Her voice was soft, yet Wei Jing inside the room could still hear it clearly.
With a slight frown, he looked at Qingfeng and asked, "Is the person outside Lu Yun?"
"It sounds like her voice." Qingfeng curled his lip, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
"That Lu family is truly shameless. They harmed you so badly, Second Master. If it weren't for the fact that you happened to run into the doctor who was leaving at the First Madam's place, who knows how much trouble it would have caused if you had been any later!"
"She did that kind of thing, she should know to walk behind our backs, but I didn't expect her to dare to come here today? That's really interesting."
Remembering how Lu Yun had feigned pitifulness to gain sympathy, which had caused Wei Jing to be beaten by Zhou Shi, Qingfeng felt indignant.
He had always thought that one day he would avenge Wei Jing!
Seeing no movement from inside the house, a hint of doubt flashed in Lu Yun's eyes, but she was unwilling to give up and called out softly again.
"I wonder if the Second Young Master is here?"
Qingfeng snorted coldly. Although he didn't know what Lu Yun had come for, he was sure it wasn't anything good.
"Second Master, you don't need to get involved. I'll go out and chase her away."
After saying that, he put down the inkstone and strode out.
Wei Jing stared at his retreating figure, her expression wistful.
As the door opened and someone came out of the room, Lu Yun was overjoyed and a smile appeared on her lips.
But before she could be happy for long, she saw Qingfeng approach her with a cold face, standing about ten steps away from her.
Even though it was late, it couldn't hide the chilling aura on his face. When he looked at Lu Yun, his expression was indifferent, clearly showing that he didn't want to pay any attention to her.
Lu Yun saw it all, but still smiled broadly.
"So it's Brother Qingfeng. May I ask if the Second Young Master is in his room? I really have something important to discuss with him."
"What could Miss Lu possibly have to discuss with Second Master? He's busy right now, Miss Lu should go back first!"
There were no flattery or flattery, no beating around the bush. Qingfeng's tone was extremely harsh, clearly telling Lu Yun that she was not welcome here and should get out of there as soon as possible!
But who is Lu Yun?
She remains nameless and without status, yet she is still willing to continue living in the Wei residence, determined not to give up until she achieves her goal; she will never leave easily.
She could see Qingfeng's displeasure and indifference towards her, but she pretended not to notice, smiled gently, and walked into the courtyard unhurriedly, turning around to sit on the stone chair in the courtyard.
Qingfeng was taken aback, not expecting this woman to be so shameless!
After being told that the Second Master wouldn't see her, she actually just sat there and wouldn't move?
What exactly is she trying to do?!
"No rush. Since the Second Young Master has something to attend to, I will wait for him in the courtyard. It's not too late to see me when he comes out after he has finished his business. Please inform him, Brother Qingfeng."
Qingfeng almost laughed out of anger at her.
Since Lu Yun was so ungrateful, he didn't need to save face for her. His eyes were filled with disdain, and his voice was gloomy.
"Miss Lu, what exactly is the matter? You know about your relationship with the eldest young master. He sacrificed himself on the battlefield, but you were still husband and wife and had a child with him. It's really inappropriate for you to wait for the second master in the courtyard now, isn't it?"
"Please leave as soon as possible, Miss Lu, to avoid gossip and ruining your reputation!"
Qingfeng felt he had made himself perfectly clear, and Lu Yun would definitely understand.
But she looked at him with a blank expression and an innocent face.
The words he uttered almost made Qingfeng vomit blood—
"Hmm... But I was just sitting in the courtyard waiting for the Second Young Master. Our relationship is completely innocent, so why can't I come to visit him?"
"Brother Qingfeng, you don't need to worry about me being talked about. I appreciate your kindness, but I have my own plans."
"you……"
Having fought countless battles on the battlefield, and seen countless swords, spears, and axes, this was the first time Qingfeng had ever encountered such a blunt knife cutting through his flesh, leaving him utterly powerless to retaliate!
His face turned ashen, and he didn't know what to say when the door nearby opened.
Wei Jing stood coldly at the door, his gaze dark as he looked at the two of them.
Seeing him come out, Lu Yun quickly stood up from the stone bench, her face beaming with a smile, looking extremely expectant.
"Miss Lu, what brings you here? Please speak plainly."
Too lazy to argue with her, Wei Jing walked over to her and got straight to the point.
Helpless, Qingfeng could only return to Wei Jing's side, looking at Lu Yun with a resentful gaze.
I wonder who can handle such a shameless woman!
Suddenly, a person flashed through Qingfeng's mind.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that she is probably the only one... but is she willing to help Second Master?
"Knowing that the Second Young Master is very busy, I should not have come to visit, but I have no choice but to do so now. Please forgive me!"
"I heard that the Second Young Master wanted to hand over the power of managing the household to the First Madam, but the First Madam refused, is that right?"
Lu Yun blinked, her back slightly arched, and her face showed a peaceful and calm expression.
Its respectful demeanor resembled that of a dodder vine, gentle and harmless.
Wei Jing's eyes flashed sharply. He knew the news would spread, but he didn't expect it to spread so quickly!
Since Lu Yun brought this up herself, it's no surprise that she's here for the power to manage the household.
"That is indeed true."
Lu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes burning with desire.
Upon hearing this news, she immediately rushed to find Wei Jing, hoping to seize control of the household affairs as soon as possible and not hand it over to Zhou Shi.
Logically speaking, as an outsider, she is indeed not suitable to manage the household affairs, but what can she do now that she has a son?
As long as Wei Heng is in her hands, she has the right to a share of everything in the Wei family!
Although Zhou Shi held the power of managing the household, thanks to Wei Heng, she would never lack food or clothing.
But when you reach out to someone else for money with your palm facing up, it's never as comfortable as managing your own money.
Jiang Mingwei is a fool; she doesn't want such a good job. She can't just hand it over to someone else for nothing!
Lu Yun stepped forward, bent her knees slightly, and bowed solemnly to Wei Jing.
When she looked up again, her charming face held a hint of ingratiation as she slowly spoke.
“In that case, I humbly request that the Second Young Master entrust me with the management of the household. I know that I have not yet married Wei Lang, but he promised me that he would only recognize me as his wife for the rest of his life. Moreover, we have his only child.”
"I do not wish to compete with the First Madam for position, but we, the orphans and widows, must consider our situation. Why don't you entrust this task to me, Second Young Master? I will certainly give you a satisfactory answer. What do you think?"
She looked up and smiled gently.
Her captivating beauty was enough to make any man's heart flutter, but unfortunately... she met Wei Jing.
Although he disliked her obsequious and ingratiating manner, Wei Jing kept Lu Yun's words in mind.
Even if you don't consider her, you should at least consider Wei Heng...
After all, he was his elder brother's only bloodline, and he really couldn't treat him poorly.
Can……
Lu Yun is not yet considered a member of the Wei family, so entrusting her with this task is somewhat inappropriate.
After much deliberation, Wei Jing said in a low voice, "This matter needs further discussion; I need to consider it further."
Lu Yun was not surprised. She smiled gently and charmingly and nodded repeatedly.
"Of course this is a major matter and should be carefully considered. But Second Young Master, will you take my opinion into account?"
