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

Chapter 156 Your cousin is still alive

Jiang Ningwan got straight to the point: "Where are the bodies of the Ling family members? Are there any ashes left? If you can explain clearly, I can let your son go."

Qiu Cheng's face turned pale and he clenched his palms secretly.

"He's been dead for so long, where can I find his ashes?"

Jiang Ningwan's heart tightened.

"Not long ago, Jiang Bingde used his connections to bring back the ashes of General Ling and Ling Yaoqin from the north."

After hearing this, Qiu Cheng couldn't help but sneer.

"Isn't that what I gave him?"

"fake."

"He insisted on having it. What could I do? I just made some fake ones for him, but he actually took them seriously."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan felt a surge of anger in his heart.

But I also felt a little relieved.

The rain that day did not wash away my mother and grandfather's ashes, because they were not buried in the cold ditch.

"I heard that you broke your sister's leg for the ashes?" Qiu Cheng raised his eyebrows and said in a mocking tone.

Jiang Ningwan slowly loosened his clenched fist.

"I was thinking of giving your son some fake ashes and tricking him into thinking they were yours."

"It would be better to send him here and behead him together with you. Father and son will die and burn together, which would be a perfect ending."

"He won't be alone anymore."

The smile on Qiu Cheng's face disappeared instantly. He stood up excitedly and said angrily: "I don't have a son! That beast is not my son!"

Jiang Ningwan raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Then I'd rather send it to accompany you. You won't feel heartbroken anyway."

Qiu Cheng clenched his fists and punched the wall, causing the iron chains to rattle.

Finally, he softened his tone and begged for mercy:

"Please let my son go!"

"Your cousins ​​are still alive."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was shocked and took a step forward. "What did you say?"

"Ling Chaowen and Ling Jinlan are still alive."

"In the North."

Jiang Ningwan's heart tightened, and she wished she could go to the north immediately to rescue the person.

But Qiu Cheng added, "But I advise you not to see them again, because there are some truths that you may not be able to bear."

Qiu Cheng's meaningful words always made her feel like he was hinting at something, but such vague words would only confuse her, so it was better not to listen.

She left without looking back.

Immediately find Dr. Hong to arrange for people to rush to the north to rescue people.

We must bring back the living people no matter what!

……

At the beginning of autumn.

The emperor issued an edict, declaring that the Ling family's case of collaborating with the enemy was actually a frame-up, and pardoned the Ling family. All the members of the Ling family returned to Kyoto City, and the old general Ling Tianhe was posthumously conferred the title of Duke and granted the Duke's Mansion.

At the same time, the emperor sent people to the north to bring back the people from the Ling family.

Standing in front of the government gate, the moment Jiang Ningwan heard the imperial edict, her clenched fists slowly loosened.

She had waited for this day for too long.

After two lifetimes of hard work, he finally overturned the verdict for the Ling family.

But... Grandfather and her mother will never come back...

Suddenly, a figure appeared beside him, and said in a deep voice, "Congratulations, you have finally overturned the Ling family's verdict. Although General Ling is gone, at least you have preserved the Ling family's good reputation."

Hearing the voice, Jiang Ningwan frowned subconsciously, turned around and looked at Qin Beihuang who looked sincerely happy for her, and felt a little nauseous.

Before she died in her previous life, she begged him to present evidence, but he said that the person was dead and there was no point in overturning the verdict.

Now it sounds nice.

Ah.

"hypocritical."

She looked at Qin Beihuang with disdain and walked away.

Qin Beihuang's face changed. He congratulated her sincerely, but what was her attitude? He turned around and grabbed Jiang Ningwan's arm.

"Jiang Ningwan, how did I offend you? I sincerely congratulate you, is that wrong?"

Jiang Ningwan broke free from his hand in annoyance, "Don't touch me!"

"Your existence is a mistake, you'd better stay away from me!"

Qin Beihuang frowned, "What do you mean? Are we still going to the restaurant tonight?"

Jiang Ningwan was confused and asked, "Are you sick?"

Qin Beihuang's face turned grim. Didn't she write to him and ask him to meet her at the restaurant tonight? Why was she pretending to be so noble now?

