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

Chapter 220 I won’t tell my uncle about what happened that night

Looking at Qin Beihuang's concerned expression at this moment, Jiang Ningwan just found it ridiculous.

Qin Beihuang frowned, with a hint of guilt in his eyes. "I admit that I almost hurt you that night."

"But that wasn't my intention. I was drugged, too."

"That's why..."

"sorry."

Hearing the word "I'm sorry", Jiang Ningwan raised her eyebrows in surprise and couldn't help but doubt her ears.

"Qin Beihuang, please stop doing such ridiculous things. It was Lu Qingheng who gave me the drug and set the trap for me. Why are you saying sorry?"

"If you're truly sorry, then commit suicide and make amends."

"I'll forgive you then."

Qin Beihuang hesitated to speak.

He knew that any apology he made would be hypocritical.

At this moment, a carriage slowly came from the darkness.

Jiang Ningwan's eyes lit up and she quickly ran towards the carriage.

Qin Beihuang was stunned for a moment, then watched the carriage slow down in the night. A hand stretched out from inside, and Jiang Ningwan grabbed his hand and jumped onto the carriage.

The carriage did not stop and turned around and left.

Everything flows smoothly and in perfect harmony.

Because the carriage turned around, Jiang Ningwan fell into Qin Shuangchi's arms and sat down.

Anyway, his leg is fine now.

If I were limping, I wouldn't dare sit.

Qin Shuangchi put his arm around her waist, but his eyes saw Qin Beihuang's figure through the curtain of the car window.

"Why is he here?"

Jiang Ningwan put one arm around his neck and picked up some snacks to fill her stomach with the other.

"He must be sick."

"I came to apologize to me."

Hearing this, Qin Shuangchi's eyes darkened a little, and the big hands around her waist unconsciously increased their strength.

"What about you? Have you forgiven him?"

Jiang Ningwan noticed the change in his tone and movements and couldn't help but chuckle, "What if I forgive you? What if I don't forgive you?"

"I don't want you to be deceived by him." Qin Shuangchi's tone became a little colder.

Jiang Ningwan raised the corners of her lips slightly, picked up the cake and fed it to him, coaxing: "You worry too much, how could I possibly forgive him?"

Zhou Jingxuan's chess piece will soon come in handy.

In the next few days, Jiang Ningwan trained in the army until late every day.

The elite troops were training in a separate place. Zhou Jingxuan was not selected and could not see what they were training, so he was extremely anxious.

He also tried to inquire about it privately, but the elite troops were all very tight-lipped and refused to reveal a single word.

Such mystery made Zhou Jingxuan even more anxious.

When it was dark that day, Jiang Ningwan was having a secret conversation with Ren Tiankuo in the tent, and Zhou Jingxuan couldn't help but quietly approach the tent.

"General, I've got a map of Qingfeng Mountain, but it's from a few years ago. I wonder if the mountain has changed much now."

Jiang Ningwan took it and took a look. "It's okay. Although the trees and grass have changed, the terrain hasn't changed much."

"Then we'll split our forces into three groups and launch surprise attacks from these locations."

"We shouldn't have too many people, lest we alert the enemy. These tomb robbers must have dug a secret passage in the mountains. We can't let them escape!"

Ren Tiankuo nodded, "Yes!"

"But if we only take the elite troops, will there be enough people?"

Jiang Ningwan: "That's enough. These tomb robbers only have three to five hundred people. Our elite troops are enough!"

"Tomorrow I will go to the palace to see the emperor and ask for permission to clear out Qingfeng Mountain."

"This gang of tomb robbers roams around all year round and is extremely difficult to catch. They have hidden countless antiques and rare treasures, worth at least hundreds of thousands of taels."

"When I take Qingfeng Mountain, you will lead your men to secretly meet me from the back mountain. Keep half of this batch of supplies for military supplies."

Ren Tiankuo nodded, "Okay!"

Outside the tent, Zhou Jingxuan heard all the conversations and was secretly shocked. There was indeed something strange!

She even wanted to embezzle half of the antiques and rare treasures!

