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

Chapter 150 Obtaining Lin Qinglai's Confession

Lord Qi glanced at Qi Suizhou, and Qi Suizhou looked at his wife Liu with difficulty.

Liu was extremely reluctant, but thinking of her son's suffering, she gritted her teeth and agreed: "We agree!"

"But he's already old, so we shouldn't make a big fuss about bringing him into the house, lest people gossip."

Jiang Ningwan nodded, "Okay."

"I'll go get Rong Niang and bring her here. You can discuss it among yourselves. If she's satisfied, I'll bring Qi Xiuchen back."

Jiang Ningwan then went to the restaurant and told Lin Qinglai and Rong Niang the news.

Rong Niang was shocked when she heard this, her eyes reddened, "Is he really willing to give me a status?"

Jiang Ningwan nodded slightly, "I'll take you to discuss when to enter the mansion. You can propose any conditions."

She actually hoped that Rong Niang would ask for something other than just a status.

Rong Niang specially dressed up and then asked Lin Qinglai to dress up carefully.

Lin Qinglai was reluctant, but still let his mother dress him up.

Dressed in their best clothes.

Accompanied Jiang Ningwan to the Yongbohou Mansion.

Once they stepped into that magnificent mansion, even though they wore their best clothes, they still looked out of place.

Lin Qinglai felt uncomfortable all over.

"Qinglai, pay your respects." Rong Niang pulled her aside and reminded her in a low voice.

Lin Qinglai didn't want to bend his waist, so he stood straight and said, "Greetings, Lord Qi."

Lord Qi's expression was calm. "Please sit down."

After the mother and daughter sat down, Lord Qi asked, "If it is possible, please come in today."

"Don't make too much noise. Change the child's name and choose a day for him to be recognized as an ancestral figure."

Lin Qinglai wanted to speak: "I..."

But Rong Niang interrupted her and nodded immediately, "Okay, I'll listen to Lord Qi."

Then Lord Qi ordered: "Take the mother and daughter down to rest."

Seeing the mother and daughter being taken to the inner courtyard, the matter was settled. I really didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Jiang Ningwan promised, "I will bring Qi Xiuchen back within two days."

Before going to bring Qi Xiuchen back, Jiang Ningwan went to see Lin Qinglai again.

Rong Niang was very happy, but Lin Qinglai had a bitter face and could not be happy.

"Can you tell me now?"

Lin Qinglai handed her a letter in silence, "Everything you want is in it."

Jiang Ningwan's heart tightened and she took the letter with some excitement.

Only after she left Yongbohou Mansion and arrived at Huichun Hall did she dare to open it.

Inside was a confession signed by Lin Qinglai.

To her shock, the content of the confession was much more than in her previous life.

It clearly stated who gave her the letter of treason, how she approached Ling Chaowen, and how she placed the letter of treason in General Ling's bedroom after being taken back to the Ling family by Ling Chaowen.

And the person who instructed her to frame the Ling family was actually...

Qiu Cheng!

After Lin Qinglai was exiled to the north with the Ling family, Qiu Cheng did not fulfill his promise to release her. She found an opportunity to escape on her own.

And since then he has been hunted by Qiu Cheng's men.

Later, he used a female corpse to disguise himself and died in a fire, and then escaped back from the north.

It is clearly written in the confession!

Jiang Ningwan gritted her teeth.

Qiu! Cheng!

She resisted the urge to hand in a confession.

Hit the snake seven inches.

We can’t be like Lu Qingheng and his sister anymore.

To overturn the Ling family's verdict, we must kill them with one strike! We must not give Qiu Cheng a chance to escape.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ningwan put away Lin Qinglai's confession.

Fortunately, news quickly arrived from Doctor Hong. "Miss, you guessed right. Jinxiu Cloth Shop's goods have been shipped to the border in batches. They are looking for buyers on the black market."

"I plan to sell those weapons to the Qian people."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's eyes lit up and she immediately came up with a plan.

She fetched a pen and paper and immediately started writing the letter. After finishing it, she handed it to Doctor Hong and said, "Send it to Zechuan City in Qian Country and give it to the Ghost-faced Yama."

She asked Uncle Luo to buy Qiu Cheng's weapons and leave evidence.

This is the ironclad evidence for Qiu Cheng’s execution!

……

Prince Chu's Mansion.

The courtyard was silent. Qin Shuangchi sat quietly in a wheelchair, the tea beside him having gone cold.

