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

After entering the room and closing the door, Jiang Ningwan couldn't wait to ask, "My cousin asked about Jinghong Pavilion as soon as he arrived today, and he mentioned it again at the banquet just now. He's obviously suspicious of something."

"You've been married for so long, haven't you told him about Jinghong Pavilion?"

Shen Lianyi shook his head solemnly, "I didn't plan to tell him about Jinghong Pavilion."

"I don't plan to tell you anymore."

"If I ask you again, just pretend you've never seen me and don't know the owner of Jinghong Pavilion."

Jiang Ningwan looked troubled. "Is this really necessary?"

"Truth will come to light sooner or later. When that happens, you..."

If they continue to deceive each other like this, their relationship will sooner or later run into problems.

She didn't want to see that day.

"Let's talk about the future later. I don't want to tell him now. Please keep it a secret for me." Shen Lianyi looked at her pleadingly.

Jiang Ningwan was a little embarrassed. "What's wrong with you? Can't you just talk it out?"

"Is it related to Dayan's matter?"

"We can all help you find a solution together."

When this matter was mentioned, Shen Lanyi's expression suddenly changed and he looked a little more serious.

"This is my own business, I hope you won't interfere."

“This isn’t something that can be solved by just thinking about it.”

Seeing her resolute attitude, Jiang Ningwan stopped trying to persuade her, "Okay, I'll keep it a secret for you."

Shen Lianyi looked grateful, "Thank you!"

Jiang Ningwan then changed her clothes and the two returned to the table together.

Everyone had almost finished eating, and Qin Shuangchi gave her the two fried fish he had saved.

This is what Jiang Ningwan likes. When she left, the plate of fried fish was empty.

Jiang Ningwan understood what he meant, and they smiled at each other.

Everyone noticed the flirtatious look between the two and couldn't help but chuckle.

Ling Chaowen jokingly said, "No wonder the prince didn't drink much and kept staring at the food on the table."

Seeing Shen Lanyi smiling, Qin Wenli carefully picked up some food for her and said, "This is what you like."

The smile on Shen Lianyi's face froze.

He suddenly put down his chopsticks and said, "I don't like it now."

Qin Wenli's face froze.

But Shen Lianyi refused to give him any face and stood up and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."

After speaking, he left.

Qin Wenli's heart tightened and he immediately stood up and chased after him.

"Ripple! What's wrong with you?"

Everyone else at the table looked at each other.

Pei Xunzhi asked in confusion, "When did the Third Prince anger the Third Imperial Concubine?"

Ling Chaowen shook his head and sighed: "They have been like this for a while."

"My cousin has been coming to me every day for drinks these past few days, asking me how to please the girls, because the Third Princess is always unhappy."

"I've given him a lot of advice, and it always worked for me before. I don't know why it doesn't work for him anymore."

"I've been coaxing him for so long but it hasn't worked. Instead, it's gotten worse."

"Everything was fine before the wedding, but after the wedding, why did it become so..."

Listening to these words, Jiang Ningwan seemed to be lost in thought.

It seems that the problem lies not with Qin Wenli, but with Xie Chenyuan.

After Qin Wenli and Shen Lianyi left, no one was in the mood to drink anymore, so they all went home.

Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi held hands and got into the carriage.

"Your Majesty, can you find out if Xie Chenyuan is safe now?"

"Shen Lanyi must be worried about Xie Chenyuan."

"But she doesn't want us to help her or even get involved in this, not even asking."

Qin Shuangchi held her hand tightly and comforted her, "I've already sent people to gather information. As long as Dayan's wanted order hasn't been withdrawn, it means Xie Chenyuan is still alive."

“Don’t worry too much!”

Jiang Ningwan raised the corners of her lips slightly and leaned on his shoulder, "It's great to have you."

……

Huichun Hall.

All the shopkeepers of Qianqiu Trading Company gathered here.

Jiang Ningwan sat in the first seat and slowly took out a stack of land deeds. "The civil unrest in Qian State has ended, and the new emperor has ascended the throne. I've obtained some land deeds for shops in the capital."

"And Canglong City, I bought two streets."

"We are in urgent need of manpower and a shopkeeper to manage the shop. Let's discuss and finalize this matter today."

Everyone was stunned when they saw the thick stack of land deeds on the table.

It’s fine if he bought two streets in Canglong City, but can he also get the title deed to the capital of Qian Kingdom?

"Young Miss is truly extraordinary! With so many shops, our business is about to expand!"

"Since the year before last, our company has grown rapidly under the leadership of the eldest lady. Now our business is even expanding to the Qian Kingdom!"

Everyone was delighted.

Everyone present watched the business develop step by step, just like watching their own children grow up and become independent.

Everyone is happy about it.

"The company's growth to this size is inseparable from the support and dedication of all the shopkeepers."

"The tasks ahead are extremely arduous, and I'm going to thank all the shopkeepers for their hard work."

Everyone quickly responded: "That's what we should do."

Then everyone discussed what business Qian Guo’s shop should do.

"Our silk and rouge shops are the best-performing businesses in Kyoto. As our company's hallmarks, we absolutely must keep these two shops open!"

"Canglong City can build a warehouse for our company, which will make it more convenient to transport goods to Qian Country."

……

After a whole day of discussion, the business of shops in Canglong City and Qian Kingdom officially began to be prepared.

Jiang Ningwan personally understands and keeps an eye on all matters, big and small.

Once I get busy, I'm extremely busy.

Before opening a new shop, you need to invest a lot of money, prepare goods, and recruit staff.

For several consecutive days, Jiang Ningwan stayed in Huichun Hall.

I had just finished checking the accounts that day and my eyes were tired, so I stood up while drinking my tea and walked to the window to look at the scenery.

Suddenly I saw a familiar figure on the street.

Ling Jinlan was shopping with a few maids and guards.

Jiang Ningwan was just about to ask someone to ask her to come over and sit down when she suddenly saw Ling Jinlan passing by a teahouse.

A basin of water suddenly poured down from upstairs.

Ling Jinlan was unable to dodge and was soaked through, falling to the ground in a horrible state.

Clothes in early summer are relatively light and thin. When wet, they stick to the body and look transparent.

The maid was horrified and quickly squatted down to protect Ling Jinlan, "Miss..."

At this moment, a burst of laughter broke out upstairs.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"It's my sister-in-law, do you need any help?"

Zhou Yu leaned against the railing with one foot on it, watching Ling Jinlan making a fool of herself below with great interest, a smug smile on his face.

A man nearby asked, "Is she your sister-in-law? When did the second daughter of the Duke of Ling get married?"

Zhou Yu said, "She was already engaged to my brother. After he died, she hooked up with the official from the Dali Temple before his body was even cold. She's nothing but a fickle and unfaithful woman."

The contemptuous voice spread throughout the streets.

Passersby would look at Ling Jinlan meaningfully.

But some people also criticized Zhou Yu's behavior.

"It's really petty for a grown man to treat a little girl like this."

But Zhou Yu's vicious look scared the other party so much that he dared not speak anymore.

Ling Jinlan was soaking wet. Although he was angry, he didn't want to be laughed at anymore. He lowered his head and said through gritted teeth, "Let's go."

Just at this moment, Zhou Yu jumped to the ground and blocked Ling Jinlan's way.

"Sister-in-law, don't go. Where's that guy from Dali Temple? Why didn't he come out even though he saw you getting wet?"
