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

For the next few days, Xie Chenyuan lived in the Prince Chu's Mansion.

Xie Chenyuan came here to buy weapons and planned to exchange them for Dayan's warhorses.

After the King of Chu recovered the northern land, the two countries had already negotiated peace and formed an alliance. This time, they came to purchase weapons with sincerity and made some concessions in terms of interests, so the business talks went smoothly.

The deal was reached and the contract was signed the next day.

Afterwards, Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi took Xie Chenyuan to Jinghong Pavilion.

Shen Lanyi was informed in advance that she would come, but she was not told that she would bring Xie Chenyuan.

Jinghong Pavilion.

As soon as the three of them sat down, Shen Lianyi brought some snacks. When she saw Qin Shuangchi's face, she was shocked. "Am I seeing things? Your Highness the Prince of Chu?"

Earlier, news came from the palace that the King of Chu had stood up.

She still had some doubts.

I didn't expect that he actually stood up.

Qin Shuangchi nodded slightly.

Jiang Ningwan paid attention to Xie Chenyuan's reaction. When he saw Shen Lanyi, he was slightly surprised for a moment, but seemed to be shocked by Shen Lanyi's appearance and temperament.

"Miss Shen, let me introduce you. This is the second prince of Dayan, Xie Chenyuan."

"I wonder if you have ever seen it?"

Xie Chenyuan quickly stood up and praised politely, "When I heard General Jiang talk about Jinghong Pavilion, I kept wondering what kind of person the owner of Jinghong Pavilion was. I never thought she would be such an extraordinary beauty."

Shen Lianyi smiled and said, "I have long heard of the Second Prince's great name. Nice to meet you!"

The two exchanged a few pleasantries before Shen Lianyi said, "Just watch the show. I won't bother you any more."

Then Shen Lianyi left.

It seemed as if the two of them had never met before and did not know each other.

While watching the performance, Xie Chenyuan seemed to be seeing all this for the first time and exclaimed in amazement repeatedly.

"That's amazing! How did you do that?!"

"it's beautiful!"

“It’s like a fairyland!”

……

Xie Chenyuan's exclamations never stopped until the end of the performance.

Jiang Ningwan jokingly asked, "Second Prince, aren't you thirsty?"

Xie Chenyuan came back to his senses, a hint of disappointment in his eyes, and he was still unsatisfied. "I have never seen such a novel thing. I am sorry to have made you laugh!"

"The person who can come up with such an exquisite performance must be a truly talented and brilliant genius!"

Jiang Ningwan smiled and said, "Then I'll introduce you to Miss Shen? And ask her to open Jinghong Pavilion to Dayan?"

Xie Chenyuan took it seriously and was very excited. "That's great! I'll definitely discuss this with Miss Shen when I have time!"

Looking at him like this, it seems that he has never seen a performance at Jinghong Pavilion.

It was already late at night when they came out of Jinghong Pavilion, and the three of them returned to the Prince Chu's Mansion.

After washing up, Jiang Ningwan wore a plain dress, with her long black hair flowing, and bent over the desk to paint a portrait.

The night wind blew in through the window, bringing a hint of coolness.

Qin Shuangchi picked up his coat and put it on her, then he leaned forward to take a look and asked, "What are you drawing?"

"Xie Chenyuan."

Qin Shuangchi was stunned.

After Jiang Ningwan finished painting, she put the two portraits together to cover the lower half of her face.

"Look, do they look alike?"

Qin Shuangchi was slightly surprised, "Looking at it this way, their eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar."

"Do you suspect they are related?"

Jiang Ningwan nodded, "The first time I saw Xie Chenyuan, I felt that he looked a bit like Shen Lanyi."

She had a lot of contact with Shen Lianyi, so she was more familiar with Shen Lianyi's appearance.

"But their reaction today was like they were seeing it for the first time."

Qin Shuangchi pondered, "It's possible that he's pretending not to know me, but it's also possible that they just look alike. The world is so big, it's not surprising that they look alike."

