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

Jiang Ningwan was stunned.

Then he slapped him hard on the hand.

"With you being like this, I won't give you the Duke's seal!"

He caused her to lose fifteen dragon zhi, which was no small amount of money, and when he came back he dared to ask her for the seal of nobility.

"It hurts!" Ling Chaowen frowned and rubbed his palms.

Jiang Ningwan was so disappointed with him that she looked at him helplessly.

I'll settle his score when I get back, but at least he returned safely.

"Where's Jinlan? Why isn't she with you? Was she arrested?"

Ling Chaowen wrung the water out of his clothes while answering, "I don't know. She wanted to leave me on her own."

"I didn't expect that I would arrive in Kyoto City first."

Seeing Ling Chaowen's heartless look, Jiang Ningwan sighed helplessly, because she didn't know how to tell him that his mistress had harmed the Ling family.

Let’s talk about it after we find Ling Jinlan.

At this moment, Qin Shuangchi came slowly in a wheelchair.

"There aren't many killers left. We've eliminated them all. We can return to Beijing now."

Jiang Ningwan nodded.

Then the group set off back to Beijing.

Sitting in the carriage, Jiang Ningwan looked at Ling Chaowen, "Was it Lu Lingsong who arrested you?"

Ling Chaowen nodded, "Yeah, but he didn't do anything to me. He treated me well and kept me entertained."

Jiang Ningwan's eyes turned cold, "He has other intentions."

"You've all been through life and death, so be more careful."

The carriage was heading slowly towards Kyoto City, when suddenly a figure stumbled out from the weeds ahead.

"Help... help..."

This sound!

Ling Chaowen and Jiang Ningwan immediately stuck their heads out and saw that familiar figure, Ling Jinlan!

The procession stopped immediately.

Everyone got off the carriage.

"Jinlan!" Jiang Ningwan was extremely excited.

When Ling Jinlan saw them, he felt like he had found a life-saving straw and ran towards them quickly, "Brother, cousin!"

But suddenly he tripped over a stone on the ground and twisted his ankle.

As luck would have it, she fell into Qin Shuangchi's arms.

Qin Shuangchi was quick to catch her arm and prevent her from falling on him.

Ling Jinlan raised his eyes and stared at the person in front of him in a daze.

Jiang Ningwan hurried over, but her eyes fell on Ling Jinlan's arm, "You're hurt!"

"What happened? Who's chasing you?"

She hurriedly took out a handkerchief to bandage Ling Jinlan, and did not notice that Ling Jinlan's eyes were always on Qin Shuangchi.

"I don't know... There are always a lot of weird people along the way." Ling Jinlan lowered his eyes, his face pale.

Jiang Ningwan held her hand lovingly, "Just be sure you come back safely."

"Walk."

She held Ling Jinlan's hand tightly and took her back to the carriage.

Qin Shuangchi glanced at Ling Jinlan with a deep gaze, and then ordered Xiao Lan, "Go and find out who is chasing her."

"Yes."

……

In the carriage.

Jiang Ningwan took Ling Jinlan's pulse. Fortunately, he only had superficial injuries and was not seriously injured. He was just a little tired and weak from the long journey.

Ling Jinlan had not yet recovered from his escape. His face was pale, his eyes were full of fear, and his head was shrunken.

Jiang Ningwan hugged her lovingly, "Don't be afraid, we're safe now."

"You have suffered in the North. From now on, I am here and I will take good care of you."

Jiang Ningwan felt unbearable grief when she thought that her grandfather, mother, uncle and aunt were all gone, leaving only the two of them.

Ling Jinlan's eyes were complicated as she leaned into Jiang Ningwan's arms, "Sister, we don't have to go back to the North anymore, right?"

"Yes, I won't go there again. The Ling family has overturned the verdict and you are no longer criminals."

"The Emperor has bestowed upon me the Duke of Ling's Mansion. I will be living there from now on."

Hearing this, Ling Jinlan was not happy at all, "But, my home is gone..."

Jiang Ningwan's eyes flashed with a trace of heartache. He patted her shoulder and comforted her, "I'm still here, and we still have my eldest cousin. This family is not broken up!"

Ling Jinlan remained silent, tears in her eyes.

Before reaching Kyoto City, a team appeared in front of us.

The leader was Qin Wenli.

"I heard Chao Wen is back! Is he in the carriage?"

Jiang Ningwan lifted the curtain, "Second cousin and Jinlan are here."

Seeing the two of them, Qin Wenli was filled with joy, "Great, you're finally back!"

"Return to Beijing immediately!"

The already large team became even more powerful with the addition of Qin Wenli, and naturally no one dared to attack on the way back.

They entered the city in a grand procession and returned to Duke Ling's Mansion.

Qin Wenli couldn't hide his excitement and said, "I have prepared wine and food in Dengque Tower. You can take a shower, change clothes and rest for a while."

"I'm just hungry." Ling Chaowen touched his rumbling stomach.

Led by the maid, I went to take a bath and change clothes.

Ling Jinlan held Jiang Ningwan's arm all the way, looking around the unfamiliar mansion, with uneasiness written all over his face.

Seeing that she was scared, Jiang Ningwan took her hand and said, "I'll take you to take a shower and change clothes."

"I made the clothes according to your previous size. I don't know if it fits you now. Please try it on first. If it doesn't fit, I'll ask a tailor to come and make alterations."

Ling Jinlan nodded.

Jiang Ningwan walked her into the room and stood by the bathtub behind the screen. "The hot water is ready. I know you don't like maids serving you, so I didn't arrange it."

"I'll wait for you outside."

Ling Jinlan reluctantly let her go.

After Jiang Ningwan left the room, she undressed and took a bath. After soaking for a while, she called out anxiously, "Sister, are you still there?"

"I'm here." Jiang Ningwan responded quickly.

I guess he has never had a peaceful life and has been living in tension every day, which is why he is so scared.

It makes people sad to think about this, she is only sixteen years old this year.

"Jinlan, come back after dinner and I'll go shopping with you to buy something you like. The Duke's Mansion is very big, you can pick a house you like."

Jiang Ningwan kept talking outside the door so that Ling Jinlan could hear her voice and feel at ease.

But Ling Jinlan quickly opened the door and came out with wet hair.

"Sister, I don't like it here."

"This place is so big, so empty, and so quiet. I always feel like someone is watching me from the dark."

"I can always vaguely hear voices, and I'm scared."

Jiang Ningwan felt a little worried and quickly comforted her, "It's okay. If you don't like it here, you can always go back to the old Ling family. Although it's called the Jiang residence now, it's still our home. Nothing has changed inside."

"That's where you're familiar."

As she spoke, she pushed Ling Jinlan into the room, dried her hair with a handkerchief, and combed her hair.

But Ling Jinlan still twisted his sleeves nervously, "I don't want to go back to the old Ling family either."

"After my parents left, I dreamed about them every night. They were all nightmares."

"Back to the Ling family, I..."

As she spoke, she bit her lower lip, turned her head and looked at her with tears in her eyes, "Sister, I don't want to cause you any trouble. I'm not looking for trouble."

"I'm really scared..."

Jiang Ningwan was extremely worried and quickly hugged her into her arms, "Sister knows."

"If you want, you can live with your sister first, okay?"

Ling Jinlan hugged her tightly and nodded in her arms.

It seems that this is the only way to find a sense of security.

There was an imperceptible coldness in her eyes.
