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

Chapter 424: One Dead Body and Two Lives at the Wedding Banquet

As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Ni's hand holding the teacup trembled violently, and she looked at her with wide eyes.

"What did you say!"

She glanced at Jiang Xiru's abdomen and felt unbelievable.

"The Fourth Prince has been gone for over two months. How many months pregnant are you?"

Jiang Xiru replied calmly, "Three months."

Hearing this, Concubine Ni stood up and looked at her belly. "It doesn't look like it's been three months."

Although Jiang Xiru was panicking in her heart, she tried her best to remain calm on the surface.

"I didn't dare let Qin Chengqian know. He wouldn't tolerate this child, so it wasn't obvious."

Concubine Ni still had doubts in her heart, "This child might be Qin Chengqian's, not necessarily the Fourth Prince's."

Jiang Xiru said frankly: "That's right, it depends on whether you are willing to gamble."

"If I personally deal with Fan Ruoshuang, my child will most likely be exposed and die."

After hearing this, Concubine Ni felt a little heavy-hearted, thinking about how much the Fourth Prince valued this woman. If it were the Fourth Prince, he would definitely be willing to wait until the child was born to do a blood test to confirm his paternity.

"Okay, I agree to this."

Jiang Xiru breathed a sigh of relief after receiving this answer. "Then I'll trouble you."

After saying that, Jiang Xiru turned and left.

There was a hint of pride in his eyes.

Touching his belly, he thought, now he should go find a woman who is three months pregnant.

If this child can get Concubine Ni to help her once, she can help her many times.

I just hope that Concubine Ni can get away with it after taking action.

After leaving the palace, Jiang Xiru secretly contacted her mother, and the mother and daughter left the Duke's Mansion and found a small villa to live in.

……

A month later.

The princess married Lu Lingsong.

Although Prince Yi's Mansion didn't have much money, it was the princess's wedding after all, so it had to be grand.

The emperor and the empress also gave out a lot of special rewards. The wedding was grand with ten miles of red wedding ceremonies.

Qin Suyi was wearing a phoenix crown and a bridal robe, looking like the bright moon, and Lu Lingsong was imposing and majestic. The two of them looked particularly well-matched standing together.

In the wedding hall, Jiang Ningwan stood in an inconspicuous place, quietly watching the two people get married.

She wasn't originally going to come today, but since she had been invited five times, it would have been inappropriate not to come.

Besides, even the eldest prince and the third prince were invited to the wedding, so how could she not come?

"Today's wedding is truly magnificent."

"That's right. I heard that General Lu emptied his family fortune to marry the princess. He is truly sincere to her."

Qin Suyi also heard these words when she was taken away.

She thought that Lu Lingsong should also be a good husband.

After the ceremony, the banquet started soon.

Jiang Ningwan sat at the same table with Qin Wenli, Qin Chengqian and others, just wanting to finish eating quickly and leave.

But halfway through the meal, Fan Ruoshuang suddenly covered her stomach in discomfort.

"Your Highness... I... my stomach hurts..."

The sound startled everyone around.

"Ruoshuang! What's wrong? What happened to you?" Qin Chengqian panicked and shouted, "Call the doctor! Quick!"

Fan Ruoshuang's face turned pale with pain and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.

Many people gathered around, and Lu Lingsong also came over to ask.

But where can we find a royal physician at this wedding banquet?

Jiang Ningwan couldn't bear it any longer, so she stepped forward to check it out. "Let me take a look."

She just picked up Fan Ruoshuang's wrist.

Suddenly, a strong force pushed her shoulder, causing Jiang Ningwan to stagger.

"Get out of here! Who knows if it was you who did this?"

Qin Chengqian shouted angrily.

Jiang Ningwan was immediately filled with anger, "Your Highness, don't speak nonsense without evidence!"

Qin Wenli also stood up to protect Jiang Ningwan, his expression serious, "Brother, Ningwan also has good intentions, you are going too far."

At this moment, blood was already flowing from Fan Ruoshuang's legs. Someone saw it and was extremely worried.

He advised: "It's bleeding! It's bleeding! Your Highness, please let General Jiang take a look. She is the apprentice of Divine Doctor Qiu, and her medical skills are very powerful!"

