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

Wu Bohou Mansion.

Upon learning that Qiu Cheng was involved in such a serious case, everyone finally felt relieved.

Soon Jiang Ningwan arrived and the family sat together in the room.

"Qiu Cheng has committed a serious crime that has implicated nine generations of his family. If I marry him and he uncovers this case, our family will be finished." Pei Xunzhi felt a surge of fear.

Holding Jiang Ningwan's hand, he said, "Thanks to you this time."

"The Xiao family's trap was originally set for me. I'm the one who implicated you. Of course, I can't just watch you jump into the fire pit."

Pei Xunzhi nodded, then looked at her father hesitantly.

"Dad, if their plan fails, they will definitely target me again."

"I don't want to be a rich girl waiting to get married at home."

This incident made her realize how helpless a woman's marriage was. Even though her father tried his best to support her, he could not defeat the imperial power.

If she doesn't agree to this marriage, the whole family will be implicated.

Wu Bohou understood what she meant and his expression became more serious. "I know what you want to do, but your mother and I are worried."

At this time, Wu Bohou's wife hurriedly said: "I am indeed worried, but I hope my daughter can do what she wants to do."

"Marriage is a matter of great importance, and no longer should it be manipulated by others."

"A tiger father will have a dog son. I believe in Xunzhi."

Finally, Wu Bohou nodded and said, "Since your mother has said so, then you can do what you want to do."

As soon as the words fell, Pei Xunzhi took Jiang Ningwan's hand and said, "Sister Wan, I want to join the Lingwei Army."

"I'll go to the battlefield with you from now on!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was shocked.

Seeing that she was so determined and her parents also agreed, Jiang Ningwan nodded and agreed.

"Row."

“Our team has grown again.”

But she felt that this shouldn't be the only way for a woman to escape her fate.

……

Qi family.

Before Lin Qinglai had the time to change his name and recognize his ancestral roots, the government officials arrived.

"Who is Lin Qinglai!"

Everyone in the mansion was extremely nervous.

Lin Qinglai walked over calmly and said, "I am."

"take away!"

Lin Qinglai was immediately escorted out of the mansion.

Rong Niang quickly chased after him, her heart burning with tears, "Qing Lai! Qing Lai!"

Lin Qinglai was arrested and a key witness was found.

But Qiu Cheng's case still made Jiang Ningwan anxious and uneasy.

It wasn't until seven or eight days later that new evidence emerged.

Yan Yue wrote to the court that the bandits captured in the northwest were not bandits, but soldiers who were threatened by Qiu Cheng to dig illegal mines. They could not stand Qiu Cheng's inhumane methods, so they defected and made trouble everywhere just to attract the attention of the court.

There is sufficient evidence that Qiu Cheng secretly mined iron ore to cast weapons and sold them to the enemy country.

However, more evidence is needed to re-examine the Ling family's case.

Just when Jiang Ningwan was worried, Qiu Cheng in the prison actually confessed his guilt.

All sins were confessed.

The reason why he framed the Ling family was because the Ling family discovered the secret of his private sale of weapons, so he took the initiative to get rid of the Ling family.

According to the law, the crime committed by Qiu Cheng should be punished with the punishment of nine generations of his clan.

But he never married and had no children.

Jiang Ningwan still had many confusions in her mind and decided to see him again before he was executed.

But she went back to the Prince of Chu's Mansion first.

"Your Majesty."

A familiar voice came, and Qin Shuangchi, who was sitting in a chair with his eyes closed, was slightly startled.

When I opened my eyes, it wasn't an illusion.

"You're back."

Jiang Ning sat down before dinner, poured out the cold tea, and poured two more cups.

"How is your Majesty these days?"

"It's okay."

"Qiu Cheng has been convicted."

"Congratulations."

Perhaps because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, the two became more and more distant.

"Your Highness, Qiu Cheng is the deputy commander of the Northern Territory. You should know him well. Does he have a wife and children in the Northern Territory?"

