Jiang Mingwei lowered her eyes, straightened her sleeves, and completely ignored Zhou's furious outburst.
“If Mother wishes to invite him, I can give you Wang Dajia’s address. You can go and try it yourself. Perhaps he will be moved by your wish for your grandson to succeed.”
"But it seems that the path through the Jiang family is blocked!"
Why is it impossible to get through?
Zhou was so angry that she gritted her teeth and pointed at her fiercely, "It must be because you, you slut, didn't put in the effort. If you don't want to, then return the dowry!"
Jiang Mingwei scoffed, "Isn't your mother-in-law confused? This dowry was originally mine, why should I return it? Besides, you've embezzled so much of it."
A calculating glint flashed in Lu Yun's eyes, and she quickly stepped forward to comfort her, saying, "The old lady is, after all, the madam's mother-in-law. These words are too hurtful!"
Both dowry and the Wang family's possessions are rare treasures, and for her son's sake, she had to find a way to fight for them for Zhou Shi.
However, Jiang Mingwei didn't take her seriously at all. She picked up her teacup and simply said, "Where did these flies come from, buzzing around?"
"You!" Zhou was almost fainting with rage, her chest heaving. "You shameless hussy! If I don't treat you well today..."
Snap!
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Mingwei, unable to bear it any longer, threw the teacup hard onto the ground.
With a bang, water splashed everywhere.
Zhou and Lu Yun staggered back from the scalding heat. Jiang Mingwei stared coldly at them and said, "Get out!"
She was already in a bad mood today, and these two people immediately started causing trouble, which really exhausted all her patience. She didn't care about etiquette, hierarchy, or strategic planning at all.
If Jiang Mingwei isn't having an easy time, no one else should either!
Mrs. Zhou was stunned, never expecting her daughter-in-law to be so courageous.
Previously, his resistance against her was merely verbal, used to teach his servants a lesson. This time, however, he dared to directly challenge her.
Once she realized what was happening, she immediately lunged at Jiang Mingwei.
Suddenly, an aged voice entered my ears—
"It's the old lady. It's been a long time. How are you doing, madam?"
Just as Zhou was about to pounce on Jiang Mingwei with her claws outstretched, she heard this and was struck dumb, her body freezing involuntarily.
He slowly turned around and was so frightened that his face turned deathly pale.
"Granny Song, what are you doing here?"
Rong Momo remained calm and composed, bowing respectfully to Zhou Shi. "Shouldn't you be asking this, Madam?"
Zhou's eyes were filled with panic and fear. She glared at Wang Mama beside her, then quickened her pace and fled as if she were running away.
Although Lu Yun was unwilling, she knew that she was alone and no match for Jiang Mingwei. She could only bite her lower lip and quickly follow Zhou Shi's steps, leaving the courtyard.
Soon, the noisy courtyard fell silent.
Jiang Mingwei looked at Song Mama, who was standing outside the courtyard, across the front hall.
Just as she was about to get up, she turned and left, clearly unwilling to say another word to Jiang Mingwei.
Jiang Mingwei slumped into the pear blossom chair, her mind racing with thoughts.
Zhou was used to being domineering and arrogant in the Wei family, and she didn't respect anyone.
Unexpectedly, she would be so wary of an old nanny.
What kind of grudges and entanglements exist between them?
"idiot!"
Just as Lu Yun was about to step into the main hall, she heard Zhou Shi angrily slap Wang Mama.
Granny Wang trembled with fear and knelt down on the ground, pleading, "Please calm down, Madam."
Lu Yun silently withdrew her foot, no longer daring to go in.
Zhou, panting heavily, turned and sat down in the armchair, her chest heaving: "Why was that bitch Song Li in Jiang Mingwei's courtyard?"
“She…she has always been in the manor. I thought you, Madam, knew about this.”
"How would I know?! If I had known, even if I couldn't kill her, I would have driven her far away. Couldn't I have just left her at the manor? Why did she have to keep her here to annoy me!"
Granny Wang trembled almost like a sieve as she answered cautiously.
"Then...then this servant will go and do it right away?"
"What are you going to do?!"
Zhou was so angry she was practically going crazy. She raised her hands and roared, "She's entered Jiang Mingwei's courtyard and is under her protection. She certainly won't leave easily!"
"Well, it was my miscalculation. We can only take it one step at a time. Fortunately, Song Li is not one to talk nonsense. She shouldn't say anything carelessly about the past."
Zhou sighed and raised her hand to her forehead.
At this moment, he had absolutely no desire to cause any trouble for Jiang Mingwei.
Lu Yun only half understood what she heard outside, but she had also seen how nervous the old woman was when Zhou Shi saw it.
They can't even kill him; his identity must be quite extraordinary...
This Wei family mansion is indeed more interesting than she imagined.
That night, the Wei family lived in peace and tranquility.
Jiang Mingwei did not sleep well, tossing and turning in bed.
My mind is filled with a mix of the past and the present.
One moment she's joking around with her friends, the next she's back at the Prime Minister's residence, where Jiang Mingjin points his finger at her and starts cursing.
Before you knew it, it was dawn.
She appeared listless while getting ready, upon hearing a report from a maid outside.
"Madam, would you please go to the front hall?"
Jiang Mingwei frowned in disgust. "Tell my mother-in-law that I am not feeling well today, so I will not be going."
They caused trouble just yesterday, and this Zhou family really doesn't learn their lesson!
Do you have to make her make an even bigger scene before you'll stop?
"No, it wasn't the old lady who invited us; it's guests arriving in the front hall!"
The maid quickly shook her head, her face flushed, and explained, "It's Master Wang who's here, specifically asking to see you, Madam!"
"What?!" Jiang Mingwei exclaimed in disbelief.
After quickly changing into a plain-colored long dress, Jiang Mingwei hurried towards the front hall.
Actually, the original owner had been keeping something from everyone.
Her brother was a man of great talent and a prized student of the Wang family, but in fact, the original owner of this body was also a student of the Wang family.
However, he did not openly follow the path, but secretly gave the original owner a lot of guidance.
Although the original owner was arrogant and later had problems with his behavior, how could someone born of the same parents be mediocre?
She was also extremely intelligent. Even Wang Dajia privately commented that if she were a man, her future achievements might not be lower than her brother's.
Unfortunately, the original owner focused most of his attention on eating, drinking, and having fun, so he only learned a smattering of the skills.
Wang Dajia felt sorry for her but was helpless. He also knew that she was a woman who would get married and have children in the future, so he gradually let her be.
We had such a bad falling out with the Jiang family just yesterday, and I never expected that the Wang family would come to visit us today?
Needless to say, it must have been the Jiang family who did the work.
But she and Jiang Mingjin had almost broken off their relationship, so why would she help her...?
"Sister-in-law."
A deep voice came from beside her, and Jiang Mingwei came back to her senses, looking up to meet Ru Mo's eyes.
She was slightly distracted and whispered, "Second brother, did you also hear that Lady Wang has come to your residence?"
"That's right. I originally planned to go and see how the General's Mansion was being renovated, but it's not too late to go now that I've met with Master Wang."
After all, he was the leading figure in the literary world at the time, and even Wei Jing, a military general, wanted to see the great Confucian scholar in person.
The two walked hurriedly, and when they arrived at the front hall, Wei Heng was already standing in front of Wang Dajia.
Wang Dajia, dressed in a brown brocade robe, with gray hair but full of energy, stroked his long beard and asked in a low voice.
"Little one, what books have you read?"
