Since everyone was equally incompetent, her tone became much more considerate: "Since you didn't bring it today, how about we exchange it next time?"
Jiang Yu, of course, would not refuse, and nodded with a smile, agreeing: "At that time, I will find you a folding fan for women as an apology for the disturbance."
"Need not!"
Wei Wei immediately replied, "Next time we can just return each other's things, no need to bother."
Jiang Yu didn't insist, but nodded in agreement: "Then it's settled."
"Miss Wei, then we'll see you next time."
Having said that, he stood up from his seat.
His stature was so tall that Wei Wei had to look up at him.
Seeing that he was about to leave, she immediately got up and took two steps after him, her expression pleading: "Young master, please do not associate with my brother anymore."
To be on the safe side, she reiterated, "He's just a child, unable to control his words and actions, and it's inevitable that he'll do things inappropriately."
Looking into her earnest eyes, Jiang Yu's heart softened: "I understand, Miss Wei, don't worry."
"Your brother is safer than anyone else."
He glanced outside and then said considerately, "If Miss Wei has nothing else to do, she can rest here for a while."
"The money for the side room has already been paid, so there's no need to ask about it again later."
He looked at her, a seductive smile playing on his lips: "Then, Miss Wei, have a good time."
Having said that, he strode out the door.
Wei Wei watched his figure disappear. Xiao Yue'er hurriedly came in and asked curiously, "Miss, which family does that young master belong to?"
Wei Wei gave a bitter smile. How did she know?
She was unaware of this, which is why she felt worried about his unprovoked approach to Wei Xin.
However, when her gaze fell on Leng Pusheng at the door, she perked up again.
"Brother Leng."
"Please go and find out who this person is."
Leng Pusheng agreed, but his lowered gaze was filled with complex emotions.

They didn't stay at Chunfeng Tower for long and quickly hurried back.
After a short rest, Granny Chun came in: "Young Madam, someone has come to visit, and the Second Madam has already gone to entertain them."
Granny Chun's expression was very strange as she spoke, and she stammered for a while before saying, "It's a young lady. She said she just moved across the street and came to visit me."
Wei Wei smiled nonchalantly: "We're all neighbors, so it's perfectly fine for us to come and visit. What did you hear, Granny?"
Granny Chun said, "That woman originally intended to visit the young mistress..."
At this point, his face showed some anger: "It was about visiting the young mistress, but the second mistress took it upon herself to say that you were not feeling well and did not wish to see guests."
Wei Wei found it absurd that Madam Meng was making decisions for her on her behalf.
She looked at Xiaoqiao'er: "Go and find out."
Xiaoqiao came back very quickly.
"She is a young lady from a wealthy family, who brought many precious tonics to visit."
"I heard from everyone that she was dressed very luxuriously."
Now that you put it that way, she understands.
No one would complain about having too few good things around them. As long as Madam Meng received her, these things would belong to Madam Meng.
If Wei Wei is called out, then where will she get any of these things?
Listening to Xiao Qiao'er's description, Wei Wei's initially indifferent expression gradually turned gloomy, and she vaguely had a premonition about who the person who came was.
Was this done on purpose to annoy her?
When she returned to the dormitory, she glanced at Meng Zhixuan, who was still fast asleep, with her eyes half-closed, and said in a soft and indifferent voice: "What kind of noble lady would want to see me, Zhixuan, can you guess?"
She sighed with great regret: "If only you could wake up, then my second aunt wouldn't have deliberately kept me inside Tingfeng Pavilion and prevented me from seeing you."
After saying those two sentences, she stood still and didn't make a sound. Sure enough, after a while, she saw Meng Zhixuan's tightly closed eyes begin to move erratically.
This was the second time she had seen it.
Although he had used a method to prevent Meng Zhixuan from opening his eyes and moving, Meng Zhixuan could still hear him.
It's good that we can hear it; otherwise, how would we know that the Meng family is declining day by day?
She chuckled, then her tone suddenly shifted to surprise and disgust: "Zhixuan, did you poop? Why do you smell so bad?"
After saying that, he covered his nose, turned around and called out, "Little Yue'er, the young master has soiled his pants! Quickly, send someone to clean him up!"
"Ask them how they do their jobs? Are they just sitting around doing nothing all day?"
"This is disgusting!"
Having said that, he left without looking back.
Isn't saving face the most important thing?
Then let's crush your self-esteem first.
After Wei Wei stood in the courtyard admiring the flowers for a while, Madam Meng the Second entered Tingfeng Pavilion with a forced smile.
She looked up at the slightly smug man and asked in confusion, "Second Aunt, why do you have that expression on your face? It looks like you're here to trick me."
Madam Meng was almost sent away by her words! Her face darkened, and she cursed angrily inwardly.
Wei Wei raised one eyebrow, staring at her with a half-smile, without saying a word.
Madam Meng felt unwell all over, but managed a weak smile and asked, "Is your anger from yesterday still not over, niece-in-law?"
"So, does that mean your aunt has to apologize to you before you'll be satisfied?"
Wei Wei raised her eyebrows: "That won't do. If word gets out to others, they'll accuse me of being disrespectful and want me to be struck by lightning."
Her words were barbed, showing no intention of giving her any face.
Madam Meng's face was devoid of any smile. She asked sarcastically, "Is your niece-in-law perhaps upset that your aunt didn't let you come out to greet the guests?"
She sneered, "I'm not as petty as some people."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and placed an invitation in front of Wei Wei: "Miss Jiang is moving into her new home and invites everyone to come and visit."
“This invitation is for all the women of the Meng family. I am currently in charge of the backyard of the mansion, so it is only right that I go to receive the guests.”
Does this mean he's admitting he rushed to greet guests?
Wei Wei didn't even glance at it, her voice cold and hard: "Auntie, please forgive me, you know I'm not feeling well, so I won't spoil the fun."
Madam Meng raised her eyebrows: "We're all neighbors, we'll see each other all the time. Since Miss Jiang personally invited us, how can we not go?"
"Second Aunt, didn't you already come up with excuses for me?"
Wei Wei looked at her and said, word by word, "If there's nothing else, please leave. I still need to take care of Zhixuan."
Seeing that she showed no respect whatsoever, Madam Meng was so angry that her chest heaved: "She really doesn't know what's good for her!"
After saying that, he gave a harsh "humph" and turned to leave.
I thought the matter was settled, but it's clearly not over yet.
Not long after, her maid brought over several very rare items.
"Young Madam, this is something that Miss brought especially for you to play with."
She said she was unfamiliar with the place and really wanted to make friends with you.
"This servant finds her behavior and demeanor to be quite extraordinary. In the future, it will be very beneficial for you to befriend her..."
