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

She couldn't hide the joy on her face, and Wei Jing saw it clearly when he turned his head.

When it fell into his eyes, he inexplicably recalled the heartbeat he felt when Jiang Mingwei smiled at him.

He coughed lightly and asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law seems to be looking forward to it."

"Of course, I'm looking forward to it! This is my first time attending a royal banquet since I came here, and I can even ride a horse. I wonder what it feels like..."

Jiang Mingwei nodded and spoke without thinking.

He was halfway through his words when he suddenly froze.

Wait, the original owner was the daughter of the prime minister after all, so she had naturally participated in many royal banquets. Wouldn’t it be a giveaway if she said this?

Fortunately, Wei Jing's expression did not change.

But to be on the safe side, she smiled awkwardly and changed her words.

"I mean, this is my first time attending a royal banquet since I married into the Wei family, so I'm a little excited. Don't mind it, second brother, don't mind it..."

After saying that, she picked up her skirt and fled quickly, fearing that some shocking secrets would be revealed.

Given Wei Jing's sensitivity, she was really afraid of something going wrong!

Gazing at Jiang Mingwei's fleeing back, Wei Jing looked gloomy and felt indescribably melancholy in his heart.

Is he really that terrifying? When my sister-in-law saw him, she ran away as fast as she could...

When Nanny Wang learned that the two were invited to attend a poetry and wine banquet, she immediately informed Zhou of the matter.

If Zhou had heard this news in the past, she would have been furious, with flames of jealousy surging in her heart. She would once again look up to the sky and howl, asking God why it was her own son who died instead of Wei Jing?

All of this should clearly belong to her Zhier!

But this time, she seemed unusually calm and even drank her tea without changing her expression.

He snorted coldly and looked at Nanny Wang with dissatisfaction.

It seemed like he was blaming her. Was it such a small matter that warranted such a fuss?

"I understand. Just go! They were invited by the Grand Princess. How can an old woman like me stop them? Let them go. But if they encounter any accidents, whether they can come back alive or not is their own business. It has nothing to do with me."

As she spoke, she sighed, her face grim. After drinking the tea in the cup, Zhou walked into the inner room, facing Nanny Wang's puzzled look, and did not forget to close the door.

Just like these days, Nanny Wang was also locked out of the door.

No one knew what she was doing in the house, but soon after she entered, an inconspicuous gray carrier pigeon flew out from her back window.

It flapped its wings, soared into the sky, and finally disappeared above the Wei Mansion...

Jiang Mingwei was thinking about riding horses!

After returning to the yard, he immediately ordered Hua Cui to find his horse-faced skirt!

In the past, she had to maintain the image of a lady from a noble family, so when she traveled, she could only ride in a carriage even if there were horses. But it was different in the forest garden.

Everyone can ride a horse, even women.

If the time hadn't come yet, she really wanted to go run two laps right away and try it!

However, just as she was flexing her wrists with high hopes, planning to show off her skills on horseback, Hua Cui looked at Jiang Mingwei as if she were a fool, and told her a piece of news that was like a bolt from the blue -

"Miss, have you been living a muddled life? When you were a child, you fell off a pony. Although you only had some scratches, you have been traumatized by horses ever since. You refuse to ride a horse no matter what. That's why you don't have a horse skirt."

"what?"

Jiang Mingwei was stunned and searched the original owner's memory. Sure enough, she found such a passage and suddenly felt like crying but had no tears.

What happened to the original owner?

He is obviously arrogant and domineering, not taking others seriously, so why is he afraid of this and that and doesn't even dare to ride a horse?

What a pretty idiot!

Even though she doesn't know how to do it, she can practice.

If we don’t overcome fear, won’t we live in fear all our lives?

Seeing Jiang Mingwei's face full of regret and loss, Hua Cui couldn't bear it and quickly suggested.

"It's too late to order it now, but there should be ready-made clothes for sale in the capital, but they may not be so good-looking. If the young lady doesn't mind, shall we go buy a set first?"

"Yeah!"

Jiang Mingwei's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly, then went out of the house and went to the street with Hua Cui.

The two went to Huarong Clothing Store first. Business was as booming as before, with guests coming in an endless stream.

However, most of the clothes in Huarong Clothing Store were of dignified and elegant styles or gorgeous and grand, and they were expensive. There were no horse-faced skirts or the like, so Jiang Mingwei did not intend to go in and disturb them from receiving guests.

She and Hua Cui continued walking forward and were taken to a clothing store, where all the clothes hung were women's riding clothes.

Such a dashing and heroic figure, very beautiful!

The waiter looked up and saw Jiang Mingwei was dressed luxuriously, so he knew she must be some wealthy lady. He quickly approached her with a smile and asked her what she needed.

Jiang Mingwei was not shy and said excitedly, "I want to go horseback riding. Do you have a horse-faced skirt that fits my body shape? Would you like one?"

"Oh, Madam, you have finally come to the right place! Our store specializes in selling horse-faced skirts and armor. Come on, Madam, let's go up to the second floor. There are all kinds of fine materials and goods there, which match your temperament!"

Jiang Mingwei didn't hesitate and followed him upstairs.

Sure enough, the clothes on the second floor were more gorgeous and looked more sturdy than those on the first floor.

The waiter brought her to the horse-faced skirt and introduced her one by one.

Jiang Mingwei reached out and touched the material, and her heart was filled with ripples...

The moment she saw these horse-faced skirts, she suddenly felt like she was connected to the real world.

After all, in modern times, horse-faced skirts are worn quite frequently. Although she has never bought one, she has seen her roommate wear it, and it looks very cool.

However, compared with the horse-faced skirt of later generations, it is more dignified. Although it looks a little shorter now, it is more imposing and more convenient for riding.

Soon, Jiang Mingwei picked out a dark blue one with faint white stamens embroidered on it. It was neither too eye-catching nor too stain-resistant.

After buying the horse-faced skirt, she returned home happily.

Now, just wait for the arrival of the poetry and wine banquet!

At the same time, Jiang Mingwei was also very surprised. If Zhou had received the news that she and Wei Jing were going to attend the banquet in the past, she would have probably been unable to hold back and made a fuss, speaking up for her dead son and once again morally blackmailing Wei Jing and herself.

Why did she disappear when she was supposed to jump out this time?

Although she was confused, Jiang Mingwei didn't want to care about it anymore.

Let’s play first. If Zhou really wants to do something weird, the worst that can happen is that we can just counter her moves. But you can’t just stay awake and guard against her, right?

However, this time, Jiang Mingwei was wrong.

Until the day of departure, Zhou had not done anything to her and Wei Jing.

The two were invited together, so naturally they rode in the same carriage.

Wei Jing came first and sat in the carriage waiting for Jiang Mingwei.

The moment the curtain was lifted, his eyes lit up——
