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

She had never thought of following Qin Beihuang to the southern expedition.

But Qin Beihuang didn't believe it. "Why do you have to deceive yourself?"

Before they got married, every time they met, Jiang Ningwan's gaze would linger on him for a moment longer.

You will pay extra attention to your words and actions in front of him, which is a sign of liking someone.

"If I had taken you to the Southern Expedition that year, you wouldn't have participated in the Second Southern Expedition."

He saw how determined she was during the second southern expedition.

Jiang Ningwan frowned, "I joined the Southern Expedition in my own capacity, not to follow you."

"If I followed you on the Southern Expedition on your wedding night, what would I be? A foil?"

"Even if I have made military achievements, I won't get any share."

"I'd be crazy to follow you on the Southern Expedition."

She did not deny that she had feelings for Qin Beihuang when they got married. Because he left something behind, she chased him for a while in her wedding dress.

But to say that she wanted to follow the southern expedition was absolutely impossible.

Hearing these harsh words, Qin Beihuang couldn't help but clench his palms. He couldn't believe that the truth could be like this!

"I'm going to rest now, please do as you please."

After saying that, Jiang Ningwan went back to the side hall to sleep.

With nothing to do in the palace, he became increasingly sleepy.

To Jiang Ningwan's surprise, Qin Beihuang came again the next day.

Some fruit was delivered today.

The Queen Mother praised him a few words, but when she saw some of the sour fruits, she realized something.

"Beihuang, I understand your intentions. I will arrange for these foods, so you don't have to bring them yourself."

Qin Beihuang nodded, "I understand."

Jiang Ningwan glanced at the fruit but didn't touch it.

But Qin Beihuang was extremely persistent. For several days in a row, he would come to Shouchun Palace to stay for a while.

Greetings to the Queen Mother.

But every time after lunch, the Queen Mother would go for a nap soon.

There were only two of them left in the hall.

Jiang Ningwan was afraid of gossip, so she also hid in the room to rest.

But Qin Beihuang went to Shouchun Palace frequently, and the news spread out of the palace.

That day, Qin Beihuang came again. After the Queen Mother went for a nap, Jiang Ningwan sat in the garden to enjoy the breeze.

Qin Beihuang walked over.

Seeing him coming, Jiang Ningwan wanted to get up and leave.

Qin Beihuang suddenly spoke up: "Da Yan's army has arrived at the border, and the battle will begin soon."

"I wonder if the emperor's uncle can come back safely this time."

"I don't know how long this battle will last. I'm afraid my uncle won't be able to be with you when you give birth."

Jiang Ningwan frowned. Da Yan was about to go to war, and Xie Chenyuan hadn't arrived at the border safely yet.

According to the distance and time, they should have reached the north.

This made her worried, wondering if they would encounter any accidents on the way.

At this moment of distraction, a figure suddenly came into view.

Lu Qingheng looked sullen and walked over angrily, staring at Jiang Ningwan fiercely.

Jiang Ningwan remained calm and sat firmly on the stool.

"Qingheng, why are you here?" Qin Beihuang stood up, a little surprised.

Lu Qingheng brushed his hand away and asked, "Why don't you go home these days? Are you running here every day?"

Recently, Qin Beihuang has been going home less and less often, leaving early and returning late every day. He thought that the two countries were about to go to war and he was busy with military affairs.

But I didn’t expect that he would go to Shouchun Palace every day!

It’s too late to see Jiang Ning!

Qin Beihuang frowned and looked at Jiang Ningwan, "Why don't you go back to your room and rest first."

Jiang Ningwan raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Why should I enter the room?"

"This is Shouchun Palace, not your home."

"If you and your spouse have any conflicts, you can go home and resolve them. Why do you need others to make room for you?"

Seeing her arrogant look, Lu Qingheng was very angry.

Knowing that this was Shouchun Palace, she didn't dare to get angry.

He could only say a few sarcastic words: "The King of Chu has gone to the north. Some people should not forget their status and keep themselves clean."

"Don't be so anxious to bother someone else's husband."

At this moment, two more figures appeared in front of them, and a clear, sarcastic voice was heard: "The Crown Prince's Consort can't control her husband, nor can she control her own mouth. I don't know how she managed a military camp in the first place."

"It seems that he was seriously injured at the time, and his head was injured."

Ling Jinlan walked over slowly.

"Jinlan!" Jiang Ningwan was delighted.

Ling Jinlan came forward to support her and looked at Qin Beihuang meaningfully.

"A good horse never turns back."

"General Qin, please keep yourself clean and respect yourself."

Qin Beihuang's face turned ugly, and he pulled Lu Qingheng up and left quickly.

Lu Qingheng didn't shake off his hand until they were far away from Shouchun Palace.

"If the Queen Mother were there, she would punish you again!" Qin Beihuang frowned.

"Haven't I been punished enough? When have you ever protected me?" Lu Qingheng said with contempt.

"Aren't you ashamed of what Ling Jinlan said?"

"The King of Chu went to the Northland and was about to go to war with Dayan. How dare you take advantage of the situation and come here to harass the Princess of Chu?"

When Lu Qingheng thought of this, he became very angry.

She knew that Qin Beihuang's heart was no longer with her, but he should at least save her face!

"The Imperial Uncle is going to the North, so what's wrong with me taking care of the Imperial Aunt? Don't think of me as such a dirty person!"

Lu Qingheng chuckled: "Oh, take care of the Queen Aunt, do you believe it yourself?"

"I have nothing to explain!" Qin Beihuang was a little exasperated and left in anger.

Looking at his departing back, Lu Qingheng's eyes turned red with anger.

The distance between her and Qin Beihuang was growing farther and farther.

Recalling the inseparable relationship they had back then, she couldn't understand how it had come to this. Who had changed?

……

In Shouchun Palace.

Jiang Ningwan pulled Ling Jinlan to sit down, very happy, "Why did you come to the palace?"

"Qin Beihuang has been going to Shouchun Palace recently, and the news has spread outside the palace, so we came to see my sister."

Ling Chaowen was also dissatisfied and said: "This Qin Beihuang is really despicable. He took advantage of the King of Chu's absence to come and harass you."

"If bad things happen to spread, you'll be the one to be scolded."

Ling Jinlan nodded and said, "I came to the palace to accompany my aunt. I've been living in Yongning Palace recently. I come here to accompany you every day. I think I can stop Qin Beihuang."

"If he comes, there will be only three of us, and no bad words will be spread."

Jiang Ningwan raised the corners of her lips slightly and took Ling Jinlan's hand, "That's great. I was just worried about being bored in the palace."

After Ling Jinlan settled down in the palace, Qin Beihuang did not come again.

Jiang Ningwan took a walk in the palace every day, admired the flowers, and drank tea with Ling Jinlan, which was quite pleasant.

The only concern is that there has been no new progress in the war in the north.

Qin Shuang's letters reporting his safety were getting later and later.

There has been no news for ten days now.

Jiang Ningwan couldn't wait any longer, so she left the palace and went to Jinghong Pavilion to ask about Shen Lanyi's whereabouts.

But the servant replied, "The master hasn't come back yet. There has been no news for more than half a month."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's heart sank.

"If there is any news about her, please go to Prince Chu's mansion and tell her. I have something urgent to discuss with her."