Qin Shuangchi knew her intention as soon as he heard it, "There is a son born to a maid, but he has no status."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's eyes lit up. As expected, there was a child in the north.

"I have to go to the prison, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Ningwan immediately stood up and left.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Qin Shuangchi's eyes. He looked at the two newly poured cups of tea on the table without moving.

Pick up a glass and drink it all.

……

Government prison.

The dank dungeon was filled with the smell of blood.

The first person Jiang Ningwan saw was Lin Qinglai in the cell. He had become so thin that he seemed like a different person. He was sitting against the wall in prison clothes, looking lifeless.

Until Jiang Ningwan arrived outside the cell door.

Lin Qinglai's eyes, hidden under his messy hair, swept up along the pair of shoes. When he saw Jiang Ningwan, he suddenly stood up and rushed over, grabbing the prison door.

"Jiang Ningwan, you promised me that you would take care of my mother and let her spend her old age in peace."

"She is isolated and helpless in Hou Mansion, please help her!"

Jiang Ningwan promised, "I will take care of her. Do you have anything else you want to tell her?"

Lin Qinglai smiled bitterly, tears in his eyes, "She must feel ashamed to have a daughter like me. I don't have the face to tell her anything."

As she spoke, she slowly raised her head and looked at Jiang Ningwan.

"Now that the Ling family has overturned the verdict, Ling Chaowen can have a tomb built and a monument erected, right? When the time comes, please help me bring this to his grave."

"He gave this to me. Someone like me doesn't deserve such a good thing. Give it back to him."

Lin Qinglai took out a jade ring from his messy hair. The ring was a little dirty and deformed, but the jade, which was as big as a thumb, was exceptionally clean and bright.

Jiang Ningwan was shocked when he saw this thing.

I took it and looked at it carefully, and a feeling of bitterness and anger welled up in my heart.

"This was passed down from my grandmother to my aunt."

"Ling Chaowen couldn't have stolen it! This was given to you by my aunt! It was passed down to the Ling family's daughter-in-law!"

"The Ling family has already determined that you are Ling Chaowen's only wife!"

Jiang Ningwan never expected that Ling Chaowen, the playboy, was actually serious.

After hearing this, Lin Qinglai's face suddenly changed, and his hands, which were tightly gripping the prison door, couldn't stop shaking.

Staring at the emerald ring in disbelief.

"What did you say? This was passed on to the Ling family's daughter-in-law?"

"You didn't lie to me?"

Jiang Ningwan frowned and sighed helplessly, "You're about to be executed, why would I lie to you?"

At that moment, Lin Qinglai felt as if he was struck by lightning. He felt powerless and only held on to the prison door tightly to avoid falling.

Tears of regret suddenly burst out.

Her throat tightened and her voice choked: "I thought he just used it to make me happy... Isn't that what all rich people do?"

She had never thought that the Ling family would accept her and let a woman of such humble status become the wife of the eldest son of the Ling family.

She never thought that Ling Chaowen's feelings for her were not just a spur-of-the-moment thing.

Jiang Ningwan held the ring tightly, and even though it hurt her palm, she did not let go.

If there had been no frame-up, Lin Qinglai could have changed the fate of himself and his mother.

The Ling family might have already started planning their wedding.

"The fact that Ling Chaowen was able to bring you back to the Ling family, and that you were able to easily enter General Ling's bedroom, is enough to show how much they value you and that they are not wary of you."

After saying that, Jiang Ningwan left with heavy steps.

Lin Qinglai fell to the ground powerlessly, tears streaming down his face, leaving only endless regret.

Jiang Ningwan calmed down and walked to the depths of the dungeon where serious criminals were held.

It is dimly lit and deadly silent here, with no sound whatsoever, as if one has already experienced the feeling of death in advance.

Hearing the long-lost footsteps, a hint of relief appeared on Qiu Cheng's pale face.

"Is the execution going to take place?"

Jiang Ningwan said quietly, "You have a son in the North."

Qiu Cheng's whole body trembled and his pupils trembled.
