Even though the girls were all smiling and beautiful when they came up to him, Wei Jing didn't show the slightest smile on his face from beginning to end.
I simply bowed to them politely as a greeting.
Jiang Mingwei was utterly speechless.
Is this man a blockhead? Can't he see these ladies have their eyes on him? He should hurry up and fight for himself!
She admitted that she liked Wei Jing, but that was just an appreciation for a handsome man. Come on, who wouldn't love a good-natured, handsome, and upright man?
But that doesn't mean she wants to be with Wei Jing!
Jiang Mingwei didn't want to end up like the original owner, killed by him.
If Wei Jing finds a suitable wife, the General's Mansion will have a mistress. As the eldest sister-in-law, she can simply use the excuse of avoiding suspicion to stay in the mansion.
In time, people will surely forget her.
When she asks the Wei family for a divorce agreement again, they should let her leave. If they really don't, Jiang Mingwei can find a way to escape.
As long as she has money, she can buy back her household registration. Anyway, the original owner's father was later found to be a major traitor, and she doesn't want to bear the infamy.
Isn't it good to live a carefree life?
At this moment, the noble ladies who went to chat with Wei Jing each had their own unique charm; some were gentle and elegant, some were noble and dignified, and some were stunningly beautiful, yet he showed no change in emotion whatsoever.
Jiang Mingwei couldn't help but grit her teeth and stomp her foot, "What's wrong with this man? Does he have some kind of weird fetish?"
Thinking back carefully to the memories he received when he first transmigrated, it seems that there was no mention of Wei Jing ever having a woman in his life.
He's indifferent to women, could it really be...?
Jiang Mingwei was quite frightened. Seeing her lost in thought, the Grand Mistress chuckled and asked, "There seems to be a polo match over there. Would you like to come and watch with me?"
Jiang Mingwei snapped out of her daze, glanced in Wei Jing's direction, and decided to put aside her desire to help others once again.
Forget it, if Wei Jing doesn't come to her, she can't really get involved in this matter.
Despite the grand lady's enthusiastic invitation, Jiang Mingwei looked reluctantly at the horses being led onto the horse farm.
Each one had a glossy coat and walked with light steps, clearly indicating that they were extremely docile.
She thought it over and over, but still spoke despite the pressure.
"Your Majesty, I... actually want to ride a horse."
I thought she would be angry, but to my surprise, she burst into laughter.
"I already guessed that you came here today to ride a horse. Wearing a horse-face skirt, what are you going to do if not ride a horse? Could it be that you're dressed to be appropriate for the occasion?"
"I just noticed you were staring over there and wanted to bring you back to your senses. Go quickly, choose a docile horse, and find a stable boy to accompany you, so you don't get hurt."
The older woman gently instructed her, and Jiang Mingwei smiled brightly, nodded repeatedly, lifted her skirt, and stepped into the horse farm with the others.
She stood in front of the horses, carefully selecting them, completely unaware that Da Niang and Zhang Yongzhi had not yet left.
The two stood outside the horse farm, watching her retreating figure.
"Although I know that Your Majesty enjoys socializing, this is the first time I have seen you value a young woman so much. If she were unmarried, I could understand, but Lady Wei has been married before, yet you treat her differently from others."
Zhang Yongzhi spoke with a smile and a touch of emotion.
The big boss chuckled softly, and seeing that Jiang Mingwei had selected a group of honey-brown horses, he walked towards the polo field with Zhang Yongzhi.
"So what if she's been married? Even if she's divorced, there are precedents for remarriage in this dynasty. Why can't she find someone new? But more important than whether she's unmarried or not is who she is. In Jiang Mingwei, I see a reflection of my younger self..."
Zhang Yongzhi lowered her head and pondered for a long time before slowly nodding, seemingly in agreement.
"Yes, after knowing you for so many years, I almost forgot what you looked like back then. We've really gotten old and can't keep up with these young people."
"However, seeing Madam Wei's unconventional nature is a good thing. At least with her around, I can be determined to eliminate dissent, instead of spending every night in tears..."
At this moment, the two noble women, each at the pinnacle of their respective power, exchanged a smile, their eyes filled with determination.
They weathered the highs and lows of their lives and finally reached the peace they had longed for.
The road they walked was not particularly difficult, but it was still full of thorns.
But thankfully, things are slowly getting better...
After choosing a horse, Jiang Mingwei mounted it under the guidance of the stable boy.
But as soon as she grabbed the reins, the docile horse suddenly turned into a devil and dragged her forward!
Jiang Mingwei lost her balance and leaned backward. The stable boy immediately pulled on the reins to stop her.
Fortunately, the horse was indeed docile enough, but Jiang Mingwei really didn't know how to ride a horse, so she almost fell off backwards, and Hua Cui watched in horror.
"Miss, why don't you sit up and try it out? Get down quickly! If you fall, it could really be a disaster."
Jiang Mingwei was still trying her best to maintain her balance, gripping the horse's belly tightly, her calves trembling incessantly.
Wow, the view from horseback is so high!
"Don't worry, Madam. This horse is named Amber. It's one of the most docile horses in the stable and won't hurt you. You can take your time and don't rush," the stable boy explained in a low voice, seeing that Jiang Mingwei was nervous.
Nodding her thanks, Jiang Mingwei began to control the amber.
Whether it was because she lacked talent or the original owner didn't, everyone around her was already riding quite well, while she was still riding crookedly!
Seeing Jiang Mingwei making a fool of herself on horseback, several noble ladies who had previously been at odds with her exchanged glances and slowly rode their horses to her side.
He looked at her with disdain and contempt, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
"Oh, isn't this Miss Jiang? After all these years, I didn't expect you to still be completely clueless about horseback riding! Your uncle is so incredibly brave, didn't he ever teach you?"
"Sister Chen, what are you saying! Miss Jiang is now Madam Wei, and General Wei is just her uncle, not her husband. How can he teach her to ride a horse?"
"Oh dear, I forgot! Lady Wei's husband sacrificed himself for the country; he was a great hero of our Southern Jing Kingdom!"
"Who can disagree? Father devoted himself to the cause of Nanjing, and even her husband died in a foreign land. Madam Wei is truly admirable!"
The group of people spoke in unison, their words filled with contempt and sarcasm.
Jiang Mingwei tried her best to control Amber, and looked up indifferently at the people in front of her, her gaze sweeping over their faces one by one.
Gradually, the original owner's previous impressions came to mind, all of them noble ladies who were at odds with her.
However, apart from Shen Qing, everyone else was opportunistic.
When the original owner of this body was the legitimate daughter of the prime minister, she was arrogant and domineering, and all these people fawned over her. After the prime minister died, and she married someone of low status, these people naturally went to Shen Qing's side.
Jiang Mingwei sneered at the mockery of the crowd.
"Everyone, do you have a crush on me?"