"Shen Lianyi's identity is unknown. I have already sent people to keep an eye on Jinghong Pavilion."

Jiang Ningwan nodded.

Although she had cooperated with Shen Lanyi, she was gathering information in Daning Kingdom. If she was a spy from another country, she had to be on guard.

"Okay, it's late, go to sleep." Qin Shuangchi took her hand and coaxed her in a low voice.

"Ah."

……

The autumn air is getting colder and leaves are falling in the yard.

Jiang Xiru walked back and forth in the yard with the help of a crutch, but every time she wanted to let go of the crutch, her legs were too weak.

After practicing for so long, I can only walk with a limp.

Qi was watching from the side and felt distressed. "Xiru, take a rest."

Jiang Xiru didn't say anything, but gritted his teeth and persevered, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

At this moment, Ling'er came running over, "Madam, I've found out everything. The King of Chu's leg has been cured. It's true!"

"Many people have seen the King of Chu on the streets these past two days. Although he's still in a wheelchair most of the time, some people have seen him standing up! He's no different from an ordinary person now!"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Xiru's face turned pale and she wanted to rush over to grab Ling'er, "What did you say!"

But because he was too anxious, he accidentally tripped and fell to the ground.

"Xiru!" Qi quickly helped her up.

Jiang Xiru collapsed and pushed Qi away, beating her legs angrily. "The King of Chu can stand up, why can't I? Why, why, why!"

"Xiru, don't be like this, Xiru." Qi was so heartbroken that she burst into tears.

At this moment, Jiang Bingde hurried over, saw this scene and quickly picked her up from the ground.

"Xiru, get up quickly!"

Jiang Xiru burst into tears and angrily pushed Jiang Bingde away, "Don't touch me!"

"Dad, do you understand now? Jiang Ningwan wants the Boundless Holy Fruit to punish King Chu!"

"She would rather use it to punish the King of Chu than give it to me..."

Hearing this, Jiang Bingde was slightly surprised.

Seeing Jiang Xiru crying, he couldn't bear it. "Since there is a medicinal herb like the Wuya Holy Fruit, it will definitely be found again in the world! Dad will definitely find it for you!"

Jiang Xiru smiled bitterly, tears sliding down her pale cheeks.

"How long? Ten years? Twenty years?"

"Will I still be of use to it then?"

Jiang Bingde squatted down, held her shoulders, and said solemnly: "Give me two or three years, and I will definitely find the Boundless Holy Fruit."

"Your leg will definitely get better!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hasn't cancelled the engagement, so it's fine for him to wait for you for two or three years."

Jiang Xiru felt extremely desperate. She knew that she would not be able to keep the engagement in two or three years.

She felt resentful because her father knew that the Boundless Holy Fruit was in Jiang Ningwan's hands, but he refused to snatch it away.

Let her legs be lame all the time.

In her father's heart, Jiang Ningwan, a daughter who has been severed from her family, is more important than her!

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiru gritted his teeth and pinched his palms so hard that it hurt.

Jiang Bingde carried Jiang Xiru back to the room and immediately went to find a way to find medicine.

In the room, Jiang Xiru held her mother's hand and said, "Mom, I want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Can you ask him to come over?"

Qi nodded immediately, "I'll go and invite him! I'll definitely invite him!"

……

The next day.

Crown Prince Qin Chengqian came to the Duke's Mansion to visit Jiang Xiru.

Qi left the room and let them talk alone.

"If you have something to say, just say it quickly. We shouldn't be alone in a room to avoid gossip." Qin Chengqian sat far away and didn't want to get close.

Jiang Xiru clenched her sleeves, she knew that the prince disliked her.

She also dislikes herself.

She asked nervously, "Does the engagement that Your Highness promised before still count?"

Qin Chengqian was silent for a while, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Actually you……"

As soon as the words came out, Jiang Xiru interrupted: "I can help Your Highness get what you want!"

Qin Chengqian sighed and said, "I don't want to go back on my promise, but even if I want to marry you, my father and mother won't agree."

"The Crown Princess is the future Queen and cannot have any physical disabilities."
