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

At this moment, the originally bustling courtyard fell silent.

Everyone held their breath and looked towards the entrance, expecting the arrival of the Grand Princess.

As the most honorable woman in the Kingdom of Nanjing, her popularity even far exceeds that of the current queen, so naturally no one wants to offend her.

As a member of the general's family, Jiang Mingwei naturally knelt in the front row. When she heard the footsteps, she couldn't help but look up.

The visitor was wearing an intricate and gorgeous palace dress, with a gold-powder background embroidered with large, dazzling peonies and fluttering butterflies. From a distance, the flowers looked like clusters of them leaping before one's eyes, gorgeous and exquisite.

The eldest princess is over 40 years old, but she has taken good care of herself, and time has not left too many traces on this beauty's face.

The golden hairpin makes her face look even more elegant, and her every move is filled with captivating charm and shock.

When she took one look at him, she felt the pressure doubled.

Jiang Mingwei couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this eldest princess is really full of momentum!

However, what creates a cute contrast is the little kid snuggling beside the Grand Princess.

She had her hair tied up in a bun, and wore a light pink skirt and a peach blossom hairpin on her forehead. Even without any makeup, it was obvious that she would be stunningly beautiful when she grew up.

It should be the eldest princess’ daughter, Princess An Ning.

"Everyone is here. The General's Mansion is really bustling today. My trip was not in vain."

The eldest princess smiled and spoke softly, and it seemed that she was in a good mood.

Zhou smiled flatteringly and raised her head: "It is an honor for the General's Mansion to have the Grand Princess visit my humble home. I am very grateful."

"You don't have to do this, old lady."

The eldest princess smiled and nodded, "Your son has made great contributions to the country on the battlefield, and he should be respected. I was born into a family of common people, and the people I should respect the most are heroes."

These words are so soothing and make people feel very comfortable.

Zhou was slightly startled when she heard this. She pulled the corners of her mouth and forced herself to smile. She felt so bitter in her heart that she couldn't express it.

If these words were spoken to her eldest son Wei Zhi, Zhou would probably cry her eyes out.

But the person the Grand Princess praised was Wei Jing.

That extremely lowly concubine who had no blood relationship with him!

Unfortunately, in front of all the guests, Zhou couldn't speak directly and could only swallow her anger...

"You are General Wei Xiaolang's legal wife, the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter, Jiang Mingwei, right?"

As her thoughts wandered, the Grand Princess suddenly pointed at Jiang Mingwei. She looked up and met a pair of silent eyes.

She quickly bowed her head and responded, "Thank you for the concern of the Grand Princess. I am very terrified."

"General Wei also sacrificed his life for his country. It's hard for you to lose your husband at such a young age."

The eldest princess spoke with regret as she looked up and down at Jiang Mingwei's outfit today.

Her outfit is unique and suitable for today's occasion, yet simple and low-key. It can be seen that she is still remembering her husband.

Proper and beautiful, the eldest princess nodded with satisfaction.

"You chose a good outfit today. It looks good with both heavy and light makeup. No one says that you have to dress up to look your best when attending a banquet. You look great like this."

After hearing these words, everyone immediately turned their eyes to Jiang Mingwei.

Many young ladies had already noticed Jiang Mingwei's clothes, but because of face, they didn't dare to ask her where she bought them.

Now that even the Grand Princess has praised it, many people are eager to try it out and are just waiting to get free time later. They must go and ask Jiang Mingwei immediately.

After all, the eldest princess is the fashion trendsetter among the noble ladies in Bianjing.

She said it looks good, how could it be fake?!

"Thank you for the compliment, Grand Princess. I originally wanted to commemorate my husband, so I wore simple and elegant clothes today. I was afraid that I might offend you, but now that I have received the praise from Her Royal Highness, I feel much more comforted."

Jiang Mingwei lowered her head and whispered, her words not only explaining the reason for this attire, but also inadvertently enhancing the image of the Grand Princess as a person who is kind and generous to others.

Sure enough, it made her smile and nod repeatedly.

After all, she is the daughter of the Prime Minister. The Grand Princess had heard some rumors about Jiang Mingwei.

It is said that she has always been arrogant and domineering, not taking others seriously, and has ruined her brother's marriage several times. Now it seems that what you hear is not as good as what you see.

Jiang Mingwei knows honor and disgrace, and knows when to advance and retreat. She is a very good girl, and she likes her very much.

"It is a great honor for this place to have the princess come to the general's residence today. I would like to thank the Grand Princess here!"

Just as we exchanged a few more pleasantries and were about to leave, a discordant sound came into our ears.

The eldest princess frowned slightly. Who dared to speak before her?

Following the sound, I saw Lu Yun kneeling on Zhou's right. Her clothes were completely different from Jiang Mingwei's.

The princess's visit is of course to express condolences on behalf of the royal family.

So before coming, the Grand Princess first inquired about the situation in the General's Mansion.

She knew that the Wei family had few members. Apart from the meritorious Wei Jing, there were his stepmother Zhou and Jiang Mingwei, the widow of his brother who died in battle.

But I didn't hear that there was anyone else in the backyard? !

Seeing that she was dressed gorgeously and was kneeling on Zhou's right, she must have a high status in the mansion.

He spoke suddenly, clearly trying to attract attention.

The eldest princess looked unhappy and asked in a deep voice: "Who is this..."

Zhou clenched her fists and glared at Lu Yun fiercely, wishing she could sew her mouth shut.

After all, she is something that cannot be seen in public. She is not as sensible as Jiang Mingwei!

She quickly apologized with a smile and explained to the Grand Princess: "Princess, she is my distant niece. Since there are few people in the General's Mansion, I asked her to take care of the affairs."

"I see. It seems that the old lady loves this niece very much."

The eldest princess smiled faintly, her tone calm, and no one could tell whether she was happy or angry, but everyone who knew her knew that she was somewhat unhappy at the moment.

"Okay, everyone, don't gather here, go out and have fun! The emperor put a lot of effort into building this general's mansion. It would be a shame if we don't visit it."

After everyone answered yes, they dispersed.

The eldest princess turned her head to look at Princess An Ning beside her, squatted down and gestured to her.

"An Ning, can your mother take you around?"

An Ning pouted her lips, looked around timidly, and did not respond.

Jiang Mingwei looked at this scene and understood.

She knew from the original owner's memory that the eldest princess had a deaf-mute daughter.

An Ningsheng was born with a delicate appearance, just like a porcelain doll. It's really pitiful that she would suffer such a fate.

Fortunately, the scholar was born into a royal family, and he lived a life of luxury, which was a blessing in disguise...

However, as everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts, no one noticed that Lu Yun was glaring at Jiang Mingwei with resentment.

Just now, the Grand Princess only saw Jiang Mingwei and didn't ask her at all. Lu Yun felt really unbalanced!

She simply spoke up, wanting the Grand Princess to know her.

But I never thought that I would see disdain and suspicion towards myself in her eyes?

Lu Yun was already very unhappy. Since she had already decided to kill Jiang Mingwei, she certainly would not change her mind!

When no one was paying attention, she moved slightly and quietly approached Jiang Mingwei...
