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

Jiang Ningwan angrily said, "Who's pestering you? I'm about to marry the King of Chu, who's pestering you? Don't be so shameless!"

When this matter was mentioned, Qin Beihuang couldn't help but clench his palms, and a trace of anger inexplicably arose in his heart.

"Come to think of it, I forgot to congratulate you on being able to fly to the tree branch."

"The Prince of Chu is of noble status, the youngest of the Grand Emperor's sons. He was young but had made great military achievements. The Grand Emperor loved him dearly during his lifetime, and the current Emperor also favors him. Many people wanted to marry him but were unable to."

"I originally thought that no one in Kyoto would marry you, but I didn't expect the King of Chu to marry you."

"Jiang Ningwan, I have to say you're truly blessed. You were born with something countless others would fight tooth and nail to obtain."

"It's the same with marriage. Which woman in the world can marry a higher-ranking man the second time? You are the first one in Daning."

Seeing Qin Beihuang so excited, Jiang Ningwan calmed down and sneered, "Why are you being so sarcastic? Are you jealous?"

Qin Beihuang's expression grew increasingly grim, and he scoffed, "Why should I be jealous? You don't really think the King of Chu would fall for you, do you? Ultimately, this is just to fulfill the engagement, and the Emperor's will cannot be disobeyed."

"Since it's an engagement, there are only benefits!"

He emphasized the word "benefits".

It was as if he wanted to remind Jiang Ningwan that if she left him, Qin Beihuang, no man in this world would truly want her.

She doesn't deserve anyone's sincerity.

Of course Jiang Ningwan heard it, but instead of getting angry, she laughed.

"My marriage to the King of Chu makes you anxious?"

Qin Beihuang then realized that he was a little too emotional. How could he be like this?

He turned sideways and snorted coldly, "You want to use your marriage with the King of Chu to provoke me? It's useless. Just give up. I only have Qing Heng in my heart."

"Oh? I didn't question you. It was you who talked a lot." Jiang Ningwan sneered with disdain.

He took a step and was about to leave.

Qin Beihuang thought of something important and turned around anxiously, "Do you agree to not participate in the Southern Expedition?"

Jiang Ningwan stopped walking but didn't turn around. She said calmly, "If you want to file a complaint, go ahead. Lu Qingheng should know exactly how Mo Yuanxing died. Anyway, if they investigate further, it won't be my bad luck."

"up to you."

Jiang Ningwan spoke in a relaxed tone, not caring about his threats at all, and left the tent nonchalantly.

These words made Qin Beihuang's eyebrows jump and his heart suddenly tightened.

Qingheng knows?

how is this possible.

Jiang Ningwan must be lying to him!

But she didn't seem threatened at all, she was very confident and didn't seem to be pretending.

While thinking, he left the tent.

After the two left one after another, Qin Shuangchi, who was sitting in a wheelchair on the other side of the tent, slowly came out and looked in the direction where Jiang Ningwan left with a complicated look.

After Qin Beihuang left, he went straight to Lu Qingheng and deliberately probed, "The emperor said that Mo Yuanxing might have gone after the black wolf alone and was eaten by it."

"But I think Mo Yuanxing's skills are not so strong that he can't escape. I wonder if there is something else going on."

Hearing this, Lu Qingheng's face froze slightly, "Strange?"

Qin Beihuang said solemnly, "Yes, there's no reason for him to go and catch the black wolf alone without saying anything. How about I go and check it out?"

This made Lu Qingheng suddenly think of the assassination of King Chu. The Emperor and the Empress Dowager knew about it. If it was found out that Mo Yuanxing assassinated King Chu, she would inevitably be implicated.

Mo Yuanxing was recruited by her second brother, and they all knew from the beginning that Mo Yuanxing hated the King of Chu.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingheng immediately grabbed Qin Beihuang's arm.

"Forget it, the emperor has already made his decision, let's not cause any trouble. That black wolf is difficult to deal with, and I don't want you to take any risks."

Qin Beihuang was slightly startled, then nodded, "Okay."

But my heart felt like it was being pressed down by a huge rock.

Qingheng really knew something.

……

For the next day, Jiang Ningwan kept a secret eye on Qin Beihuang.

She found that Qin Beihuang did not investigate Mo Yuanxing's death any further, nor did he mention it to the emperor, and her heart finally settled down.

It seems she made the right bet.

