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

After thinking about it, Jiang Ningwan decisively refused: "I don't agree."

Qin Beihuang's face froze.

Jiang Ningwan took out a stack of banknotes from her bosom and placed them on the table.

"Ten thousand taels."

"Either pay the title deed or we don't have to talk anymore."

If she gave Qin Beihuang profits every year, she would have to show him the shop's accounts. This was too unsafe, and she didn't trust Qin Beihuang.

Don't get too involved in business matters.

I would rather pay a little more to buy the shop.

Jiang Ningwan's attitude was firm, and her tone left no room for retreat.

Qin Beihuang couldn't help but tighten his grip on the wine glass. He looked at the stack of banknotes on the table with a serious expression, struggling internally.

His pride prevented him from reaching for the banknotes.

The debt owed by Prince Yi’s Mansion...

His throat tightened for a moment.

"Isn't ten thousand taels enough? It's enough to buy a dozen of the shops in Canglong City."

"I just don't like bargaining with people. If you don't want to, forget it."

"I don't have to buy this shop."

Jiang Ningwan spoke in a calm tone, and was about to take back the banknote.

Qin Beihuang tightened his grip on the wine glass, then loosened it again, and immediately gritted his teeth and agreed, "I do!"

I'd better pay off my debt first.

Jiang Ningwan breathed a sigh of relief and spread out his hands. "Land deed."

Qin Beihuang took out the land deed from his arms and handed it to her. Jiang Ningwan confirmed that there was no problem and put it away.

"Please count the banknotes. If there's no problem, I'll leave first."

Qin Beihuang didn't rush to count the banknotes, but asked unwillingly, "Don't you really want to stay with me?"

"Actually, I have a lot to tell you."

Jiang Ningwan smiled faintly, "What is there to talk about between us?"

Just as she was about to get up and leave, Qin Beihuang spoke again: "I apologize to you for what happened with the Blood-Cleansing Grass."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was slightly startled.

Why did he mention the Sanguisorba officinalis for no apparent reason?

"What's the point of apologizing? It's been so long, what's the point?"

Qin Beihuang looked serious and said sincerely, "I know it's too late to say this now, but I still want to apologize to you."

"Although I didn't plant the blood-draining grass, I was biased towards Lu Qingheng and did cause you harm."

"I hope you can accept this belated apology."

As he spoke, Qin Beihuang poured her a glass of wine.

Raise your glass and wait for her response.

Jiang Ningwan glanced at the wine glass in front of her, and raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Sorry, I don't accept it."

After saying that, she stood up and left the room.

She had died once, killed by the Sanguisorba officinalis.

She would never accept an apology that was just spoken.

Looking at Jiang Ningwan's decisive figure leaving, Qin Beihuang opened his mouth to call her, but he couldn't say it, and there was no reason to keep her.

He drank the wine in the glass with a heavy heart and threw a punch hard.

I drank alone late at night.

Jiang Ningwan took the land deeds back home with satisfaction. She had bought all the shops on the two streets, and the deal was considered complete.

The army did not enter Canglong City. In order to avoid Lu Lingsong discovering that she was buying a shop, she had to return to the camp at night.

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

It was so quiet that only the rustling of leaves could be heard.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps and panting were heard in the woods.

Yan Huixue and others immediately became alert.

Several people approached the woods.

The next moment, a man came out in a panic. When he saw someone, he was so scared that he fell to the ground.

He begged for mercy: "Please spare me, I am just an ordinary citizen, why do you have to kill us all?"

Judging from his attire, he is indeed just an ordinary citizen.

"Who is chasing you?" Jiang Ningwan asked doubtfully.

When the man realized that the people in front of him were safe, he quickly got up and pointed behind the woods and said, "Our village has been burned!"

"Those bastards from Qian Country, there are only a few elderly people left in our village who haven't moved out, and they won't let us go!"

As the man spoke, he cried and snotted.

Jiang Ningwan's eyes turned cold, "Qian people? How dare you come to Daning and act wildly? How arrogant!"

The army was already stationed three miles away, yet the Qian Kingdom dared to come here and kill and burn people.

"take me!"

The man was a little hesitant, but after Yan Huixue showed him the Ling Weijun badge, the man immediately led the way.

"Our village is remote. There was talk of a war recently, so many people have moved away with their families. Only a few elderly people are left. I didn't expect they wouldn't let us go!"

Jiang Ningwan rushed to the village with a few people and sent two others back to the army to report the news.

After walking a short distance into the woods, Jiang Ningwan suddenly realized that someone was following them. She stopped and looked, and found that it was Qin Beihuang.

"I saw you coming here. Did something happen?" Qin Beihuang followed and asked.

"A village was set on fire."

The group continued on their way.

After passing through the woods, we saw flames rising into the sky. The entire village had been engulfed in flames and it looked like there was no one left alive.

Outside the village, fifty or sixty people gathered.

Judging from their attire, they don’t look like the Qian Kingdom’s army.

Jiang Ningwan and others immediately hid behind the bushes.

Suddenly a man asked, "Everything has been cleaned up, except for one fish!"

"When that person who escaped the net reports to the army, we can put the blame on the Qian army for the fire. Should we continue?"

At this time, a familiar voice came.

"No need. The dispute has already been provoked. We just have to wait for them to start fighting."

"Withdraw."

Jiang Ningwan was shocked when she heard this voice.

Lu Qingheng!

is her!

Qin Beihuang was also shocked. He was very familiar with Lu Qingheng's voice. Under the faint moonlight, the figure was particularly familiar.

Why would she do this!

Just as Jiang Ningwan was assessing her chances of victory, a large number of figures suddenly emerged from the other side of the village. Under the firelight, their swords and knives were sharp, and the air was filled with murderous intent.

They looked like ordinary people, but the murderous aura they exuded was that of a soldier.

Jiang Ningwan took a closer look and realized that this was the army of the Qian Kingdom.

The other side had a large number of people and directly surrounded all of Lu Qingheng's men.

The leading man played with the long sword in his hand, "Retreat? Where to retreat?"

"You massacred three villages in Zechuan. I've been watching you for a long time. I didn't expect you to massacre villages in Daning Kingdom as well."

"Who the hell are you trying to start a border war?"

Jiang Ningwan was shocked when she heard this.

I haven't seen Lu Qingheng in Kyoto recently. It turns out he went to the border to cause trouble.

Lu Qingheng retreated nervously, gripping the sword tightly in his hand, ready to charge out.

The battle is about to break out.

But the other side had the advantage in numbers, and Lu Qingheng was captured in a short while.

"take away!"

Qin Beihuang, who was hiding in the bushes, suddenly changed his expression and wanted to stand up immediately.

Jiang Ningwan quickly grasped his shoulder and said in a low voice, "If you want to go save her, I have no objection. You can go after I leave!"

After saying that, he called on Yan Huixue and others to evacuate quickly.

The civilian was also taken away.

Going up with such a small number of people would undoubtedly be a suicide mission, and it is not worth it to save Lu Qingheng.

Just as they evacuated quickly, footsteps were suddenly heard behind them.

Looking back, Qin Beihuang had caught up with him.

"Aren't you going to save people?"

Qin Beihuang frowned, "Now is not the time!"
