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

"You are ungrateful and repay evil with kindness. You ignored all my efforts for the General's Mansion over the past two years, plotted against my dowry, colluded with Lu Qingheng to forge a letter from home to deceive me, forced me to drink the Gold Condensation Formula to make me childless, and used the Blood-Cleansing Grass to kill me. Every one of these actions is beyond the reach of Heaven!"

Is that the crime? Qin Beihuang has many more crimes!

Jiang Ningwan's words were full of pearls and her rhetoric was so sharp that Qin Beihuang's face turned pale.

Princess Yi was so angry that she almost jumped up and down. She pointed at Jiang Ningwan and cried to the Qin Taishi, "Qin Taishi, look at this, look at this! We can't afford to serve such a cunning daughter-in-law!"

"She dared to slander you like this in front of you. I wonder how cruel she is behind your back!"

Without waiting for Master Qin to speak.

Jiang Ningwan looked directly at Princess Yi and said sternly, "And you, old witch! The discord between us is all because of your immoral mother-in-law! If I'm willing to pay you, I'll be your good daughter-in-law. If you're not willing to pay the dowry, you'll set the rules for me and beat up my maidservants!"

"I paid off the debts that Prince Yi owed before he died! I was the one who had your illness treated and I bought the medicine you took! Without me, you would have died long ago!"

"If I really want to make a fuss, your whole family will have to kneel down and kowtow to me!"

Those sharp words made Princess Yi clutch her chest in anger, almost choking. Her fingers trembled as she pointed at Jiang Ningwan, "You! You!"

At this moment, Grand Tutor Qin's face turned pale.

I have never seen such a fierce woman!

But he also heard something wrong. If what Jiang Ningwan said was true, then there was indeed something wrong with Qin Beihuang.

"Mother!" Qin Beihuang rushed forward to support her, then turned and looked at Jiang Ningwan angrily, "If anything happens to Mother from her anger, I won't forgive you!"

Jiang Ningwan glanced at him indifferently with a look of disdain.

Grand Tutor Qin spoke slowly and solemnly, "Even if Qin Beihuang did make mistakes, it has never been the case that a woman divorces her husband. The resentment between you two is deep, so it's better for you to separate."

"Let Beihuang write you a letter of divorce. As for the dowry, according to the law, you must leave the house empty-handed and cannot take anything with you. But since Qin Beihuang is also at fault, I will make the decision today. You can take half of the dowry."

Upon hearing this, a gleam of light flashed in Princess Yi's eyes.

It’s okay, it’s okay, at least half of it is okay.

"Write! Beihuang, write the divorce letter now!"

"I don't want to see this vicious woman again!"

Qin Beihuang turned around and glared at Jiang Ningwan, "Now that things have come to this, don't regret it."

Qin Beihuang took out the pen and ink and began to write the divorce letter.

Jiang Ningwan sat down on a chair and poured a cup of tea to moisten her throat. Seeing Qin Beihuang writing furiously, she said quietly, "I want to take all the dowry with me."

"I can't leave any for you."

Princess Yi was furious and snorted coldly, "You're the one who was divorced, and you still have the nerve to ask to take away the entire dowry? Ridiculous!"

Grand Tutor Qin also pounded his cane in dissatisfaction, "Jiang Ningwan, giving you half is already the most I can do. Don't push your luck."

Jiang Ningwan looked at Grand Tutor Qin and said, "May I ask, Grand Tutor Qin, if I divorce Qin Beihuang and kick them all out, will this General's Mansion belong to me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically.

I have never heard such bold words.

She really dares to think!

Without a second thought, Grand Tutor Qin replied, "Of course not!"

Jiang Ningwan pressed on, "How about half?"

"Of course not, this house originally belonged to the Qin family!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan raised the corners of her lips and said quietly, "Then my dowry was originally mine."

"Why should we give them half?"

It's such a huge injustice.

But it’s a pity that we can’t divide the general’s mansion and let them sleep on the streets.

"This..." Grand Tutor Qin was choked and had nothing to refute.

"Wrong logic! It's all wrong logic! This is the law, and we don't have to confiscate your things!" Princess Yi shouted angrily.

Qin Beihuang didn't care about anything else. In anger, he just wanted to divorce Jiang Ningwan immediately.

Continue writing the divorce letter.

Just then, hurried footsteps were heard outside.

