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

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent.

Everyone was shocked.

Jiang Ningwan was also shocked and began to doubt her ears.

"Your Highness the Prince of Chu, you brought the betrothal gifts here today. Don't you want to marry Xiru?" Duke Jiang couldn't help but confirm.

The King of Chu was a little impatient, and his tone was slightly cold: "Isn't what I said clear enough? The one I want to marry is Jiang Ningwan."

Jiang Ningwan frowned. Could it be that he saw Jiang Xiru jumping into the lake and refused to marry him, so he said that he wanted to marry her in order to save face?

Qin Shuangchi raised his eyes to glance at her, and suddenly said, "When we were in Mianshan, I told the Queen Mother that I wanted to marry Jiang Ningwan."

"When I came to the Duke's Mansion yesterday, didn't you say you would come today to propose marriage?"

Duke Jiang was utterly shocked upon hearing this and asked anxiously, "But when the King of Chu came to cancel his engagement with Ning Wan yesterday, wasn't it because he wanted to marry Xiru?"

Qin Shuangchi spoke again: "The one I want to marry has always been Jiang Ningwan. That has never changed."

Hearing this, the faces of several people present turned a little ugly.

But they couldn't understand why he wanted to cancel the engagement if he wanted to marry Jiang Ningwan.

Jiang Ningwan's heart tightened, and she was full of doubts. She wanted to get something clear at this moment.

"Then why did you cancel the engagement?"

Qin Shuangchi raised his eyes, his gaze was particularly firm, and his voice was much gentler: "Even though there is no engagement, this king also wants to marry you."

"How could I go back on my word that day in front of the Queen Mother?"

At that moment, Jiang Ningwan suddenly thought of something and her heart skipped a beat.

When they were in Mianshan, Qin Beihuang said that the King of Chu married her only because they had an engagement and he was forced to do so.

Could it be... that the King of Chu heard it?

The one who was more shocked at this moment was Qin Beihuang. His face turned very ugly and he clenched his palms tightly.

Jiang Xiru and her daughter also felt embarrassed.

It was obviously a good thing that the King of Chu did not marry her, but Jiang Xiru could not be happy.

After all this trouble and even jumping into the lake, it turned out that the man didn't want to marry her at all. She was like a clown.

She bit her lower lip tightly and held back her tears of grievance.

Duke Jiang was probably the only one present who was happy. "It turned out to be a misunderstanding! It's my fault for misunderstanding His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu's intentions!"

"In that case, let's go sit in the front yard and discuss this slowly."

"Let Xiru wash up first."

Everyone came to the front yard and saw the betrothal gifts in the yard. Zhou Jingxuan, who had been feeling aggrieved for a long time, finally found an opportunity to mock.

"The Prince of Chu's family is wealthy and powerful, but the betrothal gifts they prepared are less than half of mine. It seems that His Highness the Prince of Chu doesn't care much about Miss Jiang."

"But think about it, she's a second-married woman after all, she can't be worth that much."

But at this moment, the King of Chu suddenly stopped, took out something from his arms and handed it to Jiang Ningwan.

Jiang Ningwan took it doubtfully, "What is this?"

"Marriage certificate."

"Time is short and preparations are incomplete. This is all I have."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan slowly opened it, and her face changed when she saw the contents inside.

"I am Qin Shuangchi, the sixteenth son of Emperor Haowei. I have been plagued by illness for many years. If I pass away suddenly, the entire Chu Palace's property will belong to Jiang Ningwan alone. I will have no concubines or children in this life, and no one can claim it. This book is my witness, and heaven and earth are my witnesses. I am Qin Shuangchi..."

When the contents of the marriage certificate were read out, everyone present was shocked.

What kind of marriage certificate is this? It's clearly a suicide note.

What is even more unbelievable is that the King of Chu actually gave all his property to Jiang Ningwan.

Is there any betrothal gift more substantial than this?

"Impossible? All the property of the Prince of Chu's Mansion?" Zhou Jingxuan questioned.

He didn't believe that there was such a man in the world who would dare to write a will and give his property to someone else so early.

With this suicide note, isn't he afraid that Jiang Ningwan will kill him in the middle of the night? Then all the family property will belong to Jiang Ningwan.

With such a huge risk, only a fool would write such a suicide note.

