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

Lu Qingheng's face changed, and he argued, "How can the General's Mansion be searched at will? If it was really a leaf that was stepped on from the General's Mansion, how could it still be on the sole of its shoe after walking so far?"

"What's your intention in leading everyone to search the General's Mansion? Are you planning to frame me?"

The way he threw dirty water first seemed a bit impatient.

Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but sneer, "General Lu, that's hilarious! If my master hadn't happened to be here, I wouldn't have survived. Who would risk their own life to frame me?"

Qin Shuangchi sat in his wheelchair and headed towards the gate. "It was my proposal to search the General's Mansion, and no one can refuse."

"As long as we can find the Sanguisorba officinalis, we can find out where it came from and who got it, and no one will be wrongly accused."

"Master Pei, since we don't have time to transfer people from my palace, I'll transfer some from you."

Wu Bohou quickly followed, "Of course, that's no problem."

Pei Xunzhi took Jiang Ningwan's arm and followed them to the general's mansion.

Many people were curious and followed to watch the fun.

Qin gradually noticed that Lu Qingheng looked nervous, and doubts began to grow in his heart, "Sister-in-law, what are you afraid of? Could it be..."

"Don't ask anymore, just go find your brother and come back! Quick!"

Qin Jianjian's face turned pale and he ran away in panic.

Jiang Ningwan and Pei Xunzhi were sitting in the carriage when they heard the sound of horse hooves outside. They lifted the curtain and took a look, only to see Lu Qingheng riding a horse in the other direction.

She had calculated the time. Even if Lu Qingheng returned to the general's residence first, Nanny Xu would lock the door and the courtyard door, and she would not be able to get in and deal with the Sanguisorba officinalis so quickly.

Now that the King of Chu was here, she was not panicked at all.

Since the King of Chu is in charge of this matter, he will definitely investigate it thoroughly.

After all, after his leg was broken, he had a very leisurely life, and because of idleness he became ill and started to like to meddle in other people's affairs.

But as they were walking, people suddenly started fighting on the road, causing chaos and blocking the road.

Wu Bohou immediately sent people to separate the two fighting people and disperse the crowd, which also delayed some time.

Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After rushing for a long time, we finally arrived at the general's mansion.

However, as soon as he stepped through the gate, he saw Princess Yi guarding the courtyard.

Jiang Ningwan's heart sank, thinking that Lu Qingheng must have arrived at the general's mansion first.

"Princess Yi, we have been ordered to search the general's mansion and search for the Sanguisorba officinalis. I hope you will cooperate." Marquis Wu Bo stated his purpose.

Princess Yi's face turned pale. "Search the General's Mansion? Is there an imperial decree?"

"I am a member of the royal family after all. Without an imperial decree, no one can search the General's Mansion!"

Qin Shuangchi's voice was cold and gloomy: "This king wants to search, and he does not need an imperial decree."

"King Chu, according to seniority, you should call me Fourth Sister-in-law! Don't take advantage of your young age and the favor of the Supreme Emperor to disrespect your elders! If you must search today, then step over me!" Princess Yi was firm in her attitude and refused to give in.

Princess Yi rarely puts on airs, and it seems she is determined to protect Lu Qingheng today.

That’s right, the only one they can rely on now is the Lu family.

Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but remind him, "Mother, if we find out that the Sanguisorba officinalis is in our house, you will be guilty of covering it up."

"You are a member of the royal family now, but if you are convicted of a crime, that may not be the case."

Princess Yi's eyes were momentarily flustered, but she quickly regained her composure and angrily rebuked, "Last time, it was you who tarnished the reputation of Beihuang in front of the King of Chu. Now you've summoned the King of Chu to search the General's Mansion. Could it be that you two have been secretly colluding for a long time?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed.

Pei Xunzhi immediately stepped forward and said, "This is ridiculous! How can you slander your daughter-in-law like this? And that's His Majesty the Prince of Chu!"

"Today's incident occurred at the Wu Bohou Mansion. It was the Emperor's order to investigate the source of the blood-drying grass! How dare you disobey his order!"

