A gust of cold wind blew in Jiang Mingwei's face, and she was startled and quickly covered herself.

I heard the collision of pearls and jade, and a crying voice came into my ears.

"Miss!"

Hua Cui ran into the house holding up her skirt. The moment she saw Jiang Mingwei, tears couldn't be held back and she rushed towards her and hugged her tightly.

"Miss, I missed you so much. Do you know that I was almost scared to death?"

She was so strong that Jiang Mingwei felt she couldn't breathe and her face gradually turned blue and purple.

“Good Hua Cui, let go of your lady first, I’m almost suffocating!”

Jiang Mingwei reached out and patted her gently. Hua Cui came back to her senses and quickly let go of Jiang Mingwei, her face full of concern.

"Miss, are you okay?"

"It's okay to fall off the cliff, but I was almost strangled to death by you just now!"

Jiang Mingwei smiled and chuckled softly.

"Don't worry, your young lady is blessed with a good life. Isn't she fine? Nothing happened to her, right?"

Having said that, Jiang Mingwei was only wearing a bellyband at the moment.

The exposed arms were covered with tiny scars and purple bruises.

Even though he didn't lose his life, it was obvious that it wasn't as good as he said.

Hua Cui's eyes were blurred with tears. She pursed her lips to prevent herself from crying and just muttered.

"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay! As long as you survive, it's better than anything else..."

After the eldest princess' maid left, Hua Cui personally bathed Jiang Mingwei, took off her pearls and jades, and changed back into her usual clothes.

"Miss, you may not know that after you and the Second Master fell off the cliff, the Princess and the Lady of the Duke of Huaiguo were frightened. They searched for you in vain and had no other choice but to let this maidservant take your place and pretend to stay at the Princess's mansion for a few days."

"As for the Second Master, he is a man, so naturally no one will say anything. I have to separate the two of you so that I won't be suspected when I come back. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be scolded!"

Jiang Mingwei nodded, understanding.

It was exactly as Wei Jing told her.

The world is still as ridiculous as ever. Men can do whatever they want, but as a woman, she will be humiliated if she does not return home without reason.

You are the one who gets hurt everywhere. It’s so hard to be a woman!

"They are both very thoughtful. I will be sure to thank them after I meet them later."

Jiang Mingwei murmured, feeling extremely grateful to the two of them.

Hua Cui paused slightly when cleaning her, with a complicated expression, and hesitated, not knowing whether to say it.

Noticing her hesitation, Jiang Mingwei turned around and asked suspiciously, "Are you worried about something?"

Hua Cui pursed her lips, hesitated for a while, and then said, "It's about the eldest master."

Jiang Mingjin?

Jiang Mingwei frowned slightly. If Jiang Mingjin knew that she fell off the cliff, he would probably be very happy. Why did he suddenly mention him?

"You say it and I listen."

So Hua Cui told her about Jiang Mingjin's strange and crazy behavior on the day Jiang Mingwei fell off the cliff, and she didn't even hesitate to scold him, but he said that he just didn't want his younger sister to die...

Later, he even helped cover up for the two of them.

And he came to ask several times yesterday if you had found them.

"If the eldest master cares about the young lady, how could he say such harsh words? In the past, when he saw the young lady, it was no different from seeing an enemy. He wanted to strangle you to death, but that day he said that he didn't want you to die..."

"But I was still too angry, so I just scolded him! I wanted you to ignore him from now on and let him fend for himself, but now...you should think about it yourself, I can't guess what the young master is thinking!"

Hua Cui rolled her eyes and muttered.

Jiang Mingwei chuckled, imagining the appearance of Jiang Mingjin as Hua Cui described. She was really surprised and shocked.

For a moment, she couldn't tell whether her good brother, who was related to her by blood, didn't want her to die or not?

Some feelings are too complicated after all...

After bathing, she went to thank the Grand Princess.

Wei Jing was standing at the gate of the courtyard waiting for her.

The two of them entered the room together, raised their hands to bow and thank the Grand Princess, but before they could kneel down, she stopped them and asked them to stand up.

"Hurry up and get up. Why should you kneel? I am relieved that you two can come back. Why would I ask you to kneel? Since you disappeared, I have been so worried and distressed!"

"Luckily you are all fine. After falling from such a high cliff, not only are you two alive, but you are not seriously injured. You are really lucky!"

Zhang Yongzhi had also been staying at the princess's residence these past few days, and was very pleased to see the two of them coming back.

"Yeah, I'm glad nothing happened. It's really rare. But...how did you two survive?"

Wei Jing bowed and replied: "There is a very deep lake under the cliff, so nothing happened."

The two of them then nodded in understanding.

"I heard that General Wei was slightly injured?"

The Grand Princess asked with concern: "Do you need a doctor to come and take a look? Don't worry, he must be a doctor I trust, and he will not tell anyone what happened between the two of you."

"Thank you for your kindness, Princess. I am now fine."

Wei Jing thanked him in a low voice, glanced at Jiang Mingwei beside him, and said softly: "Under the cliff, the sister-in-law has already taken care of it for me."

It was a very normal sentence, but when it fell into the ears of the Grand Princess and Zhang Yongzhi, the two of them looked at each other inadvertently with a faint smile in their eyes.

To show her concern, the Grand Princess still wanted to ask the imperial physician to take another look at him.

Wei Jing had no choice but to lift up his sleeve to let the Grand Princess see the bandaged wound.

Seeing that the wound was bandaged completely, the Grand Princess smiled and nodded.

But suddenly, his eyes fell on the scarlet mole on the inside of Wei Jing's wrist——

Her expression suddenly changed slightly and she stared for a long time!

So when Wei Jing was about to roll up his sleeves, she suddenly shouted at him.

"Don't move yet!"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense and solemn. Jiang Mingwei looked at the Grand Princess in confusion, and followed her gaze to the mole on Wei Jing's wrist.

Even if it is dazzling, it is just a mole, right?

Why did the Grand Princess look so shocked?

At this moment, regardless of the difference between men and women, the eldest princess held Wei Jing's wrist with trembling hands and looked at the mole carefully.

Then he looked up at Wei Jing, and this happened many times.

After a long time, she laughed softly but suppressed her sobs, her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and her expression was extremely sad.

"No wonder I felt so familiar with you when I first saw you. I thought it was an illusion, but now I know... I was just being stupid!"

"We couldn't find it no matter how hard we looked. It turns out he had taken it away!"

"It's all fate, it's all fate! I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse for you..."

The eldest princess was crying and laughing, muttering to herself.

Jiang Mingwei was keenly aware that it might be related to Wei Jing's life experience...

Could it be that the Grand Princess knows something?

Seeing that something was not right, Zhang Yongzhi quickly put her arms around the eldest princess' shoulders and forced her to separate from Wei Jing, with an obscure expression on her face.

"The Grand Princess is in a bad mood today. I'm afraid she needs to rest. Why don't you two go and rest first?"

"It's getting late, why not go back home tomorrow!"
