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

Chapter 136 Close the door and beat the dog

The room was filled with sandalwood and a medicinal fragrance wafted from the pillow.

Jiang Ningwan woke up slowly, turned over and sat up suddenly, feeling a sharp pain in her chest, so much so that her limbs felt weak and powerless.

Is it a dream?

It must be a dream.

Suddenly, a clear voice came from beside him: "The imperial physician said that you are angry and your heart is beating fast. You must not be excited now. Take the medicine first."

Jiang Ningwan was slightly startled, and turned around to see Qin Shuangchi.

"Why is the prince here?"

Qin Shuangchi picked up the medicine bowl and handed it to her, "The news that you beat your sister in the street has spread throughout Kyoto."

Jiang Ningwan felt a tightness in her chest; it really wasn't a dream.

My grandfather and mother’s ashes…

She clutched her chest in pain, trying to endure the pain, but her eyes were still red.

"What's in that earthenware jar?"

He asked all the guards at Jiang's house and also asked Lichun, but they all said they didn't know.

To make Jiang Ningwan so angry, the jar must contain something extremely important.

Jiang Ningwan suddenly clutched the quilt tightly, lowered her eyes and remained silent for a moment.

"Brought back from the north, belongings of my mother and maternal grandfather."

Hearing this, Qin Shuangchi frowned and thought. Anything that could be put in a clay pot didn't seem like an ordinary thing.

But Jiang Ningwan was not willing to explain too much.

He didn't ask any further questions.

He just consoled her by saying, "Whatever you want, I'll ask Commander Ren to bring it back to you another day."

Jiang Ningwan's nose felt sore and tears were about to burst out.

There is no more to bring.

No bones remain.

"I want to sleep for a while." Jiang Ningwan immediately lay down and covered herself with the quilt to hide the tears that were already flowing.

Looking at the thin figure and slightly trembling shoulders, Qin Shuangchi clenched his palms tightly, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.

"You should rest well at Jiang's house for the next two days." After saying that, Qin Shuangchi turned his wheelchair and slowly left the room.

As the drug took effect, Jiang Ningwan fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, I was woken by the noise outside.

It was already early morning the next day.

The rain had stopped long ago, the sky was clear, and the sunlight shone into the room, making it difficult for Jiang Ningwan to open her eyes.

Listening to the noise outside, Jiang Ningwan put on her clothes and shoes and walked out. She didn't see anyone in the mansion.

Before reaching the gate, I heard angry shouting outside.

"General Ling Wei, Jiang Ningwan, tortured my niece in the street and broke her legs! I want an explanation!"

"Jiang Ningwan, stop being a coward! Come out! Give my niece justice!"

"If you don't compensate her with a leg today, I, the Yongbohou Mansion, will never give up!"

Jiang Ningwan was slightly startled. It turned out that it was Qi's family members who came to support her.

The ancestors of Yongbo Houfu were also meritorious officials of the Daning State. Although these two generations did not hold important positions in the court, the title of marquis could ensure the prosperity of the Qi family.

With such a family background, Qi could have married a man from a wealthy family and become the wife and mistress of the family, but she chose to marry her father Jiang Bingde as a concubine.

This made Jiang Bingde feel sorry for Qi for the rest of his life, and he felt that he had wronged her.

Most of my preference for Jiang Xiru also comes from this.

Just as she was about to go out to meet Jiang Xiru's uncle, Lichun suddenly came and stopped her.

"Miss, you'd better not go out. The Qi family is barbaric and has brought a lot of people to surround them outside. There are a lot of onlookers and they are talking a lot. It's not good."

The young lady broke Jiang Xiru's leg in the street. The news has spread and the whole city is full of rumors that are unfavorable to the young lady.

Jiang Ningwan narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of chill in her eyes, "Yes, there are too many people watching."

"Then let them in."

She walked straight out the door.

As soon as she appeared, Qi Suizhou was like a dog seeing a bone, and he was even more excited to take a bite.

"Jiang Ningwan, you finally came out! You have to give me an explanation for my niece's leg!"

Jiang Ningwan took a glance and saw that he had brought more than 20 servants to guard the house, holding sticks and surrounding the gate in a menacing manner.

