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

Prince Yi's Mansion.

Late at night, Qin Beihuang returned from outside, feeling depressed and melancholy.

Lu Qingheng waited until the food had gotten cold. Just as he was about to ask someone to heat it up again, he suddenly saw Qin Beihuang walk into the yard.

"You're finally back. What took you so long to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Qin Beihuang was in a bad mood. He walked forward and sat down. He picked up his chopsticks and put them down again, sighing, "I don't have much of an appetite. I won't eat anymore."

"You don't have to wait for me to come back next time."

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Lu Qingheng guessed, "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince angry?"

"Don't worry, it's not your fault if the things are lost. You have to go to the black market to settle the score."

"As soon as the imperial decree came down granting the Zhou family and Ling Jinlan their marriage, the Ling brothers and sisters disappeared somewhere, claiming they were recuperating. It's unclear if they'll be back."

"Your Highness is anxious and angry. Things here have been robbed by the black market again. It's not surprising that he's angry. It's not directed at you alone. Don't worry."

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in Qin Beihuang's eyes, which were as calm as dead water.

"The Ling brothers and sisters are hiding?"

Lu Qingheng nodded. "Yes, during those few days, the Lu family sent carriages out of the city every day, disrupting our sight. We had been keeping a close eye on them, but we lost them again."

“I don’t know where they went.”

"If Ling Chaowen doesn't want the title of Duke and wants to take his sister away from the marriage, then this imperial decree granting the marriage is a useless piece of paper."

Lu Qingheng was also troubled by this.

Qin Beihuang suddenly thought of the day he met Jiang Ningwan...

Suddenly I understood something.

Muttered: "No wonder she appeared there alone..."

He had no official business and no entourage, and it didn't seem like he was out for fun. He never understood why Jiang Ningwan appeared in such a remote place.

Lu Qingheng looked up at him sharply and clenched his palms, "Who are you talking about?"

Qin Beihuang came back to his senses and shook his head. "It's okay, let's eat."

As he said that, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Lu Qingheng frowned in confusion. Didn’t he say he had no appetite?

how?

Suddenly thinking of Jiang Ningwan, I feel hungry again?

Thinking of this, Lu Qingheng felt a surge of anger in his heart and stood up unhappily, "I've eaten."

After saying that, he left the room.

Qin Beihuang was a little absent-minded and didn't notice that anything was wrong with Lu Qingheng.

After walking out of the room, the cold wind gradually calmed the anger in Lu Qingheng's heart.

According to Qin Beihuang, he had seen Jiang Ningwan, and the area where Jiang Ningwan appeared should be where the Ling brothers and sisters were hiding.

The last time Qin Beihuang left the city was to the black market.

Knowing the route he took back, and checking the places he passed along the way, there must be clues!

Two days later, Yin Huan came to report: "Miss, I found out that the Ling brothers and sisters are in Qushui Town."

Lu Qingheng raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Go tell Zhou Jingxuan the news and let him handle it himself."

"After all, she is his future daughter-in-law."

……

The cold wind picked up the last dead leaf on the treetop, and it surged in the air.

Jiang Ningwan stood in front of the window, looking at the dead leaf, feeling worried.

In his hand was a letter he had just received, still written by his subordinates in the north.

The letter read: The prince may not be able to return home this year, and his heart is with the princess. He hopes the princess takes care of herself and stays safe.

Just as Qin Beihuang said, Qin Shuangchi will not be able to come back this year.

Why did the marriage negotiation take so long?

Or did you run into some trouble in Dayan?

Just as she was worried, she suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside.

Li Chun rushed into the room in a panic, "Princess, someone from Huichun Hall said that Zhou Jingxuan appeared in Qushui Town."

Jiang Ningwan's heart suddenly tightened.

"How did he find Qushui Town so quickly?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Jiang Ningwan thought of someone.

"It must be Qin Beihuang!"

She grabbed her cloak angrily, put it on, and went out immediately.

"I'm going to Qushui Town."

Jiang Ningwan took a few people with him and immediately rode out of the city to Qushui Town.

……

Qushui Town.

In front of the mansion.

Zhou Jingxuan was blocking the place with a group of people, making a lot of noise and almost getting into a fight with the guards in the house.

"I'm here to take my wife home, it's only natural! If you stop me again, don't blame me for being rude!" Zhou Jingxuan said in a fierce tone.

Many people gathered around to watch the excitement and talk about it.

Ling Chaowen hid behind the door and didn't dare to show up. If he showed up, it would confirm that Jin Lan lived here.

I don’t know how Zhou Jingxuan found this place.

Just then, people from the government arrived.

"What are you arguing about! What are you doing?" The officer looked at Zhou Jingxuan with dissatisfaction.

Zhou Jingxuan pointed at the house and said, "My wife ran away from her marriage and hid here. I'm here to take her back!"

The officer looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What makes you say that the person living here is your wife?"

Zhou Jingxuan immediately took out the imperial edict and said, "Look!"

"The Imperial Decree of Marriage!"

"The person living here is my wife Ling Jinlan! She is already a member of my Zhou family, why can't you let me in!"

When the official saw the imperial edict granting the marriage, his expression suddenly changed and his attitude immediately became much more polite, "I see!"

"Then we won't bother you."

After saying that, he waved his hand to disperse the onlookers, "Go away!"

"Everyone disperse, hurry up!"

Soon the crowd dispersed.

The officer asked the guard at the door, "Ask your master to come out and confirm whether this is his fiancé."

"If that's the case, let them in and don't make such a big noise at the door!"

The guards were helpless as they could not get into conflict with the government officials.

After a long stalemate, Ling Chaowen finally walked out.

As soon as the door opened and Ling Chaowen appeared, Zhou Jingxuan's eyes lit up. He had found the right place! They lived here!

Now let's see where they can run.

"Why is it a man? Do you know him?" The officer looked at the two of them in confusion.

Ling Chaowen took out the badge from his arms.

As soon as the word "Duke Ling" flashed, the official's face suddenly changed and he saluted hastily, "It turns out to be Duke Ling. Sorry to disturb His Excellency!"

"Okay, go back now."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The officers quickly withdrew.

Zhou Jingxuan looked into the house, "Where's Jinlan? I want to go in and see her!"

Just as he was about to go in, he was pushed back by Ling Chaowen.

"My sister is recovering from an illness! It's contagious!"

Zhou Jingxuan didn't believe it at all. If he was really sick, he wouldn't have left Kyoto City. He must have been pretending to be sick for fear of being exposed and hiding here.

"It's because she's sick that I want to go see her!"

"If you don't let me in, I won't leave here! Buy a house across the street and I'll live there. I'll see Jinlan sooner or later anyway!"

Ling Chaowen was furious and pointed at him angrily, "You are shameless!"

At this moment, Ling Jinlan's voice came from the yard: "Brother, let him in."

You have to face it sooner or later.

Before Ling Chaowen could make way, Zhou Jingxuan immediately stepped forward and pushed Ling Chaowen aside, "Madam, please let me in. Big brother, please make way!"

Ling Chaowen shouted angrily, "Who is your wife? If you keep yelling at me, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
