As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's puzzled and confused gazes focused on Jiang Mingwei.
Wang Dajia looked at Jiang Mingwei in even greater shock.
Wait, when did he say he wanted to take Wei Heng as his disciple?
Putting aside the fact that this child is mediocre, he wouldn't accept him just because of Old Madam Wei's arrogant attitude!
Jiang Mingwei just gave him a sly smile and winked, signaling him to calm down.
Zhou looked Jiang Mingwei up and down, then scoffed disdainfully, "You? You can convince him?"
"How will my mother-in-law know if I don't try?"
Having just had a disagreement with Wang Dajia, Zhou Shi found him utterly displeasing. She snorted coldly, averted her gaze, and looked away with disgust.
"Then you'd better keep your word. My grandson is exceptionally intelligent; I don't want someone getting old and blind, mistaking a pearl for a fish eye!"
Wang Dajia's face turned ashen. He was about to step forward to argue when Jiang Mingwei grabbed him, her eyes full of pleading.
It was just like when she was a child and Wang Dajia would beat her with a stick whenever she couldn't finish her schoolwork, and she would look like that with teary eyes.
"Teacher, may I speak to you in private?"
Previously, when teaching at the Prime Minister's residence, Master Wang had shown particular favoritism towards Jiang Mingwei, a female student. Seeing her like this, he could only sigh helplessly and follow her to the side hall.
Seeing the two leave, Lu Yun, holding Wei Heng in her arms, cautiously inquired.
"Madam, do you think Madam will help Heng'er?"
"She dares not help, just try it!" Zhou's eyes flashed with a fierce light. "This is her husband's child. If she dares not help, don't blame me for making her wish she were dead!"
"Mother, have you forgotten your promise to my sister-in-law that we would not interfere with each other from now on? You have now violated the rules. Whether or not my sister-in-law can invite Wang Dajia, you should not lay a hand on her."
"Otherwise, it would be breaking a promise, and you'd be going to the authorities!"
The sudden sound reached her ears, and Zhou looked up to see Wei Jing calmly drinking tea, but his eyes were sharp and piercing.
Suddenly remembering Wang Dajia's flattery and praise, and then thinking of her tragically deceased son, Zhou was filled with uncontrollable rage.
"Shut up, who gave you the right to speak here?"
Wei Jing curled his lips into a cold smile, "Whether I have it or not, Mother knows better than anyone else."
Zhou wanted to continue scolding, but Wang Mama pressed down on her shoulder and secretly shook her head.
The usually arrogant Zhou family member actually stopped at this moment.
He snorted coldly, turned his head away, and ignored Wei Jing.
It wasn't that she didn't want to speak, but Zhou Shi understood the apprehension in Wang Mama's eyes. Now that the Wei family was declining, they relied entirely on Wei Jing's military achievements and the upcoming relocation of the mansion. He was indeed the most influential person in the family.
But she was truly unwilling to accept it!
If only her son were still alive...
In the side hall, Wang Dajia was pulled to sit down by Jiang Mingwei.
"Mingwei, you know perfectly well what kind of talent that child has. Why try to persuade me to take him in?"
He took a sip of tea, but his heart was still heavy with resentment.
If he had known that this old lady was such an unreasonable person, he would never have come today!
"I'm sorry to have upset you, teacher. It was my fault, but I beg you to accept him for now!"
Jiang Mingwei stepped forward, raised her hands above her head, and solemnly bowed to Wang Dajia.
Because the original owner was playful since childhood, she naturally had a thick skin and often joked and quarreled with Wang Dajia. It was rare to see her so serious.
Stroking his beard, he asked in a low voice, "Tell me, why do you insist on my help?"
Jiang Mingwei stood up and whispered something in Wang Dajia's ear. His expression changed from surprise to indignation, and anger surged into his heart.
The usually calm and composed old man slammed his fist on the table in anger, “Outrageous! You are the daughter of the Grand Secretary and the sister of the Minister, yet they dare to treat you like this!”
"If I hadn't been wronged, I would never have troubled you, teacher. Please help me!"
Wang Dajia nodded, filled with righteous indignation: "Don't worry, you are my student, how can you allow them to insult you like this? I'll help you with this."
Jiang Mingwei smiled through her tears, "Thank you, teacher."
In the days since she transmigrated, Jiang Mingwei has tried her best to prevent Wei Heng from being taught a lesson by the teacher. But since she can't avoid it, she might as well let the storm rage on!
Everyone who has been taught by Master Wang knows how strict he is. Wei Heng would never be able to withstand it. If he breaks down from studying, who will he blame?
Jiang Mingwei suddenly felt a strong sense of anticipation, eager to see them fight like dogs...
Before long, she and Wang Dajia returned to the main hall.
"The teacher has agreed to accept Wei Heng as a student, but the teacher is strict. Do your mother-in-law and Miss Lu really think he can handle it?"
She added a reminder that it's not too late to back out now.
However, Zhou and Lu Yun, who had been angry just moments before, seemed to have forgotten that they had cursed anyone. They immediately put on smiling faces and nodded repeatedly.
How strict can it be?
It must be that bitch Jiang Mingwei deliberately talking nonsense to make them back down.
"He can handle it, he can handle it. Master Wang is willing to take him as a student, isn't that a win-win situation?"
Madam Zhou quickly pushed her beloved grandson out, saying, "Come, Heng'er, pay your respects to your teacher."
"Hello, teacher..."
Wei Heng blinked and spoke timidly.
After saying that, she immediately turned around and threw herself into her mother's arms, crying and fussing, "Mommy, I don't want a teacher, I don't want to study..."
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Jiang Mingwei's eyes.
She knew Wei Heng didn't want to learn, but these two insisted on forcing him to. They wouldn't understand the principle that things will turn into their opposites when they reach an extreme.
Lu Yun whispered a few words of comfort, then looked up at Wang Dajia with a fawning expression.
"Please forgive me, Master Wang. This child is too young to distinguish right from wrong. He doesn't know when we should begin the lessons."
“The General’s Mansion is under renovation. We can move there in about a month. How about we start from then?” Wei Jing suddenly asked.
After a moment's thought, Wang Dajia nodded and said, "Alright, I'll get ready too."
That's how the matter was settled.
Jiang Mingwei escorted Wang Dajia to the gate of the mansion. Looking at Jiang Mingwei, whose personality was completely different from that of a child, a hint of regret flashed in Wang Dajia's eyes.
"If your father were still alive, I wonder if he would regret marrying you into such an unreasonable family. He would probably regret it terribly."
Although Jiang Xiang was a treacherous official, he was indeed very talented, and therefore had a good personal relationship with Wang Dajia.
Jiang Mingwei was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "People always misjudge others. I don't blame my father. He probably had his reasons back then. Thank you, teacher, for being willing to lend me a hand."
"No need to thank me. I was just furious. I want to see what kind of person those mediocre students will turn into. I hope they won't regret coercing you and me!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Jiang Mingwei watched his carriage drive away, her expression gloomy as she turned to look at Zhou's courtyard.
If she discovers in the future that her precious grandson hates her, I wonder how this old hag will react.
Jiang Mingwei is really looking forward to it...
