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

Jiang Xiru quickly stated her attitude, "I am willing to do whatever Your Highness commands!"

"Really?" Qin Chengqian's eyes dimmed. "Can you ruin the wedding of Qin Wenli and the princess?"

Jiang Xiru was stunned. "But they are getting married soon. What should I do..."

Qin Chengqian's eyes gradually turned cold. "With your status as the eldest prince's consort, if you have a secret meeting with the third prince and cause a scandal, their marriage will naturally fail."

Only in this way can we prevent them from getting married.

He would never let Qin Wenli suppress him!

As soon as he said that, Jiang Xiru's eyes widened and she looked at him in disbelief, "Your Highness, we are husband and wife...you let me..."

Qin Chengqian's cold fingertips brushed the tears from her face. "We are just doing business. Born in an imperial family, there is no need to talk about husband and wife."

"Don't worry, I will protect you after the incident."

After saying that, Qin Chengqian turned around and went back to his room.

Jiang Xiru collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted. Her heart was in turmoil. What should she do...

……

The ancestral worship ceremony coincided with the wedding date of the third prince. As the queen was ill and lacked energy, she presided over the ancestral worship ceremony, and Concubine Rong presided over the wedding of the third prince the next day.

This year, the King of Chu's leg has recovered, so he must also participate in the ancestral worship ceremony.

Jiang Ningwan, as the Princess of Chu, will also attend.

After a busy day, everyone had dinner in Taiming Hall in the evening.

Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi sat together, but they forced themselves not to speak, and they didn't even dare to make eye contact.

The emperor noticed this and slowly spoke, "Sixteen, what happened between you and Jiang Ningwan? You haven't said a word to each other all day."

"There's no such thing as an overnight grudge between husband and wife. If there's any conflict, just talk it out. Don't let others laugh at you."

The King of Chu quickly stood up and said, "My Royal Brother, you are worrying too much."

The emperor smiled and said, "I'm just worrying too much."

"I hope you guys will have a baby soon."

"This is also what the Queen Mother wished before her death!"

Although the emperor said this, the two remained silent and did not say a word.

Jiang Ningwan had a cold face the whole day, as if she had some deep hatred with the King of Chu, and she never gave him a good look.

However, at this moment, under the table and chairs where no one could see, the two people's little fingers were hooked together.

Not far away, Qin Beihuang's eyes always fell on Jiang Ningwan intentionally or unintentionally, and he poured a glass of wine and drank it all.

He observed the situation all day today and it seemed that it was indeed as the rumors said, that Jiang Ningwan and the King of Chu and his wife had become estranged.

As I was thinking about it, some images suddenly flashed through my mind.

……

In the courtyard of Prince Yi's mansion, Jiang Ningwan was already dressed up and waiting there.

He walked slowly towards them holding Lu Qingheng's hand.

She asked Jiang Ningwan in surprise, "Where are you going dressed like this?"

Jiang Ningwan was stunned. "Isn't today the ancestral worship ceremony?"

Both of their expressions changed.

Lu Qingheng took his hand and slowly put it down, "General, today is the ancestral worship ceremony. If you bring your two wives with you, it will be a joke. There is no such rule in the past dynasties."

"Forget it, I won't go. You and sister can go together."

Seeing Lu Qingheng turn around in disappointment, he grabbed Lu Qingheng's arm and said, "I promised to take you there today."

At this time, Jiang Ningwan said with dissatisfaction, "General, no matter how much you indulge Lu Qingheng, there should be a limit. The royal family always brings their wives to the ancestral worship ceremony, so why would they bring concubines?"

"If you have made this decision, why don't you discuss it with me?"

Qin Beihuang's face turned ugly, and he angrily shouted, "When do I need to discuss my decision with you?"

"Also, Qingheng is a co-wife, not a concubine!"

"But you are the head of the family, and she is your equal regardless of age! There is nothing wrong with me bringing her to participate!"

After saying that, he pulled Lu Qingheng away.

……

Qin Beihuang closed his eyes and clenched his fists, unable to believe this was true.

If Jiang Ningwan had not left the Prince Chu's Mansion, would the scene be like this?

……

Today's dinner for the ancestral worship ceremony is rather casual and can be considered a royal family dinner.

The emperor and the empress left early.

Jiang Ningwan had originally planned to go back early, but suddenly saw Qin Wenli get up and leave.

The palace maid beside him added another pot of wine to Qin Wenli's table.

The seemingly ordinary action made Jiang Ningwan cautious.

After all, tomorrow is Qin Wenli's wedding, so we can't be careless.

After a while, Qin Wenli returned to his seat. Coincidentally, someone came over to toast him. Qin Wenli couldn't refuse, so he poured a glass of wine and drank it all.

After sitting in the Taiming Palace for a while, Qin Wenli stood up and left the Palace only after seeing Qin Chengqian leave.

Jiang Ningwan's heart tightened, she pulled her hand away and stood up to leave.

……

The night is slightly cooler.

When Qin Wenli walked out of Taiming Hall, he was in a daze for a moment and held onto the wall with a dizzy head.

What's going on? I didn't even have a few drinks.

The princess sent someone to tell him that she was waiting for him at Qixia Palace. It was so late, and she wondered if there was something important. The wedding was tomorrow, so he had to go and see it.

We can't keep the princess waiting any longer.

Thinking of this, he quickened his pace and headed towards the Imperial Garden.

There was silence in the Imperial Garden.

Not even a palace maid was seen.

Qin Wenli felt something was a little strange, but he didn't think much about it and just quickly entered the Qixia Palace.

"Princess?"

The Qixia Palace was dark and without any lights on, and it seemed that no one was there.

Qin Wenli felt dizzy again. He leaned against the wall for a moment and called out twice, "Princess? Are you here?"

He pushed open the door of the temple and saw that it was quiet and empty, so he turned around and left.

But at this moment, a delicate voice came——

"I'm here."

That sound? Weird.

Qin Wenli walked in. "Is that you, Princess? Why aren't the lights on?"

"Is there something important that you're waiting for me here for?"

Qin Wenli was feeling very uncomfortable at this moment, but he still wanted to solve the princess's problem and didn't want her to feel neglected.

Just as he staggered forward, he suddenly heard the sound of a door closing behind him.

Qin Wenli was startled and was about to turn around to look.

But suddenly a figure hugged him from behind, and Qin Wenli was shocked.

"Don't turn around."

"Your Highness, I feel so bad. I think I ate something wrong... Can you help me?"

Qin Wenli looked down at the slender arm, his eyes reddened, and he grabbed it.

Jiang Xiru's heart tightened. She was a little nervous but also happy that the prey had taken the bait. Just as her hand reached into Qin Wenli's clothes.

Suddenly, her wrist tightened and she was thrown out with great force and fell heavily to the ground.

An angry voice came: "Shame on you!"

The next moment the door was pushed open.

Seeing the figures gathering outside the room, Jiang Xiru's face turned pale immediately.

"This……"

"how come……"

Everyone was shocked.

Jiang Ningwan, who was originally so drunk that she needed the support of a palace maid, suddenly sobered up, "Am I seeing things right? That's... the eldest prince's consort?"

"Eunuch Hai, am I drunk?"

Eunuch Hai's face turned pale as he said helplessly, "This old servant almost suspected that he was drunk!"

what!

Eunuch Hai!

Why is Eunuch Hai here?