Princess Yi snorted coldly, "I only obey the emperor's orders!"

Although her heart was trembling, she could not give in at this moment.

She also asked Lu Qingheng to renovate the Xuanwei General's Mansion.

Qin Shuangchi said quietly: "It's okay, just wait and see."

Jiang Ningwan was shocked when she heard this.

Consumed?

If the Sanguisorba officinalis is disposed of, the evidence will be lost.

Just as I was worrying, two figures suddenly appeared behind the garden.

Xiao Lan was seen holding a pot of grass in one hand and grabbing Lu Qingheng's arm with the other, pulling him over.

"Let me go!" Lu Qingheng's face looked extremely ugly. How could he be so rude to her as a female general!

Seeing this scene, Jiang Ningwan's eyes lit up.

Princess Yi's expression suddenly changed. She immediately stepped forward, pushing Xiao Lan away and protecting Lu Qingheng. "How can this be absurd? How dare a foreign man sneak into our general's mansion and lay hands on my daughter-in-law!"

"Come here, escort him to the authorities for severe punishment!"

Xiao Lan ignored him and walked straight forward, presenting the pot of grass in his hand.

"I followed General Lu all the way and discovered that after she returned to the General's Mansion, she climbed over the wall into a courtyard, kicked down the door, took out the pot of grass from under the bed, and tried to slip out the back door, but I caught her red-handed."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

It turned out that the King of Chu had already made arrangements.

Wu Bohou took the pot of grass and handed it to Divine Doctor Qiu, "Divine Doctor Qiu, look, is this Blood-Clearing Grass?"

Divine Doctor Qiu took one look and said, "Yes, this is the Sanguisorba officinalis."

"Was this found in Jiang Ningwan's room?"

Doctor Qiu's eyes were filled with anger.

Xiao Lan took out a hairpin from his bosom and said, "I didn't know whose room that was, so I just took a hairpin from the dressing table."

Jiang Ningwan quickly reached out and took it, "It's mine!"

Pei Xunzhi was extremely shocked and looked at Lu Qingheng in disbelief. "You went to Jiang Ningwan's room to find the snake's blood grass, hoping to destroy the evidence?"

"It's you who wants to harm Jiang Ningwan!"

Pei Xunzhi was devastated. She never thought that the person who almost became her sworn sister would use such vicious means to kill someone.

Lu Qingheng flatly denied it: "I didn't, the blood-jelly grass is not mine. I did go to the Pillow Moon Pavilion to check, but he took the blood-jelly grass!"

Pointing at Xiao Lan, Lu Qingheng demanded, "Your Highness, Prince Chu, why did you order your men to frame our General's Mansion? Could it be that you and Jiang Ningwan really have something to hide?"

Seeing that the situation was out of control, he actually threw dirty water on her. Jiang Ningwan sneered, they really were a very well-matched family.

Qin Shuangchi said nonchalantly: "This king disdains to use such despicable means."

Jiang Ningwan's heart skipped a beat. He should clarify their relationship.

Afraid that things might go wrong, she quickly said, "The blood-draining grass appeared under my bed, and the person who often comes in and out of my room is the most suspicious."

"Call my two maids and interrogate them, and you'll find out."

Soon, Lichun and Ying'er came together.

When Ying'er saw the pot of Sanguisorba officinalis, she began to tremble uncontrollably.

Jiang Ningwan asked, "Ying'er, have you ever seen this?"

"This is a forbidden item from the Daning Kingdom. If it's related to you, the blame is not something you can bear. If you tell the truth about what you know, you may be given a lighter punishment."

Ying'er knelt on the ground with a plop, "Your servant..."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Lu Qingheng scolded her harshly: "Ying'er, think carefully before answering!"

Seeing this scene, everyone realized that something was wrong and the truth was about to be revealed.

Jiang Ningwan soothed her, "Ying'er, don't be afraid. Answer me, have you ever seen this thing?"

Just then Qin Beihuang hurried back.

As I stepped into the courtyard, Ying'er's crying voice rang out—

"Mrs. Lu asked me to put this pot of grass under Madam's bed!"
