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

On the way back, Jiang Mingwei couldn't help but look at Hua Cui beside her.

It would have been fine if it was just a glance or two, but she kept looking at her, so Hua Cui had to stop.

She took a step back and hid behind Chun Xing, who was shorter and thinner than her.

He blinked and looked at Jiang Mingwei with fear on his face.

"Miss, can you please stop staring at me like that? I know I went home late today and made you worried, but you staring at me like this always makes me so scared. I wonder if you are going to close the door and beat me after you go back?"

"Yes! Not only will I close the door and beat you, I will also beat your butt until it bleeds!"

Jiang Mingwei snorted coldly and spoke in a bad tone.

She emphasized her tone and really sounded angry!

Little did she know that Hua Cui almost fainted after hearing this.

When did the lady become so scary?

"Miss..." She pouted and spoke pitifully.

Chun Xing couldn't help but become nervous, thinking that Jiang Mingwei was really going to attack her. She quickly reached out to stop Hua Cui behind her and looked at Jiang Mingwei nervously.

"Madam, Sister Hua Cui didn't do it on purpose. She just forgot to inform you. And it's her first time. Madam, you are always the kindest and most tolerant. You will definitely forgive Sister Hua Cui, right? I beg you, please don't punish Sister Hua Cui!"

Seeing the two little girls protecting each other, Jiang Mingwei couldn't help laughing.

She is not a man-eating tigress. Look how scared they are!

"I was just teasing you, but you took it seriously?"

"But aside from that, next time you encounter something like this, you must ask someone to come back and inform me so that I know whether you are safe or not. Do you know how worried I am about you?"

Jiang Mingwei sighed helplessly and looked at Hua Cui solemnly.

Not to mention that Hua Cui and the original owner grew up together.

For her, he was the person she had spent the longest time with since she had traveled here, and he was the one who was unconditionally loyal to her and always put her first.

Therefore, Jiang Mingwei must cherish her more than anyone else and cannot bear to part with her.

Hua Cui pursed her lips and nodded, but then suddenly looked up.

He opened his mouth to say something, but stopped himself, as if he was afraid that the young lady would be angry.

Seeing this, Jiang Mingwei whispered, "Talk as we walk. Just say whatever you want to say. Don't worry."

"Yes."

So the three of them walked towards the general's mansion, and Hua Cui spoke in a low voice.

"Actually... I waited for a long time today, but he still didn't prepare all the spices. I was getting a little anxious. I wanted to go back in the morning, tell the young lady about the situation, and then go back in the afternoon."

"But I didn't expect the shopkeeper to not let me go. He was very enthusiastic and kept telling me that the young lady would never blame me. After thinking about it, I realized that the young lady really wanted spices, and I didn't want to disappoint you, so I waited there. I didn't expect the young lady to come..."

Hua Cui explained the situation to Jiang Mingwei in detail. At the end, as if afraid that Jiang Mingwei would not believe her, she quickly emphasized.

"Miss, everything I said is true. I am not trying to shirk responsibility. If there is even a trace of falsehood in what I said, I will be struck by lightning..."

The oath had just come out of her mouth when Jiang Mingwei raised her hand to stop her, frowning slightly.

"You mean... it's not that you don't want to leave today, but that the spice merchant stopped you and wouldn't let you go?"

"Yes."

Hua Cui nodded seriously, and Jiang Mingwei's eyes showed a cold look and she looked unhappy.

What an ungrateful person!

Her maid wanted to go home, but she was stopped from going back?

He was just a spice seller, and they had met each other twice. How could he dare to stop her like this? Wasn't it a bit too much?

Either this person has ulterior motives towards Hua Cui, or he really has no sense of boundaries.

In short, no matter what the situation was, Jiang Mingwei was very dissatisfied!

"This person is really too much. He actually stopped you from leaving. It's really interesting!"

"Forget it. I will never deal with him again, nor will I buy spices from him again. Spices are sold everywhere, but this is the first time I have seen someone as unreasonable as him!"

After saying that, he continued walking towards the general's mansion with the two little girls.

After the three of them left, Wei Jing and Qingfeng appeared not far away.

"It seems to be a false alarm. Miss Hua Cui followed the eldest lady back. Fortunately, nothing happened. Otherwise, you would be worried."

Qingfeng spoke with a smile on his face.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Jing raised his eyes and looked at him coldly, and Qingfeng was startled.

The cold voice reached his ears, making him shudder.

"When did you realize that I was extremely worried? Don't say anything you shouldn't say!"

Qingfeng immediately stood up straight and pretended to be serious.

"Yes! I dare not say it."

Wei Jing withdrew his gaze slowly, but still couldn't help but look at the backs of Jiang Mingwei and the other two as they left, then turned to look towards Xiangfen Street.

He felt more and more that something was wrong with the shop, but if it was really wrong, he should have been able to find out something, but he still couldn't find any useful evidence.

This really made him feel helpless...

I hope that all his ominous premonitions are just the tension caused by staying on the battlefield for too long, and not that he is really going to encounter any extremely difficult troubles...

After returning home, Jiang Mingwei classified all kinds of perfume and the materials used to make rouge and powder.

I originally wanted to make it immediately, but Li Yihuan’s medicine was more important.

So, you still have to match this first!

First she was worried about Hua Cui, and then she concentrated on preparing the medicine. Jiang Mingwei was really exhausted.

After a busy day, she decided to take a rest.

The candles were extinguished at night and Jiang Mingwei fell asleep quickly.

There was no sound in the house all night until the next morning, when Hua Cui was about to call Jiang Mingwei to get up.

As a result, as soon as he entered, the basin in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

She couldn't help but let out a scream.

"what--"

Chun Xing, who was outside, heard the noise and ran in quickly.

She was about to ask what was wrong, but when she saw the empty bed, she was stunned for a moment.

He looked up at Hua Cui with shock on his face, and even his voice was trembling.

"Sister Hua Cui, where is my husband? Where did my wife go? Shouldn't she be resting in the house? Why did she disappear?!"

Hua Cui was in a state of confusion at the moment. She did not expect Jiang Mingwei to disappear, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.

She hurried to the ear room, praying that the young lady must study spices or those strange medicinal herbs here!

But the house was empty.

No, nothing!

The young lady was not in the ear room either, so where did she go?

Hua Cui’s face turned pale and she suddenly fell to the ground, her face full of panic.

Yesterday, it was the young lady who was worried about her disappearance, but why is it that today... the young lady is missing? !
