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

Jiang Ningwan smiled suddenly, and said in a relaxed tone: "Are you kidding, Duke Jiang?"

That indifferent and joking tone was like a sharp blade.

Jiang Bingde's heart tightened and he was unable to speak for a long time.

"Is it because of Xiru?"

"Can't you accept her? She's my daughter, what do you want me to do?"

Jiang Ningwan chuckled, "Duke Jiang, I think you probably misunderstood. How can I have the qualifications and status to make demands on you and Jiang Xiru?"

"You don't have to do anything."

"We are just colleagues, nothing more."

Jiang Bingde felt like a needle piercing his chest, and he pressed on unwillingly, "If you have any conditions, just ask. I'll do my best to make up for it!"

Jiang Ningwan said indifferently: "I don't want to repeat what I said before."

"If Duke Jiang has nothing else to do, please return."

"You don't need to interfere in the affairs of Prince Chu's Mansion."

"Xiao Lan! Show him out!"

After saying that, Jiang Ningwan walked away without even looking back.

Jiang Bingde wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Xiao Lan, who gestured to him, "Duke Jiang, I'll take you there."

Jiang Bingde was in a low mood and left the Prince of Chu's Mansion with heavy steps.

After Jiang Bingde left, Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi had lunch together.

After lunch, Li Chun brought a letter, "This letter was sent by Doctor Hong from Huichun Hall."

Jiang Ningwan opened it and took a look, her eyes lighting up.

"The various forces of Qian Kingdom have already reached the capital. I believe the throne will soon be decided."

"Now is a good opportunity for us to make friends."

Qin Shuangchi was slightly startled. "Is it a letter from that ghost-faced Yama?"

Jiang Ningwan nodded.

"I always feel that this person is familiar. Are you an old acquaintance of him?"

Hearing him ask, Jiang Ningwan no longer concealed, "He is my Uncle Luo."

"When I was little, he held me in his arms and played with me."

"The Ninth Prince, whom he currently supports, is almost at the capital, but he's in trouble. He hopes I can offer some assistance!"

Qin Shuangchi was not surprised to hear this. The last time he was in Zechuan, he felt that Jiang Ningwan had a close relationship with the Ghost-faced Yama.

"In that case, of course we have to help!"

"Helping each other in times of crisis and making a few friends will benefit us in the future, ensuring the stability of the Qian Kingdom."

Jiang Ningwan frowned and thought, "But to help them, we need at least 5,000 soldiers. Such a large mobilization would make the emperor aware."

"We have to find a way to go there legitimately."

When Qian Country is settled, her Qianqiu Trading Company will have to move to Qian Country.

……

However, the opportunity soon came.

The various forces of the Qian Kingdom have already reached the capital and are in the final stage of the struggle for the throne. This is the most chaotic time for the Qian Kingdom.

During the morning court session, the emperor mentioned, "Recently, the border has been repeatedly invaded by the Qian Kingdom. The struggle for the throne within the Qian Kingdom is becoming increasingly chaotic. This is a good opportunity for us to take advantage of the situation."

"Is there any general willing to lead his troops south?"

The emperor's intention was very clear. He wanted to take advantage of the Qian Kingdom's fight for the throne to force them to cede land.

It is impossible to swallow up the Qian Kingdom in one breath, but it is still possible to take over a few more cities.

Lu Lingsong was almost the first one to step forward, "I am willing to go!"

Jiang Ningwan slowed down a step and said, "I am willing to go!"

Qin Beihuang also stood up immediately, "I am willing too!"

The Emperor nodded in appreciation. "In that case, let's temporarily order the three of you to go to the Imperial Study after the court session to discuss a strategy for the attack."

"Yes!"

After the court was dismissed, the three of them went to the imperial study and each of them presented their countermeasures.

Lu Lingsong is ambitious. He wants more than just one or two cities. He even wants half of the Qian Kingdom.

This is almost impossible to accomplish.

But this was exactly what the emperor wanted, so he appointed Lu Lingsong as the commander-in-chief and marched south to attack the Qian Kingdom.

For Jiang Ningwan, this is both an opportunity and a trouble.

Now we not only have to help Uncle Luo solve internal problems, but also help him solve these external enemies.

However, in times of crisis, greater benefits can be gained.

Jiang Ningwan was so lost in thought that she didn't hear Qin Beihuang calling her from behind.

Suddenly Qin Beihuang caught up and stopped her.

Jiang Ningwan was startled, "What are you doing?"

There was a hint of heartache in Qin Beihuang's eyes when he looked at her, which made Jiang Ningwan feel puzzled.

"Are you... okay?"

Jiang Ningwan walked around him and said calmly, "It's fine."

"Did you learn martial arts in elementary school? Did you learn it from General Ling?"

Jiang Ningwan was confused. "Why are you asking these questions? Are you trying to steal my skills?"

Qin Beihuang quickly explained: "No."

"just asking."

"Do you have time? Do you have any ideas about going south to attack the Qian Kingdom this time? Can we talk?"

Jiang Ningwan kept walking. "We have nothing to talk about. This is just business. We will do whatever the emperor commands."

She had this idea and had already expressed it in the imperial study. The various forces in Qian Kingdom were fighting for the throne, but they were fighting for the entire Qian Kingdom. How could they cede half of the country to avoid foreign war?

The military strength of the Qian Kingdom is not that weak yet.

But the emperor did not listen and placed high hopes on Lu Lingsong.

Qin Beihuang smiled and said, "I'm glad to see you on the battlefield again."

Jiang Ningwan frowned and looked at him, without replying, and left quickly.

Looking at Jiang Ningwan's indifferent back as she left, Qin Beihuang's eyes were deep and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

During this time in Prince Yi's Mansion, he seemed to be able to see Jiang Ningwan's figure anytime and anywhere, but unlike her current figure, he always saw Jiang Ningwan in a weak state.

He managed everything in the mansion in an orderly manner.

He held a grand birthday party for his mother and took great pains to prepare gifts to make friends with various families, putting a lot of thought into every aspect.

The entire Prince Yi's Mansion seemed to be filled with traces of Jiang Ningwan's life.

The images became clearer each time.

He gradually discovered that those were not hallucinations.

But his...memories.

He didn't know when he started to have these memories, he only knew that they emerged in his mind bit by bit, more and more.

Return to Prince Yi's Mansion.

A few ruffians are harassing Qin Jianjian.

Arrogant.

"If you don't pay me back, I'll report you to the police!"

"Your brother is a general, how could he be without money? If we can't pay it back and file a complaint with the authorities, we won't be the ones to be embarrassed!"

Qin Jian was pushed to the ground and cried, "I will pay it back!"

"Give me some more time!"

Qin Beihuang's face turned grim as he shouted, "How dare you! How dare you trespass into Prince Yi's mansion!"

Several people took a step back in fear.

"General Qin, right? Paying back debts is a matter of course! Even if you're an official, you can't default on your debts!"

"If you can't pay it back, don't blame us for being rude!"

Qin Beihuang shouted angrily, "I will pay you back! Get out of here right now! If you dare to harass me again, I will be rude to you!"

Under the imposing manner of the general, several people still left Prince Yi's Mansion in fear.

Qin Bei turned around and looked at Qin Jianjian, "Are you okay? Why didn't you tell me how much money you owed?"

Qin Jian lowered his head in grievance. "All this was borrowed from everywhere when Lu Qingheng was in charge. She didn't spend any of her own money. She borrowed from every bank in and outside of Kyoto. She now owes more than 18,000 taels..."

“I can’t even pay it back!”

Marrying Lu Qingheng is really bad luck.

She was divorced and left, but she left them with a huge debt.
