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

Qin Beihuang's face suddenly changed, and he rushed in, "What nonsense! Who asked you to slander Qing Heng?"

Ying'er was so scared that she started crying. "I don't know what kind of grass this is. Madam Lu told me to go to her room every few days to water it and take care of it. I can't let it die. She also asked me to prepare several pots of plum blossoms in her room to cover up the smell."

After hearing this, Divine Doctor Qiu angrily scolded: "What a vicious heart!"

"What did my disciple do to deserve your cruelty and murder?"

Everyone present was extremely angry. Jiang Ningwan was the legal wife, and Lu Qingheng had snatched someone else's husband from the battlefield and married her as a concubine. Not only did he even use the blood-destroying grass to murder the legal wife.

Jiang Ningwan's eyes were red and she started coughing, her handkerchief was covered in blood.

"Miss!" Li Chun came forward crying and supported her, her voice choked with sobs, "No wonder Miss has been feeling unwell recently. I thought it was because Princess Yi punished you, but I didn't expect..."

Pei Xunzhi's expression changed. "What? Princess Yi is punishing you?"

Jiang Ningwan shook her head weakly, "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

She let go of Li Chun and Pei Xunzhi, turned to face Wu Bohou and King Chu, raised her arms and saluted solemnly.

He said word by word, "Please ask Marquis Wu and the King of Chu to report the truth to the Emperor and give me justice!"

Qin Beihuang's face turned pale when he saw this scene. He rushed over and grabbed Jiang Ningwan's arm, "Jiang Ningwan, this is our family matter. It's none of your business!"

Jiang Ningwan's arm was pulled so hard that it hurt. She frowned and staggered a step.

Suddenly, a palm wind from internal force brushed past Jiang Ningwan's side.

Qin Beihuang was shocked and retreated several steps.

Jiang Ningwan looked at the person who made the move—Qin Shuangchi—in surprise.

What a strong internal force.

Although his legs were lame, his inner strength was still there.

Then there is hope that this leg can be cured.

Just as she was thinking, a figure suddenly rushed over and hugged her.

Pei Xunzhi held her in his arms and glared at Qin Beihuang, "This is how your family treats the Duke's daughter! What a heartless person! Your entire family conspired to take Jiang Ningwan's life. God is watching you! You will get your comeuppance sooner or later!"

Qin Beihuang was extremely anxious, but he could not argue.

"Every detail of what happened today will be reported to the Emperor without omission!"

"If there is no severe punishment, there will be no justice in this world!"

Jiang Ningwan leaned in Pei Xunzhi's arms, with a triumphant smile on her lips. She would not suffer in silence, and she would make them pay the price for this Sanguisorba officinalis!

Her voice choked with sobs: "General, we caught her red-handed. She used the blood-draining grass to kill me, and you still want to trust her and protect her?"

That aggrieved look makes people feel nervous.

If Qin Beihuang hadn't seen the pride in Jiang Ningwan's eyes, he would have almost been fooled.

However, at this moment, he was even more angry. All this was Jiang Ningwan's plan!

"I believe Qingheng is innocent. She would never do such a heinous thing!"

It must be Jiang Ningwan's frame-up!

The purpose is to force him to divorce Lu Qingheng!

"What if it's really her?" Jiang Ningwan asked pretending to be unwilling.

Qin Beihuang said firmly, "I guarantee with my life that it's not her!"

After saying that, he turned around and glanced at Lu Qingheng, then added: "I will always stand by her side. No matter what happens, I will not change. Even if the sky falls, we will bear it together!"

Qin Beihuang expressed his determination, hoping that Jiang Ningwan would give up and stop playing these tricks.

These words made everyone present feel angry for Jiang Ningwan.

It's really hurtful.

Jiang Ningwan was calm at the moment. If she let everyone see how heartless Qin Beihuang was, it would be easier for her to file for divorce.

"Then General, please remember your words and share the responsibility with Lu Qingheng."

We must also bear the blame for the harm caused by Sanguisorba officinalis!

The King of Chu turned his wheelchair and prepared to leave, his tone cold: "Then please invite General Qin and General Lu to come into the palace together."

"We already have information on where the Sanguisorba officinalis came from."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Jiang Ningwan was a little surprised. They found out so quickly?

