Transmigrated into a short-lived widow? Cold-faced uncle fights for my life
Chapter 18 Refusal to admit credit
Jiang Mingwei rolled her eyes fiercely.
If Lu Yun didn't say anything, she would almost forget about the existence of this green tea!
"Miss Lu is no longer a concubine, so she is not a member of the Wei family. Since you are an outsider, you should not make irresponsible comments on the affairs of the mansion. What is your intention in being so eager to show off?"
Her question made Lu Yun's face turn pale, his lips trembled, and he couldn't say anything for a long time.
Zhou's chest was heaving with anger. She stared at Jiang Mingwei coldly, not understanding how she could become so sharp-tongued overnight and increasingly out of control!
"Bitch, are you going to kneel today or not?"
"You can ask me to kneel, but please go to the government office with me first, mother. We have a lot to discuss first!"
When mentioning the government office, Zhou's face calmed down a bit, "What do you mean?"
"It's not enough that you made a scene in front of the government gate today, you are actually going to make a scene in the government office? I want to ask you, have you asked Mr. Wang to agree to be Heng'er's first teacher?"
Jiang Mingwei just smiled without saying anything, and walked towards Lu Yun with a dim gaze.
She smiled cunningly, and Lu Yun's heart trembled. In order to maintain her image, she pretended to be weak and vulnerable.
Jiang Mingwei pretended not to see it and snatched the jade bracelet from her hand.
"Bring it to you!"
Lu Yun's eyes widened and he reached out to grab it, but he was afraid of losing face, so he could only hold on to the armrest of the chair anxiously.
Such a good bracelet, worth a thousand taels, could it have been taken away by Jiang Mingwei?
"Bitch, that's my reward to Miss Lu, what are you doing!"
Zhou was so angry that her face turned blue. She raised her cane and was about to hit someone, but Jiang Mingwei grabbed it and ignored Zhou's struggle, slowly observing the jade bracelet.
"Mother, this jade looks so familiar. How come it looks like the jade produced in my jade shop?"
There was a flash of panic in Zhou's eyes.
"This... there is not much difference between jades in the world, so don't slander me!"
"But there is a shop seal inside, called... Rongjin Jade Shop. It is indeed my daughter-in-law's jade shop, but now... it should be said to be my mother's family, right?"
Zhou's heart suddenly tightened, he clenched his cane, and his pupils contracted.
He squinted his eyes and looked at Jiang Mingwei for a long while, murderous intent flashed in his eyes and he no longer concealed it.
"Well, you bitch, you actually went to check the shop? How dare you lie to your mother-in-law? Come on, arrest her and give her fifty lashes!"
Nowadays, if a servant or maid made a mistake, they would only be beaten with thirty or forty sticks if they were to be beaten to death.
Fifty strokes of the cane?
Zhou had no intention of letting her live!
"Let me see who dares?"
Jiang Mingwei pulled out the account book from her bosom, on which was clearly written Rongjin Jade Shop.
"Mother has done such a heinous thing. Now that it has been exposed, you want to kill people to silence them. Isn't it too hasty? If I have something to do today, I guarantee that the news of mother's substitution will spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital!"
"By then, everyone will know how many dirty things the mother did to take away her daughter-in-law's dowry!"
"Now that the account book is in your hands, who else will know as long as you, a bitch, are not allowed to leave the yard? Stop her now!"
There was murderous intent in Zhou's eyes, and he could no longer tolerate it.
In fact, she had already expected that Jiang Mingwei had gone out to investigate the shop, but she didn't expect that she would investigate it so thoroughly!
I had been planning to eat up her dowry and then find a way to kill her, but now that I've been discovered and she's becoming more and more undisciplined, I might as well let her die early to avoid all the trouble!
Upon receiving the order, the guards immediately moved closer to Jiang Mingwei.
Zhou Yun felt so uneasy that he wanted to escape underground.
She never dreamed that a peaceful meeting would suddenly end in fighting and killing, and she didn't understand what the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking about.
When I was panicking, a cold male voice sounded from outside the house.
"Mother, please don't go too far. Who dares to touch my sister-in-law today?"
Wei Jing was furious and walked into the room with his robe lifted.
The solemn and murderous aura on his face makes people shudder.
One trouble hasn't been dealt with yet, and now another one has come. Zhou was so angry that her heart ached and she stomped her feet.
"Get lost, you have nothing to do here!"
"Is mother getting senile and confused? Now that I am the head of the family, I naturally have the right to speak! What mother did is very embarrassing. Her behavior is tantamount to theft and she will be sentenced."
"If you kill someone again, it will be an even greater crime!"
"you!"
Zhou raised her finger and pointed at the two of them. She opened her mouth for a long time but could not utter a word of rebuttal.
How could she not know this? That's why she was in a hurry to get rid of Jiang Mingwei!
As long as Jiang Mingwei died and she took the account book, naturally no one would know what she had done. Then even if she shamelessly left Jiang Mingwei's dowry in the Wei Mansion and did not return it to the Jiang family, no one would be able to do anything to her.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin showed up halfway!
Jiang Mingwei looked at Wei Jing who was standing in front of her in surprise and shock.
It seems that the plot is indeed being rewritten. Wei Jing doesn't want to kill her, but comes to help her instead?
Wei Jing has made great military achievements and has now been promoted to a second-class general. His new mansion is being renovated and he will move in soon.
Even though Zhou hated him, now that her eldest son was dead, she had to give him some face for the sake of her grandson's future career, otherwise the Wei family would surely decline.
With him protecting her, Zhou naturally didn't dare to touch Jiang Mingwei again.
She simply snorted coldly, raised her chin and said, "I beat her because she committed insubordination and deserved to be beaten! Besides, I am an upright lady with a clear conscience! Since the dowry has been returned to you, why do you care about the previous expenses?"
"It's all to keep the mansion running smoothly. It's not like you're not eating or drinking!"
Jiang Mingwei snorted disdainfully, what a good compliment to herself.
This old witch is really shameless.
"According to what mother said, should I be grateful to you?"
Zhou remained silent, but her eyes were full of resentment. Suddenly, she pointed at the account book in Jiang Mingwei's hand.
"Give me the account book and promise not to bother about the dowry in the future, and I will forgive you for your impoliteness today. Otherwise, this matter will not end!"
Lu Yun curled up in a seat beside her, trying her best to reduce her presence, wishing there was a crack in the ground so she could jump in and hide.
What these people said...is she capable of listening to?
Jiang Mingwei has seen people with thick skin, but she has never seen someone so shameless!
"You are committing a crime of insubordination? My mother-in-law stole my property by stealing it like a robber, and I can't question her? Even if this matter is brought to the attention of the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, my daughter-in-law is still right!"
"Asshole! Are you going to give it to me today or not?"
There was no way Zhou would bow her head. No matter how panicked she was, she would slam the table hard.
Jiang Mingwei narrowed her eyes cunningly: "It's not impossible, but mother either allows me to divorce, or we can go our separate ways in the future and no longer interfere with each other!"
"I can forget about my mother taking my property away, and my mother can no longer restrict me, otherwise we will meet in court."
Zhou's eyes were filled with emotion. At least the most urgent thing now was to get the account book first. It would not be too late to settle the score with Jiang Mingwei later.
He simply nodded and agreed, "Okay, bring me the account book."
Jiang Mingwei stepped forward and handed it to her, but smiled at Wei Jing.
"Now my second brother is also a witness, so please look carefully. I have handed the account book to mother."
Wei Jing nodded.
Zhou couldn't wait to open it, but after taking a look, he slammed it on the table.
"Jiang Mingwei, are you kidding me?!"
