Wei Jing was slightly taken aback, and explained, "After confirming the courtyard where we would be staying, I sent someone to tell my sister-in-law. Has she forgotten?"
Jiang Mingwei thought about it carefully. It seemed that a servant had come to the courtyard a couple of days ago and said something to her.
She was lying in the sunlight, half asleep, and didn't hear anything clearly. She just grunted twice to say she understood.
The servant seemed hesitant to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything more and left with a bright smile.
This is something no one else can blame them for.
Feeling guilty, Jiang Mingwei looked up and gave Wei Jing a smile.
Wei Jing could tell that she had completely forgotten, and sighed helplessly, wondering how she could be so carefree.
"Never mind, sister-in-law, come with me."
After saying that, he walked ahead and led the way.
Jiang Mingwei and Hua Cui followed behind him, looking around and observing the construction of the General's Mansion, which was exquisite in every aspect.
Indeed, the emperor's favorite minister is different; even his residence is more outstanding than that of ordinary people!
"We've arrived, this is the place."
Wei Jing stopped in front of a courtyard. Jiang Mingwei glanced inside and saw that the courtyard was even larger than the two she used to live in!
It is square and clearly the main courtyard, named Wenxing Garden.
“Sister-in-law’s courtyard is the main courtyard, and it’s the same size as Mother’s. It’s more spacious here, and you’ll be more comfortable. It’s getting late, so you should rest early. If there’s anything you need, you can send someone to tell Miss Lu tomorrow. She’s currently in charge of the General’s Mansion’s treasury keys, and she’s in charge of everything.”
It was getting late, and Wei Jing was worried that if he stayed any longer, it would damage Jiang Mingwei's reputation, so he was in a hurry to leave.
But after taking only two steps, he remembered something and turned back to remind Jiang Mingwei.
“If you have any difficulties, please tell me. I will take care of it for you. You don’t need to worry about it.”
"Thank you very much, Second Brother. You've gone to a lot of trouble."
At this moment, a magnificent sunset appeared on the horizon, and Jiang Mingwei smiled brightly.
The golden afterglow shone on the two of them. Looking at that beautiful face that made him blush, Wei Jing's breath caught in his throat, and he quickly turned his head away.
"Then I'll be going now, goodbye."
After saying that, he quickened his pace and left almost as if fleeing in panic, not daring to stop for a moment.
"That's wonderful! I never expected that after all your planning, Second Master would actually bring your luggage over. Now we can live in a bigger courtyard!"
Hua Cui was all smiles behind her, extremely excited, her little mouth grinning happily.
Jiang Mingwei sighed helplessly, turned around and pinched the silly girl's cheek.
Do you really think this mansion is a place to stay?
"Let me ask you, if you were given the chance, would you like to leave the Wei family mansion completely with your young lady and never have any further entanglements with them again, or would you like to live in this mansion?"
Lifting her skirt, Jiang Mingwei stepped over the threshold and asked Hua Cui as she walked inside.
Hua Cui didn't think much of it and quickly gave an answer, which was exactly what Jiang Mingwei expected.
“Except for the Second Master, everyone in the Wei family bullies you, Miss! Of course, I hope to leave with you, Miss, and preferably get away from here completely. Why do you ask such a question, Miss?”
"Because that's what I was thinking all along! We'll secretly stay at the Wei residence for now, wait until they forget about us, then take the opportunity to escape and never come back to this wretched place again."
"But now that everything has been moved here, we're stuck here and have to wait for another chance to leave..."
Originally, Jiang Mingwei hadn't planned to tell Hua Cui about these things, but now that the plan had fallen through, it didn't matter if she told her.
As expected, Hua Cui was stunned when she heard this.
No wonder the young lady refused to come over; so that's what she was planning!
Looking at the grand mansion before her, she suddenly didn't find it so fragrant anymore...
After all, even if they moved to a bigger house, it would only put them in a more luxurious cage. How could that compare to being free and happy?
"Why didn't you tell me sooner, Miss? Maybe I could have helped you!"
"Alright, silly girl, I'll be thanking my lucky stars if you don't accidentally sell your young lady off."
"It's too late to say anything now. Since we're here, let's make the best of it and find another chance to escape! Don't worry, as long as your young lady is here, I will never give up easily."
Jiang Mingwei patted Hua Cui on the shoulder and spoke with righteous indignation.
Soon after entering the courtyard, the maids and servants gathered together.
Since the courtyard is now larger, there are naturally more maids and servants than before.
Some of them were originally from the Mianfeng Pavilion, while others were purchased only by the general.
At first glance, Jiang Mingwei didn't find anything wrong with them, but since they weren't her confidants, she would have to be more careful if she wanted to use them in the future.
Jiang Mingwei reminded them that in her courtyard, they only needed to do their assigned tasks, and it didn't matter if they were a little idle.
But she will never let anyone get away with scheming, slacking off, or cheating!
Everyone agreed, and Jiang Mingwei nodded and told them to disperse. Then she called Hua Xing over.
"Where's Granny Song? Has she come too?"
"They're here! Granny Song came with us, and not long after she arrived, the Second Master also came."
"The Second Master personally helped Granny Song choose the room! It's in the backyard, a spacious and bright room, just like the one you chose for Granny Song before, Madam."
"Did the Second Young Master personally help her choose it?"
Jiang Mingwei was somewhat surprised, "Is the Second Young Master and Granny Song on good terms?"
"Doesn't Madam know?"
Hua Xing blinked, her face full of surprise: "Although I was bought into the Wei family later, I have heard that Granny Su took care of the Second Master since childhood, so she has a deep affection for him."
"But later, when the Second Master went to the battlefield, Granny Song stopped raising him. However, she still held a certain position in the mansion, and few people dared to go against her."
"When you went out today, Madam, the Second Master stayed with Granny Song the whole time, and they seemed very affectionate."
Jiang Mingwei became more and more confused as she listened, her mind a complete mess.
She really didn't know that Wei Jing and Granny Song were so close!
She had never seen the two of them together; Wei Jing had never told her, nor had Granny Song ever told her.
However, upon closer reflection, it's not impossible for Jiang Mingwei to come up with a solution.
After all, when she was being harassed by Zhou Shi, it was Song Mama who called Wei Jing over. If she didn't trust Song Mama so much, Wei Jing probably wouldn't have gone so quickly.
I recalled what Granny Song had said to me when I asked her about Wei Jing's background last time...
Jiang Mingwei's face suddenly flushed red.
Granny Song did tell her that it was true, but she only gave a vague explanation and didn't even explicitly mention the close relationship between the two of them.
Jiang Mingwei suddenly wanted to ask Granny Song, "How much do I look like a clown?"
