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

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the three people changed.

After being exposed, they were so embarrassed that they were speechless for a while.

Jiang Ningwan laughed at herself, "Dad, I thought you really wanted to protect me, so you suggested that Qin Beihuang and I divorce."

"So, you want me to marry in your place?"

"Why, Jiang Xiru doesn't want to marry, so you want me to marry? She is your daughter, am I not?"

She didn't understand why people could be so biased.

Jiang Bingde frowned and remained silent.

He also knew that he was not in the right in this matter, and that asking Jiang Ningwan to marry in his place was ultimately unfair.

Seeing that she could no longer hide it, Qi simply stopped pretending and said, "The King of Chu is disabled. It would be so unfair for your sister to marry him."

Jiang Ningwan clenched her palms, "She felt wronged when she married him, but I don't feel wronged?"

Qi blurted out: "Why are you feeling wronged by marrying a second time? You are a perfect match for the King of Chu."

At that moment, anger rose.

Jiang Ningwan clenched her knuckles until they turned white, and turned to look at her father.

Qi looked down on her and belittled her like this, but her father didn't react at all.

Suppress your emotions.

Jiang Ningwan spoke calmly, "I don't think the King of Chu is inferior just because he's disabled. His leg was broken while trying to recover the northern lands. He's a respectable man."

"But Qi is full of grievances, belittling me and looking down on me. She keeps saying that I'm not as good as Jiang Xiru. Dad, you are so silent, I guess you agree with her."

Jiang Bingde remained silent.

Jiang Ningwan looked at him disappointedly, stood up and left.

Qi complained dissatisfiedly, "His temper is getting worse and worse. I don't know who he inherited it from."

Before New Year's Eve was over, Jiang Ningwan had already left the Duke's Mansion. Li Chun hurriedly followed, "Miss, are you going back now?"

"I'm walking alone, no need to follow me."

Jiang Ningwan walked alone on the street.

Tonight is New Year's Eve, and every family is reunited. Although the streets are deserted, laughter can be heard from the houses. Looking at the lights of thousands of homes, Jiang Ningwan's heart is filled with longing.

After walking for a long time in the night wind, the sound of a carriage suddenly came from behind.

He came quickly and stopped beside her.

Li Chun poked her head out and said, "Miss, the waiter from Huichuntang just reported that the person you are waiting for has appeared at No. 32 Qingping Lane!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's eyebrows jumped.

He immediately got on the carriage and said, "Let's go!"

The carriage quickly headed towards Qingping Lane.

Jiang Ningwan was nervous and excited. If she could catch Lin Qinglai and get a confession from her, she could prove her grandfather's innocence!

However, when she arrived at Qingping Lane, a waiter ran up to her and said, "Miss, the mother and daughter have been taken away!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's expression changed, "Who took him away?"

"I don't know. Two men dressed as guards took the mother and daughter onto a carriage and headed in that direction! Hanging on the carriage was a red tassel with a wooden plaque bearing the Chinese character Qin."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan immediately untied the carriage, jumped on the horse and chased in the direction the waiter pointed.

The red tassel on the wooden plaque with the word Qin.

She has seen it.

Only the King of Chu's carriage would have red tassels!

Why did the King of Chu take Lin Qinglai and her daughter away?

She rode her horse in pursuit and happened to see two carriages going in two different directions at the intersection.

Jiang Ningwan caught up and checked, and saw a red tassel with a wooden sign with the word Qin on it, so she stopped it immediately.

"Who's in the car? Can you please move over and talk?"

We can't just let Lin Qinglai go like this! Otherwise, who knows when we'll be able to catch her next time!

The carriage slowly opened, and a cold figure sat inside.

Qin Shuangchi raised his eyes and looked directly at her, his slightly cold eyes carrying a hint of oppression, "What do you want to discuss with me?"

Jiang Ningwan was slightly startled.

Why is he in the carriage?

The carriage was too big and dimly lit, so I couldn't see if there were other people hiding.

"Let's talk about...marriage." Jiang Ningwan made up an excuse.

