Whether it was the new location or the new furniture, Jiang Mingwei couldn't sleep all night, tossing and turning on her new bed.
Even though the new furniture looked like a much higher-end option than the old furniture, she still couldn't fall asleep for a long time...
I really want to get up right now and go find Granny Song to ask her again!
Even if she couldn't get an answer, it would be good to find out some information, but she didn't dare... after all, it was too late.
I finally drifted off to sleep, only to be startled awake by a knock on the door.
Jiang Mingwei regained her senses, her head throbbing with pain. Hua Cui had already gone to open the door.
The moment the door opened, Jiang Mingwei heard sounds from outside.
"Madam is still not awake? My young lady has come to discuss something with you. It's getting late, so please get up and wash up quickly!"
The maid outside spoke loudly, and Jiang Mingwei couldn't help but click her tongue.
Apart from Lu Yun, there was no one else in the mansion who was addressed as "Miss".
Seriously, why are they bothering me at such a young age?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became when she woke up.
Before Hua Cui could respond, Jiang Mingwei roared.
"Since you've come to visit, you should show me respect. What time is it now? Don't think that just because she's taken over the management of the household, she's the master of this General's Mansion! She knows perfectly well how many masters there are in this mansion. She's just temporarily taking over the management position, does she really think she's someone important?"
"Tell your daughter to wait patiently. I'll see her again when I wake up! If she doesn't want to, she can leave early. In any case, I'm not getting up!"
After saying that, Jiang Mingwei pulled the covers over her head, turned over, and tried to fall asleep again.
Hua Cui was also quite angry with Lu Yun's maid, but she was always a bit slow to react, and before she could react, Jiang Mingwei had already given her a good scolding.
Seeing her embarrassed and unhappy expression, Hua Cui snorted.
They were so impolite, actually coming directly to the young lady's bedroom.
Now you're all better off, aren't you? You got yelled at, didn't you? Feeling good now?
"I'm so sorry, my young lady would like to sleep a little longer! Please ask Miss Lu to wait, or perhaps you could leave first."
After saying that, he slammed the door shut.
And they didn't forget to rattle the door latch, just to discourage outsiders from disturbing them before they woke up!
After finishing, Hua Cui turned her head and found that her mistress had actually fallen asleep.
With a helpless sigh, he could only climb back onto his small bed in the outer room.
If the young lady sleeps, then she'll sleep with her!
She had no intention of paying any attention to that wicked woman who only pretended to be weak!
Shuang Ji's face turned ashen; she hadn't expected to be turned away after coming specifically to see Jiang Mingwei.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She snorted and walked into the main hall.
Seeing Lu Yun sitting upright in a chair, waiting for Jiang Mingwei to arrive, her eyes instantly reddened. She walked to her side, leaned down slightly, and whispered in Lu Yun's ear.
She embellished and repeated what Jiang Mingwei had just said to Lu Yun.
Lu Yun was already displeased that Jiang Mingwei hadn't come, and when she heard Shuang Ji say those words, she became even angrier!
She may no longer have a formal title, but she is now the rightful person in charge of the General's Mansion. It's really too much for Jiang Mingwei not to give her even this much face!
“Young lady, you say you have no official status or position, yet you insist on coming to manage the household affairs for the Wei family. It's bad enough that you don't gain any reputation, but instead, they kick you when you're down. Why do you do this to yourself? It's so pitiful…”
As Shuangji spoke, she raised her handkerchief to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
These words made Lu Yun's face turn even paler.
Indeed, she had some personal motives in managing the household, but on the surface, she also had to do a lot for the General's Mansion.
And she knew nothing about it, so she had to learn everything from scratch.
Today, I just wanted to give Jiang Mingwei a warning, to make her realize that she has a place in the General's Mansion and that she should be more polite to her.
And then it was so ruthlessly rejected?!
How could Lu Yun possibly accept this!
"It's alright. Since Madam likes to sleep, let her sleep. I'll wait here and see how long she can sleep."
After saying that, he sat up straight, seemingly intending to wait.
She thought the two were just arguing, but little did she know that Jiang Mingwei was actually asleep and had no idea what Lu Yun had done.
Seeing that she hadn't come, Lu Yun drank one cup of tea after another.
Finally, I could no longer tolerate it.
She broke down in her composure, got up, and left.
Seeing her leave, Shuangji quickly followed...
Hua Xing had been observing the master and servant. Seeing Lu Yun leave in anger, she hurriedly knocked on Jiang Mingwei's door, her face flushed with excitement.
"Madam, Madam, Lu Yun has left in anger! Lu Yun has left in anger!"
By this time, Jiang Mingwei had almost finished sleeping.
Hua Cui opened the door, and she stood behind Hua Cui, looking confused.
Just as Hua Xing was about to knock on the door again, the door opened.
The sight of the two, master and servant, still half-asleep and dressed in their undergarments, startled Hua Xing.
Wait a minute, she thought her young mistress had actually woken up a long time ago, but just wanted to give Lu Yun a hard time, which was why she hadn't met her yet.
Actually...did they really fall asleep?
"Who did you just say left?"
"It was...it was Lu Yun. She sat in the hall, saying she was waiting for Madam to wake up, but Madam didn't come. She waited and waited, drank four or five cups of tea, and finally couldn't wait any longer, so she left."
"Madam, are you really sleeping?"
Hua Xing explained in a low voice, then looked at Jiang Mingwei's attire and couldn't help but ask a question.
"What else?" she yawned.
It's such a waste that I don't have to go to class early in the morning or sleep in!
As for Lu Yun... let her leave in a huff!
When she came to visit so early in the morning, I had no idea what she meant.
He simply wanted to use his power as a steward to give himself a hard time.
Now, instead of showing off her power, she left with a belly full of anger and nowhere to vent it. Lu Yun must be fed up with that!
Jiang Mingwei knew that she was not someone who would give up easily.
If they don't get the respect they deserve today, they'll definitely get it back in another way in the future.
As expected, I shouldn't have come to the General's Mansion; once I did, there was only treachery and intrigue!
But if Lu Yun insists on doing something that drags her into it, Jiang Mingwei will never let it go...
After leaving Wenxingyuan, Lu Yun's face was ashen and her steps were hurried.
The more I thought about being turned away by Jiang Mingwei, the more upset I became!
She had already taken the housekeeper's key when she was still in the Wei family, and everyone in the Wei family treated her with utmost respect.
Even Zhou Shi's gaze towards her no longer held the same disdain as usual.
What right does Jiang Mingwei have?!
Shuangji noticed her displeasure and was also quite annoyed by Jiang Mingwei, so she quickly instigated her.
"Young lady, you've been so devoted to managing the General's Mansion, but they've gone too far! You mustn't let them get away with this!"
Lu Yun glared at her fiercely, "Shut up! Do you need to tell me that?"