He was about to ask for clarification, but Jiang Ningwan avoided him and ran away.

Princess Yi is still plotting to reconcile with them. This family of despicable villains should stay as far away from Qin Beihuang as possible!

He just happened to say these two sentences to Qin Beihuang, and was seen by others.

A carriage passed by her and stopped.

A delicate hand lifted the curtain, and there was only contempt on the pretty face.

"He relied on the King of Chu to overturn the Ling family's case, and now he's back to mess around with Qin Beihuang so quickly. General Jiang is really good at this! He's got both the King of Chu and Qin Beihuang in his hands!"

"We really can't learn this skill of seducing men!"

After saying this, the curtain was dropped and the carriage drove away.

Jiang Ningwan's palms clenched slightly, anger rising.

That was Zhou Tingxu, Zhou Jingxuan's younger sister.

I remember that in her previous life, after Jiang Xiru married the King of Chu and fell into the water and died, Zhou Tingxu married into the Prince of Chu's palace and became the new Princess of Chu.

I don’t know if Zhou Tingxu will enter the Prince of Chu’s Palace in this life.

Qin Beihuang was walking slowly behind him. Jiang Ningwan saw the shadow on the ground approaching and immediately ran away.

unlucky!

He happened to meet Eunuch Hai on the road, who greeted him with a smile, "General Jiang, the emperor summoned you."

"Follow me into the palace."

Seeing Eunuch Hai's delighted expression, Jiang Ningwan asked, "Is there any good news?"

"Of course, General Jiang has made great contributions this time, and the Emperor will reward you!"

Come to the imperial study room.

Qin Wenli is here too.

The emperor said with some regret: "The Ling family's injustice has been overturned. It's just a pity that General Ling is no longer with us."

"I don't know if there are any descendants left. The only blood relatives are you two cousins. Who will keep the Duke's seal?"

Qin Wenli quickly spoke up, "Father, it was Ning Wan who overturned the Ling family's case. Let her keep the Duke's Seal."

The emperor was very satisfied with this answer.

"If there are no descendants of the Ling family left alive, the person holding the seal of nobility will be the new Duke."

"Jiang Ningwan, are you willing to take it?"

Jiang Ningwan didn't hesitate, "I'm willing!"

Of course, Qin Wenli could not be allowed to take the seal of the Duke's Mansion. He was a prince and was fighting for the throne.

After taking over the seal of nobility.

The emperor spoke slowly again, "Jiang Ningwan has made great contributions in this Qiu Cheng case. I don't know what to reward you with."

"This golden crane jade pendant was originally a promise made by the retired emperor to your mother. Now I am giving it to you."

"You can make a condition to me at any time."

Jiang Ningwan took the golden crane jade pendant and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

……

Yongning Palace.

Concubine Rong had been crying for a long time, her tears endless. "I finally overturned the verdict, but why are my father and the others gone now?"

"When I first learned that the Ling family's case of collaborating with the enemy could be overturned, I was thinking of waiting for the baby to be born and asking her father to give her a nickname."

Qin Wenli comforted her distressedly: "Mother, you are still pregnant. Crying too much will harm your health."

Concubine Rong could only wipe away her tears and try her best to calm down.

But the grief in her heart made it difficult for her to control herself, and tears fell.

Jiang Ningwan's eyes were red as she consoled them, "At least they can leave with a clear conscience."

"The Ling family has been a family of loyal ministers and capable generals for generations. Finally, their reputation has been vindicated."

Concubine Rong came back to her senses and asked, "By the way, I heard that Chao Wen and Jin Lan are still alive. When can they return to Kyoto?"

Jiang Ningwan was also worried when this matter was mentioned. "No news yet."

"The journey to the north is long, and the emperor's edict may not have reached the north yet."

We can only hope that these two siblings are lucky enough to hold on for a few more days.

Her people have also rushed to the north to provide support.

……

"My God, Jiang Ningwan is going to be a Duke at the age of twenty?"

When Princess Yi heard the news, she was so shocked that she fainted.
