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

Many people who wanted to see off their loved ones today had their plans dashed.

The carriages dispersed one after another.

Only the carriage of Duke Jiang's mansion stayed at the city gate for a long time, waiting until after noon.

The servant Fang Yunxin sent to investigate returned with a report: "Duke, Madam, we've inquired and found out that the Ling family did indeed leave last night. Even the rest of the Ling family didn't know about it."

Hearing this, Fang Yunxin looked at Jiang Bingde and said, "Duke, let's go back."

Jiang Bingde looked gloomy and felt extremely heavy-hearted. "Why is she so unwilling to see me again..."

"I also want to visit Duke Ling's Mansion."

Seeing this, Fang Yunxin had no choice but to agree with him, "Okay, let's go to Duke Ling's Mansion."

When they arrived at the Duke of Ling's Mansion, Jiang Ningwan also happened to be there.

Met at the door.

"Ningwan, this is... my little granddaughter?" Jiang Bingde's eyes lit up when he saw the child in Qin Shuangchi's arms.

He wanted to go forward and take a look, but Qin Shuangchi walked quickly and walked straight into the gate of Duke Ling's Mansion.

When we arrived at the inner courtyard, Ling Jinlan and Qin Huaizhao had already arrived.

Coincidentally, the person holding the child was Qin Huaizhao.

The two looked at each other and understood each other perfectly.

Qin Huaizhao asked, "Is there any crying or making a fuss at home this night?

Qin Shuangchi shook his head. "He doesn't cry much, and he's easy to comfort. Does your baby cry a lot?"

Qin Huaizhao nodded. "It's a terrible headache! It kept me awake at night. It seems he's going to be a naughty boy when he grows up."

……

Outside the gate.

Jiang Ningwan looked at Jiang Bingde's disappointed expression and said calmly, "Are you here to look for my mother? She's already left."

After receiving this answer, Jiang Bingde's heart completely died, but he still had a glimmer of hope, "She...she left a single word."

Jiang Ningwan raised her eyebrows, "Of course I do, but it's not for you."

"Nothing about me?"

"No."

Hearing this, Jiang Bingde felt unwilling.

We were once husband and wife, how could I forget him completely and even not want to see him again?

"Duke Jiang, if there is nothing else, please return."

After saying that, Jiang Ningwan also entered the yard.

Jiang Bingde stood there in a daze. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He got into the carriage with the help of Fang Yunxin.

Returning to the courtyard, Jiang Ningwan saw Qin Huaizhao and Qin Shuangchi holding their children and discussing their experiences. She then sat down in the pavilion and ate melon seeds with Ling Jinlan and Li Shu.

"Duke Jiang came here?" Ling Jinlan asked.

Jiang Ningwan nodded, "I've let him go."

"You didn't cherish me before, but now you want to beg for forgiveness."

Li Shu sipped her tea and said, "I heard that Duke Jiang is not in good health. In his current condition, he must be seeking peace of mind to alleviate his guilt."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan chuckled, "Will he feel guilty too?"

Recalling that Jiang Bingde used her mother's ashes to threaten her to do something, and then Jiang Xiru smashed the urn in front of her, letting the heavy rain wash away the ashes, she could not forgive him.

If you really cherish someone, why would you trade her ashes? If you see her ashes being smashed, you will want to fight with her to the death.

But Jiang Bingde didn't.

Instead, he protected Jiang Xiru.

It was also expected that my mother would not see him.

Perhaps when the Ling family got into trouble and Jiang Bingde was eager to draw a line between them, my mother was already extremely disappointed.

Li Shu nodded, "Yes, when a person is about to die, he will want to make up for his regrets and guilt."

"It's not like they didn't know they'd done something wrong before, but they just didn't want to admit it. When they're about to die, they just want to find peace of mind."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Chaowen entered the yard and said, "The food is ready, we can eat now!"

Everyone got up immediately and went to the yard to have lunch.

A big table, very lively.

This was originally intended to be a farewell treat for my mother and the others, but they left early, so the prepared meal couldn't be wasted.

Everyone had a great time chatting at the dinner table, and agreed to travel to the north to visit the two children when they were older.

Half a year later, in the beautiful autumn weather, everyone packed up their things and set off together for the north.

Jiang Ningwan had already handed over her official duties and taken three months' leave.

Qin Wenli originally didn't want to approve it, as they all ran away to the north, leaving him and Lianyi in the palace so that they could live freely.

But he couldn't stop him, for fear that Jiang Ningwan would quit his job.

It can only be approved.

That day, Qin Wenli felt unhappy when he saw Jiang Ningwan's carrier pigeon message saying that they had arrived safely in the north.

"Jiang Zhouye, it's a good thing you stayed and didn't go with them."

Otherwise he would really be left alone.

Jiang Zhouye wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Actually, he also wanted to go, but the emperor wouldn't give him leave.

I can only wait for the next chance to go there.

And those who were far away in the north were reunited with their families again.

What surprised them was that the village here was truly like a paradise. Everywhere they looked, there were beautiful scenery, lotus ponds, waterfalls and streams, each of which made people linger.

The villagers are also very simple and honest. There are many precious medicinal herbs in the mountains here, so every household collects and dries them, and their lives are not poor.

Once Jiang Ningwan and the others settled in, they never wanted to go back.

The three-month deadline has passed, and Jiang Ningwan and his group are still in the north.

The emperor wrote letters again and again to urge him to do so.

"The three-month deadline has expired, return quickly!"

"Duke Jiang has passed away, return quickly!"

"The Lingwei Army cannot be without a commander, return quickly!"

Jiang Ningwan received seven or eight such letters in a month. She was so eager to see the winter scenery here that she didn't return home for a long time.

Xiao Lan keeps an eye on the developments in Kyoto City and writes to them regularly. This year's imperial examinations have selected a new batch of talents, so there is no shortage of military generals.

Lying in the small courtyard surrounded by green water and green mountains, Jiang Ningwan peeled an orange and ate it while discussing with Qin Shuangchi: "I want to resign from my official position."

Hearing this, Qin Shuangchi was not surprised. He peeled an orange segment and fed it to her, "Ling Weijun, are you willing to give it to me?"

"After all, the Lingwei Army is the imperial court's army, not mine. Why should I be reluctant to give it up?"

"Now that there is no war on the border, and the court has trained a lot of talents, I am sure they will not be short of someone like me."

"Are you afraid that we will bankrupt you when we no longer have a salary?" Jiang Ningwan turned to look at him.

Qin Shuangchi opened his arms and said, "Welcome to eat."

"Madam is willing to spend my salary, I couldn't ask for more!"

He didn't know how long he had been waiting for this day. Compared with the money Jiang Ningwan earned from business, his salary was simply not worth mentioning and was completely useless.

"It's going to snow soon. When spring comes, I want to build another house over there, a small building. I can see the waterfall and snow-capped mountains when I open the window. It must be beautiful!" Jiang Ningwan has already imagined it in her mind.

After saying that, no one responded for a long time.

"Why are not you talking?"

Jiang Ningwan looked back and found that the person was gone.

Turning around again, he saw Qin Shuangchi carrying a hoe. "Why wait for spring? Start repairing now. When you're done, you'll be able to see the snow-capped mountains!"

Jiang Ningwan was startled and quickly got up and followed.

Seeing Qin Shuangchi calling on the villagers to help repair the house, Jiang Ningwan smiled happily.

I can't help but pray that the world will be peaceful, without disputes, and that we can live like this forever.
