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

Qin Beihuang's whole body trembled, as if he had been pricked by a needle. He smiled contemptuously, "What a rich young lady!"

After saying that, he walked away.

After he left, Lichun quickly closed the door and locked it in disgust.

At night, Lu Lingsong went to the Duke's Mansion to apologize. He chose to go at night because he was afraid of being embarrassed, but Duke Jiang knew what he was planning and refused to see him.

After dawn, he went to court and reported Lu Lingsong again in front of all the civil and military officials.

Yesterday, only the emperor knew about it, and he had already given Lu Lingsong enough face. Today, there will be no mercy.

When the civil and military officials in the court learned about this, they all criticized Lu Lingsong for going too far and bullying others by taking advantage of his power.

The censors could not tolerate such bullying behavior, so they remonstrated again and again and scolded Lu Lingsong harshly in the court.

So the emperor fined Lu Lingsong another half year's salary.

For Lu Lingsong, it was a blessing that he was not demoted, so he didn't dare to worry about how much his annual salary was.

When Lu Qingheng learned about this, he felt like the sky had fallen.

"A year's salary fine? Brother, we'll be broke then."

Lu Lingsong said: "It's okay. I still have some of the previous rewards and pensions from my father and elder brother, which is enough to cover my family's expenses for a year."

Lu Qingheng looked embarrassed. She wanted to borrow money to renovate General Xuanwei's Mansion, but how could she ask for it now?

"No, I can't take this breath!"

Coming back to his senses, Lu Lingsong's eyes grew colder. "That Jiang Ningwan is indeed not a pushover. She's more difficult to deal with than we thought. You must have suffered a lot of injustice in the General's Mansion."

"You can't let her go like this. I have a plan that can help you take control of the General's Mansion sooner."

Lu Qingheng immediately stepped forward and whispered.

After hearing the plan, his eyes lit up.

After lying in bed for two days, Jiang Ningwan really couldn't sit still anymore. The sun was shining brightly that day, so he took Lichun out for a walk.

Bought a lot of jewelry and clothes.

Nineteen years old is the age when people love dressing up.

In the past, I was afraid of being too flashy and displeasing my mother-in-law, so I always wore plain clothes.

Now I like these colorful dresses and jewelry very much.

When passing by a dental clinic, Jiang Ningwan thought for a moment and walked in.

Shopkeeper Xue was immediately attracted by the master and servant at the door. He recognized Master Jin Gui as the master and hurried forward to greet him.

"This girl, do you want to buy a house?"

Jiang Ningwan nodded. "Well, I want to buy a quiet house. It doesn't have to be too big. I'll live alone."

Shopkeeper Xue's eyes rolled, "Yes, yes, yes, there's a wonderful house on Jinxiu Street!"

Jiang Ningwan shook her head in dissatisfaction, "Jinxiu Street is still a bit noisy."

"That Ruyi Street..."

Jiang Ningwan still shook her head.

Shopkeeper Xue scratched his head and said, "If it were any quieter, only Qingping Lane would be left."

"But the house there is rather simple."

Jiang Ningwan's eyes lit up, "Let me see the one in Qingping Lane."

Shopkeeper Xue quickly brought out a few pictures and introduced them to her, but Jiang Ningwan stared at the words and clenched her palms tightly.

No. 32 Qingping Lane!

What luck!

"That's it, I'll buy it!"

Shopkeeper Xue and Li Chun were both shocked.

This house is small, old and in a very remote location. What's the point of buying it?

"Miss, you are such a straightforward person. I will go and ask Rong Niang to sign the contract!" Shopkeeper Xue quickly agreed, and the shabby house was finally sold.

After a while, Rong Niang arrived. Her face looked a little haggard, but she couldn't hide her joy.

He pulled Shopkeeper Xue to express his gratitude: "Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Xue. The house has been sold. Now I finally have enough money to go look for my daughter."

Jiang Ningwan was lost in thought as she stared at the drawings, not paying attention to their conversation.

After coming to my senses, I signed the contract smoothly.

Rong Niang took the money and left in a hurry.

Shopkeeper Xue looked at Jiang Ningwan cheerfully, "Miss, is there anything else you need?"

Jiang Ningwan handed him the blueprints and said, "I want to sell this house."

The smile on Shopkeeper Xue's face froze, "Ah?"

"I suddenly don't like it anymore. Please help me sell it. But I have a condition. I only sell girls in this house, not men."

"As for the price, you can always contact me and we can negotiate."

After saying that, Jiang Ningwan walked away.

Shopkeeper Xue came to his senses and quickly asked, "What's the girl's name? Where can I find her?"

Li Chun replied, "Our young lady is the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion."

Xue Fu was shocked. He looked at the departing figures of the master and servant, and then at the dilapidated house he had just bought and returned to. "Rich people are so casual."

Walking out of the dental clinic, Jiang Ningwan was in a very good mood.

Li Chun was puzzled, "Miss, why are we buying and selling again? Isn't that a loss?"

Jiang Ningwan said meaningfully, "You'll know later."

Back then, my grandfather was framed by a letter treasonous to the enemy. She believed that only people in the army could have letters from the enemy, so she started her investigation from the army.

After many years of investigation, it was finally discovered that a woman had placed the letter of treason in my grandfather's bedroom.

It was her cousin's mistress - Lin Qinglai.

It took many years to track down Lin Qinglai's whereabouts, and she was finally caught at No. 32 Qingping Lane.

This is the only survivor in that case, and her confession is enough to overturn the verdict.

According to the time calculation, when the Ling family was exiled, Lin Qinglai was also exiled, and now she is not in Kyoto.

But one day, maybe he will come back.

She was just trying her luck today, but she didn't expect that this house was actually for sale. Now that she had bought it and was waiting for something to happen, she might be able to catch Lin Qinglai even faster.

When Jiang Ningwan returned to Zhenyue Pavilion in the evening, she immediately noticed something was wrong with the room.

Several pots of plum blossoms were added.

Looking around, I saw that many flower pots had been added to the yard.

Immediately let Lichun call Aunt Xu over.

"Madam is back. Dinner is already being prepared and will be served shortly."

Aunt Xu is very attentive and has recently arranged unique meals for Jiang Ningwan.

"Has anyone come into my room today?"

Madam Xu quickly said, "Yes, Madam Lu said winter was dull, so she added some flowers to each courtyard and assigned an extra maid to Madam's courtyard to tidy up the rooms and take care of the flowers and plants."

"If Madam doesn't like these flowers, I'll have them removed."

Jiang Ningwan frowned slightly. In her previous life, she would add flowers to each courtyard every winter, and she did pick an extra maid for her own courtyard.

"Who is the maid assigned to me?"

"Ying'er."

Jiang Ningwan's palms tightened, but the maid didn't change.

It is common for wealthy families to add flowers to their homes, but it is a bit unusual now that the government is cutting back on spending.

"I see, you go down."

"Yes!"

After Aunt Xu left, Jiang Ningwan immediately stood up and checked a few pots of flowers, "Lichun, check the things in the room."

"See if there's anything unusual."

The two of them checked back and forth in the room and found nothing was missing.

"The only scent in the room seems to be the strong fragrance of plum blossoms. I didn't notice anything else."

Li Chun's words made Jiang Ningwan's eyebrows jump.

Yes, the aroma is a bit strong.

During the seven years of her previous life, the flowers in her room that were changed in different seasons were all fragrant, and the fragrance could be smelled all year round.

"Check again! More carefully!"

Just as he finished speaking, Li Chun suddenly exclaimed: "Miss! Look!"

Jiang Ningwan followed Li Chun's gaze, squatted down and looked under the bed.

His expression changed.
