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

I saw a small flowerpot under the bed with a grass planted in it.

Jiang Ningwan lay on the ground, took out the flowerpot, put it to her nose and smelled it. A pungent smell of medicine penetrated her nose.

"What is this? I remember we didn't have this in our room before." Li Chun asked in confusion.

Jiang Ningwan clenched her palms tightly and gritted her teeth, "Blood-draining grass."

There is an ingredient in the Ningjin recipe, which is a leaf of the Xuejiecao herb. It must be soaked and dried repeatedly until its medicinal properties are greatly reduced before it can be used as medicine.

This is also the reason why Doctor Xu repeatedly reminded people to pay attention to the dosage. If too much Sanguisorba officinalis is used, it will cause extremely serious damage to the body.

This fresh piece of Sanguisorba officinalis, placed under her bed, would release its medicinal properties over time, which was equivalent to taking dozens of bowls of Ningjin Fang every day.

Looking back on her past life, her health was deteriorating, and no matter how precious the medicinal herbs were, they could not save her. It turned out that it was not caused by that bowl of gold-condensing prescription.

But it’s this blood-draining grass!

Realizing this, Jiang Ningwan pinched her knuckles until they turned white, anger rushed to her head, and her brain was buzzing.

When Lichun learned about the harmful effects of this grass, her expression suddenly changed, "Who wants to harm the young lady?"

Jiang Ningwan's eyes were cold. "Live Sanguisorba officinalis is a forbidden item. You might not even find it on the black market. It's only available outside the Great Wall."

Needless to say, only Qin Beihuang and Lu Qingheng in the general's mansion could get it.

Lu Qingheng is more likely to be the one because she has a brother named Lu Lingsong, and it wouldn't be difficult for him to get the blood-clotting grass by using his military connections.

"Then it can only be... No wonder so many flowers and plants were sent here, just to cover up the smell of this Sanguisorba officinalis!" Li Chun was very angry.

"Miss, I'll go tell the Duke!"

Jiang Ningwan quickly stopped her, "Don't go. This alone can't prove it was sent by Lu Qingheng. It will only alert the enemy."

"Put the blood-draining grass back first."

Li Chun was shocked. "But this thing is harmful to your health. It's dangerous to keep it for a while longer."

"I'm going to sleep in the next room and pretend I don't know about this."

Li Chun nodded and put the Sanguisorba officinalis back under the bed.

Pretend nothing happened. —

This morning.

Jiang Ningwan was about to go out when she ran into Lu Qingheng, Princess Yi and others in the front yard.

Qin Jianjian was there too. The three of them dressed up carefully and went out together in a very good mood.

Princess Yi also looked very happy, as if something happy had happened.

"Ningwan, what a coincidence that you are out too. Why don't you come with us to visit General Xuanwei's Mansion?" Lu Qingheng made a friendly invitation with a confident look on his face.

Qin Jianjian immediately took Lu Qingheng's arm and said arrogantly, "Sister-in-law has already paid for the renovation of General Xuanwei's Mansion."

"But I haven't prepared your yard yet, so if you go and see it, you'll just be envious."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was a little surprised. It would cost a lot of money to renovate the Xuanwei General's Mansion, and this money must have come from the Lu family.

Thinking of the Sanguisorba officinalis, she understood why the Lu family could be so generous.

Once the blood-drying grass takes her life, won't all her dowry belong to them?

What a good plan!

Jiang Ningwan smiled and said, "Then I wish you can move in soon."

After saying that, she walked away.

Qin Jianjian smiled complacently and said, "You pretend not to care, but you are actually envious of us."

"She'll be left here all alone, feeling miserable. I'm afraid she'll be begging us for help soon."

Hearing those harsh words, Jiang Ningwan's eyes turned cold. She wanted to see when they could move in.

Jiang Ningwan and Li Chun did not go far after leaving, but just walked around and came back through the back door.

Aunt Xu is here to meet them.

"How is it? Did Ying'er go?" Jiang Ningwan asked.

Aunt Xu nodded and said, "Just gone."

Jiang Ningwan immediately went to Zhenyue Pavilion, lowered her footsteps, walked to the door, and peeked inside.

Sure enough, I saw Ying'er take out the Sanguisorba officinalis from under the bed and water and fertilize it.

It seems that in her previous life, Ying'er took advantage of her absence to take care of the Sanguisorba officinalis under the pretext of tidying up the room.

"What are you doing!" Jiang Ningwan broke into the room and grabbed Ying'er's wrist.

Ying'er was horrified and her face turned pale, "I..."

She was so frightened that she stammered and couldn't speak.

Jiang Ningwan slowly sat down on the chair and signaled Lichun to lock the gate.

Aunt Xu scolded sternly, "Ying'er, don't be silly! Tell me everything!"

Ying'er knelt on the ground and trembled. "I just came to Madam's room to take care of the flowers and plants."

Jiang Ningwan slowly picked up the teacup, "Don't think I don't know what this pot of grass is. You'd better tell me the truth, and I can give you a lighter punishment. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to sell you off."

Hearing this, Ying'er gritted her teeth and tears suddenly fell.

Seeing that she still didn't say anything, Aunt Xu grabbed Ying'er's arm and dragged her out. "Don't bother with anything, Madam. I'll sell her out right away!"

"Mrs. Lu asked me to do this." Ying'er burst into tears.

When these words were spoken, Aunt Xu's eyes widened.

Jiang Ningwan's eyes were filled with murderous intent. It was indeed her!

Ying'er immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times, "Please, Madam, forgive me."

"My sister is sick and has borrowed a lot of money. Now she can't pay it back. She was taken to a brothel by the creditor. I want to save her..."

Jiang Ningwan frowned, "How much did Lu Qingheng give you to redeem the person?"

"Ten taels a month, I can keep my sister at a brothel for a month, so she doesn't have to entertain customers."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan sneered, "She really has a kind heart. She wants to save people, so why doesn't she help you redeem your sister?"

She just wanted to use this as a threat to keep Ying'er under her control for years.

Ying'er bit her lower lip tightly, trying hard to hold back her tears.

"Lichun, give her one hundred taels." Jiang Ningwan took a sip of tea.

When the banknote was handed to Ying'er, she was so shocked that she couldn't believe it. "Madam...are you really going to give it to me?"

"Use it to redeem your sister."

Ying'er kowtowed deeply upon hearing this, "Thank you, Madam. Your kindness is so great, I will never forget it."

Aunt Xu hurriedly said, "From now on, do you know which master to listen to?"

"I know this servant, my life belongs to Madam! I will do whatever Madam tells me to do!"

Jiang Ningwan was filled with hatred. In her previous life, Ying'er had done all these things right under her nose, causing her to only live for seven short years after marrying into the family.

But reason told her that everyone has weaknesses, and poor families face difficulties everywhere, being exploited and threatened by others. Ultimately, it is all for survival.

The mastermind behind this is Lu Qingheng, and this blood feud must be blamed on Lu Qingheng.

"Okay, let's just pretend that what happened today never happened. You report to Lu Qingheng as usual. I want to know everything that Mo Yun Pavilion does."

Ying'er nodded repeatedly, "Yes!"

"You go down."

After they left, Li Chun asked unwillingly, "Miss, aren't we going to settle the score with them for this?"

"Of course, but if we say this behind closed doors in the mansion, who will stand on our side?"

A hint of coldness flashed across Jiang Ningwan's eyes. "Of course, the bigger the commotion, the bigger it will be!"

She suddenly changed her mind. A mere divorce was too easy for them. She asked for an imperial decree of divorce!

Divorce Qin Beihuang with dignity!
