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

As soon as these words came out, everyone around stopped and looked at them.

Jiang Ningwan chuckled and said, "You don't think I'm deliberately taking revenge on you, do you?"

She held Pei Xunzhi's hand tightly. "Xunzhi and I hit it off right away. Who says we can't be friends?"

Pei Xunzhi didn't bother to pay attention to Lu Qingheng. He took Jiang Ningwan's hand and left. "Why bother explaining so much?"

"I'm hungry, let's go eat, what do you want to eat?"

Jiang Ningwan raised the corner of her lips and said, "Come up to the Magpie Tower, I'll treat you."

"Okay."

The two men walked around Lu Qingheng and left directly. Lu Qingheng behind him clenched his fists, full of hatred.

Jiang Ningwan must be taking revenge on her by stealing her friend.

The next step will definitely be to snatch Qin Beihuang away!

And everything that belongs to her!

The two of them went to Dengque Tower for dinner. Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why didn't everyone give Lu Qingheng any respect when they saw him just now?"

Generally speaking, no matter how dissatisfied the daughters of Kyoto's powerful and wealthy are with someone, they will maintain superficial harmony and will not embarrass anyone in public.

Pei Xunzhi poured a cup of hot wine. "Don't you know yet? News from the General's Mansion has spread from Guangfeng Restaurant. Lu Qingheng is plotting to take your dowry, mistreating the servants, withholding their wages, and even secretly taking medicine to abort his own child, framing you."

"She's cruel and vicious, and every one of her deeds is despicable. It's a pity that she has a brother who is a general who protects the country, otherwise..."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's eyes lit up. It seemed that Aunt Xu had taken action.

These were also what she experienced in her previous life.

Now it's Lu Qingheng's turn.

Before we know it, the Lantern Festival is almost here.

That day, news came from the palace that Concubine Rong invited her to the palace for a gathering.

Jiang Ningwan prepared some snacks from outside the palace in advance, including the osmanthus reunion cake that her grandfather's family made all year round. Concubine Rong should like it.

But when he was about to enter the palace, the guy from the pawnshop arrived.

"Are you Miss Jiang from the Duke's Mansion? Our shopkeeper would like you to come over and talk to him about the small house at No. 32 Qingping Lane."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was startled, "Anyone want to buy it?"

Lin Qinglai appeared?

"You'll know when you go."

Jiang Ningwan didn't care about anything else and immediately set off for the dental clinic.

But Lin Qinglai was not there, only Rong Niang, who sold the house to her.

She looked even more haggard than last time, and was coughing due to a cold.

"Miss, it's great that you are willing to come. I have a request. I would like to rent it for ten days. I wonder if this money is enough?" Rong Niang's hands were full of chilblains, and she held some silver coins earnestly.

Jiang Ningwan was puzzled. "Last time, I overheard you say that you sold the house to get the money to look for your daughter. So why are you renting a house now?"

Rong Niang smiled bitterly, feeling a little sad. "I didn't find it."

"I thought that since the Lunar New Year was approaching, she might come home to look for me, but the house had been sold and I was afraid she wouldn't be able to find me."

"So I want to rent it for ten days to see if I can wait for her."

The voice and appearance were heartbreaking. It seemed that she had been looking for her daughter for a long time.

Jiang Ningwan couldn't bear it and wanted to help her.

"What's your daughter's name? I'll find out for you."

Rong Niang was delighted and quickly said, "Lin Qinglai! Her name is Lin Qinglai!"

As soon as these three words came out, it was like a thunderclap exploding in Jiang Ningwan's ears.

Lin Qinglai, is actually her daughter?

No wonder Lin Qinglai was caught in this house, it turns out that is her home!

But when she captured Lin Qinglai in her previous life, she had never seen this woman named Rong Niang.

Now looking at Rong Niang’s frail appearance, could it be that she didn’t live to that time?

"Okay, I'll make a note of it. I'll help you find out."

"You don't need to pay for this. I'll rent it to you for a month."

Hearing this, Rong Niang was horrified and felt unbelievable, "This is not good, right? How can this be possible? You and I are not related at all..."

