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

"I don't agree! This is too much!"

In Yongning Palace, Concubine Rong slammed the table in anger.

"How could such a big fire start in such a cold weather, burning down all the habitable houses? I think they set it on purpose, hoping to use this opportunity to move to the Jiang residence!"

"Qin Beihuang had the nerve to write to the emperor, requesting that Princess Yi be allowed to move to the Jiang residence."

"Shameless!"

Cuiwei, who was standing by, was frightened. It was the first time she saw Concubine Rong get so angry. She quickly poured tea and said, "Your Majesty, calm down."

Qin Wenli also hurriedly said, "Mother, please don't be angry yet. Father hasn't responded to this matter yet. After all, it involves the inner court's family affairs. As a monarch, how can he interfere in everything?"

Concubine Rong was feeling uneasy. "Wen Li, you have to help your sister. Once this happens, the Jiang family will no longer be named Jiang. Sooner or later, the house will become a general's residence!"

Qin Wenli nodded and said, "I will try to persuade the emperor."

"As long as the Emperor doesn't express his opinion and Ning Wan disagrees, Princess Yi's plan will fail."

"Of course I don't agree. It wasn't me who set the fire that burned down Jinhuaju."

In front of the Jiang residence's gate, Jiang Ningwan answered confidently.

Qin Beihuang's expression changed. "Jiang Ningwan, I'm not coveting your house. Qingheng and I won't move in. We're just letting Mother stay here for a while."

"There's no extra yard in the General's Mansion. Are you going to let my mother sleep on the street?"

Jiang Ningwan's expression was calm and indifferent. "Where Princess Yi sleeps is something you, as her son, should worry about."

"Don't use filial piety to threaten me."

"If you are a filial son, you should let Moyun Pavilion be given to Princess Yi to live in."

"If that doesn't work, we can also let Princess Yi live in the Protector General's Mansion. Isn't that her daughter-in-law's home as well?"

Hearing this, Qin Beihuang's face turned grim. "How can we stay in the General's Mansion? After all, it would be inconvenient to have a man living there."

Jiang Ningwan was speechless.

At this time, a carriage stopped by the roadside, and two servants carried a person on a bamboo chair to the gate.

I saw that one of Jiang Zhouye's legs was wrapped with a bamboo board, and it seemed to be broken.

"General Qin, what you said is wrong. Aren't you just bullying Ning Wan because she has no one at home?"

"Lu Qingheng has his brother living at home, which is very inconvenient. But I'm in the Jiang residence, and I'm also a man. It's inconvenient, really inconvenient!"

Jiang Ningwan was very surprised when she saw this.

Qin Beihuang looked at Jiang Zhouye in shock. "Mr. Jiang, you have a place to live, why are you coming to the Jiang residence?"

Jiang Zhouye held up his broken leg with all his strength. "Didn't you see it? My father broke my leg and kicked me out of the house."

"I broke my leg and have nowhere to stay. It's so cold, it could kill me. I can only come to my sister's house to recuperate for a few months."

Hearing this, Qin Beihuang angrily rebuked, "This is ridiculous! How can a single man and a single woman live in the same house?"

Jiang Zhouye snorted disapprovingly, "What a joke! Ning Wan and I grew up together. We both have the surname Jiang, so we're blood siblings. What's wrong with living together?"

"General Qin's thoughts are a bit too much."

As he spoke, Jiang Zhouye glanced at Qin Beihuang with disdain.

"you!"

Jiang Ningwan spoke at the right time: "Come, carry my cousin in."

Then he looked at Qin Beihuang and said, "You see, my cousin has moved in. It's been quite inconvenient. Princess Yi, you should figure out a solution yourself."

After saying that, he turned around and closed the door.

As soon as I turned around, I saw Jiang Zhouye in the yard, taking apart the bamboo boards and jumping around.

She knew he was pretending.

"You really have a way. Does uncle know?" Jiang Ningwan asked with concern.

"My father asked me to come. He said that as long as you need us, we will support you!"

"That old witch Princess Yi doesn't dare to bully Lu Qingheng because she has her brother's support. That's why she dares to bully a woman like you. Your father doesn't care about you, so I have to take action! We can't let them think that the Jiang family has no one left!"