"It turns out to be Uncle Qi. If you have anything to say, why don't you just talk it out nicely? Come in first."

Hearing this, Qi Suizhou thought she was scared.

Do you know how to speak nicely now?

He angrily flicked his sleeves and walked towards the door. Today he was determined to make Jiang Ningwan lose everything!

After Qi Suizhou and his guards had all entered the yard, Jiang Ningwan signaled Li Chun to lock the door.

Lichun immediately stepped forward and closed and locked the door.

Qi Suizhou was still furious and didn't notice. He stood with his hands behind his back, his posture arrogant, and said coldly, "You broke my niece's leg in the street. You can't deny it in front of everyone. If you can't give us a satisfactory explanation, my father will report you to the emperor!"

"So what do you want me to do?"

Jiang Ningwan had already known this for a long time. The cousin of the Qi family loved gambling and no matter how much family property they had, it would soon be squandered. The Qi family now relied on the Qi family for support.

Jiang Xiru tried his best to drive her out of the Duke's Mansion because he was eyeing the family property.

They came to cause trouble today. Their support was fake, and their real intention was to ask for money.

"At least 50,000 taels of compensation! This incident can be pretended never happened!" Qi Suizhou said bluntly.

Sure enough it was for money.

Jiang Ningwan narrowed her eyes slightly, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Jiang Xiru's leg is worth fifty thousand taels?"

"Then send her to me and let me break her other leg. I'll compensate you with 100,000 taels, okay?"

As soon as these words came out, Qi Suizhou's face suddenly changed, shocked and angry, pointing at her with wide eyes, "You vicious woman!"

"Without one hundred thousand taels, don't even think about settling this matter!"

Jiang Ningwan frowned, "One hundred thousand taels isn't expensive, but if you're not willing to trade Jiang Xiru's leg for it, I can't agree to it."

She waved her hand lightly, and the guards in the mansion immediately surrounded them.

Qi Suizhou was shocked when he saw this and became defensive. "What do you want to do?"

"Do you dare to attack me?"

Jiang Ningwan's eyes were cold, and she said quietly, "Thank you for your reminder. I suffered the loss because I didn't close the door and beat the dog."

"I do now."

As she spoke, she took two steps back.

A wave of his hand.

The guards rushed forward with sticks in hand.

"You! Jiang Ningwan, you are so bold!" Qi Suizhou's face suddenly changed. Before he could curse the next word, he was knocked to the ground by a stick.

A stream of blood immediately flowed from his forehead.

Jiang Ningwan watched coldly, unmoved.

Jiang Xiru threw away the ashes of her grandfather and mother, and she is still angry. Now that the Qi family has come to her, don't blame her for being ruthless.

"Jiang Ningwan, in broad daylight, under the feet of the emperor, you are trying to rebel! You are trying to rebel!" Qi Suizhou touched the blood on his head and roared.

In the end, Qi Suizhou and his guards were knocked to the ground, wailing in pain.

Jiang Ningwan slowly walked up to Qi Suizhou, looked down at him, and said softly, "I know your Qi family is short of money. Your son Qi Xiuchen has amassed a lot of debts from gambling, right?"

"I can give you two hundred thousand taels, but I have to exchange it for Jiang Xiru's life."

Qi Suizhou felt a chill down his spine. Looking at that smiling face, he felt as creepy as a demon from hell. "What a vicious woman!"

"I am Xiru's uncle, I will never harm her!"

"Jiang Ningwan, we're not done with today! I'm going to sue you in front of the Emperor..."

wow——

A stack of banknotes fell on Qi Suizhou.

Qi Suizhou suddenly froze.

Jiang Ningwan raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Are you still going to sue me now?"

The blatant humiliation made Qi Suizhou's eyes red and he was burning with anger. "Jiang Ningwan! Just wait!"

After saying that, he left angrily with his men.

However, because there were guards blocking the main gate, Qi Suizhou could not get out and could only leave Jiang's house through the back door.

Li Chun was extremely worried. "Miss, they won't really report you to the Emperor, will they?"

"Will not."