Fan Ruoshuang was in so much pain that she didn't have the strength to speak and fell into Qin Chengqian's arms.

When Qin Chengqian saw the blood, he went even more crazy.

He yelled at Lu Lingsong: "Imperial Physician! Call the Imperial Physician, didn't you hear me?"

Lu Lingsong quickly explained: "I've already been there! But it will take time for the imperial physician to come!"

Everyone around was shocked.

"Your Highness, please let General Jiang take a look. Saving people is the most important thing."

Jiang Ningwan observed that Fan Ruoshuang's condition was not good. Her face had quickly turned pale and bloodless, so she hurriedly stepped forward.

"Your Highness, human life is at stake!"

"It's a bit cold outside, how about bringing him into the room first?"

But Qin Chengqian was on guard and didn't listen to a word she said.

He pointed at her and said angrily, "Get away from me!"

He swept his sharp eyes over Qin Wenli and the others, "You just want to harm the emperor's eldest grandson, you want to harm me!"

"I won't fall for your tricks! I'll just wait here for the doctor to come. No one is allowed to touch her!"

Qin Chengqian's eyes were wide open and his tone was sharp, as if everyone in front of him was an enemy who wanted to harm the emperor's eldest grandson.

But seeing that Fan Ruoshuang was dying, Jiang Ningwan was extremely anxious. She knew that rushing over now would cause trouble, but she couldn't bear to watch Fan Ruoshuang die here!

She turned her head and glanced at Qin Wenli, "Cousin."

Knowing what she wanted to do, Qin Wenli nodded.

Then he stepped closer to Qin Chengqian and said, "Brother, no matter what, save her life first!"

"Let Ning Wan take a look!"

Qin Chengqian reacted violently, "Don't come over here!"

But Qin Wenli hugged Qin Chengqian without saying a word.

Jiang Ningwan and Xie Lianyi took the opportunity to step forward. Xie Lianyi took off her coat and put it on Fan Ruoshuang, supporting her and shielding her from the wind.

After Jiang Ningwan took the pulse and checked, the child was gone, but Fan Ruoshuang was also in critical condition, her whole body burning.

It was as if she had taken incompatible foods that had caused poisoning. She glanced at the food on the table. There were so many types that she didn't know what the cause was.

He quickly took out the detoxification pills and heart-protecting pills and gave them to Fan Ruoshuang to take.

Save your life first!

Qin Chengqian was still shouting, "Qin Wenli, you killed the emperor's eldest grandson. I wonder how you're going to explain this to our father!"

Qin Wenli frowned, holding him tightly with both arms, "Don't go crazy!"

It was also at this time that Qin Chengqian realized that he was not as strong as Qin Wenli.

So Qin Wenli's martial arts skills are not as good as his, so is he pretending?

His mind was about to explode at that moment.

Fan Ruoshuang slowly woke up at this time. Looking at Jiang Ningwan, whose face was full of concern, she expressed gratitude in a weak voice: "Thank you..."

Jiang Ningwan touched her forehead and found that her fever was not as high as before.

He should have saved his life temporarily.

Finally, the imperial physician arrived, but there was no time to take Fan Ruoshuang anywhere else, so he could only borrow a room in Lu Lingsong's house.

Qin Chengqian picked up Fan Ruoshuang and hurried into the room, and the imperial physician also trotted over.

"Doctor Wang, you must save the child!"

Doctor Wang was embarrassed, "I will do my best."

Qin Chengqian didn't let anyone else go in, so Jiang Ningwan and the others could only wait outside.

He also asked Lu Lingsong to keep the food on the table and no one else could touch it.

Naturally, Lu Lingsong didn't have a good attitude towards her.

But he still did as Jiang Ningwan said.

After all, no one can afford to take the responsibility for the death of the emperor's eldest grandson. Only by preserving the evidence can we prove our innocence and avoid being implicated.

After waiting for a long time, the door finally opened.

Doctor Wang came out.

"What happened?" Jiang Ningwan asked quickly.

Doctor Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said regretfully, "It's all my fault for coming too late. Two lives have been lost."
