Before Jiang Xingyu could finish her words, Wu Mingyi stood up and interrupted her, "Zhangzhu, don't rush to explain to Miss Ning.
Miss Ning, you are also here to add makeup to the palm beads, right? What? Miss Ning is preparing to go back before the gift is given. Is the gift too light to give, or is the gift too heavy to part with? Hmm?"
Wu Mingyi paused, not waiting for Ning Wei and Jiang Xingyu to speak, and then said: "Don't ask me how I know.
Don't make excuses for yourself. I was just outside the door and saw Miss Ning standing at the door holding a gift box.
If the makeup gift is given out, the person holding the gift box should be someone close to Zhangzhu, not Miss Ning."
Ning Wei was ashamed and thought to herself that she was careless and why didn't she notice this.
Jiang Xingyu looked at Wu Mingyi, then at Ning Wei, and smoothed things over with a smile: "Sister Yi, you really misunderstood Ah Wei. I have accepted the makeup gift from Ah Wei and am about to give it to Zaohua and the others.
Help send it to the warehouse."
Wu Mingyi snorted coldly and glanced sideways at Jiang Xingyu.
Jiang Xingyu was made uncomfortable by Wu Mingyi's sideways glance, and he clasped his hands in embarrassment and confusion, thinking in his mind, what should he do to let Ning Wei escape?
Ning Wei looked at Wu Mingyi and felt a little annoyed. If she had known that Wu Mingyi would come to Jiang Mansion today, she would have come another day.
Wu Mingyi held on to her and wouldn't let go. If she forced her to leave, she didn't know how Wu Mingyi would embarrass Jiang Xingyu.
Ning Wei smiled and said, "Miss Wu has said so. It would be rude if I say leave again. Come, everyone, sit down and talk."
Jiang Xingyu was worried that Ning Wei would be angry with Wu Mingyi, so he said: "Awei, you have something to deal with, so go ahead and do it first!"
Wu Mingyi became even more angry when she saw Jiang Xingyu defending Ning Wei everywhere.
"Zhangzhu, how can you treat guests like this?
Miss Ning herself said she would stay, but you are still urging her to leave, what do you mean?"
Jiang Xingyu looked at Wu Mingyi and wanted to say something.
Ning Wei pulled Jiang Xingyu's hand, and Jiang Xingyu turned back to look at Ning Wei.
Ning Wei shook her head at her, indicating that she didn't need to say anything more.
The interaction between the two fell into Wu Mingyi's eyes. Wu Mingyi kicked the brocade stool angrily, sat down, and said to Jiang Xing in a loud voice: "Zhangzhu, I'm thirsty!"
The maid outside the door quickly came in with tea, "Cousin, here comes the tea."
Jiang Xingyu sighed, walked over, took a cup of tea from the tray and placed it in front of Wu Mingyi, "Sister Yi, please have tea. Ah Wei, come and sit."
Jiang Xingyu handed tea to Wu Mingyi and raised his head to greet Ning Wei.
Ning Wei smiled and said, "Okay!"
Wu Mingyi picked up the tea cup and saw Ning Wei's smiling face. It was so dazzling that she wanted to spill the tea in her hand.
Wu Mingyi resisted the movements of his hands and snorted: "Hypocritical!"
Ning Wei was too lazy to argue with her, pretended not to hear, walked to Jiang Xingyu and sat down.
Jiang Xingyu took away the previous tea cup and gave Ning Wei a cup of hot tea.
None of the three people spoke, and the room fell into silence for a moment.
In order to relieve the embarrassment, Jiang Xingyu looked at Wu Mingyi and said in a hurry:
"Yesterday, my grandmother came back from the Duke's Mansion and said that my great-aunt was bitten by a snake. How is she doing now? Is she feeling better?"
Ning Wei was stunned after hearing this. Mrs. Cui was bitten by a snake? How long has it been since? Why didn't she hear about it?
