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

After these words were spoken, the imperial study fell silent for a moment.

Even Eunuch Hai's face suddenly changed, he was extremely shocked, and he couldn't help but worry about Jiang Ningwan. He carefully glanced at the emperor's expression.

The emperor was silent, a flash of shock passed through his eyes, and his expression was serious. "You said you want to divorce Qin Beihuang?"

"You know, since ancient times, no woman has ever divorced her husband."

Jiang Ningwan raised her head, her expression determined, "Then I will be the first one!"

The emperor was extremely shocked. He thought that piercing the sky meant asking Qin Beihuang to divorce Lu Qingheng.

But I didn't expect that she actually wanted to divorce her husband.

He confirmed again in disbelief: "I ask you again, you are not saying this out of spite? You are not trying to force Qin Beihuang to divorce Lu Qingheng?"

Jiang Ningwan answered firmly, "Qin Beihuang is ungrateful. He allowed Lu Qingheng to repeatedly harm me, insulting me at every turn, and even forcing me to use my dowry to support his entire family. My relationship with him is over, and only resentment remains."

"Now he wants to demote me to a concubine. I would rather die than suffer such humiliation! With my achievements in curing the epidemic and this golden crane jade pendant, I beg the Emperor to grant me an imperial decree to divorce me!"

"Every word I said came from my heart. I wasn't angry, and I wasn't asking Qin Beihuang to divorce Lu Qingheng. On the contrary, I hope their relationship will last forever."

Every word and sentence was sonorous and powerful, showing pride.

The emperor was shocked, and he seemed to see Ling Yaoqin again.

They are mother and daughter, and even their personalities are so similar.

Rather Stick to your guns.

No wonder he took out this golden crane jade pendant.

After a long silence, the emperor's palms tightened slightly, he felt a little embarrassed and did not answer for a long time.

Just then, the Queen Mother came to the Imperial Study.

"Mother, why are you here?" The emperor quickly stood up and went forward to support her.

The Queen Mother said frankly, "In fact, I have known for a long time that she wanted to divorce her husband. It is not easy for her to endure until now. Such tenacity and backbone are rare among women in this world."

"During this period, he has made great contributions, both large and small. Although not as great as the military achievements of Qin Beihuang and his wife, I feel that Ning Wan's character is no less than that of a man, and she is a promising talent."

"What's more, it was Qin Beihuang and Lu Qingheng who wronged her first."

The meaning of the Queen Mother's words was very clear.

The emperor thought about it and nodded thoughtfully, "My only concern is that Qin Beihuang is your grandson, and I'm afraid you won't be willing to let him go."

"Since the Queen Mother has said so, then naturally my son agrees."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ningwan immediately kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace!"

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then looked at her helplessly, "Go back and wait, I will draft an imperial decree for your divorce."

"Yes! I'll take my leave!" Jiang Ningwan finally let go of her worries.

This time, thanks to the Queen Mother speaking for her, the Emperor was able to agree so readily.

Now we are just waiting for the imperial edict to come down and cut off all ties with Qin Beihuang!

But two days later, before the imperial decree for divorce came down, the Qin family sent someone to invite her back to the general's mansion.

Grand Tutor Qin, who is over seventy years old, has arrived.

Jiang Ningwan knew that Qin Beihuang was going to demote her to a concubine.

This Grand Tutor Qin is currently the most respected elder in the royal family. He is over seventy years old and is the teacher of the current emperor, the crown prince and the third prince. Now he is enjoying his retirement and no longer cares about state affairs and rarely goes out.

It must have taken a lot of effort for Qin Beihuang to be able to invite him.

Grand Tutor Qin is old, and it is not easy for him to come out. We cannot let him make a wasted trip.

As he was thinking, Jiang Ningwan had already arrived at the general's mansion.

The atmosphere in the main hall was serious.

Grand Tutor Qin, with his white hair and beard, was leaning on a crutch, sitting firmly on a chair, looking very imposing.

Princess Yi and several other elders sat on both sides.

