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

Feng Chan brought two maids and held Lu Qingheng down, trying to drag him out of the hall.

Lu Qingheng looked flustered. He broke away from them and hurriedly explained, "Grandmother, I'm being wronged. Those letters really have nothing to do with me! I didn't know!"

"Grandmother, even if you want to punish me, you should let me know where I went wrong, right?"

She refused to admit it.

There's nothing you can do to her.

The Queen Mother's expression was serious. "You're still trying to quibble! I know what kind of person you are, but I never thought you would do such a thing."

"Even your pillowmate is being framed."

"Bei Huang came to me last time and begged me to forgive you for a whole day, and you turned around and wrote him a letter pretending to be Jiang Ningwan. If he really changed his mind, do you think that would be a handle on you?"

Lu Qingheng's face turned pale. Stared at by the empress dowager's sharp eyes, he was too guilty to dare to look up.

Qin Beihuang felt a little sorry for what he saw, so he stepped forward and knelt down, "Grandmother, Qingheng must have been confused for a moment. I beg for your forgiveness."

The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "Confused?"

"She is confused, but the people behind her are not!"

Framing Jiang Ningwan is not just about hating Jiang Ningwan.

The Lu family has the support of the Queen and the Crown Prince, and Jiang Ningwan is the cousin of the Third Prince. If this frame-up succeeds, Jiang Ningwan's future will be ruined, and she will also lose the support of the King of Chu, which will undoubtedly cut off the Third Prince's arm.

It's not like she hasn't seen royal families fighting before, so she can clearly see through these tactics.

"You're not doing your job properly, but imitating Jiang Ningwan's handwriting. What are your intentions? I don't need to point them out!"

"If you don't admit it, I'll slap you in the face until you confess!"

Lu Qingheng's face was pale and his eyes were full of fear.

Qin Beihuang wanted to plead: "Grandmother..."

The Queen Mother looked displeased and coldly scolded, "If you still want to call me the Imperial Grandmother, then shut up!"

The warning is so clear.

Qin Beihuang's heart tightened and he didn't dare to say another word.

If he is expelled from the royal family, everything will be over.

So, he could only watch Lu Qingheng being dragged outside.

Then there was the sound of slapping.

Slap after slap.

Ringing continuously.

Crisp and loud.

Qin Beihuang was heartbroken when he heard this.

Jiang Ningwan felt happy when she heard it. She had never felt that the sound of slapping was so pleasant.

After forging letters from home and deceiving her for years, Lu Qingheng finally got his due.

"Mother, Lu Qingheng has a habit of imitating other people's handwriting. Who knows who else he might imitate in the future to frame someone else."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother pondered for a moment, "It's a hidden danger."

Qin Beihuang was shocked and pale, and quickly said, "Grandmother, Qingheng will never dare to do that again! She definitely won't dare!"

Jiang Ningwan snorted coldly, "If you don't believe me, go ask her if she knows she's wrong."

The Queen Mother signaled to the palace maid with her eyes.

The palace maid hurried out of the room and asked loudly, "Lu Qingheng, the Queen Mother wants to know if you know you are wrong."

Lu Qingheng's stubborn and firm answer came from outside: "I'm not wrong, I don't know where I went wrong!"

Jiang Ningwan spread her hands helplessly.

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

Qin Beihuang wanted to go out and tell Lu Qingheng to stop being so stubborn.

This answer really angered the Queen Mother, "That's enough, Fengchan, stop it."

Outside the door, Lu Qingheng fell to the ground weakly, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.

The cheeks are red and swollen, and there is a pain like a needle prick.

Lu Qingheng's eyes were red and full of resentment.

I thought the punishment was finally over, but unexpectedly, the Queen Mother ordered again: "Take Lu Qingheng to the Ministry of Punishment and discipline him properly."

Two eunuchs stepped forward and grabbed Lu Qingheng and took him away.

Lu Qingheng was in a panic, "Grandmother! Grandmother..."

