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

Jiang Xiru felt so aggrieved that she was about to cry.

"father!"

Qi also tried her best to persuade Jiang Bingde, but failed.

Soon the servants went to Qinghui Garden to move things. Jiang Xiru ran back to the yard, anxious.

But I was powerless and could only watch my things being taken away one by one.

Her eyes turned red with anger.

Jiang Ningwan also went over to watch the fun. Although she would not come to live here again, she felt happy when she saw Jiang Xiru and Qi being wronged and bullied.

I didn't expect that Jiang Bingde would actually vacate Qinghuiyuan for her.

It was just right to let the mother and daughter taste the grievances she had suffered before.

"Jiang Ningwan is not coming back to live here again! Why do you insist on letting Xiru move to Xiaoxiangju?" Qi's eyes were filled with tears, and she complained in a sobbing voice.

Jiang Bingde said sternly, "Ning Wan has already given in. You've taken everything, and you're so stingy even with a yard? Besides, it originally belonged to Ning Wan."

"She finally agreed to come back, but you can't tolerate her?"

Jiang Bingde could not hide the anger between his brows.

This made Jiang Xiru and Qi angry but they dared not speak out.

Jiang Ningwan has already cut off all ties with her, why are you still rushing to curry favor with her!

Just then, when the servant was moving the cabinet, the cabinet door opened and a box fell out and landed on the ground.

No one paid attention, but at that moment Jiang Xiru rushed over as if she had lost her soul, picked up the box in a panic, and hid it under her sleeve.

"What's going on? Be careful!" Qi scolded the servant coldly.

"I'll go to Xiaoxiangju to pack up first." Jiang Xiru lowered her head and left calmly.

Something weird.

What was in that box that made her so nervous that she didn't even fight for the yard?

Qi watched the servants moving things. Jiang Ningwan slowly walked to the place where the box had just fallen and found a small piece of medicinal material left on the ground.

There is also a hint of blood.

Jiang Ningwan quietly put it away, planned to go back and check it out, and turned to leave.

Jiang Bingde tried to keep her, "Ningwan, Qinghui Garden will be cleaned up soon, you can stay here tonight."

"I'm afraid it won't be cleaned up for a while, and I'm not used to living here. I'll come back tomorrow morning."

"Please ask the Duke to urge Jiang Xiru to choose her clothes and jewelry as soon as possible."

When Jiang Bingde heard that she would come again tomorrow, his brows immediately lit up, "Okay, I'll urge her!"

"I send you."

The night wind was chilly, and winter was approaching. The night sky was as dark as ink, with no stars or moon, and the streets were even darker.

Jiang Bingde asked someone to prepare a carriage, intending to send Jiang Ningwan back personally.

"No need to send me off, I can go back by myself."

"But it's too late, I'm worried about you being alone."

Jiang Bingde insisted on sending her back.

Just then, a carriage came out of the darkness and stopped in front of the gate.

It’s the Ling family’s carriage.

Ling Chaowen jumped off the carriage and came forward to greet him enthusiastically, "Brother Jiang! Long time no see!"

Jiang Bingde looked embarrassed.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Ningwan was a little surprised.

"I'm here to pick you up. Jinlan is here too." Ling Chaowen pointed to the carriage.

The carriage curtain was lifted, and Ling Jinlan smiled.

"Duke Jiang can rest assured now. I'm not going back alone. Goodbye!"

Jiang Ningwan's tone became higher and she quickly got into the carriage.

"Brother Jiang, see you another day!" Ling Chaowen patted Jiang Bingde on the shoulder and quickly ran back to the carriage.

"It's so cold, let's go back quickly!" Ling Chaowen's shivering voice came from the carriage.

"Leng specially came here and brought Jinlan with him. What if he catches a cold?"

Ling Chaowen smiled and said, "Jinlan specially made some delicious food today and wanted you to taste her cooking. She couldn't wait and came to pick you up at the Duke of Jiang's mansion."

On the dark and quiet street, there was a warm conversation and laughter coming from the carriage.

As the carriage gradually went away and disappeared from sight, that touch of warmth seemed to be taken away as well. Jiang Bingde stood there for a long time.

Looking at the dark streets, a feeling of boundless loss spread in my heart.

The lonely back makes him look even older.

……

Return to Duke Ling’s Mansion.

Sure enough, a large table of food was prepared for her.

Although Jiang Ningwan had already eaten, these were all made by Jinlan herself. Not wanting to make her feel disappointed, Jiang Ningwan ate some out of courtesy.

"The taste is comparable to that of a restaurant chef! I didn't expect Jinlan to have such cooking skills!" Jiang Ningwan praised repeatedly.

Ling Jinlan smiled. She could see that her sister wanted to make her happy. She must be full after eating so much.

She quickly poured a cup of tea and said, "Eat slowly."

"Sister, was it the Queen's order that you go to the Duke of Jiang's mansion today? Did the Queen threaten you?"

Jiang Bingde had sent people to invite her many times, but Jiang Ningwan had never been to Duke Jiang's Mansion once.

It can be seen that she does not want to have any dealings with the Duke of Jiang's Mansion.

This time, it's for her.

"How could that be? He just asked me to deliver the wedding dress to Jiang Xiru." Jiang Ningwan said in a relaxed tone.

But Ling Jinlan didn't believe it.

He lowered his head and said seriously, "Sister, I am willing to marry you."

"Whether it's Leng Yan or Zhou Jingxuan, I'm willing to marry them."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Ningwan suddenly froze.

Seeing Ling Jinlan saying these words with such ease, Jiang Ningwan felt like being pricked by needles in her heart.

"Even if you want to, I won't agree!" Jiang Ningwan said firmly.

Ling Jinlan frowned and tried to persuade her, "Sister, it doesn't matter who I marry. I don't want you to do something you don't want to do for me."

"I didn't come back to Kyoto to become a burden to you."

"If the Emperor wishes to grant me marriage, it is my fate, it is destined."

Although she was unwilling in her heart, she had already prepared for the worst.

At worst, I can marry him and die with him.

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.

"I worked hard to rescue you from the North, but I didn't want to see you get married without thinking."

"And she married the wrong person."

"No matter what, I won't let you jump into this fire pit."

"If the imperial decree granting marriage is really issued, the worst that can happen is that I can just run away!"

Ling Jinlan wanted to say something else, but Jiang Ningwan said firmly, "Don't mention it again!"

Ling Jinlan then gave up.

"You've been pretending to be sick these past few days. The more seriously ill you are, the better. You want the Zhou family to be afraid to marry you!"

The imperial edict has not yet come down, so there is still room for improvement.

Ling Jinlan nodded.

……

At noon the next day, Jiang Ningwan came to Duke Jiang's Mansion again.

It depends on whether Jiang Xiru has made her selection and is ready to go to the palace to report.

Jiang Xiru didn't look happy when she saw her, but she had already chosen everything she needed to.

Jiang Ningwan curled her lips and chuckled, "It seems that Duke Jiang's words are still effective."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiru was particularly irritated. Anger surged in her heart, and she snorted coldly: "Don't think that Dad still cares about you."

"Just because you are still useful."

"There's nothing of yours left in this Duke's Mansion. This is no longer your home."

Jiang Ningwan smiled indifferently, not caring at all.

"Are you afraid of my coming back?"
