Wei Jing said nothing, but just looked Jiang Mingwei up and down.

Jiang Mingwei's heart was beating fast. Although she had performed the whole play perfectly, she couldn't see through Wei Jing's thoughts.

"Madam Wei, Wei Lang's body is still warm and you haven't left the Wei family yet. How could you do such a thing with a man during Wei Lang's mourning period? I saw Madam Wei and a man being very affectionate before." Lu Yun looked at Jiang Mingwei in condemnation, as if she couldn't accept it, and her eyes soon turned red.

"So you are here to catch someone cheating?" Jiang Mingwei looked at Wei Jing, her eyes quickly reddened, and she stepped aside, revealing Zhao Xuan who was tied up. In order to make it look more realistic, she used the mourning cloth tied on his forehead to tie him up.

She pointed at Zhao Xuan lying on the ground, her voice tearful, "This thief followed me here and wanted to do something bad to me. If I hadn't been alert and tied him up, I'm afraid... Second brother didn't stand up for me, but actually believed what Miss Lu said and suspected me?"

Jiang Mingwei hardened her heart, wiped the tears from her face, and looked straight into Wei Jing's eyes with red eyes.

She was gambling, gambling that Wei Jing would believe her.

Wei Jing's gaze slowly swept across her face and turned to Lu Yun, as if asking her: What's going on?

Lu Yun was stunned for a moment, and stuttered for a long time before he found the loophole, "Madam Wei said that she tied the man up? I see that Madam Wei is thin and petite, how could she have the strength to deal with a big man?"

"Miss Lu, do you mean that it is normal for me to be bullied by him? Or am I colluding with him to deceive you all?"

Jiang Mingwei sneered, "How important is a woman's reputation? Besides, my Jiang family has strict family education, and we can't raise a daughter who has no shame and has an affair without a matchmaker!"

Her words clearly had a hidden meaning. Lu Yun blushed and was unable to utter a word.

Wei Jing's eyes were filled with anger as he looked at Zhao Xuan and asked in a restrained manner, "Is it really as my sister-in-law said? Did you intend to do something bad to her?"

Zhao Xuan was very angry, helpless and annoyed, and struggled and whimpered twice.

It was obvious that Jiang Mingwei couldn't stand the loneliness and flirted with him on purpose before, but today she suddenly turned against him!

And tied him up!

He was the second son of the Yongning Marquis's mansion. When had he ever been so embarrassed? He was so angry that he whimpered again.

"Tear it off."

Hearing Wei Jing's voice, Jiang Mingwei choked and squatted down, but used her body shape to stab the embroidery needle towards Zhao Xuan's neck, with murderous intent in her eyes.

Zhao Xuan was about to howl to attract all the guests, but when he looked up, he saw Wei Jing's expressionless face, and his heart sank again.

He was uneducated and got into trouble all the time. He didn't have any of the courage and integrity of a young man from an aristocratic family. When facing Wei Jing, a blood-drinking general who had fought on the battlefield, he was almost trembling all over.

He knew that Wei Jing respected his brother Wei Zhi very much. If Wei Jing knew that he had an affair with Jiang Mingwei, Wei Jing would definitely not let him off easily.

You know, there was once a man who was caught by Wei Jing chewing Wei Zhi's tongue behind his back. Wei Jing cut off that man's tongue on the spot!

Zhao Xuan was extremely frightened and stuttered, repeating Jiang Mingwei's words: "...Yes, it was me, I drank some wine in the restaurant today, I, I...I was tempted by her beauty, and I was reckless...and I bumped into Madam Wei..."

After saying that, he leaned forward and kowtowed.

"I am sorry for offending Madam Wei. Please forgive me, Madam! Please forgive me, General Wei!"

"Please spare my life, General Wei..."

Before he could finish his words, Wei Jing kicked him.

