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

Chapter 584: Have a stomachache?

Jiang Ningwan heard it all clearly. Although she didn't care about it, she couldn't help feeling uncomfortable after hearing these gossips.

Just as he was about to step forward.

Suddenly, a scolding voice was heard: "What are you talking about?"

"You guys are the ones who can discuss the affairs of the King of Chu and his wife? Aren't you afraid that Commander Jiang will lead the Dragon Guards to surround the mansion?"

When they heard this, their faces changed and they dared not say anything more.

Jiang Ningwan heard the voice and looked out. It was Li Shu who spoke for her.

She didn't know this person and had little contact with him, but Ling Chaowen had a good impression of her.

"Don't you think it's shameful to discuss other people's private affairs?" Li Shu looked at them with disdain and walked away.

On the way out, passing by the rockery, she ran into Jiang Ningwan. Li Shu was startled, "General Jiang."

When the people in the pavilion heard the sound, they turned pale with fright.

He quickly got up and ran over, looking embarrassed, thinking that Jiang Ningwan must have heard what he had just said.

But Jiang Ningwan didn't pursue the matter and looked at Li Shu. "I haven't had the chance to sit down and chat with you. I wonder if Miss Li is free?"

"Of course." Li Shu smiled brightly.

Then the two of them found a secluded place, sat down and drank tea and played chess.

"Thank you for speaking up for me just now."

Li Shu smiled sheepishly, "What's there to thank me for? I didn't do anything. You're too polite, General Jiang."

The two chatted and got to know each other better, and Jiang Ningwan also got to know a little about Li Shu's general situation.

She was four years younger than Ling Chaowen and was a lady from a prominent family in Kyoto. She had been raised in seclusion since childhood and rarely went out except for such banquets.

Because her parents love each other, she grew up in a honeypot. Although she has reached the age to get married, her parents hope that she will find someone she truly loves and stay with her for the rest of her life.

So her first condition for choosing a husband was that he did not take concubines.

Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. Isn't this just perfect?

It seems that Ling Chaowen has hope!

The two chatted for a while, and Ling Chaowen came over, "Ning Wan! Why are you here?"

The next moment, Ling Chaowen saw Li Shu was also here, and he quickly restrained himself a little, and his attitude became much gentler, "Miss Li, you are here too."

"Sorry to interrupt your chess game! The singing and dancing at the banquet has begun. Do you want to go and see?"

"This time we invited a famous zither player from Kyoto City, I think his name is Fu... Fu..."

Li Shu's eyes turned, "Fu Feng?"

Ling Chaowen clapped his hands, "Yes! It's Fufeng!"

Hearing this, Li Shu's eyes lit up and she quickly stood up. "General Jiang, let's play this game when we get back. Master Fufeng never attends any banquets. Her music is noble and pure. If you want to hear her play, it depends on fate."

"It's a rare opportunity to hear her sing today! Don't miss it!"

Seeing her so excited, Jiang Ningwan nodded quickly, "Okay, go ahead."

Li Shu walked out excitedly, quickening her pace for fear of missing it.

Jiang Ningwan walked behind and saw Ling Chaowen laughing foolishly. She asked in a low voice, "Did you invite him specially?"

"How come you can't even remember someone's name? It seems like you know nothing about piano music!"

Ling Chaowen smiled and said, "You don't understand. I can't seem too deliberate. I can't let her know that I invited this especially for her."

Jiang Ningwan looked at him helplessly, "Are you stupid?"

Ling Chaowen didn't take it seriously, "I'm smart!"

The two chatted and walked to the banquet.

Fu Feng, dressed in white, had already started playing the piano. Li Shu couldn't hide her excitement, so she sat down and began to appreciate it seriously.

When the song ended, Fu Feng stood up and left.

Li Shu felt a little reluctant and wanted to go up and say hello, but Fu Feng left quickly. She also knew Fu Feng's temperament and didn't want to disturb him any further.

At this time, a young man came over.

"Is Miss Li satisfied? This is the first time that the Fufeng musician has been invited to play a piece at such a banquet."

Seeing the person coming, Li Shu was slightly startled. "Mr. Mo, did you invite the zither player? I wonder how you did it?"

"This Fufeng musician acts solely on his own whims. He's never even attended banquets hosted by the rich and powerful despite being invited many times. Master Mo is truly amazing!"

Li Shu was immersed in joy and smiled particularly sweetly.

When Jiang Ningwan heard this, she felt something was wrong!

She turned to look at Ling Chaowen, who was also shocked, "I..."

"You are so smart!" Jiang Ningwan looked at him helplessly.

Then he walked forward and said, "Mr. Mo? You said you invited this Fufeng organist? But today's banquet was not organized by you. You are making wedding clothes for others. Mr. Mo is a good person."

"When can we hold another concert and invite the organist again?"

After being exposed, Master Mo's face froze slightly. He sneered and said, "It's not difficult to invite her. I'll hold a banquet at my house some other day and invite her over!"

Hearing this, Li Shu was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you invite the Fufeng organist today?"

Mr. Mo hesitated to speak, looked at Jiang Ningwan, and didn't dare to say anything nonsense, so he said with a stiff upper lip: "Today... is not the case."

"I'll host a banquet for her some other day. Miss Li, please do me the honor!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shu's smile instantly disappeared, and her expression turned a little colder. "Since you didn't invite me here today, why are you saying so much?"

"If you really invite her over, then we'll talk."

After saying that, Li Shu turned and left in disgust.

Ling Chaowen on the side wanted to speak, "I... I..."

But while he was hesitating, Li Shu had already walked away.

In the end, I could only look at Li Shu's back and sigh.

Jiang Ningwan patted his shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay, you still have a chance."

"Miss Li's first requirement for choosing a husband is that he doesn't take concubines. This condition can stop many people, so you have a great chance of success!"

Ling Chaowen nodded firmly, "I won't give up!"

"Wait for my good news, Ning Wan!"

After saying that, he started to chase after Li Shu.

Although I was extremely nervous, I still didn't want to waste such a good opportunity at today's banquet. I didn't know what excuse I would find to invite her out next time.

Jiang Ningwan saw Ling Chaowen running away, but there were other singing and dancing at the banquet. Since she had paid for it, she decided not to waste it, so she sat down and watched.

Just then, a man came over, sat down next to Jiang Ningwan, and handed her a bowl of sweet soup. The sweet aroma hit her. Looking at the red sticky juice in the bowl, as red as blood, Jiang Ningwan felt inexplicably nauseous.

"General Jiang, this is..." The man hadn't finished speaking.

Jiang Ningwan turned her head and began to dry heave.

The man was startled and looked at the sweet soup in the bowl, "This...this doesn't taste very good."

"General Jiang, are you okay?"

Jiang Ningwan slowed down and was extremely shocked. Why did she suddenly feel so sick?

He quickly waved his hands and said, "It's okay, this red looks like blood."

"I don't want to eat it, you take it away."

The man quickly took it away, "I see! I'm sorry, General Jiang."

But the churning feeling in Jiang Ningwan's stomach did not dissipate, so she quickly got up and left.

Ling Jinlan saw it from afar and quickly followed.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Ningwan patted his chest and said, "I don't know why, but seeing that red sweet soup makes me feel sick."

Hearing this, Ling Jinlan asked, "Have you had a stomach upset recently?"

"No."

Ling Jinlan was silent for a while, then asked softly, "Sister, is your period still regular?"

These words reminded Jiang Ningwan immediately.

"like……"

She was stunned.

Ling Jinlan's eyes lit up and he quickly grabbed her wrist to feel her pulse.
