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

Song Jiaoyun was also a little surprised to see them, "What a coincidence, General Jiang, you are all here."

“I am also gathering here with several sisters.”

Jiang Ningwan nodded politely, "What a coincidence."

Song Jiaoyun looked around and asked curiously, "I wonder if General Jiang has seen Shopkeeper Zhu Yan? I've been here every day these past few days and haven't seen him once."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was startled and turned to look at Qin Shuangchi.

Isn’t Shopkeeper Zhu Yan sitting here?

Ever since his identity was restored, he handed over the Yunshan invitation to his subordinates and never came again.

If it is not necessary, who would like to hide and wear a mask?

"Do you have something to do with him?" Jiang Ningwan asked.

Song Jiaoyun said, "The flower viewing banquet is about to begin. I've invited more friends this time and need to set up a few more tables. I wanted to discuss the details with him, but I can't find him."

Jiang Ningwan smiled and said, "Yunshan has invited someone to take charge of this matter, right? It would be the same if you discussed it with them."

But Song Jiaoyun said, "That won't work. I attach great importance to this flower viewing banquet. I have to discuss it with Zhu Yan in person."

Hearing this, Qin Shuangchi couldn't help but say: "He probably doesn't want to waste time with you on such a trivial matter."

Hearing this, Song Jiaoyun was startled, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly said, "He's the shopkeeper, he has to be responsible! Why is he wasting my time? If he wants to make this money, he has to follow my requirements!"

Qin Shuangchi said in a cold tone: "He should not need your business. If you can't accept to negotiate with his subordinates, then you can find another one."

Song Jiaoyun was a little dissatisfied. "But I've already paid, and time is running out. How can I order it elsewhere? It's too late!"

"Since he is the shopkeeper of Yunshan Yao, he should be responsible and do his job well. How can he let customers find him?"

After hearing this, Qin Shuangchi didn't want to say anything more and drank a glass of wine.

Jiang Ningwan advised, "With Yunshan Yao being so big, he shouldn't run away. Why don't you just wait patiently?"

Song Jiaoyun said helplessly: "This is the only way."

"Then I'll take my leave first."

Then Song Jiaoyun left Yunshanyao with her friends.

Seeing Song Jiaoyun walk away, Pei Xunzhi spoke: "I heard that the Song family is looking for a husband for her, but she runs away every day and the matchmaker can't see her. It seems that she is avoiding marriage."

Hearing this, Ling Jinlan said, "As long as she can hold on until next year's imperial examination and make the list, her family will probably stop forcing her to get married."

After a short gathering at Yunshan, several people went home.

Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi both drank some wine. As soon as the door was closed, Qin Shuangchi suddenly put his arms around her waist.

His eyes sparkled in the candlelight, and he leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Pei Xunzhi is right, isn't it time for us to have a baby?"

"Otherwise, who will take over this huge family business in the future?"

“I don’t want to do this until I’m old.”

Jiang Ningwan's cheeks flushed, and she hugged his neck, "So, do you want a boy or a girl?"

Qin Shuangchi said without hesitation, "I like them all."

As he spoke, he leaned over and kissed her on the lips.

A lingering kiss.

The candlelight flickered and the bed curtains fell.

……

Before we knew it, the weather was getting warmer.

At Yunshan's invitation, the flower viewing banquet hosted by Song Jiaoyun also began. The flowers were in clusters and very beautiful.

Most of the guests invited today are noble ladies from Kyoto. They are visiting the garden together to enjoy the flowers. Just looking at them is extremely pleasing to the eye.

Pei Xunzhi and Jiang Ningwan were also invited.

After the two of them walked around, Pei Xunzhi suddenly exclaimed, "Look!"

Jiang Ningwan looked in the direction she pointed and saw Song Jiaoyun talking to Zhu Yan on the top of the pavilion.

I was too far away to hear what they were saying.

"I always feel that Song Jiaoyun has other motives for looking for Zhu Yan. Can't Zhu Yan's identity be exposed? Why not just let her know?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan slowly spoke: "The prince said that the forces of Yunshan Yao are private soldiers trained by him, not his personal guards."

