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

Ling Jinlan walked all the way to the stream. There was still ice on the edge of the stream. The snow covering the woods in the distance was gradually melting, and green was peeking out.

The sunlight shines on the snow, giving off a pure luster.

She looked up at the sky, quietly feeling the breath of winter snow and warm sunshine. Her fair skin was as clear as ice and snow in the sunlight, and she was so beautiful that she looked like a fairy walking out of the ice and snow.

Qin Huaizhao, who was not far away, was a little dazed for a moment.

Suddenly a carriage passed by slowly.

In the carriage, Fan Shan was very enthusiastic, "Boss Ye, the journey isn't far. Why don't we stop and go straight to Qianyang City?"

"Whatever you like, our host can satisfy you."

"The singing, dancing, and banquet are all ready, just waiting for Mr. Ye to arrive."

The middle-aged man with a wealthy face drank his tea nonchalantly and did not listen.

Suddenly, a breeze blew up the curtain, and a white figure by the stream came into view.

He paused, "Stop the car."

The carriage stopped.

Boss Ye looked at the figure by the stream with great interest. He saw her squatting down, and her slender jade fingers brushed across the gurgling water, which was clearer than snow and fascinating.

"Clear water lotus, this Qianyang City is indeed worthy of its reputation!"

Seeing Boss Ye's obsessed look, Fan Shan hurried forward to take a look, and then he saw the girl in white by the stream.

"Boss Ye likes it?"

Boss Ye looked at the figure and smiled obsessively, "So what if I like it? Can your Fan family master even satisfy this?"

Fan Shan smiled meaningfully, "The head of the family said that as long as Boss Ye likes something, we can satisfy him!"

Boss Ye smiled, his attitude no longer as cold as before, "If Patriarch Fan is so sincere, then business will be easy!"

Hearing this, Fan Shan felt much more at ease.

As long as the business is successful, everything is fine!

"Shall we continue on our journey?"

Boss Ye looked at the figure by the stream reluctantly and said, "Let's go."

As the carriage slowly moved forward, Fan Shan also looked at the woman by the stream a few more times and memorized her appearance.

After the carriage left, Ling Chaowen walked out of the inn and stared at Qin Huaizhao in confusion.

Seeing his strange look, I patted him and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"You kid, you don't have any improper thoughts about Jinlan, do you?"

Qin Huaizhao looked away in panic, "I was just afraid she would fall into the water. The ground is icy and very slippery."

"Isn't your sister seriously ill? She's still playing in the stream, and you, as her brother, don't care?"

Hearing this, Ling Chaowen was slightly startled, "Her illness is resistant to cold but not heat!"

"The cold weather has actually helped the rash disappear a little!"

Anyway, Qin Huaizhao doesn't know any medical skills, so no one should suspect my making up a few words.

"Really?" Qin Huaizhao frowned slightly.

A moment later, Ling Jinlan returned to the inn, "A-choo——"

"What's wrong, Jinlan?" Ling Chaowen asked with concern.

"I felt cold because of the wind." Ling Jinlan rubbed his numb hands and exhaled.

"It's getting late, shouldn't we set off?"

Ling Chaowen looked around, "Where's Qin Huai Zhao? He was watching us so closely before, why is he gone now?"

Just then, Qin Huaizhao came over from the kitchen and put a hand warmer in Ling Jinlan's hand.

The slightly hot heater was placed in her palm. Ling Jinlan was slightly startled, and at that moment it seemed as if her heart was also burned.

She looked up at Qin Huaizhao, "For me?"

Qin Huaizhao didn't meet her eyes and walked out. "If you fall ill on the way, it will delay your journey."

"I'll drive."

Ling Jinlan was stunned, staring at the figure in a daze.

Ling Chaowen frowned, "Why is this guy so attentive?"

"Don't tell me they have any plans for us!"

Ling Jinlan lowered his head to look at the hand warmer, a barely perceptible smile rising from his lips.

"Let's go, it's time to hurry."

……

It’s only a day’s journey to Qianyang City.

They decided not to stop to rest for the time being and headed straight to Qianyang City.

But in the afternoon, the road ahead was suddenly blocked by several fallen tree trunks, and the carriage could not pass.

Qin Huaizhao jumped off the carriage to check it out. The tree trunk was too heavy and required several people to move it.

"How come there's a tree trunk lying across the road?"

Ling Chaowen also jumped off the carriage to help.

The subordinates following behind also came forward.

Seeing that they would be busy for a while, Ling Jinlan lifted the curtain and looked out to see the scenery.

But I accidentally caught a glimpse of a pink dress flashing in the woods, as if it was dragged into the bushes.

Ling Jinlan was startled and looked for a while but saw no movement.

Suspicious, she got out of the carriage.

"Brother, I'll go over and take a look."

"Okay." Ling Chaowen rolled up his sleeves and answered casually.

Qin Huaizhao couldn't help but remind him: "Don't go too far, we will move away soon."

Ling Jinlan nodded.

Slowly walked towards the place where the pink figure appeared.

Sure enough, a faint cry for help came from the front.

"Help...let me go...let me go!"

The woman's mouth was obviously covered by someone, so her voice was not loud.

There were also sounds of struggling and dragging.

Ling Jinlan's face changed and he immediately chased in the direction of the sound.

Unconsciously, he went deeper into the woods.

Looking past the tangled bushes, I saw several men bullying a woman in pink.

Ling Jinlan was instantly enraged and was about to attack.

However, a flying needle attacked from the dark, causing her arm to hurt, her vision to blur, and her body to stagger.

The pink-dressed woman in front of her slowly stood up from the ground, put on her clothes, and looked at her leisurely, "Young girls are so easy to deceive."

Realizing it was a trap, Ling Jinlan was furious, "You..."

My eyelids grew heavier and my vision blurred.

Ling Jinlan struggled to hold on to the last bit of consciousness and fled out of the woods.

A dark shadow pounced on him from behind.

At that moment she knew she couldn't escape.

He quickly cut open the sachet around his waist.

Sprinkle the powder.

The hand warmer also fell to the ground.

The man knocked her unconscious with a slap and immediately put her in a sack and carried her away.

"That went really well! Let's go and report back!"

The group evacuated quickly.

On the road outside the woods, Ling Chaowen was still struggling to move the tree trunk, concentrating entirely on exerting his strength.

Qin Huaizhao was busy while looking into the woods.

Ling Jinlan's figure was nowhere to be seen. He frowned and felt uneasy. "Your sister is missing, why don't you go check on her?"

Ling Chaowen was not worried at all, "It's okay, she won't go far."

"Move quickly, so we can get on with our journey."

He knew Jinlan's abilities better than anyone else, and he would worry about no one else but Jinlan.

If a bad guy meets her, he will be the one who suffers.

Qin Huaizhao felt uneasy, so he put down the trunk and went to check, and found traces of the trunk being dragged in the woods.

I suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Someone deliberately moved this tree trunk to block the road!"

Ling Chaowen approached with confusion, "Stop who? Stop us?"

"Why are you stopping us? We didn't see any bandits or anything."

Qin Huaizhao looked into the depths of the woods, and his heart suddenly sank.

"Ling Jinlan!"