"Your Highness." Xiao Lan called softly.

Recently, the prince has been alone in a daze, looking worried, which makes people really worried about his health.

"How long has she been away?"

Xiao Lan thought for a moment and said, "I haven't been back in the past month."

Qin Shuangchi's eyes were cold, with a hint of disappointment flashing across them. "No wonder the mansion is so deserted."

Xiao Lan recalled for a moment and said, "It seems that after the mother and daughter were rescued, Madam hasn't been back much."

"I shouldn't have let them go."

Qin Shuangchi twitched the corners of his lips, a hint of bitterness flashing across his face. "She married this king because she was threatened, and for the sake of that mother and daughter."

"How can I, a cripple, drag her down for the rest of her life?"

Xiao Lan felt sad when he heard this. The prince was once a majestic god of war, but now he seemed to have fallen from the clouds and into the quagmire.

……

Scorching sun.

That day, I suddenly received an invitation from the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

Jiang Ningwan looked at the invitation and thought for a long time before she remembered which family the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion belonged to.

It is Princess Yi’s maiden family—the Xiao family.

The older generation of the Xiao family had made great contributions, but the family had long since died, and the men in the family either died in accidents or from illness.

Now there is only Mrs. Xiao and her two granddaughters left.

Old Madam Xiao looked after her two granddaughters and did not participate in any power struggles, not even intervening in the affairs of Princess Yi.

Although the Xiao family has fallen on hard times, Old Madam Xiao once saved the retired emperor and has an imperial decree.

If Jiang Ningwan refused this banquet, it would be a bit disrespectful to Madam Xiao.

The next morning, she still went to the banquet.

There weren't many guests at the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, but they were all from military families.

Pei Xunzhi was also invited.

Seeing Jiang Ningwan, Pei Xunzhi ran over, smiling like a flower, "Sister Wan, it's been a long time since I saw you."

"I want to invite you out for a trip, but I'm afraid of disturbing you."

Jiang Ningwan took her hand and said, "After I'm done with this, I'll play with you!"

Pei Xunzhi's expression became serious. "No rush. You should go back to the Chu Palace more often to accompany the King of Chu. Now the daughters of the noble families in Kyoto are all talking about you and the King of Chu. You seem to be in love but you are not."

"Really..." Jiang Ningwan lowered her eyes, feeling a little guilty.

"Who told you not to be home every day?"

"But I know you are busy with military affairs, and the King of Chu will surely understand you."

Jiang Ningwan felt a little heavy-hearted. After thinking carefully, she realized that she had not been back to the Prince Chu's Mansion for a long time.

On weekdays, he is either at Jiang's house, in the army, or in Huichun Hall.

As they were talking, the two of them had already taken their seats at the banquet.

When he looked up, he ran into Qin Beihuang.

He and Lu Qingheng also came.

Not only them, even Qiu Cheng is here!

I always feel like nothing good is going to happen today.

Soon, Old Madam Xiao arrived. Although she was over seventy years old, she was still full of vigor. Beside her stood two graceful girls who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old.

Every gesture he makes is like that of a martial artist, quick and decisive.

"I would like to thank you all for your kindness in attending this banquet!"

Everyone was flattered, “Madam Xiao, please don’t say that.”

"Let me introduce you. These two are my granddaughters, Xiao Fuxue and Xiao Landong."

"There is no one left in our Xiao family. I am worried that after I die of old age, there will be no one to take care of my two granddaughters. That's why I invited you all here today. Please take good care of them."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan finally understood why Old Madam Xiao had invited so many people from military families today.

I hope to arrange a good place for my two granddaughters.

After three rounds of drinks at the banquet, Old Madam Xiao left first, leaving her two granddaughters to entertain the guests.

The weather was hot, and many people went to the inner courtyard to rest.

Jiang Ningwan was about to stand up when the maid came to pour wine.

With a bang, the wine vessel hit Jiang Ningwan.

The wine spilled all over him.

Xiao Fuxue sneered: "How do you do things?"

Jiang Ningwan waved her hand and tidied up her soiled clothes. "It's okay. I'll go tidy it up."

The maid quickly said, "General, please come this way."

Watching Jiang Ningwan being led away, Lu Qingheng raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, then turned and exchanged a glance with Qiu Cheng.

Qiu Cheng immediately stood up and went to the inner courtyard, avoiding the crowd.
