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

Compared to the rewards Jiang Ningwan received, this jade hairpin was not that precious.

She actually kept it and didn't throw it away, and even gave it to Ling Jinlan.

She keeps saying she hates him, yet she still keeps the things he gave her.

Women really do say one thing and mean another.

Thinking of this, Qin Beihuang put the jade hairpin into his arms.

At the entrance of an alley not far away, Ling Jinlan witnessed Qin Beihuang taking away the jade hairpin. A hint of success flashed across his eyes before he walked away.

Holding the jade hairpin, Qin Beihuang still wanted to find an opportunity to meet Jiang Ningwan.

However, Jiang Ningwan was hurt by the severance of their relationship, so she rode out of the city every day with Pei Xunzhi and Jiang Zhouye to compete in martial arts at the military camp.

Not in Kyoto most of the time.

Jiang Ningwan was upset, and the biggest victim... was Zhou Jingxuan.

In the military training ground, Zhou Jingxuan was thrown over his shoulder to the ground again. He felt a heavy blow to his chest and even breathing was painful.

"Come again!" Jiang Ningwan clenched his fists and shouted.

Zhou Jingxuan cried out in pain, lying on the ground, unable to get up. "General Jiang, please find someone else. I really... cough cough cough cough, I can't get up..."

Jiang Ningwan glanced at him with disdain and stopped, "Waste."

"After all, he is the deputy general of Lingwei Army. Who can he defeat?"

Zhou Jingxuan can't even beat Chen Yuzhu now, let alone the two sisters Xiao Fuxue and Xiao Lidong.

The only redeeming feature is probably that it is quite durable.

He serves as a punching bag for Chen Yuzhu and Xiao Fuxue every day, but he is not disabled yet.

Zhou Jingxuan lay on the ground looking at the sky, tears unconsciously streaming down his eyes.

When will days like this end?

As a deputy general, not only was he beaten every day, but he also had to endure countless humiliations. If the Queen and the Crown Prince hadn't stopped him from leaving, he would have quit long ago.

When the prince ascends the throne, he will definitely avenge today's grudge and make Jiang Ningwan work like a slave for him!

She wants to be neither able to live nor to die!

Thinking of this, he stood up with anger, clenched his fists, and rushed towards Jiang Ningwan with a loud shout.

Jiang Ningwan turned around and kicked him.

Zhou Jingxuan was knocked away again and fell heavily to the ground.

After a disappointed look, Jiang Ningwan walked away, "Practice more, you can't take a beating."

Pei Xunzhi quickly came over and handed her a kettle, "Sister Wan, take a break."

"Jiang Zhouye said he got some good stuff, let's go take a look."

The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked out of the military camp. There was a stream not far from the camp, and Jiang Zhouye could be seen busy at work from a distance.

When I got closer, I saw a big fish roasting on the fire. It looked like it weighed more than 20 kilograms.

There are still several fish struggling in the fish basket.

"You caught such a big fish in the stream?"

Jiang Zhouye said proudly: "I caught it!"

"You've never seen one this big! You're in for a treat today!"

The three of them sat by the stream and grilled fish.

As the sun sets in the west, the sky is filled with rosy clouds, reflecting a golden red on the water.

No matter how many worries you have, they will disappear at this moment.

……

into the night.

General's Mansion.

Qin Beihuang sat in the study, but his mind was not on the book in his hands. His eyes were always on the jade hairpin on the table.

The moonlight poured in through the window and landed on the jade hairpin, emitting a warm luster.

A moment of trance.

I didn't notice anyone entering the room.

Lu Qingheng, dressed in a thin shirt, walked slowly towards her with ginseng soup in her hand. Her long black hair, scattered on her shoulders, fell down slowly as she moved.

"Beihuang, I made some ginseng soup. You've been tired lately, so it can replenish your body."

Qin Beihuang was startled when the gentle voice sounded.

Only then did he come back to his senses.

I looked up and saw Lu Qingheng in a thin shirt, gentle and simple, different from his usual attire.

"You're a little different today."

Lu Qingheng lowered his head, smiled shyly, and handed him the ginseng soup, "Drink it quickly."

