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

Chapter 407 Renyan’s life is in danger

Ling Jinlan’s wedding preparations are almost complete, and now we are just waiting for the wedding date.

When Jiang Ningwan was free, she would often visit Duke Jiang's mansion.

Jiang Renyan liked her very much and always pestered her to teach him martial arts.

The second lady also treated her very kindly.

Every time Jiang Ningwan went to Duke Jiang's Mansion, the food and meals prepared by the Second Madam were all Jiang Ningwan's favorites.

She remembered Jiang Ningwan's preferences clearly.

Even more clearly than Jiang Bingde remembered.

When the second wife took out a pot of Liyunzui, Jiang Ningwan was shocked.

"How do you know I like this?"

The Second Madam smiled and said, "Last time you told Renyan that the Pear Cloud Drunk at Nanting Tavern was intoxicating, that it had a sweet pear flavor, and that even children could drink it. I took note of it, thinking you would like it."

Jiang Ningwan was a little surprised, "This Liyunzui is not easy to buy."

The Second Madam poured her a cup and said, "It's not easy to buy. I waited in line for three days."

Jiang Ningwan was shocked.

"You're going to queue up yourself? You're already the Second Lady of the Duke's Mansion, so just let the servants do it."

Unexpectedly, the second wife said, "If I hadn't queued up myself, I wouldn't have been able to buy it."

"People saw me queuing up every day and thought I was sincere and had a reason to buy it, so they reserved a pot for me."

"But it's not a big deal."

Before entering the Duke's Mansion, she had done all of this herself.

Jiang Ningwan smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to bother remembering my preferences. All the big and small things in this huge Duke's Mansion take up a lot of my energy. My preferences are not important in comparison."

But the second wife said firmly: "How can you say it's not important? Family members need to understand each other and know each other's preferences. This is the most basic thing."

"I also remember the first lady and the second young lady. The first lady has a light taste and likes sweets, but the doctor said she can't eat too much and needs to avoid certain foods."

"The second young lady has a strong taste, high in oil and salt, and likes spicy food, but recently she prefers sour things and her appetite is not very good."

The second wife was talking to herself, already planning what to do for dinner in her mind.

Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but sigh that such a woman should be the most qualified wife in Jiang Bingde's mind. She was considerate and meticulous, remembered everyone's preferences clearly, and arranged everything properly.

……

Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived before we knew it.

The palace banquet was organized by Concubine Rong. The emperor was very satisfied and gave her many rewards.

The queen's illness prevented her from attending palace banquets, and she almost completely lost her power over the six palaces.

After the dinner, Jiang Ningwan went to Yongning Palace for a short rest.

Concubine Rong's eyes sparkled as she picked up the golden locket of longevity bestowed by the emperor.

"Last time, I mentioned to the Emperor that Shu Yue's previous small gold locket was a little too small. I didn't expect the Emperor to take note and specially reward her with a larger one."

As she spoke, she picked up the golden locket and showed it to Jiang Ningwan, "Do you think it would look good on Shu Yue?"

Jiang Ningwan nodded. "The little princess is so delicate and beautiful, what wouldn't look good on her?"

Concubine Rong smiled and carefully put away the golden locket of longevity.

"By the way, Ning Wan, when we were in the palace earlier, you were investigating the Queen's illness. Did you get any results?"

"I heard that the Queen's illness has become more serious recently, and it's unknown how long she has left. The Emperor has been worried every time he mentioned her."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's heart sank.

Worried?

You are really good at pretending.

Seeing that her aunt had some genuine feelings for the emperor, Jiang Ningwan simply held her hand and said, "Aunt, I've found out everything. You may not believe it, but I still want to tell you."

Concubine Rong was a little surprised to see her being so serious. She smiled and said, "How could I not believe what you said?"

Along the way, the people she trusted the most were Wen Li and Ning Wan.

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan leaned close to Concubine Rong's ear and whispered, "The Queen's illness can't be cured. It's because the Emperor doesn't want her to get better."

As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Rong's face suddenly turned pale.

"Are you serious? Is there any basis for this?"

Jiang Ningwan told her everything he had found out.

After hearing this, Concubine Rong was so shocked that she was speechless.

Instead of gloating, she felt a chill down her spine.

Knowing that serving the king is like living with a tiger, how can one accept being harmed by the person sharing the bed with him?

"Aunt, the emperor's mind is unpredictable. No one can guarantee that they won't be the next queen. You must be careful."

Jiang Ningwan just wanted to remind her not to fall too deeply in love, otherwise she would hurt herself.

Concubine Rong's heart was still restless, and her eyes dimmed. To reassure Jiang Ningwan, she patted her hand and said, "I'll be careful."

After sitting in Yongning Palace for a while, Jiang Ningwan prepared to leave the palace.

As soon as she left the palace, she saw the carriage of Prince Chu's Mansion waiting on the side. Jiang Ningwan was about to get on when suddenly the carriage of Duke Jiang's Mansion came back.

Jiang Bingde lifted the curtain and shouted, "Ningwan, come home with me!"

Jiang Ningwan: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Bingde was extremely anxious, "Renyan's life is in danger!"

Jiang Ningwan was slightly startled, and got on the carriage of the Duke's Mansion without thinking too much.

In the carriage, Jiang Bingde was anxious and restless. "I just got back and heard from your aunt that Renyan vomited continuously after dinner and had a high fever. She asked the doctor to prescribe medicine, but he didn't get any better after taking it."

"My breath has become weak now!"

"I thought that you are a skilled doctor, and he is your brother, so you will do your best to treat him, so I came to find you. Fortunately, you haven't returned to the Prince of Chu's Mansion yet."

Jiang Ningwan frowned slightly, "It sounds like he ate something wrong."

The carriage bumped along the way and quickly returned to the Duke's Mansion.

"Ningwan, you..." Jiang Bingde was about to stand up and hadn't finished speaking.

Jiang Ningwan's figure passed by him like a gust of wind and she jumped off the carriage.

When he got off the carriage, Jiang Ningwan was nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Ningwan had already rushed to Jiang Renyan's room. The second wife was sitting by the bed watching over him, tears streaming down her face, and she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Ningwan..." When Fang Yunxin saw Jiang Ningwan, it was like she had found a life-saving straw.

Jiang Ningwan strode forward and checked his pulse.

Jiang Renyan still had a high fever and the spittoon beside his bed was full of vomit.

She immediately took out the silver needle and gave Jiang Renyan acupuncture.

After stimulating several acupoints, Jiang Renyan was in great pain and called out to his mother incoherently, which made Fang Yunxin very worried.

Jiang Ningwan then took out the detoxification pills she carried with her and gave them to Jiang Renyan.

"Watch him, give him some water, I'm going to the clinic."

After saying this, Jiang Ningwan left the Duke's Mansion and rode his horse towards Huichun Hall.

Jiang Bingde was stunned, "Ningwan, where are you going?"

When Jiang Ningwan came back, she had brought back the medicinal herbs and asked the servants to boil the medicine.

After the medicine was boiled, it was given to Jiang Renyan to take.

Soon, Jiang Renyan began to vomit violently, vomiting out everything he had eaten in the evening.

But after vomiting, Jiang Renyan felt much better and no longer felt so uncomfortable.

Jiang Ningwan took his pulse and examined him.

"It's okay. I'll prescribe another medicine. Take it for three days in a row. It will clear the remaining toxins in your body and won't harm you."

Hearing this, Jiang Bingde and Fang Yunxin both breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Yunxin couldn't help crying while hugging Renyan.

Jiang Bingde asked, "Is Renyan poisoned?"