"Only someone more shameless than Princess Yi can deal with a scoundrel like her!" Jiang Zhouye put his hands behind his back with full of momentum.

"My reputation is well-known, they definitely won't dare to provoke me!"

Jiang Ningwan felt a warm feeling in her heart. "Then if I ask you to pretend to be lame for a while, won't that make you sick?"

"Helping you guard the house is more important!"

"In that case, I will definitely treat you well! If you have any requests, just let me know and don't hesitate!" Jiang Ningwan immediately asked someone to order food from the restaurant.

The Jiang residence is very big, and it is very convenient for Jiang Zhouye to move his hands and feet.

It was indeed as Jiang Zhouye said, no one from the general's mansion came again.

In the eyes of outsiders, Jiang Zhouye is an uneducated and uncultured playboy. He has a character that never suffers any loss and has long had a reputation for being difficult to deal with.

Yongning Palace also sent someone to convey a message to her, reassuring her that Qin Wenli had already advised the emperor not to interfere in the affairs of the general's mansion.

In this way, with everyone's help, the house was saved.

Princess Yi moved into Moyun Pavilion, forcing Lu Qingheng to return to her parents' home, unwilling to live in the same courtyard with Princess Yi.

Before we knew it, it was New Year's Eve.

Jiang Ningwan and Jiang Zhouye returned to the Duke's Mansion together, and the family was quite happy.

Until my uncle and Jiang Zhouye left.

The atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

Dad sat in a chair drinking tea and spoke slowly: "Ningwan, Princess Yi's courtyard was burned down, and she wants to move to the Jiang residence for a while. Qin Beihuang came to see me yesterday."

"He said...you're a little inhumane, and he wants to divorce you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's face froze.

Was he going to force her to bring Princess Yi to live in Jiang's house just for his face?

"Then what? He threatens you with this matter, do you really want to succumb to his threat and force me to bring Princess Yi to the Jiang residence?" Jiang Ningwan was a little angry.

Qin Wenli helped her to intercede in front of the emperor, and Jiang Zhouye pretended to be lame and moved into the Jiang residence, all in order to help her protect the Jiang residence. They all knew that once Princess Yi moved in, there would be no possibility of moving out.

Sooner or later, the Jiang residence will become Qin Beihuang's family.

This is a truth that everyone understands, so how could her father not understand it?

She didn't expect her father to help her, but at least he shouldn't help outsiders to harm her.

Jiang Bingde was silent for a moment, then said solemnly, "What I mean is that Qin Beihuang's threat of this matter is really excessive."

"To continue entangled like this will only bring harm and no benefit. If you wish, father will decide whether you and Qin Beihuang can divorce!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan looked at him in shock.

The sun actually rose from the west?

"Really?" Jiang Ningwan was a little skeptical.

Qi, who was standing by, quickly spoke up: "Yes, Qin Beihuang is really going too far. It would be better for us to divorce quickly and have a good time."

Hearing Qi's support, Jiang Ningwan felt that there was something fishy about this matter.

"Okay, it would be great if Dad decides on the divorce." She agreed happily.

The three people present all breathed a sigh of relief, their expressions showing a hint of joy.

After thinking it over, Jiang Bingde said, "Then I will go find Qin Beihuang tomorrow and get a divorce as soon as possible."

"Is there something else urgent that you're in such a hurry for?" Jiang Ningwan was puzzled.

"No, no!" Qi answered quickly, fearing that she would think too much.

The more this happened, the weirder Jiang Ningwan felt.

She had some guesses in her mind.

Suddenly, my father said, "During the Lantern Festival, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu will come to discuss the marriage. You should come back then."

Jiang Ningwan's eyebrows jumped, "Why do you want me to come back?"

Jiang Bingde hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

Qi smiled and said, "Please help us with the marriage between the two families."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan glanced at Jiang Xiru. After meeting her gaze, Jiang Xiru lowered her head guiltily.

Jiang Ningwan understood everything at once.

The slight joy that had just formed in her heart for her father protecting her was instantly extinguished by cold water.

"You want me to divorce because you want me to marry His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu in place of Jiang Xiru, right?"
