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

Chapter 461 We meet again, Yan Qinglan

Qin Beihuang's face froze, and he sighed, "To be honest, Qingheng was kind to me back on the battlefield. I didn't want to let her down, so I made her my equal wife. I never thought I'd be separated from Ningwan because of this."

"Now I think about it and I regret it. If I had been more resolute and not taken a concubine, and treated Ning Wan better, would she not have left me? I am so ashamed of her."

After listening, Prince Rong nodded thoughtfully, "Your situation is a bit tricky. Jiang Ningwan is now the Lingwei Army, which shows that she is not someone who gives in easily. Naturally, she can't tolerate having a concubine."

Princess Rong then took over, "That's Jiang Ningwan's problem. Isn't it normal for men to have three wives and four concubines? If she can't even accept that as a woman, then why did she get married?"

"Although he has the ability to be a general, his mind is narrow and not magnanimous enough."

As she spoke, Princess Rong became worried again.

"I just hope Ling Jinlan won't follow my example. If she's also so jealous and doesn't allow Huai Zhao to take a concubine, how can we expand the Rong Wang Mansion?"

Qin Beihuang comforted her, "The Ling family girl and Jiang Ningwan have completely different personalities. Princess Rong can rest assured."

Princess Rong felt somewhat comforted. "That would be great. I don't ask her to be good-tempered. I just hope she doesn't cause trouble for Huai Zhao."

Prince Rong, who was standing by, was puzzled when he heard this. "What happened during your trip to Kyoto this time that made you so dissatisfied with Ling Jinlan?"

"She is the descendant of General Ling, so her character can't be too bad."

When this matter was mentioned, Princess Rong began to talk incessantly.

"They were newly married, and they didn't even wait for me to arrive in Kyoto before they held their wedding. Ling Jinlan only came to offer me tea the day after the wedding, and then refused to come again."

"I just discussed with her that we could take some of their things and put them in Liyang. It would be a keepsake for us, but she thought I was coveting her dowry."

"Ling Jinlan spends money without restraint. She buys the best of everything, including food, clothing, and daily necessities. Her clothes cost hundreds of taels each. I've never seen such fine clothes in my life, but she's used to it."

"I asked her to sell those expensive things to save some money, but she was annoyed by me and said that her sister bought them. She didn't listen to a word of my advice."

"I don't know what he said to Huai Zhao, but he contradicted me time and time again, and even moved out of Prince Rong's Mansion and lived outside, just to avoid me."

"What sin did I commit to marry such a daughter-in-law?"

"Huai Zhao must be having a hard time in Kyoto. His salary is barely enough to support his wife. The wealth he's saved over the years will be squandered by Ling Jinlan sooner or later."

"Alas...if it weren't for the Emperor granting the marriage, I would never agree to this marriage even if I died!"

After hearing this, Prince Rong frowned, feeling unbelievable and regretful.

"If that's true, then Huai Zhao's life in Kyoto City will probably be difficult..."

"I'll have time to prepare some gold and silver jewelry for him. He's on his own in Kyoto, and he has to take care of everything. Now he has to support his family, so it's a bit difficult."

Upon hearing this, Princess Rong's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "Of course that's good, since the prince still loves Huai Zhao, then I will check the warehouse later?"

But at this moment, Aunt Du, who had been silent all this time, suddenly changed her expression.

Suddenly he started coughing violently.

Before Prince Rong could answer, he was attracted by Aunt Du's cough.

Guan Xin supported her and asked, "What's wrong? Is the cold still not gone?"

Aunt Du nodded and said, "I forgot to close the window when I was copying scriptures and praying for blessings two nights ago, and I caught a cold. It's nothing serious."

"You always work so hard. Since you are not feeling well, go back and rest." Prince Rong helped Aunt Du to get up.

After Aunt Du stood up, she felt dizzy and fell into Prince Rong's arms.

Prince Rong then said to Qin Beihuang, "Beihuang, please sit down first. I will send my wife back."

Qin Beihuang nodded slightly.

Then Prince Rong helped Aunt Du away.

Princess Rong was so angry that her teeth itched, "Your Highness..."

She had just said she was going to send some money to Huai Zhao, and was about to count the accounts, but that little bitch took it away again.

She was originally in charge of the accounts in this mansion.

But in order to go to Kyoto to see his son, the internal affairs of Prince Rong's Mansion had to be taken care of, so the prince handed it over to Du Wanyun.

Now that she is back, she has to get it back quickly, otherwise how can she still have a place in Prince Rong's Mansion?

Qin Beihuang watched silently and also saw the situation in Prince Rong's Mansion.

"Princess, why don't you see the Second Young Master?"

Princess Rong came to her senses and replied, "Who knows where this guy ran off to? I didn't see him either."

"He's never home, don't worry about him."

"You've come to Liyang to do some business. Do you need any help? This is the prince's territory after all. I can help you."

Qin Beihuang smiled and said, "Thank you, Princess, but it's not necessary. It's just a small matter, there's no need to ask Prince Rong to come forward."

Princess Rong extended another cordial invitation, "Then please stay for a few more days."

"No, I still have some manpower. It would be inconvenient for me to live in Prince Rong's Mansion. It would be more convenient to stay in an inn. I won't bother the princess."

Upon hearing this, Princess Rong stopped trying to persuade him to stay.

After leaving Prince Rong's Mansion, Qin Beihuang went to do his business and found an inn to stay in Jincheng.

He drew a portrait and gave it to his men, saying, "Go find this girl and find out where she lives. Don't tell anyone."

"Yes."

In less than three days, he found out the residence of the woman in the painting.

Qin Beihuang changed his clothes specially, dressed very smartly and majestically, and went out alone.

Soon, they arrived at a restaurant.

After entering the restaurant, he looked around and saw the woman in red coming down the stairs. She was talking to someone next to her.

Qin Beihuang withdrew his gaze and walked straight upstairs.

The steps are hurried.

He accidentally bumped into the woman in red. The woman had just come to her senses after talking to someone, but she missed a step and almost fell down the stairs.

"what--"

A cry of surprise.

There was a hint of panic on the woman's pretty face.

Qin Beihuang was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed the woman's waist with his arms and hugged her fiercely.

Then he jumped with light skills and landed steadily.

The woman raised her head in shock and saw the stern face, her heart beating faster unconsciously.

Qin Beihuang calmly put her down and released her hand, "Are you okay, girl?"

The woman finally came to her senses and looked away, but couldn't help but stare at him, "Thank you for your help, sir."

Qin Beihuang quickly said, "I bumped into the girl by accident. No need to thank me. I'm glad you're okay."

After saying that, he walked away.

The woman was slightly startled and quickly called out to him, "Sir, thank you for saving me no matter what. Can I treat you to a meal?"

Qin Beihuang went straight up the stairs without looking back, and said in a slightly cold tone: "No need."

A hint of disappointment flashed in the woman's eyes, and she looked at his back in a daze.

Seeing him go upstairs and enter the room, the woman withdrew her gaze.

At this time, several men gathered around and asked with concern: "Is the master okay?"

The woman's expression returned to indifference. She waved her hand lightly and turned to leave the restaurant.

The men around immediately retreated.

Qin Beihuang was sticking to the door, observing the woman in red through the gap, and saw her leave the restaurant and get on a carriage.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Youyou said: "Hello again, Yan Qinglan."
