Jiang Ningwan sat on a stone bench and slowly poured a cup of tea. "What if I don't choose either?"

Qin Beihuang said in a cold and hard tone, "Then you can't blame me for being merciless."

Jiang Ningwan raised her eyes and raised her eyebrows, "And then?"

She was actually looking forward to whether Qin Beihuang would dare to divorce his wife.

If he dares, he has some courage.

"I will go to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow. Don't even think about keeping a single cent of the dowry your grandfather left you!" Qin Beihuang said angrily.

He didn't want to be so drastic, and even though his mother and Qingheng mentioned it many times, he didn't agree.

But now it seems that Jiang Ningwan is cruel and heartless, and he had no choice but to do so because he pushed his mother to that point.

Jiang Ningwan looked away disappointedly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Don't wait until tomorrow, go now."

She didn't keep a single cent of the dowry.

"Don't regret it!" Qin Beihuang left in anger.

That day, Qin Beihuang went into the palace with the dowry list.

However, what he got in return was a scolding.

"Qin Beihuang, are you holding a grudge against me because I punished Lu Qingheng? Are you deliberately making things difficult for Jiang Ningwan?"

"You didn't even let go of Jiang Ningwan's dowry?"

"As a man, how can you be so picky about your first wife?"

Qin Beihuang had no way to defend himself. It was obvious that Jiang Ningwan was petty and treated all of them harshly in the mansion!

"I am just following the rules, I have no selfish motives!"

The emperor looked at him angrily. Could he not see whether he had selfish motives or not?

If this matter had been discussed with Jiang Ningwan, how could he not know that Jiang Ningwan's dowry had already been used to help disaster victims in Huainan?

"Compared to Jiang Ningwan, you and Lu Qingheng seem petty. Jiang Ningwan already sent her dowry to Huainan for disaster relief. She's such a magnanimous woman, but look at what you've done."

He didn't even want to mention the matter of the Sanguisorba officinalis.

It's embarrassing to mention it.

Qin Beihuang was shocked when he heard this. "What? She took it out a long time ago? Is she trying to deceive the emperor?"

After taking out the dowry, how come Jiang Ningwan is still so rich?

Where does her money come from?

How can it be inexhaustible?

The emperor looked serious and slammed the table, "Absurd!"

"I spoke out of turn!" Qin Beihuang lowered his head quickly.

"I saw with my own eyes that the 50,000 taels of silver notes had already been taken to Huainan by the Third Prince."

How could such a huge amount of money be fake?

In this respect, no one in the court could match her.

Qin Beihuang's heart sank, and he finally understood why the emperor rewarded the Ling family mansion to Jiang Ningwan.

That's what Jiang Ningwan deserves. —

After Qin Beihuang entered the palace, there was no more movement.

Jiang Ningwan also spent a few days in peace. She calmed down and sorted out some major events that happened during this period of her previous life and recorded them one by one.

If the plan goes well.

I should be able to get the divorce decree in March, the beginning of spring.

Now that I have moved to the Jiang residence, I will spend the New Year peacefully.

More than a month later.

Nanny Xu came to Jiang's house to see her for the first time.

After walking around Jiang's house, I was extremely shocked.

Jiang Ningwan finished practicing with her spear and came to the front yard. "Lichun said you had something urgent to talk to me about?"

"Madam, I recently discovered that the person from Moyun Pavilion was taking medicine. I always saw the maid secretly pouring out the medicine residue."

Jiang Ningwan raised her eyebrows. "Isn't Lu Qingheng injured? It's normal for him to take medicine."

"Oh, her injury has healed a long time ago! Her second brother from the Lu family sent her a lot of nourishing foods and some excellent medicine for external injuries."

"And even if you take the medicine, there's no need to be so secretive. There must be something fishy about pouring out the medicine."

Jiang Ningwan recalled that it was almost the end of the year, and at this time in her previous life, Lu Qingheng had a miscarriage.

Lu Qingheng was beaten and injured in the palace before, and she thought she would never have a child in this life, but she actually did?

How crazy.

"I see."

Aunt Xu hesitated and didn't leave. She smiled and said, "Madam, please take me over sometime. I want to come to the Jiang residence to do some work for you!"

Jiang Ningwan smiled and said, "I still need you to help me keep an eye on things at the General's Mansion."

She glanced at Lichun, who immediately took out a banknote and stuffed it into Madam Xu's hand, "Madam Xu, you've worked hard."

"It's not hard at all! It's a blessing for me to work for the madam!" Aunt Xu left with a smile.

Jiang Ningwan's eyes turned cold. She didn't dare to keep someone like Aunt Xu around.

She is usually well-fed and well-dressed, but if you scold her one day, she will bite you unexpectedly.

It’s better to stay in the general’s mansion.

"Lichun, go check what medicine Lu Qingheng is taking. It would be best if you could get the prescription and the residue."

The weather was getting colder day by day, and the yard was covered with a layer of white frost in the early morning.

Jiang Ningwan stayed in the warm room reading and writing, feeling very comfortable.

A slight cool breeze came in from the slightly opened window, bringing a fresh air.

If Lu Qingheng hadn't come, she wouldn't have been willing to step out of the room.

After getting dressed and walking out of Shuangxi Garden, I learned that Lu Qingheng was already wandering around in the garden.

"Miss, why do you need to meet him? Just send him away." Lichun put a cloak on her.

"Just wait, there will be a good show today. You should prepare your things later." Jiang Ningwan raised the corners of her lips slightly.

When Lu Qingheng was found, she was standing by the pond, staring at something in a trance.

"What a rare guest." Jiang Ningwan walked forward slowly.

Lu Qingheng turned around and glanced at her, "I have something I want to tell you alone."

Jiang Ningwan asked Li Chun to leave.

"What do you want to say?"

"Are you not planning on returning to the General's Mansion? The New Year is almost over, and the family always needs to be reunited."

Jiang Ningwan chuckled, "Is this what you really mean?"

Lu Qingheng's palms clenched slightly. Of course she didn't want to come, but Princess Yi was thinking about the Jiang residence all day long, complaining about her headache. Qin Beihuang felt sorry for his mother and asked her to think of a solution.

What else can I do? I can only ask Jiang Ningwan for help.

"If you don't go back, then we'll come over and reunite."

"wishful thinking."

"Jiang Ningwan!" Lu Qingheng grabbed her arm in anger, "What do you want? Do you want me to die?"

Jiang Ningwan pulled her arms away in disgust.

Lu Qingheng seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. His feet slipped, he took a few steps back and fell into the pond.

The cloak was filled with water from the pond, pressing heavily on Lu Qingheng's body, making it impossible for her to escape from the water, and she struggled desperately.

Li Chun rushed over after hearing the noise, was shocked when she saw this scene, and hurried to call for help.

"Don't shout, let her soak." Jiang Ningwan said in a cold tone and watched with her hands folded.

Lu Qingheng was in a terrible state in the water, constantly calling for help, his face pale from the cold.

Jiang Ningwan watched coldly from the sidelines. He had come to her house specifically to put on a show, so of course he had to fulfill her wish.

Soon, a figure rushed over following the sound and pushed Jiang Ningwan away, "You vicious woman!"

Jiang Ningwan staggered a few steps and almost fell.

When he stood firm, he saw Qin Beihuang jump into the pond to save people.

Jiang Ningwan's eyes turned slightly cold, and a sarcastic sneer appeared on his lips.

"Qingheng!" Qin Beihuang jumped into the water, but was stunned the next moment and slowly stood up.

The water level was only up to his waist.

Jiang Ningwan crossed her arms and looked at them with great interest. "The water is really deep. It almost drowned me."
