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

Before she had time to think about it, Qi's words the next moment made her stand there in shock.

"It was you who insisted on marrying the King of Chu. I begged your father so hard that he agreed to give up the engagement to you and hurriedly married Jiang Ningwan to the Qin family."

"Now you say you won't marry the King of Chu?"

Jiang Ningwan's mind buzzed.

No wonder Qin Beihuang had to go to war two years ago and had no time to prepare for the wedding. She originally wanted to wait for Qin Beihuang to return from the war before discussing marriage, but her father insisted on marrying her to him and the marriage was hastily arranged.

It turned out that he wanted to leave the King of Chu's engagement to Jiang Xiru.

Jiang Xiru can marry whoever she wants, and her thoughts and choices are not important.

My cheeks felt inexplicably hot again, but my heart felt cold.

Jiang Xiru knelt on the ground and cried, "The King of Chu doesn't want to marry me anyway, so he's happy to cancel the engagement!"

After hearing this, Jiang Ningwan became even more suspicious whether Jiang Xiru was reborn.

But this time, the King of Chu did not come to cancel the engagement.

Jiang Xiru was so emotional that she fainted all of a sudden. Seeing this, Qi had no choice but to call the maid in to take care of Jiang Xiru.

After leaving the room, Qi saw Jiang Ningwan here and immediately put on a smile, "Wan'er, I forgot to tell you, this Qinghui Garden is..."

"This is the yard where my mother used to live." Jiang Ningwan felt aggrieved.

Qi smiled and said nonchalantly, "Didn't she get divorced? She's not from the Duke's Mansion anymore, so why keep the yard for her?"

"You're married now. It's a shame to leave such a nice yard empty."

Jiang Ningwan unconsciously clenched her sleeves.

"What about the things my mother and I used to have?"

Qi thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be in the backyard utility room. Go look for it."

"The King of Chu is still waiting, so I won't accompany you to look for him."

After saying that, Qi raised her hand and stroked the gold hairpin on her head, raised her chin and walked away.

Jiang Ningwan glanced at it unintentionally, but her pupils tightened. The phoenix-holding-a-pearl hairpin was a gift from the empress dowager to her mother!

Such precious jewelry was just put on, intentionally for her to see.

Jiang Ningwan suppressed his anger and turned to leave. Just then, Ling'er ran out of the room in a panic.

"What happened to Jiang Xiru?"

"The second young lady has a fever again."

Jiang Ningwan was puzzled, "Again? Did something happen to Jiang Xiru recently?"

Ling'er replied, "A few days ago, the Second Miss seemed to have had a dream that frightened her severely, and she suddenly developed a high fever. The doctor couldn't find any symptoms."

"Can a dream be this scary?" Jiang Ningwan felt unbelievable.

"I don't know, but I often hear the Second Young Lady having nightmares at night, always begging for mercy and shouting, 'Don't kill me.'"

Jiang Ningwan's eyebrows twitched.

Sure enough, there is something fishy.

If Jiang Xiru was really reborn, then it means that her death in the previous life was not due to falling into the water, but being murdered?

Is it related to the King of Chu?

"I'll go and boil some medicine for the second young lady first!" Ling'er bowed and left in a hurry.

Jiang Ningwan also left Qinghui Garden and called Li Chun to go to the backyard together.

She went back home today to get something.

She had known for a long time that her father would not allow her to divorce, so she did not place any hopes on him at the beginning.

When the retired emperor was still alive, her mother, as a commoner, joined the army and killed hundreds of enemies, which was against the rules. However, when the retired emperor found out, he did not punish her. Instead, he praised her mother for being the daughter of a general, gave her a golden crane jade pendant, and promised that she could ask him for any reward.

But it cannot involve state affairs.

This golden crane jade pendant has been put away for many years. My mother told me to use it to save my life, but it was not useful when my grandfather got into trouble.

Two years ago, she encountered a sudden change of events and was immersed in grief. She was hurriedly married into the Qin family and then became busy with all the affairs of the mansion and looking for evidence to overturn the case.

He then forgot the golden crane jade pendant in the Duke's Mansion.

