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

Eunuch Hai saw that they all looked sad and worried, and knew that they were not happy with this marriage, so he comforted them by saying:

"The Emperor said that he would grant the marriage first, and then the two families would become one family, and they would work together to cure Miss Ling's illness."

"When you recover from your illness, it's not too late to get married."

Jiang Ningwan clenched her palms tightly, "What if Jinlan's illness can't be cured?"

Eunuch Hai replied, "If it doesn't heal, Master Zhou will wait for Miss Ling for the rest of her life."

"This is the promise made by the young master of the Zhou family in person before His Majesty."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan frowned, "Did Zhou Jingxuan take the initiative to ask for marriage?"

Eunuch Hai nodded, "Yes, upon learning that Second Miss Ling was seriously ill, the Emperor had originally canceled the marriage."

"But the young master of the Zhou family came to the palace specifically and said that he was willing to marry Miss Ling Er, and that he didn't mind Miss Ling Er being sick. He was determined to cure Miss Ling Er."

"If he can't be cured, he will never marry."

"The emperor was so moved that he issued an imperial decree granting the marriage."

Jiang Ningwan felt a surge of anger in her heart, and she knew that Zhou Jingxuan must have had ulterior motives in proposing marriage.

Most likely, they saw through their plan and would rather take a gamble.

After seeing off Eunuch Hai, the few of them returned to the room.

Ling Chaowen threw the imperial edict on the table, "You've pretended to be sick like this, and yet you still won't let us go!"

Anger rose between Qin Wenli's brows. "The Zhou family insisted on marrying Jinlan off to blackmail us. They don't care whether Jinlan is sick or not."

"Or rather, Zhou Jingxuan was just a pawn. It doesn't matter who his wife is."

Jiang Ningwan clenched her fists. "Not to mention Zhou Jingxuan's character, the enmity between our two families is already deep. I wonder what kind of torture Jinlan will suffer if she marries him."

Ling Jinlan, standing beside him, had a pale face and eyes as calm as a still pond. He said calmly, "It doesn't matter. I have martial arts skills, and they can't do anything to me."

"Zhou Jingxuan can't beat me."

"Since the Emperor has already issued the imperial decree granting the marriage, there is no other way."

"Don't worry about me. If you anger the emperor, you'll be in big trouble."

She didn't want the tragedy of the Ling family's exile to happen again.

If she implicates everyone, she will be a sinner.

Jiang Ningwan was unwilling to give in. "Let's stick to the plan. Let's send Jinlan out of the city to recuperate first."

"As long as the disease is not cured, this imperial edict is just a piece of paper."

"No one can force Jinlan to marry him."

All we can do now is put it off.

Qin Wenli nodded in agreement, "That's right, let's leave Kyoto first. As long as the illness isn't cured, there's no need to get married. We can slowly figure out a solution later."

"But we can't go back to the Ling family's ancestral home. We need to find a more secluded place."

Afterwards, Jiang Ningwan chose a suitable location - Qushui Town.

It's not far from Kyoto City, but that town is all about Qianqiu Trading Company's business.

It's like the whole town is full of spies.

Can ensure Ling Jinlan's safety.

Everyone agreed, and Jiang Ningwan arranged for people to go to Qushui Town to deploy defenses in advance that day.

The next day, Jiang Ningwan and Ling Chaowen personally escorted Ling Jinlan to Qushui Town.

He was accompanied by more than fifty guards and five maids.

After arriving in the town, Jiang Ningwan bought a house in a good location and settled Ling Jinlan down that same day.

The house has everything you need, nothing is missing.

Jiang Ningwan stayed in the house with Ling Jinlan for a few days.

I also observed the situation in Qushui Town. Everything was safe and there were no suspicious people.

Winter has arrived unknowingly, the weather is getting colder, and it is time for Jiang Ningwan to return to Kyoto.

Before leaving, I bought some charcoal and winter clothes for the winter, trying to be as prepared as possible.

He warned: "You should tell others that you are here to recuperate, so try not to go out. If you need anything, ask the servants to do it."

"If you feel bored, you can ask Ling Chaowen to play chess with you."

Ling Jinlan nodded, "I know, don't worry."

The poison of the rash has gradually subsided, and she cannot continue to be weak and live like a normal person. If she goes out, she will easily be exposed.

She didn't plan to go out either.

Ling Chaowen also said, "Don't worry, I'm here with Jinlan."

"I'll take good care of her."

Jiang Ningwan was ready to leave and patted Ling Jinlan on the shoulder. "Don't worry, my cousin and I will continue to find a solution."

"I will never let you marry Zhou Jingxuan."

Ling Jinlan smiled and nodded, his eyes full of warmth.

Jiang Ningwan rode away from Qushui Town. This time his whereabouts were secret and he was not noticed by the Zhou family.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ningwan felt a little relieved.

At least Jinlan can live here peacefully without being disturbed.

Not long after leaving Qushui Town, it suddenly started to rain lightly.

The rainy days at the beginning of winter, coupled with the cold wind, are freezing cold.

Jiang Ningwan looked up at the sky. There was no place to shelter from the rain nearby. She was thinking about whether to return to Qushui Town.

But at this moment, a carriage appeared from behind.

Stopped not far from her.

The figure driving the car made her pupils tighten.

The other party also took off his hat and said, "Get on the carriage."

Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but tighten her grip on the reins, "Qin Beihuang, why are you here!"

Qin Beihuang said calmly, "Just passing by."

"I'm going to Xiangliu Town to do some business."

Jiang Ningwan frowned in suspicion. Xiangliu Town was indeed next to Qushui Town and could pass by here.

But...is it such a coincidence?

As I was hesitating, the rain got heavier and heavier, and my hair and clothes were soaked.

The bone-chilling cold made Jiang Ningwan clench her teeth.

"Are you so afraid of being with me?" Qin Beihuang's teasing tone revealed a hint of helplessness.

Jiang Ningwan's eyes turned cold, he dismounted and quickly jumped into the carriage to avoid the rain.

"Just think of it as a ride, I'll pay."

Qin Beihuang couldn't help but raise a warm smile on his lips, put on his hat, and drove slowly forward.

"There is dry food in the carriage. You can eat it if you are hungry."

Jiang Ningwan tidied up her wet clothes and glanced at the bundle in the corner. A piece of dry food was exposed, a cold and hard flatbread.

In theory, there are many post stations and inns along the way to Xiangliu Town, so there is no need to prepare dry food and three meals a day.

Either he didn’t have money to stay in an inn, or Qin Beihuang didn’t go to Xiangliu Town.

I haven't heard that Qin Beihuang has any overseas assignments recently. Where will he go?

Just as he was thinking, Qin Beihuang suddenly asked, "Do you know any news about the emperor's uncle?"

Jiang Ningwan had a cold expression and didn't say anything.

"You haven't been to court recently, so you probably don't know the news from Dayan."

"I heard that the one Dayan is going to marry is the eldest princess, Xie Lianyi."

"The Emperor's uncle must not want to marry the princess, so he is still discussing the matter. I'm afraid he won't be able to return to Kyoto this year."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's heart sank.

After Qin Shuangchi entered Dayan, no more handwritten letters from him were sent to her. It was always the subordinates stationed in the north who reported the situation to her.

No one knows as much as Qin Beihuang.

The eldest princess Xie Lianyi?

ripple?

Reflection?

Is it Shen Lanyi who wants to marry?