Qin Shuangchi's eyes flashed, "Come up."

Jiang Ningwan immediately jumped off the horse and got on the King of Chu's carriage. After sitting down, she looked inside the carriage carefully and even knocked under the seat, but there was no movement, so it didn't seem like there were two people hiding.

But since the Huichuntang servant saw it with his own eyes and even saw the red tassel on the carriage, it must be true.

I wonder if the other carriage that left at the fork in the road was also from the Prince of Chu's Palace.

"What are you looking for?" Qin Shuangchi's voice was slightly cold.

"Nothing, just checking if His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu's carriage is safe."

The carriage slowly headed towards Prince Chu's Palace, and Jiang Ningwan wanted to follow and take a look.

"Do you want to talk yourself, or does the Duke's Mansion want to talk?" Qin Shuangchi asked.

"Myself."

"Your Highness, Prince Chu, it's not like someone like you would be bound by a piece of paper engagement. Have you ever thought about canceling the engagement?"

Her father had this idea today and would definitely try to get her to marry in his place.

It would be best if the King of Chu canceled the engagement, so she wouldn't have to worry about dealing with the Duke's Mansion.

Qin Shuangchi's palms tightened, and a hint of displeasure appeared between his brows. "A person like this king? What kind of person? A cripple, right?"

"It turns out that this prince married into the Duke's family, and you came to persuade him to break off the engagement."

Jiang Ningwan was startled and suddenly panicked, "No, no, no, that's not what I meant."

The King of Chu has a really weird temper and is hard to please.

"Then what do you mean? You want to cancel the engagement, isn't it because you dislike me for being a cripple?"

Jiang Ningwan wanted to explain: "I..."

"Okay, get off!" Qin Shuangchi shouted coldly.

The carriage stopped.

Jiang Ningwan felt embarrassed to stay and had to get off the carriage.

The carriage moved on.

Qin Shuangchi's palms tightened slightly, his eyes darkened, and a hint of loss flashed across them.

Jiang Ningwan stood there and watched the carriage go away, feeling unwilling. Where did Lin Qinglai and her daughter go?

No, she couldn't just give up like this.

Thinking about it, she chased after the carriage again, "Prince, wait for me."

Qin Shuangchi was slightly startled when he heard the shouting from behind, "Stop."

After the carriage stopped, Jiang Ningwan got on immediately.

Without waiting for Qin Shuangchi to speak, he immediately explained: "Your Highness, I must explain clearly that I do not mean to despise you for your disability. Your leg was injured when you recovered the Northland. The contributions you made to the Daning Kingdom cannot be erased. Your limp is your merit, not a defect!"

"I just asked casually about canceling the engagement. I really didn't mean anything else."

I originally wanted to persuade him to cancel the engagement, but this big Buddha has a bad temper, so I didn't dare to mention it again.

A faint smile flashed across Qin Shuangchi's lips, and his tone was slightly cold: "Slippery tongue."

Seeing that he didn't seem so angry anymore, Jiang Ningwan quickly changed the subject: "Tonight is New Year's Eve, will the prince be spending it alone?"

Qin Shuangchi was silent.

Jiang Ningwan continued, "If Your Highness doesn't mind, could I come over for a cup of tea? I was really cold after the wind."

Qin Shuangchi said calmly: "If you are not afraid of being gossiped about, it's up to you."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan chuckled, "What's there to be afraid of?"

Isn't there enough gossip about her?

Although these were all gossips that were detrimental to Qin Beihuang's family, in the eyes of the world, it was not a good reputation for a woman to be constantly talked about.

When I arrived at the Prince Chu's Mansion, I found that it was even more deserted than the Jiang residence.

Jiang Ningwan looked around. "The Prince of Chu's Mansion is truly magnificent. Can I take a walk around?"

"It's up to you." Qin Shuangchi tightened his dark cloak and returned to the house in a wheelchair.

Since no one cared about her, Jiang Ningwan walked around the mansion boldly, trying to find Lin Qinglai and her daughter.