"The imperial edict arrives——"

Eunuch Hai's loud shout reached the main hall.

Everyone quickly stood up and stepped forward to receive the order.

"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that Prince Yi's son, Qin Beihuang, has lost his moral integrity. He favors his concubine over his wife, speaks harshly to her, and shows no love or care for her. The Duke's daughter, Jiang Ningwan, is gentle and virtuous, and has made contributions to combating the epidemic. She has been repeatedly humiliated by him. I deeply pity her, and for the sake of upholding social order, I hereby grant Jiang Ningwan the right to divorce Qin Beihuang. From now on, their marriages shall remain separate!"

Upon hearing the contents of the imperial edict, Princess Yi was so shocked that she collapsed to the ground, her face pale.

This is an imperial decree for divorce!

Except for Jiang Ningwan, everyone present was shocked.

What a great saying: Favoring the concubine means killing the wife. It is self-evident who is the concubine.

"Your Majesty, I accept the order! Thank you for your grace!" Jiang Ningwan took the imperial edict, and the heavy stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

She has completely gotten rid of Qin Beihuang's family. From now on, she will live for herself and live a good life.

Eunuch Hai smiled and said, "Fortunately, I ran into Young Master Jiang on the way to the Jiang residence. He told me that you were at the General's Mansion, so I hurried over."

If I had been a little later, the divorce letter would have been written.

Grand Tutor Qin asked in disbelief, "Did I hear correctly? Divorce your husband?"

Prince Yi was no longer favored during his lifetime, but Qin Beihuang was the emperor's nephew. How could he divorce her by imperial decree? Wouldn't that be a disgrace to the royal family?

"Yes, it's a divorce. The emperor has given special permission."

Upon hearing this, Grand Tutor Qin's face turned pale. "Ridiculous! Absurd!"

After saying that, he left angrily.

Jiang Ningwan didn't find it strange. After all, he was an old-fashioned man and couldn't accept the fact that a woman divorced her husband, especially when the man being divorced was related to him.

Qin Beihuang was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze for a long time. She couldn't come back to her senses and couldn't accept the imperial decree to divorce her husband.

The moment he raised his head, he met Jiang Ningwan's gaze, and Qin Beihuang's heart tightened.

"When did you ask for the imperial decree of divorce?"

"How long have you been planning for this day?"

Jiang Ningwan said frankly: "Since the day Lu Qingheng entered the mansion, I have been looking forward to this day all the time."

Qin Beihuang felt his chest was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe. How could she say it so easily?

"So you've already planned this, risking your life to treat the sick, and using your achievements in curing the epidemic to exchange for an imperial decree to divorce your husband."

"You hate me so much."

Jiang Ningwan sneered, "You used the blood-draining grass to harm me, isn't that enough for me to hate you? How dare you pretend to be innocent?"

In her previous life, she couldn't avoid the blood-drying grass, and the few years she lingered on were all due to the mercy of the King of Hell.

"It's just right. I'll divorce you, and you can take Lu Qingheng as your wife. But don't let her suffer."

Jiang Ningwan sneered and immediately arranged for people to count the dowry.

She had already moved the important belongings to Jiang's house, but there were still a lot of furniture and utensils, all of which were extremely expensive, and of course she couldn't let them get away with it cheaply.

Not long after, Lichun started moving things with his men.

"One golden nanmu bed, four golden nanmu chairs, one Hundred Flowers and Jade Butterflies screen, one Auspicious Dragon screen, two jade branch couches, two agarwood coiled dragon tables, six gilded flower tables, eight rolls of flowing gauze..."

As the sound of pear spring rang out, things were moved out one after another.

These furniture became known for their value only after they were moved out, attracting many passers-by.

"Whose wedding is this? It's so grand."

"It's not marriage, it's divorce!"

"Hugh?"

Suddenly the crowd was in an uproar, talking and laughing.

Looking at the gradually emptying General's Mansion, Princess Yi felt suffocated and almost couldn't breathe. "What a vicious woman! She's trying to force me to death."

"Our Qin family took you in for two years, and this is how you repay kindness with hatred!"

Qin Beihuang quickly supported Princess Yi and turned to glare at Jiang Ningwan. "She's just an abandoned woman. You might say you divorced me, but what man in this world would want her again?"

"You'll regret it then."