Her right hand was still weak and she was shaking a little as she held the ginseng soup.

Qin Beihuang held her hand distressedly and said, "Your hand hasn't healed yet, so don't do these things."

A hint of resentment flashed in Lu Qingheng's eyes. If she didn't do it, who else would?

Ever since her right hand was disabled, Princess Yi used this as leverage to force Qin Beihuang to divorce her. Qin Beihuang's sarcastic remarks were extremely harsh.

They all wanted to kick her out of the house.

But her hand is broken. Who did it?

The imperial physician said that even if she could recover, she might not be able to hold a sword or a gun again. Her martial arts skills would be wasted, and she would have to find another way out.

When Qin Beihuang was drinking ginseng soup, Lu Qingheng suddenly caught a glimpse of the warm jade hairpin on the table.

He asked in surprise, "Where did this jade hairpin come from?"

Qin Beihuang was startled and suddenly became a little nervous.

But Lu Qingheng had already picked up the jade hairpin and started playing with it, so he had no time to hide.

"Is this for me?" Lu Qingheng couldn't hide his joy.

"Yes." Qin Beihuang concealed the panic in his eyes, pretended to be calm, took the jade hairpin and put it on Lu Qingheng.

"Does it look good?" Lu Qingheng looked at him expectantly.

Qin Beihuang nodded, "It's especially suitable for you tonight."

In a trance, he saw Jiang Ningwan's former appearance, gentle and generous.

Being stared at by those affectionate eyes, Lu Qingheng's cheeks turned red.

An ambiguous atmosphere filled the air. Qin Beihuang lowered his head and kissed her. He closed his eyes, but Jiang Ningwan's figure remained in his mind, her every frown, smile, and gesture.

The emotions that had been suppressed deep in his heart for so long could no longer be controlled at this moment. Qin Beihuang's breathing was disordered and rapid, and the fire of love burned, quickly engulfing the two of them.

Crazy and lingering.

Lu Qingheng was extremely shocked and felt that Qin Beihuang seemed like a different person.

They have been together for so long, but they have never seen Qin Beihuang so out of control and crazy.

She likes it so much.

……

Jiang Ningwan didn't stay in Kyoto for most of the month, but she would return to Prince Chu's Mansion every night to take Qin Shuangchi's pulse and prepare medicine.

Until that evening, Qin Shuangchi was not in the mansion.

Xiao Lan was not in the mansion either.

When asked about Li Chun, Li Chun also didn't know where the King of Chu had gone.

Jiang Ningwan's eyes lit up and she looked towards Qin Shuangchi's study.

"Xiao Lan is not in the mansion either, right? Please keep watch for me while I go to the study."

Lichun nodded.

The master and servant sneaked into the King of Chu's courtyard. Jiang Ningwan pushed open the door of the study and walked in cautiously.

Finally found an opportunity to come in.

Lichun stood guard at the door.

In the study, Jiang Ningwan didn't dare to light the lamp, so she could only take out a tinder and search one by one.

I looked around but didn't find anything useful.

Instead, he found a medicine bottle in a secret compartment. Jiang Ningwan poured out a pill and smelled it. Unsure what medicine it was, he took one and put the rest back in their original places.

After groping around on the bookshelf in the study, Jiang Ningwan discovered that there was a secret door behind it, but the bookshelf could not be pushed open and required a mechanism to open it.

She tried moving the objects on the antique display cabinet.

Finally, I touched the silver Pixiu carving, but couldn't pick it up. This must be the mechanism!

She turned slowly.

click-

The mechanism slowly made a sound, and the secret door of the bookshelf slowly opened.

It was pitch black inside the secret door.

Jiang Ningwan was just about to go in to find out what was going on.

Suddenly, Lichun coughed outside the door.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, the prince is back!"

Xiao Lan pushed the King of Chu into the courtyard. Li Chun hurried forward and said, "Dinner is ready. Your Highness, would you like to eat?"

"No need."

Qin Shuangchi went straight to the study.

Lichun couldn't stop her at all, and she twisted her sleeves tightly in anxiety. The young lady hadn't come out yet!
