"No, I know that you, Second Young Master, have always preferred peace and quiet. If this old servant were to stay in the courtyard, you would probably have to spare some manpower to take care of me, so I will not go."

Granny Song calmly shook her head, declining Wei Jing's invitation.

"I think it's quite nice to stay in the Madam's courtyard. She is kind and doesn't like to control the servants. As long as you do your job well, there's nothing else to do, and it's quite comfortable."

What she said was true, and everyone who was busy moving things around wanted to stop and nod in agreement.

Jiang Mingwei used to dislike managing them, but now she not only doesn't manage them, she treats them even better than before, and everyone is happy to stay in her yard.

Wei Jing looked surprised, not expecting that not only was Granny Song unwilling to leave with him, but she also praised Jiang Mingwei.

"The old woman seems to really like my sister-in-law?"

He lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear him, but then he saw Granny Song smile slightly.

"It's not that I like her, it's just that Madam is indeed more interesting than others, so this old servant pays special attention to her!"

"Then we'll do as you say, you can continue to stay with your sister-in-law. If you need anything, you can send someone to let me know."

"I will never forget the help that Granny has given me over the years, and now... it is time for me to repay her."

Wei Jing spoke in a deep voice, his eyes lowered, his dark eyes filled with gratitude.

Rong Momo looked up, gazing at the face that resembled the deceased's, and patted Wei Jing's hand.

"Second Young Master, there's no need to be so polite. It's just what this old servant should do."

Jiang Mingwei, who was leisurely strolling on the street at that moment, had no idea that her home had been raided.

Hua Cui followed beside her, sweating profusely with anxiety.

"Miss, didn't you say you had urgent business to attend to? Why are you wandering around? Hurry up and finish what you need to do so we can head back early and maybe we can still make it in time for the auspicious hour!"

"Eating, drinking, and having fun are definitely the urgent matters!"

Jiang Mingwei smiled and put a jade hairpin on Hua Cui's head, then picked up a mirror for her to see.

Looking at the hairpin on her head, Hua Cui chuckled, then quickly realized what it meant.

Wait, she can't be bought off by a hairpin!

“Miss, I can tell you don’t really want to move, do you? That won’t do. If we move too late and the ladies of the powerful families in Bianjing find out, they might secretly gossip about your situation in the mansion…”

"As expected of my good Hua Cui, you guessed right! I just don't want to move. Let them say what they want! Think about it, once they're all gone, we'll be living in the Wei residence alone, with no one to supervise us, no backstabbing, and life will be much more comfortable than it is now. Why do we have to go up there and join in the fun?"

Jiang Mingwei pinched Hua Cui's cheek and spoke calmly.

But Hua Cui was still worried that Jiang Mingwei would become a laughing stock.

Our young lady has already suffered enough; if she were to be ridiculed by others, it would be truly pitiful!

"Miss……"

"Alright, alright, I do need to go to Huarong Clothing Store. If they've moved out by the time we get back, then you can shut up; if they haven't moved out yet, I'll go with them. Is that alright?"

Hearing Hua Cui's drawn-out, coquettish tone, Jiang Mingwei had no choice but to appease her, and Hua Cui finally pouted and nodded.

Jiang Mingwei sighed, bought the jade hairpin for Hua Cui, and led her toward Hua Rong Clothing Store, but she couldn't help but make plans in her mind.

Today is a joyous occasion for the Wei family as they move into their new home. They are so eager to move that they have probably already finished.

No one in the household likes her, so why would they deliberately stay for her sake?

By the time she gets back, the entire Wei residence will probably have been emptied out. At that point, Hua Cui will have no choice but to acknowledge it!

Upon entering Huarong Clothing Store, Dongyue saw her for the first time and immediately greeted her with a smile.

"Miss, you've arrived!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the other employees looked over and greeted Jiang Mingwei.

Jiang Mingwei nodded and asked Dongyue, "Where is Aunt Lan?"

"The shopkeeper is in the backyard. Ever since Miss sent over the clothing designs last time, he has been full of praise for them and has been making clothes with the tailors ever since. Miss, why don't you go and take a look!"

“Okay, I’ll go take a look.” Jiang Mingwei’s eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly as she walked towards the backyard.

She came to Huarong Clothing Store today for two reasons: first, to avoid the limelight for a while, and second, to see how the clothes were being made.

Now that the Wei family has moved, they will definitely hold a housewarming banquet. Even if she doesn't move to the General's Mansion, she will still have to attend that day.

There's a high probability that a distinguished person will come, so even though her husband has just died, she can't dress too casually; she needs to find an elegant yet appropriate dress.

It would be best if I could get the dresses I designed myself, and I could also get free publicity.

So when I heard from Dongyue that the designs she drew had already been made into clothes, I naturally wanted to go and see if there was a suitable one to take.

Sure enough, the tailors were busy at work, while in another room were the embroidery workers.

Although the business of Huarong Clothing Store is not as good as before, it still operates in a very orderly manner.

"Aunt Lan."

Looking at the slender figure supervising the work, Jiang Mingwei called out softly.

Liu Rulan turned around and saw that it was Jiang Mingwei. Her eyes lit up and she quickly went forward to pull her along.

"What brings you here today? But you've come at the perfect time. Aunt Lan has seen the designs of the clothes you sent, and they are absolutely exquisite! The tailors are full of praise for them too."

"Aunt Lan thought you were just saying that casually, but I didn't expect you to actually have talent!"

She couldn't help but praise him, and Jiang Mingwei blushed.

"I'm happy if I can help. I heard from Dongyue that some clothes have been made. Could I take a look?"

"Of course, come with me!"

Liu Rulan nodded, took Jiang Mingwei's hand, and walked out of the tailor room, talking as they went.

“Even if you hadn’t come today, I was planning to send someone to call you over in the next few days. Luckily, you came at the right time. Five pieces have been made, and the craftsmen plan to finish them all before promoting them one by one. We still need to establish Huarong Clothing Store’s high-end reputation. We can’t let your mother-in-law do whatever she wants anymore!”

"I trust your abilities, Aunt Lan. Just do what you think is best," Jiang Mingwei nodded with a smile.

The two entered a room, and after pushing the door open, Jiang Mingwei almost couldn't help but gasp in surprise!

There was no furniture in the room; all the clothes were hung up after they were finished, so that their entirety could be seen.

The five strips displayed in the center were none other than her design.

Each piece is graceful and flowing, with a touch of ingenuity compared to traditional dresses, making them look both luxurious and elegant.

"How about it? Isn't the finished product even more stunning than the original design? Even the other craftsmen are impressed!"

Jiang Mingwei stepped forward and touched it; the soft fabric felt almost ethereal to the touch.

She nodded. "It really does look beautiful. I didn't expect it to turn out so well!"

"Yes, as long as we release your designs and charge according to the original rules, Huarong Clothing Store will definitely be revived soon."

Liu Rulan's eyes reddened, "If your mother were still alive, she would be extremely proud to have such a remarkable daughter as you!"
