Chapter 160 Do you want to divorce me?
Huichun Hall.
Early in the morning, Jiang Ningwan received the latest news from the North. She opened it with great anticipation, but put it down in disappointment.
"Still haven't found it..." Jiang Ningwan looked solemn.
Doctor Hong also had a worried look on his face. "General Ling is a man of great virtue. He will surely see to their safe return."
"I hope so."
Jiang Ningwan was about to walk out when suddenly Li Chun rushed into the room anxiously.
"Miss, something happened!"
"Why are you so nervous?"
Lichun looked at Doctor Hong hesitantly, feeling a little embarrassed to speak. Doctor Hong understood and left the room.
When they were the only two left, Lichun took out a small notebook.
"I found this in the Prince of Chu's mansion. A few servants were reading this storybook! It fell in the garden and was almost picked up by Xiao Lan."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ningwan looked confused. What kind of story could make Li Chun so nervous?
She took it and opened it.
Slam it shut.
It turned out to be an erotic storybook that was disgusting to watch.
"Who in the mansion is watching these? How dare you!"
Li Chun was extremely anxious and opened the storybook again. "Miss, look, this storybook describes a female general who secretly meets men every night because her husband is disabled and cannot have sex..."
"The rules in the Prince Chu's Mansion are very strict. No one dares to see these. Someone must have done this on purpose, wanting His Majesty to see it."
After carefully reading the contents of the storybook, Jiang Ningwan frowned and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.
Qin Shuangchi was disabled, and she often did not return to the Prince of Chu's Mansion.
If Qin Shuangchi saw this, he would inevitably think too much.
"Lu Qingheng must be behind this. His reputation is so bad, yet he still has the nerve to do something behind the scenes."
It's ridiculous.
Spreading rumors based on something that has no basis.
Lu Qingheng was caught having an affair in public.
"Since the original statement didn't mention me by name, you can find some scholars to embellish it. The disabled husband is described as impotent, not as having a physical disability."
"She changed her private meetings with men to having affairs at other people's parties, seeking excitement."
“Spend more money and make sure to spread the word further.”
Li Chun's eyes lit up after hearing this, "With this change, Miss has become Lu Qingheng."
"What a brilliant idea! I'll go find some more scholars to embellish and revise it."
Jiang Ningwan quickly grabbed her and said, "By the way, find out who wrote this story and find out who it is."
"it is good."
……
Return to the Prince of Chu's Mansion at night.
It was discovered that the King of Chu was still staying in the study, and the bedroom was pitch black with no lights on.
She walked forward and knocked on the study door.
"My Lord, are you asleep?"
"come in."
Pushing open the door, Qin Shuangchi was still reading a book in the chair. The night wind outside the window made the candlelight flicker, and the light flickered in his dark eyes, adding depth.
"Your Highness, thank you for what happened with Qiu Cheng before." Jiang Ningwan walked forward slowly.
If he hadn't been threatened with Qiu Cheng's illegitimate son, he wouldn't have known that Ling Jinlan and Ling Chaowen were alive.
"You don't have to be so polite with me."
After saying that, Qin Shuangchi suddenly picked up a letter from the desk and handed it to her, "Since you're back, I'll give it to you now."
Jiang Ningwan took it doubtfully.
Open it and take a look.
The three words that came into her sight made her whole body tremble—
Divorce letter!
"Divorce papers? You want to divorce me?"
Her heart tightened, and she wondered if the storybook that Lichun took today had been seen by him.
Qin Shuangchi's expression remained calm. "It's not that I want a divorce, but I'm leaving it to you to make the choice."
Jiang Ningwan frowned, not knowing what was going on.
Just as she was about to ask, Qin Shuangchi interrupted her: "Don't be in a hurry to answer me."
"Let's wait until the Ling family comes back."
"We received news today that they have already left Beimo City and should be on their way back to Kyoto."
Jiang Ningwan was delighted to hear the news from Ling Jinlan and the others, but she couldn't understand what Qin Shuangchi meant.