Such a big fat sheep, we can’t let Jiang Ningwan slaughter it!

Thinking of this, Zhou Jingxuan immediately left quietly, left the military camp under the cover of night, and rushed back to Kyoto City.

Only when there was no more noise outside did Ren Tiankuo walk out of the tent and take a look.

"General, he's gone. He must have gone back to report the news."

Jiang Ningwan walked out of the tent slowly, narrowing her eyes slightly, "The fish has taken the bait."

Ren Tiankuo asked doubtfully, "Are there really tomb robbers in Qingfeng Mountain?"

Jiang Ningwan smiled and said, "Of course there are, and there are a lot of good stuff, but this is not an easy bone to chew."

Now that the Lu family's power has suffered setbacks one after another, they must be in urgent need of an opportunity to make a contribution.

They placed Zhou Jingxuan in Ling Weijun for this purpose, wanting to keep an eye on Ling Weijun's every move.

Then give them a big gift.

After discussing with Ren Tiankuo, it was already late at night.

Jiang Ningwan left the military camp, and to her surprise, Qin Beihuang came again.

But the carriage of the Prince of Chu's Palace was also parked aside, and Qin Beihuang did not come forward.

Jiang Ningwan quickly got on the carriage.

After the carriage turned around, Xiao Lan immediately sped up.

"Why does General Qin come here every day? Lu Qingheng is too sick to get out of bed, but he has the leisure to go to the Lingwei Army camp."

Jiang Ningwan said coldly, "He must be planning something bad to harm me."

"The prince comes to pick up his wife every day, so he probably won't have the chance to do it."

……

Early the next morning.

Jiang Ningwan entered the palace.

It was rare to see Lu Lingsong and Qin Beihuang at the morning court.

As expected, Lu Lingsong stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, today I have tracked down a group of tomb robbers entrenched in Qingfeng Mountain. They have stolen a huge amount of loot."

"I request your permission to lead the troops to clear out the rebellion!"

Jiang Ningwan's eyebrows twitched and she pretended to be surprised.

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "I heard your sister was injured and is now bedridden. She is still in danger."

"Just take care of her at home."

"Catch the tomb robbers, then..."

Seeing the emperor's gaze sweeping over Jiang Ningwan, Lu Lingsong became anxious and quickly signaled to Qin Beihuang with his eyes.

Qin Beihuang immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to make meritorious contributions while serving my sentence!"

The emperor hesitated to respond, waiting for Jiang Ningwan to take the initiative.

Qin Beihuang was extremely nervous. He lowered his head, but his eyes were fixed on Jiang Ningwan. He whispered, "If you don't go, I won't tell my uncle what happened that night."

Jiang Ningwan looked at him in shock.

Threaten her?

Threaten her with what happened that night?

Jiang Ningwan was so angry that she gritted her teeth. If she didn't really want Qin Beihuang to die, she would have taken on this job.

She suppressed her anger and kept silent.

Until the emperor couldn't wait any longer and said, "Jiang Ningwan, what about you?"

Jiang Ningwan immediately started coughing and pretending to be sick. "Your Majesty, I've recently caught a cold and haven't recovered yet. I'm afraid I can't take on this important responsibility!"

Seeing this, the emperor thought she was deliberately trying to hold back. After all, the Ling family was currently on the rise, and she was afraid of becoming the target of public criticism.

He has a sense of propriety and knows when to advance and retreat.

So he had no choice but to say: "Qin Beihuang, then you go."

Although Qin Beihuang and Lu Qingheng are a family, I heard that they have had a lot of conflicts recently.

The Lu family will treat them coldly for a while. After all, Qin Beihuang is of royal blood and can be used.

"I accept your order!"

After the court was dismissed, Jiang Ningwan left angrily.

Qin Beihuang quickly caught up with a hint of guilt in his eyes.

"I don't mean to threaten you. I won't tell anyone about what happened that night."

Looking at the ministers who were all around him leaving the court, Jiang Ningwan felt his scalp tingle and anger surged to his head.

"Shut up, you!"

She yelled angrily and walked away.
