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

Several people's expressions changed.

Jiang Ningwan and his men immediately stepped forward to apprehend the men, then grabbed one man by the shoulder and demanded in a stern voice, "Where's Zhou Jingxuan?"

The other party pointed to the distance in pain and said, "That way."

Jiang Ningwan's eyebrows jumped. Isn't that Jinlan's room?

The guards in the house were all knocked unconscious, and everything was so quiet that she felt very uneasy.

The man who knocked his men unconscious immediately ran towards Ling Jinlan's room.

However, Ling Jinlan in the room became nervous when he heard the noise, and wrapped the body in bedding and stuffed it under the bed.

The next moment, the door was slammed open.

Ling Jinlan's breath was choked.

When he turned around and saw Jiang Ningwan, he was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief.

But then he became nervous again.

"Sister, why are you here?"

Jiang Ningwan hurried into the room, grabbed Ling Jinlan's shoulders and looked him up and down, "Are you okay?"

"Zhou Jingxuan didn't do anything to you, right?"

Ling Jinlan shook his head guiltily.

After making sure Ling Jinlan was alright, Jiang Ningwan glanced around the room suspiciously, "Where's Zhou Jingxuan?"

A cold wind blew into the room, bringing with it a faint smell of blood.

Ling Jinlan knew that she couldn't hide it from her, and clutched her sleeves nervously, "He..."

Seeing her strange expression, Jiang Ningwan pushed her away and walked straight to the bed, where the smell of blood was even stronger.

She frowned and squatted down to look under the bed.

"Sister...I..." Ling Jinlan stood there at a loss, not knowing how to explain.

She didn't expect her sister to come so soon.

Jiang Ningwan quickly said, "Go and close the door!"

Ling Jinlan came to his senses and immediately ran to close the door.

Jiang Ningwan dragged the person out from under the bed, opened the quilt and saw that the person was already dead.

She immediately checked the body to see if there was anything belonging to Ling Jinlan left.

She checked her sleeves and nails to make sure nothing was left, then she immediately got up and walked out of the room.

Several men not far away were escorting Zhou Jingxuan's followers. Jiang Ningwan went to find a few sacks and threw them over.

He whispered, "Knock him out first, put him in a sack and take him to the forest to kill him."

The other party nodded in response, "Yes!"

Then Jiang Ningwan entered the room and put Zhou Jingxuan's body into a sack.

"Just wait in the room for your brother to come back. I'll go deal with the body first!"

"Okay." Ling Jinlan nodded obediently.

Then Jiang Ningwan carried the body and took a few people to move it onto the carriage through the back door. The group immediately drove away from Qushui Town.

They specifically chose a desolate place, took away the corpse's outer clothes and all its money, and threw it under a remote cliff. They also threw down several people who were knocked unconscious to silence them.

The subordinate raised a bag of money in his hand and asked, "What should we do with these?"

"Use the small change. Throw any identifying items into the river and burn the clothes."

If Zhou Jingxuan’s body is ever discovered, it can be disguised as a robbery and then murdered to silence him.

But she hoped that day would never come.

After dealing with the corpse, Jiang Ningwan rushed back to the house. At this time, Ling Chaowen had already returned.

Upon learning that Ling Jinlan had killed Zhou Jingxuan, the two siblings were shocked and uneasy. They waited anxiously in the room for Jiang Ningwan to come back.

"Ning Wan, has it been dealt with?" Ling Chaowen quickly stood up.

Jiang Ningwan nodded. "It's been dealt with. Zhou Jingxuan is missing, and the Zhou family will definitely investigate. Many people should know that Zhou Jingxuan is here, so they will definitely come to investigate!"

"We need to keep our story straight. Zhou Jingxuan came to see Jinlan, but Jinlan's illness was seriously contagious, so he left shortly after."

"As for where he went, I don't know!"

The two nodded.

Ling Chaowen asked anxiously, "Should we move out quickly?"

"If you don't move, it would be like trying to cover up one's own faults. And if you continue to pretend that Jinlan is sick, she can't get better too quickly."

"Everything continues as usual, as if nothing happened."

The two nodded seriously, feeling a lot more at ease with Jiang Ningwan around.

Ling Jinlan hesitated to speak.

Seeing that she was hesitating, Jiang Ningwan said, "Just say whatever you want to say."

Ling Jinlan lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry for causing trouble to you, sister."

Jiang Ningwan was slightly startled.

I didn't expect she wanted to say this.

Jiang Ningwan held her shoulders and said seriously, "I don't blame you for causing trouble."

"You killed Zhou Jingxuan, it must have been to protect yourself. I'm glad you have the ability to kill him, so you didn't get bullied."

"You don't have to blame yourself. It was Zhou Jingxuan who deserved to die!"

Hearing this, the dark clouds in Ling Jinlan's heart immediately dissipated and he smiled.

"Remember to clean up the traces in the room. I have to leave first."

Patting Ling Jinlan on the shoulder, Jiang Ningwan left immediately.

Before leaving Qushui Town, she went to the rice shop.

This is the only way to enter the town.

Jiang Ningwan showed the token to the shopkeeper.

The other party was slightly startled and quickly saluted: "Miss."

Jiang Ningwan asked, "How many people did Zhou Jingxuan bring with him when he arrived in Qushui Town today?"

The shopkeeper thought carefully and replied, "Including himself, there are eight people in total."

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome, Miss!"

The number of corpses matched, so Jiang Ningwan felt relieved that no one had escaped.

……

Everyone acted as if nothing had happened and continued to live their lives as normal.

As winter approached, the weather became increasingly cold, and Jiang Ningwan stayed in Ling Wei's army almost every day.

That day, Ren Tiankuo sent a broken red arrow feather and said, "General, there's movement in the place you told me to keep an eye on."

Jiang Ningwan took it and looked at it. The color of the arrow feather was correct.

I was suddenly delighted, as the wait had finally come.

"What else was found?"

Ren Tiankuo unfolded the map on the table and pointed to a route on it. "According to my research, they went from Qianyang City along the river all the way to Yundu Mountain."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's eyes lit up. "Take the Xiao sisters and Chen Yuzhu with you, and select another fifty people. Get ready and follow me to Yundu Mountain."

"Yes!"

Jiang Ningwan was nervous and expectant.

After keeping an eye on Yundu Mountain for so long, there is finally some news.

I failed to save them in my previous life, I hope I can this time!

But just as Jiang Ningwan was about to leave, someone from Huichun Hall suddenly arrived with a message, "Miss, the Zhou family has gone to Qushui Town."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's heart tightened. Did the Zhou family find out about it so quickly?

After thinking it over, Jiang Ningwan had no choice but to put the matter of Yundu Mountain aside and return to Kyoto City first.

She wanted to find Qin Wenli, but unexpectedly, Qin Wenli was about to look for her, and the two met on the street.

"Hurry up and get in the carriage, and talk slowly."

Jiang Ningwan quickly got on the carriage.

"Did the Zhou family go to Qushui Town? But what did they find?" Jiang Ningwan asked curiously.

Qin Wenli frowned, his expression serious. "Zhou Jingxuan has been missing for a few days. Does this have anything to do with you? Do you know anything about it?"

Jiang Ningwan was stunned for a moment, "Zhou Jingxuan is missing? How would I know?"

The killing of Zhou Jingxuan was not told to Qin Wenli, as one did not want to implicate him.

Qin Wenli looked at her seriously with a serious expression, "I know everything, don't hide it from me!"
