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

As soon as these words came out, Duke Jiang's expression suddenly changed. He looked at her in shock, "What did you say? Did Lu Lingsong threaten you?"

"Yes, just outside the imperial study, cough cough cough..." Jiang Ningwan coughed weakly a few times.

Duke Jiang's expression was extremely grim. "Although the Lu family has made great contributions, they can't bully others like this!"

Jiang Ningwan glanced at him from the corner of her eye. "Lu Lingsong is the great general who protects the country. Dad, you'd better not go against him. Just admit defeat. Anyway, you don't have the courage to be an enemy of the Lu family."

Hearing this, Duke Jiang's face was filled with anger. "I am a Duke after all, how can I allow others to ride on my head!"

"I must get an explanation for this matter!" After saying this, Duke Jiang left angrily.

Jiang Ningwan raised a triumphant smile on his lips.

On that day, Duke Jiang reported Lu Lingsong.

The emperor was somewhat surprised by the contents of the memorial. "Lu Lingsong threatened Jiang Ningwan and forced her to take the Ningjin Formula, thus ending her childbearing?"

"When did this happen? Outside the Imperial Study? Hai Dehong, how come I don't know?"

Eunuch Hai stepped forward quickly and said, "Your Majesty has forgotten that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family came to see you twice, but you didn't see her. One time, she met General Lu outside the imperial study."

Hearing this, the Emperor couldn't help but frown, "Did you see Lu Lingsong threatening Jiang Ningwan?"

Eunuch Hai recalled and said, "General Lu was indeed very imposing at the time, and he forced the eldest lady of the Jiang family to retreat several steps. As for what he said, I was far away and didn't hear it clearly."

"I just heard General Lu mention his sister, saying she was wronged. He also mentioned the Duke's Mansion and said it was following in the footsteps of the Ling family..."

"After Miss Jiang left, she went to the Imperial Hospital to get a prescription for Ningjin. It is said that Miss Jiang cried at that time."

After hearing this, the emperor looked furious. If these were consistent with the contents of the memorial, then Lu Lingsong was threatening Jiang Ningwan.

He threw the memorial heavily on the table, "This is ridiculous! A great general is meddling in the affairs of the inner chambers to help his sister win favor!"

"Call Lu Lingsong!"

Not long after, Lu Lingsong came to the imperial study in a majestic manner, but was scolded harshly in the imperial study.

"How can you be a great general? You're actually arguing with a woman from the inner chambers and even threatening her. General Lu is truly so majestic!"

Lu Lingsong knelt nervously on the ground and explained unwillingly, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I didn't threaten her to take the Gold Condensing Formula."

"You still dare to quibble? You'll be fined half a year's salary! And you have to apologize to Duke Jiang yourself!"

Lu Lingsong gritted his teeth and said, "I obey your command!"

After leaving the imperial study, Lu Lingsong was filled with anger. He was actually tricked by a little woman!

No wonder Qingheng complained so much, Jiang Ningwan is really not an easy person to deal with!

When he was about to leave the palace, he was stopped by the aunt from the Empress Dowager's palace. "General Lu, the Empress Dowager wants you to come over."

When he arrived at Shouchun Palace, he was scolded by the empress dowager as expected.

Lu Lingsong was scolded in the palace for a whole day.

There is no denying it.

Not only was his salary fined, but he also had to go to the Duke's Mansion to apologize.

The news spread that day and was also reported back to the general's mansion.

Lu Qingheng felt very uneasy when he learned about it. Although the Lu family had made great achievements, its foundation was unstable. If something like this happened at this time, their future would be difficult.

In Zhenyue Pavilion, Lichun also brought back news.

"Miss, you planned to drink that bowl of gold-condensing formula long ago, right? This can finally dampen the Lu family's arrogance."

"Forcing a woman to take a drug that would kill her off, just to make way for his sister, and let's see how he can live his life if this gets out."

Jiang Ningwan smiled and asked, "Did they go to the Duke's Mansion?"

"Not yet, but the person from Mo Yun Pavilion has already gone to the Lu family, probably to discuss countermeasures."

"Your Majesty, you can't forgive them so easily this time, right?"

Jiang Ningwan picked up the medical book and said calmly, "My goal has been achieved. It doesn't matter whether my father forgives me or not."

She didn't expect her father to be so tough and fight the Lu family to the end.

The Lu family is now in its heyday. Lu Lingsong is the youngest national defense general in the history of Daning Kingdom. It is inevitable that he is arrogant. The emperor can also use this incident to suppress him a little, but he will not really do anything to Lu Lingsong.

But as long as she is around, the Lu family will never have a smooth life again.

"By the way, Miss, there is good news!"

"Huichun Hall said that the Qin family paid off their debt, over 30,000 taels! They also spent 500 taels to buy the Tianshan Buddha Lotus!"

"I think Princess Yi's headache will soon stop."

Jiang Ningwan's eyes lit up and she felt happier. Thirty thousand taels was not a small amount of money. The Qin family must have emptied their savings.

But the good mood disappeared when Qin Beihuang arrived.

Qin Beihuang said with disgust, "I thought you had some backbone after taking the Gold Condensing Formula, and that you had the courage and fortitude that ordinary ladies don't have. I didn't expect that you were actually trying to frame Lu Lingsong!"

If Jiang Ningwan hadn't had to pretend to be sick at this moment, she really wanted to kick him out.

"The General is ridiculous."

"If Lu Lingsong hadn't threatened me, would the emperor have fined him? You're saying I framed him, so you're saying the emperor can't make clear judgments and isn't a wise ruler."

Qin Beihuang's face suddenly changed and he was speechless.

"You've always been sharp-tongued and unreasonable. I can't argue with you! But whether it's a frame-up or not, you know it clearly in your heart."

"I also understand what you want. You are just jealous of everything Qingheng has. The Lu family has made great military achievements and has now replaced the Ling family. You hate Qingheng and you hate the Lu family."

"So you don't care about your offspring, but you still want to frame the Lu family."

"These methods of yours are truly despicable!"

Qin Beihuang felt heartbroken when he thought that Qingheng had to live under the same roof with such a vicious woman for decades, and didn't know how much grievance she had to endure.

Jiang Ningwan smiled wanly, "I'm right but I'm being unreasonable. General, why don't you consider that you're being unfair?"

"Forget it, I admit that I am not a good person."

"General, if you hate me so much, why bother coming to see me every day? Out of sight, out of mind."

Qin Beihuang's face froze and his eyes dodged for a moment.

He didn't know why, but he wanted to find Jiang Ningwan to expose her conspiracy and schemes, and he always hoped that she would admit her mistakes and repent.

But I kept hitting a wall and refused to budge.

"I came here to tell you that after the New Year, I will take Qingheng and mother to move into the new general's mansion. Then you will stay here alone and be your mistress."

Jiang Ningwan was slightly startled.

Qin Beihuang added, "If you are willing to repent, it's not impossible to take you with me."

"Don't!" Jiang Ningwan blurted out, "Don't take me with you. Out of sight, out of mind."

By that time she was no longer in the general's mansion, so where they moved to was none of her business.

"This is the last chance I give you!" Qin Beihuang said with a tone of disappointment.

It was this tone of voice that Jiang Ningwan hated. It sounded like someone was being so superior and generous that she should be grateful.

She said with disgust, "I wouldn't live in that shabby Xuanwei General's Mansion even if they begged me to!"
