Transmigrated into a short-lived widow? Cold-faced uncle fights for my life

I can’t drink the tea in my hand anymore!

Jiang Mingwei placed the teacup heavily on the table. Chun Xing, who was standing beside her, was startled and quickly turned to look at her wife.

Seeing her gloomy expression and stormy eyes, it seemed like a storm was about to come...

"No, Hua Cui would never have not returned for such a long time. She must have encountered something. I have to leave the house immediately!"

Jiang Mingwei murmured, stood up and was about to go find Hua Cui, Chun Xing hurriedly followed her.

"Miss, wait for me. I will go with you!"

It's always good to have someone following you, and Jiang Mingwei did not refuse. She didn't even have time to dress up and left the general's mansion wearing simple casual clothes.

Fortunately, she can leave the house at will now, and Zhou no longer asks about it. Otherwise, if she was not allowed to leave today, Jiang Mingwei would definitely be furious!

When she thought that Hua Cui might have encountered unexpected trouble, she felt extremely anxious.

Unlike others, Hua Cui was the kindest person to her since she came here, and she absolutely did not want to lose her!

The two of them walked very fast and didn't even notice Wei Jing passing by them across the street.

Looking at her hurriedly leaving figure, Wei Jing stopped and looked gloomy.

"Strange, where is the eldest lady going in such a hurry? Why is it that the girl with her today is not Hua Cui but Chun Xing?"

Qingfeng murmured to himself, but when he turned around he caught a glimpse of his master's deep eyes.

"Maybe something happened to Hua Cui, so sister-in-law is so anxious?" Wei Jing asked in a low voice.

Qingfeng thought about it and shook his head. "That shouldn't be the case, right? Miss Hua Cui is inseparable from the Madam all day long, what could possibly happen to her? Maybe the Madam has something for her to do?"

Wei Jing frowned, thought for a long time, turned around, and followed in the direction Jiang Mingwei left...

Jiang Mingwei walked very quickly, holding up her skirt. She knew that her appearance at the moment must be impolite. Maybe she had been recognized by the noble lady who was out for a trip and was secretly laughing at her.

But Jiang Mingwei didn't care.

She was worried about whether Hua Cui was in trouble.

I can't believe this will actually happen...

Chun Xing was young and short, so in order to keep up with Jiang Mingwei, she had to jog all the way.

I caught a glimpse of her gloomy profile and saw that her usually smiling face was cold as frost. I couldn't help but shudder and spoke carefully to comfort her.

"Ma'am, don't worry. Sister Hua Cui will be fine! She must have been delayed by something!"

Jiang Mingwei pursed her lips and remained silent.

Has he been delayed, and is he safe?

No one’s words matter now. Only when she sees with her own eyes that Hua Cui is safe and sound can she let go of her worries and fears.

She rushed all the way to the Powder Street, but didn't see any spice vendors soliciting customers at the door, so Jiang Mingwei turned in and shouted loudly.

"Boss, where is my maid? She came to help me get spices this morning, and she hasn't gone back yet. Where did you take her?"

Jiang Mingwei was very angry, and she didn't want to show any weakness and let the spice dealer think that she was easy to bully, so her voice was cold.

She is indeed just a woman in the inner house now, and has no means.

But if this spice dealer dared to harm Hua Cui, even if she risked being killed to beg Wei Jing, or humiliated herself by asking Jiang Mingjin for help, she would never let go of anyone who hurt Hua Cui!

As soon as Jiang Mingwei finished speaking, she turned into the house and suddenly froze.

Hua Cui was standing at the counter with bags of spices beside her. Behind the counter was the spice dealer, who seemed to be settling the bill with Hua Cui.

Everyone looked at each other, Jiang Mingwei was shocked and unbelievable.

Wait, why is Hua Cui still here?

Could something have happened to her?

"Miss, Chun Xing, why are you here?"

Hua Cui blinked, with a puzzled look on her face. She didn't expect her young lady to appear here at this moment. She quickly put down the spices in her hand and walked towards the two of them.

Jiang Mingwei came to her senses, grabbed Hua Cui's arm, and looked her up and down.

After making sure that she was safe, my heart finally settled down.

Seeing that Hua Cui was fine, the anger in her heart began to rise!

"What's wrong with you, girl? You left this morning, and now it's already this late, and you haven't returned home yet. I thought you were in some trouble, so I came here to seek justice for you. I didn't expect to see you here!"

There was a hint of rebuke in Jiang Mingwei's words, but if you listened carefully, you could easily hear more of her worry and fear for Hua Cui.

She was really afraid that something terrible would happen to this little girl.

Hua Cui was stunned for a long time before realizing that Jiang Mingwei was worried about her.

She squinted her eyes and showed a sweet smile.

"No wonder Miss came here suddenly, it turns out you were worried about me! Miss, don't worry, Hua Cui is fine, she is doing very well! The shopkeeper is also very enthusiastic and even let me have a meal here this morning."

"It's not that I don't want to go back, but the spices have not been fully prepared. In order to prepare them, I waited a little longer. Isn't it because I don't want to disappoint you when I go back? Now the spices are almost ready."

She pointed to a large package on the counter.

Jiang Mingwei looked at her, then looked at the spice seller suspiciously.

He seemed to be feeling very guilty, and quickly walked out from behind the counter with a smile, nodding and explaining to Jiang Mingwei.

"Madam, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect you to come so early, so in order to prepare the spices, I kept this girl waiting here for a long time, which caused Madam to misunderstand."

"Don't worry, we are doing legitimate business here, a small business, and we earn our money through hard work. How dare we do anything sneaky? We have all the spices, except for one that we don't have in stock. Madam, please take a look..."

After all the fuss, Jiang Mingwei really didn't expect that this was actually a misunderstanding.

But no matter what, as long as Hua Cui is okay, she will be relieved. It is much better than being anxious if something really happens.

In comparison, what is the absence of one spice?

"If there really isn't any, then forget it. I'll come back to get it later. But what kind of spice is it?"

"It's the smell that was stained on Madam's jade pendant yesterday."

Jiang Mingwei nodded in understanding. For some reason, she vaguely felt that it was that kind of spice.

Although it smells really strange, it makes people inexplicably unable to stop.

That's why she wanted to buy it back and study it, maybe she could make a very good product.

But since she doesn't have it now, she won't force it, but she feels a little disappointed.

After paying a little difference, she quickly returned with Hua Cui and Chun Xing.

The spice dealer, as always, respectfully escorted them to the gate, but stared at Jiang Mingwei's departing figure with a wicked smile on his face...
