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

A while after applying the medicine, Zhu Qing appeared, "Master, the young master of the Song family is here."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan withdrew his hand, and Zhu Yan also stood up and walked towards the stairs.

Soon, Song Mingyu hurried over, anxiously passed Zhu Yan, and ran straight to Jiang Ningwan.

"General Jiang, how is your hand?"

Jiang Ningwan raised her hand and looked at it. "It's okay, it's been bandaged."

Seeing that the bandage was so good, Song Mingyu was slightly stunned. It seemed that there were only General Jiang and Shopkeeper Zhu Yan upstairs just now.

Was it bandaged by Zhu Yan?

Is he so careful?

He doesn't look like someone who would bandage a customer himself.

"Is your sister okay?" Jiang Ningwan asked.

Jiang Ningwan's words brought Song Mingyu back to his senses. "She's fine. No broken bones. She'll be fine after some rest."

Jiang Ningwan nodded, "It's getting late, I should go back."

"Mr. Song, do you have time for us to talk alone?"

Hearing this, Song Mingyu was slightly stunned and his heart leaped with joy.

This was the first time General Jiang took the initiative to talk to him alone.

"Yes!" He nodded excitedly, his eyes bright.

Then the two went downstairs together, and Jiang Ningwan and Song Mingyu left Yunshan Yao first.

I found a secluded tea stall in the city and sat down.

At this moment, snowflakes began to float in the sky, and soon all that came into view was a vast expanse of white.

Song Mingyu poured her some hot tea, unable to conceal her excitement. "Is General Jiang cold sitting here? Why don't we go upstairs to the warm room?"

"It's not cold, it's nice to have some fresh air." Jiang Ningwan said.

She took a sip of tea and then got straight to the point: "I know you mentioned marrying into the family before because you wanted to help your sister arrange a marriage with the eldest prince."

"Now that your sister's marriage has been settled, there's no need to talk about marrying into the family. Many ministers in the court are aware of this matter. If it gets out, it won't be good for you or me. Let's just leave it at that."

"The Song family has offended the eldest prince, but the third prince will definitely protect you. If you encounter any difficulties or troubles, you can seek help from the third prince."

After hearing this, Song Mingyu's expression gradually turned ugly. He understood that General Jiang wanted to draw a clear line between them.

"Did I do something wrong? I only told General Jiang about marrying into the family, and I don't know how the ministers in the court knew about it."

"If General Jiang minds, I will never mention it again!"

"Is General Jiang just going to draw a line between us? Will I still be able to have tea with General Jiang in the future?"

Song Mingyu clutched his sleeves nervously.

Jiang Ningwan smiled and said, "If you have time, drinking tea is certainly no problem."

"It's just that you've only just joined the city defense camp, and now you've offended the eldest prince. Although the former queen is gone, the power that the Zhou family has cultivated in the past cannot be underestimated. A lean camel is bigger than a horse, so you can't be negligent or slack off."

"You should prioritize your career, do your job conscientiously, and don't let anyone catch you."

He also understood this.

You can drink tea, but only when you have time.

If we ask him to be more motivated, he will obviously have no time.

It also means that I don't want to meet him again.

"I understand."

"I have caused more troubles to General Jiang during this period." Song Mingyu's eyes were dim.

Jiang Ningwan noticed that he was in a low mood, but she cut the Gordian knot.

"It's snowing heavily, and I have things to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Song Mingyu was stunned. "Aren't you going to leave after the snow stops?"

"There's no snow on the road yet, so it's still easy to walk on. If it snows for a long time, the snow will accumulate and the road will be slippery." After saying that, Jiang Ningwan got up and left.

He disappeared down the street without looking back.

Song Mingyu looked at the still hot cup of tea and the empty stool in front of him, feeling heavy-hearted.

Thinking that this was the third time he was rejected, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Does he still have the courage to endure the fourth and fifth times?

……

Yunshan invites you.

