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

Jiang Ningwan's heart sank. She had waited from morning to afternoon, but it was all in vain.

"When will the emperor be in a better mood? I can wait a little longer."

Eunuch Hai made a gesture of invitation and led her to a quiet place. He lowered his voice and said, "Princess, I want to remind you that the Emperor is in a bad mood. It's useless to wait any longer."

"When the Emperor is in a better mood someday, there will be hope for what you are asking for."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ningwan frowned.

"When will the emperor be in a good mood?"

Eunuch Hai also shook his head with a sad face. "The south has been hit by floods recently, and the Emperor has been unable to eat or sleep because of this. I'm afraid his mood will not improve until this matter is resolved."

Jiang Ningwan's heart sank. Wouldn't this mean we would have to wait a long time? The flood disaster would take several months to resolve.

"Then I'll try my luck again another day. Thank you, Eunuch Hai, for the reminder."

Eunuch Hai smiled and said, "You are welcome, Princess."

It was already afternoon when she left the palace. Thinking back to the flood disaster at this time in her previous life, she had no deep impression and her memory was vague.

I only vaguely remember that it was later discovered that a large amount of flood relief funds had been embezzled, resulting in widespread famine and hundreds of villagers becoming bandits, robbing homes.

Who is the corrupt official?

It's been too long and I can't remember it for the moment.

But she suddenly realized that if the corrupt official could be caught when he first committed corruption, the consequences would not be so severe.

If we can save the lives of thousands of people, it would be a good thing and we can do good deeds for our relatives in the underworld.

After returning, Jiang Ningwan thought about it and realized that her identity was not suitable for catching corrupt officials.

There is someone I have to meet.

But it’s not a good idea to go there rashly. The birthday party for Marquis Wu Bo’s daughter next month should be an opportunity.

Before she knew it, it was night. Jiang Ningwan was writing prescriptions at her desk and practicing calligraphy at the same time.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard in the yard. Li Chun went forward to check. Seeing Qin Beihuang's furious look, she hurried forward to stop him, "General, the young lady has already rested, General!"

But she couldn't stop it.

"Get out of the way!" Qin Beihuang exerted great force and directly pushed Li Chun away.

Lichun broke open the door and fell to the ground.

Jiang Ningwan's face changed when she saw this, and she quickly stepped forward to help Li Chun up. "Are you hurt?"

Li Chun shook her head and looked at Qin Beihuang, who was full of anger at the door. Her red eyes were full of fear, and she tried to stand up and block Jiang Ningwan.

But Jiang Ningwan held her back.

He looked up at Qin Beihuang with a cold look in his eyes, "General, why are you showing off in front of me again?"

Suddenly, Qin Beihuang pulled out a white handkerchief from his arms and slammed it heavily on Jiang Ningwan's face, angrily scolding her in a low voice: "What a good thing you did!"

The white brocade handkerchief fluttered lightly on Jiang Ningwan's face, but it hurt more than a slap in the face.

As the handkerchief slid to the ground, Jiang Ningwan's tightly closed eyes slowly opened, revealing a murderous look.

He stood up and slapped him back hard.

The crisp and loud sound of slapping spread throughout the Zhenyue Pavilion.

A dead silence.

Qin Beihuang looked at her in shock, unable to believe that Jiang Ningwan would actually hit him.

Jiang Ningwan's palms felt numb, and her sharp eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"roll!"

Qin Beihuang wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and sneered, "Jiang Ningwan, you don't think that if you imitate Qingheng's temper, I will like you, right? You are just imitating others."

"Your methods only make me sick!"

Jiang Ningwan's heart was boiling with anger, and he sneered, "General, what scheme do you have to force me to hand over my dowry?"

Seeing her stubbornness, Qin Beihuang said with disgust, "Are you still pretending?"

"Did you enter the palace today?"

"Yes." Jiang Ningwan did not hide it.

Qin Beihuang snorted coldly, "Do you admit it?"

"You keep saying you don't want to consummate our marriage, yet you go and complain to the Queen Mother, asking her to force me to consummate our marriage. Yet you try to distance yourself from this, acting like a hypocrite."

Jiang Ningwan felt disgusted by the contemptuous and disgusted tone.

