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

When the onlookers heard that it was the Lu family, they immediately exploded and started talking about it.

"No wonder my sister dared to poison her mother-in-law. It's such a treason. It turns out my brother is just like that. If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked."

Everyone pointed fingers and criticized the Lu family as well.

Lu Lingsong was furious.

Jiang Ningwan smiled coldly, "The Lu family's reputation has been ruined by you and your sister."

"If I were your father, I would be so angry that I would come back to life."

Lu Lingsong gritted his teeth, his scarlet eyes looking murderous, "Do you dare to swear?"

"You and Qin Beihuang are not rekindling the relationship!"

If it was any other oath, Jiang Ningwan would naturally not be able to swear it.

But just this, Jiang Ningwan sneered: "Why should I be afraid of this?"

"If I swear, can you kneel down and apologize to me?"

Hearing Jiang Ningwan's provocative tone, Lu Lingsong clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Okay!"

"Poisonous oath!"

Jiang Ningwan raised the corners of her lips in satisfaction and immediately raised three fingers, ready to swear.

But at this moment, Qin Beihuang suddenly appeared and immediately ran over to block the two of them, "General Lu, are you crazy?"

"I already told you this has nothing to do with Jiang Ningwan!"

He heard their conversation and for some reason felt extremely confused and desperate to stop Jiang Ningwan from swearing.

"You still say you have nothing to do with each other!" Lu Lingsong became even angrier.

With so many people watching, Jiang Ningwan had no idea why Qin Beihuang showed up.

But since you’re here, that’s perfect!

She pushed Qin Beihuang away and said, "This is a bet between me and General Lu."

"General Lu, listen carefully!"

"I, Jiang Ningwan, swear to heaven that I have long since given up on Qin Beihuang and have severed all ties with him. I have never interfered with the relationship between Qin Beihuang and Lu Qingheng. There is no possibility for us to be together again in this life!"

"I have long been the Princess of Chu. Now, and in the future, the Prince of Chu is the only one in my heart! Never apart, be it life or death!"

"If I tell even a single lie, I will be deserted by everyone and left without a burial place!"

As soon as this resounding oath was uttered, the surroundings fell into silence.

Lu Lingsong was silent.

Qin Beihuang was shocked.

He pinched his palm hard, feeling unwilling.

Does this mean that there is no chance for him and Jiang Ningwan anymore...

Jiang Ningwan's eyes fell on Lu Lingsong, and she raised her eyebrows and said, "I have sworn the oath. What other oath do you want to hear? I can satisfy you."

She is open and honest and has a clear conscience.

Lu Lingsong remained silent. It was incredible that Jiang Ningwan could make such a cruel oath so calmly.

"General Lu, are you speaking?"

"If you are satisfied with this oath, can you kneel down and apologize?"

Lu Lingsong was speechless and looked grim.

After a long silence, he sneered, "Even if you don't have any personal feelings for each other, you are working together to harm my sister!"

"I will settle this account with you sooner or later!"

After saying that, Lu Lingsong jumped on the horse.

Jiang Ningwan sneered, "You're untrustworthy and act like a villain. You're exactly like your sister."

Lu Lingsong's face turned green.

He was so angry that he rode away on his horse.

Seeing Lu Lingsong leaving with his men, Jiang Ningwan turned around and went back home, but was suddenly grabbed by the arm.

"Ning Wan!"

Jiang Ningwan looked back, frowned and pulled his arm away.

"Don't be so affectionate, we're not that familiar."

"The Lu family is now like a mad dog biting madly, can't you just avoid suspicion?"

"Don't give me any more trouble."

Although she had a clear conscience, she was close to Qin Beihuang and rumors spread. At most, Qin Beihuang would get a reputation as a playboy, but she would be scolded.

She didn't want to encounter troubles like today again.

Qin Beihuang looked a little guilty, "I'm sorry."

"I'm the one who caused you trouble."

"You haven't been in a good mood lately. I know a place with beautiful scenery. Are you interested in going there with me?"

Jiang Ningwan turned away indifferently, "Not interested."

Although he knew he might be rejected, Qin Beihuang's heart still ached when he heard the cold tone.

Lu Lingsong went to the Prince of Chu's mansion with great fanfare to interrogate him, and the news spread quickly.

Jiang Ningwan entered the palace in the evening.

Request to see the emperor.

She hadn't been here since the Empress Dowager passed away, and this time she waited outside the imperial study for more than an hour.

The emperor was willing to see her.

"I've heard it all. Lu Qingheng was divorced, and Lu Lingsong is looking for trouble with you." The emperor flipped through the memorials with an indifferent tone.

"You asked to see me, do you want me to make the decision for you?"

Jiang Ningwan said slowly: "No."

"I beg Your Majesty to allow me to go to the north to find the King of Chu."

"Whether he's dead or alive, I want to find him."

As soon as she said this, the emperor put down the memorial in his hand in shock and looked at her in surprise.

"You're going to the North?"

Jiang Ningwan's expression was calm, and her tone was firm: "I will never leave you, whether you live or die. This is my oath."

"I beg Your Majesty to grant my permission!"

The emperor was shocked and fell silent.

It was him who underestimated Jiang Ningwan.

Her feelings for the King of Chu were so firm.

"Have you thought it through? Going to the North might not yield any results."

Jiang Ningwan said without hesitation, "I've made up my mind. If I can't find the King of Chu, I won't come back."

"Where he died, there I shall be buried."

This determination and attitude of sticking together through life and death surprised the emperor, who couldn't help but sigh that the Ling family members were indeed so strong-willed.

Sixteen is so lucky to have such a devoted person who will follow him through life and death.

The emperor's eyes were complex.

After a moment's silence, he slowly said, "I agree. You can go."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I'll take my leave!"

Jiang Ningwan returned to the Prince of Chu's Mansion in high spirits. She took her packed luggage and got on the carriage from the back door.

Lichun came to see her off, tears in her eyes and worry on her face. She didn't know when she would be able to come back.

"Take care on your journey, Princess."

Jiang Ningwan raised the corners of her lips slightly, "You take good care of the house. I will definitely bring the prince back before summer!"

Lichun nodded and wiped away her tears.

The carriage set off and soon disappeared from sight.

It was already night, and the carriage left the city in the darkness.

After leaving the city, in front of a pavilion in the suburbs, more than a hundred personal guards had been waiting there on horseback for a long time.

"General!"

Jiang Ningwan leaned out to take a look, and raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Let's go!"

"Yes!"

The team immediately followed the carriage and set off towards the north.

The gold mine is also in the north, and the main purpose of this trip is to find the gold mine.

It just so happened that Lu Lingsong came to cause trouble today, giving her an excuse to cover up her gold mining.

Of course, digging for gold is true, and looking for the King of Chu is also true.

After daybreak, several letters were delivered to the Mansion of Duke Ling, the Mansion of Duke Jiang, the Mansion of Marquis Wu, the Mansion of Minister Jiang, and the Yongning Palace.

She left letters for everyone.

The content of each letter was different, but most of them were just to let them know they were safe so as not to worry.

And the letter from Duke Jiang's Mansion...

……

"I left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to say goodbye. I'm going to the north to find the King of Chu. I don't know when I'll be able to return, or even if I'll ever be able to. Leave this letter as a farewell. If I don't come back, I'll be buried in the north with the King of Chu and my mother, which would be a kind of happiness."

After reading the contents of the letter, Jiang Bingde clutched the letter paper tremblingly, his eyes red.

He immediately rushed out of the door.

"Prepare your horses! I'm going to the palace to report Lu Lingsong!"