Song Jiaoyun was still drinking hot tea in the pavilion. After waiting for a while, she found out that Song Mingyu and Jiang Ningwan had left together.

My heart suddenly felt a little more at ease.

The more time they spent alone together, the more likely it would be to succeed.

Just as she was about to get up and go back, she saw Zhu Yan appear. She hurriedly held onto the table and limped two steps.

"I heard my brother has left?"

Zhu Yan said calmly, "Yes."

"Consider this meal my treat. Miss Song, you don't need to solicit any business for Yunshan from now on."

"The reopening of Yunshan is not about making money, but about providing a place for like-minded people to relax and unwind. The more people there, the better."

"It's clear that Miss Song doesn't know much about Yunshan Yao, and she doesn't understand what I mean by not cooperating with the powerful."

"Miss Song, just remember that Yunshan Yao will never cooperate with you."

After saying that, Zhu Yan turned and left.

Song Jiaoyun's heart trembled and she clutched her sleeves tightly. Before she could even open her mouth to say what she wanted to say, Zhu Yan left without even listening.

She chased after him unwillingly, "Shopkeeper Zhuyan!"

"You said I don't understand Yunshan Yao, but you don't understand me either!"

"I sincerely wanted to cooperate with you. I just used what I thought was the right method, and it was all out of kindness. Why does Shopkeeper Zhu Yan think I'm meddling in your business?"

"Even if we don't cooperate, we can still be friends. Why put it so decisively?"

Song Jiaoyun felt suffocated and blurted out everything.

But this did not bring her any relief. Instead, her heart felt even more suffocated, as if an angry punch had hit cotton.

Because Zhu Yan didn't say anything, didn't even look back, and just left.

He didn't even want to say a word to her.

Her explanation fell on deaf ears.

Watching the figure walk away, Song Jiaoyun's eyes filled with tears.

Why treat her like this!

Song Jiaoyun took out her purse and threw it on the table. She could still afford the meal!

Then he left angrily.

Zhu Qing, who was standing on the pavilion, saw this and shook his head, "It's only been a short time since we opened, and we've already offended a distinguished guest."

At this time, Zhu Yan came up and said in a slightly cold tone: "It's a relief, not an offense to a distinguished guest."

Zhu Qing stepped forward quickly, "Master, isn't the Song family on good terms with General Jiang? Why are you..."

Zhu Yan sat down slowly, "You won't understand even if I tell you."

Zhu Qing hesitated to speak, "I..."

……

The streets were covered with snow.

Song Jiaoyun and Song Mingyu walked home at the same time. When they met at the door of their house, they were both covered in snow.

"Sister, why did you walk back? Didn't Yunshan Yao send you off?"

Song Jiaoyun's eyes were red and she was in a low mood. "Send it to me? You wish I could be as far away from Yunshan Yao as possible."

"I don't know what prejudice he has against me, but he always seems to be indifferent."

"He was obviously much more gentle with General Jiang."

Hearing the name "General Jiang", Song Mingyu's eyes dimmed. "General Jiang treats everyone kindly, but even a soft knife can hurt..."

Hearing this, Song Jiaoyun looked at him in confusion, "Why? Your relationship with General Jiang hasn't progressed further?"

Song Mingyu sighed: "How can we take a step forward? We have taken several steps back."

The brother and sister looked at each other and returned home dejectedly.

As they were almost at the inner courtyard, Song Mingyu suddenly realized something was wrong. "No, sister, it's just that Yunshan Yao, the shopkeeper, doesn't want to cooperate with you. Why are you so sad?"

"You don't... you don't like Zhu Yan, do you?"

Song Jiaoyun's expression changed and he hit him, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

After saying that, she ran away quickly.

Song Mingyu looked at Song Jiaoyun's brisk pace. It was not like this when he was invited by Yunshan!

He was surprised and said, "You really like him, and you're pretending to be lame!"
