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

Chapter 371 Are you jealous?

Xiang Sui lowered her head and bowed to Jiang Ningwan.

"I'm going to do the butterfly dance for the dinner tonight, so I need to catch some butterflies. I'm really sorry for scaring the young lady just now."

Jiang Ningwan said in a cold tone: "Be careful next time."

Xiangsui was startled, "Yes."

Miss Xu looked at Jiang Ningwan with even more contempt.

The queen in the pavilion not far away also noticed this scene, "Whose lady is that? She seems to have a kind heart."

Jinkui replied respectfully, "It's Xu Yunshu, the second daughter of the Xu family. Her father works in the Ministry of Revenue."

"Give her some treats."

"Yes."

Xu Yunshu was about to help Xiangsui leave. Jiang Ningwan frowned and wanted to remind her, but this person seemed unfriendly to her. How should she start?

Just then Hibiscus arrived, holding a plate of exquisite pastries.

"Second Miss Xu, this is a gift from the Empress. The Empress praised you for your kindness."

Xu Yunshu's eyes suddenly lit up, unable to hide her joy.

He quickly took the snack.

"Yun Shu thanks the Queen!"

Then Xu Yunshu looked at Xiang Sui and said, "I was able to get this box of snacks because of you. Let's eat together?"

Xiang Sui smiled and said, "Yes."

Then the two of them left together.

Watching them leave, Pei Xunzhi said, "This Xu Yunshu seems to be trying to curry favor with someone. Why would she curry favor with the maid of the Fourth Prince of Dayan?"

Seeing that no one was around, Ling Jinlan lowered his voice and said, "Xu Yunshu's father works in the Ministry of Revenue. He has been a sixth-rank official for many years and has never been promoted."

"I heard that she discussed marriage with the Zhou family some time ago, but Zhou Yu didn't like her."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but frown.

"This Miss Xu seems gentle and virtuous, with a pretty face. How could she be attracted to someone like Zhou Yu? If they really get together, wouldn't it be like sticking a flower in cow dung?"

Pei Xunzhi said: "That's not important! What's important is that she is hostile to you and Jinlan!"

"That's why you were so weird just now."

"Why should we worry about other people's marriages?"

Jiang Ningwan nodded thoughtfully. After all, other people’s fate was none of her business.

However, the next moment she thought that among the ministers whose families were destroyed and their loved ones killed by the Fourth Prince's secret technique in her previous life, one of them was an official from the Ministry of Revenue.

Is it...

Thinking of this, Jiang Ningwan thought about it and realized that Xu Yunshu didn't have much grudge against her.

It’s better to give a reminder or two.

"Xunzhi, she shouldn't be hostile to you. Go and remind her later to stay away from Dayan's people."

Pei Xunzhi was stunned after hearing this. "She can't be so unlucky, right? What would the Fourth Prince of Dayan do to her?"

Jiang Ningwan: "It's not necessarily directed at her, maybe it's just bad luck."

"Let's go and remind them."

Pei Xunzhi nodded thoughtfully, but also felt embarrassed. "Then I can only try my best to persuade you. If you don't listen to me, there's nothing I can do."

After all, they can't expose themselves.

You can only try your best to remind others within the scope that does not threaten yourself.

Jiang Ningwan also understood this.

Even if she told the truth, no one would believe her because she was reborn and knew who would be unlucky.

After some time, Pei Xunzhi found an opportunity and stopped Xu Yunshu alone.

Advise her not to get too close to people from Dayan.

After all, they are from other countries, and getting too close to them will only get you into trouble.

But after hearing this, Xu Yunshu snorted coldly: "What? The Queen gave me some snacks today, are you jealous?"

"Jiang Ningwan asked you to come, didn't she? You're the daughter of Marquis Wu, so don't keep chasing after Jiang Ningwan like a running dog. She has too many dogs, and she wouldn't give you a bone even if she had one."

This made Pei Xunzhi look unhappy, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"I'm trying to persuade you with good intentions, and you're still speaking ill of me?"

"What do you have that I should be jealous of? I'm coming here specifically to remind you, you're just bored!"

After saying that, Pei Xunzhi left angrily.

When Pei Xunzhi relayed this to Jiang Ningwan, Jiang Ningwan could only sigh helplessly.

Everyone has his own life.

It is not easy to protect yourself and the people you care about.

……

As soon as it got dark, lanterns were lit in the palace, illuminating the entire place.

There was constant singing and dancing in the Bihe Palace.

At the banquet, the Fourth Prince of Dayan suddenly mentioned Jiang Ningwan, "I had heard of the name of the Princess of Chu before I came here. She is a brave, resourceful, and skilled female general. I admire her very much."

"I brought a moon-picking spear with me this time. It weighs twenty kilograms and few people can lift it."

"Would I have the honor of seeing Jiang Ningwan dance with a spear?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone started talking about it.

Twenty pounds?

Even many men present could only pick it up but could not dance with it.

Jiang Ningwan was silent.

Xu Yunshu, who was not far away, smiled and said, "A twenty-jin spear shouldn't be a problem for a brave and skilled general. General Jiang, why don't you let us open our eyes?"

Qin Beihuang suddenly spoke up: "It's not just a matter of weight. The spear is too big, and it's much harder to wield than to hold. The spear that General Jiang often uses weighs ten pounds, which is more than enough to kill the enemy in battle."

Xu Yunshu looked at him meaningfully, then looked at Jiang Ningwan.

"General Qin is willing to speak up for General Jiang, but His Royal Highness the King of Chu hasn't spoken yet."

"Besides, we don't have General Jiang's abilities. We just want to see him. Is the reputation of General Jiang that's spread everywhere just for show?"

After several rounds of provocation, Jiang Ningwan stood up.

"let me try."

Xie Yongan's eyes flashed with success, "Come here, bring the moon spear!"

Two guards came with spears in hand.

This spear is longer than an ordinary spear. For a woman with a large body, such a large spear is very heavy.

However, the moment it was lifted up, Jiang Ningwan picked it up with one hand and began to dance with ease.

It was so sudden that everyone present was shocked.

Such a heavy spear, in Jiang Ningwan's hand, was as light as a sword. He moved gracefully, and his thrusts were fast and steady, without even his wrist shaking.

There were sounds of exclamations coming from the hall.

But at this moment, Jiang Ningwan suddenly felt itchy on the back of her hand.

A red bug flew over and started crawling on her hand.

Jiang Ningwan simply shook his spear hard, and the sharp aura blew the insects away.

The tiny bugs were flying in the air and anyone who was nearby noticed them.

Jiang Ningwan was agile and swift, brandishing his spear and stabbing into the air.

It actually stabbed the insect firmly and pinned it to the ground.

Everyone who saw this scene was stunned. "General Jiang is such a great marksman! He can even hit such a small insect!"

The smaller the item, the less accurate it is.

Jiang Ningwan's marksmanship is so amazing!

Xie Yongan's face was stiff.

The emperor was overjoyed, "Jiang Ningwan's skills really didn't disappoint me!"

"I will reward you handsomely!"

Jiang Ningwan brought a lot of honor to Daning.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After saluting, Jiang Ningwan glanced at Xie Yongan and threw the spear to him.

It was clearly a light throw, but Xie Yongan had a hard time catching it.

His face was stiff, and he held the heavy spear in both hands and handed it to the guard behind him, "General Jiang is indeed worthy of his reputation!"

Jiang Ningwan said indifferently, "You're welcome."

Returning to her seat, she poured herself a cup of tea.

He lowered his voice and said quietly, "Did you see that red bug?"

Qin Shuangchi also drank tea to cover up his mouth shape, "I've seen it several times today."
