The room was quiet as Lu Yun looked through the list from top to bottom.
But as she looked at it, she suddenly froze, a slight hesitation in her expression.
She looked up and glanced at Shuangji not far away.
Meeting her scrutinizing gaze, Shuangji felt a chill run down her spine.
"Does the young lady have any instructions?"
She took the initiative to ask, and heard Lu Yun cough lightly, look up and look straight ahead. Although her tone was calm, you could tell how embarrassed she was.
"Can you read?"
"Huh?" Shuangji was taken aback, thinking she had misheard.
Lu Yun thought she was mocking her, so she immediately looked up and spoke in a violent voice.
"What do you mean, 'huh'? I'm asking you if you can read! I was born on the frontier, where there is constant war. Do you know how hard it is? It's already difficult for ordinary children to grow up, let alone learn to read and write."
"I can read, but not many characters. Some of the characters here are too complicated for me to recognize. If you can read them, please read them to me. If you can't read, then go find someone who can!"
Lu Yun frowned, feeling extremely displeased.
Since arriving at the Wei family home, her biggest insecurity has been feeling out of place here.
Even though she tried her best to make up for it, she was still an outsider, and learning to read and write was something that could not be accomplished overnight...
The thought that Jiang Mingwei had been well-versed in poetry and literature since childhood and was a student of Master Wang filled her with envy and jealousy!
"This servant has some education; let me read to Miss Lu."
Suppressing his urge to laugh, he never expected that Lu Yun couldn't even read.
Shuangji's mood was no longer as aggrieved and resentful as it had been in the morning. She picked up the booklet and read it to her carefully.
I read it from beginning to end.
Lu Yun only vaguely remembered a few important figures.
Among them were His Highness the Grand Prince of Nanjing, and several princes.
The rest were the court officials, and even Jiang Mingwei's brother, Jiang Mingjin.
However, Lu Yun was not interested in them and looked up at Shuang Ji to ask.
"Do you know which of these guests has the worst temper?"
Upon hearing this, Shuangji couldn't help but tremble, realizing that Lu Yun was up to no good!
She didn't want to answer, but her eyes were driving her crazy.
After hesitating for a while, I finally mustered up the courage to answer.
"This servant...this servant doesn't know much either, after all, they are all high-ranking officials and nobles, but this servant has heard that His Highness the Great has only one daughter. That girl is deaf and mute, and is doted on by His Highness the Princess like a precious jewel. If anyone dares to wrong that little princess, His Highness will never let her off easily."
"The eldest princess is the emperor's own sister, and she has considerable influence in the court, so no one dares to disrespect that young princess."
"I see..."
Lu Yun nodded, a dark glint flashing in her eyes, and the corners of her lips involuntarily curled up.
"Okay, I understand. If there's nothing else, you can leave now!"
Lu Yun waved her hand and threw Shuangji aside after using it.
Shuangji's eyes flashed with displeasure, but in the end she didn't dare to say anything more and could only silently retreat.
But after taking only two steps, Lu Yun suddenly called her back.
When I turned around, I met her warning look.
"Shuangji, now you should know whose side you truly belong to! Since you've come to my courtyard, you should be of one mind with me!"
"If word gets out that I'm not very literate, it will definitely be you who brought it up. Don't blame me for being ruthless then!"
Her smile was smug and arrogant.
"You can disregard me, but you can't disregard Heng'er, right? If something happens to him while he's in your care, guess... what you'll do?"
Shuangji's face was pale, but her legs were trembling. She nodded hurriedly and said yes.
Then, he left in a hurry.
Lu Yun grinned happily and looked at the booklet in his hand again. He had a good memory; although he couldn't remember everything, he could barely remember about 70 or 80 percent of it.
For example, the name written at the very beginning of this booklet is none other than the *** of Nanjing!
"Jiang Mingwei, blame yourself for being willful and arrogant, refusing to respect me, refusing to give up the position of mistress to me and Heng'er, and even being ridiculed by you in every way!"
"If that's the case, then let me see what earth-shattering things you can do when you face the Great ***!"
On the other side, Jiang Mingwei couldn't help but sneeze and immediately looked up and around.
"Who is it? Who is insulting me?!"
Hua Cui brought over a plate of fruit and placed it next to Jiang Mingwei.
Seeing her looking around warily, she pouted and blinked.
"Nobody's watching you, miss. Are you having another nightmare? Wake up, or you'll really become the pig-headed person you were talking about!"
Jiang Mingwei picked up a silver fork, stuck a piece of fruit in it, stuffed it into her mouth, and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'm not planning to sleep. It's just that if someone suddenly sneezes, it means someone is talking badly about me behind my back! I'm wondering, who's so bored as to not enjoy life but instead gossip and spread rumors behind my back?"
Jiang Mingwei was just saying it casually, but Hua Cui was stunned after she finished speaking.
After a while, he finally spoke to Jiang Mingwei.
"It can't be such a coincidence, can it? Miss, I just heard them say that Lu Yun originally didn't plan to renovate or add anything to our courtyard!"
"Later, it was actually the old lady who spoke up, saying that the courtyard had to be kept spotless, and only then did she have to agree. Miss, do you think she might be secretly cursing you behind your back?"
Jiang Mingwei's lips twitched. She never expected that she could pull off such a childish trick!
It seems that the new broom has been about to open up, but the first one failed to ignite in her own hands, which has certainly left her with a lot of resentment!
So much so that they had to ruin the prestige of the General's Mansion?
"I can't be bothered with her, let her do whatever she wants."
Jiang Mingwei closed her eyes and leisurely lay back on the recliner.
However, she could imagine that many high-ranking officials and dignitaries from the capital would attend the housewarming celebration, and she wondered how many familiar faces she would encounter among them.
And Jiang Mingjin, I guess he'll come too?
Or will she choose not to formally marry into his family in order to avoid suspicion from his sister?
Jiang Mingwei sighed.
I need to go to the herbal medicine shop as soon as possible to make the antidote; otherwise, it might be too late if I wait until the appointed time.
Some things require planning ahead...
The housewarming banquet was scheduled for five days later, so there wasn't a single day of peace and quiet during the five days after moving into the general's mansion.
Countless servants emerged from every courtyard and every corner?
Jiang Mingwei even suspected that these servants might have the ability to create clones, otherwise how could there suddenly be so many of them?
Even in her courtyard, there were seven or eight servants who were repairing and tidying up.
Finally, the housewarming party officially began amidst the hustle and bustle—
