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

In the pavilion.

Qin Beihuang spoke slowly: "Ling Chaowen is in my hands. You should be familiar with his jade pendant."

"I won't hurt him, but if you want to see him, you have to exchange Long Zhi for him."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's eyes turned cold and he clenched his fists and dropped them on the table. "Despicable and shameless!"

Qin Beihuang frowned, knowing that his behavior was not upright, and tried to find a reasonable reason for his behavior.

"Qingheng's hand was injured because of you, you should be responsible."

"I've asked the imperial physician, and he says that curing Qingheng's hand will require twenty branches of Longzhi. I won't make it difficult for you. Just give me fifteen, and we can find the rest ourselves."

Hearing this tone, it seemed like he was being particularly gracious.

Jiang Ningwan was filled with anger. She stood up, grabbed the teacup and threw it at Qin Beihuang.

In anger.

The tea splashed all over Qin Beihuang's face.

"I also want to thank you for only blackmailing me for fifteen dragon zhi!"

Qin Beihuang froze suddenly, feeling the tea dripping down and feeling his dignity insulted.

He clenched his palms tightly, wiped the tea off his face, and stood up angrily, "Don't say such harsh words. If you hadn't complained to the Queen Mother, why would the Queen Mother send Qingheng to the Ministry of Punishment to have his right hand destroyed?"

"It's wrong for Qingheng to imitate your handwriting, but it's not a crime that deserves this!"

"Is reputation important to you? You don't care at all. But the right hand that Qingheng destroyed is her life!"

"I need fifteen of your dragon zhi now, don't be shameless!"

Jiang Ningwan was filled with anger and raised her hand to slap him fiercely.

Snapped--

The loud slapping sound almost reached the carriage on the side of the road.

"I've never seen anyone as shameless as you!"

"You are a great general, yet you actually arrested someone and threatened me to give it to Long Zhi, and you are so righteous, as if I deserved it and you are showing me extra mercy."

"Qin Beihuang, deep down in your heart, you should know how shameless you are, right? That's why you find so many excuses to justify yourself."

"You are a complete villain!"

"If you were more honest, even if you offered me Ling Chaowen in exchange for Long Zhi, I would still look upon you with respect. But you want to do bad things while still trying to protect your pitiful face and dignity. You are so hypocritical."

Jiang Ningwan was so furious that she unceremoniously tore off Qin Beihuang's disguise.

Qin Beihuang was embarrassed and angry, and the burning ears made him feel even more humiliated.

"Yes, I'm using Ling Chaowen to threaten you. Fifteen sticks of Longzhi in exchange for Ling Chaowen."

"I'll give you seven days. If you fail to hand over Long Zhi, I can't guarantee Ling Chaowen's life or death."

"Trade here in seven days."

After saying that, Qin Beihuang turned away.

Zhou Tingxu froze in the carriage not far away. The faint sounds coming from the other side clearly showed a quarrel.

It doesn't look like a private meeting at all.

Qin Shuangchi was calm and composed. His keen hearing had already heard everything clearly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Even though he was watching Ling Chaowen so carefully, he was still caught by the Lu family.

"This... General Jiang and Qin Beihuang, when they quarrel, they really look like a couple who are not getting along." Zhou Tingxu did not give up and continued to throw dirty water.

Xiao Lan sat outside the carriage, his arms folded nonchalantly across his chest, "It's obviously a deep hatred."

"That slap was like thunder, resounding through the heavens and earth. If Miss Zhou Er had been hit by that slap, she might have been thrown into the lake."

Zhou Tingxu clutched his sleeve fiercely, his face turning pale, "Really..."

Not long after Qin Beihuang left, Jiang Ningwan also left the lakeside pavilion.

When I walked out, I noticed the carriage of the Prince of Chu's palace parked on the side of the road not far away.

"Xiao Lan, why are you here?"

Before Xiao Lan could answer, Zhou Tingxu suddenly lifted the curtain and smiled, "The prince and I came out to enjoy the scenery."

"I didn't expect General Jiang to be here too. What a coincidence."

Seeing Zhou Tingxu's face, Jiang Ningwan, who was already upset, became even more upset.

"Then you guys can enjoy it. I have something else to do so I'll go back first."

Jiang Ningwan jumped on his horse and rode away immediately.

Seeing Jiang Ningwan riding away, Zhou Tingxu turned around and looked at the King of Chu, "Your Highness, the scenery of Shili Lake is so beautiful, why don't we go down and take a walk?"

Qin Shuangchi's expression was indifferent, and his voice was slightly cold: "If you like, go for a walk."

Hearing this, Zhou Tingxu thought that the King of Chu had agreed.

He nodded quickly and got off the carriage.

Standing by the roadside waiting for Xiao Lan to push the prince down, Xiao Lan returned to the carriage and sat down. "The prince hates taking walks. Miss Zhou Er, please enjoy the scenery slowly by yourself."

After saying this, he drove away quickly in his carriage.

Zhou Tingxu was horrified as the carriage left. He took two steps after it and said, "I...I said something wrong, Your Highness..."

"My Lord, please don't leave me here alone!"

But the carriage showed no sign of stopping. Instead, it kept running faster and faster, and refused to stop no matter how she shouted.

Zhou Tingxu was so angry that he kicked a stone on the roadside hard, but it hurt his toes.

The King of Chu's temperament was truly unpredictable. She often felt that he was easy to talk to, never angry, and never refused her permission to approach him for pulse diagnosis.

But sometimes she felt rejected.

……

Jiang Ningwan rushed to Huichuntang in a panic and started searching in the warehouse.

Doctor Hong followed with confusion, "Miss, what are you looking for?"

"Longzhi."

"Ling Chaowen fell into the hands of Qin Beihuang and his men. I guess he's in Lu Lingsong's hands. He's threatening me to exchange him for fifteen Dragon Zhi."

Hearing this, Doctor Hong was shocked, "What!"

"I have Longzhi, but I don't have fifteen of them."

Jiang Ningwan had already dug out three from the cabinet and said helplessly, "If there's nothing, we'll have to find a way to get some. We only have seven days."

"We must rescue Ling Chaowen first, no matter what."

She could put everything else aside for now, but the Ling family only had these two siblings, and she had to save their lives at all costs.

Doctor Hong also knew that this matter was of vital importance. "I'll gather the people from the trading company to find a solution. Other clinics may have dragon radish, so I hope we can get some."

Jiang Ningwan nodded.

Walking out of the warehouse, he saw Qin Shuangchi in the courtyard and was slightly startled. "Why is the prince here?"

Qin Shuangchi said solemnly, "I heard everything you said to Qin Beihuang."

"Is there anything you need help with?"

It was his negligence that allowed Ling Chaowen to fall into the hands of the Lu family this time.

Jiang Ningwan thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, do you know where Ling Jinlan is? Can you send more people to escort her back safely?"

What she is most worried about now is that Ling Jinlan will also fall into the hands of the Lu family.

There is currently no clue about her manpower, so it all depends on whether Qin Shuangchi's manpower can find Ling Jinlan.

Qin Shuangchi nodded slightly, "Of course."

"Make sure she returns to Beijing safely."

Jiang Ningwan nodded, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"I can handle the rest myself. If necessary, I will speak to the prince."

……

A villa in the mountains outside the city.

The entire courtyard was surrounded by dense guards. There was a guard every ten steps in the courtyard. It was so airtight that it was impossible to escape.

Although the yard was heavily guarded, Ling Chaowen sat leisurely in the pavilion in the yard and enjoyed a feast.

"It's been a while since I've eaten food from Kyoto. It's so delicious..."