But her calls were of no use and she was soon dragged out of Shouchun Palace.

Qin Beihuang was also panicked. "Grandmother, Qingheng still holds an official position. He can't be taken to the Ministry of Punishment, right?"

"She still has to go to the battlefield to serve her country. I beg the Empress Dowager to spare her this time!"

The Queen Mother's expression was cold and indifferent. "Since you have brought this matter to my attention, I will certainly deal with it impartially! I will not tolerate it!"

"I will explain this matter to the Emperor myself."

If Lu Qingheng is not severely punished this time, she will not be able to learn a lesson.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, you can all leave."

Jiang Ningwan bowed and took her leave, "I'll come back another day to pay my respects to Mother."

She and Qin Beihuang walked out of Shouchun Palace one after another. Jiang Ningwan wanted to go and see the situation in the Ministry of Punishment, but was stopped by Qin Beihuang halfway.

With a slightly angry look on his face, he asked, "Did you already know that the handwriting was imitated by Qing Heng?"

"You deliberately went to the Queen Mother to make trouble, just to put Qingheng to death, right?"

Jiang Ningwan sneered, "You really are a forgetful person. Didn't you want to confront the Queen Mother?"

"Lu Qingheng's fate is what she deserves."

After saying that, Jiang Ningwan turned and left.

Qin Beihuang froze in place, clenching his fists. It was indeed he who was going to confront the Queen Mother. It was he who had harmed Qing Heng...

At this moment, Lu Qingheng was taken to the Ministry of Punishment.

The dark and dim environment was filled with a strong stench of decay and blood, which was nauseating.

Feng Chan, who was accompanying them, whispered a few words to the eunuch from the Ministry of Punishment.

The eunuch nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of it."

Lu Qingheng struggled with uneasiness in his heart, "I am a general appointed by the emperor, how dare you touch me! Let me go!"

"I want to see the Queen! I want to see the Queen!"

However, the people in the Ministry of Punishment have seen everything. Apart from the emperor, the empress dowager is the most powerful person in the harem, so naturally they have to listen to her.

"Hold her hand!"

Lu Qingheng's arm was pressed tightly against the blood-stained stone bench.

Then the father-in-law picked up the sledgehammer and smashed it hard on Lu Qingheng's wrist.

"what--"

A piercing pain came over me.

A heart-wrenching scream was heard in the Ministry of Punishment.

But the people here are no longer surprised.

Feng Chan couldn't bear to look at the horrific scene any longer, so he turned around and went back to report.

Qin Beihuang also immediately went to see the emperor to plead for mercy and knelt outside the imperial study for a long time.

The emperor then ordered people to release Lu Qingheng.

When Qin Beihuang received Lu Qingheng, she was already dying. Her body was completely unharmed except for her right hand...

……

Not long after Jiang Ningwan left the palace, she heard that the Qin family had hired dozens of imperial physicians.

Lu Lingsong rushed to the Qin family in a panic, and was so angry that he almost fought with Qin Beihuang.

He threatened: "If anything happens to my sister, I will bury your whole family with her!"

Hearing that Imperial Physician Zhang had also been invited, Jiang Ningwan asked Lichun to invite Imperial Physician Zhang over.

"Is Lu Qingheng seriously injured?"

Doctor Zhang nodded and said, "If I stay in the Ministry of Punishment for a while longer, I'm afraid my right hand won't be saved."

"But now he's no different from being crippled. The people in the Ministry of Punishment are best at this kind of punishment. The injuries are to the meridians and bones. It would cost a huge amount of money to heal him."

"Even though I could eat and hold things normally, I couldn't hold a gun or a sword."

For a martial artist, this was undoubtedly a devastating blow.

Now I start practicing sword with my left hand. It is extremely difficult to reach my current level of skill in a short period of time.

The two were chatting when Qin Beihuang's voice suddenly came from outside: "I know Jiang Ningwan is here, I want to see her!"
