how much Qingheng and I killed on the battlefield to get the General's Mansion to where it is today?"

"Of course, a woman like you who lives in a secluded house has never seen the cruelty and danger of a battlefield. I think you're living a comfortable life now, wearing gold and silver!"

"Even if he's rehabilitated, what good will it do? Can he be reinstated?"

Hearing these words, Jiang Ningwan felt a chill in her heart, and her tearful eyes gradually turned cold.

"I'm not afraid of being torn to pieces, I just want to leave my innocence in this world!"

"General, you've been on the battlefield for many years, don't you even have this little bit of integrity?"

Qin Beihuang's body stiffened, followed by a tremendous rage.

"You just want to rescue your mother and bring her back to Beijing. Let me tell you, your mother died the year she was exiled!"

Jiang Ningwan was instantly struck by lightning and looked up in shock. "Impossible! She's been writing me letters all these years!"

Qin Beihuang said angrily: "Qingheng wrote the letter by imitating your mother's handwriting."

"Your mother was humiliated by local soldiers on her way to exile. Unable to bear the humiliation, she committed suicide."

"Your grandfather and his men clashed with the soldiers and were beaten half to death. They are likely dead now."

Every word was like thunder exploding in Jiang Ningwan's mind, buzzing, and she looked dazed.

Suddenly, there was a dull pain in the chest and a stream of blood spurted out.

Qin Beihuang's eyes darkened and he turned to leave, "I'll let Li Chun take care of you."

Jiang Ningwan's eyes were red as if they were about to bleed when she came to her senses. She rushed to the door and roared, "Why did Lu Qingheng imitate my mother's handwriting? What is her intention?!"

"I want to find out!"

As soon as he rushed into the cold wind, he was pulled back by a huge force.

Qin Beihuang's face was sullen. "Qingheng is doing this for your own good. She's straightforward and doesn't have as many thoughts as you do. Don't judge others by your own standards!"

Jiang Ningwan fell to the ground, her hair disheveled and her clothes stained with blood. She was in so much pain that she couldn't get up. She sneered at herself and laughed until tears came out.

When Qin Beihuang asked to marry her, he also said that she was a woman from a military family and had a straightforward temperament, which was different from other women in the world. He promised that she would be the only one for him in his life!

"For my own good?"

"Seven years! You've lied to me for seven years!" Jiang Ningwan gritted her teeth.

Back then, my maternal grandfather's family was convicted and exiled, and my mother was also implicated and exiled for seeking justice for my grandfather. All these years, she had been suffering in the general's mansion, just thinking that Qin Beihuang would take care of her maternal grandfather's family.

Wait until she finds evidence to exonerate her and bring her mother and her grandparents back home.

But now she was told that her mother and her maternal grandparents had died long ago.

He used a fake letter from home to trick her into willingly giving everything for the General's Mansion, crushing her pride and dignity.

Blood kept gushing out of her mouth. She fell to the ground with blurred vision. She only saw Qin Beihuang hurriedly leaving.

Qin Beihuang, you guys deceived me so much...

She felt resentful and closed her eyes unwillingly.

Soon, Lichun's crying voice was heard in the courtyard: "Madam is dead!"
