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

"Liu Wenyue!"

Upon hearing this, the other party suddenly became excited and grabbed Jiang Ningwan's arm, "Do you recognize me? I'm the head of the Imperial Hospital!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a stack of ghost money from his pocket and stuffed it into Jiang Ningwan's hand, saying excitedly: "Go and help me kill Jiang Ningwan, and all this money will be yours!"

"I have a mountain of silver notes. If you help me accomplish this, I will never treat you unfairly!"

Seeing him like this, is he crazy?

I remember that he was dismissed from his post and expelled from the Imperial Medical Service not long ago. How could he go crazy so quickly?

She took Liu Wenyue's wrist and took his pulse, only to find that he had been poisoned, and not only that, he also had serious internal injuries.

He must have been beaten a lot during this period.

Pei Xunzhi was puzzled. "What deep hatred do you have with Jiang Ningwan? Why do you want to kill her?"

Liu Wenyue made a shushing gesture and lowered his voice, "I secretly replaced Jiang Ningwan's cup with the patient's, causing her to contract the plague."

"She even found someone with syphilis and took the opportunity to tarnish Jiang Ningwan's innocence. She even reported me, causing me to be fired!"

Liu Wenyue became more and more excited as he spoke, opening his arms and laughing loudly towards the sky.

"As long as I kill her, I can get my job back! I'm still the head of the Imperial Hospital, hahahaha!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's expression changed.

It turns out that all of that was arranged by Liu Wenyue.

She thought she was careless when she contracted the disease.

She had thought about investigating the man with syphilis, but the man was killed on the spot by the King of Chu, so she had nowhere to investigate.

Liu Wenyue took the initiative to explain everything clearly!

"Kill me? You'll never have the chance in this life!" Jiang Ningwan was furious and kicked Liu Wenyue into the lake.

thump--

"Help! Help..."

After Liu Wenyue struggled desperately in the water, he suddenly sank into the water and became motionless.

"Dead?" Pei Xunzhi approached the lake and looked at the lake.

Liu Wenyue was not seen floating up.

However, Jiang Ningwan accidentally glanced into the distance and saw a disheveled figure crawling out of the water on the lakeshore.

After climbing ashore, he looked back at Jiang Ningwan and fled in panic.

"There it is. He ran away."

Pei Xunzhi looked in the direction he was going. "He still knew how to run for his life. It seems he's not completely crazy. He hurt you like that, and you just let him get away like that?"

Jiang Ningwan said calmly, "He won't survive."

Liu Wenyue was poisoned. Although he didn't know who had given him the poison, once it took effect, he would die within seven days.

Now he has become a crazy beggar. If he dies suddenly one day, no one will know and no one will care.

The murder method seemed very skilled, and I wonder who did it.

"In that case, let's forget about him and get on the boat." Pei Xunzhi was already a little impatient.

"it is good."

……

The two of them spent a day boating on the lake, enjoying the spring scenery, and only reluctantly returned in the evening.

In the carriage, the two made an appointment to go horseback riding in the suburbs together tomorrow.

In a great mood.

Just as we returned to the city, the carriage was suddenly forced to stop and jolted.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Ningwan lifted the curtain and looked.

A team of guards appeared in front of the carriage, their presence fierce and imposing. The leader displayed the Duke's Mansion badge and said, "By order of the Duke, escort the young lady back to the mansion."

Jiang Ningwan was slightly stunned. This is called escort?

Pei Xunzhi also noticed something was wrong and held her hand. "Is your father angry because of the divorce? Otherwise, I will accompany you to the Duke's Mansion. With outsiders here, your father will have to give you some face."

Jiang Ningwan smiled easily and patted the back of her hand. "It's okay, I can go back by myself. I have to face it eventually."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Jiang Ningwan then got off the car, boarded the Duke's Mansion's carriage, and was 'escorted' back to the Duke's Mansion by the guards.

The Duke's Mansion, in the main hall.

Jiang Bingde, who had been waiting for a long time, looked serious and angry. He played with the carving in his hands, suppressing his dissatisfaction.

But when Jiang Ningwan arrived, she sat directly on the chair and drank tea. Her casual attitude made Jiang Bingde unbearable.

Can't you see that he is angry?

boom--

Jiang Bingde slammed the carving in his hand onto the table with a loud bang.

"Do you still see me as your father? Do you still remember that you have a home?"

"You asked for a divorce decree, but have you ever discussed it with me?"

Jiang Ningwan's expression was calm and nonchalant. "When Qin Beihuang wanted to demote me to a concubine, Grand Tutor Qin asked for your opinion. You readily agreed to demote me to a concubine. When did you ever discuss it with me?"

"In Dad's eyes, I can be bullied and humiliated, and I'm not that important."

If she had not planned ahead and asked for the imperial decree to divorce her husband, she would have been demoted to a concubine by Qin Beihuang. What a humiliation that would have been.

Hearing this, Jiang Bingde couldn't help but clench his fists. He admitted that he had selfish motives when he agreed to demote his wife to a concubine.

"What father would watch his daughter being bullied? That's because I have other plans!"

Jiang Ningwan raised her eyes and smiled contemptuously, "You want to use this to force me to divorce Qin Beihuang, right? Only when I'm free can I marry the King of Chu on behalf of Jiang Xiru."

"You're not doing this for me, you're doing this for Jiang Xiru."

Jiang Bingde's face turned pale as Jiang Ningwan easily exposed his thoughts, and he was speechless in rebuttal.

"It's fine that you asked for the imperial decree of divorce without my knowledge, but since you left the Qin family, why don't you return to the Duke's Mansion?"

"This is your home!"

Jiang Ningwan took a sip of tea and said calmly, "There's no place for me to live here, and my dowry is too big to fit in."

Seeing her nonchalant attitude, Jiang Bingde felt extremely angry. He knew that Jiang Ningwan only had the Ling family in her heart.

Even though all the members of the Ling family were dead, she still had to live in the Ling family's house. Despite so many things happening, she had never returned to the Duke's Mansion.

He is obviously her father!

"You only remember the dowry the Ling family gave you. I also gave you quite a bit of dowry back then. Did you ever take it to heart?"

Jiang Ningwan said calmly, "Of course I remember. If Dad feels that Jiang Xiru is getting married soon and needs me to return the dowry, I will send someone to deliver it tomorrow."

Jiang Bingde was so angry at her cold attitude that he slammed the table and stood up, pointing at her and asking, "Is your heart made of stone?"

"Your sister has contracted an epidemic and is seriously ill in bed, hanging by a thread. You haven't even visited her yet. You got drunk with the Third Prince and Jiang Zhouye at the Jiang residence until dawn!"

"You're out with Miss Pei today. Have you ever remembered that you have a younger sister?"

"When you were seriously ill, your sister was obsessed with you. Even when she had a fever, she kept asking if you had come back. Once she got a little better, she cried day and night, saying she had hurt your heart and that she was sorry."

"I sent for you again and again, but you refused to see me."

"You've been hanging around with those guys from the Ling family since you were little, so you've become so hard-hearted!"

Is Jiang Xiru infected with an epidemic?

Jiang Ningwan raised an eyebrow. "Since one plan failed, you're trying to inflict pain on yourself?"

No one who received the sachet got sick, but Jiang Xiru got sick. Who would believe that she didn't get sick on purpose?

Such a heartless and indifferent attitude made Jiang Bingde feel a chill on his back and a chill in his heart.

Furious, he roared, "Bring me the family rules!"
