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

He turned and looked at Jiang Xiru in shock.

What nonsense is Jiang Xiru talking about?

Xie Yongan couldn't hide the smile on his face, and asked again: "If you don't love him, why did you marry him?"

Jiang Xiru was stunned and answered slowly: "Because of the deal, I want to be the Crown Princess."

Hearing this, Qin Chengqian felt a little embarrassed.

Although Jiang Xiru had been aiming for the position of Crown Princess from the beginning, she said it in front of outsiders. These few simple words were as sharp as a knife.

He grabbed Jiang Xiru's hand, his eyes filled with warning, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Jiang Xiru said, "I'm not talking nonsense. I don't want to marry Qin Chengqian, but the prince."

Seeing her say these words expressionlessly, Qin Chengqian felt something was wrong.

But I don’t know what happened.

Xie Yongan couldn't help but chuckle: "I'm really sorry that I knew your secret just like that."

As he said this, he waved towards Xiangsui.

Xiangsui stopped beating the drum.

Seeing this action, Qin Chengqian realized something.

Xie Yongan smiled meaningfully, then looked at Jiang Xiru. She had woken up, her eyes were panicked, and she obviously knew what she had just said.

"What happened to you just now?" Qin Chengqian's eyes were as sharp as a blade.

"me……"

Jiang Xiru hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Can't explain.

She couldn't say that she had mistaken the person in front of her for her mother, right?

The chaotic feeling just now was like a dream. Facing her mother, she couldn't help but say those words.

"I didn't mean to..."

Qin Chengqian frowned and interrupted coldly: "Alright."

He raised his eyes to look at Xie Yongan, "Did you do this?"

Xie Yongan smiled, feeling very proud.

"Can my ability catch the eye of the eldest prince?"

Although he admitted it, Qin Chengqian still found it hard to believe.

"How did you do it? How did you control her when nothing was happening?"

He had never heard of such a method.

Xie Yongan smiled and said, "Of course I can't tell you my secret skills. This secret method of mine can control a person to speak the truth in a short period of time, just like what you just saw."

As he said this, he glanced at Jiang Xiru intentionally or unintentionally.

This once again reminded Qin Chengqian that Jiang Xiru had just said that she didn't love him.

Jiang Xiru's expression was full of nervousness. Qin Chengqian already had some opinions about her, and now he had embarrassed her in front of the Fourth Prince of Dayan. I'm afraid he would not be in a good mood towards her.

Qin Chengqian was indeed unhappy at the moment.

But he had more important things to do and couldn't give Xie Yongan a hard time.

"So, if you use this method on the King of Chu, you can make him speak the truth and reveal the secret of his rebellion?"

"The King of Chu is the God of War of the North. He was able to single-handedly charge into the enemy's ranks and fight back and forth without taking a single blow. His determination is unmatched by ordinary people. Will your method work on him?"

Xie Yongan said quietly, "I haven't met an opponent for this method yet."

"Don't worry."

Hearing this, Qin Chengqian felt some hope in his heart. If this could be accomplished, it would be effortless to sentence the King of Chu to death.

"Help me this time, what are your conditions?"

When he asked this question, Qin Chengqian already knew what he wanted.

Xie Yongan looked at Jiang Xiru with a deep gaze, "Doesn't the imperial concubine have the ability to predict the future? Could you please let her stay here and calculate for me who will be the new emperor of Dayan?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xiru quickly said: "No, I am not considered Da Yan's."

She didn't even know anything about Daning, so how could she calculate what happened to Dayan?

"The Grand Concubine is unwilling to help me?" Xie Yongan raised his eyebrows with an unhappy tone.

Qin Chengqian knew very well that Xie Yongan had other intentions, so he clenched his fists, then picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

It seems that some kind of determination has been made.

"Xiru, for our future and the overall situation, please help the Fourth Prince."

"If you can't figure it out right away, then wait a little longer."

"I'll pick you up before dawn."

After saying that, he slowly stood up and said politely, "Fourth Prince, I will go back first."

"The people outside your yard are all my people, no one will say anything."

Jiang Xiru was shocked and didn't react at all to what Qin Chengqian meant. She just nervously grabbed his sleeve.

"Your Highness..."

Qin Chengqian wants her to stay here overnight?

How could this be!

How can a single man and a single woman stay in the same room?

Besides, if she stayed in a place overnight with such an identity, what would people outside think of her?

Qin Chengqian indifferently pried open her fingers one by one and walked away.

"Your Highness!"

Jiang Xiru stood up and chased after him quickly.

When they reached the courtyard gate, Xiang Sui blocked their way. Ying Ying said with a smile, "Your Highness, what do you mean? Can't you see?"

"The night is still long. Young lady, please give our master a good calculation."

As she said that, Xiangsui smiled and walked out of the yard, closing the gate from the outside.

The moment the courtyard door closed, Jiang Xiru's face turned pale, she was desperate and heartbroken, and tears welled up in her eyes.

At this moment, footsteps came from behind.

Every step made her heart tremble.

"Fourth Prince." She just started to speak.

Unexpectedly, the person behind her suddenly hugged her, and Jiang Xiru couldn't stop shaking.

"Don't be afraid, Xiru."

Xie Yongan hugged her tightly, buried his face in her neck, and took a deep breath. "You know, the moment I saw you in Huichun Hall that day, I could never forget you."

"I didn't expect to meet you this time."

Jiang Xiru's hair stood on end. She pushed him away with all her strength and retreated defensively.

"I am the eldest prince's man, please respect yourself!"

Xie Yongan smiled and said, "But don't you not love Qin Chengqian?"

"You said it yourself, and he heard it too."

Jiang Xiru was so angry that she burst into tears. As expected, he had asked those questions on purpose to make Qin Chengqian feel resentful towards her.

"Even if I don't love him, I am still his! The eldest prince of Daning Kingdom is his!"

She gritted her teeth and tried to use this identity to warn Xie Yongan not to have any improper thoughts.

Seeing Jiang Xiru's tears, Xie Yongan looked distressed, "Forget it, I don't like to force others."

He turned and went back to his room, "What is Qin Chengqian's intention in keeping you here? Think about it carefully!"

"He asked me for something."

After saying that, Xie Yongan closed the door.

Silence returned to the courtyard. Jiang Xiru's legs went weak and he fell to the ground, tears streaming down his face.

Xie Yongan's words were like a sharp blade, cutting through the bloody facts.

She didn't know whether to feel sad for Qin Chengqian's behavior or sad for her own compromise.

Looking at the lighted room, she knew she couldn't escape that night.

She had no other choice.

Qin Chengqian already knew what she was really thinking, and he would only hate her even more. Her only role to Qin Chengqian was to get Xie Yongan to help him get rid of the King of Chu.

What she has always sought is a high position and power.

It doesn't matter who you cling to.

She stood up and walked towards the room with heavy steps...
