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

An ebony stick as thick as a forearm was handed to Jiang Bingde.

Jiang Ningwan looked at him in shock, "Are you going to use family discipline against me?"

She had never been beaten when her mother was still alive.

She has always been indifferent to Jiang Xiru and has never been close to her since she was a child. Her father is aware of this, but this time he wants to punish her according to family rules.

"Obey your father at home and your husband after marriage. I am your father, and it is my duty to discipline my daughter!"

As he spoke, Jiang Bingde raised the stick in his hand and brought it down hard, hitting Jiang Ningwan's arm.

A piercing pain came over her, and Jiang Ningwan's eyes turned red.

When the stick fell again, she grabbed it angrily and said sternly: "If you have the guts, beat me to death. It will be like repaying your kindness in raising me. We no longer owe each other anything. I will pretend that I don't have you as my father!"

Jiang Bingde was furious. "Very well, I will beat you to death today, you unfilial daughter!"

As he said that, the stick fell heavily on Jiang Ningwan.

Jiang Ningwan didn't hide, but held back her tears and bit her lips tightly to avoid making a sound of pain.

Severe pain spread throughout Jiang Ningwan's limbs, his face turned pale, and his lower lip was bitten and bleeding.

Finally, I couldn't bear the pain anymore, and tears rolled down from my eyes.

She pinched her palm hard, her knuckles turning white and veins bulging.

After receiving this family punishment, I feel like I have repaid the kindness of raising me.

From now on, she will never call him dad again.

At this moment, there were hurried footsteps coming, "Master, stop, stop."

Qi rushed over anxiously and stopped Jiang Bingde, "How could you beat the child like this? She just recovered from the epidemic and is still weak."

As he spoke, he took the opportunity to snatch the ebony stick from Jiang Bingde's hand.

"Weak? I think she's in good health! How dare you threaten me? Do you really think you can get away with it just because you've cured the epidemic?" Jiang Bingde was still furious.

Qi quickly winked at her, saying that if Jiang Ningwan was beaten to death, how could she marry in her place?

"Master, Ningwan was just angry. As an elder, you should be more tolerant." Qi patted Jiang Bingde's chest to calm him down.

Then he ordered the maid: "Help the young lady up quickly."

Jiang Ningwan brushed away the maid's hand, trembling, and slowly stood up with all her might.

Qi said with concern: "Let's ask a doctor to take a look."

Jiang Ningwan remained indifferent. All their kindness was conditional.

"No need, I'll go to the clinic myself."

After that, she turned around and left.

Jiang Bingde shouted, "Stop! Did I let you go?"

Jiang Ningwan clenched her palms tightly, suppressed her anger, and turned around, "Do you have any other instructions, Duke?"

Hearing this unfamiliar name, Jiang Bingde's palms tightened. Looking at Jiang Ningwan's pale face, he suddenly felt a little regretful. Maybe he had been too harsh just now. After all, she was a girl.

She had never been beaten since she was a child, so it was inevitable that she would hold a grudge against him after this beating.

Seeing that Duke Jiang looked unhappy, Qi quickly held his hand, fearing that he would say something else and anger Jiang Ningwan away.

He put on a kind smile and said, "Ning Wan, I want to discuss something with you today."

"Your sister has contracted an epidemic and hasn't recovered yet. The wedding date agreed upon with the King of Chu is in April. I'm afraid she won't be able to make it."

"Can you marry him in your sister's place? Since you've already divorced Qin Beihuang, the King of Chu must be a good destination for him."

Jiang Ningwan sneered inwardly, "I know medicine. I'll treat her and make sure she can marry into the Prince of Chu's mansion in good health."

Qi's face froze. This guy was really stubborn.

"If that's all, I'll go back first." Jiang Ningwan supported his aching arm and turned to leave.

Just after taking two steps, Jiang Bingde's cold voice suddenly rang out.

"I plan to sell the Ling family's ancestral home."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was shocked and turned around in shock. "What did you say?"

Jiang Bingde's palms tightened slightly, and without looking directly into Jiang Ningwan's eyes, he said in a deep voice: "The feng shui of the Ling family's ancestral home is good, and someone has taken a fancy to that piece of land."

"Either you marry me in my place, or I sell the Ling family's ancestral home."