"I'm afraid that if my identity is exposed, someone with ulterior motives will make a big fuss about it."

Pei Xunzhi was surprised. "Then what's there to be afraid of? Things are not like before. Your cousin is the emperor. No matter how those with ulterior motives make a fuss, as long as he trusts the King of Chu, won't everything be fine?"

"What's more, even without your relationship, the King of Chu made a lot of efforts and achievements for your cousin to sit on the throne. There's no way he would doubt the King of Chu, right?"

"Just some private soldiers, just explain it clearly."

Jiang Ningwan nodded thoughtfully, "What you said makes sense, but his concerns are not without reason."

"It's better to have less trouble than more."

"In the past, we were family, able to sit together, drink, and joke, but is that still possible now? There is a difference between the ruler and his subjects."

After all, she and the King of Chu now have too much power in the court and command a large number of troops. If someone finds any evidence against them, chaos is inevitable.

Pei Xunzhi sighed: "Indeed, the emperor's heart is hard to predict."

"People's hearts may change at any time."

As he was speaking, Song Jiaoyun ran down from the pavilion, and her running figure looked like she was wiping tears.

"What happened? Song Jiaoyun is crying?" Pei Xunzhi was surprised.

Jiang Ningwan went upstairs immediately and saw Zhu Yan already sitting down drinking tea.

"Why did Song Jiaoyun run away crying? What did you say to her?"

Jiang Ningwan and Pei Xunzhi sat down together. Zhu Yan poured two cups of tea and said calmly, "She wants to hold her birthday party at Yunshan in the near future and wants me to give her some advice. I said I won't take her business anymore."

"She asked if I had offended me in some way and why I treated her like that. I said I hated troublemakers like her."

"She just ran away."

"I didn't say anything harsh."

His tone was very innocent.

Pei Xunzhi nearly choked on his tea. "Isn't that harsh? She's the daughter of Marquis Wenjing, doted on by her parents, raised in a honeypot. How could she have ever heard harsh words?"

Zhu Yan said indifferently, "But she is indeed troublesome."

"Yunshan Yao doesn't need her business either."

If he had not been in a hurry to return to Beijing to find Jiang Ningwan and prevent the Song family from poaching her, he would not have opened Yunshan's invitation again.

Now that the matter is over, it would be suspicious to close Yunshanyou hastily. It would be better if there is no business, otherwise it will slowly go bankrupt again.

Pei Xunzhi shook his head helplessly. "The eldest daughter of the Song family will definitely feel that she was so kind in taking care of your business, but was rejected like this and hated by you. She must be very upset."

Jiang Ningwan thought for a moment, "Indeed, she has good intentions. I'll go talk to her when I have time. Without Yunshan's invitation, we can hold this birthday party somewhere else! It will definitely not be inferior to Yunshan's invitation!"

"After all, the purpose of a birthday party is to have a lively atmosphere, and it's not necessary for Yunshan to invite everyone."

Pei Xunzhi nodded and also helped to look up some banquets in Kyoto to see which one was suitable.

There is no one exactly the same as Yunshanyao, but there are many with unique scenery.

After discussing it, the three of them went downstairs.

Pei Xunzhi first went to find out where Song Jiaoyun was, while Jiang Ningwan and Zhu Yan sat in the garden for a while.

Suddenly the wind blew and fallen leaves floated above Jiang Ningwan's head.

"Your hair." Zhu Yan reminded.

Jiang Ningwan reached out and touched it, but couldn't find it. "What's wrong?"

Zhu Yan simply moved over and raised his hand to pick off the fallen leaves for her.

This intimate gesture happened to catch the eye of Song Mingyu who was not far away.

Just now, his sister left crying. When he asked, he found out that it was Zhu Yan who said some unpleasant words. He came over angrily and wanted to find Zhu Yan to ask her for clarification.

But I didn't expect to see this scene!

The anger in my heart grew even stronger, and I couldn't help but clench my fists.

This guy has no good intentions!