No, where did the snake come from in such a cold weather?
Wu Mingyi took a sip of tea and said calmly: "I asked Dr. Liu to see me and give me medicine.
Doctor Liu said that there is no serious problem, and he just needs to be nursed for a few days to eliminate the toxins in the body."
Jiang Xingyu nodded, "That's good. However, my great-aunt suffered an injury at such an old age."
When Mrs. Cui was mentioned, Wu Mingyi's mood eased a lot.
Sighing, "Who says it's not the case?
It's strange to say, it's so cold, how can there be a snake in the house?
I heard from my servants that when they heard my grandmother’s cry, they rushed in, opened the quilt, and saw two green bamboo leaves under the quilt of my grandmother.
Just thinking about it makes me feel weak all over. It’s so scary.
Last night, I was too scared to sleep. Whenever I closed my eyes, I felt like there was a snake on the bed.
Finally, I let Caixia and the others accompany me and I slept for a while."
Jiang Xingyu frowned and asked, "Has my great-aunt offended someone?"
Wu Mingyi was stunned, had her grandmother offended someone? For the past two days, she had only thought about how scary snakes were, but she did not expect that her grandmother would be retaliated against.
"Grandma is a housewife who stays at home all day long. How can she have the chance to offend others?"
Jiang Xingyu wondered, "Without offending anyone, for no reason, how could there be a snake in the house?"
Who could Grandma offend? Wu Mingyi suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Ning Wei. Could it be her?
Soon, Wu Mingyi rejected his idea.
It's not that she looked down on Ning Wei, the Duke's Mansion was heavily guarded. Even if Ning Wei borrowed her ten courages, she wouldn't be able to enter the Duke's Mansion.
"Forget it, grandpa has already sent someone to investigate, and the results will be available soon.
After His Highness learned about it, he asked Commander Pei to come to the mansion yesterday to re-defense it, and it is said that he even added more guards."
Jiang Xingyu nodded, "That's good!"
Wu Mingyi said: "I'm here to add makeup to you today.
By the way, Miss Ning is also here to add makeup to you, right?
What did Miss Ning add to the palm beads?
We Zhangzhu are the ones who are about to marry into the palace and become the princess, so we can’t be too stingy when it comes to adding makeup.
Otherwise, it would be very embarrassing to show off during the wedding."
Jiang Xingyu was afraid that Wu Mingyi would speak unobtrusively, and he would be afraid of what would happen.
Jiang Xing's tone made his chest tight, and he hurriedly said: "Sister Yi, don't talk nonsense, we have a deep affection for each other as sisters.
Between sisters, there is no such thing as these false etiquette.
Adding makeup or something depends on your intention, as long as it comes to your mind."
Wu Mingyi took over the words, "Zhangzhu, you can't say that.
Just because we have a deep friendship, we should always consider each other, right?
You are the one who married into the palace and became the princess. On your wedding day, how many pairs of eyes were watching you?
If the dowry is too inferior, it will not only disgrace you, but also disgrace the Shangshufu."
Ning Wei was ashamed after hearing this. Her thoughts were similar to Jiang Xingyu's. She believed that giving gifts is all about the heart, and that it is enough if the intention is met.
Jiang Xingyu was afraid that Ning Wei would be embarrassed, so he smiled and said: "There is nothing embarrassing or shameful!
What is the standard for light etiquette and heavy etiquette? Who sets the standard? When I get married, my preference will be the standard.
Even if it is an embroidery needle that Sister Yi gave me, it is still a treasure in my heart.
If he is someone I don't like, even if he gives me a gem for my house, it is just a broken stone in my eyes."
Wu Mingyi saw Jiang Xingyu refuting her, and the uneasy feeling in her heart began to rush in her chest. But when she heard what happened later, she was amused by Jiang Xingyu's words. "You girl, you are the only one who is wrong."
Jiang Xingyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wu Mingyi smiling.