Although he didn't like Jiang Mingwei, she was his eldest brother's widow after all. Bullying her was bullying his eldest brother. How could Wei Jing accept that? He punched her one after another, hitting her hard.

Zhao Xuan kept wailing and begging for mercy.

When Wei Jing stopped, he was already bruised and swollen, lying on the ground unconscious. Jiang Mingwei was terrified, but today's matter had been resolved, and both she and Zhao Xuan's lives were saved.

Wei Jing's face was gloomy. He glanced at Zhao Xuan and said coldly, "If anyone tells others about what happened today, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Zhao Xuan hurriedly agreed. Wei Jing looked at Lu Yun again, and Lu Yun nodded with a pale face.

Jiang Mingwei's eyes turned and she said, "Miss Lu, the thief has admitted it himself, what else do you have to say?"

Lu Yun looked embarrassed. Seeing Wei Jing's gaze sweeping over, she stammered, "I saw this lecher hugging Madam earlier... I misunderstood. Madam, please forgive me."

"Misunderstand?"

Jiang Mingwei sneered, "What a misunderstanding. A woman's reputation is so important. Miss Lu, can you just let a misunderstanding go? It was clearly this lecher who did something bad to me before. Since you saw it, you didn't call for help, but you slandered me for having an affair with someone? What's the logic behind this?"

"Fortunately, only you and Wei Jing are here today. If you had brought other people here because of your misunderstanding, I'm afraid that not only I but also the Wei family would lose face."

Lu Yun's face turned red after being scolded by her all the time, and she couldn't help but look to Wei Jing for help.

However, Wei Jing frowned, looking displeased, and it was obvious that he was dissatisfied with her previous behavior.

Lu Yun had no choice but to lower his head: "It's my fault, please punish me, Madam."

"How dare I?"

Jiang Mingwei was a person who held grudges. She was still brooding over what Wei Jing said yesterday. She finally got the chance to sarcastically reply, "Miss Lu has someone to protect her. How dare I touch you?"

Her words had a hidden meaning, and Wei Jing understood it immediately, feeling both amused and confused for a moment.

His sister-in-law seemed a little... different from the impression he had of her.

-

Wei Zhi's funeral lasted for seven days, and Jiang Mingwei also pretended to cry for seven days, until her eyes were sore from crying.

Now he was sitting in the hall, his eyes still red and swollen, looking at Zhou's aggressiveness, and rubbed his ears.

Zhou's saliva was flying all over the place, and in the end it was just one thing she wanted to talk about - to make Lu Yun her co-wife.

This is absolutely impossible. Besides, Lu Yun had previously informed Wei Jing. If she had not planned ahead, she would have been killed by Wei Jing.

"Mother, I have said before that I do not agree with Lu Yun coming in as a concubine. If you insist on doing so, then give me a letter of divorce, and Lu Yun will come in as the principal wife. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Hearing this, Zhou's face changed drastically and she said angrily: "What do you mean by best of both worlds? I think you are just dreaming!"

Jiang Mingwei burst out laughing.

"If you don't agree, then Lu Yun and her son will never be able to enter the Wei family."

Zhou pointed at Jiang Mingwei, shaking with anger and unable to speak for a long time.

Jiang Mingwei looked at the two of them with a smile in her eyes.

The night before, Lu Yun went to see Zhou. No one knew what they talked about. But although Lu Yun was a female doctor, she was proud and unwilling to be a co-wife.

Besides, Wei Zhi is dead, and Lu Yun is only interested in profit. How can she be willing to be the wife of a dead man?

Coupled with a book of unofficial history that she had accidentally come across before, she knew that Lu Yun had more tricks up his sleeve and was just putting on an act now.

Sure enough, seeing that Jiang Mingwei refused to give in, Lu Yun knelt down towards Zhou.

"Madam, I don't really care about marrying into the Wei family. I just want Heng'er to be protected by the Wei family, to be able to study, and to have enough food and clothing. I'll be satisfied."