What does the divorce letter have to do with the Ling family?
For a moment, her heart was choked with anxiety.
She always felt that there was something insurmountable between her and Qin Shuangchi.
After a long silence, Jiang Ningwan turned around and left with the divorce papers.
I went back to my room and lay down, looking at the divorce letter from left to right, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
The King of Chu's thoughts are really hard to guess.
Is it because of the storyline?
But strangely enough, when Xiao Lan saw her and went out the next morning, he still respectfully called her "Madam!"
The servants in the mansion also called her Princess.
Nothing has changed.
Is this a divorce or not?
But no matter what, she had to prove her innocence in the matter of the storybook and not let Qin Shuangchi misunderstand her.
I originally wanted to track down the scholar who wrote the storybook, but I ran into Qin Beihuang on the way.
When Jiang Ningwan saw him, she immediately quickened her pace, trying to avoid him.
But she didn't expect Qin Beihuang to catch up with her and grab her arm.
"Jiang Ningwan! Have you had enough of this?"
The angry question that came right at her head made her feel furious.
She angrily shook his hand off, "If you're sick, go get treated!"
"Don't yell at me."
Qin Beihuang's face was sullen as he pulled out a letter from his pocket. "It's been half a month! You sent me a letter every day asking me to meet up, but I haven't kept a single one!"
"Have you had enough of your fun? How long will it last?"
Jiang Ningwan was extremely shocked when these words came out.
I snatched the letter from his hand and opened it. The disgusting words there were simply unbearable to read.
It really is her handwriting.
Jiang Ningwan knew at a glance who wrote the letter.
"I haven't kept a single appointment, and yet you don't doubt that I didn't write this letter."
"I can't say these disgusting words, especially to you."
Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but shudder in disgust.
Qin Beihuang's face turned pale. "This is clearly your handwriting. Why don't you recognize it?"
"Do you find this fun?"
Jiang Ningwan raised the corner of her lips and said sarcastically, "Ask yourself if it's interesting or not."
"If you're tired of it, just throw it away and burn it. What's the point of keeping it? And you're still waiting for me to keep an appointment? Are you dreaming?"
Is Qin Beihuang so furious because of these letters harassing him?
No.
Because she didn't show up for the appointment.
Qin Beihuang's face turned even uglier after being exposed. He clenched his palms tightly and said angrily, "Aren't you afraid that I will show this to my uncle?"
Jiang Ningwan's eyes lit up.
"Okay, let's go to Prince Chu's mansion and confront him now. Do you dare?"
Provoked by Jiang Ningwan's words, Qin Beihuang angrily said, "Why bother going to the Prince of Chu's Mansion and confronting the Queen Mother?"
Jiang Ningwan immediately agreed: "No problem! See you at Shouchun Palace after noon!"
Seeing Jiang Ningwan's fearless attitude, Qin Beihuang was filled with anger. "Don't regret it."
The Queen Mother values her and the King of Chu so much.
If all these letters were presented to the Queen Mother, it would be hard to see whether Jiang Ningwan would be able to continue to be the Princess of Chu!
Jiang Ningwan sneered and walked away.
……
After noon.
Jiang Ningwan arrived at Shouchun Palace on time.
Soon, Qin Beihuang also arrived.
The Queen Mother was confused, "What are you two going to do with all this drama?"
Qin Beihuang stepped forward first, "Grandmother, if Jiang Ningwan wrote a letter to seduce another man without the emperor's knowledge, what should be done?"
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother was shocked.
He glanced at Jiang Ningwan and felt unbelievable.
Then he replied seriously, "Jiang Ningwan is not only the Princess of Chu, but also General Ling Wei. If she really did something so outrageous, she would be dismissed at best, or lose her position at worst."
After listening, Qin Beihuang turned around and glanced at Jiang Ningwan.
This is not a joke.
She has thought it through!
It’s not too late to beg for mercy now!
