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

Chapter 116: Uproar in the General's Mansion

A crisp slap.

Jiang Ningwan's face felt burning and quickly became red and swollen.

This slap did not calm Jiang Ningwan down, and many of the onlookers did not dare to say a word.

Jiang Ningwan's eyes were filled with tears, and her gaze was sharp. "Duke Jiang, so many martyrs of the Ling family are inside. You'd better have a clear conscience!"

She turned away angrily.

He unloaded the carriage and rode away.

Looking at the figure that was determined not to look back and walking away in the moonlight, Jiang Bingde's hands were shaking and his palms were numb.

Looking back at the Ling family's ancestral home, he felt a little guilty. He didn't expect things to turn out like this.

Jiang Ningwan was probably going to hate him even more now.

In a fit of frustration, he hit her impulsively.

Jiang Ningwan galloped in the night wind, her tears dried by the wind, and she rushed straight to Kyoto City.

He originally wanted to find Jiang Zhouye, but met the carriage of Prince Chu's Palace halfway.

"Madam, you are back."

"The prince is worried that you haven't returned yet, so he's going out of the city to pick you up."

Jiang Ningwan thought about it and decided not to bother Jiang Zhouye since there were already people available. "Can you do me a favor?"

"Madam, you are so polite."

……

The next morning.

The palace of the general who protects the country.

More and more people gathered on the street, whispering and making so much noise that the doorman opened the door early.

The moment I opened the door, all my sleepiness disappeared.

The concierge rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

There were dozens of tablets neatly placed on the ground at the entrance.

Jiang Ningwan sat on the ground holding the broken tablet, her eyes already red from crying.

"Come...someone come." The doorman was so scared that he quickly closed the door and ran back to call for help.

Passersby were also very curious, "What happened? Whose ancestral tablet is placed at someone's door?"

Someone explained, "Those are the tablets of the martyrs of the Ling family. Each of them was a first-class marquis with great merit. It's extremely disrespectful to move their tablets here."

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar.

Seeing that the crowd of onlookers had blocked the street, Xiao Lan in the crowd immediately shouted, "Madam, let's go back home!"

"The tablets of the Ling family martyrs are temporarily placed in the Prince of Chu's Palace!"

Jiang Ningwan cried and said sternly, "I want the Lu family to give justice to the martyrs of the Ling family!"

"The first female general of Daning State forcibly demolished the Ling family's ancestral home, broke my great-grandfather's tablet, and drove all the ancestors of the Ling family out!"

"I want justice for them!"

As she spoke, Jiang Ningwan burst into tears while holding the broken tablet.

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was excited.

Everyone was shocked.

"Ancestors of the Ling family, please forgive me, a useless descendant, for not even being able to protect your home that provides you with shelter from the wind and rain!"

"If you are still alive, please don't let them go!"

Jiang Ningwan's grief-stricken cries echoed throughout the street, feeling helpless and heartbroken.

Lu Qingheng was still in the yard. When he heard the shout, his scalp suddenly went numb. He stopped in his tracks and didn't dare to step out of the door.

This Jiang Ningwan is so shameless!

"That's too much! We can't demolish the Ling family's ancestral home!"

"That's right! The tablet was even broken. How can they be so disrespectful to the heroes!"

"The Lu family must give an explanation!"

"Give me an explanation!"

The voices of the people on the streets grew louder and louder, becoming deafening.

Lu Qingheng, who was hiding in the general's mansion, had no choice but to come out.

"Jiang Ningwan, you are shameless!"

"Aren't you afraid that the Ling family's ancestors will come after you?"

She had never seen such a shameless person who actually moved out so many ancestral tablets. This was extremely disrespectful!

Jiang Ningwan looked at her indifferently, her eyes scornful, "If there's any reckoning to be settled, it's with your Lu family."

"If you don't restore the Ling family's ancestral home to its original state, my ancestors will live here with you."

"If you dare to touch these tablets, it would be disrespectful."