But Jiang Ningwan had no doubt about the authenticity of the marriage certificate because it was stamped with a seal.

"There's a seal on it, and the emperor knows about it?" Jiang Ningwan looked at him in disbelief.

"My status as a prince is special. Just in case, I must let my brother know. If someone competes with you for the family property in the future, you can use this as evidence."

Jiang Ningwan was so shocked that she was speechless. The weight of the marriage certificate suddenly became heavy in her hands.

How dare he?

Leave all your property and life to her.

Everyone present was shocked and no amount of questioning could bring it to light.

How is this possible? How could the King of Chu value Jiang Ningwan so much?

She is a second-married woman.

Zhou Jingxuan felt very aggrieved, clutching his folding fan tightly. "Second Miss Jiang must be feeling unwell today. We'll discuss the marriage proposal another day!"

After saying this, he scolded his followers: "Take your things and go home."

Qin Beihuang felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his chest, and he felt very stuffy. He didn't understand how a man like the King of Chu could fall in love with Jiang Ningwan and give her such a heavy promise.

How is Jiang Ningwan worthy?

"Uncle, you are not acting on impulse, are you?" Qin Beihuang couldn't help but persuade him.

"Why would this king act on impulse?"

"Marriage is a serious matter, so please be cautious, uncle!"

Qin Shuangchi narrowed his eyes slightly, "The Queen Mother and my brother have no objections, do you?"

The cold tone reminded Qin Beihuang that he had crossed the line.

Qin Beihuang's heart tightened. Qin Shuangchi was his elder, so how could he interfere with his elders?

"I spoke out of turn, please don't blame me, uncle."

"I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Seeing Qin Beihuang's ugly face, Jiang Ningwan raised the corner of her lips and called him: "General Qin, please come and have a drink at the wedding."

"Will do."

Qin Beihuang secretly clenched his palms and left quickly, unable to stay for a moment.

The more proud you are when you come, the more frustrated you will be when you leave.

After Qin Beihuang left, Jiang Bingde quickly invited Qin Shuangchi into the main hall, "Your Highness, let's go inside and discuss the marriage in detail."

Xiru didn't have to marry the King of Chu, and she wouldn't have to seek death.

It is also a happy event that Ning Wan married for the second time and married the King of Chu.

"Your Highness, why don't we set the wedding date for next month? We can then make some preparations."

But the King of Chu took out a piece of paper from his bosom and said, "The Imperial Astronomical Observatory has calculated an auspicious day, and it will be the fifteenth of this month."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ningwan and Jiang Bingde were both shocked.

Jiang Bingde said worriedly, "The fifteenth of this month? Doesn't that mean there are only ten days left? I'm afraid it's too late to prepare for the wedding."

Jiang Ningwan didn't expect that the King of Chu would even choose an auspicious day.

Then this date must have been shown to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.

But the southern expedition is imminent.

"The expedition to the south is about to begin. Can you wait until I come back to hold the wedding?" She didn't want to get married in a hurry like last time.

Qin Shuangchi seemed to know her concerns and said, "I have asked my brother, and he said the southern expedition will be on the 16th. It won't delay your departure."

Jiang Ningwan's heart was shocked.

She was also worried that getting married would affect her participation in the Southern Expedition, but she didn't expect Qin Shuangchi to be so supportive.

It seems there is nothing to worry about.

"Then let's do as the prince says."

Qin Shuangchi's slightly clenched palm slowly loosened, then turned to look at Jiang Bingde, "Does Duke Jiang have any objection?"

"I have no objection. I will follow the prince's arrangements."

Qin Shuangchi nodded slightly, "Then I will go back to the palace to prepare."

"Ning Wan, quickly send the prince off."

After seeing off the King of Chu, Jiang Ningwan hurried back to find her father.

"The wedding date has been set. Give me the deed to the Ling family's ancestral home!"

Jiang Bingde, who had just poured the tea, froze. "When did I agree to give you the deed?"

Jiang Ningwan said in a cold tone, "If you don't give me the deed, I will go to the King of Chu to break off the engagement."

If we don't get the land deeds, things like this will keep happening in the future. It's not a pleasant feeling to have someone hold a handle on you all the time.

Jiang Bingde's face turned grim. "Marriage is such a big deal, how can you treat it like a joke?"
