After all, as a military commander who fought on the battlefield, Wei Jing always had a fierce look on his face, filled with murderous intent.

But when faced with Jiang Mingwei's question, he was somewhat evasive, with his eyes lowered, as if he didn't dare to look into her eyes.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Mingwei vaguely understood.

"Even if my second brother didn't tell me, I can probably guess that you just don't think it's necessary to see me, or you don't want to see me, right?"

Wei Jing pursed his thin lips, his deep eyes showing a hint of helplessness.

"It's just a misunderstanding between my sister-in-law and Minister Jiang. Everything will be fine once the misunderstanding is resolved."

Jiang Mingwei looked up in surprise. She didn't expect Wei Jing to comfort her.

But he is a straight man after all, and this method of comforting people is too low-level.

Fortunately, she didn't care and waved her hands with a self-deprecating look.

She would feel sad because of Jiang Mingjin's breakup, but Jiang Mingwei felt that this was a projection of the original owner's emotions.

After all, she and Jiang Mingjin are not related, so why would she feel sad for him?

"Don't worry, second brother. I don't care. But I came here today for my brother. As you said, he came on the day of the housewarming party, but he was not there when we saw him off at the door. Did he leave early?"

"It's true."

Wei Jing nodded, "It seems that something happened in the mansion, so he hurriedly said goodbye to me and left first."

At this point, Wei Jing's eyes became obscure.

In fact, he wanted to tell Jiang Mingwei that day, but then he thought of the relationship between the two siblings and finally chose to hide it.

Otherwise, once Jiang Mingwei went to visit her out of worry, she might not be treated kindly. Given how much Jiang Mingjin disliked Jiang Mingwei, she might even blame her for everything.

Wei Jing always felt that Jiang Mingwei didn't need to suffer such grievances, so he simply kept the matter secret.

I didn't expect that Jiang Mingwei would ask about it today.

"If I'm not mistaken, was he flustered and nervous when he left?"

Without noticing the change in Wei Jing's expression, Jiang Mingwei continued to speak of her guesses and inferences.

Wei Jing nodded again.

"That's right. A servant from the Jiang residence came and whispered something in his ear. Minister Jiang's face turned particularly ugly and he left quickly without staying for long."

Jiang Mingwei's heart skipped a beat. If that was true, then it couldn't be wrong!

It's definitely Li Yihuan's body, symptoms are beginning to show...

Now it is only a mild symptom. After some time, the first onset of the poison will occur.

She must hurry up and make the antidote...

"I see. Thank you, second brother. You go ahead and do your work. I won't bother you anymore."

Frightened, Jiang Mingwei stood up and hurried toward the door without looking carefully at her feet.

She accidentally touched the hem of her skirt and her body fell forward uncontrollably. Just as she was about to make close contact with the ground, a big hand wrapped around her slender waist.

With a little effort, he brought it into his arms.

The scent of sandalwood filled her nostrils. When Jiang Mingwei came to her senses, she bumped into his broad and hard chest. She looked up dazedly and met Wei Jing's deep dark eyes.

It was like a vast and boundless ocean that sucked her in in an instant!

Her heart was beating uncontrollably and she almost pushed Wei Jing away subconsciously.

But what Jiang Mingwei didn't expect was that she couldn't push away Wei Jing's arms.

His arms were like branding irons, locking her tightly inside them...

Her heart was beating fast. The two of them were very close to each other. Looking at the handsome face so close to her, Jiang Mingwei blushed.

What to do… With such a handsome face in front of her, she really couldn’t control herself and kissed him!

But when she thought of the original owner's tragic ending, she immediately came to her senses.

In short, don’t be greedy for beauty, especially Wei Jing, you absolutely cannot be greedy!

For the sake of your life, you must stay as far away from him as possible.

So she stretched out her index finger and placed it between Wei Jing and her, forcing them to leave some space between them.

"Um... Second brother, I'm fine, you can let me go."

Jiang Mingwei spoke in a low voice, and Wei Jing came to his senses and found that he was hugging her tightly, so he quickly let go.

"Offended," he whispered.

Jiang Mingwei shook her head, turned around and left quickly, without noticing the pair of crimson earlobes next to Wei Jing's cold and indifferent face.

His eyes moved, revealing his panic and shame at the moment...

He looked down at his hands that were holding Jiang Mingwei's slender waist.

So...it was he who didn't want to let go?

Jiang Mingwei ran all the way back to her yard and continued to gasp for breath until she closed the door.

Thinking of the close contact with Wei Jing just now, my heart still beats faster.

What's going on?

It can't be said that she seduced Wei Jing today, it was clearly Wei Jing who held her tightly and refused to let go!

What should I do if Wei Jing is too stubborn and thinks that I am seducing him and wants to kill me?

The more he thought about Jiang Mingwei, the more headache he got. He pounded his head with his hand and let out a long sigh.

"Jiang Mingwei, ah Jiang Mingwei, you better be more careful! Although you have saved your head now, you still have to live a life of luxury. Don't let yourself get killed someday!"

She curled her lips and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

He patted his face, quickly sat down at the table and began to write down the medicinal materials.

It is still uncertain whether the medicinal herbs she painted can be found in this era.

So she could only use the existing herbs and try to make an antidote to suppress the poison in her body.

If we can find a way to crack it, that would be great.

But without the few herbs she needed, it would be extremely difficult.

It's not easy...

On the third day of seclusion to prepare the antidote, a letter came from the eldest princess.

Jiang Mingwei opened it and took a look at it. She immediately smiled happily and burned the letter with the candlelight beside her.

Hua Cui tilted her head and looked at her, "Miss, why did you burn the letter the princess sent you? The princess sent you the letter personally, and the letter paper was made of golden flower paper specially provided by the royal family! Isn't it a pity to burn it like this?"

"Silly girl, with this letter, there will be endless letters in the future. The eldest princess said in the letter that her health has improved a lot and she is thanking me! So this letter must be burned no matter what."

After all, the eldest princess is very averse to other people knowing her illness. If she keeps this letter and someone else takes it and makes a big fuss about it, that would be really unlucky!

Things that should not be kept must be removed immediately. You must not drag your feet or hesitate.

Jiang Mingwei thought to herself, and her hand that picked up the cup shook. She just held it in the air and didn't drink it for a long time.

Hua Cui quickly stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

"Strange...Miss, what's wrong with you? You picked up the cup but you don't drink it."

"I figured it out. I finally figured it out!"

Jiang Mingwei suddenly spoke, scaring Hua Cui.

He put the cup of water on the table, grabbed Hua Cui's hand, and spoke with joy on his face.

"That's right, you can't add anything that shouldn't be added. I'll remove it and try again!"

After saying that, he went straight to the ear room next to the house.

This is the place where she has been preparing medicine these days.

These days, progress on drugs to curb Li Yihuan's condition has been stagnant.

Until just now, she thought of a brilliant solution...
