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

Chapter 442 You actually married the murderer of your mother!

Huichun Hall.

It was a sunny day, and Jiang Ningwan came to Huichuntang to check on the progress of the antidote development.

Doctor Hong said, "The antidote for Qiyan has been developed, but the other poison, Nanjue Bamboo, is a bit more troublesome. There is no antidote for this poison in Daning."

"It might take some time to look for it in Dayan."

Jiang Ningwan nodded, "No rush, send someone to Dayan to search slowly."

Doctor Hong added, "The matter you asked me to inquire about has been resolved. Qi is no longer at the Qi family."

"Jiang Xiru and her daughter left the city a long time ago and rented a separate courtyard outside the city. The mother and daughter are hiding. Jiang Xiru almost never goes out. I don't know what she is doing."

Jiang Ningwan seemed to be lost in thought. "Just send someone to secretly watch them. Don't alert the enemy."

She wanted to see what Jiang Xiru was trying to do by hiding.

……

In the evening, just as Jiang Ningwan was preparing to return home.

Suddenly, several galloping horses passed by on the street, causing a commotion. Jiang Ningwan leaned out of the window and saw that the person riding the horse in front was Qin Shuangchi.

What happened? Why are you so anxious?

He immediately sent someone to the Prince of Chu's Palace to inquire about the situation.

Soon, the palace guards arrived to report, "Princess, the prince has gone to Dusk Ridge, and the person who has been waiting has appeared!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's eyebrows jumped.

I thought that person would never show up, but he showed up again unexpectedly.

If it really is Mo Xuzi, we must not let him escape.

No wonder Qin Shuangchi set off in such a hurry.

Afterwards, Jiang Ningwan also mounted his horse, brought some men with him, and rushed to Dusk Ridge.

It was already night when we arrived at Dusk Ridge.

The siege had already begun on Dusk Ridge, and the sounds of sword fights could be heard clearly in the darkness.

Qin Shuangchi was about to go up the mountain when he turned around and saw Jiang Ningwan rushing over, exhausted.

"Why are you following me?"

Jiang Ningwan looked towards the mountain, "Is that Mo Xuzi?"

Qin Shuangchi looked solemn and shook his head, "I'm not sure yet."

Jiang Ningwan planned to go up the mountain.

But Qin Shuangchi held her shoulder and said, "Just wait at the foot of the mountain. If he escapes down the mountain, you can stop him here."

"I'll go to the mountain and take a look!"

Jiang Ningwan nodded in agreement.

He took out another medicine bottle and poured out some pills for him. "This is an antidote pill. If it's Mo Xuzi, he will definitely be poisoned. Even if this antidote pill can't cure his poison, it can delay the spread of the poison."

Qin Shuangchi swallowed the pill without hesitation.

He then led his men up the mountain.

Jiang Ningwan waited nervously at the foot of the mountain, ready to defend herself.

All I heard was the fierce fighting on the mountain.

Wait until midnight.

Finally, there was movement in the grass on the mountain, and someone came down the mountain.

Jiang Ningwan's heart tightened, and everyone immediately gripped their weapons and became alert.

Until the guards of the Prince of Chu's Palace appeared from the darkness.

Then a figure tied up with ropes was brought over.

When they reached the bright place, Jiang Ningwan took a look at the captured man. Although she had never seen Mo Xuzi, the empty sleeves clearly showed that he was Mo Xuzi!

It turned out to be really him.

Finally caught him!

At the same time, Mo Xuzi was also looking at her, his sinister eyes were filled with a chilling coldness.

Jiang Ningwan looked back, but could not see Qin Shuangchi.

"Where is the prince?"

After waiting for a long time, Qin Shuangchi still did not show up, and almost all the guards who came down the mountain were injured and poisoned.

Jiang Ningwan immediately handed the detoxification pills she had with her to Xiao Fuxue to distribute.

She ran up the hill.

As soon as I entered the mountain, I saw Qin Shuangchi slowly appear.

