Jiang Wei held up her hands; although her palms were still a little red, the swelling had almost completely subsided.
The medicine Xiao Zhan gave him was indeed effective. After he found Jiang Wei and had her use it once, he gave the medicine to her.
Last night, after Jiang Wei took a bath, Lu Zhu applied medicine to her again. When Lu Zhu changed the dressing this morning, her hand was much better.
Jiang Wei could barely eat by herself, but Lu Zhu insisted on feeding her, saying that her young lady was so badly injured, and it was a dereliction of duty for a maid not to take good care of her.
Jiang Wei had no choice but to let her feed her.
After finishing breakfast, Jiang Wei decided to go back to the place where she lost the jade pendant yesterday to see if she could still find it, and whether the dragon pendant was still in the snow.
"Dewdrop, bring me my cloak and put it on me." Jiang Wei stood at the door, waiting for Dewdrop.
Dewdrop hurriedly stood in front of Jiang Weiwo, anxiously supporting her young lady's arm, "Miss, you're already like this, why do you still have to go out? Can't you rest for a few days? Madam will feel sorry for you if you work so hard every day."
"I won't go out, my daughter. I'll just stroll around in the yard," Jiang Wei said.
"Okay, miss." Seeing that Jiang Wei wasn't going out, Dewdrop hurried over to get the cloak and put it on her.
Dewdrop picked at her fingers. "I was bought to be your maid when I was little. You are good to me, but I dare not overstep my bounds. I just hope you can let me stay by your side at all times. Please don't think I'm stupid and clumsy. Please let me stay by your side and take care of you. I can't live without you."
After saying that, Dewdrop looked at Jiang Wei expectantly.
When Jiang Wei returned yesterday, Lu Zhu saw the injury on her hand and wished she could take her place. She secretly regretted why she had stayed at home for so long instead of taking care of her daughter. If she had been by her daughter's side, she would have taken her place and spared her daughter from suffering.
"How could I possibly dislike you! I will never dislike our Dewdrop in this lifetime." Jiang Wei touched her face with her hand.
Let's go!
Dewdrop nodded with delight and followed behind Jiang Wei.
Lian Sang dared not leave Jiang Wei's side for even a moment, and followed them outside.
"Really?" Jiang Wei asked, standing where she had argued with her father yesterday.
Lian Sang and Lu Zhu straightened up and shook their heads. Shui Zhu and the others had come to look for this place yesterday.
They searched the place thoroughly again, but still couldn't find it.
'Where can we go?' Jiang Wei circled the area, looked around carefully, but still couldn't find anything.
The three of them searched carefully again, but still couldn't find it, so they had to return to Breeze Courtyard.
Jiang Wei was holding the jade pendant; how could it have been lost?
After lunch, Jiang Wei was preparing to take a short rest before heading to her maternal grandfather's house for a welcome dinner hosted by her third uncle.
Her father then sent someone to invite her to the front hall to meet the guests.
Jiang Wei decided to bring along the gifts she was going to give to her maternal grandfather and Xiao Zhan as a token of her gratitude.
She planned to take a look in the front hall and then go directly to her maternal grandfather's house.
Jiang Wei rummaged through the house for about fifteen minutes before slowly getting up and walking towards the front hall.
"Go and invite the Third Miss and her husband, and tell them to wait for me in the carriage," Jiang Wei instructed Yu Zhu as she left.
Jiang Zai Shui sent people to urge her several times, but she didn't take it to heart at all.
When Jiang Wei arrived at the front hall, she saw Aunt Xu arguing with Jiang Zaishui.
"My lord, I have never seen or heard of any family that would marry their legitimate daughter off to another family to be a concubine."
Does the master have no regard for his own reputation?
"Has Your Excellency informed the elders of the Jiang family? Do they approve of you causing such disgrace to the Jiang family?"
Aunt Xu stood at the lower end, questioning Jiang Zaishui with considerable force.
Jiang Zai Shui was furious. He had initially felt some goodwill towards Aunt Xu's previous attempt to make amends.
He hadn't gone to see her because of her health condition, but Aunt Xu had taken the initiative to come looking for him since last night.
But when she finally said that she wasn't clean yet, he had no choice but to give up.
When Jiang Zai Shui saw her, he was happy for a while. He could get rid of that rebellious daughter Jiang Wei soon, and he would have a beauty in his arms.
I suppose Aunt Xu's health has improved these past few days!
In a couple of days, she will definitely offer herself to him to please him, after all, they still need him to make a good living in this family.
Jiang Zai Shui looked at Aunt Xu with eyes full of desire. If he hadn't already discussed it with Xiao Zhi Jie, he would have brought several loads of things today as betrothal gifts for Jiang Wei and also to meet her.
He really wanted to pin Aunt Xu down right now and have some fun with her.
Who would have thought that as soon as Aunt Xu came in, she started to pester him to cancel the marriage with Jiang Wei. How could that be possible!
Don't even think about it; this is a good marriage that he finally managed to find.
It would be quite beneficial to his career, so why would he be asked to break off the engagement and offend his superior?
Just because of her, Jiang Wei?
Don't even think about it!!
Unexpectedly, Aunt Xu dared to argue with him when he refused to agree. She must have had too good a life all these years!
Just as Jiang Zai Shui was about to order someone to drag Aunt Xu away and lock her up, that annoying Jiang Wei arrived again.
Jiang Wei walked to Aunt Xu's side and had Lu Zhu hand the hot water bottle to her. "Father is so powerful. Why is it that Father's skills are only used on the family? Once he leaves the house, he becomes a quail?"
"You unfilial daughter, I am your father!" Jiang Zaishui stood up and braced his hands on the table. He wanted to get down and slap her a few times, but Xiao Zhijie would arrive soon, and it wouldn't look good for her with her injured face.
Jiang Wei covered her ears with her hands for a while. "I know, so what? Father, can you say something a little more interesting? I'm tired of hearing it."
Jiang Zai Shui's face turned green with anger.
Jiang Wei seemed not to notice, saying, "It's nothing, your daughter and aunt will be leaving now."
Jiang Wei was about to turn around when Jiang Zai Shui roared behind her, "Who told you to leave? Stop right there!"
The man who will take you as his concubine will arrive soon; you should meet him today.
“Since Father enjoys being a concubine so much, and has already chosen a candidate, then you can be his concubine. I will not take what belongs to someone else.” Jiang Wei walked out, ignoring Jiang Zai Shui’s words.
"You unfilial daughter, what are you saying? Stop right there!" Jiang Zai Shui picked up the inkstone beside him and threw it at Jiang Wei.
Seeing this, Aunt Xu quickly hugged Jiang Wei, holding her in her arms, and closed her eyes tightly, trying to shield her from the flying inkstone.
In an instant, Lian Sang drew his whip from his waist and flicked it, causing the inkstone to fall straight down in front of Jiang Zaishui, splitting in two.
Jiang Zai Shui's pupils dilated, her hands trembling, "Are you trying to kill your father?"
“How could I? How could your daughter let you tarnish her reputation?” Jiang Wei said with a smile. “You are not worthy.”
“However, if Father wants to become famous in the capital, I can help you. Don’t forget that contract.”
If it weren't for the need to save face for Mingzhao, Jiang Wei would have already made Jiang Zaishui famous throughout the capital and kicked him out of her mother's house.