"Anyway, Lu Lingsong colluded with bandits and murdered loyal officials. He must have committed many crimes."

At this moment, the spit of the onlookers was almost drowning Lu Qingheng, so how could she dare to touch the tablet again?

I wish I could find a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

He immediately returned home and closed the door.

The news outside the General Protector's Mansion quickly spread.

Soon the carriage from the Duke's Mansion arrived on the street, but there were too many people and the carriage could not fit in. Jiang Bingde had no choice but to get off and squeeze into the crowd. With a grim expression, he quickly walked up to Jiang Ningwan.

He scolded in a low voice: "What are you doing here! You put the tablets of the Ling family ancestors here, are you crazy?"

Jiang Bingde blushed with embarrassment, feeling that he had completely lost face.

"Let everyone see how the Lu family insults heroes."

"This is ridiculous! Move out quickly!" Jiang Bingde quickly snatched the tablet from her hand.

At this moment, Qin Shuangchi came slowly in a wheelchair, "Duke Jiang, if we don't take care of the relationship between the Jiang and Ling families, we will be cursed."

Jiang Bingde frowned, "Your Highness the Prince of Chu, why don't you manage her? Letting her act crazy and act recklessly like this is so embarrassing and shameful!"

Qin Shuangchi remained calm and said calmly, "I don't think so."

"We haven't done anything wrong, so it's not us who are embarrassed."

Jiang Ningwan agreed, "That's right. Whoever does something wrong will be embarrassed. I'm not wrong!"

With the support of the King of Chu, Jiang Ningwan became even more unscrupulous.

Jiang Bingde's face turned pale, "You guys!"

"It's just nonsense!"

With the King of Chu protecting her, Jiang Bingde couldn't take Jiang Ningwan away by force, and couldn't persuade her, so he could only leave in anger.

He has completely lost face!

……

"absurd!"

The emperor was furious and slammed the table.

"Lu Qingheng, why did you tear down the Ling family's ancestral home?"

The incident became a big deal and spread throughout Kyoto, causing Concubine Rong to almost cry to death in front of him, and the Third Prince knelt outside his bedroom for a whole night.

Although the Ling family is guilty, the merits of their martyrs are indelible, not to mention that they are Concubine Rong's maternal family.

Lu Qingheng took out the title deed and said, "I bought the house. It belongs to me. I can dispose of it as I please, right?"

Upon hearing this, the emperor was shocked. He did not expect that the land deed was in Lu Qingheng's hands.

Jiang Ningwan said sternly, "There are so many houses out there, but you chose to buy the Ling family's ancestral home."

"You bought it, but you demolished the house yesterday. Aren't you just trying to threaten me? The Protector General hasn't arrived in Kyoto yet. Is General Lu feeling guilty and anxious?"

Lu Qingheng retorted coldly: "The house belongs to me. I can demolish it whenever I want. What's wrong with that?"

Jiang Ningwan snorted coldly, "Of course, since you've already demolished it, I'll have to trouble General Lu to take care of my dozens of ancestors."

"You!" Lu Qingheng clenched his fists in anger.

Simply shameless.

Jiang Ningwan was certain that she didn't dare touch those tablets!

"Enough!" The emperor looked serious with a frown on his face.

"Since Lu Qingheng has bought the house, it's up to you to decide how to deal with it. But the tablets of the Ling family's ancestors can't be displayed on the street! If word gets out, is this how Daning State treats its meritorious martyrs?"

"The tablet will be placed in the Protector General's Mansion first. Rebuild the Ling family's ancestral home to its original state, and then discuss it."

Hearing this, Lu Qingheng's face turned pale instantly, "Your Majesty!"

"The Lu family and the Ling family are not related, so it's inappropriate to place the Ling family's ancestral tablets in the Lu family, right?"

Jiang Ningwan sneered coldly: "You also know that the Lu family and the Ling family are not related?"

"Then what else is there to explain? You bought the Ling family's ancestral home with bad intentions."
