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

Qin Huaizhao looked embarrassed, "We are discussing the case, please step aside, Princess."

Lu Qingheng was dissatisfied. "Is there any case that I cannot hear? When I was an official, what..."

"But it's gone now!" Qin Huaizhao interrupted her in a cold tone.

If Jiang Ningwan and Qin Beihuang had not been involved, he would never have told them about the Dali Temple case.

This is the rule.

Lu Qingheng's face turned ugly. These words were like a knife, bloody.

Yes, she no longer holds an official position.

When she was powerful, she never thought that there would be a day when she would be looked down upon like this.

Lu Qingheng pinched his palm fiercely.

Qin Beihuang looked embarrassed and pulled Lu Qingheng off the carriage. "We are discussing business matters. Can you please stop disrupting things?"

Hearing this, Lu Qingheng sneered and asked, "Do you dare to swear to heaven that you have no selfish motives?"

"Is there any official business that you absolutely must discuss with Jiang Ningwan?"

"Don't you just want to get close to her?"

Lu Qingheng was furious and couldn't help but speak out his true feelings.

This made many people in the surrounding carriages stick their heads out to look.

Qin Beihuang felt humiliated and extremely angry, "Stop being unreasonable!"

"The Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple is also in the carriage. We are discussing official business! Since we serve in the same court, it is inevitable that we will have official business contact. Don't be so narrow-minded!"

Lu Qingheng was so angry that he almost cried.

With so many people watching, I felt humiliated.

In front of so many people, Qin Beihuang didn't even give her any face!

She angrily mounted her horse and rode away.

I looked back several times to see if Qin Beihuang had caught up, but he didn't...

Qin Beihuang returned to the carriage and said, "I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

The carriage also slowly set off.

Jiang Ningwan was completely focused on the Fan family case. "How far have you gotten in the investigation? Is there any evidence that the Zhou family is involved?"

Qin Huaizhao shook his head solemnly, "We only found out about Zhou Jingxuan. The Zhou family denies everything and knows nothing about it."

"I originally planned to continue investigating. The Zhou family's private property is indeed unusual, and there might be evidence to prove it."

"But the Empress Dowager passed away, and the Emperor said there was no need to investigate the case any further. Zhou Jingxuan was also dead, so the case was closed."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was extremely shocked, "What!"

"Is this the case closed?"

"There's no punishment for the Zhou family?"

Although Qin Huaizhao was reluctant to admit it, this was the fact, "Yes, there was no punishment."

"I only heard that the emperor summoned Zhou Lin alone, and there was no further news."

Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but clench her fists, feeling angry and completely disappointed.

"As it involves the Queen and the Zhou family, I won't investigate."

"The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people, yet the emperor blindly protects them! If this continues, Daning will perish sooner or later!"

The two people in the carriage were shocked by her words, shocked but also impressed. Not everyone would dare to say such words.

Qin Beihuang was surprised, but also felt a little warm. Jiang Ningwan dared to say these things because she trusted him.

So I don't worry that he will tell others.

Qin Beihuang spoke slowly: "I think the emperor is doing this for the prince."

"The throne will be passed to the crown prince in the future. As long as the crown prince's mother's family does not threaten the Daning Kingdom, the emperor may turn a blind eye."

"If we really investigate further and implicate the Crown Prince, will he be deposed or not?"

Jiang Ningwan snorted coldly, the word "tyrant" was on the tip of her tongue.

He clenched his palms tightly and held back the two words.

Qin Huaizhao's expression was solemn. "The Emperor's thoughts are beyond our comprehension. You all contributed to this case, so I must give you an explanation."

"This case ends here."

His tone was full of regret.

Since he took office as the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, there has never been a case that made him so frustrated. He could have investigated the case, but was forced to close it.

After the three of them finished chatting, Jiang Ningwan returned to Ling Chaowen's carriage to avoid staying too long and causing gossip.

Seeing that Jiang Ningwan looked unhappy, Ling Jinlan held her hand and asked, "Sister, are you still sad about the King of Chu?"

There was something that had been on her mind for a long time.

"no, what happened?"

Jiang Ningwan forced a smile, but in Ling Jinlan's eyes, it looked a little bitter.

Ling Jinlan hesitated to speak.

Seeing that she had something to say, Jiang Ningwan patted her hands and said, "Just say it if you have something to say. There's nothing to worry about between us sisters."

Ling Jinlan took out a box from his sleeve.

Put it in front of her.

"What is this?" Jiang Ningwan picked up the brocade box and opened it.

There are two things in it.

A jade ring and a jade token.

She didn't recognize the jade ring, but she did recognize the jade token! This was the military token of the King of Chu in the North, which could command hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in the North!

"How did this get here?"

Jiang Ningwan was extremely shocked and even suspected that it was a counterfeit.

But Ling Jinlan said: "The King of Chu gave it to me."

"I assassinated the King of Chu before, and that was when we made a deal."

"He said he was dying and told me there was no need to bother trying to kill him. He would die on his own, and after he died, all his property would be yours."

"He gave me this at that time, and told me to give it to you if he died."

"Although the northern garrison does not only recognize the Jade Order, you are the Princess of Chu. If you hold the Jade Order, they will obey you."

"And that jade ring is a token of trust from the owner of the Dayan Yunhe Trading Company. Seeing it is like seeing the owner."

"Yunhe Trading Company is doing very well in Dayan. Caravans have been coming into the Northland to sell goods for a long time. He said that if you don't want to stay in Daning, you can also go to Dayan to do business."

After hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was so shocked that she was speechless.

Looking at the two heavy tokens in my hands, my eyes couldn't help but tear up.

"Yunhe Trading Company is actually his."

In the previous life, Qianqiu Trading Company had done business with Yunhe Trading Company for development. In Dayan, Yunhe Trading Company could be regarded as a big trading company, not inferior to Qianqiu Trading Company.

"I was surprised at the time, too."

"This should be the entire fortune of the King of Chu."

"I didn't expect he would give it to me for safekeeping."

"It was this thing that made me give up the idea of ​​assassinating him. He was able to explain his funeral arrangements, which means he definitely won't live long."

After saying that, Ling Jinlan suddenly realized that something was wrong and quickly explained: "That was before!"

"Later, I saw him die for his sister. I thought he was pretty good. I didn't want him to die."

But it's no use hoping, the King of Chu is already dead.

Now she just hopes her sister won't be so sad.

Jiang Ningwan's eyes were red, and a smile appeared on her lips, "He's not dead."

"He won't die!"

Ling Jinlan thought that her sister was just comforting her, so she didn't say anything and just nodded.

Jiang Ningwan put away the brocade box, feeling indescribable. Perhaps before Qin Shuangchi stood up, he had indeed arranged his funeral affairs.

But now his legs have healed, and having been given a new life, he will definitely try his best to live on.

They will definitely meet again!
