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

However, just as her hairpin was about to pierce her chest, she found that no one around came to stop her.

Her wrist suddenly hurt and the hairpin fell to the ground.

She clutched her trembling right hand in pain, tears streaming down her face. "For the past few months, I've been copying scriptures and praying for the prince, but now I can't even hold this hairpin..."

Anyone who heard this would be moved by the deep love the infatuated girl has for the prince.

Jiang Ningwan saw so many people watching around and was worried that it would affect the prince's reputation in their minds.

But an auntie was displeased and yelled: "Whose girl is so shameless!"

"The prince and princess are very loving. Where did you come from?"

"What's the point of you copying some scriptures for the prince? The princess also cured the prince's leg and rescued him from Dayan."

"The prince has never acknowledged you, so please stop pestering him. It's too embarrassing!"

The others followed suit, pointing and talking.

"Yeah, stop pretending to be pitiful and go home quickly."

"One moment you're saying you're keeping vigil for the prince, the next moment you're copying scriptures for him. The prince didn't blame you for cursing him to death, which is really magnanimous of him!"

"Whose girl is this? It's so shameful."

"I've seen her. She's been here for almost half a year, and she hasn't even been to Prince Chu's mansion. She's acting crazy and wants to keep vigil for the prince. Who is she pretending to be infatuated with?"

"Could it be a spy sent by Dayan?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted in anger. The people were furious and shouted, "If he is a spy, he must not be allowed to stay!"

"Get out of the city!"

"Get out of the North! Get out!"

Zhou Tingxu's face turned pale, he was shocked and terrified.

Jiang Ningwan was also a little surprised. It turned out that the people in the north not only knew that she had come, but also knew that it was she who cured the prince's leg.

It is impossible for the news to spread to everyone in just a few days.

Looking at the indignation of the people around him, Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but sigh that they were all good people who understood what was going on.

Zhou Tingxu was so embarrassed that he couldn't stay there any longer, so he had to get up and flee in a panic.

Seeing her running away, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Everyone does their own thing, as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Ningwan looked at Qin Shuangchi in surprise, "The people here are so kind."

Qin Shuangchi held her hand and continued to walk forward, "I was worried that you would misunderstand."

"Even though Zhou Tingxu came to the Northland, I ignored her and never let her into the Prince of Chu's Palace. Although I pestered her in every way, it was all her wishful thinking."

Jiang Ningwan curled her lips into a smile, "I believe you."

"How did the people of the North know that I healed your leg? I thought the news would never get through."

Qin Shuangchi's eyes were deep and he smiled, "I want the whole world to know how good you are."

"Let the whole world envy me."

"Not only do the people of the North know this, but the capital of Dayan knows it too. Perhaps the old emperor is jealous that I have such a wonderful wife, so he insisted on forcing me to marry their princess in order to destroy me."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan raised her eyebrows in surprise and laughed.

"Yes, yes, I must be jealous of you!"

The two chatted casually, and Jiang Ningwan asked again: "What about Zhou Tingxu if we return to Kyoto?"

"She is the Queen's niece after all. If anything happens in the North, the Queen will definitely not let it go."

"The emperor won't side with you. If you use this as an excuse to cause trouble..."

After learning that Qin Shuangchi's leg was injured by the Emperor's demolition, Jiang Ningwan felt that Kyoto City was a den of dragons and tigers.

The emperor didn't dare to do anything to Qin Shuangchi openly because he was a meritorious minister and he had done nothing wrong, so he could not harm him behind his back.

But if someone gets evidence against you, you might be demoted or even beheaded in no time.

Qin Shuangchi nodded, "I have also considered your concerns."

"We've arranged for someone to secretly watch her."

"When we return to Kyoto, we will arrange for someone to escort her back alone."

If Zhou Tingxu died in the north, it would be impossible to explain.

……

After living in the north for seven or eight days, Xiao Lan brought new news.

"Your Highness, there's movement from the Zhenxi Army! It seems Yan Yue is leading his men to Fengyuan City, having received a secret order from the Emperor."

"I guess it's to confirm whether the gold mine story is true or not."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's eyes lit up. "It seems the Emperor has become suspicious. As long as Yan Yue reports everything he finds, the Crown Prince's private hoard of gold will be confirmed."

Qin Shuangchi nodded slightly and said, "Continue to keep an eye on Fengyuan City."

"Yes!"

After Xiao Lan left, Jiang Ningwan was eating snacks when she suddenly thought of something. She sat up straight and rested her arms on the table.

"Mo Xuzi is indeed the emperor's confidant. He actually uses people from the Jianghu. But Mo Xuzi can't do much alone. Could he have cultivated other forces?"

Qin Shuangchi paused as he picked up the teacup. "I haven't thought about that."

"What you said makes sense."

"Then we must be more cautious and be on guard against underworld forces."

Jiang Ningwan nodded, "I've already cooperated with the Tianji Pavilion. Let's see if we can get them to help investigate."

Qin Shuangchi raised the corner of his lips and couldn't help but sigh: "How lucky I am to marry you."

Originally, when he married Jiang Ningwan, he never thought that she would help him, but along the way, Jiang Ningwan brought him so many surprises.

He is very grateful to Qin Beihuang now.

Thank goodness he's blind.

Only then will he have the chance to marry Jiang Ningwan.

"Stop praising me. If you continue praising me, I'll be furious." Jiang Ningwan couldn't hide the smile on her lips.

Qin Shuangchi picked up the cake and fed it to her. "In a couple of days, a magic troupe from Dayan will be coming here. Every year when they come, the city is very lively and there will be a lantern festival. It has become a habit over the years."

"The city will be more lively then."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's eyes lit up with anticipation, "Once a year? Then I must go and see it!"

……

After many days of anticipation, the city lantern festival finally arrived.

Xiang'er took her and dressed her up. She changed into a red dress with pearl necklaces around her waist and wrists. Her slightly curly hair was draped over her shoulders and braided into several braids with the pearl necklaces.

"During the Lantern Festival, many women dress like this. It's a rare occasion for the princess to come, so she must try it!"

Looking at herself in the mirror, she had delicate makeup, a touch of blooming pear blossom between her eyebrows, and was dressed extremely gorgeously. The pearls and jade jingled softly, and the ribbons around her wrists danced in the wind.

Jiang Ningwan is still not used to it.

Xiang'er looked at the dressed-up Jiang Ningwan and was extremely satisfied with her own skills. "The princess's face really looks good no matter how she dresses up! If the prince saw her, he might not dare to let her go out like this."

Jiang Ningwan was puzzled, "Why?"

Xiang Er covered her lips and chuckled: "Because it's too beautiful, I can't bear to let other men see it..."

Jiang Ningwan blushed, "You're the only one who talks sweetly!"

After saying that, Jiang Ningwan opened the door and was about to go out. It was almost time.

Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, Qin Shuangchi in a black robe was standing outside. The moment the two looked at each other, Qin Shuangchi's heart suddenly beat faster.

Jiang Ningwan felt a little embarrassed by Qin Shuangchi's constant staring, so she lowered her head to look at her outfit and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Qin Shuangchi raised a smile on his lips, "Xiang'er is right, I am a little reluctant to let you go."
