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

After saying that, he turned and left.

Jiang Bingde stood there, looking at Jiang Ningwan's departing back. He felt as if a piece of his heart had been dug out, and he felt empty.

He seemed to have really lost his daughter...

After a long silence, he walked out. His back looked lonely and old.

The road out of the palace is particularly long.

He recalled Ning Wan's appearance when she was just born and when she was a child. All those little details became clear and profound at this moment.

……

Prince Chu's Mansion.

Many passers-by gathered outside the gate, pointing and talking.

Jiang Ningwan saw this scene as soon as she came back. She ran over quickly and saw a person lying at the door.

A maid was kneeling beside her, crying.

"Miss, if it weren't for curing the King of Chu's illness, you wouldn't have ended up like this. If the Prince of Chu's Mansion refused to take us in, we would have no choice but to die..."

This movement caused the crowd to talk a lot.

Jiang Ningwan frowned and walked forward quickly.

The person lying on the ground was Zhou Tingxu. Due to his serious injuries, his body was bandaged tightly, with only half of his face exposed. He looked horrible.

She immediately thought of what Zhou Lin said when he left the court.

Zhou Tingxu had to enter the gate of the Prince of Chu's Palace.

So this is the way to get in.

It's really shameless.

The guards at the door were also helpless. When they saw Jiang Ningwan coming, they hurried forward to report.

"Princess, someone from the Zhou family just came and carried Miss Zhou Er down here and left. They said Miss Zhou Er is already a member of the Chu Palace. If the Chu Palace doesn't accept her, they'll leave her to fend for herself."

"The prince is not in the palace now, and we are undecided. What should we do?"

Jiang Ningwan glanced with disdain at Zhou Tingxu, who was pretending to be unconscious on the ground.

"This is the first time I've seen such shameless forced marriage. The Zhou family isn't afraid of being laughed at!"

"Carry it back the same way you came here."

After saying this, Jiang Ningwan walked into the palace.

Just as the guards were about to make a move, a luxurious carriage suddenly appeared on the street, and a majestic voice came: "Who can move if I see it?"

Jiang Ningwan shuddered all over.

Queen!

When they turned around, they saw the queen slowly getting off the carriage. Everyone was startled and knelt down to salute her.

Jiang Ningwan also immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Welcome, Her Majesty the Queen."

The Queen slowly walked up to her and looked down at her, "I thought General Jiang was so young and arrogant that he didn't even take me, the Queen, seriously."

"I dare not!" Jiang Ningwan lowered his head.

"Since you don't dare, why don't you carry Tingxu in quickly? Do you want me to do it myself?" The Queen's tone became colder and contained a strong threat.

Jiang Ningwan gritted her teeth and said, "Ms. Zhou Er is a member of the Zhou family. She should recuperate at the Zhou family."

She would not back down.

If Zhou Tingxu were allowed to enter this door, it would be difficult to send him away.

The Queen's eyes turned cold, "So General Jiang is going to refuse entry to me?"

"I dare not!"

The Queen's voice was icy: "You dare to disrespect me? I don't think there is anything you dare not do!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly kicked Jiang Ningwan on the shoulder.

"Get out of here now!"

Jiang Ningwan fell to the ground, clenched her fists, then knelt down again and said firmly, "Why did the Queen force Zhou Tingxu into the Prince of Chu's Mansion?"

"Don't you think this move is beneath the dignity of the Queen Mother?"

Anger gradually accumulated in the queen's eyes, and she looked at Jiang Ningwan with sharp eyes.

"Don't think you dare challenge me just because the Queen Mother is protecting you. Since I've come to Prince Chu's mansion, I naturally have the Emperor's permission."

"Jiang Ningwan, if you dare to disobey my order, your two cousins ​​will also be implicated. You must consider whether they can bear the consequences."

Jiang Ningwan used to act recklessly and without regard for the consequences, but that was because there was no one for her to worry about, so she was naturally fearless.

But now, the two siblings of the Ling family are back, and this is Jiang Ningwan's biggest weakness.

The sinister threat sent a chill down Jiang Ningwan's spine.

She clenched her palms.

She couldn't let anything happen to Ling Jinlan and Ling Chaowen again.

Since the Queen dared to come, perhaps the Emperor really allowed it. If this is the Emperor's will...

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Ningwan gritted his teeth, stood up, and stepped aside.

Seeing this, the queen raised the corner of her lips coldly, "You are quite sensible."

"Carry Zhou Tingxu in."

Then the guards lifted Zhou Tingxu and brought him into the Prince of Chu's mansion.

In the corner of the yard, Ling Jinlan watched everything quietly, clenching his fists.

Zhou Tingxu was placed in a courtyard close to Qin Shuangchi's courtyard, and the queen personally watched over him throughout the whole process.

The queen sat by the bed, holding Zhou Tingxu's hand and saying a few words, "Tingxu, rest assured and recuperate here. Your aunt will take care of everything."

Zhou Tingxu said weakly, "Thank you, aunt."

Then the queen slowly stood up and called out, "Jiang Ningwan."

Jiang Ningwan's face darkened as she walked in and bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty the Queen."

"Tingxu and Qingyun will live here from now on. You should take good care of them. It would be best if you could arrange for a maid to look after them."

After saying this, the Queen glanced at Lichun outside the door, pointed at her and said, "That maid looks smart, let's choose her."

Jiang Ningwan's face changed. If she kept Lichun here, wouldn't she be bullied by Zhou Tingxu?

Haven't spoken yet.

Suddenly, a goose yellow figure rushed in and knelt in front of the queen.

"Empress, Miss Zhou Er was injured because of me. I didn't pick any lotus roots, so Miss Zhou Er went into the water to pick them herself."

"I'm willing to take care of Miss Tuesday to atone for her sins!"

Jiang Ningwan was shocked when she saw this, "Jinlan! You have nothing to do here!"

When the Queen heard this, her eyes turned cold and she said, "Lift your head and let me see."

Ling Jinlan was trembling with fear. He raised his head cautiously, but did not dare to look directly at the queen.

The Queen looked her up and down with a sharp gaze. "You are General Ling's granddaughter, Ling Jinlan. You are quite pretty, and you don't look like a military commander's daughter with a murderous aura."

She is gentle and seems easier to control than Jiang Ningwan.

"Since you have shown remorse, I will not punish you. From now on, you will stay by Tingxu's side and take care of her."

"If she makes any mistake, I will hold you and your cousin responsible."

As she spoke, the Queen gave Jiang Ningwan a meaningful look.

Ling Jinlan nodded obediently, "I will follow the Queen's instructions."

The queen walked away with satisfaction, and when she passed by Jiang Ningwan, she gave her a warning look.

"I will leave Tingxu to you now. If anything happens to her again, I will not forgive you."

Jiang Ningwan held her breath and clenched her fists tightly, "Farewell, Her Majesty!"

After seeing the queen off, Jiang Ningwan pulled Ling Jinlan out of the room, feeling a little angry.

"What are you doing here? You still have to serve Zhou Tingxu. Will she let you go so easily?"

After being scolded loudly by her, Ling Jinlan lowered her head and choked up, "It's because of me that my sister was embarrassed by the Queen."

"Lichun has been with my sister for so long, I don't want to embarrass her."

Seeing that she was a little too sensible, Jiang Ningwan felt distressed, "Even if the sky falls, I'm still here. How could I let you suffer such grievances?"

"Go back to your room now and don't worry about Zhou Tingxu's affairs!"

But at this moment, Qingyun came out of the room and called out, "Ling Jinlan, the young lady is thirsty. Go make a pot of tea! Hurry!"