The King of Chu is really decisive in his actions, worthy of being the god of war who once shocked the north.

Lu Qingheng was feeling uneasy and was led away by Qin Beihuang.

Everyone went into the palace. Pei Xunzhi pulled Jiang Ningwan and said, "Why don't you go to my house and sit for a while."

Jiang Ningwan nodded.

When Princess Yi saw Jiang Ningwan being taken away, she swallowed the words of blame that were on the tip of her tongue and turned away angrily.

The guests in Wu Bohou's mansion have left and the yard is very quiet.

The two drank tea and chatted.

In the evening, a servant came hurriedly.

"Miss, there is news from the palace."

Pei Xunzhi put down his teacup and sat up straight, "Hurry up and tell me!"

"General Qin Beihuang and General Lu Qingheng were both caned 100 times and fined one year's salary. General Lu Qingheng was also dismissed from his position. From now on, he will be a commoner. The Emperor even summoned the Grand Protector General to the palace."

After hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's grip on the teacup suddenly tightened.

Lu Qingheng was demoted.

Reasonable, unexpected.

In her previous life, Lu Qingheng returned to the army in the second year after her marriage because she lost her first child and was promoted all the way thereafter.

Now, before winter is over, he has been demoted and there is no possibility of promotion.

"Are you sure the news is accurate? Was Lu Qingheng really demoted?" Pei Xunzhi asked anxiously.

The servant nodded, "The Marquis sent a message. He knows that the young lady is worried about you, so the news must be correct."

"That's good."

Pei Xunzhi breathed a sigh of relief, but also sighed.

"I thought Daning State finally had a female general, but I didn't expect... she would be gone so soon."

“It’s really your own fault.”

Not only that, Lu Qingheng, who had lost her military position, had her reputation ruined. No one, including the daughters of wealthy families and powerful ladies in Kyoto, would want to associate with her.

She will be unable to move in Kyoto.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ningwan felt a little relieved. Such a happy event had to be celebrated at the General's Mansion.

"Miss Pei, how about I invite you to dinner at Dengque Tower tonight? I've prepared a small gift for you as an apology for today."

Pei Xunzhi was slightly startled when he heard this. "No need to apologize. I didn't take it to heart. But today, you survived a great disaster and found the murderer. It's worth celebrating!"

"Also, please don't call me Miss Pei. It's too distant. You're older than me, so I'll call you Sister Wan."

Jiang Ningwan raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Then I'll ask you to find Zhi?"

"it is good."

Then the two of them went to Dengque Tower together.

Li Chun followed silently, and couldn't help but feel happy for the young lady. After the incident at the Ling family, the young lady hadn't been this happy for a long time.

The two arrived at Dengque Tower, and Jiang Ningwan had already booked wine, food and the best room.

Dengquelou is the tallest restaurant in Kyoto. It has six floors and is in a tower shape. There is only one room on the sixth floor.

When the windows on three sides are opened, you can enjoy the magnificent view of the entire Kyoto.

"The lights from thousands of homes are so beautiful." Pei Xunzhi was shocked by the scene before him.

This is the first time she has come here since she was a child.

You have to make reservations in advance to visit the Que Tower, and not everyone can book such a good room.

Jiang Ningwan had a plan for today early in the morning and was prepared to apologize. She was smart and thoughtful.

"When it snows in a while, the scenery will be even more beautiful." In her previous life, when she couldn't stay in the Qin family, she would come here alone to sit and meditate.

She had been walking alone for a long time, and this was the first time someone had accompanied her.

"Thank you, Sister Wan. It's my eighteenth birthday. I have no regrets." Pei Xunzhi looked up at the night wind.

"It's too early to thank you. I still have a gift for you." Jiang Ningwan raised the corners of her lips slightly.

"what gift?"

Jiang Ningwan whistled loudly.

The next moment, gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the night sky.

It instantly illuminated the entire Kyoto.

Pei Xunzhi was so surprised that he almost jumped up while holding Jiang Ningwan's arm.

Jiang Ningwan looked at the night sky with a slight smile on her lips. This was for Pei Xunzhi and also for the General's Mansion.

The gorgeous fireworks made the originally quiet streets suddenly lively.

There was laughter.

And somewhere in Kyoto, a house quietly ignited a blaze...
