She was startled, and her right eyelid twitched uncontrollably.
Logically speaking, that shouldn't be the case!
Wei Jing, as a general, was brave and skilled in battle and always in good health. How could he suddenly be injured and even on the verge of death?
She has been ill these past few days and has simply stayed indoors, so something must have happened in this mansion.
"Don't panic. Go and find out how Second Master was injured before we make any plans."
"Yes." Hua Cui obeyed, lifted her skirt, and ran out.
Jiang Mingwei was preoccupied with worries. She picked up the medicine bowl beside her and, surprisingly, didn't find it bitter anymore, taking small sips.
Just two days ago, Jiang Mingwei was misunderstood by Wei Jing and was still sulking. Besides, the original owner of this body was later killed by him.
So logically speaking, I shouldn't have gotten involved in his accident.
With Wei Jing around, the Wei family still has a fair person. If something happens to Wei Jing, even if Jiang Mingwei can make a big fuss, as long as she has the title of elder, Zhou Shi will still suppress her completely!
Who knows, in a couple of years, Zhou and Lu Yun might conspire to poison him to death...
Either way, I'm going to die. At that time, won't all my dowry, which is made of real gold and silver, be confiscated by the Wei family?
Jiang Mingwei shivered.
No, no, Wei Jing cannot die before she leaves the Wei family!
Hua Cui was lively and popular in the Wei family, and she quickly found out the news.
He leaned close to Jiang Mingwei's ear and spoke at length, filled with righteous indignation.
Jiang Mingwei sneered and slammed her hand on the table in anger.
"That Lu Yun is a real scoundrel!"
In her memories of the time she transmigrated from, there was no mention of Lu Yun later on, but it's likely that with her son by her side, she wouldn't have a bad life in the Wei family.
But now, she felt threatened because she was blocking her path, so she decided to take a risky approach and try to seduce Wei Jing. However, she never expected that she would end up getting herself into trouble that day.
When their scheme was exposed, they turned around and clung to the old lady's coattails, joining forces with her to frame the benefactor who had brought her and her child to the capital.
What an ungrateful wretch!
The original owner only met Wei Zhi on her wedding day. He was a gentle and refined gentleman. How could she like this kind of green tea bitch?
Or is it that no man can escape this type...?
Wei Jing was really unlucky; he suffered all sorts of grievances and was beaten quite a bit.
But since Zhou and Lu Yun have gone to such extremes, Wei Jing would never side with them. Perhaps it would be a good thing to bring them on as allies in the Wei family.
Jiang Mingwei picked up the medicine bowl again, tilted her head back and gulped it down, then quickly wiped her mouth.
"Let's go see how Second Master is doing!"
Inside the dilapidated Listening to the Rain Pavilion.
Wei Jing was awake and leaning against the bed, while Qingfeng was feeding him medicine.
"Second Master, are you feeling any better now?"
Wei Jing nodded, his handsome face as pale as paper: "Much better, you can go now."
Qingfeng pouted, looking aggrieved: "If Master and the eldest young master were still here, they would never have let the second master suffer such injustice!"
"Back then, Second Master was just a child. Who can choose their own birth? The old lady is truly virtuous..."
"who?!"
Before Qingfeng could finish his rambling, Wei Jing's gaze suddenly sharpened as he shot towards the door.
Qingfeng was startled, and his voice stopped abruptly, only to hear his master's cold voice.
"Whoever's at the door, come out right now, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"It's me," Jiang Mingwei said softly as she walked in.
Seeing the wary expressions on their faces, she awkwardly touched the tip of her nose. Was it something she wanted to hear about?
Why didn't those two close the door when they were telling each other their secrets...?
"Why is my sister-in-law here?"
Upon seeing that it was Jiang Mingwei, and feeling guilty about the misunderstanding from a few days ago, Wei Jing's gaze softened.
Hua Cui placed the lunchbox containing the snacks on the table, while Jiang Mingwei went to the bedside, and Qingfeng brought her a stool.
"Hua Cui said that Qingfeng dragged the doctor away from our hospital entrance, saying that you were injured and vomiting blood, so he came to check on you. Are you alright now?"
Wei Jing glanced at Qingfeng, not expecting him to be so reckless; no wonder he thought the doctor had arrived so quickly.
"Thanks to your concern, sister-in-law, I'm feeling much better. I didn't expect he would bring your doctor over. Your health isn't good to begin with, I'm so sorry to have offended him..."
Qingfeng quickly lowered his hands and apologized to Jiang Mingwei, but he felt so wronged that he wanted to cry.
How come every member of this family can step on their second uncle's head?
"No need to apologize. I heard you were spitting blood at the time. It was an emergency. Even if I hadn't seen a doctor, I should have prioritized the injured. It's good that you're alright now."
Jiang Mingwei waved her hand, her tone magnanimous, showing no concern for gains or losses.
Qingfeng was startled and looked up in surprise. Was this still the same petty and calculating First Madam?
Not only him, but Wei Jing was equally surprised.
Seeing Jiang Mingwei smiling, he felt like he was being schemed against.
"I've heard about why my second brother was beaten. I suppose you know I was framed?"
"I was wrong that day, please forgive me, sister-in-law. I originally wanted to come and apologize, but I didn't expect this to happen today. I will definitely apologize to you another day!"
"There's no need for apologies. Since both my second brother and I are unpopular in the household and are walking on thin ice, a slight misstep could implicate us all. Wouldn't it be better to help each other out in times of trouble than to be hostile and antagonistic towards each other?"
Jiang Mingwei felt there was no need to play mind games with someone as straightforward as Wei Jing.
Playing with it too much might bore him.
As expected, Wei Jing's dark eyes softened upon hearing this.
"If you, sister-in-law, can put aside past grievances and do anything that you need Wei Jing for, please feel free to ask."
Jiang Mingwei almost burst out laughing!
I didn't expect this man to be so savvy; the negotiation went way too smoothly.
"Since my second brother has said so, then I, as the eldest sister-in-law, shall respectfully comply."
"Similarly, if you need anything in the future, my second brother, you can come to me for help. You should rest well now; I'm tired too, so I won't bother you any longer."
A preliminary alliance was reached in just a few words, and Jiang Mingwei was in high spirits, her smile unrestrained.
When I got up, I saw the bowl next to the bed; the dark medicine had already been drunk up.
She paused in her forward steps, turned around and instructed, "Although you have internal injuries, your skin and flesh have also been bruised and congested. Tonight, use hot water to remove the bruises, and apply ointment and massage. This will greatly reduce the pain."
Having said that, he left with Hua Cui.
Qingfeng turned his head blankly, looking at Wei Jing in disbelief.
"Second Master, did I hear that right? The First Madam actually taught you how to treat your bruises? But how come she knows more details than the doctor? Could she be lying to us?"
Wei Jing's dark eyes flickered as he recalled Jiang Mingwei's nonchalant and lazy demeanor, and he felt even more certain that she was determined in her heart.
"It's alright, let's try it as she says."
Was it just his imagination?
He always felt that Jiang Mingwei now was completely different from the woman he met that night when he went to war with his elder brother three years ago!
The person is still the same, but it's like the inside has changed...
Stepping out of Wei Jing's courtyard, Jiang Mingwei strolled forward, filled with curiosity.
"Hua Cui, do we have any older nannies in our courtyard?"