When I opened the door of the utility room, dust hit me in the face.

"Cough cough cough..."

Boxes of all sizes were piled here, covered in dust, and mice were squeaking in the corners.

"That's outrageous! The young lady is married, isn't she?... They actually piled her things here."

Jiang Ningwan was filled with anger. She wanted to take back everything that belonged to her!

"Let's find something first. I remember it was in a black box."

"it is good."

The two opened the box and started searching.

But after searching through all the boxes and cabinets in the utility room, the black box was not found.

Even all the valuable gold and silver jewelry were gone.

The two men rolled over, looking at the empty box with anger.

"All the valuable things are gone. They must have been embezzled by them." Lichun was angry and distressed. The young lady suffered bullying in the general's mansion and she suffered bullying again when she returned to her parents' home.

If the Ling family were still around, they would definitely protect the young lady and stand up for her, and those two people from the Duke's Mansion wouldn't dare to go so far.

Jiang Ningwan suppressed her anger and walked out of the utility room.

Go straight to Qinghui Garden.

"Miss, what do you want to do?" Li Chun quickly followed.

"Lichun, remember what I said."

"Go to the front yard. No matter what happens, no matter what method you use, you must hold the King of Chu back and not let him escape."

With the door closed, there was no point in her resisting some things.

Taking advantage of the fact that the King of Chu is here today, her father will compromise for the sake of his face and reputation.

Lichun nodded seriously.

In the room, Ling'er was feeding Jiang Xiru medicine. Jiang Ningwan walked into the room and glanced at the dressing table. The red hairpins and jewelry on it all looked familiar.

But the black box containing the golden crane jade pendant was not seen.

"Miss." Ling'er stood up and saluted.

Jiang Ning took the medicine bowl from her hand before the night fell, and gave Jiang Xiru, who was lying on the bed, a cold look in her eyes. "Go down, I'll feed Xiru the medicine."

"It just so happens that we two sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's catch up."

Jiang Xiru stared at Jiang Ningwan, looking at her bright and beautiful appearance, full of wealth, and smiled bitterly: "I really envy my sister."

"The mistress of the house, clothed in fine clothes and fed with delicious food, is truly a life of boundless glory..."

Jiang Ningwan smiled faintly and put down the medicine bowl. In the seven years of her previous life, everyone thought so.

But who knows what is underneath the glamorous appearance?

The fine clothes and delicious food were given to her by her mother and had nothing to do with the general's mansion.

"The King of Chu came today to discuss marriage and betrothal gifts. My sister's wedding must be approaching. Marrying into the Prince of Chu's mansion, she will enjoy endless wealth and splendor, which is much more glorious and grand than mine."

Jiang Ningwan observed Jiang Xiru's expression with a deep gaze.

Upon hearing that the King of Chu was not here to cancel the engagement, Jiang Xiru was extremely shocked and could not hide her panic.

Suddenly, he grabbed Jiang Ningwan's arm and said excitedly, "You like it? Then how about we switch? You go marry the King of Chu!"

Jiang Ningwan coldly brushed her hand away. "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? Although the King of Chu looks cold, he will definitely treat you well."

At this time, Jiang Xiru's eyes were red and full of fear.

"My jewelry, do you like it?" Jiang Ningwan's slightly cool fingertips brushed across the topaz earrings on Jiang Xiru's ears.

Jiang Xiru nervously dodged, her eyes evasive and she felt a little guilty.

"This is what my father gave me."

Jiang Ningwan's eyes turned cold, and he grabbed her wrist, revealing the emerald green jade bracelet on her wrist.

Jiang Xiru was extremely panicked, but she couldn't break free from Jiang Ningwan's hand.

"I won't fight with you for these jewelry."

"Give me back the black box."

Jiang Xiru was shocked and started to struggle excitedly, "What black box? I've never seen one before!"

Looking at her expression, Jiang Ningwan was sure that the thing was with her, and she knew what it was.

Jiang Ningwan's eyes were icy as she threatened word by word, "If you don't return it to me, I will tell King Chu that you have been reborn."
