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

The emperor slowly said, "Third Prince, please confirm whether that is Xie Yongan's head."

Xie Chenyuan stepped forward to check and said, "Yes, this is Xie Yongan."

"But I don't know where they caught him? And how did he die?"

Jiang Ningwan was equally curious.

Xie Chenyuan has been chasing Xie Yongan for so long, and now there are wanted posters everywhere, but there is no news of Xie Yongan.

Suddenly, Xie Yongan's head was placed in front of them.

The emperor said, "This was brought back by Cheng Qian."

"Let him speak."

Then he signaled Hai Dehong to call Qin Chengqian in.

Jiang Ningwan was shocked to find that Qin Chengqian had returned.

Qin Chengqian soon entered the hall and explained, "Your Majesty, this Xie Yongan is still harboring evil intentions and is trying to instigate me to help him kill Xie Chenyuan. I know Your Majesty has issued a wanted order, so I feigned agreement to gain his trust and then look for an opportunity to kill him."

"Xie Yongan's methods are extraordinary, so I have no choice but to kill him immediately to prevent him from escaping."

This explanation is quite reasonable.

Xie Yongan had worked with Qin Chengqian last year, so it's not surprising that he wants to look for him again when something happens.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, "Finally, you are not confused!"

"Xie Yongan's matter is settled, you can take the head away, Third Prince."

Xie Chenyuan agreed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for helping me get rid of this great threat."

Then a few people took Xie Yongan's head and left.

Qin Chengqian remained in the palace, "Father, I am also ready to return to the imperial mausoleum."

"I just have something I want to ask Father!"

The emperor said gently, "You say."

I haven't seen Qin Chengqian for a long time. He seems to have calmed down a lot. I feel a little reluctant to keep him in the imperial mausoleum.

"Because I was punished to go to the imperial mausoleum, Xiru became pregnant but did not dare to announce it, fearing that the child would have an accident. So she hid it from my father and the Jiang family and gave birth to the child secretly in the suburbs of Beijing."

"It's a boy."

"I would like to ask for mercy from the Emperor, Father, and ask if you can bring them back to the palace to look after them? Living outside, I always feel uneasy."

Upon hearing this, the emperor was surprised, and then overjoyed.

"What? She has already given birth to a child? Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

"Since it's your child, he should stay in the palace. How can he live outside the capital? You don't have to go to the imperial mausoleum anymore. Just take good care of them in the palace."

Hearing this, Qin Chengqian was delighted, "Yes! Your son thanks you, Father!"

The emperor was also in a very good mood and asked, "Has the child been named yet?"

Qin Chengqian replied, "Xiru gave herself the nickname Huaijin."

"Please ask Father to give me a name."

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Huai Jin is fine. Let's use this name."

"Yes." A hint of disappointment flashed across Qin Chengqian's eyes.

As expected, he is not the emperor's eldest grandson, so they didn't even bother to give him a name.

But now that I'm back in the palace, at least the first step is accomplished.

"Father, there is one more thing I have no right to say, but for your safety, I would like to say something."

"That Lady Ni was Xie Yongan's former lover. Now that Xie Yongan is dead, I'm afraid Lady Ni might harbor resentment. Staying with my father for a long time would be detrimental to him."

Hearing this, the emperor thought for a moment and nodded.

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. You're right to remind me! This person can't stay!"

"Someone, capture the beautiful Neon!"

But it was still too late. When Hai Dehong led people to capture Ni Meiren, she was no longer in the palace.

The palace immediately began a large-scale search for Lady Ni.

……

As soon as Jiang Ningwan and others left the palace, they learned that the emperor had asked Qin Chengqian and Jiang Xiru to return to the palace.

Jiang Ningwan chuckled, "I was wondering why Jiang Xiru bought the child, it turns out she was going to use it here."

Xie Chenyuan was puzzled, "Buy a child?"

Jiang Ningwan then explained the whole story.

After hearing this, Xie Chenyuan was a little surprised. "It seems that Xie Yongan's death also paved the way for Qin Chengqian to return to Beijing."

Jiang Ningwan glanced at the box in his arms and said, "This can be considered as solving a major problem. After you return to Dayan, everything should go much more smoothly."

Without Xie Yongan, Xie Chenyuan is very likely to be the future heir to the throne.

Xie Chenyuan nodded, "That's right, I can rest assured now."

"It's just that the matter has been resolved. I'm afraid I can't stay in Daning for long."

Although he came for Xie Yongan, his main purpose was to see his sister and nephew and spend some time with them.

Just as the carriage returned to Prince Chu's Mansion, people from Duke Jiang's Mansion suddenly arrived.

"General Jiang, the Duke said that the Second Miss has returned home and will be entering the palace soon. He hopes that General Jiang will go and see her off."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan frowned, "He's just entering the palace, not going to die. Do you want me to see him off personally?"

The other party looked embarrassed and said, "General Jiang, please give me some face, otherwise I will definitely be punished when I return."

Jiang Ningwan had no choice but to agree, "I'll go later."

"Thank you, General Jiang!"

After sending Xie Chenyuan off, Jiang Ningwan took a carriage back to Duke Jiang's Mansion.

When she arrived at Duke Jiang's Mansion, the scene was bigger than she had expected.

The mansion was very lively. Jiang Xiru was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked extremely noble. Qi was holding the child and chatting and laughing with Jiang Bingde.

"Duke, look, you have a little grandson now. He looks quite similar to you."

Jiang Bingde was also very happy, and he played with the child's hand with his fingers. "How can a child of this age tell what is similar or not? Only when he grows up can he tell."

"You mother and daughter are truly despicable. You even hid Xiru's pregnancy from me! You gave birth secretly in a courtyard outside the capital! With the eldest prince away, couldn't I protect the child?"

Jiang Bingde was a little angry when he mentioned this matter, but at this moment he was more happy than angry.

After all, this is his grandson.

Jiang Xiru stood up and bowed to apologize, "The eldest prince was punished to the imperial mausoleum at that time. I was really scared, so I resorted to this desperate measure. I hope father will not blame me."

Jiang Bingde also slowed down his tone, "Forget it, the past is the past."

"We are a family. We will support each other from now on. There is no need to hide anything."

At this time, Jiang Ningwan arrived.

Jiang Bingde was even happier.

"You came at the perfect time. It's a great reunion for our family to have lunch together."

"From now on, this little grandson will enter the palace, and there will be fewer opportunities to see him."

Jiang Xiru quickly said, "I will leave the palace often and bring the children to see Dad."

Jiang Bingde was overjoyed, "That's great!"

Afterwards, the family gathered together for a meal, and everyone was surrounding Jiang Xiru.

Jiang Bingde mentioned his little grandson all the time.

Even Renyan was ignored, and it was obvious that Renyan felt a little lost.

After dinner, Jiang Ningwan said to Renyan, "Renyan, I haven't checked on your martial arts for a long time. How is your learning going now? Have you made any progress?"

Renyan immediately smiled and said, "I'm really powerful now. None of my fellow students in the martial arts school can match me!"

Jiang Ningwan chuckled, "Then I'm going to test you!"

Then he took Renyan to the yard to see how his martial arts skills were progressing.

At this time, Jiang Xiru walked over and stood beside her, looking at Jiang Renyan who was practicing sword not far away, looking very proud.

"Sister, you didn't expect that now that I have a child, everything is so different."

"Father only has eyes for me and my little grandson, but not for you."

Jiang Ningwan didn't care and smiled faintly, "It doesn't matter whether it exists or not."