"I didn't go to see the Queen Mother. If you ask around, you'll know I went to see the Emperor."

Qin Beihuang sneered: "You are just pretending. Who knows if your request to see the emperor is to consummate your marriage? It's just that the Queen Mother came to see me."

"Since you want a child, I will grant your wish!"

"But from now on, I will never touch you again!"

As he spoke, Qin Beihuang grabbed Jiang Ningwan's arm, pushed Li Chun out, and locked the door.

"General! Don't mess around, General!" Li Chun was anxious and knocked on the door and shouted.

Jiang Ningwan broke free from his hand, took two steps back, and looked at him warily, "Qin Beihuang, what do you want to do!"

"What do you think?" Qin Beihuang's eyes were full of anger.

Angrily, he pushed Jiang Ningwan down onto the couch. Facing her struggle, he angrily said, "I don't have time to play hard to get with you. I need to finish the job so I can report back!"

Jiang Ningwan's wrist turned red from being grabbed. In anger, she reached for the needle bag next to her and inserted a silver needle into the acupuncture points on Qin Beihuang's waist and abdomen.

After two injections, Qin Beihuang felt numb all over.

"What are you doing!" Qin Beihuang was furious, his eyes red.

"Get out of my room! Otherwise I will make sure you have no descendants in this life!" Jiang Ningwan threatened with a silver needle in her hand.

After saying that, Jiang Ningwan used all her strength to kick Qin Beihuang away and quickly stood up to distance herself from him.

She said with disgust, "Even if I, Jiang Ningwan, am childless and alone for the rest of my life, I will never bear your child, Qin Beihuang!"

Qin Beihuang was so angry that his chest was suffocating. "You'd better practice what you preach!"

After opening the door, Qin Beihuang left angrily.

Li Chun rushed in with tears on her face, "Miss, it's all my fault. I can't protect you."

Jiang Ningwan patted her shoulder and said, "I don't blame you."

"I'm fine, don't cry."

Li Chun stopped crying and asked, "Miss, when can we leave the General's Mansion?"

Jiang Ningwan felt a little heavy-hearted and could only go to the palace again tomorrow to try her luck.

I hope the emperor will meet her.

This happened twice in a row. Li Chun didn't dare go back to her room to rest at night and stayed in Jiang Ningwan's room all night long.

Now that the Queen Mother is putting pressure on Qin Beihuang, something like this might happen again tonight.

After dawn, Jiang Ningwan went to the palace again to ask to see the emperor, but after waiting for a long time, the emperor still did not show up.

It is said that he would not see anyone except the officials of the court.

Before leaving, he happened to meet the great general who protects the country - Lu Lingsong.

Lu Qingheng's second brother.

In this southern expedition of the Lu family, the old general and the eldest son of the Lu family both died on the battlefield and sacrificed their lives for the country. The emperor posthumously conferred the title of Marquis of Pingnan on the old general, and the second son Lu Lingsong was conferred the title of General Protector of the Country.

The Lu family's power is unmatched in Kyoto.

"Isn't this Miss Jiang from my brother-in-law's family?" Lu Lingsong looked at her with contempt.

"General Lu." Jiang Ningwan nodded politely.

"I heard that the General's Mansion has been in turmoil recently. I'm afraid Miss Jiang's mistress is to blame!"

This accusatory tone made Jiang Ningwan feel unhappy.

She raised her eyes and looked directly at Lu Lingsong. "General Lu is indeed conscientious and responsible. He is involved in everything from national security to trivial matters in the harem."

"I cannot escape the blame. So, how does General Lu plan to deal with me?"

Lu Lingsong's eyes turned cold, "Miss Jiang's words are indeed sharp."

He took two steps closer and warned in a low voice, "My sister has already suffered enough by entering the mansion as a co-wife. If you dare to make things difficult for her again, be careful that the Duke's Mansion will follow in the footsteps of the Ling family! By then, let alone becoming a mistress, you might not even be able to become a concubine!"

Threaten her with the Duke's Mansion?

Jiang Ningwan smiled coldly, "General Lu, just take care of yourself. The moon waxes and wanes."

After she finished speaking, she walked away with a hint of coldness in her eyes.

The Lu family’s glory will not last long.
