Zhou was not giving up. She pushed Wei Jing away, lifted her skirt and stormed into the house.

His sharp eyes swept through the room inch by inch, as if he wanted to catch that damn bitch!

It's both annoyance and a way to vent anger.

Why was it her always gentle and considerate son who died on the battlefield instead of Wei Jing, the dirty concubine's son?

Unfortunately, her son didn't even leave behind a corpse, but this bastard was able to return to the capital, be granted a title and set up a mansion, which brought him great honor.

Zhou was really resentful!

If the woman can really be found in this house today, she will go to the emperor to file a complaint in the future and will surely ruin Wei Jing's reputation, so that he will not become too proud and forget his roots.

But after looking around twice, Zhou didn't see anything. She turned to look at Lu Yun, who also looked surprised.

Strange, could she have seen it wrong?

But now he couldn't let Zhou go to Jiang Mingwei's yard again, otherwise his intentions would be too obvious.

"Mother, can you see clearly that there is a woman in this room?"

Zhou snorted coldly and waved her sleeves in anger, "No is the best! Don't forget, if it weren't for your elder brother, you wouldn't be where you are today. It wouldn't be too much for you to mourn for him for three years!"

"I will never forget your kindness, elder brother. I don't need to bother you to remind me again and again."

After glaring at Wei Jing, Zhou left angrily.

Lu Yun bit her lower lip, unwilling to keep up with her pace. When she reached the door and turned around, she saw that the light in the house was dim, and Wei Jing's eyes fell on her, making her tremble with fear...

The effect of the medicine surged again, and veins bulged on Wei Jing's forehead. He staggered forward to close the door and walked to the corner.

His room used to be a woodshed, and there was an unknown cellar, which was cold and damp.

In a hurry just now, he had no choice but to hide Jiang Mingwei there.

Now that the crisis is over, it's time to let her up.

But a fishy and sweet taste surged in his throat, and with a "plop" sound, the enchanting blood scattered all over the ground.

Wei Jing's body was shaky, his eyes went dark, and he completely fainted...

In the cellar, Jiang Mingwei curled up due to the cold, but she only heard a muffled sound, and then there was no further sound.

With a bad feeling in her heart, she raised her hand and knocked on the secret door.

"Second brother, second brother, are you there?!"

No one responded. In the pitch-dark space, she could only hear her own breathing.

The night thickened and the cellar grew colder.

Jiang Mingwei rubbed her hands vigorously, trying to slow down the loss of body temperature, but it was of no avail.

Why am I so unlucky? Nothing good will happen to me when I meet Wei Jing. If I can survive, I really need to stay away from him next time!

She closed her eyes, and her consciousness gradually faded away...

The next day.

As dawn broke in the sky, Wei Jing frowned as he woke up from a splitting headache. The memories of last night flooded into his mind like a tide.

He took a sip of the tea on the table, and then he was poisoned. Jiang Mingwei, who came to visit him, thought he was the one who drugged him, and almost had sex with her...

Later, due to excessive anger from practicing Qigong, he vomited blood and then fainted.

Yes, sister-in-law!

He quickly opened the cellar and saw Jiang Mingwei curled up, her face as pale as paper.

Wei Jing felt guilty and held her in his arms. The woman was as cold as ice.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, wake up?"

He placed his trembling fingers under Jiang Mingwei's nose.

Not until he sensed a slight fluctuation did he finally let go of his tense heart. He immediately channeled his internal energy into her until her face became rosy.

Hua Cui waited in the yard all night but didn't see her young lady come back. She was so anxious that her eyes were swollen from crying.

Just when she was about to go out and ask the Second Master to find someone, she saw him walking in from outside holding Jiang Mingwei.

"Miss!"

Hua Cui burst into laughter and was about to step forward, but was forced back by Wei Jing's cold eyes.

"Which room does your master sleep in?"

Hua Cui turned around timidly and took Wei Jing to the bedroom.

After carefully putting Jiang Mingwei down and covering her with a quilt, Wei Jing turned around.

"Take good care of your sister-in-law."

Hua Cui was about to speak but stopped herself, and mustered up the courage to ask: "Excuse me, Second Master, where was the young lady last night, and why did she not come back all night?"

Wei Jing put his hands behind his back, his eyes sharp as an eagle, and spoke word by word.

"Last night, my sister-in-law saw an assassin sneak into my yard. The situation was critical, so she had to stay in the cellar all night and caught a cold. I have asked a doctor to treat her. As her personal maid, you should know how to explain it to others!"

Hua Cui knew that this was a message to her not to talk nonsense, so after nodding, Wei Jing turned around.

Before leaving, he looked at Jiang Mingwei guiltily.

When the footsteps disappeared, Jiang Mingwei slowly opened her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Go get me a glass of water."

"Miss, are you awake? I'll be there right away!"

Hua Cui was surprised and happy, and hurriedly poured water for Jiang Mingwei. She helped her stand up, took small sips of the water, and her dry throat felt much more soothed.

In fact, she had already woken up.

Wei Jing transferred his internal energy to her, and she gradually woke up after her body warmed up. But if she opened her eyes, the atmosphere between them would definitely become even more awkward.

I simply pretended to be unconscious all the way until I returned to the yard.

She was really exhausted last night, but that was all. Wei Jing felt guilty about her. He was a man who valued affection and courtesy. If she asked for anything in the future, he might not refuse. It could be considered an unexpected gain.

Seeing Jiang Mingwei coughing weakly, Hua Cui wiped away her tears with heartache.

"The Wei family is really too bullying! The young lady is the daughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat after all. Before she got married, she was the center of attention. But after marrying here, she is being bullied by them!"

"No matter how glorious it was, it was in the past. Now we just need to live our own lives. Good Hua Cui, I'll sleep for a while."

Hua Cui nodded repeatedly and tucked the quilt for Jiang Mingwei.

"Miss, go to sleep. When the doctor comes, I will welcome him."

Jiang Mingwei closed her eyes tiredly and sighed helplessly in her heart.

Since the death of her adoptive father, the original owner's relationship with her brother gradually faded, and she was isolated and helpless. Otherwise, how would Zhou dare to boss her around like this?

It seems that in the future, I still have to find the backer I need and hold on to the thigh I need. At least in the Wei family, I can no longer be bullied for no reason!

As a person, you have to fight for your dignity even if you don't make money. She is not the coward that the original owner was...

When Jiang Mingwei fell into a deep sleep, Lu Yun, who was far away in the west courtyard, let out a scream.

She looked towards the hall with horror. The bloody mass of flesh and blood, wailing and rolling on the ground, could barely make out a human figure.

"Second Young Master, what do you mean?"

With her shoulders hunched, Lu Yun's beautiful eyes were misty as she looked at Wei Jing sadly.

He was a veteran of the battlefield and had a murderous aura about him, which was really frightening.

"Yesterday I accidentally got poisoned, and I found out that this boy spiked the tea. Under torture, he confessed that it was Miss Lu who ordered it, so I naturally have to ask for the truth!"

"Miss Lu, yes or no?"

Lu Yun twisted the handkerchief tightly with both hands, and her tears flowed just right.

"What do you mean, Second Young Master? Are you saying that I poisoned you? How is that possible?"

But as soon as she finished her words, the bloody mass suddenly rushed towards her.

"Ms. Lu, save me..."