Lu Qingheng felt guilty and did not dare to investigate the cause of Mo Yuanxing's death, but Qin Beihuang would not let Lu Qingheng be implicated.

Two days later, the spring hunt ended and the team set off back to Kyoto.

After a day's journey, they arrived in Kyoto in the evening.

"Sister Wan, your father is here to pick you up." Pei Xunzhi looked out the window and patted her arm quickly.

Jiang Ningwan looked over and saw Jiang Bingde standing next to a carriage on the side of the road, waving at her.

"Then I'll go back first."

"See you tomorrow."

After the two said goodbye, Jiang Ningwan got off the carriage.

Jiang Bingde came over quickly in a very good mood, "Ningwan, did you encounter any danger on this trip to Mianshan?"

When she heard this, Jiang Ningwan was still wondering why Jiang Bingde cared about her so much.

The next moment, Jiang Bingde said, "The King of Chu said he wanted to marry you. Is that true?"

Instantly a basin of cold water was poured down.

Jiang Ningwan's eyes turned cold, "You are really well-informed."

Jiang Bingde was overjoyed when he heard this. "So it's true? I've been so worried for a few days, and now I can finally rest assured."

After saying that, he quickly pulled Jiang Ning to the carriage at night, "Go home first. Your aunt has prepared a table of wine and food. They are all your favorite foods. She is waiting for you to come home."

"Since the King of Chu has said he wants to marry you, then please invite him to come tomorrow to discuss the marriage. I have almost prepared the dowry, and I will check back to see if there is anything missing."

"You are marrying for the second time now, so the dowry should be more generous, so as not to be laughed at by others."

Jiang Ningwan remained silent, she knew that her father was happy for Jiang Xiru.

When she returned to the Duke's Mansion, Jiang Xiru, who had not been seen for a long time, also came and stood at the door with Qi to greet her.

"Wan'er must be tired and hungry after all this journey. Let's eat first."

Qi warmly welcomed her in.

This was the first time the whole family had a meal together, and the table was filled with her favorite dishes.

You can see how happy they are.

His words and actions showed his concern for Jiang Ningwan.

After dinner, Jiang Bingde counted the dowry. Jiang Ningwan was shocked when she saw the dowry list. It was more than twice as much as the last time.

"Not enough, not enough. This time I am marrying the second time, and I am marrying the King of Chu. People will inevitably talk about me. If I add more, I can't let people laugh at me, Wan'er."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan looked at Qi in surprise.

It was hard to believe these words came out of her mouth.

When my mother wanted to divorce my father, she didn't even want to let go of her dowry.

"Okay, add some more."

So the dowry list was doubled, making it four times the dowry from two years ago, saying it was auspicious.

Jiang Ningwan didn't say anything, but just sighed that the Duke's Mansion was really rich.

The next day, Jiang Bingde invited the King of Chu to discuss the wedding date. Of course, he wanted to get married as soon as possible.

Jiang Ningwan was not in a position to listen in on this matter, so she went out shopping with Pei Xunzhi.

After walking around for a whole morning, their feet were sore from exhaustion, so they decided to rest in a restaurant and have lunch.

Pei Xunzhi was a little surprised when she talked about what happened yesterday. "Your father favors Jiang Xiru and is willing to give you such a large dowry. I guess he still has you in his heart, but the weight is different."

"I only hope that after you marry the Queen of Chu, if you are wronged at home in the future, the King of Chu will support you."

But don't be like Qin Beihuang again.

Thinking of this, Pei Xunzhi was worried.

Just as Jiang Ningwan was about to speak, a low laugh suddenly came from the side.

Following the sound, I saw that it was the young ladies I had met during the spring hunt.

"The King of Chu supports you? The King of Chu would not look down on a second-married abandoned woman."

The sharp sneer startled Jiang Ningwan and Pei Xunzhi.

When they were in Mianshan, they were so fawning, how come they suddenly became like this?

"The King of Chu is about to marry Ning Wan, and now it's your turn to say whether you like her or not? When you failed to curry favor with her, you started to slander and spread rumors?" Pei Xunzhi looked angry.

One person pretended to be surprised and said, "The King of Chu has already gone to the Duke's Mansion to cancel the engagement. You guys don't know about this, do you?"

"I was wondering why the King of Chu would be interested in a second-married abandoned woman, and he broke off the engagement so quickly."
