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

"I know that my status is not worthy of General Jiang, and General Jiang may not be able to look down on me."

"But I still want to fight for it. I like General Jiang and want to spend the rest of my life with him."

"Many young masters from aristocratic families in Kyoto have the same idea. I just want to tell General Jiang about my strengths so that he can consider it."

"My father said that if I marry into his family, my family will prepare a generous dowry. Eighteen shops in the city, eighteen acres of farmland outside the city, and twenty-eight mansions in various places. In addition, there will be gold, silver, and jade..."

Seeing how sincere he was, Jiang Ningwan was also stunned. She didn't expect that he had even thought of all this.

Just marrying into the wife's family is something that many people cannot do.

His family had even discussed the dowry.

Jiang Ningwan quickly interrupted him: "Mr. Song, your family background, character, and appearance are all excellent. You have already scored second place in the martial arts exam and are currently serving in the city defense camp. You have a bright future ahead of you. You have better choices."

Song Mingyu was surprised, "But General Jiang is also very good!"

Jiang Ningwan nodded, "I know I'm good, but we're not suitable."

"You have options that are more suitable for you, and I don't plan to get married again. I won't be looking for a son-in-law or marrying anyone!"

Now that I have said it today, it is better to speak out.

Hearing her words, Song Mingyu's eyes dimmed.

At this moment, the person behind the rockery relaxed and was about to leave when he stepped on the dead branches, making a noise.

Jiang Ningwan's eyebrows jumped, and she scolded, "Who's eavesdropping?"

After a while, a figure slowly appeared behind the rockery.

Seeing the newcomer, Jiang Ningwan was startled. "Boss Zhu Yan, why are you here? What are you doing here?"

Zhu Yan replied calmly, "I just happened to be passing by and didn't want to disturb the distinguished guests' conversation, so I didn't show up."

Jiang Ningwan didn't really care. After all, they didn't discuss any confidential matters, so she wasn't worried about him hearing. She was just worried about Song Mingyu...

"Since it's Shopkeeper Zhu Yan, I won't worry about it. Our conversation today will definitely not be spread out!"

Zhu Yan nodded slightly, "I didn't hear anything."

Jiang Ningwan thought about making some friends with Zhu Yan. She had originally gone to look for Zhu Yan but was interrupted by Qin Chengqian.

But at this time, Song Jiaoyun came over.

"Mingyu, you're here, I'm so easy to find!"

Song Mingyu was still immersed in his loss, but he didn't want to worry his sister, so he raised his voice and said, "I met General Jiang and Shopkeeper Zhu Yan here and had a chat."

Song Jiaoyun turned to look at Zhu Yan, his eyes suddenly brightening, and he said straight to the point, "Boss Zhu Yan, I heard that you spent quite a bit of money on this lantern banquet."

"If we fail this time, Yunshanyao will really have to close down in the future."

"I really like your Yunshan Yao and hope to come anytime in the future. You have the ability and I have the money, so we can cooperate!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's heart sank.

Song Jiaoyun also likes Yunshan Yao?

broken.

She looked at Zhu Yan, waiting for his answer.

Zhu Yan refused without hesitation, "I appreciate your kindness, but Yunshan Yao doesn't like outsiders to interfere, so I apologize."

Song Jiaoyun quickly said, "I won't interfere with Yunshan Yao's affairs. I'll just pay the money and won't cause any interference to you!"

Zhu Yan said indifferently, "No need. I can still afford Yunshan Yao's current expenses."

After saying that, Zhu Yan walked away.

Jiang Ningwan felt a pang of regret. He was unwilling to even cooperate with Song Jiaoyun.

If she said she wanted to buy Yunshan Yao, wouldn't she be kicked out?

Song Jiaoyun also felt a pang of regret. He looked at Song Mingyu and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"

Song Mingyu shook her head. "Don't think too much, sister. The owner of Yunshan Yao shouldn't be that stingy. He probably just doesn't like to talk to people."

Song Jiaoyun was relieved, but he did not give up.

He immediately chased after him, "Boss Zhu Yan, I am indeed very interested in your Yunshan invitation. Don't be so hasty to reject me. We can get to know each other first."

"I also have quite a few businesses in Kyoto. I usually don't show up in person, but I will offer advice. I think I have a good understanding of how the powerful people in Kyoto run their businesses, and I will definitely not let Yunshanyou suffer any losses."

"I don't ask for much. Just a 10% dividend every year is enough."

But Zhu Yan didn't stop and went straight upstairs, saying calmly, "I told you, it's not necessary."

"Yunshan Yao will not cooperate with the powerful."

After going up to the second floor, Song Jiaoyun wanted to follow in to persuade her, but was stopped by Zhu Qing, "Young lady, please wait!"

Seeing this, Song Jiaoyun had no choice but to leave.

Song Mingyu arrived just in time, "Is it still not working, sister?"

Song Jiaoyun frowned, "I don't know why, but I feel like he doesn't like me very much."

Song Mingyu was surprised. "No way, sister, we have no grudges against each other, how could this happen? You are overthinking it."

Song Jiaoyun came back to his senses and asked him, "You went to see General Jiang alone just now. Did you express your feelings?"

Song Mingyu's eyes suddenly dimmed.

"Rejected?" Song Jiaoyun saw it at a glance.

Song Mingyu nodded and said sadly, "Maybe she looks down on me. In terms of family background, official position, and martial arts, she is better than me in every aspect."

Song Jiaoyun consoled him, "It's not necessarily that she despises you. The King of Chu just passed away not long ago. How can she let go of the relationship she and the King of Chu had gone through, even through life and death?"

"Now that he's dead, she's probably never going to be able to let go. She needs time to forget and start a new life."

"It would be strange if she accepted you at this moment."

Hearing this, Song Mingyu rekindled his hope, "So, I still have a chance?"

Song Jiaoyun nodded. "General Jiang is a man of long-lasting affection. Such a man is actually reliable. If it were any other woman, my parents and I would not agree to marry into his family."

"But General Jiang is reliable. Go ahead and chase him. We all support you!"

Hearing this, Song Mingyu's blood boiled, "I will definitely work hard!"

On the top of the pavilion, Zhu Yan was quietly watching the brother and sister, listening to their conversation, his eyes becoming increasingly gloomy and impatient.

Zhu Qing stepped forward and said, "Master, the Song family is really annoying. How about I kick them out now?"

Zhu Yan's eyes turned cold, "Do you want to reveal your identity?"

"He's just Song Mingyu. After seeing him today, he's nothing special. I don't even take him seriously."

Hearing this, Zhu Qing stopped talking.

I don’t know who made Song Mingyu so angry, as if he had eaten a firecracker.

Just then, Jiang Ningwan came upstairs.

His men did not stop him.

Seeing Zhu Yan standing by the window, she whispered, "Shopkeeper Zhu Yan?"

Zhu Yan was slightly startled, "General Jiang."

"Please take a seat."

As soon as Jiang Ningwan sat down, Zhu Qing immediately poured tea for her. Jiang Ningwan asked tentatively, "It must be difficult for Shopkeeper Zhu to run such a large company like Yunshan Yao?"

Zhu Yan's eyes flashed, "It's not easy."

"General Jiang, what do you think of Yunshan Yao?"

Jiang Ningwan was startled. She had some thoughts, but didn't dare to say them. "No, no, I'm just curious why Yunshan Yao created so many scenes."

"There are so many entrances, each with a different view. The person who designed it is so ingenious. I really want to meet him."