The cold words were like a bolt from the blue, causing Jiang Ningwan's head to buzz.

"Before Mother left, she gave you the deed to our ancestral home because she trusted you. How could you..."

The Ling family was confiscated and exiled, but their ancestral home was in the countryside, and the ancestral tombs were where their ancestors with outstanding contributions from past generations were buried. The emperor would not take away the ancestral home, but it was inevitable that people would covet it.

So her mother gave the title deed of the ancestral home to Duke Jiang. His status as a duke could intimidate those who had evil intentions.

"Who told you to only have the Ling family in your heart?" Jiang Bingde lowered his eyes, feeling upset.

He would not have used this threat unless he had no other choice.

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan felt as if someone was strangling her heart and her breath was choked.

It turned out to be her father. He knew where to stab the knife to make it hurt the most, and he knew what to use to force her to submit.

After a long silence, Jiang Ningwan's voice choked with sobs: "What about the King of Chu? Doesn't it require his consent to replace her with a new bride?"

Seeing that she finally agreed, Qi was delighted and quickly said, "Don't worry about it. Our two families have an engagement, but the engagement doesn't specify which daughter will marry. It doesn't matter who marries."

"Just marry him when the wedding comes."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan looked at Jiang Bingde. Sure enough, he had a blank expression on his face and tacitly agreed to the proposal.

Jiang Ningwan felt a chill in her heart.

This was undoubtedly another stab in her heart.

"You make it sound so easy. After all, I am the one marrying in her place. If the King of Chu becomes angry when he discovers he has been deceived, I will bear his wrath."

"Perhaps I will die in the Prince Chu's Mansion."

"You don't care at all. Anyway, it wasn't Jiang Xiru who died."

Seeing her disappointed and bitter smile, Jiang Bingde clenched his palms tightly, feeling a pang of bitterness in his heart, "I..."

Qi spoke first: "You misunderstood, I just want to save some trouble."

"Since you have such concerns, how about you discuss it with the King of Chu?"

"I heard that the King of Chu was ill and admitted to the Imperial Hospital. You two have been together for a long time, so you should have a good relationship. If you come forward, it will be easier to talk."

She had to be allowed to marry in place of the king, and she had to persuade the King of Chu to accept the marriage.

At this time, I don't care about the opinions and criticisms of outsiders.

What a good calculation.

Push it all to her.

Jiang Ningwan remained silent, her body weakening and she had no strength left. She said in a calm voice, "I understand."

After saying this, she turned and left in disappointment.

The pain in her body made her walk unsteadily, but her slender figure still had a straight back, full of unyielding spirit.

Looking at her back, Jiang Bingde suddenly felt a little sorry for her. "Isn't it a bit too much to force her like this?"

Seeing that she had softened her heart, Qi quickly grabbed his hand, tears streaming down her face, "Master, if you don't do this, Xi Ru will surely die."

"Ning Wan's personality is like her mother's. She was brought up by the Ling family to be strong-willed. She has the guts to divorce her husband. Who can match her courage? She will definitely not be bullied when she marries into the Chu Palace!"

"This is the best solution, it's good for all of us!"

Jiang Bingde thought about it and felt that it made sense, and his guilt was alleviated a little.

A cold light flashed in Qi's eyes. Xiru had already told her about her rebirth. When Jiang Ningwan married him, she would discover the secret of King Chu.

No matter who Jiang Ningwan is, the King of Chu will definitely kill her!

Once Jiang Ningwan dies, everything in the Duke's Mansion will belong to them, mother and daughter!

Jiang Ningwan went to Huichuntang in a daze to get bandaged and treated with medicine.

I didn't go back home when it was late at night. I sat by the window in the room, looking at the night sky and thinking all night long.

After daybreak, he wrote an invitation and sent it to the Prince of Chu's mansion to meet Qin Shuangchi.

Then she returned home, changed her clothes, and dressed up carefully, waiting to go to Tianxing Tower to wait for the King of Chu after nightfall.

Looking at myself in the mirror, although I am beautiful and gorgeous, I look like a puppet tied with ropes.

One day, she will cut the rope with her own hands.

"Miss, the carriage is ready." Li Chun came to remind her.

Jiang Ningwan got up and set off.

The woman went to discuss marriage on her own, which was the first time in the world.
