She loves this grandson, but the reason lies with her son.
Without Wei Zhi, there would be no Wei Heng as we know him today.
Since Wei Heng returned, she had never heard anything about her son from her grandson. Zhou almost instantly burst into tears...
Her sobs were hoarse and unbearable. Wei Heng glanced at Lu Yun tentatively, and only after receiving a reassuring look from her did she cautiously speak again.
"Grandma, don't be sad. Father said he would take good care of me and Mother. Now that Father is gone, Heng'er will take care of Mother and Grandma from now on!"
He was already quite young, and when he spoke, he enunciated each word clearly and in a childlike voice.
Coupled with her bewildered expression, she was incredibly endearing. Zhou burst into tears and raised her hand to signal Wei Heng to come over.
Wei Heng was confused and took two steps forward, only to be pulled tightly into her arms.
Zhou was already heartbroken, and now she wailed even louder, as if she wanted to release all the pain in her heart...
Granny Wang also wiped away her tears, and the sound of crying echoed in the room.
No one saw that Lu Yun, who was bowing her head and remaining silent, seemingly wiping away tears, had a sly glint in her eyes.
It took Zhou a long, long time to come to her senses.
Wiping away her tears, she looked at Lu Yun with a cold expression, "You are a lowly person, yet you have raised a kind and compassionate son who knows how to think of his mother!"
Lu Yun silently clenched her sleeves, maintaining a respectful attitude.
"If Wei Lang is well, then Heng'er will naturally be well too."
Zhou nodded, clearly satisfied with her answer, her eyes filled with contemplation.
It's good that the power of housekeeping has fallen into her hands.
It's clear that Zhou Shi felt somewhat reluctant to let Lu Yun be, given how much her grandson defended her and even brought up her son.
If the power of housekeeping is forcibly taken over, there is no guarantee that the grandson will not harbor resentment towards him in the future.
Well, Lu Yun was never a capable person; she was weak and rude. Even if she had the power to manage the household, it wouldn't be difficult for her to get money from her or even mobilize the servants in the mansion.
After a few scoldings, she will naturally bow her head and obey!
Thinking of this, Zhou had an idea and looked up at Lu Yun with a cold gaze.
He snorted coldly and said in a low voice, "Alright, since your son has such filial piety, then the power of managing the household will be handed over to you. Just remember what you said."
"If I need money or do anything in the future, you must not refuse. Having received this benefit, you must bear the corresponding responsibility!"
"Yes, please rest assured, Madam. I will always serve you from now on and will never have any other thoughts!"
"It's good that you know it in your heart! Alright, get lost."
Zhou spoke with a fierce tone, and then slowly closed her eyes.
It must be exhausting. If her son were still alive, who in the Wei family would dare to treat her like this?
Lu Yun didn't dare to dawdle, so she immediately picked up Wei Heng and hurriedly left.
Once they returned to their courtyard, after dismissing the servants and closing the door, he sat in a chair with Wei Heng in his arms, laughing nonstop.
It's finally over. Now no one can take the power of housekeeping from her anymore!
"Mother, did Heng'er behave well today?"
Lu Yun kissed him on the cheek and smiled, "Of course it's good. My Heng'er is really amazing. In the future, when you talk to your grandmother, you should mention your father more often, understand?"
“Okay!” Wei Heng nodded, her eyes sparkling.
Lu Yun held him comfortably, her sharp gaze fixed ahead.
What about the Zhou family? Even the toughest bones were eventually gnawed down by her.
However, by simply teaching the child a few words and making a fuss in front of him, he has handed over the power of managing the household.
In the future, who in the Wei family will she be unable to deal with?
But then again, even Wei Zhi and Wei Jing were kept in the dark and completely fooled by her. So what are these women in the mansion anyway?
"Wei Lang, Wei Lang, it's such a pity you died. You can't see how much your family values Heng'er now. If you were still alive, would you also dote on him like this?"
Lu Yun murmured to herself, but couldn't help but smile.
Fortunately, Wei Zhi is dead. Only with his death can the secret about Wei Heng's background be sealed away forever!
"Don't worry, I will definitely manage the Wei family well for you, so that everything belongs only to my daughter and me!"
...
Are you sure these are genuine?
Jiang Mingwei looked at Hua Xing, a second-class maid in her courtyard, with a look of utter curiosity.
She was not very old, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with round cheeks and a plump figure, making her look very endearing and cute.
This is why she is very popular in the mansion, and anyone who wants to inquire about something can find out in great detail through her.
Just now, she explained in detail to Jiang Mingwei the issue of who would be in charge of housekeeping, and now it has officially fallen into Lu Yun's hands.
Hua Xing nodded solemnly and said, "It's absolutely true, Madam. Don't worry, the information I gathered is accurate!"
"Even the old lady has stopped arguing. After she goes to the General's Mansion, it's highly likely that Miss Lu will be in charge of managing the household affairs."
She sighed with some regret when she mentioned this, because everyone in Sufeng Pavilion knew that the steward's key should have originally been in Jiang Mingwei's hands, but Jiang Mingwei gave it up.
Everyone felt that she shouldn't turn down such a great opportunity!
"If only you hadn't refused back then, the key would be yours now, and the entire service would be at your beck and call!"
"Silly girl, you always lose something when you gain something. It was right of me not to accept it. Okay, I understand. You can go ahead and get busy."
After waving Hua Xing away, Jiang Mingwei remained calm and indifferent, not getting angry at Lu Yun for getting the key, but Hua Cui was extremely anxious.
"I never expected that after all this, she would benefit in the end! I think Miss should go and find the Second Young Master and get the key back?"
"She's a concubine who hasn't even been served tea, how could she possibly be in charge of the housekeeping keys? If word got out, people would laugh their heads off and think you, Miss, are extremely neglected. You can't give them to her!"
Jiang Mingwei shook her head and lowered her head to sip the tea in her cup.
"She's quite capable to have managed to take the housekeeper's key from the old lady. Even if I took it, it would only be taken away in the end. Besides, managing such a large mansion is incredibly difficult. Let's see how capable she really is first."
“We have a dowry and no worries about food and drink. For Wei Jing’s sake, she shouldn’t dare to arbitrarily deduct from our monthly allowance. Why make trouble for ourselves?”
Jiang Mingwei spoke in a languid tone, as if she had a clear understanding of everything.
However, Hua Cui did not see the sharp glint that flashed in her eyes.
Jiang Mingwei's act of giving up was merely a pretense.
Since they arrived, Lu Yun has always maintained a gentle and humble demeanor, but Jiang Mingwei always felt that she was not an ordinary village woman.
The more she reveals, the more she exposes herself. Let's see just how far she can go.
These members of the Wei family might actually all have aliases!
