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

Li Chun spoke so seriously that Fan Shixian felt a chill down her spine and a wave of fear.

"But are there assassins during the day?"

Li Chun nodded, "There are many! There are all kinds of assassins who sneaked in."

"Anyone who approaches the inner courtyard without permission and whose face is unknown to the guards will be arrested."

"Fortunately, I came quickly, otherwise it would have been a disaster!"

Li Chun hurriedly took Fan Shixian away and led her back to the kitchen.

"Miss Fan, you'd better stop running around, otherwise it's easy to get into trouble."

Fan Shixian didn't dare to run around. After she came to her senses in the kitchen, she quickly found an excuse to leave the house.

Lichun walked her out and said, "Miss Fan, please come back when you have time."

After hearing this, Fan Shixian quickened her pace and fled from the Prince Chu's Mansion.

After this day, Fan Shixian never dared to go to the Prince of Chu's Mansion again.

She could only wait patiently to get married. Once she married into the palace, the guards would naturally recognize her and it would be easier for her to enter and leave the courtyard.

……

In the afternoon, Jiang Ningwan had just returned to Kyoto City from the army when someone from Huichun Hall suddenly called her over.

"Miss, there's some movement in the villa you asked me to keep an eye on."

"Early this morning, a woman from the other courtyard left through the back door. I haven't seen her in the past few months I've been watching her."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was slightly startled, "Are Jiang Xiru and Qi still in the other courtyard?"

"Still."

Jiang Ningwan was confused as to what Jiang Xiru and Qi were doing.

She had previously discovered that Jiang Xiru and Qi were not in the Duke's Mansion, so she conducted a private investigation and determined Jiang Xiru's whereabouts.

The mother and daughter bought a small house on the outskirts of the city and stayed in it every day without going out.

She occasionally went to the Duke's Mansion, and Fang Yunxin told her that Jiang Xi wrote back as usual, and lied to Jiang Bingde that she was accompanying the eldest prince to reflect, so Jiang Bingde never looked for her.

It's been almost a year since I started hiding.

Because there was no movement in the house, Jiang Ningwan didn't care.

Now there is movement.

"Where is the woman who left?"

"In Xiangliu Town, our guys are keeping an eye on him. You'll see him when you get there."

Jiang Ningwan set off immediately and rushed to Xiangliu Town.

In the past few months, there was a maid in the villa where Jiang Xiru lived who went out to buy groceries regularly. Apart from that, no one else came out of the house.

Because the house was remote, she was afraid of disturbing Jiang Xiru, so she didn't ask about the situation in the house.

Now someone suddenly came out of the house, she had to ask clearly.

It was already dark when we arrived at Xiangliu Town.

The waiter from Huichuntang had already taken the woman to the inn to look after her.

When Jiang Ning arrived late, the woman was sitting on a stool, looking anxious.

"You...what on earth do you want to do by arresting me?" the woman was very panicked.

Jiang Ningwan looked at her, her face pale and haggard.

Although it is autumn and the weather is slightly cool, the woman is still wearing too much.

As if it can't stand the wind.

"You came out of the villa in Dafeng Village on the outskirts of the city. Have you been living there all this time?"

The woman's expression suddenly became panicked, and she nervously clutched her sleeves. "I...I don't know what you are talking about?"

Jiang Ningwan simply took out the token and said, "I am the commander of the Lingwei Army. The people in that house are involved in a murder case. Since you are involved, you must cooperate with us to investigate and clear your name."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to stay in jail."

These words frightened the woman so much that her face turned pale instantly and she was extremely shocked.

"What? A... a murder?"

She fell to her knees in fear, "General, I know nothing! That mother and daughter just bought my son..."

The woman quickly pulled out a stack of banknotes from her bosom and placed them on the table with trembling hands. "I only took this much money from them, nothing else!"

"I don't know anything!"

Jiang Ningwan was shocked when she heard this, "Bought your son?"

The woman cried and said, "I had just become pregnant when my husband broke his leg while chopping wood. Our family had no money to treat him, so he died."

"I went looking for work everywhere. Someone introduced me to a wealthy family whose wife couldn't have children. They wanted a woman who had just gotten pregnant. If the diagnosis confirmed that the baby was a boy, they would take care of me for ten months, allowing me to give birth to the child safely. They would also give me a large sum of money. So I went."

"No, it's just over a month since I gave birth."

"I didn't know they could be connected to the murder case."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan suddenly realized that Jiang Xiru was trying to use someone else's child to pass him off as her own.

They specifically want a male fetus, so their purpose is very obvious.

"Write down what you said later, sign and seal it, and you can leave."

"thanks, thanks!"

After getting the testimony, Jiang Ningwan released her.

Someone was specially sent to send her away far away to prevent Jiang Xiru from silencing her.

Jiang Ningwan also returned the three thousand taels that Jiang Xiru had given her, which was enough for her to live a stable life.

……

In another courtyard.

Jiang Xiru and Qi were coaxing the child in the room.

"This boy really looks a bit like you." Qi looked at the child in her arms and treated him like her own grandson.

"It's best if they look alike. If they don't, that's fine too." Jiang Xiru raised the corners of her lips slightly. "As long as his father believes it, that's enough."

Qi smiled and asked, "When will you tell the eldest prince this good news?"

Jiang Xiru's face froze. When she thought of Qin Chengqian, she felt only disgust.

"This father may not be him."

The smile on Qi's face froze, "If it's not him, then who is it?"

Jiang Xiru's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and she smiled faintly, "Whoever makes me the queen will be the father of the child."

Qi looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.

She knew that Xiru's ambition was too big. She had been fighting with Jiang Ningwan for so many years that it had become an obsession in her heart.

He only wanted to have a higher status and a better life than Jiang Ningwan.

But becoming the queen is not that easy...

At this moment, Jiang Xiru only hopes for Xie Yongan.

I just hope Xie Yongan can fulfill his promise quickly and come to pick her and the child up as soon as possible.

However, the joy of having this child did not last long.

The bad news came.

The envoys from Dayan will arrive in Kyoto soon, bringing generous gifts to celebrate the little prince's full moon.

And this envoy was actually Xie Chenyuan!

Xie Chenyuan is still alive!

Jiang Ningwan also received the news suddenly and immediately went out of the city to meet him.

When Jiang Ningwan really saw Xie Chenyuan, she was extremely excited.

"General Jiang, long time no see!" Xie Chenyuan immediately dismounted.

The two of them were beaming with joy and gave each other a friendly hug.

"Great, you're still alive! I knew you were lucky!"

Qin Beihuang once said that the world of Dayan would eventually belong to Xie Yongan, and Xie Chenyuan would definitely die. She had been worried about this for a long time.

There has been no news from Dayan for such a long time that she has long lost hope.

I didn't expect such good news to come so suddenly.

The last time we parted, I watched Xie Chenyuan embark on a journey where his life and death were uncertain. Now that I see him succeed safely, I am both happy and moved.

Xie Chenyuan was also very excited. "Actually, after we parted last time, I could sense that I was walking down a dead end. I had no hope of surviving."

"Speaking of which, you are really my lucky star!"

Jiang Ningwan was surprised, "Me?"

Xie Chenyuan nodded, "After I returned to the palace and saw my father, I used the extremely cold ice silkworm to save him, but failed."

“But unexpectedly, cats are useful!”

"This is the method you told me! Look, you saved me!"

When Xie Chenyuan thinks back on it now, he also finds it amazing.