Seeing him covered in blood, Jiang Ningwan's heart tightened, "Are you injured?"

Qin Shuangchi raised his hand to wipe the blood off his face, "This is Mo Xuzi's blood, not mine."

Seeing that he was safe and sound, Jiang Ningwan's heart finally settled down.

"This Mo Xuzi is not easy to catch. I think everyone is poisoned."

Qin Shuangchi glanced around and then discussed, "Why don't you take them to a nearby town to detoxify them first, and I'll go interrogate Mo Xuzi first."

The reason why he didn't kill Mo Xuzi immediately was because he still had something to ask.

Jiang Ningwan was worried. She couldn't believe it when Mo Xuzi was suddenly captured. She was afraid that it was a trick.

If she took her people away, only Qin Shuangchi and less than ten other people would be left, which would be dangerous.

"I know a place where Mo Xuzi can be imprisoned. There are also herbs to detoxify everyone."

Qin Shuangchi was puzzled, "Where?"

"Tianji Pavilion!"

Qin Shuangchi hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

Jiang Ningwan immediately went to make arrangements.

Qin Shuangchi, who was walking behind him, pressed his chest in pain, his face turning pale.

Xiao Lan was quick to lend a hand.

Qin Shuangchi raised his hand to brush it away, indicating that he should not let Jiang Ningwan know.

Then the group set off for Tianji Pavilion.

As soon as he arrived at Tianji Pavilion, Qin Shuangchi fell down due to exhaustion. Jiang Ningwan was startled and stepped forward to support him.

Subconsciously trying to feel his pulse, Xiao Lan said, "Your Highness is too tired. I'll help him get some rest."

Having said that, he carried Qin Shuangchi on his back and left in a hurry.

Jiang Ningwan and Zhu Xingtian first locked Mo Xuzi in a secret cell.

As he turned around, Mo Xuzi's sinister voice rang out: "If your mother were still alive, she would definitely regret giving birth to an unfilial daughter like you."

Jiang Ningwan paused.

She turned and looked at him, "Do you know me? Do you know my mother?"

She had no intersection or dealings with Mo Xuzi, let alone met him.

Mo Xuzi smiled smugly, the blood stains on his face making it look even more sinister. "Of course I recognize her. I had the honor of meeting your mother when she was exiled to the north. She was a woman of integrity and pride. What a pity..."

Jiang Ningwan frowned, "What a pity?"

Mo Xuzi sighed and said, "What a pity, he died a tragic death."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan unconsciously clenched her palms, and her heart ached.

Mo Xuzi continued, "Among the criminals exiled to the North, all women, especially those with good looks, will suffer inhuman torture, and their fate will be even worse than that of prostitutes..."

"Your mother is not only a beauty, but also a proud beauty, which makes her even more coveted. When I first met her, she was being harassed by several men."

"How long can one stay clean in a place like that..."

Jiang Ningwan's scalp tingled. She didn't dare to think about it and roared, "Shut up! Stop talking!"

She clenched her fists and her eyes were red.

But Mo Xuzi didn't stop, "She begged me once to give her poison so that she could die more quickly."

"I didn't give it to her. My poison is always used on evil people. At the very least, it causes bleeding and disfigurement, while at the worst, the body will fester and be tortured to death. I don't want to see a beauty like her die in such a tragic way."

"Later... she still died, but her death was a hundred times more horrific than if she had used my poison. There wasn't a single spot on her body left, naked, lying in the sun."

Jiang Ningwan's scalp tingled, and her emotions gradually lost control. She shouted angrily, "I told you to shut up! Shut up!"

Mo Xuzi saw her losing control, but seemed very satisfied.

He stared at her with a dark gaze, "Do you know who caused your mother to become like this?"

"It's the King of Chu."

"You actually married the murderer of your mother!"

When Mo Xuzi said this, Jiang Ningwan suddenly smiled calmly and said quietly, "After all this talk, the key point is the last one, right?"