Jiang Ningwan said regretfully, "My mother is gone. There is no hope of reunion."

"I hope you and your daughter can be reunited soon."

Shopkeeper Xue, who was standing by, also said quickly, "Just accept it. Miss Jiang recently donated 50,000 taels to disaster relief. She's a very kind person!"

Rong Niang knelt down excitedly, "Thank you, Miss Jiang!"

Jiang Ningwan hurriedly supported her, but felt that her hands were extremely cold. He took her pulse and was secretly shocked. She was exhausted and seriously ill, and she didn't have much time left.

After Rong Niang left, Jiang Ningwan asked Shopkeeper Xue alone, "Is there no one else in Rong Niang's family? She looks very ill."

Shopkeeper Xue sighed, "Mrs. Rong had a miserable life. Abandoned by a heartless man, she raised her daughter all by herself, doing hard labor and even doing laundry in the dead of winter. Her daughter was her life, and yet, two years ago, she suddenly disappeared."

Jiang Ningwan was secretly shocked and met him.

Lin Qinglai disappeared two years ago because he was exiled to the north with the Ling family.

"What a miserable mother and daughter. Shopkeeper Xue, I'll write a prescription. Please help me get some medicine and send it over. Also, prepare some food, clothes and charcoal." Jiang Ningwan took out a hundred taels and handed it to Shopkeeper Xue.

Shopkeeper Xue was shocked. "You are so kind. I thank you on behalf of Rong Niang!"

"There's no need to tell Rong Niang about this. Find another reason to send it."

Shopkeeper Xue accepted the banknote and thanked him repeatedly.

After leaving the pawnshop, Jiang Ningwan instructed Li Chun, "Find a few reliable people to secretly monitor No. 32 Qingping Lane. If Lin Qinglai shows up, tell me immediately!"

"Don't alert the enemy!"

Lichun nodded in agreement, "Okay."

After some delay, it was already late at night when Jiang Ningwan entered the palace.

Unexpectedly, the food in Yongning Palace was still hot and untouched.

"I was delayed for a while and kept my aunt and cousin waiting!"

Concubine Rong pulled her to sit down, felt her hands were cold, and gave her a hand warmer. "It's cold outside, why don't you wear more clothes?"

"It's really hard for you to come into the palace in such a cold weather. However, my status does not allow me to leave the palace."

There was a trace of sadness in Concubine Rong's eyes.

Cuiwei noticed it with her sharp eyes and quickly opened the food box to take out the cakes. "Your Majesty, look, I also brought you some sweet-scented osmanthus reunion cakes. This is your favorite."

Concubine Rong's eyes lit up, "I was thinking about this, Ning Wan is so thoughtful."

"I thought that the palace didn't have it, and my aunt must have missed this taste, so I brought it here."

Qin Wenli poured the warmed wine and said with a smile, "This is indeed my negligence. Ning Wan is indeed very attentive."

Seeing Qin Wenli's smug look, Jiang Ningwan smiled and said, "My eldest cousin has been quite popular with the emperor recently. I guess he's been so busy that he forgot."

Originally, this celebratory meal should have been held earlier, but because the emperor had recently assigned Qin Wenli many important government affairs, he had no time.

Qin Wenli picked up his wine glass and stood up, solemnly toasting her with a glass of wine. "Ningwan, this glass of wine is for you!"

"Fortunately, I listened to you and went to Huainan, otherwise..."

Jiang Ningwan also raised her glass quickly, "That's all thanks to my eldest cousin's ability. I have to thank you. I only took 50,000 taels, but in return I received such a great achievement."

It can be seen that Qin Wenli did a lot of publicity in Huainan and spoke well of her.

Drink up the glass of wine.

Qin Wenli picked up another chicken drumstick for Jiang Ningwan and said, "Don't be polite, you are a great hero!"

"Father has been in a very good mood these past few days. He's even been coming to Yongning Palace more often. If it weren't for you, I don't know how long I would have been left out."

"But I still don't understand how you found out that Meng Yunzhang was corrupt."
