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

The seventh day of May is a good day to move into your new home.

Since Wei Jing returned to the capital, the general's mansion has been almost repaired and will be ready for occupancy soon.

The Ministry of Rites gave an auspicious time, and the best time is the seventh day of May, which is seven days away.

The entire Wei Mansion was busy tidying up, except for Jiang Mingwei's yard, where nothing had happened. The servants who were cleaning and Hua Cui were extremely anxious, but she acted as if nothing had happened and didn't care at all.

"Miss, if you don't clean it up now, it will be too late!"

Oh yes, what we want is that it’s too late!

When all the people in the Wei family move out, she will say that her things have not been taken care of. If she continues to dawdle for a few more days, maybe they will move into the big house, and the wealthy Wei family will forget about her.

If I can avoid the spies, I will sell all the dowry, exchange it for silver notes, and run away with Hua Cui and Aunt Lan, and never go near this damn Bian Jing again.

Go to the south of the Yangtze River to find a misty town, buy a few guards, and keep a few handsome men. Wouldn't that be a wonderful life?

Just thinking about it, Jiang Mingwei couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't worry, they are busy with their own things."

Jiang Mingwei waved her hand, looking lazy and relaxed. "Everything will work out when the time comes. Maybe we can finish it in one day."

Not sure whether Hua Cui would tell anyone about the plan, Jiang Mingwei decided to remain silent until it succeeded.

Hua Cui pouted, "But..."

Before she could say anything, she saw someone coming to the door, and she hurriedly reminded Jiang Mingwei who was sitting on the recliner.

"Miss, the Second Master is here."

Jiang Mingwei suddenly opened her eyes, stood up from the recliner, and saw Wei Jing striding towards her.

She smiled and asked, "What brings my second brother here?"

Ever since she accidentally starved the koi to death, she was afraid of being caught and scolded by Wei Jing, so she had been very well behaved during this period.

It just so happened that Zhou and Lu Yun stopped making trouble, so Jiang Mingwei simply stayed indoors. She drew a bunch of clothing styles, and asked Hua Cui to give them to Liu Rulan to choose from. Then she did nothing else.

I guess you're not here to call me to task today, right?

Wei Jing was wearing a moon-white gown, which lost some of the fierceness of a military commander and brought a rare gentle aura.

What should I do? I seem to look more handsome than usual?

"Sister-in-law."

Wei Jing bowed to Jiang Mingwei and explained, "I should have come a few days ago, but something delayed me, so I moved it to today. I wonder if my sister-in-law is free now?"

Jiang Mingwei breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they were not looking for trouble with her, it was fine. She nodded repeatedly and said, "Of course there is. Please speak up, second brother."

Wei Jing took out a bunch of keys from his arms and presented it with both hands.

Jiang Mingwei was slightly startled, looked at the key in confusion, then looked up at him.

"This is……"

"After returning from this battle, my brother's pension and my reward have been stored in the treasury of the general's mansion. Since you are the eldest sister-in-law and your brother has passed away, you should have some money, so the power of housekeeping should fall into your hands. Please take charge of the household and manage the general's mansion."

Wei Jing's tone was calm but powerful, and it was clear that he had made up his mind to hand over the power of housekeeper to Jiang Mingwei.

Hua Cui's face turned red with excitement. How could such a good thing fall from the sky?

Everyone knows that the General's Mansion received generous rewards. If Jiang Mingwei is in charge of the household expenses, she can run shops and farms, and the money can naturally be used by her without any restrictions!

Although Jiang Mingwei's dowry was already quite a lot, who would complain about having too much money?

If Jiang Mingwei hadn't nodded in agreement, Hua Cui would have wanted to snatch the butler key from Wei Jing immediately.

She looked at Jiang Mingwei expectantly.

My young lady is a money-lover, so she should accept it immediately, right?

Sure enough, the next moment, she saw the young lady reaching out for the housekeeper's key -

"I'm really sorry, second brother, I can't take this key. You should give it to someone else."

Jiang Mingwei paused slightly, and instead of taking the key, she pushed Wei Jing's hand a little closer to his arms.

The sudden rejection stunned Wei Jing and Hua Cui.

"Miss……"

Hua Cui's eyes widened, her face full of confusion.

Is the lady stupid? She actually rejected such a good opportunity!

In recent years, Zhou has been in power in the Wei Mansion, and Jiang Mingwei's dowry is also in her hands. She has been living in dire straits and extreme poverty for the past three years.

Only after they received the dowry did they become more financially comfortable, so Hua Cui felt that the young lady would not refuse no matter what.

But she rejected it so gracefully, to everyone's surprise...

"Does sister-in-law have any concerns?"

Wei Jing came back to his senses and promised solemnly: "If sister-in-law is afraid that mother will be angry, don't worry. I will explain to her that this is my decision and I will not let sister-in-law be implicated."

"Besides, the power of housekeeper is in your hands, and mother will respect you a little."

Wei Jing had already considered this point. Whoever holds the power of housekeeper will control the family's financial power. Even if Zhou dislikes Jiang Mingwei, she has to give her some face.

By then, Jiang Mingwei's life will naturally be much better.

But Jiang Mingwei just smiled and tried her best to refuse: "Second brother, you misunderstood. I didn't accept it because I didn't want to use my brain. The power of the housekeeper is a hot commodity. I think everyone wants to fight for it. Don't make it difficult for me."

"After my husband passed away, I just wanted to live my life well. It would be enough to have enough food and clothes."

Wei Jing was slightly stunned and wanted to insist, but Jiang Mingwei refused again without hesitation.

"No need to persuade me, second brother. I really don't want it."

She spoke sincerely. Something that everyone wanted to hold in their hands was like a monster to her, and she avoided it as much as a flood or a beast.

Wei Jing could see that she was not lying.

A hint of loneliness flashed across his eyes, and he had to take it back with regret.

He originally thought that his eldest sister-in-law would be very happy if he handed over the power of housekeeper to her.

Now it seems that he was wrong...

"Since my sister-in-law doesn't want to, I won't force her, so forget it."

Lifting his head and looking around, Wei Jing frowned slightly, "We're moving to a new residence soon, and it seems like you haven't packed up your things yet, sister-in-law?"

"Don't worry, I..."

"Yeah, yeah, there are so many things left to pack!"

Without waiting for Jiang Mingwei to speak, Hua Cui nodded quickly.

Wei Jing looked at the maids and servants in the yard. They were indeed all very thin and frail. No wonder it had taken so long to clean up.

"How can this be possible? Then let me help my sister-in-law clean up!"

Having said that, he rolled up his sleeves and got to work.

Jiang Mingwei hurriedly tried to stop him, "No need..."

The next moment, I saw his wheat-colored arms, with clear muscle texture and bulging blue veins, and I swallowed silently.

Man, what a great body!

In the past, when she wore a long robe, you wouldn't have thought she had such a nice figure...

At this moment, not to mention the original owner, even Jiang Mingwei wanted to seduce him!

But he has the desire but not the courage to do it, unless his little head doesn't want it anymore.

But since it was Wei Jing who offered to work for her and admire the handsome man, he shouldn't die, right?

Thinking of this, Jiang Mingwei smiled, lifted her skirt, and quickly followed Wei Jing to the warehouse...