Qin Beihuang was also there, with a cold and arrogant look on his face, not even looking at Jiang Ningwan.

Grand Tutor Qin placed the family tree beside him and spoke slowly, "Jiang Ningwan, I called you here today because of a family matter."

"Qin Beihuang accused you of disrespecting your elders, repeatedly contradicting and even assaulting your mother-in-law, repeatedly slapping your sister-in-law, beating servants, and insulting and beating your husband. Is this true?"

There are quite a lot of charges listed against her.

"That's true, but..."

Boom!

Master Qin slammed his cane on the ground, a chill flashed in his cloudy eyes, and his angry voice interrupted Jiang Ningwan's words.

"You immoral woman, there's no need to make excuses!"

"Today, Qin Beihuang proposes to remove your name from the family tree and demote you to a concubine! Do you have any objections?"

Jiang Ningwan raised the corner of her lips coldly, "Of course."

"I don't think I'm immoral, and Qin Beihuang has no right to demote me to a concubine."

Grand Tutor Qin's expression was serious and gloomy, with anger in his eyes about to burst out.

Prince Yi was also a student of Grand Tutor Qin. Almost all the royal family members had received instruction from Grand Tutor Qin. As a descendant of the Qin royal family, he would of course unconditionally protect the royal descendants.

How could I bear to see my own child being bullied like this by a woman?

"You want to say that you need to consider the Duke's face when demoting you to a concubine, but before coming here, I met with Duke Jiang, and he agreed with this matter."

"Even your own father thinks you're immoral, and you're still insisting you're not at all wrong?"

Her heart, which had always been calm, suddenly felt like it was stabbed by a knife. Waves of stabbing pain came over her, and Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but clench her fingers.

The hurt caused by the people closest to us is indeed the deepest.

She suppressed the sourness in her nose and said coldly, "If you want to demote me to a concubine, even if my father agrees, the emperor will not agree."

Grand Tutor Qin snorted coldly: "You have such an arrogant tone!"

Qin Beihuang could no longer sit still and retorted, "You are simply relying on your merits in curing the epidemic. I dare not demote you to a concubine."

"You've already admitted to every charge. It doesn't matter whether you agree or not. I've made up my mind!"

Jiang Ningwan sneered and couldn't help but ask, "If you hate me so much, why don't you just divorce me? Instead, you go to all the trouble of demoting me to a concubine?"

Qin Beihuang angrily said, "That's because of Duke Jiang's honor. Otherwise, I would have divorced you!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan felt as if she had heard a huge joke.

"Hahaha, that's ridiculous!"

"You want to demote me to a concubine, and you've already trampled on my father's reputation, but now you say you won't divorce me for my father's sake."

"So I've been demoted to a concubine, and I should be grateful and thank you!"

Seeing Qin Beihuang's increasingly ugly expression, Jiang Ningwan slowly put away her smile and said sharply, "Actually, you're reluctant to part with my dowry, right?"

"As long as I am a member of your general's mansion, you can find ways to force me to give you my dowry and my money."

"You can use my mother's letters and so-called care to threaten me to obey you."

"They can even use something like the blood-draining grass to kill me and then embezzle all my property."

As she spoke, Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but applaud, "What a good plan!"

"General Qin, it's such a waste to use all this thought and planning on me."

As soon as these words were spoken, no one present had a good face.

"What nonsense!" Qin Beihuang was so angry that his face turned green and he raised his hand angrily.

Jiang Ningwan easily caught his falling wrist and pushed it away fiercely, raising her eyebrows and smiling, "You're getting angry out of shame, so I was right?"

Qin Beihuang was so angry that he could not argue. He turned to look at Grand Tutor Qin, who looked confused and suspicious at this moment.

If Jiang Ningwan continued to talk and distort the truth, even Grand Tutor Qin would not stand on his side.

"Okay! Since you have such doubts, then I have nothing to worry about."

"Today I will grant your wish. I will divorce you!"

Compared to Qin Beihuang's angry roar at the moment, Jiang Ningwan was calm and composed, and spoke each word with force -

"No, I'm the one who wants to divorce you!"
