On second thought, she wasn't afraid anymore; her daughter would soon be the wife of the heir apparent, and she'd have someone backing her up.

Her daughter has finally made it through, and Dewdrop is in a great mood.

"How about hot pot for dinner, miss?" Dewdrop smiled, staring intently at Jiang Wei, her mouth practically drooling.

Looking at Lu Zhu's smiling face, Jiang Wei cherished it and felt very happy. She said indulgently, "Okay...okay...okay...let's eat hot pot."

"Hmm," Dewdrop happily went to make the arrangements, but when she returned, she suddenly thought, "The young lady wouldn't think that I'm just craving hot pot, would she?"

The water droplet replied, with a mixture of doubt and certainty, "Didn't you want to eat it? You're really spoiling me, girl."

"Sister Waterdrop, the young lady won't let us light a charcoal fire in the house. It's so cold, how can we do that? So I thought we'd cook a hot pot to warm her up. I won't take advantage of the young lady's favor and forget my duty." Waterdrop was puffed up with anger, feeling quite aggrieved.

Water Droplet held Dewdrop's hand and said gently, "It's our blessing that the young lady is so good to us. With such a good mistress, we should always consider her needs so that outsiders won't think that she's bad at managing her subordinates and doesn't respect her."

Dewdrop nodded. Sister Waterdrop was right. "Anyone who dares to mess with the girl, I will mess with her."

Jiang Wei found it amusing yet also delightful to see them whispering to each other at the door. She hadn't seen such a relaxed and vibrant atmosphere in a long time.

The courtyard gate was violently pushed open with a creak.

Jiang frowned slightly; there seemed to be an unusually large number of people and things she disliked today.

Aunt Liu walked in, supported by her maid, followed by an old woman, acting like the mistress of the house.

Aunt Liu's face looked exceptionally fierce in the darkness; with no outsiders around, she no longer needed to pretend.

Jiang Wei has already made a big mistake today. Although we can't kill her, we can take half her life. Let's see how long she can endure after marrying into the Marquis's mansion.
